With the continuous advancement of the company's international strategic layout, significant results have been achieved in expanding overseas markets, and the scale of foreign currency income and expenditure, such as foreign currency sales and cross-border settlements, has steadily increased. The company's export business is primarily settled in US dollars.

The RMB exchange rate exhibits two-way fluctuations, which may impact the company's foreign currency assets, accounts receivable, and future foreign currency collections, leading to foreign exchange gains and losses and potentially affecting the stability of operating performance. To effectively avoid foreign exchange market risks, reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the company's operating performance, and improve the efficiency of foreign exchange fund utilization, the company and its subsidiaries intend to engage in forward foreign exchange settlement and foreign exchange options business.
