After restructuring, the distilled spirits industry began to recover and experience increasingly fierce competition. Under the common efforts of the Board and all the staff, for the six months from January to June 2017, the Company achieved, on a consolidated basis, operating revenues of RMB3.67 billion, up 20.53% compared to the same period of last year; and net profit attributable to the owners of the Company (as the parent company) of RMB549 million, representing a year-on-year growth of 27.34%. As such, the operating goals that the Company had set for the first half of 2017 at the beginning of the year were all accomplished. To achieve that, we took the following main measures in the Reporting Period: ① following a strategy of “from the high-end market to other markets, from the international market to the domestic market” to extend the influence of the Company’s brands; ② optimizing the product mix; ③ further improving the brewing technique to increase product quality; ④ accelerating informatization through the “5.0” strategy; ⑤ furthering cost control step by step while tapping potential and increasing efficiency; ⑥ improving human resources management to provide a driving force; ⑦ strengthening safety and environmental protection management to ensure stable operations; and ⑧ furthering party committee-management integration to promote development through party committee improvement. 2.
