MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY REVIEW
In the first half of 2020, the global economy suffered a large-scale recession due to the outbreak of COVID-19. As of now, the outbreak of the epidemic is still spreading and the hopes of the epidemic coming to an end remains uncertain. In mainland China, the epidemic was contained in March 2020 and the daily life of residents has resumed to normal. However, as Europe and the United States have not fully lifted the restrictions, the economic outlook on the exports of mainland China remains gloomy. In contrast, the property management industry has maintained a relatively faster growth as they benefit from the certainty of new GFA delivered in the real estate industry. In addition, the social insurance relief policy across China and subsidy policies for the property management industry introduced by some local governments have alleviated the pressure on the profitability for the property management industry brought by the substantial increase in labor costs during prevention and control of the epidemic. COVID-19 is undoubtedly a challenge and also an opportunity for the property management industry. After the outbreak of the epidemic, most residents recognized the importance of the provision of dedicated management by property service providers; the municipal government authorities recognized the necessity of full cooperation of strong property management employees; and the policy makers gradually attached importance to the property management industry as an important part of its municipal governance system.
GROUP REVIEW
With the rapid growth of the GFA under management of the Group, the scale of our revenue and profit has also maintained rapid growth. The Group also gained further recognition in the industry. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, we were awarded the Top 100 Property Management Service Companies in terms of growth in 2020, and we ranked 11th in the Consolidated Ranking of China's Property Management Service in 2020.
In addition to the rapid growth in scale, the business structure of the Company has also been gradually optimized. In the first half of 2020, revenue of the Company amounted to approximately RMB1,221.6 million, representing a period-on-period growth of approximately 42.7%, among which, percentage of revenue contribution from community-relatedvalue-added services exceeded 15% for the first time to approximately RMB185.1 million. In addition, revenue from the Company's smart community services recorded a period-on-period growth of approximately 133.0%.
17
In the first half of 2020, the Company steadily pushed ahead the "one core and two increments" strategy. With respect to one core (i.e. the "property management services"), the Company effectively improved the response and timeliness of services through its development of smart platform and provision of butler services by way of grid management. Through the "excel arena" mechanism whereby each project management team will compare its service quality on an open platform and publish its results regularly, the Company effectively boosted the motivation of its project management team. The Company introduced the "project partner" mechanism to directly correlate the income of the project management team with the performance of the project. With respect to one of the "increments", the value-added services (i.e. "community-related value-addedservices"), the Company launched the sales of community fresh products and community retail services to meet the needs of property owners during the epidemic, which was well appreciated by property owners. The headquarters of the Company also developed more new businesses targeting at advanced communities with great potential, and encouraged regional companies to provide more value-added services based on their own characteristics. With respect to the other "increment", the expansion (i.e. "third parties project expansion/mergers and acquisitions"), the Company has set clear project expansion strategy and allocated manpower accordingly. With clear strategy comes good results. In the first half of this year, the new contracted GFA of third parties of approximately 12.5 million sq.m. (including mergers and acquisitions) already exceeded that of the
entire last year. In May 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Chengdu Chengyue Times Property Services Ltd* (成都誠 悅時代物業服務有限公司) ("Chengyue Times"), which marked an
important step for the Company to strategically enter the office building sector. The Company will replicate the excellent management capabilities of the office business of Chengyue Times, such as Grade A office buildings, corporate headquarters and industrial parks, as well as the ancillary catering capabilities across the whole country.
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR
Looking into the second half of 2020, it is expected that more new projects will be delivered as compared to the second half of 2019. We will provide property owners with an all round satisfying delivery experience, and at the same time, provide more ready-to-move-in services to facilitate property owners' home renovation. In terms of property management services, we will further promote the smart platform and improve the ancillary management mechanism, so as to improve the satisfaction of property owners and provide butlers with a clearer career development path to improve the employee satisfaction. In terms of community-relatedvalue-added services, the Group will focus on the development of new businesses such as household services and community asset services and step up efforts in promoting catering services in office buildings. In terms of third parties project expansion, while adhering to the relatively focused strategy, the Company will focus on the new residential properties, commercial properties, public infrastructure and other business sections by means of direct project expansion, setting up joint ventures with developers and merger and acquisition. The smart community business is another key strategic direction of the Company. We hope that such business will grow into a provider of integrated solutions for smart communities and smart businesses, preparing for the cusp of "smart" business. In the first half of 2020, we secured four smart engineering projects outside of Seazen Group, including one smart commercial project on high-end shopping center in the core area of Shanghai. It is expected that more projects will be secured in the second half of the year.

- Developer-relatedvalue-added services
We provide primarily three types of services related to property developers: sales office services, consultancy services and building inspection services.
During the period, revenue from developer-relatedvalue-added services amounted to approximately RMB298.3 million, an increase of approximately 8.8% as compared to approximately RMB274.2 million for the corresponding period in 2019, accounting for approximately 24.4% of revenue in the first half of 2020.
22
- Community-relatedvalue-added services
We provide public resources management services, community engineering services, extensive decoration services, asset management services, catering services and various other home living services to property owners and customers.
In the first half of the year, the community-relatedvalue-added services of the Group recorded a relatively rapid growth. Revenue for the period amounted to approximately RMB185.1 million, an increase of approximately 94.7% as compared to approximately RMB95.0 million for the corresponding period in 2019, accounting for approximately 15.2% of revenue in the first half of 2020. The Group's existing four community-relatedvalue-added services segments continued to grow in the first half of the year. The delivery of a large number of new projects generated tremendous business opportunities for our businesses, namely Xinchengju (新橙居), Xinyuehui (新悅薈) and Chengxiangjia (橙享家). These opportunities provided a good foundation for our rapid growth in the future. At the same time, we also diversified the mix of the community-relatedvalue-added services. In the first half of the year, we enriched the business of Xinchengshe (新橙杜), and strengthened our capabilities in building community retail and household services. As a result, the revenue contribution of Xinchengshe (新橙杜) significantly increased. Upon acquisition of Chengyue Times, its catering service has become our fifth community-relatedvalue-added service segment - "Yueshishang" (悅食尚), which will become a new growth point as an integral part of the office buildings and corporate headquarters projects as the development of catering service and the expansion of non-residential segment projects can generate very strong synergies.
Xinchengju (新橙居): Provision of extensive decoration services, with revenue of approximately RMB78.1 million, accounting for approximately 42.2% of revenue from community-relatedvalue-added services
In the first half of the year, the Group provided extensive decoration services for 55 batches of the delivery of new properties. The Group identified the business opportunities brought by the delivery of a large number of new properties earlier, and systematically upgraded the business model of Xinchengju (新橙居) . Adhering to the principle of providing convenience to property owners and assisting merchants, we adopted a unique self-operation model for
some of our products, which was conducive to the rapid growth in revenue of Xinchengju (新 橙居).
Xinchengshe (新橙社): Provision of a range of services related to daily life, with revenue of approximately RMB21.9 million, accounting for approximately 11.8% of revenue from community-relatedvalue-added services
As of 30 June 2020, revenue of Xinchengshe (新橙社) business amounted to approximately RMB21.9 million, exceeding the full year revenue of Xinchengshe (新橙社) business in 2019. During the outbreak of the epidemic, the Group provided property owners with a variety of fresh produce procurement and home delivery services, and launched pilot household delivery
services in the second quarter. These types of services have become new growth points of Xinchengshe (新橙社).
23
Yueshishang (悅食尚): Provision of catering services, with revenue of approximately RMB8.9 million, accounting for approximately 4.8% of revenue from community-relatedvalue-added services
Upon the acquisition of Chengyue Times, the Group has successfully introduced Yueshishang (悅食尚) service, allowing the Group to provide property owners with canteen and banquet catering services. Such service will be launched in the non-residential projects under management of the Group, and at the same time will help the Group to build a more favorable position when expanding its office buildings and corporate headquarters.
- Smart community services
The smart community services mainly provide one-stop smart solutions for various projects, covering residential properties, office buildings and complexes.
The smart community services of the Group also experienced rapid growth. Revenue for the period amounted to approximately RMB208.4 million, an increase of approximately 133.0% as compared to approximately RMB89.5 million for the corresponding period in 2019, accounting for approximately 17.1% of revenue for the first half of 2020.

During the first half of the year, we continued to adjust the composition of our project portfolio and exited from certain projects with relatively low profitability, and the policy on social security relief across China also had a positive impact on the gross profit margin of property management services.

Gross profit margin decreased by 18.2 percentage points to approximately 42.7% from approximately 60.9% in the corresponding period in 2019. The change in gross profit margin was mainly due to the change in business structure as a result of the higher revenue contribution from home living services during the first half of the year and the lower gross profit margin of our newly-introduced catering service as compared to the overall gross profit margin of the community-relatedvalue-added services.
Gross profit of our smart community services was approximately RMB31.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 157.9% as compared to approximately RMB12.0 million in the corresponding period in 2019.

Other gains/(losses) - net
During the period, other gains of the Group amounted to approximately RMB5.2 million as compared to other losses of approximately RMB3.6 million for the corresponding period in 2019. Such change was mainly due to the fluctuations of exchange rates during the period.

Under the rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands, the Group is exempted from income tax in the Cayman Islands.

Material Acquisition and Disposal
Acquisition of shares in Chengyue Times
On 7 May 2020, Tibet Xinchengyue Property Services Co., Ltd.* (西藏新城悅物業服務股份 有限公司), a subsidiary of the Group, entered into the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement in relation to the acquisition of Chengyue Times for a consideration of approximately RMB104.6 million to acquire 61.5% shares of Chengyue Times. The consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations among the parties to the Equity Interest Purchase Agreement after taking into account, among other things, the historical financial performance of the target group, the valuation of comparable transactions and the growth potential of the target company under the prevailing market conditions. The Group has financed the consideration by the internal financial resources of the Group.
26
The acquisition will further enhance the Group's management capabilities in commercial office buildings, corporate headquarters and science parks, and create more business opportunities in non-residential areas. Through the acquisition, the Company's market share and brand influence in the Sichuan and Chongqing markets will be further strengthened.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Group is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance to safeguard the interests of the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") and to enhance corporate value and accountability. The Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Code (the "CG Code") set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Rules") as its own code of corporate governance. Save as disclosed in this results announcement, the Company has complied with all applicable code provisions as set out in the CG Code during the six months ended 30 June 2020. The Company will continue to review and enhance its corporate governance practices to ensure the compliance with the CG Code.
28
Under code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer should be separate and performed by different individuals. Mr. Qi Xiaoming, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, is responsible for the overall management of the Group and guides the Group's strategic development and business plans. Considering the Group's current development status, the Board believes that the structure of the same person holding the two positions of chairman and chief executive officer can provide the Company with a strong and consistent leadership and benefit the implementation and execution of the Group's business strategies. Nonetheless, we will review the structure from time to time based on the circumstances at that time. The Board will continue to evaluate relevant situations and separate the two roles of chairman and chief executive officer at a proper time taking into account the Group's overall status.
MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the "Model Code") as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules as a code of conduct regarding Directors' securities transactions. Having made specific inquiries with all the Directors, each of the Directors has confirmed that he/she has complied with the required standards as set out in the Model Code during the six months ended 30 June 2020.
SHARE OPTIONS
In order to provide incentives or rewards to the Directors and certain employees of the Company for their contributions to the Group, the Shareholders adopted a share option scheme (the "Share Option Scheme") on 20 October 2018. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Company granted a total of 2,960,000 share options (each option entitles its holder to subscribe for one share of the Company) under the Share Option Scheme to certain executive Directors and employees. For details of the grant of share options, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 30 June 2020.
SHARE AWARD SCHEME
The Company adopted a share award scheme with effect from 15 November 2019 (the "Share Award Scheme"), to recognise the contribution of certain employees and to provide incentives for them to continuously make greater contributions for the Group's long-term growth in the future, details of which are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 15 November 2019. Accordingly, the Company will entrust the trustee of the Share Award Scheme to purchase existing shares in the open market based on the overall remuneration incentive plan. The said trustee will hold such shares on behalf of certain employees on trust, until such shares are vested with them. The aggregated maximum number of shares underlying all grants made pursuant to the Share Award Scheme (excluding shares that have been forfeited in accordance with the Share Award Scheme) must not exceed 1.25% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at 15 November 2019.
The Share Award Scheme does not constitute a share option scheme under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and is a discretionary scheme of the Company. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, a total of 5,000,000 shares were granted by the Company to certain executive directors and employees under the Share Award Scheme to recognise their contribution to the Group.
