Report of the Directors

(Including Management Discussion and Analysis)

Being the aorta of the nation's economy, a key infrastructure, a significant project for people's livelihood, the backbone of an integrated transportation system and one of the main means of transportation, the railway is of crucial importance for the nation's economic and social development. Since the State Council of the PRC approved the implementation of the Medium to Long Term Plan for Railway Network Development（《中長期鐵路網規劃》）in 2004, railways in China have experienced exponential development. Currently, on the whole, the tight capacity of the Chinese railways has been alleviated, the bottle neck restriction has been eliminated, and economic and social development needs have been met. However, when benchmarking with the requirements for a new normal of economic developments, other transportation forms and the advanced levels of developed countries, China's railway still faces deficiencies such as incomplete layout, low operational efficiency and rather severe structural conflicts. By the end of 2021, the nationwide railways in operation exceeded 150,000 kilometers; among which, the high-speed railways in operation ran over 40,000 kilometers, indicating the increasingly prominent key role of railways in the modern comprehensive transportation system.

According to the industry statistics released by the National Railway Administration, in the first half of 2022, the railways nationwide had achieved a passenger traffic volume of 0.787 billion people, representing a year-on-year decrease of 42.34%; meanwhile, the outbound freight tonnage had reached 2.481 billion tonnes, representing a year-on-year increase of 4.86%.

It has also operated the Hong Kong Through Train passenger services in cooperation with MTR Corporation Limited, and provided railway operation services for commissioned transportation for other railway companies such as WGPR, GZIR, GSHER, GZR, XSR, GDR, NGR, GGR, PRDIR, MZR, SMR, MSR and GSR.

In the first half of 2022, the operating revenue of the Company was RMB9,491 million, representing a decrease of 1.83% as compared to RMB9,668 million for the same period of last year; among which, revenue from passenger transportation, freight transportation, railway network usage and other transportation-related services, and other businesses were RMB3,128 million, RMB830 million, RMB5,096 million and RMB436 million respectively, accounting for 32.96%, 8.75%, 53.70% and 4.60% of the total revenue respectively; operating expenses amounted to RMB10,520 million, representing an increase of 8.66% as compared to RMB9,682 million for the same period of last year; loss from operations amounted to RMB976 million, turning from profit to loss on a year-on-year basis (profit from operation for the same period last year: RMB50.673 million); consolidated loss attributable to shareholders was RMB765 million, turning from profit to loss on a year-on-year basis (consolidated profit attributable to shareholders for the same period last year: RMB4.277 million).
