China's "carbon peak before 2030, carbon neutrality before 2060" targets and various supportive policies (financial subsidies, grid connection convenience, land concessions, technological incentives) are driving rapid development of the photovoltaic industry[12] - The "Administrative Measures for the Development and Construction of Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation" issued in January 2025 stipulate that projects connected to the grid before May 1, 2025, will enjoy 20 years of fixed financial subsidies, while new projects thereafter will operate fully under market mechanisms[12] - The "Notice on Deepening the Market-Oriented Reform of New Energy On-grid Tariffs and Promoting High-Quality Development of New Energy" issued in February 2025 promotes the full integration of new energy projects into the electricity market, differentiating pricing mechanisms for existing and new projects[15] - Driven by policies, China's newly installed photovoltaic capacity exceeded 200 GW in the first half of 2025, with 92.92 GW in May, setting a new monthly record[15] - Grid curtailment restrictions led to some power curtailment losses for the Group during the period, and some market-based electricity transaction prices were slightly lower than on-grid tariffs, resulting in a decrease in electricity sales revenue[16][17] Financial Comparison for H1 2025 vs H1 2024 | Indicator | H1 2025 (RMB million) | H1 2024 (RMB million) | Change (%) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Revenue | 1,210.2 | 1,124.0 | +7.7% | | Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company | 449.8 | 364.4 | +23.4% | | Basic earnings per share (RMB cents) | 5.37 | 4.41 | - | Business Review In the first half of 2025, the Group's total power generation increased by 22.7% year-on-year, primarily due to newly acquired large-scale solar farm projects and the full operation of the 2024 portfolio; the Group continued to expand grid-parity project capacity, reducing reliance on feed-in tariff policies, with electricity sales revenue growing by 14.9%, driving improved operating cash flow and financial stability - In the first half of 2025, the Group's total power generation from solar farm projects increased by 22.7% compared to the first half of 2024[18] - The increase in power generation was mainly due to the successful acquisition of a large-scale solar farm project (2025 portfolio) and the full operation of the 2024 portfolio[18] - In the first half of 2025, the Group acquired a grid-parity solar farm project with an approved capacity of 30 MW from Xinyi Solar Group[21] - As of June 30, 2025, the Group operated and held solar farm projects with an approved generation capacity of 4,540.5 MW, of which 1,734 MW were under feed-in tariff policies and 2,806.5 MW under grid-parity policies[21] - Electricity sales contributed 61.2% of the Group's revenue, an increase of 14.9% compared to the first half of 2024, with the increase in grid-parity projects driving improved operating cash flow and financial stability[21] Business Outlook Facing new energy market reforms, the Group is closely monitoring policy details and adjusting its acquisition strategy to address tariff uncertainties; it plans to stabilize revenue and enhance market volatility resilience by signing medium-to-long-term power purchase agreements and establishing a market-oriented trading team, while also planning to set up an infrastructure securities investment fund for financial flexibility, reducing financing costs and exchange rate risks through increased domestic long-term bank loans and currency conversions, and expanding overseas with a 100 MW Malaysia project expected to commence in the second half of the year, alongside continued exploration of new energy opportunities in Japan and other Asia-Pacific regions - The "Reform Notice" promotes the full integration of new energy projects into the electricity market, and the Group is closely monitoring policy developments to assess the impact once specific implementation details are finalized[22] - Due to unclear policy details, the on-grid tariffs and acquisition costs of proposed solar farm projects are difficult to estimate, leading to a delay in the 2025 annual acquisition plan[23] - The Group is adjusting its operating strategy, with a medium-to-long-term plan to sign medium-to-long-term power purchase agreements with end-users or power sales companies to stabilize electricity sales prices and lock in revenue[24] - In terms of short-term strategy, a market-oriented trading team has been established and an electricity trading platform built, utilizing AI prediction models to enhance electricity price trend analysis capabilities[24] - The Group is implementing a plan to establish an infrastructure securities investment fund for selected solar farm assets, aiming for listing on a Chinese stock exchange to partially realize its investment portfolio and enhance financial flexibility[27] - To counter rising financing costs, the Group increased domestic long-term bank loans to refinance original offshore short-term loans and completed the conversion of all non-RMB denominated bank loans to RMB-denominated ones in the first half of 2025[27] - As of June 30, 2025, short-term borrowings accounted for 33.5% of bank loans, lower than 34.7% as of December 31, 2024, reflecting improved capital structure stability[27] - In business expansion, the joint venture successfully bid for a 100 MW large-scale solar farm project in Malaysia in 2024, expected to commence construction in the second half of 2025, and will continue to seek new energy opportunities in Japan and other Asia-Pacific regions[28][29] Management Discussion and Analysis Financial Review In the first half of 2025, the Group's revenue primarily derived from solar power generation and operation management services, with total revenue growing by 7.7%; electricity sales revenue increased by 14.9%, but tariff adjustment revenue decreased by 1.9%, with some gains offset by curtailment losses and market-based transactions; cost of sales rose due to increased depreciation and maintenance expenses, leading to a slight decrease in gross profit margin; other income and net gains increased, while administrative expenses rose; finance costs significantly decreased due to lower effective interest rates, and income tax expense also declined due to reduced withholding tax; both EBITDA and net profit increased, with an improved net profit margin Revenue The Group's total revenue for the first half of 2025 was RMB 1,210.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%, primarily driven by electricity sales, but partially offset by grid curtailment restrictions and market-based electricity transactions - In the first half of 2025, the Group's revenue primarily came from solar power generation and the provision of solar farm operation and management services[32] Revenue Comparative Analysis (For the six months ended June 30) | Revenue Source | H1 2025 (RMB million) | H1 2025 (%) | H1 2024 (RMB million) | H1 2024 (%) | Change (RMB million) | Change (%) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Electricity sales | 740.5 | 61.2 | 644.2 | 57.3 | 96.3 | 14.9 | | Tariff adjustment | 465.0 | 38.4 | 473.9 | 42.2 | (8.9) | (1.9) | | Subtotal | 1,205.5 | 99.6 | 1,118.1 | 99.5 | 87.4 | 7.8 | | Operation and management services | 4.7 | 0.4 | 5.9 | 0.5 | (1.2) | (20.3) | | Total | 1,210.2 | 100.0 | 1,124.0 | 100.0 | 86.2 | 7.7 | -

The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly due to the increase in revenue exceeding the increase in cost of sales[39] Other Income In the first half of 2025, other income increased by RMB 4.5 million to RMB 13.5 million, primarily driven by increased government grants and insurance compensation Other Income Comparison (RMB million) | Indicator | H1 2025 | H1 2024 | Change (RMB million) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Other income | 13.5 | 9.0 | +4.5 | -
