(I) Focusing on Core Business and Strengthening Advantages to Enhance the
Company's Value Creation Ability
In 2024 CRSC focused on enhancing core functions and improving core competitiveness. We comprehensively
deepened reforms proactively adjusted our business structure and leveraged our advantages in intelligent
control technology. Despite an approximate 12% decline in operating income we maintained strong profitability
and achieved our goal of steady growth in economic benefits as scheduled. Our net profit reached RMB4.069
billion a year-on-year increase of 1.35%. The structure of our operating income continued to optimize providing
important support for future increases in market valuation. Return on net assets was 7.34% a year-on-year
decrease of 0.2 percentage points. Per capita labor productivity reached RMB646100 and the operating cash
ratio was 16.04 representing a year-on-year increase.First we will maintain our leading edge by strengthening innovation and expanding our market presence.In 2024 based on our assessment of the current market environment and competitive landscape for rail transit
new construction renovation and reconstruction and operation and maintenance we implemented seven major
business measures. These included enhancing internal driving forces constructing a large-scale operation
pattern optimizing our business layout stabilizing and enhancing the new construction market vigorously
expanding within the existing market prudently responding to downward markets and actively laying out plans
for emerging markets. The total value of new external contracts signed throughout the year reached RMB50.069
billion. Contracts within the rail transit field reached RMB41.562 billion accounting for 83.01% of the total value

in key technologies such as intelligent operation planning and automated control of global operations
propelling marshalling yard management towards new heights of intelligence and automation. Capitalizing
on our core "intelligent control" technology and focusing on low-altitude airspace management CRSC has
successfully developed an Intelligent Low-altitude Airspace Management and Control System. This system has
been selected as one of the National Development and Reform Commission's "Top 100 Projects." We have also
proposed a "one tower one city" communication technology solution and are exploring the development of an
unmanned aerial vehicle detection and countermeasure system. Additionally we have developed our air traffic
control surveillance protection system; implemented demonstration projects such as the Nujiang high mountain
agricultural transportation project Hefei industrial inspection project and Chongqing subway inspection project
and have won the bid of the Nan'an low-altitude control project. These achievements demonstrate that the "three
industries and one ecology" industrial structure of the low-altitude economy is beginning to take shape.Third we will strengthen the control of cost expenses and accounts receivable. This involves reinforcing
strict budget constraints rigorously controlling cost expenditures in accordance with the budget and
quantitatively analyzing general management expenses such as office meeting and business entertainment
expenses as well as non-production expenditures. We will continue to promote cost reduction and efficiency
enhancement increasing efforts to reduce costs and save expenditures across the entire industrial chain
and value chain. By leveraging digital and intelligent means we will strengthen cost benchmarking for all
employees elements and throughout the entire life cycle addressing management shortcomings. To further
enhance efficiency we have proposed 16 measures focused on reducing costs and expenses and addressing
long-term accounts receivable. These measures will ensure strict control over all cost expenditures.Fourth we enhanced lean financial management to improve capital efficiency. By leveraging the finance
company platform we achieved an 85% concentration of funds across all categories saving over RMB300
million in capital costs throughout the year. This accomplishment earned us the "Excellent Unit in Accounting
Statement Submission in 2023" award from the People's Bank of China. We also improved our treasury system
strengthening full-process fund management establishing a fund monitoring and risk early warning system and
adding a function for clearing "triangular debts." These efforts resulted in our treasury construction receiving
the prestigious "Compass Award" for benchmark enterprises. Furthermore we promoted the development of
a financial sharing center and the integration of "industry finance taxation capital and bills" to create an
intelligent financial system. Our financial sharing and industry-finance integration project was recognized as a
"Typical Case of Financial Supervision Digital Transformation of the Year" and received both the "2024 Digital
Economy Innovation Excellent Case" award from Xinhua News Agency and the "Dingxin Cup" National Digital
Transformation Application Excellent Case award.
