1II. Industry Analysis During the Reporting Period
1. Analysis of the Industry’s Operating Conditions
In the first half of 2025 confronted with rapidly shifting external dynamics China accelerated the
implementation of more proactive counter-cyclical policies. As a result major economic indicators
exceeded expectations new quality productive forces continued to strengthen and the overall
economy remained stable. Nevertheless the global macroeconomic environment remained
complex and challenging. Changes in tariff policies persistent geopolitical conflicts diverging
monetary policy paths among major economies and fundamental adjustments in global trade
patterns have all contributed to heightened uncertainty and volatility across the bulk commodity
supply chain sector.As traditional industries such as real estate and infrastructure slowed their demand-driving effect
on raw materials such as steel cement and non-ferrous metals weakened. Meanwhile emerging
industries such as new energy and advanced manufacturing have yet to generate sufficient
additional demand for bulk commodities. Consequently the overall market was characterized by
“stable growth with weak recovery”. In parallel the “de-bubbling” effect driven by domestic
“Anti-Involution” orientation (aimed at curbing hyper-competition) of domestic industrial chains
has been steering the commodity manufacturing sector away from extensive expansion toward
higher-quality growth. This shift while echoing supply-side structural reforms also introduces
new variables into the industry’s rebalancing of supply and demand.In summary the bulk commodity supply chain industry in the first half of the year remained
confronted with multiple challenges: (1) tariff adjustments reshaped global trade flows of certain
bulk commodities disrupting the previously stable global supply chain system; (2) heightened
geopolitical uncertainty amplified risks while frequent monetary policy adjustments by major
economies posed unprecedented external shocks; (3) domestic manufacturing faced dual pressures
from supply-demand mismatches and rising external demand uncertainty both of which have been
exerting continuous pressure on the operations of supply chain enterprises.In response to complex circumstances marked by multiple overlapping external uncertainties
leading bulk commodity supply chain enterprises accelerated transformation efforts and
strengthened systemic risk resilience. On one hand they intensified monitoring and assessment of
2macroeconomic conditions international policy and industrial trends establishing flexible global
supply chain systems and diversified sourcing channels. This reduced dependence on single
countries or markets and enhanced overall supply chain resilience. On the other hand in light of
evolving demand patterns leading enterprises proactively expanded into emerging sectors such as
new energy new materials and green low-carbon industries driving the transition of traditionalresource-oriented businesses into integrated platforms combining “resources + technology +services” unleashing greater developmental vitality. In addition they accelerated digital and
intelligent transformation through industrial chain collaboration information-based platforms and
smart logistics deployment achieving cost control efficiency improvements and rapid response
capabilities. Furthermore they strengthened mechanisms for managing exchange rate price and
policy risks employing tools such as hedging insurance instruments and long-term fixed-price
agreements to mitigate operational impacts caused by external volatility and enhance operational
stability. Overall top-tier bulk commodity supply chain enterprises continued upgrading toward
higher efficiency greater value creation and deeper globalization seizing opportunities amid
global competition and market adjustments while building sustainable moats for high-quality
development.
2. Industry Development Trends
(1) Industry Chain Restructuring Drives Further Consolidation and Full-Chain
Integration among Supply Chain Leaders
Surging volatility in global commodity prices coupled with cyclical and structural headwinds
across select industries has heightened operational pressure on bulk commodity supply chain
players. Top-tier companies leveraging strengths in resource access value-added services and
risk control are actively expanding their channel networks and capturing greater market share
showcasing strong counter-cyclical expansion capacity. On a volume basis the CR51 market
share2 of China’s bulk commodity supply chain industry rose from 4.81% in 2021 to an estimated
5.42% in 2024 reflecting a pronounced market leader effect and rising market concentration.

Xiangyu Co. Ltd. Zheshang Development Group Co. Ltd..
2 the CR5 market share = the CR5 business scale/ the scale of China’s bulk supply chain market scale where the CR5 business
scale represents the combined operating (or sales) volume of the supply chain segments of the CR5 companies and the scale of
China’s bulk supply chain market scale is the sum of the domestic production and import volumes of major bulk commodities.
3Meanwhile leading commodity enterprises are accelerating their transformation from traditional
“trading intermediaries” into “full-chain service providers”. While consolidating their dominance
in distribution they are progressively extending upstream into resource acquisition expanding
midstream processing and exploring opportunities to engage with downstream consumer
segments thereby broadening operational boundaries deepening industry chain involvement and
strengthening control across the full chain.Figure 1:Operating Volume and Market Share of CR5 Figure 2:XIANGYU’s Operating Volume and Market
in China’s Bulk Supply Chain Industry Share in China's Bulk Supply Chain Industry
(2) Accelerating Iteration of Manufacturing Customer Demand Spurs
Integrated Full-Chain Supply Chain Services
Against the backdrop of an ongoing nationwide shift to “Anti-Involution” within domestic
industrial chains manufacturing clients are shifting from scale-driven competition over existing
market share toward pursuing value breakthroughs driven by quality and efficiency. This transition
is leading to significantly higher demands for integrated supply chain services. In response bulk
supply chain enterprises are accelerating their transformation from traditional traders to integrated
service providers. They are continuously enhancing their capabilities in bundled supply chain
coordination channel integration and customized services which makes the advantages of the
"trade-logistics linkage" model increasingly evident. Furthermore leading enterprises are
enhancing their overall service efficiency and customer loyalty by strengthening mid-to-upstream
resource integration and boosting collaboration in mid-to-downstream segments-including
logistics warehousing and financial services. As a result integrated full-chain multi-category
supply chain service systems are increasingly well established providing robust support for the
scale expansion and sustained profitability of leading enterprises.
(3) Accelerating Restructuring of Global Manufacturing Capacity and
4International Expansion Opens a “Second Growth Curve” for the Industry
Driven by geopolitical disruptions global manufacturing capacity is undergoing accelerated
regional restructuring. As Chinese manufacturing enterprises are increasingly expanding into Belt
and Road Initiative countries demand for overseas raw material sourcing logistics services and
cross-border financial services is rising. In response bulk supply chain enterprises are seizing
opportunities to connect global resources and markets by accelerating the establishment of
overseas warehousing networks regional logistics centers and international trade platforms while
also building global talent systems and localized operational capabilities. Against the backdrop of
rising global geopolitical risks the demand for supply chain security and resilience has become
increasingly urgent than ever. Supply chain enterprises with comprehensive overseas service
capabilities are expected to stand out as front-runners. Furthermore industry chain investments in
critical resources key logistics nodes and overseas processing are expected to propel these
enterprises into a new phase of cross-cycle growth.
(4) Rising Global Tariff Uncertainty Shakes the Commodity Industry While
Monetary Policy Shifts Could Trigger a Liquidity Turning Point
The commodity industry currently faces interrelated policy and market uncertainties with rising
cross-border transaction costs constraints on global investment and trade and significantly
increased commodity price volatility. Under the combined effect of a more dovish U.S. Federal
Reserve emphasizing a data-driven approach and policy flexibility and China’s proactive
domestic policies liquidity conditions are expected to improve. This should ease high financing
costs and tight liquidity challenges for supply chain enterprises providing external support for
industry recovery and renewed growth.
(5) Deepening Digital and Intelligent Infrastructure Enhances Efficiency and
Extends the Value Chain in the Industry
With rising requirements for efficiency and security in bulk commodity circulation digitally
intelligent supply chain upgrades have become a key driver for reshaping enterprisecompetitiveness. According to the “Special Action Plan for Accelerating the Development ofDigital and Intelligent Supply Chains (2025)” jointly issued by eight ministries including the
Ministry of Commerce by 2030 a deeply embedded intelligent efficient and autonomously
controlled digital supply chain system will be established in key industries and critical sectors.
5Supported by favorable policies leading enterprises are setting up AI-enabled supply chain
application platforms and deepening AI integration into high-level applications such as digitally
intelligent supply chain solutions smart risk control and industry chain collaboration.Concurrently they are accelerating the digitalization of logistics systems interconnection of
multimodal transport platforms and platform-based development of supply chain finance systems.AI and other technologies are becoming core drivers of supply chain resilience and value creation
increasingly embedded in critical areas including collaborative supply chain management risk
control systems contract execution and logistics monitoring thereby enabling integrated
management of commercial logistical informational and financial flows.III. Business Analysis During the Reporting Period

strengthened partnerships with key clients. Business volumes on the China–Indonesia and
China–Vietnam routes grew by over 15% and 50% year-on-year respectively while a new Brazil
route was also launched. The Company deepened its engagement with industry-chain clients and
strengthened internal coordination focusing on segments such as new energy and metal minerals
to build a professional logistics service system and facilitate the onboarding of strategic clients
and new business. In the aluminum industry logistics business the Company focused on overseas
advantageous mines and developing core factory clients establishing a full-chain international
logistics channel from source to domestic sales regions achieving revenue growth of over 400%.As aluminum industry logistics business has been still in its initial stage the gross margin
remained volatile; however it is expected to gradually stabilize and improve as the business
structure matures.In railway logistics the Company actively expanded new routes and service categories reinforced
“head-to-head” strategic cooperation with major industrial clients and embedded railway logistics
services into corporate supply chains by tapping into upstream and downstream logistics demand.As a result business volume grew by over 20% year-on-year. Efficiency was enhanced through
optimized allocation of logistics resources lean management and cost control. In addition
profitability improved through developed operations at asset-heavy terminals and higher turnover
efficiency of self-owned vehicles and containers.Agricultural logistics however experienced a decline in gross profit and gross margin due to
business structure adjustments and lower average warehouse utilization. To address this the
Company is actively expanding provincial reserves temporary reserves and entrusted storage
services to enhance warehouse capacity utilization.
(3) Production & Manufacturing
After establishing a service advantage throughout the industry chain the Company strategically
15ventured into the value-added production and manufacturing sector. This move resulted in the

Shipbuilding
Note:
a. The manufacturing segment includes shipbuilding beneficiation and oil processing. The business entity of
shipbuilding sector is the Company's subsidiary Nantong Xiangyu Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering.b. In the shipbuilding segment exchange rate fluctuations of the U.S. dollar led to a decline in reported gross
profit margin. However by using financial instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risks the Company
achieved a year-on-year increase in actual hedged gross profit margin.The shipbuilding segment overcame fluctuations in the international ship market consolidated its
leading position in core vessel types and optimized and upgraded its product portfolio. Through
lean production management and improved production line configuration the segment achieved
industry-leading efficiency in the construction of bulk carriers and chemical tankers significantly
shortening dock and slipway cycles. In the first half of the year 15 new orders were signed
bringing the backlog to 91 vessels including the first order from a renowned international
shipowner for a 210000 DWT large bulk carrier reflecting notable progress in the mid-to-large
vessel market.The year-on-year decline in revenue was primarily due to the transfer of certain orders to the
Qidong new shipyard which was still in its ramp-up phase during the first half resulting in lower
overall completions compared with the same period last year. With the Qidong shipyard reaching
full production capacity Nantong Xiangyu Marine Equipment is expected to see comprehensive
improvements in both capacity and profitability in the second half of the year.
4. International Business Progress in H1 2025
16In the commodity operations the Company achieved approximately 47 million tons in import
export and re-export volumes in the first half with a total value of around USD 13.2 billion
representing a year-on-year increase of 7%. The aluminum supply chain accelerated its global
expansion continuing to build logistics capabilities in West Africa and actively developing
overseas downstream channels for alumina in India and the UAE. The Company also successfully
participated in the IPO of Nanshan Aluminum International securing high-quality commercial
rights. For the stainless steel supply chain the Company promoted stable long-term agreements
with overseas mines and carried out orderly expansion and operation of mining rights. The oil
supply chain extended upstream resources in South America and West Africa while stabilizing
downstream refineries maintaining steady international growth. In the new energy supply chain
the Company deepened its presence in lithium battery products across Africa South America and
Australia partnering with leading resource-based enterprises in Africa to jointly explore overseas
markets.Regarding commodity logistics the China-Indonesia premium shipping route further strengthened
its market influence with the Sulawesi-China route maintaining the leading market share and
route capabilities gradually being replicated and expanded to emerging markets such as India and
Africa. International container allocation and overseas client development capabilities steadily
improved. In aluminum logistics the Company has built initial end-to-end logistics capabilities
from West African mines to aluminum processing plants. By integrating multimodal transport
capacity and consolidating cargo at both ends it has developed a branded bulk shipping route
connecting the Atlantic and the Far East.
