Coal Energy Company Limited Coal Energy Company Limited Coal Energy Company Limited Coal Energy Company Limited We all drive of efficiency gain of existing assets and transform incremental assets practice. The two integration plus model build a two hedging mechanism against the downward risk of the external market for own coal and against future Shanghai Energy will leverage its three major bases in Jiangsu, will focus on the Anhui Jiangxi region, aiming to create a 100 billion yuan level energy supply industrial cluster in East China. It will promote coal development of coal, thermal, and renewable power with seven major industrial bases in Huainan, Fuyang, Boizhou, Chuzhou, Lu'an, Xuancheng, and Jiangxi, laying a solid foundation for high-quality development. China Coal will leverage the synergy of its listed companies to enhance high-end energy supply and service guarantee capabilities, striving to become a highly competitive integrated energy player by 2030 and by 2035, a world-class energy company with multi-energy complementarity, green and low-carbon exemplary leadership and modern governance. Industry Analysis China's development is characterized by strategic opportunities and risks with increasing uncertainties. The company's production, operation, reform, and development will face a complex external environment. In macroeconomy, the world is undergoing accelerated changes with with increasingly complex and intense great power competition affecting domestic development. At the same time, China has mismatched supply and demand and many risks and hidden dangers in key areas. However, the fundamentals supporting China's long-term positive economic outlook, including a stable economic foundation, numerous advantages, strong resilience, and great potential, remain unchanged. Supported by serious macro policies, especially the 15th Five-Year Plan, the development has great prospects. in terms of industry operation with profound adjustments in a global energy landscape and parallel construction of a new energy system. The green and low-carbon transition is a long-term process. Ensuring energy security is essential for stable economic and social development, and coal's role as a primary energy source and a safety net is more prominent. Considering international geopolitical tension, the supply and demand China's coal market in 2026 is expected to be tight. The LTA mechanism for ensuring the supply of thermal coal will still be an anchor, and the spot price of coal is likely to rise with more fluctuations. Looking into the 15th five-year period, we are still in strategic window of opportunity. The foundational role of coal and thermal power will be strengthened. A new power system with renewable as the mainstay is being accelerated. Technological and industrial innovation is integrating. The unified national market is advancing. This period presents both opportunities and challenges, as well as pressures and drivers. Facing this new landscape, China coal possesses the following advantages. First, resource and scale. Abundant coal resources and board production capacity, strong internal synergies, a solid development foundation, and considerable industry influence. Second, value creation advantage. Lean management has been implemented with notable cost reduction efficiency gains and economic benefits, and our operational performance consistently ranks among the top of the central enterprises. Third, industrial chain synergy. We continue to optimize our industrial structure, integrating coal, coal chemicals, renewables with more resilience. Fourth, innovation and mechanism. Investment in technology continues to grow. The science and innovation system is refined, giving us more momentum. Fourth section, outlook for 2022. Coal Energy Company Limited Coal Energy Company Limited Coal Energy Company Limited Achieving a good start for the 15th five-year plan. First, we will scientifically optimize production organization, develop potential and enhance efficiency.
