Anton Oilfield Services Group Provides Earnings Guidance for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 Anton Oilfield Services Group provided earnings guidance for the year ended 31 December 2025. For the year, the company expects that the Group's profit attributable to equity holders for the year ended 31 December 2025, will range from approximately RMB 360.0 million to RMB 380.0 million, representing a significant increase of between 48.4% and 56.6% compared to the profit attributable to equity holders of approximately RMB 242.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The growth is mainly attributable to:(i) the continued expansion of the Group's global operations and the ongoing deepening of the Amoeba management model, which led to the continued expansion of the Group's business scale and sustained growth in both revenue and gross profit; (ii) the full repayment of the Group's U.S. dollar-denominated bonds upon maturity in January 2025, resulting in a substantial decrease in finance costs compared to the same period last year.

Anton Oilfield Services Group to Report Fiscal Year 2025 Results on Mar 30, 2026 Anton Oilfield Services Group announced that they will report fiscal year 2025 results on Mar 30, 2026 New Risk • Jan 28
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Hong Kong stocks, typically moving 9.6% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.4% net profit margin). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jan 22

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 4.4% Last year net profit margin: 6.5% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.4% net profit margin). New Risk • Oct 06
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has an unstable dividend paying track record. The dividend has had an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Dividend yield: 2.3% This is considered a minor risk. If the company has cut or reduced its dividend in the past, it may be a sign that the underlying business is too cyclical to consistently maintain or grow the dividend over the long-term. It may also indicate the company prioritizes other outcomes instead of maintaining the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Oct 06

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 22% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk.
