Key Financials • Revenue slid 16.34% to RMB 8.57 billion, chiefly on lower construction-service income. • Profit attributable to owners climbed 4.52% to RMB 1.52 billion, aided by lower finance costs. • Basic EPS edged down 1.69% to RMB 0.466. • Final cash dividend proposed at RMB 0.297 per share (2024: RMB 0.29), a 2.41% increase and equal to a 60.02% payout of 2025 PRC-GAAP earnings.

Segment Highlights • Expressway operations contributed RMB 4.69 billion revenue (-1.92% y-o-y) and RMB 2.13 billion segment profit (+4.71%), buffered by lower amortisation and financing costs. • New-energy technology revenue fell to RMB 98.71 million (-13.46%), but segment profit grew 31.55% to RMB 39.76 million on stronger charging-service margins. • Transportation services (mainly fuel sales and service-area operations) generated RMB 1.93 billion (-14.77%) with profit down 23.05% to RMB 152.65 million amid weaker refined-oil demand. • Construction services revenue dropped 34.23% to RMB 1.85 billion as major expansion projects neared completion; segment profit declined 36.26% to RMB 41.02 million. • Transportation logistics revenue fell sharply to RMB 11.59 million (-95.92%) and profit retreated to RMB 3.13 million.

Balance Sheet & Investments • Total assets reached RMB 63.81 billion (+4.55%). • Service-concession assets expanded by RMB 1.20 billion to RMB 53.02 billion, reflecting continued spending on Chengle, Chengya and Tianqiong projects. • Bank and other interest-bearing borrowings amounted to RMB 39.85 billion; weighted-average borrowing cost fell to 2.83% (2024: 3.55%).

Post-Year-End Developments • On 2 March 2026 the Group completed the RMB 2.41 billion acquisition of an 85% stake in Hubei Jingyi Expressway, which will be consolidated from 2026. • Management targets further expressway asset integration, accelerated energy-charging network build-out, and service-area upgrades in 2026.
