No. 3 Foshan Electrical and Lighting Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2019 (Summary) Part III Operating Performance Discussion and Analysis 1. Business Overview of the Reporting Period Is the Company subject to any industry-specific disclosure requirements? No. In the first half of 2019, China’s economy was under great pressure for growth. From an international perspective, global economic growth slowed down, US-China trade conflicts continued to escalate, the international trade was in confusion, and overseas market demand played a weaker role in driving China’s economic development; from a domestic perspective, real estate regulation policies remained tight, disparity among manufacturers was getting increasingly evident, and many challenges posed a threat to economic development. For lighting companies, on one hand, LED lighting has developed at a fast pace, the penetration rate of LED lighting products has continued to increase, and the growth of market demand has slowed down in recent years. On the other hand, companies have released their expanded capacity one after another, resulting in continuously sliding retail prices of lighting products and increasingly fierce competition between industries. In light of the macroeconomic pressure, slowed industrial growth and fierce market competition environment, the Company continued to deepen technical renovations and the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing for its main products by centering around the strategic goal of “Cutting-edge Technology, International Brand and Market and Large-scale Production” raised by the board of directors. Additionally, it dealt with the pressure of market competition through internal reorganization and team coordination and the integration of various advantaged resources. For the Reporting Period, the Company achieved operating revenue of RMB1687.1847 million, a year-on-year decrease of 18.29 %; and a net profit attributable to the listed company’s shareholders of RMB167.2757 million, a year-on-year decrease of 27.04 %. In the first half of 2019, the Company mainly focused on the following work: 1.

At the same time, it improved the remuneration 4 Foshan Electrical and Lighting Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2019 (Summary) and incentive system of business units, proactively mobilized staff enthusiasm, strengthened the development of leadership, and kept exploring and innovating in incentive mechanism. It encouraged the orientation by problem solving and the joint creation of value and sharing of results by everyone who should have a sense of engagement. In terms of domestic sales, the Company explored and promoted the high-end development of its products, set up stores for the experience of a high-end, intelligent and healthy household life, and enhanced the image of Foshan Lighting in consumers’ mind through the export at the windows of the experience stores; it proactively developed engineering channel business with a focus on education, real estate, rail transit and brand franchising to increase its market shares on engineering channel; it continued to develop high quality automotive lamp projects and new LED module projects and increase LED module application vehicle models in an attempt to raise its markets shares in lamp factories and main device factories. In terms of overseas sales, to deal with the impact of US-China trade conflicts, the Company beefed up the promotion of intelligent products and made joint efforts to develop new products based on the demands of key accounts; it made active steps to explore overseas e-commerce channel and further expanded marketing channels; it made use of the development opportunities brought by “Belt and Road” to vigorously expand the markets in “Belt and Road” countries, strengthen brand promotion overseas, enhance the influence of self-owned brands, and propel the pace of brand internationalization. 2. Improved intelligent product technologies and product categories, resulting in considerable growth in the sales of intelligent products During the Reporting Period, the Company continued to enrich the categories of intelligent products and maintained the upgrading and improvement of intelligent control technologies. It connected with more influential mainstream cloud platforms both at home and abroad, including China’s Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent and Jingdong, and foreign Amazon, Google, WIZ and key accounts platforms. Meanwhile, it upgraded its own cloud platform and continued to provide users with solutions from the intelligent control of single product to scenario-based intelligent household solutions. During the Reporting Period, the Company proactively carried out interdisciplinary cooperation with other platform enterprises in the field of intelligence. It made use of Huawei’s HiLink intelligent technology to connect with Huawei’s intelligent ecological chain and carried out in-depth cooperation with Huawei in intelligent household lighting; it took the initiative to discuss deep cooperation with Baidu and Alibaba Cloud in intelligent household life. In the first half of 2019, the Company achieved sales 5 Foshan Electrical and Lighting Co., Ltd. Interim Report 2019 (Summary) revenue of RMB20,305,900 from its intelligent products, including a centralized purchase order of one million lamps by Alibaba’s Tmall Genie and a new sales revenue of RMB754,000 from intelligent electrical products. 3. Strengthened efforts in intelligent manufacturing to speed up fast response The Company’s production automation has improved substantially over recent years’ continuous development in production automation. On the basis of that, the Company continued to center around the goal of “Automation, Flexibility and Large Scale”, optimized process automation for some production lines based on the actual production conditions, and tried to push the standard and modular process from front end to back end, in an effort to enhance the flexibility and compatibility of production automation. At the same time, the Company accelerated the level of information building. On the basis of the existing SAP system, OA system and HR system, it established the SRM (supply chain) system, WMS (warehouse) system and PDM (R&D) system and promoted the integration of its automated production lines and information systems, aiming to achieve inter-connectivity and integration and open up its business data chains in different segments, including R&D, purchase, manufacturing, warehousing and sales.
