During the Reporting Period, the Group kept building its core competitiveness for faster business growth by way of strengthening its product and technology capabilities.

In this period, the Group spent a total of RMB1.58 billion on R&D, a 60.5% year-on-year increase; and it applied for 505 international patents through PCT, representing a cumulative number of 10,495.

The Group has divested its intelligent terminal and supporting businesses in the Restructuring, so as to refine its business and capital structures, concentrate on the core business and transform towards a high-tech conglomerate. The Restructuring plan has been approved at the First Extraordinary General Meeting of 2019 on 7 January 2019 and the Group has received the transaction amount in full on 15 April 2019. As such, the target assets in the Restructuring will be excluded from the Group’s consolidated financial statements from Q2 2019.

The Semi-Conductor Display and Material Business It consists of CSOT, Guangdong Juhua and China Ray. 2.

In pursuit of the whole-new positioning of a high-tech conglomerate, the Group will also enter into other key basic high-tech industries when the timing is ripe by means of M&A, etc., so as to foster new driving force. TCL Corporation Semi-Conductor Display Industrial Finance & Emerging Business & Material Business Investment and VC Business Group CSOT TCL Finance Highly Guangdong Juhua TCL Capital Education Web China Ray Environmental Resource (I) The Semi-Conductor Display and Material Business 1. CSOT 12 TCL Corporation First Quarter Report 2019 During Q1 2019, CSOT achieved a shipment of 5.56 million square meters, up by 17.1% year-on-year; operating revenue of RMB7,250 million, up by 12.1% year-on-year; an EBITDA ratio of 28.2%; and a net profit of RMB683 million, up by 35.2% as compared to Q4 2018. Affected by the global economic downturn and the industrial cycle, CSOT’s major products saw a significant price drop as compared to Q1 2018. To deal with that, CSOT actively promoted reform and transformation, and managed to maintain leading operating efficiency and performance across the global industry. Firstly, it further optimized its organization and flows for better cost efficiency. Secondly, it increased its revenue through improving its product and technology capabilities and refining its product structure. Thirdly, the two production bases of small- and large-sized panels gave play to their advantage of intensive production as a way to reduce the structural costs. Finally, the t3 plant operated at full capacity for strong sales and achieved a higher operating profit with 5.29 times of growth in shipment area and 3.95 times of growth in sales revenue as compared to Q1 2018. CSOT’s core competitiveness lies in product and technology innovation. In the field of large-sized panels, CSOT boasts the unique HVA technology, the industry-leading Cu-Cu+COA+PFA manufacturing process, the application of the quantum-dot technology and the early development of the MINI-LED back-light technology. In the field of small- and medium-sized panels, in addition to the completed LTPS plant (t3), CSOT’s flexible AM-OLED plant (t4) is expected to achieve mass production in Q4 2019, which targets high-end markets across the world with the HD full-screen, flexible and foldable technologies. Meanwhile, CSOT will continue to work on the next-generation flexible printed OLED technology so as to further strengthen its advantage of advanced technologies. International competitiveness is an important driver of CSOT’s business growth. In December 2018, construction started for CSOT’s module and whole-widget integrated intelligent manufacturing park in India, with a planned annual capacity of 8 million pieces of large-sized TV panels and 30 million pieces of small- and medium-sized handset panels. Additionally, the rapid growth in the unit sales of TCL TV and smart phones across the world, especially their enlarging market shares in major countries and regions, provided a strong support for CSOT’s operating at full capacity. Based on its world-leading advantages in the large-sized TV panel industry, CSOT will proactively break into new application markets with high added value, including interactive whiteboards, tiled 13 TCL Corporation First Quarter Report 2019 video walls, advertisement players, gaming monitor, vehicles, etc. In this way, it is marching faster towards a multi-application-scenario display interface provider. Currently, the global semi-conductor display industry is still experiencing a slight oversupply ,the competition is being fiercely. But opportunities are followed with challenges. This year, in order to support the real economy, China has unveiled a series of effective measures, including tax cuts and encouraging technological innovations, to promote faster development of the manufacturing sector in a high-quality manner. In view of that, CSOT, as a high-end manufacturer, is confident to continue to grow in a healthy way with better operating results. Meanwhile, driven by technological innovation, CSOT’s production is ramping up fast. It also maintains leading operating efficiency and performance by way of promoting cost efficiency, further strengthens its advantages with regard to products and new display technology through continual investment, as well as beefs up its efforts on new application markets and major regional markets. Therefore, CSOT’s core competitiveness is expected to strengthen further. We are confident that CSOT will achieve a double-digit growth in sales revenue and profit for 2019. 1.1 Large-Sized Panel Business Group During the Reporting Period, CSOT’s two G8.5 TFT-LCD production lines—t1 and t2 continued to strengthen the position and competitive edges in the large-sized panel industry by means of improving product development and process design, increasing product quality and enriching the product mix.
