Leveraging its continuously strengthened global operational platform, the Group captured customer demand across regions, mitigated risks from single-market fluctuations, and achieved steady, quality growth.In 2024, adhering to the principles of seeking progress while maintaining stability and upholding integrity while innovating, the Group capitalized on its global presence to navigate headwinds and achieve consecutive quarterly performance improvements. For the full year, the Group achieved record-high revenue of RMB 177.664 billion, a 39.01% year-on-year increase.

During the Reporting Period, global demand for goods trade picked up, and according to the report issued in February 2025 by CLARKSONS (a global authoritative industry analyst), global container trade volume increased by 5.9% year-on-year to 213 million TEUs in 2024; at the same time, the detour of European routes brought about by the Red Sea Incident and the port congestion caused by the strike of terminal workers resulted in lowered efficiency of container transportation, and increased container demand. Resultantly, during the Reporting Period, the production and sales volume of the Group’s container manufacturing business hit a record high. In particular, the accumulated sales volume of dry containers reached 3,433,600 TEUs (same period in 2023: 664,100 TEUs), representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 417.03%. The accumulated sales volume of reefer containers reached 138,600 TEUs (same period in 2023: 92,500 TEUs), representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 49.84%. In 2024, the container manufacturing business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB 62.205 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 30.213 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 105.89%, and a net profit of RMB 4.088 billion (same period in 2023: RMB1.794 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 127.84%.In the logistics services business, during the Reporting Period, global merchandise trade showed a rebound in growth, driving strong cargo demand in the international container transportation market. Meanwhile, the substantial rebound in the freight rates of container transportation contributed to the growth in demand in the air and land transportation markets. In 2024, the Group's logistics services business continued to strengthen its direct customer acquisition capabilities. The business volume of its key core products saw growth ranging from 2% to 49%, achieving operating revenue of RMB 31.389 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 20.166 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 55.65%, and a net profit of RMB 437 million (same period in 2023: RMB 187 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 133.27%. The yard business volume reached a new record high, with over 7.5 million TEUs of empty containers in and out of the yards for the whole year. During the Reporting Period, CIMC Wetrans ranked third among Chinese enterprises on the list of the 2024 Top 50 Ocean Freight Forwarders issued by Transport Topic, an authoritative magazine in the global logistics industry.In the road transport vehicle business, CIMC Vehicles deepened its implementation of the "Star-Chained Plan", achieving new-quality leadership. In 2024, despite a sluggish global commercial vehicle logistics market, the “Star-Chained Plan” enabled CIMC Vehicles to consolidate domestic semi-trailer factory resources and leverage superior product competitiveness to overcome challenges. This drove counter-cyclical growth in domestic vehicle sales and solidified its overseas market advantages. CIMC Vehicles increased its semi-trailer sales in the domestic market by 12.02% year-on-year, securing the nation’s top market share for the sixth consecutive year. Revenue grew against market headwinds, supported by strategic adjustments. The Company also aligned with new energy trends by launching its first pure electric tractors and trailers product. For 2024, CIMC Vehicles reported a revenue of RMB 20.998 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 25.087 billion), down 16.30% year-on-year, and net profit of RMB 1.081 billion (same period last year: RMB 2.448 billion), down 55.83% year-on-year. The decline primarily reflects the normalization of North American business from previously elevated levels. Additionally, in 2023, CIMC Vehicles generated a non-recurring gain of approximately RMB 848 million from the disposal of its equity in Shenzhen Special Vehicle.In the Energy FieldIn the offshore engineering business, the Group achieved its first profit turnaround. In 2024, the global shipping and offshore engineering market environment continued to improve, and international oil prices were at a relatively high level, which still had a promoting effect on the oil and gas production platforms. The continuous growth in marine operation activities drove the utilisation ratio and the rental for offshore engineering equipment to be on the rise, while the offshore engineering equipment market continued to recover. During the Reporting Period, CIMC Raffles secured new offshore engineering orders totaling US$ 3.250 billion (same period in 2023: US$ 1.680 billion), including the maintenance and reconstruction of one FLNG, two turnkey projects for FPSO hull construction, three ro-ro ships, and orders for other clean energy projects. As of the end of 2024, the accumulated value of orders on hand increased by 27% to US$ 6.920 billion (same period in 2023: US$ 5.470 billion), of which the proportion of the oil and gas business, wind power installation vessels and ro-ro ships was approximately 3:1:1. The manufacturing of these orders has been booked up to 2027. During the Reporting Period, the offshore engineering business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB 16.556 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 10.452 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 58.41%, and a net gain of RMB 224 million (same period in 2023: net loss of RMB 31 million).In the offshore engineering asset operation, the slow recovery of the global macro-economy and the volatility of crude oil prices continued to affect the global offshore drilling market. With intensifying market competition, both utilisation rate and rates of offshore drilling faced pressure market in the second half of the year, while oil companies re-examined new energy transformation, adjusted development strategies, slowed down the pace of transformation, and re-focused on oil and gas production. During the Reporting Period, the offshore engineering asset operation and management business of CIMC continued to leverage on its existing project experience and business capabilities, further consolidated its cooperative relationship with customers at home and abroad, and capitalised on its excellent offshore engineering platform operation and management capabilities to improve asset rental rates, successfully signing new lease contracts for 2 platforms. In 2024, the offshore engineering asset pool platform actively capitalized on asset revitalization opportunities, achieving a year-on-year increase in leasing and operational income and a notable reduction in losses.In the energy, chemical, and liquid food equipment business, the Group has overcome cyclical misalignment and fluctuations, supporting the global demand for energy transition. The revenue growth and orders for clean energy have been remarkable, and the Group has continued to enhance its overseas business presence and upstream capabilities in hydrogen energy. In particular, the global shipping industry is accelerating its green transformation, and the cumulative new orders for CIMC Enric’s marine clean energy business exceeded RMB 10 billion, reaching a new high; the sales revenue of LNG vehicle cylinders reached RMB 1.140 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 31%, reaching a historical high. In the chemical sector, the Group has maintained the number one global market share in tank containers for several consecutive years. In the liquid food segment, the Group seized growth opportunities in the domestic spirits market, achieving a year-on-year increase in revenue. Overall, this business achieved a revenue of RMB 25.579 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 25.026 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 2.21%, and net profits of RMB 732 million (same period in 2023: RMB 854 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.31%.Future Development and ProspectsThe Group's management stated, "Looking ahead to 2025, the Group will continue to deepen the implementation of its Five-Year Strategic Plan and the strategic theme of “accelerating the construction of new growth drivers and focusing on promoting high-quality development” and coordinate the reasonable growth of “quantity” and the effective improvement of “quality”, to ‘become a high-quality and respected world-class enterprise’.In terms of driving new growth momentum, CIMC Group will seize significant opportunities in green development and new quality production, actively expanding our strategic emerging business layout in areas such as clean energy and smart logistics.

香港, 2025年3月28日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 周大福人寿宣布，其碳减排目标已正式通过"科学基础减量目标倡议"（Science Based Target initiative或SBTi）认证，这一成果彰显了周大福人寿对碳减排的决心，并为公司持份者提供了一套可衡量的标准，以监测公司在这方面的持续努力。去年十月，周大福人寿制定与《巴黎协定》一致的科学基础目标，并成为首家主要在大湾区营运的"银行、多元化金融、保险业"界别的机构向SBTi提交碳减排承诺书，牵头推动可持续发展。SBTi是一个全球性的企业气候行动组织，旨在协助企业在应对气候危机方面发挥应有作用。周大福人寿的目标是在2029财年，将范围1和范围2的温室气体排放量减少37.8%（以2023财年水平为基准）。此外，就范围3的投资组合目标，周大福人寿承诺到2029财年：- 将其上市股票和公司债券投资组合中的电力行业的每兆瓦时温室气体排放量减少59%（以2023财年水平为基准），- 在其上市股票和公司债券投资组合中，将至少44.8%（以投资价值计算）投资于已制定SBTi认证目标的公司。以上两项举措将涵盖其总投资和贷款资产的65%。周大福人寿执行董事兼行政总裁叶文杰表示："周大福人寿深明气候行动不仅是一项重大责任，更有助于推动意义深远的变革。我们一直与周大福创建紧密合作，以确保一致实现2050年净零排放目标。此次碳减排目标获得认证，充分体现了我们在减少营运和投资组合排放量的坚定决心。这一里程碑再次证明了我们致力于建设可持续未来，同时为持份者开创保险新价值。"周大福人寿将透过以下策略和行动，实现其碳减排目标：范围1和范围2营运碳减排措施：- 电动车转型：将现有的租赁或自有车队替换为电动车。- 提升能源效率：探索提高公司各办公室的能源效率的机会。- 购买可再生能源证书：在优先推动电动车转型和提升能源效率的同时，周大福人寿亦将研究从本地能源供应商购买可再生能源或可再生能源证书，或为同一市场内没有其他选项的前提下，从亚洲及其他海外市场购买国际可再生能源证书，以进一步减少范围2的剩余营运排放。降低范围3中15个类别排放的措施：- 积极拥有权（Active Ownership）与参与策略：分阶段实施参与策略，以促进实际减排。- 气候融资：探索与环境、社会及企业管治（ESG）相关的产品及气候融资机会。- 策略与治理：建立完善的管治架构，以推动气候行动。- 政策与倡导：寻求机会建立合作与伙伴关系，以扩大影响力。周大福人寿选择上述碳减排措施，是因为这些措施预计将对公司的气候转型产生最直接的影响。截至2024 年6 月，公司投资组合的碳足迹已较2023年同期的基数减少了超过15%。此外，公司已投资超过35 亿港元于获ESG 标签的债券及减碳基金，主要聚焦亚洲市场，以支持区内绿色经济转型。关于周大福人寿保险有限公司周大福人寿保险有限公司（"周大福人寿"）扎根香港40年，为周大福创建有限公司（"周大福创建"）（香港股份代号：659）的全资附属公司，也是香港最具规模的寿险公司之一。作为周大福企业成员，周大福人寿紧扣郑氏家族（"周大福集团"或"集团"）多元业务体系的雄厚资源，致力为客户及其挚爱家人于"生活、成长、健康、传承"的人生旅程中，提供个人化的匠心规划、终身保障及优质体验。凭借集团财务实力及环球投资布局，周大福人寿矢志成为亚太区领先的保险公司，持续开创保险新价值。传媒联络周大福人寿品牌发展及传讯部陈佳容+852 2591 8504deronie.tan@ctflife.com.hk 周大福人寿保险有限公司（于百慕达注册成立之有限公司） Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
