**3 Directors' Report** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.1 Discussion and Analysis of Operations** 

In 2022, the world economy maintained growth, but the growth rate declined due to factors such as geopolitics, inflation, and monetary policies. The supply and demand of the international crude oil market maintained a tight balance, and international crude oil prices remained high and volatile. The macro-economy of China overcame the effects of unexpected factors and improved and developed on a continuous basis. The gross domestic product ("GDP") of the year in China increased by 3.0% year-on-year; the demand in refined oil market was weary; the consumption in the natural gas market declined slightly.

According to changes in the international and domestic oil and gas markets, the Group persisted with efficient exploration and high-profitability development, enhanced exploration and development and actively increased oil and gas reserves and output. The Company also observed and adhered to market-oriented principles, promoted the transformation and upgrading of refining, developed chemicals and new material business steadily, continued to optimize its range of products. The Company vigorously strengthened its efforts in marketing and made every effort to ensure market supply. The Company also continued in its transformation to a green and low-carbon business model, promoted the integration of oil and gas and new energy and strived to become a comprehensive energy company offering "oil, gas, heat, electricity and hydrogen". The Company steadily developed its new energy business, comprising geothermal energy, wind and solar power. Persistence in low-cost development also resulted in major costs indicators being effectively controlled. In 2022, the Group achieved a revenue of RMB 3,239.167 billion, representing an increase of 23.9% as compared with RMB 2,614.349 billion for last year; and the profit attributable to owners of the Company was RMB149.380 billion, representing an increase of 62.1% as compared with RMB92.170 billion for last year. The structure of asset and liabilities was further optimized, and the financial position of the Group remained stable. The Group maintained robust cash flow, with free cash flow seeing a year-on-year increase of 88.4%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.1.1 Market Review** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(1) Crude Oil Market* 

In 2022, due to the impact of factors such as the gradual slowdown of global economic growth, the geopolitical crisis caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the increase of interest rate in major economies in Europe and the United States, the growth rate of oil demand was slow, and crude oil prices fluctuated and fell back in the second half of the year after rising to a high in the middle of the year. In 2022, the annual average spot price of North Sea Brent crude oil was US$101.32 per barrel, representing an increase of 42.9% as compared with last year; the annual average spot price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil was US$94.54 per barrel, representing an increase of 38.8% compared with last year.

Statistics from the National Development and Reform Commission (the "NDRC") showed that the domestic output of crude oil was 204.67 million tons in 2022, representing an increase of 2.9% as compared with last year.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(2) Refined Products Market* 

In 2022, the domestic macro-economy moved forward under pressure, the demand for refined oil products hit bottom, but the supply remained stable.

Statistics from NDRC showed that in 2022, the apparent consumption of refined oil was 345 million tons, representing an increase of 0.9% as compared with last year, among which gasoline had a decrease of 4.6%, diesel oil had an increase of 11.8%, and aviation kerosene had a decrease of 32.4% as compared with last year, respectively. The price trend of domestic refined oil remained basically the same as that of oil price in the international market. The PRC adjusted the domestic prices of gasoline and diesel 23 times. The price of gasoline standard product and diesel standard product increased by RMB550 per ton and RMB530 per ton respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(3) Chemical Products Market* 

In 2022, the growth rate of demand of the domestic chemical market has declined, the prices in the chemical market fluctuated widely and the prices of certain products diverged. The prices of alkene, downstream synthetic resin and synthetic rubber declined slightly and the price of aromatic hydrocarbon slightly increased. The high costs of domestic chemicals narrowed the gross profit margins, thus the rate of operation got lower as compared with last year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(4) Natural Gas Market* 

In 2022, the drastic changes in the global natural gas market pattern caused by geopolitical crisis as well as factors such as economic weakness, the consumption of the global natural gas declined; supply and demand of natural gas market showed regional structural strain; the price of the natural gas remained at the high level. Domestic natural gas consumption experienced negative growth, but city gas consumption continued to grow.

Statistics from NDRC and other authorities showed that in 2022, the output of domestic natural gas was 217.8 billion cubic meters, representing an increase of 6.4% as compared with last year; the import volume of natural gas was 109.25 million tons, representing a decrease of 9.9% as compared with last year; and the apparent consumption was 366.3 billion cubic meters, representing a decrease of 1.7% as compared with last year.

When individual shareholders and securities investment funds holding A shares of the Company transfer their shares after the equity registration date, the Shanghai Branch of CSDC will calculate the actual tax payable based on the period of their shareholding, and securities companies and other share custodians will withhold the amount of tax payable from their respective accounts transfer to the Shanghai Branch of CSDC. The actual tax payable is calculated as follows: if the shareholding period (meaning the duration from the date of public offering or acquiring the Company's shares from the market to the day before the date of transfer and delivery of the stock) is within one month (including one month), the dividends and bonuses will be fully considered as taxable income, and the actual tax payable will be 20% of the dividends and bonuses; if the shareholding period is more than one month to one year (including one year), 50% of the dividends and bonuses will be considered as taxable income, and the actual tax payable will be 10% of the dividends and bonuses; if the shareholding period exceeds one year, the dividends and bonuses are temporarily exempted from individual income tax.

In relation to Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors ("QFII") holding A shares of the Company, according to the rules of Notice of the SAT on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax on Dividends, Bonuses and Interests Paid to QFII by Chinese Resident Enterprises (Letter No. 47 [2009] of the SAT) (《關于中國居民企業向QFII支付股息、紅利、利息代扣代繳企業所得稅有關問題的通知》 (國稅函〔2009〕47號))("Letter No. 47 [2009] of the SAT"), the Company will withhold corporate income tax at the rate of 10%; if the relevant shareholders consider that they are entitled to tax treatment under certain tax treaty (arrangement) in relation to the dividends, such shareholders may file an application for the tax treatment under the tax treaty (arrangement) with the competent tax authority after receiving dividends according to Letter No. 47 [2009] of the SAT.

Any H shares registered in the name of non-individual shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees, trustees or other groups and organisations will be treated as being held by non-resident enterprise shareholders and therefore will be subject to the withholding of the corporate income tax. Should any holder of H shares wish to change his/her/its shareholder status, please consult his/her/its agent or trust institution over the relevant procedures. The Company will withhold payment of the corporate income tax strictly in accordance with the relevant laws or requirements of the relevant governmental departments and strictly based on the information registered on the Company's H share register of members on June 27, 2023.
