Other □Applicable√Non-applicable Section 3 Discussion and Analysis of Operation Conditions Ⅰ. Discussion and Analysis of Operating Conditions In this year, the automobile industry was vulnerable to unfavorable factors such as economic fluctuations, short supply of chips, and volatility of raw materials. During the reporting period, as driven by the positive factors including broad product line, system R&D capabilities and innovation-intensive business pattern, the sales income and profit of the Company maintained rapid growth, and its business management activities were also boosted. More details are described below: (1) Marketing and sales. 11 / 272 Ningbo Tuopu Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 The Tier0.5 cooperation mode rolled out by the Company and its strategic customers has made an exemplary success. Under this mode, the number and amount of components per vehicle are higher, and the Company is able to provide better QSTP products and services to customers, create value for customers.Adhering to the cooperation concept of “quick response and all-out cooperation”, the Company has been highly rated by strategic customers, and there is an ample potential of business growth.Tuopu Poland has been put into operation, and the construction of Tuopu Mexico’s Phase I 220-mu factory is paced up to fulfill the order request of strategic customers and deepen strategic partnerships. The Tier0.5 cooperation has been continuously promoted. In the domestic market, the company's cooperation with Huawei, Jinkang, BYD, Geely NEV, Lixiang, NIO, Xiaopeng and other NEV companies has advanced at a fast rate, and the amount of components per vehicle is increasing. In the international market, the Company has engaged in full-on cooperation with some US innovative car makers such as s RIVIAN and LUCID, technology-intensive companies, and traditional car makers such as FORD, GM, and FCA. The advancement of the product platform strategy and the improvement of the market acceptance of the new marketing pattern have led to a rapid growth of new orders placed to the Company this year, which in turn boosts the sustainable fast development in future. The company-specific IBS project, EPS project, air suspension project, thermal management project, and cabin comfort project have been designated as stable supplies to FAW, Geely, Huawei, Jinkang, Lixiang, BYD, Xiaomi, Hycan, and HiPhi, which in turn paves the way for long-term development. (2) R&D and innovation. During the reporting period, the Company pooled R&D investments, allocated extra resources, held the leading edge in R&D, and expanded product lines. Owing to continuous efforts in R&D and innovation, the Company currently owns eight product series: automobile NVH Vibration Control system, interior and exterior trim system, lightweight body, cabin comfort components, thermal management system, chassis system, air suspension system, intelligent driving system, the amount of components per vehicle is approximnately RMB 30,000, which paves the way for attaining the goal of building a one-hundred-billion-level enterprise. In addition to the automotive sector, the company is deploying resources to the robot industry. It is estimated that the global workforce is about 3.45 billion. Provided that the humanoid robots is RMB 250,000 per set, support if 11.6% of the workers are replaced by robots, the global market for humanoid robots c is up to the level of RMB 100 trillion. Motion actuator is considered as one of the critical components of robot. A humanoid robot is required to various actions of humans, so many motion actuators are needed. The motion actuators fabricated by the Company consist of motors, electric control and reducing mechanisms. The samples are also accepted by customers, suggesting an ample potential of subsequent development. Owing to the corporate culture upholding R&D and innovation, the world's leading R&D and testing apparatuses purchased at high prices, elite R&D team, well-established R&D system, and the management practice that stresses safe play instead of rushing for success, the product R&D capabilities further enhance. From product R&D to system R&D and fundamental research, from mechanical capabilities to electrical control capabilities and software capabilities, the Company has honed impressive R&D capabilities, obtained many patents and intellectual property rights, and demonsrated the power to broaden product lines, which in turn paves the way for “technology-intensive group”. (3) Capacity landscaping. In consideration of new orders placed, and the projects over the penetration rate of NEV, the Company paces up its capacity landscaping. Efforts are made to accelerate the construction of Hangzhou Bay Phase 4, 5, 6 and 7 and of Chongqing Factory, with covered areas of about 1,400 mu. In addition, the planning and implementation of Tuopu Mexico, Chouxian County (Anhui) Base is also accelerated. In the short run, the investment and construction of these factories are expected to impose a certain cost pressure. In the times of NEV rapid development, even though car makers have some capacity available, the supply chain of parts has not yet kept up with the pace. In this concern, the capacity boost has been weighed and decided as appropriate with impressive forward-looking character. (4) Cost control. During the reporting period, raw materials fluctuated drastically and labor costs increased significantly. The Company scaled up purchasing, ran technological innovation, and performed strict budget control in order to have cost under control. 12 / 272 Ningbo Tuopu Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 With new factories built every year, the overhead and manufacturing expenses are higher in the process of production ramp-up and trial production, the average cost of a facory is around tens of millions of yuan. As a new factory reaches the initial production capacity and comes at the break-even point, it would make a greater contribution to the group’s profit. Many research projects in process and a large number of technical talents led to rapid increase of R&D expenses. The demand for capacity boost resulted in a sharp increase of capital expenditures and higher ratios of depreciation and amortization. In future, the volume production and sales growth are expected to spread R&D cost, capital expenditures and miscellaneous cost, and there is more room for gross margin. (5) Manufacturing upgrade. The Company proceeds digital factory, implements MES management system, enables effective management in respect of quality control, product traceability, lean production, equipment management, and promotes the interconnectivity between the company-wide data and customer data, in order to build an smart factory accredited with Industry 4.0. News factories leverage virtual simulation DFM to conduct full-scale simulations on quality, traceability, automation, visual inspection, energy utilization, carbon emissions to ensure the highest level of product quality and cost, and reduce the durati of volume production to the extent possible. (6) Photovoltaic power generation The company fulfills its corporate responsibilities in ESG, boosts green and low-carbon production, fulfills corporate social responsibilities of energy saving, low-carbon environmental protection, and contributes to "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality". In 2022, the installed photovoltaic capacity is 33.8 MW, the annual power generation will reach 34.55 million kWh, and the carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 34,453 tons a year. In future, efforts will be intensified to broaden the scope of distributed photovoltaic power plants, and a package of initiatives will be taken to scale down carbon emissions and attain the goal of zero-carbon factory step by step. (7) Refinancing The company wrapped up the issuance of convertible bonds this year, raised RMB 2.5 billion and initiated refinancing of RMB 4 billion. In turn, it further enhances the financial strength, seizes the opportunity for developing NEV, and accelerate the development of various projects. With the drastic growth of sales and profits, its own cash flow will cover, even outrun capital expenditures, and subsequent external financing will reduce. II. Industry landscaping during the reporting period It has been reported that about 64.88 million units of passenger cars were sold globally in 2022, down by 0.2% over the previous year; in which, about 23.55 million units were sold in China, up by 9.7% over the previous year.

Annual Report 2022 (8) Structured entities controlled by the Company □Applicable √Non-applicable Ⅵ. Discussion and Analysis on the Future Development of the Company (1) Industry structure and trend √Applicable □Non-applicable The automobile industry is placed in the situation of drastic change and far-reaching changes are taking place in respect of industry, technology, business model, marketing model, profit model and supply chain model. 1. A general consensus as to the revolutionary trend of "electrifying, intelligence, and networking" in the automotive industry has been reached across the globe.And global car makers are working towards this trend. 2. Technology-intensive companies make cars with innovative companies across borders, stirring up a new trend in the automotive industry. Great innovators like Tesla, who are making cars from the point of consumers, as if they were users, have made great success. The past industrial OEM pattern has been broken down, it is time for car makers to pinpoint a new identity and rebuild core competitiveness. 3. China is expected to get an upper hand in the electrification tide. The strategy of swapping market share for technology leads to success in high-speed rail and electrical appliance, but not in traditional vehicles. Now there are some opportunities for NEVs due to the following reasons: First, the Chinese government has been consistently promoting electrification; second, the entrepreneurship and dividend of engineers are now prevailing in China; third, China has technological accumulation and progress in respect of 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and auto piloting. If a new round of cutting-edge technologies can be applied to the automotive industry, the technological monopoly of EU, US and Japanese old-brand car makers will be broken down, Chinese car makers will stand on the same starting line with global leaders and are expected to get an upper hand in the new round of competition. 4. A revolution is projected for China's auto parts industry, which will turn the past scenario of technology hollowing, small scale, and lack of R&D and innovation. Some auto parts giants with global competitiveness are expected to stand out of China’s auto parts industry. (2) Development strategy √Applicable □Non-applicable Amid the great revolution of the automotive industry, the Company is determined to be a technology-intensive large platform supplier with extensive industrial landscape, intensive product technology, impressive R&D capabilities, and a broad range of customer groups, establish Tier 0.5 cooperation with customers, lead the revolution of the relations between car makers and auto parts 37 / 272 Ningbo Tuopu Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 suppliers, strive to be a one-hundred-billion-level giant in China’s auto parts industry and a world-class auto parts supplier, empower the development of NEV industry, and contribute to attaining the goal of “Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality”. 1. Platform strategy. Now the Company owns 8 product lines: Automobile Vibration Control System,Interior & Exterior System,Chasiss Lightweight System,Cabin Comfort System,Thermal Management System,Chassis System,Air Suspension System,Intelligent Braking System. The unit price of components per vehicle is about 30,000 and these product lines are accessible to enormous potentials of expansion.The Company is also developing robot motion actuators, as it identifies an enormous market potential. 2. Technology strategy. The Company adheres to R&D and innovation, enhances its R&D capabilities of mechanics, electronic control, software and chassis tuning, increases the technology-intensive level of products, addresses the industry-wide “bottlenecking” technical issue, and make own contribution to the industrial development. 3. Intelligent manufacturing strategy. The Company is intensifying the efforts to implement the digital factory strategy, improving the quality control level, process capability, automation and value stream analysis capability through virtual simulation, and endeavoring to change the international impression on “Made in China”. Its geographical location in Qianwan New Area Industrial Park witnesses the rise of “Wisdom in China”. First, many product types essentially covering all product lines; second, a wide range of processes including stamping, forging, HP die casting, LP casting, differential pressure casting, extrusion casting, injection molding, die pressing, precision machining, welding, painting, assembling; third, with state-of-the-art equipment, many sorts of domestic advanced equipment and automated production lines are densely distributed; fourth, access to leading manufacturing management practice, a wide array of advanced manufacturing and management tools such as AGVs and digital Kanban are put into efficient use; fifth, with products tailored for international and domestic markets. Despite with the sharp rise of tariffs and international freight rates, the international competitiveness of “Made in China” are highlighted. With sufficient orders, busy production activities and trucks coming in and out take on a thriving image, leaving an impression of the rise of China as a great power and the national industry upgrade. 4. T0.5 grade market strategy. Capitalizing on the composite strengths of platform-based enterprise product line, R&D and QSTP (quality, service, technology, cost), the Company strives to build a new Tier0.5 business pattern and increase the amount of components per vehicle. With a definitive strategic goal in mind, the Company adheres to the path of in-house development and M&A cases. Upholding the principle of “in-house startups”, the Company does not give up any opportunities for value-added M&A cases. Especially after 2025, it is projected that many enterprises will run into trouble due to slow-paced transition, the Company may embrace a lot of M&A opportunities, which in turn promotes its rapid expansion. (3)Business plan √Applicable □Non-applicable In 2023, the Company is anticipated to exploit the market, speed up the mass production project, improve the management level, control cost, drive the rapid development, and prepare for attaining the medium-term strategic goal in alignment with the predefined strategy. 38 / 272 Ningbo Tuopu Group Co., Ltd. Annual Report 2022 1. Sales and market. Relying on the composite advantages of the platform-based enterprise and adhering to Tier0.5 cooperation, the Company broadens the sphere of strategic cooperation and drives on the synchronized development lane in reliance of coordinated product lines. For the moment, new opportunities are arising out of the transition of international auto parts industry, the Company is expected to pace up the international market exploitation this year. 2. New project development. R&D efforts will be intensified to bring all product lines and projects into reality. In this year, automotive electronic products qualified for experimental verifications and road tests, and drove to the harvesting stage of volume production across the board. 3. Capacity landscaping. It is scheduled to complete the construction of about 1,000 mu of land in Phase 8 and 9 of factories based in Qianwan New Area, Chongqing, Changxing, and Xinqiao, Anhui this year. The domestic capacity deployment has virtually wrapped up and subsequent projects will enter the harvesting period step by step. The penetration rate of electric vehicles in North America and Europe is relatively low, foreign car makers are rushing the transition to NEVs, foreign auto parts manufactuers are less willing to invest, and the transition pace is slow, so it is unlikely to fulfill the urgent needs of NEV transition. Enormous market opportunities arising out of the international market, and the receipt of surging new orders, motivate the Company to pool investments in Mexico. The Phase 1 construction of 220 mu will be accelerated and it is expected that the equipment will be installed at the end of the year. In future, the Company plans to build a 1000-mu intelligent manufacturing industrial park modeled after the Qianwan New Area in line with the order needs. Tuopu Poland is also scheduled to expand capacity in order to fulfill the needs of its customers for capacity boost. To attain the profitability of international expansion, the Company has performed the following analyses and preparations: on the one hand, the resources of NEV auto parts in the current international market are scarce, which means reasonable prices can be guaranteed. On the other hand, the Company has prepared well for: (1) making the facilities more automated, increasing the output per capita, reducing labor forces and relieving managmenet pressure; (2) forming an expedition team, engaging experienced management, process and some technical specialists in the project implementation, making sure that the project will be put into operation on schedule and designated quality; (3) integrating the industrial chain to address the short supply of production materials in the international market; (4) linking and integrating management information systems for the sake of controlled and compliant activities. 4. Cost control. Efforts will be made to promote the budget control system and lean production system for cost cut-down.Specific management will be available for new factories to put production into operation and transit from loss to profit as soon as practicable. 5. Intelligent manufacturing. Efforts will be continued to boost the construction of digital benchmark factories. And the full-scale volume production of automotive electronics will be realized.In addition, other works undertaken by the Company, including quality control, lean production, system innovation, are pushed forward.
