原标题:京东方B:2023年年度报告(英文版) ANNUAL REPORT 2023 April 2024 Message to Our Shareholders As time passes, we continue to innovate and achieve new milestones. The year 2023 marked a significant milestone for BOE as we celebrated our 30th anniversary in the industry. Our journey to this point has been fraught with challenges, yet our unwavering resolve and dedication have borne fruit, which can be seen in the significant developmental strides we have achieved. This past year, with its backdrop of complex global, political, and economic shifts, as well as ongoing adjustments in industrial structures, has presented us with a unique array of challenges. However, the resilience and tenacity of the BOE team have ensured the stability and incremental growth of our operations. Our operating revenue and net profit before exceptional gains and losses have shown consistent quarterly growth. Most notably, our net profit attributable to shareholders before exceptional gains and losses, surged by 71.74% year on year, giving us a more solid foundation for sustained, high-quality growth. Expanding markets and enhancing industry standing We maintained our global leadership in terms of both shipment volume and shipment area of LCD, and did so across five mainstream product categories. Our innovative IoT products in segments such as low power consumption, tiled display screens, and digital signage continued to dominate global shipments. A record-high milestone was reached with nearly 120 million flexible OLED units shipped annually, and this was complemented by the initiation of China's first 8.6G AMOLED production line, further affirming our technological leadership. Our transformational endeavours have also borne fruit across various sectors. Our smart finance sector expanded its strategic customer base, while our sensor and smart medical engineering sectors have both achieved significant year-on-year growth in operating revenue. Our strategic integration with HC SemiTek in the MLED sector has also refined our industrial layout. Moreover, Zhongxiangying has been recognized as a national "Little Giant" firm for being professional, sophisticated, distinctive and novel, and Energy Technology is listed among the nation's third list of smart photovoltaic pilot demonstration enterprises. Driving innovation to empower high-quality industrial development BOE has cumulatively filed applications for over 90,000 patents as of 2023, with inventions comprising over 90% of the past year's filings and international patents exceeding 33%. And we were named for the sixth consecutive year to the Global Top 20 of the U.S. granted patent ranking. The globally acclaimed display industry event SID 2023 marked our debut of world-class technologies and highlighted our capture of nine prestigious awards, further enhancing our presence in the industry through leading technological innovation. The BOE Global Innovation Partner Conference 2023, the biggest ever in our history, served as a professional platform for ecosystem construction and collaborative exchange, drew unprecedented participation from industry experts, ecosystem partners, and leading companies worldwide, and fueled further momentum for high-quality development within the industry. To maintain the technological edge, BOE has established key innovation platforms in semiconductor displays, IoT innovation, and sensor devices. Together with our partners, our collaborative efforts in the advancement of key technology are accelerating the IoT transformation. In particular, our IoT innovation platform is dedicated to exploring specialized application scenarios, while the sensor technology platform is zeroing in on cutting-edge optoelectronic and novel sensor technologies.

With the operational mechanism "three offices and three managements" that integrates “an agile front office, an intensive middle office, and an efficient back office” with “strategy, procedures and performance”, our "Platform + Battle Team" operational model has strengthened management’s responsibility, establishing a matrixed management style where “Battle Teams lead engagements while Platforms handle infrastructure”. This system ensures a customer-centric and business-oriented methodology, effectively marshalling resources and fostering the development of capabilities. This setup not only facilitates the sharing of platform resources and capabilities to leverage economies of scale, but also maximizes internal efficiency and collaboration, propelling continuous business growth. Being listed among world-class demonstration enterprises by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council in 2023 along with six other local enterprises is a testament to our past endeavours and achievements, as well as the faith in our potential for future excellence. Staying committed to green development and resolutely pursuing a path of low carbon emissions In 2023, BOE published the Towards Carbon Neutrality: BOE’s Low-Carbon Development Report, which pledged carbon neutrality in our display operations by 2050. As part of our daily operations + and management, we unswervingly adhere to the sustainable development principles of "Green , + Innovation , Community+." By coordinating green management initiatives, building green factories, establishing green supply chains, and developing green, low-carbon products, we are showing our commitment to implementing comprehensive green development practices. Meanwhile, we are also aiming to share our low-carbon development experiences with our industry partners through a replicable and referential decarbonization blueprint, one that is designed to aid the industry's transition towards green development. As we forge ahead, BOE remains dedicated to leading by example in terms of making low-carbon commitments, endeavouring to safeguard our planet and create a better future for the world. Looking back at our 30-year journey, BOE has played a pivotal role in leading China's semiconductor display industry from its nascent stages to global prominence. Looking forward, we are poised to continue this trajectory of excellence, creating a brighter future for the industry and society at large.
