The Abstract of the 2017 Annual Report of Shenzhen Chiwan Wharf Holdings Limited 1. Business review for the reporting period
During 2017, the global economy grew at a faster pace, with higher international trade volumes and prices, as well as a basically stable financial market.China’s economic growth reached6.9% for the year as its supply-side structural reform boosted investment and export. Thecountry’s foreign trade was improving, with the total value coming to an end of the recentyears’ negative growth and rebounding14.2% over last year. As a result, thecountry’s shipping market saw a general recovery, with faster growth in port throughput. According to the preliminary data ofChina’s Ministry of Transport, thecountry’s coastal ports above the designated size registered a cargo throughput of 8.63 billion metric tons, representing a year-over-year growth of6.4% (3.2 percentage points higher than last year), and a container throughput of 0.21 billion TEU, up7.7% from a year earlier (4.3 percentage points higher than last year).
During the reporting period, the Company forged ahead, faithfully following the policy of “Adhere to a Down-to-Earth Working Style and Focus on the Main Business for Development”. All the business plans that the Company set out for the year have been implemented successfully, with the yearly cargo throughput reaching 69.847 million tons, representing a steady year-over-year increase of1.8%.
(1) Container handling business
A higher container shipping demand spurred by the recovery in international trade, the slowdown in growth in the worldwide shipping capacity and the slightly increased shipping rates brought better earnings to shipping companies. Mergers, restructuring and federalization were still taking place in the shipping sector. The three major shipping unions, namely, 2M, OCEAN and THE began running in April, which has caused adjustments to global shipping routes, as well as a more centralized market.
During the reporting period, the combined container throughput of the ports of the three major cities in South China was 66.11 million TEU, up5.9% from last year, of which Shenzhen ports handled 25.25 million TEU, a5.3% year-over-year growth. With hub ports for containers in South China, the Company responded to changing shipping routes in an effective way by soliciting business from new routes and local sources to maintain stability in business. The Company handled a total of 5.374 million TEU of containers throughout the year, up2.9% from last year and accounting for21% of the Shenzhen market. In the meantime, the Company continued to forge ahead with the “Internet+ Smart Port” campaign to upgrade its comprehensive logistics services. In addition, theCompany’s ePort platform, a one-stop customer service system, went online, which would connect both the upstream and downstream links for better services.
(2) Bulk cargo handling business
During the reporting period,China’s supply-side structural reform optimized production capacity and spurred growth in imports of grain and fertilizers. During 2017, China imported 0.13 billion tons of grain, a13.9% year-over-year increase; and 9.17 million tons of fertilizers, up10.2% from the year earlier. By seizing market opportunities, the Company handled a total of 21.203 million tons of bulk cargos throughout the year, increasing12.7% compared to last year.
With respect to grain and feedstuff handling, the Company adopted a business strategy of working on both domestic and foreign trade and successfully attracted new clients by virtue of a keen sense of the market and quality services. Meanwhile, the Company improved its port operation procedure for better efficiency and furthered cooperation with clients to satisfy their various needs. As a result, theCompany’s customer service quality and local influence kept improving. During 2017, theCompany’s grain and feedstuff throughput increased9.4% from last year, of which the inbound data went up13.0% on a year-over-year basis, solidifying theCompany’s position as a leading grain and feedstuff handling service provider, as well as priority ports for handling imported and exported grain and feedstuff, in the Pearl River Delta.
As for fertilizer handling, by paying close attention to changes in the market and staying in close contact with clients, the Company handled significantly more cargos from its core clients, attracted new potash clients, restarted the bonded and re-exported calcium phosphate business which had stopped for over two years, and handled an increasing quantity of exported urea and imported pure sodium carbonate. Additionally, the Company offered customized, value-added support services to increase customer loyalty, and extended its rail-water gallery for more business opportunities. During 2017, the fertilizers handled by the Company rose significantly by40% from last year, the compound fertilizer imports handled accounted for a55% of the national market, and the potash imports handled took up9% nationwide, which have further secured theCompany’s leading position on the market.
The Abstract of the 2017 Annual Report of Shenzhen Chiwan Wharf Holdings Limited (3) Support services and investment management
TheCompany’s business of support tow truck, tugboat, customs clearance and barge services operated well. Earnings in this respect have risen as the Company also looked for income while ensuring the support services. Meanwhile, theCompany’s main joint ventures, including China Overseas Harbour Affairs (Laizhou) Co., Ltd., China Merchants Bonded Logistics Co., Ltd. and China Merchants Holdings (International) Information Technology Co., Ltd., offered slightly lower returns to the Company compared to last year.
TheCompany’s primary business results are set out as follows:
|||||
|-|-|-|-|
|Main business indicator|2017|2016|Change|
|Total throughput (thousand tons)|69,847|68,603|1.8%|
|Among which: Container throughput (thousand TEU)|5,374|5,222|2.9%|
|Bulk cargo throughput (thousand tons)|21,203|18,822|12.7%|
|Hours charged for tow trucks (thousand hours)|1,169|1,165|0.4%|
|Hours charged for tugboats (hour)|38,392|32,530|18.0%|

 During the reporting period, the Company carried out the tasks it had set out for the year, with its focus on lean management for the purposes of better quality and efficiency of internal management. It improved the structure of its Headquarters for a more professional division of functions, as well as for a more solid organizational and human resources structure; further strengthened budgetary and performance management for more effective internal control; made better use of its existing facilities and equipment through technical modification and procedure reform, and enhanced resource allocation assessment and asset control, which have resulted in a significantly higher ratio of resource utilization; and promoted integrated financial management to management the liquidity of each entity within the Company in a more effective way, improve the debt structure and look for the best financial outcome.
2. Outlook of theCompany’s future development
(1) Outlook and trends of the industry
In 2018, with the continuing steady recovery of the world economy, the economic operation in China is predicted to remain stable. In the future, while the inclination of the national policy towards the real economy is expected to shore up the needs for goods trade, there are some unfavorable external conditions, such as the evolution of the global trade and investment outlook and the trade protectionism raising its head. The positive trend of the shipping industry is expected to be sustained, but we need to be cautiously optimistic since the imbalance between supply and demand has not been solved from the root after going through the phased repair. The port industry has generally maintained the development tendency of advancement in steady growth, and will enter the key transformation phase from high-speed growth to high-quality development. However, the structural excess of the industrial capacity and the slowed increase of demands are becoming normal and with the market-oriented reform of the port charges, the port companies are faced with challenges in their profitability. It has become an inexorable trend for the port companies to actively seek to transform from port operators to port comprehensive service providers by making use of the Internet technology and the industrial integration opportunity.
In terms of container handling, the regional container transportation demands are expected to grow moderately. Affected by factors such as the regional competition, the allied operation of shipping companies and the adjustment of the regional urban planning, the Company faces great pressure in the growth of its container business. The Company will closely follow up with the latest mergers and acquisitions of its customers, reinforce the flexibility of the business negotiations and actively secure new routes, while initiating the berth upgrading project and helping to push the expansion and dredging works of Tonggu Fairway and the construction of the public fairway in the western port area so as to improve the hardware resource conditions at the port for sustained stability of the container business.
As for bulk cargo handling, regional demand for grain, feedstuff and fertilizer is expected to keep growing. The
new bulk grain warehouse resource input, the bonded and transit businesses and the cultivation of new supply of
goods and new business forms will bring business growth opportunities to the Company. The Company will
follow closely the market and industrial policy changes and take positive business tactics. Meanwhile, it will
The Abstract of the 2017 Annual Report of Shenzhen Chiwan Wharf Holdings Limited accelerate the upgrading of the berth and warehousing resources in Chiwan Port and the construction of the warehousing facilities in Machong Port so as to enhance the overall resource capacity and ensure the steady advancement of the business scale and the industrial position of bulk cargo handling.
(2) Development strategy
During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, focusing on the strategy vision of “Building the Regional 1stLevel’s Port Integrated Service Provider”, the Company sticks to the principle of “Based on Main Business of Port Service, Be a Local Standard; Expand Comprehensive Service for Business Upgrade”. We strive to build a company featuring excellent management, great efficiency, potential for sustained development and the ability to create constant value for its shareholders, employees, customers and the society.
In the reporting period, we researched and formulated the implementation schemes for our strategic planning, proposing the “123 Development Strategy”: sticking to one center - centered around innovation-driven, playing the role of two platforms - the financing platform and the investment subject platform, and well establishing three bases - the business development and innovation base, the technological support and incubation base and the talent cultivation and reservation base.
The Company considers entering the ro-ro port warehousing market in the future and starting from the ro-rologistics, gradually expand the domestic and even the overseas commercial vehicle ro-ro port businesses, developing new business growth points other than container and bulk cargo handling businesses.
(3) Business plans for 2018
2018 is the first year of implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the CPC. Faced with the complicated market situation in the new age, the Company will vigorously respond to the challenges and seek to achieve sound growth of its business results and profits. Our main business plans are as follows:
1) To focus on the operation of the port main business and expand the business scale advantage
We will closely follow the shipping market and industrial trend changes, take positive business tactics, develop new supply of goods and new customers while maintaining the existing customers, and consolidate and further enhance our market position in the regional port. Meanwhile, we will cultivate new business forms by combining with the port main business, develop logistics value chain services and provide more breakthrough value-added supporting businesses to achieve the stable growth of our business scale and profits.
2) To optimize resource allocation and improve resource guarantee capability
We will actively carry forward the construction of the Tonggu Fairway and the public fairway in the western port area, speed up the upgrading of Berth10# and11# in Chiwan Port and Berth5# in Mawan Port, and improve the container navigating and berthing capabilities in the port. We will accelerate the construction of Berth5# and6# in Chiwan Port and the warehousing upgrading in the port, the construction of the bulk grain warehouses in Machong Port and the compound fertilizer surge bins, and improve the bulk cargo berthing and warehousing capabilities in the port. We will intensify the optimized use of stock resources and establish the collaborative sharing mechanism for the bulk cargo business resources in the two ports to fully enhance the resource guarantee capability.

The Abstract of the 2017 Annual Report of Shenzhen Chiwan Wharf Holdings Limited 5) Capital needs and use plan
The total investment on fixed assets of the Company in 2018 is planned to reach RMB 675,460,000, of which: RMB 490,730,000 is for the investment on port warehousing projects; RMB 139,040,000 is for that on mechanical equipment and technological upgrading projects; RMB 31,420,000 is for that on information projects; and RMB 14,270,000 is for that on administrative, office and miscellaneous projects. The required funds of the above capital expenditure are mainly from the cash inflow obtained fromCompany’s operation and the borrowings from inter-bank market and financial institutions.
(4) Possible risks and countermeasures
1) External risks
The external risks mainly come from the uncertainty of the macroeconomic recovery and the increasingly fierce competition among regional ports. As our main business is strongly external and the potential risk factors in the macroeconomic recovery will bring negative effects to the container shipping market and the large bulk cargo demands, we face major challenges in maintaining the stability of the port business; the port capacity supply is excessive in the Pearl River Delta, leading to worsened homogeneous competition among ports, potential risks of business segregation and increased pressure of decreasing port charge rates. Our investing companies are all in the port, logistics or the related industries and face the same business fluctuation risks, thus resulting in the fluctuation of our investment returns.
We attach importance to the research and estimation of the external operating environment, intensify the business operation risk warning ability, plan in advance effective measures to actively respond to market changes and seek opportunities among challenges to strive for the stability of the core business. We will further optimize the port resource allocation, enhance our comprehensive competitiveness, reinforce our advantageous position within the region and build an industrial benchmark enterprise. Meanwhile, we will strengthen our control on investments and external expansion and balance the return risk fluctuation by expanding the business layout, innovating business models and optimizing the profiting structure.
2) Internal risks
The internal risks mainly come from the increased operation costs and relatively onefold business structure. The price of such production factors as land and labor continues to rise and the port operation costs go up rigidly, causing narrowed corporate profit margins; our port loading and unloading businesses occupy a big proportion with relatively single profiting source and thus, our business extension and expansion abilities are yet to be improved.
We further develop and enhance the profits of using stock resources by continuing to advance the lean management, increase our investment on scientific researches, focus on the technological innovation of techniques and reduce the labor scale to achieve improved quality, efficiency and abilities. With our existing advantages, we will base on our port main business, develop comprehensive port services and cultivate new profit growth points to gradually transform from a conventional port operator to a comprehensive port service provider.
