1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Non - standard risk events have significantly eased in 2025, hitting a new low since 2019, mainly due to the implementation of debt - resolution policies, increased attention and initiative of urban investment platforms in non - standard product payments, and bank replacement of non - standard debts [2][6][26][65]. - However, the risk mitigation is structurally differentiated. Some regions and industries still face risks, and the resolution and clearance of non - standard credit risks remain a long - term task. The potential for non - standard risks to spread to priority debts such as bonds still needs attention [3][26][65]. - The debt security of the real estate industry depends on sales revenue. Without improvement in sales, risks are difficult to eliminate unless there is strong support from the actual controller. Tail risks in industries such as industrial holding, diversified finance, and construction also need to be vigilant [3][26][66]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Non - standard Default Overall Situation - From 2018 - 2025, there were 7,219 non - standard risk events in total. The number of "default events" reached a peak of 978 in 2023, then decreased significantly in 2024 and 2025, with 165 events in 2025, a decrease of 544 from the previous year [6]. - For different financing methods, the number of trust plan risk events increased from 319 in 2019 to 570 in 2023, then decreased to 210 in 2025.

The number of non - standard default events of district - county - level urban investment platforms decreased to 12 in 2025 from 110 in 2023. The number of non - standard default events of prefecture - level city urban investment platforms also decreased in 2025. In 2025, there were no new non - standard default events at the provincial level [34]. 3.2.3 By Prefecture - level City (including Development Zones within Prefecture - level Cities) - The top five prefecture - level cities with the most non - standard default events were Zunyi, Weifang, Xi'an, Kunming, and Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. In 2025, Weifang and Kunming had new non - standard default events, and Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture had its first non - standard default event at the prefecture - level city level [34]. 3.2.4 By District - county - The top five district - county regions with the most non - standard default events were Hanting District of Weifang, Licang District of Qingdao, Boshan District of Zibo, Dushan County of Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, and Huichuan District of Zunyi. In 2025, the non - standard default events in most districts and counties decreased, and 50 districts and counties had no new non - standard risk events [39]. 3.2.5 Bond - issuing Urban Investment Entities with Multiple Non - standard Defaults - In 2025, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Yunnan were still areas with serious non - standard defaults of urban investment. Urban investment entities in Kunming of Yunnan, Licang District of Qingdao, Hanting District of Weifang, Mengzi City of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and Weifang Binhai Economic and Technological Development Zone had 2 or more non - standard default events [44]. 3.2.6 Bond - issuing Urban Investment Entities with First Non - standard Defaults - In 2025, 5 bond - issuing urban investment entities had their first non - standard default, located in Shaanxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Fujian, and Yunnan.

Trust plans had the most non - standard risk events (44 times), including 30 default events. The industries with non - standard risk events were mainly urban investment and real estate development, accounting for 48% and 30% respectively [49][55]. - For bond - issuing entities, there were 23 non - standard risk events, including 19 default events and 4 extension events; 12 repayment events and 9 partial repayment events. In terms of regions, Shandong had the most non - standard risk events (6 times), followed by Shaanxi and Fujian (4 times each) [49][55]. - For urban investment bond - issuing entities, there were 9 default events and 2 extension events, involving 8 entities. The default events were mainly in Shandong, Shaanxi, and Guizhou.

Other industries had 12 non - standard risk events, mainly in the real estate industry [59][63]. 3.4 Summary - Non - standard risk events have improved significantly in 2025, but the risk mitigation is structural. The non - standard debt is still in an inferior position in the repayment order, and the debt continuation in weak regions is still difficult. The potential spread of non - standard risks to priority debts needs attention [65][66]. - In the real estate industry, debt security depends on sales revenue. Tail risks in industries such as industrial holding, diversified finance, and construction also need to be vigilant [66].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In January, the approval of urban investment bonds was characterized by a continuous increase in registration quotas, a slowdown in the approval pace, and a low level of terminated project scale. The overall financing pace at the beginning of the year shifted from loose to tight [5][47]. - The marginal changes in bond market supervision and approval reflect that the current implementation of debt - resolution policies continues the orientation of "strictly controlling increments, resolving existing stocks, and providing long - term empowerment." The issuance of the third batch of 2 trillion yuan in replacement bonds started in early January, and the Ministry of Finance further clarified that ultra - long - term special treasury bonds would continue to be arranged in 2026. Considering that 2026 is the sprint stage for debt resolution and the 6 - trillion - yuan replacement bond plan is coming to an end, the upward trend of urban investment bond registration quotas is expected to continue [5][47]. - In the long run, the urban investment debt - resolution work has entered a critical period of accelerating and improving efficiency. The debt - resolution paths will be more diverse, and the differentiation of debt - resolution effects among different regions will become more obvious. As the goal of clearing hidden debts approaches, local debt - resolution efforts will continue to increase, the market - oriented clearance process of financing platforms will accelerate, and measures to promote platform transformation through asset restructuring will be more in - depth [6][48]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Registration Situation: Continuous Increase in Urban Investment Registration Quotas - In January, the registration quota of urban investment platforms continued to rise. The registration scale of provincial, municipal, and district - county urban investment all increased to varying degrees, while the registration scale of weak - quality districts and counties declined. The scale in regions such as Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hubei increased significantly month - on - month [2][12]. - The planned issuance scale of urban investment bonds registered on the exchange was 315 billion yuan (previous value: 239.4 billion yuan), and that on DCM was 177.1 billion yuan (previous value: 168.5 billion yuan). The overall registration continued to rise and was higher than the quotas in the same period of the past three years [12]. - The proportion of district - county urban investment bonds in the three - month moving average among all administrative levels continued to decline for three months to 52%. The registration scale of district - county platforms with a budget revenue of less than 5 billion yuan was 66.9 billion yuan (previous value: 92.3 billion yuan), and the three - month moving average proportion increased to 37.8% [15][18]. 3.2 Approval Feedback: Slowdown in Urban Investment Bond Approval - In January, the approval pace of DCM and the exchange for urban investment bonds slowed down. The average number of feedbacks from DCM was 2.4 times (previous value: 2.4 times), and the feedback time increased to 41.5 days (previous value: 40.6 days); the average number of feedbacks from the exchange was 4.2 times (previous value: 4.2 times), and the feedback time increased to 77.8 days (previous value: 68.9 days) [25]. - The feedback pace of public urban investment corporate bonds in prefecture - level cities accelerated significantly, while that of private urban investment corporate bonds in prefecture - level and district - county levels slowed down [30]. - The approval feedback days in Sichuan, Fujian, Hubei and other regions were significantly extended. The approval pace in Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan and other regions accelerated significantly, while Shandong and Henan continued the trend of a slowdown in the approval speed [32]. - The approval pace of weak - quality district - county platform bonds continued to slow down. The feedback days of district - county platforms with a general budget revenue of less than 5 billion yuan were 67.2 days (previous value: 65.2 days), lower than the average of last year [35]. 3.3 Terminated Issuance: Low - Level Maintenance of Terminated Project Scale - In January, the scale of terminated projects remained at a low level. The planned issuance scale of terminated urban investment bonds increased from 500 million yuan to 600 million yuan, and the number of terminated projects was the same as last month, both being 1. The proportion of the terminated scale of district - county urban investment bonds in the three - month moving average increased to 74% [37]. - The terminated projects of urban investment platforms mainly occurred in Hubei, mainly in district - county platforms [42]. 3.4 Research Conclusions and Suggestions - The approval of urban investment bonds in January showed the characteristics of a continuous increase in registration quotas, a slowdown in the approval pace, and a low - level maintenance of terminated project scale. The overall financing pace at the beginning of the year shifted from loose to tight [5][47]. - The marginal changes in bond market supervision and approval reflect the implementation of the current debt - resolution policy. Considering the debt - resolution situation in 2026, the upward trend of urban investment bond registration quotas is expected to continue [5][47]. - In the long run, the urban investment debt - resolution work has entered a critical period, with more diverse debt - resolution paths and more obvious differentiation in debt - resolution effects among regions. Local debt - resolution efforts will increase, and platform transformation will be promoted more deeply [6][48].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the industry [11] Core Insights - The sales volume of sanitation equipment in 2025 is projected to reach 79,000 units, representing a year-on-year growth of 11.5%, marking the first year of positive growth since 2021. Notably, sales of new energy sanitation vehicles are expected to increase by 76.8%, with a cumulative penetration rate of approximately 21.7% [3][6][18] - The recovery in sales is primarily attributed to the advancement of national debt reduction policies, which are expected to further enhance the demand for sanitation equipment. Additionally, the "14th Five-Year Plan" carbon reduction policies are anticipated to drive the penetration and economic viability of new energy sanitation equipment [3][8][9] Summary by Sections Overview - In 2025, the sanitation equipment sales are expected to grow by 11.5%, with new energy sanitation vehicles experiencing a significant increase of 76.8%.
