Part III Management Discussion and Analysis I. Industry Performance During Reporting Period 1. Overview of the Smart Sanitation Industry th 2022 marked the convening of the 20th CPC National Congress and was a crucial year for implementing China's 14 Five- Year Plan. The CPC Central Committee, State Council, state ministries and commissions issued and refined a range of sanitation- related policies and standards, promoting the industry's marketization. The urban service market maintained robust momentum thanks to the sanitation marketization reform and the "urban steward" model. Driven by policy incentives, demand for environmental protection equipment remained high, indicating a positive outlook over the long term. However, the market experienced a continued decline from the previous year due to macroeconomic challenges. In 2023, the sanitation market is expected to further expand, as new energy sanitation approaches an economic inflection point. Numerous policies and implementing plans are anticipated to facilitate municipal governments in sanitation, leading to full marketization of the sanitation sector. Smart sanitation is an essential item of government spending, as it is closely related to people's livelihoods. The sector's long-term growth is not entirely connected with short-term economic volatility, and it is tied to long-term economic trends, policy directives, environmental requirements, and people's living standards. 2. Development Trends (1) Steady progress in marketization and gradual concentration of industry leaders The marketization of China's urban service industry refers to municipal governments' gradual withdrawal from the actual management and operation in the sanitation industry and a shift toward an operational model in which the government procures services from eligible service providers through open tenders. Under this model, local governments make use of the competitive market, exercise special supervision and use other means to effectively boost the service efficiency and quality of urban service providers. The government's ongoing investment and introduction of favorable policies that promote urban environmental development have expanded the domestic urban service industry's potential for growth. The marketization of China's domestic sanitation sector will further expand the industry's room for growth in the future. Players in the sanitation industry with competitive advantages such as good connections with the government, capital, management experience, strong brand effects and cost synergy are well positioned to seize the opportunities from the current wave of marketization, to achieve rapid growth. China's urban service industry is set for growth in the future. Increasing market concentration is also expected. (2) Rapid development of IoT and increased adoption of smart sanitation In addition to having huge growth potential, the sanitation industry has to cope with a wide range of challenges, including challenges in operating and supervising a great number of vehicles and equipment, managing numerous and dispersed personnel, managing infrastructure across districts, and monitoring and assessing widely-dispersed operating areas. The industry is characterized by numerous practitioners, wide service areas, and massive tasks. To overcome these challenges, it should prioritize efforts to optimize its service portfolio, such as adopting sanitation facilities powered by IT. In this context, smart sanitation is emerging as a trend in the sanitation management industry. Through the IoT-powered Smart Sanitation Cloud Platform, the Company monitors sanitation operations in real-time. It is capable of 24/7, all-round, seamless, precise, and efficient operation, maintenance, supervision, and management of service personnel, vehicles, objects, and events. This contributes to a holistic enhancement of urban governance and public services. (3) New opportunities from environmental protection equipment powered by new energy and smart technologies As China advances ecological construction, achieving carbon peak and neutrality has been included in the national plan for ecological endeavors. Against this backdrop, new energy-powered sanitation vehicles, an important segment of public service vehicles, will drive industry growth by enabling low-noise, zero-emissions and effective environmental protection. The increased adoption of 5G sanitation robots, autonomous sanitation vehicles, and small smart sanitation robots continues to expand the frontiers of the environmental protection equipment sector, and these fields have a very promising market. The future of urban/rural services is increasingly steered toward one that is smart, requires less or even no human labor. Small intelligent equipment and autonomous vehicles will present the next breakthrough. As the smart sanitation market expects environmental protection equipment to be increasingly intelligent and energy-efficient, companies with more technological achievements and stronger R&D capabilities will gain a bigger market share. For a detailed analysis on the industry, please refer to Discussion and Analysis on the Future Development of the Company. II. Principal Business During the Reporting Period 1.
