1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content is provided in the report. 2. Core View of the Report In 2025, China's non - standard market entered a stage of deep transformation and structural adjustment under continuous regulatory guidance. The regulatory framework of the trust industry was systematically reconstructed, and the financing platform business in the financial leasing industry was classified as an "exit - class" business. The scale of the non - standard market is expected to continue to shrink, and non - standard asset risks will still exist in the short term. Although the short - term risks of urban investment enterprises are generally controllable under the support of debt - resolution policies, risks in regions with heavy debt pressure such as Shandong and Guizhou still need attention [1]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Policy Review - The regulatory framework of China's trust industry was systematically reconstructed and continuously deepened in 2025, aiming to make the trust industry return to its origin. The State Financial Regulatory Administration positioned the financing platform business as an "exit - class" business for the first time, and non - compliant financial leasing business of ineligible leased items faced replacement pressure [4]. - A series of policies such as "Document 35", "Document 134", and "Document 226" were introduced to promote the orderly contraction of non - standard debt of urban investment enterprises and transform the stock assets to a more reasonable cost [8]. Market Review (1) Debt Investment Plans - In 2025, the number, scale, and issuance payment scale of debt investment plan registrations continued to decline. The registration scale in Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Guangdong ranked among the top. The total scale of stock debt investment plans in Hubei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Sichuan, and Jiangsu accounted for 41.21%, and the regional concentration increased [9]. - The top two investment fields were transportation and park infrastructure, with the registration scale accounting for 49.24% and 21.21% respectively in 2025. The average investment period in 2025 was 7.6 years, longer than that in 2024, and the average registration yield decreased by 0.47 percentage points to 3.66% per year [9]. (2) Trust Plans - As of the end of June 2025, the scale of outstanding capital trust assets continued to grow to 24.43 trillion yuan. The proportion of funds invested in the securities market became the largest, while the proportion invested in basic industries, industrial and commercial enterprises, and the real estate industry decreased. Traditional non - standard financing business was further compressed [19]. - In the context of the three - category classification, trust companies were gradually transforming from traditional non - standard financing business to the origin business of asset management, asset services, public welfare and charity [19]. (3) Financial Leasing - In 2025, the value of leasing and financing property in the whole industry decreased by 7.77% year - on - year to 3.19 trillion yuan. The value in Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Sichuan, and Shanghai decreased significantly. The main investment regions were Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hebei, and Anhui, accounting for more than 56% [27]. - The value of leasing and financing property of urban investment companies and their subsidiaries accounted for about 29% of the whole industry, and continued to shrink under the influence of regulatory policies and debt - resolution measures [32]. Non - standard Risk Events - In 2025, the number of non - standard risk events decreased significantly, with trust plans becoming the main type of risk products, accounting for more than 65%. Financial leasing still faced the pressure of renewal due to subsequent policy tightening [34]. - Urban investment enterprises were an important part of the underlying assets of non - standard products. Risk events mainly occurred in regions with high debt pressure such as Guizhou, Shandong, and Shaanxi, and district - and county - level urban investment enterprises accounted for a relatively high proportion [34]. Future Outlook - Under the guidance of regulatory policies, the non - standard market is undergoing profound transformation. Trust companies are gradually transforming to the origin business, and some financial leasing business faces replacement pressure [41]. - Considering the substitution effect of bank loans and bonds, the issuance and implementation of non - standard products will still be difficult in the future. Although the risks of non - standard assets of urban investment enterprises are generally controllable in the short term, risks in high - debt - pressure regions still need continuous attention [41].

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.

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.

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].

Core Viewpoint - Companies seeking to expand internationally face significant challenges in securing funding, which is crucial for project operations and mergers and acquisitions. Various financing methods exist, each with its own advantages and suitability depending on the company's situation [1]. Group 1: Financing Methods - **Bank Loans**: Suitable for mature companies with good credit records and stable cash flow, allowing them to borrow from domestic or foreign banks for overseas projects or operational needs. The benefits include lower interest rates and no dilution of equity, but strict credit checks and repayment obligations can increase financial pressure [3][5][6]. - **Bond Issuance**: Typically utilized by large state-owned enterprises or reputable private companies to raise substantial funds for long-term projects. This method allows for significant capital influx with fewer restrictions on fund usage, but it requires high credit ratings and involves complex, time-consuming processes [7][9]. - **Equity Financing (including Overseas Funds)**: Involves selling shares to foreign strategic or financial investors, suitable for growing innovative companies or mature firms looking to expand. This method strengthens capital without repayment obligations but may dilute ownership and complicate negotiations [10][13]. - **Venture Capital**: A specific type of equity financing aimed at early-stage companies with high growth potential. Venture capitalists provide not only funding but also guidance and industry connections, although they often require significant equity stakes and have clear exit expectations [14][17]. - **Supply Chain Financing**: This method leverages the creditworthiness of core enterprises to provide financing to smaller suppliers, facilitating cash flow and operational efficiency. It is less dependent on overall company credit and can be executed quickly, but it relies heavily on the core enterprise's cooperation [18][19]. - **Financing Leasing**: A method where leasing companies purchase equipment for businesses to use, allowing for flexible payment terms. This is particularly useful for acquiring high-value assets without upfront costs, although it may result in higher overall costs compared to bank loans [20][21]. Group 2: Considerations for Choosing Financing - **Development Stage**: Early-stage companies may prioritize venture capital, while those in rapid expansion might combine various financing methods. Mature companies typically opt for bonds or bank loans to optimize capital structure [21][22]. - **Purpose of Funds**: For large, long-term projects, bond issuance or long-term loans are preferable. Equipment purchases align well with financing leasing, while strategic development without specific collateral may lead to equity financing [22][23]. - **Cost and Risk Assessment**: Companies unwilling to dilute equity should focus on debt financing options like loans and bonds. Conversely, those looking to alleviate debt burdens might consider equity financing or operational leasing [23][24]. - **Additional Benefits**: Companies seeking not just capital but also industry resources or technology should target strategic investors or private equity funds. Collaborating with core enterprises for supply chain financing can also strengthen business relationships [24].
