BEIJING,Aug. 16,2023 -- Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys",the "Company" or "we"),a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China,today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal year 2023 and the fourth quarter ended June 30,2023.

The Industrial Automation segment continued its growth momentum. The variety of applications and use cases for our product continue to expand,and we have received awards for numerous projects and products.

In the chemical and petrochemical field,Hollysys continued to achieve breakthroughs on national key projects and maintained our cooperation with key customers. We won several mid- and high-profile contracts with competitive positioning in this fiscal year. For example,we signed a 100-billion-square-meter large gas field project and a whole-plant integrated simulation project of a synthetic ammonia and urea plant. We reinforced the Hia Advanced Process Control platform for one of our petrochemical customers,optimizing its isooctane unit and helping it become a benchmark in its industry while maintaining competitive vitality. Moreover,the Sinopec Group Million Ton Ethylene Project saw the first batch delivery in this fiscal year,representing a milestone breakthrough in Hollysys' petrochemical business. We also assisted a chemical enterprise in establishing a digital talent training base with our Operator Training Simulator in the fourth fiscal quarter. Additionally,Hollysys' strategic layout and developments in overseas business witnessed steady progress. We successfully signed the OBI nickel-iron project in Indonesia with a resource company in this fiscal year,with Hollysys providing relevant customized products with integrated and comprehensive intelligent solutions,marking a new milestone for our overseas market expansion.

The food and pharmaceutical sectors also demonstrated steady business growth. We signed a significant project with a leading enterprise of generic contrast media products on producing iodiproamine and regadesone in this fiscal year,with Hollysys acting as the overall instrument control contractor that provides Distributed Control System ("DCS"),instrument valves and installation. In the fourth fiscal quarter,we also provided an integrated solution for a pharmaceutical company and received high user recognition.

In the smart factory field,we kept developing customized smart factory solutions that meet customers' requirements. We made several vital cooperations with various customers in this fiscal year. We signed the project of automatic control system and factory intelligent management system of a northwest listed coal company and the Sinopec power center simulation project which covers the whole range of high-precision excitation virtual imitation machine systems. Meanwhile,we completed the delivery of a 230,000 tons phenolic resin project,providing fully autonomous and controllable HiaBatch control system. In the fourth fiscal quarter,we won the bids for two smart factory projects that are expected to aid in their intelligent transformation and help reduce their production and operation costs.

In Rail Transportation Automation segment,we continued to maintain our market position. In the high-speed rail sector,we made new progress in this fiscal year. For instance,we participated in the Guizhou section of Guiyang-Nanning Railway project and Yiyang-Changsha section of Changde-Yiyang-Changsha High-Speed Railway project. In the subway sector,our Traffic Operation System Platform was successfully applied in the Phase I Project of Beijing Metro Line 19. In terms of the urban rail transit sector,the first phase of Lanzhou Rail Transit Line 2 started trial operation successfully with the support of our comprehensive monitoring system and other services in the fourth fiscal quarter. We also provided an integrated station control room for Lanzhou Rail Transit. Moreover,our ZPW-2000S communication coding track circuit product,which was certified by the Safety Integrity Level 4 and the China Railway Product Certification Center,won two bids on domestic lines in the fourth fiscal quarter. In addition to the domestic market,we have smoothly explored the overseas market. We signed the sales project of the main control system software and Programmable Logic Controller for Kuching urban transportation system in Sarawak,Malaysia in this fiscal year,of which the main control system adopted our independently developed MACS-SCADA software system platform. We believe that this project lays a solid foundation for future access to overseas markets and is expected to further enhance our international influence in the field of rail transit.

The Mechanical and Electrical Solution segment also manifested a stable performance with smooth executions on various projects.

With our continuous dedication to the industry and the support of experienced and passionate experts,we believe that we will continue to create more value for our clients and shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements,which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP,in evaluating our results,we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin,non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts,non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd.,as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as any replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures help identify underlying trends in the Company's business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the share-based compensation expenses,which are calculated based on the number of shares or options granted and the fair value as of the grant date,and amortization of acquired intangible assets. They will not result in any cash inflows or outflows. We believe that using non-GAAP measures help our shareholders to have a better understanding of our operating results and growth prospects.

Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin,as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to gross profit and gross margin,gross profit and gross margin of integrated solutions contracts,net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd.,basic and diluted earnings per share,or any other measure of performance,or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin,as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently,limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company's data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

We define non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin as gross profit and gross margin,adjusted to exclude non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles. The following table provides a reconciliation of our gross profit and gross margin to non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin for the periods indicated.
