Net profit dropped 8.1% YoY to RMB3,262 million. Results were in line with expectations. Gross margin increased.9 ppts YoY to 22.3% while net margin increased.5 ppts YoY to 5.9%. Revenue growth was stagnant in the first 3 quarters of 215 but is expected to rebound in 4Q15. Dispute over the ownership of intellectual property rights between CRRC and China Railway Corporation seems to have been settled. We expect the Company will have a strong recovery of revenue growth starting from 4Q15. We lower the EPS estimates of FY15-17 by 6.9%, 14.5% and 12.4% to RMB.43, RMB.495 and RMB.567, respectively. Although overseas revenue and new contracts are growing, the growth is considered moderate so far, while the synergy brought from the merging of CSR and CNR is yet to be seen.

net profit dropped 8.1% YoY to RMB3,262 million. Results were in line with expectation. CRRC Corporation s 3Q revenue decreased 7.5% YoY to RMB55,54 million. Net profit dropped 8.1% YoY to RMB3,262 million. Results were in line with expectation. Gross margin increased.9 ppts YoY to 22.3% while net margin increased.5 ppts YoY to 5.9%. In the first 9 months of 215, the Company s revenue increased.4% YoY to RMB148,555 million. Net profit increased.2% YoY to RMB7,961 million. Results were in line with expectation. Gross margin improved significantly from 2.6% in to 22.1% in but net margin remained at 5.4%, partly due to a of non-operating income from RMB797 million in to RMB692 million in Revenue growth was stagnant in the first 3 quarters of 215 but is expected to rebound in 4Q15. According to Daily Economic News, CRRC and China Railway Corporation had a dispute over the ownership of intellectual property rights previously held by former Ministry of Railway. The dispute slowed down tenders of stock rolling contracts, especially for HSR related orders, from China Railway Corporation in the 1H15. Nevertheless, with the huge orders coming in starting July, the dispute seemed to be settled. We expect China Railway Corporation will catch up by speeding up tenders of stock rolling contracts in 2H15, implying a strong recovery of revenue growth in 4Q15 forward.

In, administrative expenses dropped.6 ppts QoQ to 9.5% of total revenue, which is in line with expectation. In contrast, selling and marketing expense stayed at 3.5% of total revenue in and, which seemed to contradict with the primary objective of reducing peer competition through the merger. However, we found that the quarterly selling expense indeed fell by 19.2% QoQ to RMB1,948 million in, selling and marketing expenses stayed at 3.5% for the last two quarters was mainly due to the delayed tenders from CRC and dragged down the revenue of. We expect it to decrease in the next few quarters given the aforementioned recovery of revenue growth starts to take effect in 4Q15. 2.9% 3.9% 3.6%3.5%3.5% 3.5% 12% 1 8% 6% 4% 2% 8.6% 9. 9.2% 9.3% 8.8%8.6% 8.5% 8.1% 7.6% 8.1% 8. 7.2% 1.5% 1.1%9.5% Overseas revenue surged 61. YoY to RMB11,124 million in 1H15. The Company benefited from the favourable geopolitical policies including One Belt and One Road and going global initiative of HSR advocated by the Chinese government. With the gradual construction of China-Asia railway( 中 亚 铁 路 ) and Euro-Asia railway( 欧 亚 铁 路 ), the demand for railway equipment will keep on expanding. We expect overseas sales will remain to be a consistent growth driver for the Company. See the last page for disclaimer Page 3 of 6
