New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 2.7% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain 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.

Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited Provides Earnings Guidance for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2025 Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the six months ended 30 June 2025. For the period, the company expects net profit to decrease by 56% to 66%, as compared to the amount of the Net Profit of RMB 1,810.4 million 1 for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The expected decrease in the amount of the Net Profit for 1H2025 is primarily attributable to the following factors: the significant decreases in the average selling prices of the solar glass products as compared to the 1H2024, which were primarily due to the oversupply of the solar glass products that could not be offset by (a) the improved sales volume following the surge in the solar installations in China and (b) the reduction in the cost of raw materials and energy cost; and recognition of impairment loss for certain solar glass production facilities which were either non-operational or undergoing repairs or refurbishment and

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.3% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 1.3% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.6% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • May 02

Earnings per share (EPS) were mostly in line with analyst estimates. Revenue is forecast to grow 10% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 14% growth forecast for the Semiconductor industry in Hong Kong. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 9% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 39% per year, which means it is performing significantly worse than earnings.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.6% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Mar 01

Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited Provides Earnings Guidance for the Year Ending 31 December 2024 Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ending 31 December 2024. For the period, the company expects to decrease by 70% to 80%, as compared to the amount of the Net Profit (1) of RMB 3,843 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. Such decrease in the amount of the Net Profit was primarily due to the following reasons: (1) decrease in the amount of revenue and gross profit generated from the Group's solar glass business because of the imbalance between the market demand and supply of the solar glass products and the corresponding significant decline in the market prices during the six months ending 31 December 2024 as compared to the same period last year; (2) provision for impairment of the solar glass production facilities of the Group which have been suspended operation or are under repairs, refurbishment and replacement; and (3) provision for inventory write-down because of the significant decline in the market prices and hence a decrease in the net realisable value of the Group's inventory of finished and work-in-progress solar glass products.
