(Announcement Date: 26 Mar 2025) Business Review - For the year ended December 31, 2024 In 2024, amidst multiple challenges such as increasing uncertainties in the international situation, frequent extreme weather events, and insufficient effective demand, China’s GDP growth reached 5%. In response to opportunities presented by the evolving macro environment, industry transformations, and diverse customer demands, we proactively upgraded our strategy, leveraging intelligent innovations to transition into a multi- value service provider anchored in natural gas. Through a steadfast focus on customer-centricity and intelligent innovation, the Group continuously strengthened safety foundation and enhanced customer satisfaction to drive business upgrades, thereby achieving sustained growth in 2024. Natural Gas Sales Business: Focusing on Customer Demand to Achieve Scale-Driven Profits, Laying a Solid Foundation for the Natural Gas Sales Business In 2024, the implementation of policies such as the Measures for the Administration of Infrastructure and Public Utilities and the Natural Gas Utilisation Policy further propelled the sustained and healthy development of China’s natural gas industry. With the accelerated integration of domestic and international natural gas resources, coupled with heightened market volatility risks, customers’demand for cost efficiency and supply stability has amplified. The Group adheres to a customer-centric approach, expanding its customer base through customer segmentation, lean resource allocation, and intelligent operations, as well as growing profit through sales volume to achieve economies of scale and mutual success with customers. Industry is a major player in energy consumption and carbon emissions, and natural gas plays a critical role in substituting high-carbon energy sources with low-carbon energy sources. We tailored models based on customer profiling, analysing their industries, production processes, energy consumption patterns, and alternative energy options. By leveraging IoT devices, we promptly monitored energy usage and developed a flexible strategy, customising strategies tailored to each enterprise. In 2024, we installed gas appliances with a total daily designed capacity of 12.17 million cubic meters for industrial customers, reaching a cumulative total daily designed capacity of 185 million cubic meters, driving a 5.2% year-on-year growth in industrial gas sales. Within the concessionary area, we capitalised on the government’s“bottled-to-piped-gas conversion”policy;and launched a specialised campaign by using optimised designs, flat-rate pricing, and block-based cluster development to develop 25,000 new commercial customers, bringing the cumulative total to 227,000 commercial customers, with installed gas appliances achieving a total daily designed capacity of 2.93 million cubic meters, thereby bringing the cumulative daily capacity to 31 million cubic meters. This drove a 4.5% year-on-year growth in commercial gas sales. In 2024, we actively responded to downward pressures in the real estate market, and deepened efforts to develop existing households, thereby completing the installation of gas supply facilities for 1,617 thousand households. The cumulative number of household customers reached 31.38 million, significantly strengthening the foundation for value added business.
