III Performance Discussion and Analysis
1. Performance Review for Reporting Period
In the first half of 2017, China’s economy expanded steadily while the world economy continued to recover. With
real estate tightening policies and the RMB in stabilization and recovery, China’s home appliance industry kept
seeking for growth in the “New Normal Economic State”. In the Reporting Period, increased general costs of
home appliance makers caused by high-priced raw materials boosted the prices of end products; large-capacity,
intelligent and healthy household appliances have become more and more favored; and factors such as changing
consumption, evolving manufacturing and distribution systems and deeper technological research and
development have changed the value chain substantially. Domestically, with the popularization of washing
machines, the future growth point for such manufacturers lies in product structure upgrading by developing and
introducing new types of products and products with new functions. Considering the burgeoning clothes drying
demand resulted from changing living environments and habits, washer-dryers and freestanding dryers are
expected to be in great need. Internationally, mature markets such as the American and European countries with a
high washer ownership rate, mainly look for renewal; while emerging markets with fewer washers seek for new
machines largely. Due to the noticeable pick-up in export of washing machines as a result of the gradual recovery
of the global economy, international business is estimated to be more profitable. According to ChinaIOL, a
surveying company, China saw the sales of 30.021 million washing machines in the first half of 2017, up 9.2% on
a year-on-year basis, of which 20.3 million units were sold domestically, representing an increase of 6.9%, and
9.721 million units were exported, up 14.4%.
In the first six months of 2017, the Company continued to adhere closely to its core strategy of “Advanced
Products, Efficiency-Driven Growth and Global Operations” and focus on its main business of washing machines,
as well as the needs of its customers. It furthered its operational transformation, strengthened research and
development, improved product quality, expanded overseas markets and promoted manufacturing and efficiency
improvement, which has helped increase its core competitiveness and resulted in good operating results. For the
six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company achieved consolidated operating revenues of RMB10.57 billion, up
32.4% compared to the same period of last year. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company stood
at RMB0.73 billion, representing a 26.0% growth. And the consolidated gross profit margin was 25.6%.
