3 Proceeds to Boost the Leap and Advancement of Our Principal Business
In September 2021 Times Electric was listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock
Exchange with total proceeds of RMB7.555 billion. Since its listing the Company has used the proceeds to finance projects
such as the “application project of rail transit traction and network technology and system” the“application project on key technologies and system R&D of smart railway bureau and smart urbanrail transit” the “advanced technology R&D application project of new industry” the “R&D andmanufacturing platform construction project of new-type rail engineering machinery” the
“innovative experimental platform construction project” and replenishment of working capital.In 2024 the Company continued to strengthen management of projects financed by the proceeds and the cumulative IPO
proceeds utilized accounted for 81.51% of the total amount. During the implementation process of these projects we
strictly followed the regulations governing management of proceeds to cautiously utilize the proceeds ensuring that the
projects financed by the proceeds progressed smoothly according to relevant plan. Both the innovative experimental
platform construction project and the manufacturing platform construction project of new-type rail engineering machinery
have completed the entire conduction work and have been put in use. Thus we promoted the Company’s principal business
development through the successful implementation of these projects and achieved expected returns from these projects
which enhanced our overall profitability.In 2025 the Company will continue to strengthen management of projects financed by the proceeds and the cumulative
IPO proceeds utilized are expected to account for approximately 92% of the total amount. For the innovative
experimental platform construction project and the manufacturing platform construction project of new-type rail
engineering machinery we will complete the remaining project audit and final accounting acceptance inspection of

4 Enhance Management and Deepen Digital Transformation and Upgrade
Addressing the pain points of Times Electric’s operations in 2024 the Company upheld the business philosophy of
“high-quality operation and efficient management”. We continued to implement “Times Electricdigitalization” and establish a digital transformation path of “identifying a core focus leveraging a set ofdata and integrating a comprehensive system” to continuously stimulate the corporate development
momentum. Firstly the Company focused on “identifying a core focus” targeting the enhancement of operational
capabilities with transformation. Guided by the Company’s strategy and closely aligned with the core focus of
“decomposition and implementation of key business indicators” based on quality cost delivery and other
dimensions the indicators are divided and disintegrated in layers and levels to achieve transparent and effective
management of the entire operational process. Secondly the Company leveraged “a set of data” to foster a shift towards
a data-driven management approach. Utilizing existing information platforms and harnessing the power of big data
technology the Company bridged “information gaps” and established a unified data infrastructure to support theefficient implementation of digital operations across various business domains. Thirdly the Company integrated “asystem” ensuring integration of transformation and digitalization. With the goal of “enhancing both efficiency andeconomics” the Company optimized its management system and consolidated resources to achieve harmonious
development of the “Times Electric digitalization” and improvements in all areas of management.In 2025 we will continue to deepen the digital intelligence transformation and improve business management efficiency.Digital transformation as the inevitable path to high-quality development is a long-term and undisputed task for which we
should focus on improving core business issues to make concrete and deep footprints of digitalization. Efforts will be aligned
with the goals of digital transformation. We will accurately capture the core elements of digital transformation: solve
business pain points enhance management efficiency improve business indicators and accumulate organizational assets.The existing achievements of digitization will be utilized properly. Centering on our core businesses and the enabling and
support processes we should adhere to the use evaluation and improvement of the established business rules and the
information systems in place while leveraging iterative plan-do-check-act (PDCA) optimizations to empower business
improvement. Main battlefields of digitalization will be identified. We will streamline the whole core value processes
including the issue-to-resolution (ITR) process enhance business standardization and digitalization levels build our business
upon processes and run data upon information technology. We will continuously explore further applications of digital
intelligence employing big data and artificial intelligence to empower business analysis and improvement and support our
business decision-making.Persist in Deepening Quality Improvement and
