II. Industry Analysis During the Reporting Period

1. Analysis of the Industry's Operating Conditions

In the first half of 2026, geopolitical uncertainty continued to escalate, macroeconomic volatility intensified significantly, and the stability of the bulk commodity supply chain came under mounting pressure. Guided by the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan, industries associated with China’s new quality productive forces continued to grow rapidly, while the overall macro economy remained stable. However, the recovery in end-market demand remained relatively weak, domestic and overseas demand for manufactured products diverged, and supply chain enterprises faced increasing pressure on profitability.

Against a backdrop of mounting operating pressures and structural transformation across the industry, leading enterprises continued to evolve toward diversified global operations and higher value-added industrial supply chain services. By leveraging digitalization and AI applications, they strengthened operational resilience and fostered new sources of profitability. Amid the restructuring of global industrial supply chains and the transformation of China’s domestic industrial structure, these enterprises sought to capitalize on structural growth opportunities, build core competitive advantages that support sustainable, high-quality long-term development, and strengthen their resilience for future growth.

2. Industry Development Trends

(1) Industry Reshaping: Rising Industry Concentration

Global economic and geopolitical uncertainties have increased operating challenges across the industry, while tighter regulatory compliance requirements in China have accelerated the exit of smaller market participants. Leading enterprises have enhanced their resilience through counter-cyclical expansion through diversified and synergistic business development, continuously enhancing their upstream and downstream channel networks and strengthening their capabilities in resource control, customer retention, service enhancement and risk management. As a result, leading enterprises have continued to increase their market share. Measured by cargo volume, the CR5¹ market share² of China’s bulk commodity supply chain industry increased from 4.81% in 2021 to 6.24% in 2025. Despite the industry’s fragmented market structure, the trend toward greater market concentration among leading enterprises is clear and well established.

(2) Model Upgrading: Deepening Full-Industry-Chain Operations

As the competitive landscape continues to evolve, the focus of market competition is shifting from capabilities in individual segments toward comprehensive competition across the entire value chain. Leading enterprises are strengthening their upstream resource presence, expanding into midstream processing, and extending downstream into end-consumer markets, while complementing these efforts with integrated services and industrial investment. By fostering synergies across multiple business segments, they are deepening full-industry-chain operations, enhancing end-to-end service capabilities and customer stickiness, diversifying their earnings mix, and strengthening the drivers of sustainable growth.

VII. Potential Risks

1. Macroeconomic and Commodity Price Volatility Risks

The world is undergoing accelerated changes unseen in a century, with an increasingly complex and challenging external environment. Unilateralism and protectionism are intensifying, the multilateral trading system is facing increasing constraints, tariff barriers are rising, and geopolitical tensions remain elevated. Global industrial and supply chains are exposed to multiple risk shocks, while international commodity markets continue to experience significant price volatility. The Company’s industry is closely linked to domestic and global macroeconomic conditions; therefore, macroeconomic fluctuations may, to a certain extent, affect its operating performance.

Response Strategies: The Company will continue to strengthen its price risk management framework. At the business model level, it will further deepen full-industry-chain operations to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations at individual stages of the value chain. At the mechanism level, it will strengthen monitoring and analysis of industry cycles, continuously refine its bulk commodity price forecasting models, and provide timely early warnings in response to changes in the external environment. At the system level, the Company will enhance its ability to identify risks in a timely manner and further leverage hedging instruments.

2. Operational Management Risks

While China’s economy maintains a long-term positive trajectory, the foundation of economic recovery remains unstable, with insufficient effective demand—particularly weak consumption—and operational difficulties faced by certain enterprises. Industrial chain clients are encountering significant business challenges, exposing the Company to risks related to customer credit management, business model, price volatility, and cargo rights control.

Response Strategies: The Company will further enhance its digital-intelligence-enabled operational management system and strengthen the separation of three key rights—business operations, financial management, and logistics and cargo ownership. Through a combination of measures—including increasing the proportion of manufacturing customers and reducing customer concentration from the customer perspective, optimizing its commodity mix, upgrading its business models, and strengthening its risk management framework—the Company will effectively manage operational risks.

To address customer credit risks, the Company will continue to strengthen its full-lifecycle customer and counterparty management capabilities based on a risk management philosophy centered on controllable and manageable risks. It will effectively manage customer concentration, establish appropriate management thresholds and indicators, leverage AI to enable dynamic monitoring of customers and counterparties, and continuously improve its customer credit risk management system.

3. Risks in International Expansion

The Company regards internationalization as one of its key development strategies and conducts business with customers and counterparties across more than 140 countries and regions. Policies and regulations in different countries and regions remain subject to uncertainties and changes in areas including trade access, foreign exchange controls, tax regulation, local operations, resource development and environmental compliance. In addition, fluctuations in international shipping markets and foreign exchange rates, as well as changes in social security conditions in certain regions, may have an impact on the Company’s overseas business expansion, supply chain stability and operating performance.

Response Strategies: Through its International Business Division, the Company will continue to improve its global operating framework, establish localized operating platforms and professional teams in key regions, strengthen monitoring and analysis of political, economic, legal, regulatory and industry policy developments in key countries and regions, improve its overseas compliance framework, and establish risk early-warning and emergency response mechanisms for international operations. Meanwhile, the Company will continue to optimize its global resource and market footprint, diversify its sources of procurement, sales markets and logistics routes, and enhance supply chain resilience. In addition, the Company will strengthen its ability to withstand risks associated with international operations by utilizing foreign exchange and price risk management instruments, strengthening credit risk management and optimizing the allocation of financial resources.
