Management highlighted market expansion efforts, with premium products surpassing targets and consolidating positions in high-end segments such as high-strength container steel, new energy vehicle silicon steel, and hot-rolled battery shell steel.

Systematic cost-reduction initiatives delivered a per-tonne steel cost saving of RMB90 compared to the previous year.

Research breakthroughs were underscored by multiple awards and new product releases, including innovative steels designed for high-cold regions and electromagnetic applications.
During the period, Angang Steel completed a board re-election, with new appointments to executive and managerial roles. Management emphasized ongoing risk control measures and adherence to budget constraints, resulting in positive net cash flow from operating activities for the first three quarters of 2025.
