Completion of 2021 Target
Benchmarking against the annual target for the 2021 year, for the half year of 2021, we have achieved up to 40.8% of the revenue, 36.4% of gross profit and 75.4% of net profit targets set for the whole of the 2021 year.
Statement from the Chair
We are very encouraged and please to report to our shareholders the respectable net profit from continuing operations for the first half of 2021 which will place us in a good position to achieve our targets for the 2021 year. With further implementation of the policy of the SYDRC to adjust the natural gas prices chargeable to our customers to take effect from September 1, 2021 and the abolishment of certain pipeline connection related service charges to our customers in Sanya, we expect to face more challenges for the 2021 year. We will continue to do our best to take advantage of the lowering of the natural gas price to explore opportunities to expand our natural gas distribution network and expand our footprint in the natural gas grid, continue with our cost control measures and placing more emphasis on the furtherance of our planned development of the integrated smart energy projects and the EV battery swap station business for sustained future growth and enhancement of return to our shareholders.
