JCET Posts Second Consecutive Quarter with Record High in Q2 2020

Strong demand for advanced technology drives growth (Q2 2020 Financial Highlights):

    --  Revenue was RMB 6.27 billion, a record high in the second quarter. On a
        comparable basis, taking into account the accounting change in revenue
        recognition, it was an increase of 55.3% year on year (see note).
    --  Generated RMB 1.00 billion cash from operations, up 54.9% year on year.
        With net capex investments of RMB 0.64 billion, free cash flow for the
        quarter was RMB 0.36 billion.
    --  Net profit was RMB 0.23 billion, a record high second quarter in the
        past five years.


    --  Earnings per share was RMB 0.15, as compared to RMB -0.13 in Q2 2019.
        Note: During the reporting period, we optimized the business model for
        the purchase and sale of certain packaged products, of which JCET Group
        no longer bears the general inventory risk on the main raw materials. In
        accordance with PRC GAAP, both revenue and costs of goods sold were
        recorded on the net basis and decreased by RMB 0.93 billion
        respectively. This change had no impact on the company's net profit.
        Assuming that revenue was still recognized by the gross method (should
        be recorded on the net basis according to PRC GAAP), it would be RMB
        7.20 billion, an increase of 55.3% over the same period last year.
