In the Logistics FieldContainer Manufacturing Business: During the Reporting Period, although global trade continued to face adverse factors such as high inflation and geopolitical frictions, the growth of global merchandise trade continued to maintain a certain degree of resilience. According to Container Trades Statistics, global container trade volume increased by approximately 5.2% YoY in the first half of 2026, mainly benefiting from the growth of trade related to the global technology industry. Meanwhile, the low efficiency of container shipping caused by the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, disruption to the resumption of shipping routes in the Red Sea and port congestion supported demand for containers.

In particular, the accumulated sales volume of dry containers reached 1.1385 million TEUs, representing a YoY increase of approximately 1.12%; meanwhile, benefiting from the bountiful harvest of fresh fruits in South America and the harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere, sales volume of reefer containers reached 108,200 TEUs, representing a YoY increase of approximately 17.61%. During the Reporting Period, the container segment recorded revenue of RMB21.920 billion, representing a YoY increase of 0.85%, and net profit of RMB272 million, mainly affected by the YoY decline in the price of standard containers and exchange rates.Logistics Services Business: During the Reporting Period, the multimodal transport market environment gradually improved, particularly the container shipping market, where freight rates continued to rise since March.
