For the full year, net profit increased by 24% year-on-year, with profit attributable to shareholders reaching HK$23.8 billion, making it a main force among central state-owned enterprises in maintaining growth. In 2015, China's economy officially entered the 'new normal': GDP growth shifted from high speed to medium-high speed (6.9%), fixed asset investment growth slowed, and imports and exports declined year-on-year.

**_Introduction:_** _Facing the dual challenges of a slowing macroeconomy and increased overseas market volatility, China Resources Group implemented a series of proactive measures in 2015 to steadily improve economic efficiency and overall strength, with improvements in cash flow, debt, and other financial indicators. For the full year, **net profit increased by 24% year-on-year, with profit attributable to shareholders reaching HK$23.8 billion, making it a main force among central state-owned enterprises in maintaining growth.**_

In 2015, China's economy officially entered the 'new normal': GDP growth shifted from high speed to medium-high speed (6.9%), fixed asset investment growth slowed, and imports and exports declined year-on-year. Facing various unfavorable factors at home and abroad, China Resources Group actively adjusted its strategies. Against the backdrop of slowing overall revenue growth, **it strived to enhance profitability and timely disposed of a number of non-core and inefficient assets, ensuring the continued healthy development of overall performance.**

Benefiting from factors such as **lower power generation costs due to the persistently sluggish coal market and higher gross margins in the real estate industry**, the Group's net profit grew significantly in 2015.

Recurring EBIT and net profit growth rates were higher than revenue levels, indicating that the Group's **profitability** was further enhanced and efficiency further improved. In addition, the Group timely disposed of non-core assets such as _Huatai Insurance equity and Walmart equity_, generating a total of **HK$5.9 billion in pre-tax gains**.

Global economic recovery is unstable, and uncertainties in financial markets have increased. 'Cash is king' is the only way to remain invincible. In 2015, China Resources Group recorded **a 58% year-on-year increase in net operating cash inflow!** Back in China, the investment-driven growth model is unsustainable. In line with the trend of economic transformation, **the Group cautiously controlled capital expenditure**, reducing it by nearly 20% compared to 2014.

China Resources Group adheres to the rational allocation of resources, optimizes its asset portfolio, and **strengthens, solidifies, and expands its main businesses**. Among them, the power, property, and gas segments together account for approximately 70% of the Group's total invested capital.

The Group's overall capital structure remains stable, operating profitability has improved compared to the previous year, the average cost of interest-bearing debt has decreased, and the return on invested capital has increased. **It is worth mentioning that, due to its headquarters in Hong Kong, China Resources Group has benefited for many years from lower overseas financing costs; however, with the Fed's rate hikes and mainland China's rate cuts, as well as the depreciation of the RMB exchange rate, the financing environment has reversed. The Group promptly adjusted its debt structure through various effective means to reduce comprehensive financing costs.**

Looking at the whole year, China Resources Group's total profit and profit growth rate in 2015 ranked among the forefront of central state-owned enterprises, **making it a main force in maintaining growth among central enterprises.**

In 2016, the macroeconomy still faces downward pressure. The central government proposed five major economic tasks: 'cutting overcapacity, reducing inventory, deleveraging, lowering costs, and strengthening weak links', i.e., **'cutting overcapacity, reducing inventory, deleveraging, lowering costs, and strengthening weak links'**, and deepening **supply-side** reforms.

Based on its actual situation, China Resources Group proposed to do well in eight major tasks: **'industrial development, capital operation, overseas expansion, +internet, deepening reforms, strengthening internal controls, solidifying party building, and fulfilling responsibilities.'** It will repay shareholders' trust and support with practical actions.
