Based on the information currently available, the Group's consolidated results for the three months ended 31 March 2021 will achieve a turnaround from loss to profit as compared to those of the corresponding period of last year, mainly due to the following factors:

  1. During the corresponding period of last year, all business segments of the Group were subjected to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in varying degrees. As a result, the Group recorded a loss in performance for the first quarter of last year;
  2. The market demand for containers remained high driven by robust recovery of the global economy and impressive improvement in international trade. For the first quarter of this year, the sales volume of dry containers and reefer containers of the Group increased by 174% and 82%, representing a significant increase in sales revenue as compared with the corresponding period of last year.

The Group is still in the process of preparing its consolidated results for the three months ended 31 March 2021. The information contained in this announcement is only based on the internal consolidated management accounts of the Group and the preliminary assessment by the management of the Company, and is not based on any figures or information which has been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditor.
