Investment Summary

With High-quality Clients in Hand, Xinquan Realized Rapid Business Development

Xinquan has realized mass production of trim products for key independent vehicle manufacturers, such as SAIC, Chang`an, Geely, GAC, BYD and Great Wall, since 2019, and in 2020, it became a supplier to Tesla, and started mass production of trim products for Tesla in 2021 In 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company's operating income rose by 25.3%, 50.6% and 52.2% yoy to RMB4.61 billion, RMB6.95 billion and RMB10.57 billion, respectively, indicating its rapid business development. Tesla, Geely, Chery, Li and BYD were the Company's top five clients in 2023, contributing 22%, 19%, 16%, 9% and 5%, respectively, to the Company's operating income, which is expected to continue to grow at high rates in the future with the constant development of new energy vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla.

Exterior Trim Business Gave Rise to Another Growth Pole

The Company has been planning exterior trim business for long although it focused on the interior trim sector before and exterior trim business contributed little to its operating income. It has become a fixed supplier of the exterior trim products of Chery and Li in recent years, and is going to realize the mass production of such products in 2024, which will be a turning point for the development of its exterior trim business. It is expected that in 2024, 2025 and 2026, the Company will see an operating income of RMB0.9billion, RMB2.5 billion and RMB3.5 billion from its exterior trim business, significantly more than that in past years.e.

It is expected that 0.8 million sets of instrument panel assemblies and 0.4million sets of seat back panels will be put into production by the end of 2024, injecting new impetus into the result's growth. At the same time, the Company further invested 65 million euros to establish a subsidiary in Slovakia and 50 million US dollars (4 million US dollars in California and 46 million US dollars in Texas) to establish a subsidiary in the United States for R&D, manufacturing, and sales, and expansion into overseas markets.
