The total number of engines sold by GYMCL during the second quarter of 2018 was 100,638 units in the same quarter last year,an increase of 11.1%. The increase was mainly due to increased engine sales to the truck and off-road segments,particularly the agriculture application and was partially offset by the decrease in the bus segment.In addition,Company's sales in the power-generation and the industrial equipment applications increased as compared with the same quarter last year.

According to data reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAM") (excluding sales of gasoline powered and electric vehicles),in the second quarter of 2018,sales of buses decreased by 3.1% while truck sales increased by 12.1%.

Other operating income was RMB 33.7million (US$ 5.1 million),compared with RMB 48.6million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was mainly due to foreign exchange revaluation losses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to a gain in the same quarter last year,and partly offset by higher bank interest income in the second quarter of 2018.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by 38.4% to RMB 156.5million (US$ 23.6 million) compared with RMB 113.0million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher staff wages,consultancy fees and testing-related expenses for new engines.In the second quarter of 2018,the Company incurred higher R&D expenses to further develop engine products compliant with China's National VI emission standards for the truck and bus segments,and Tier 4 off-road product offerings.

Selling,general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by 10.4% to RMB 371.8 million (US$ 56.2 million) from RMB 414.8million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease primarily resulted from lower warranty and freight charges,reversal of allowance for doubtful trade receivables and indirect taxes in the second quarter of 2018. SG&A expenses represented 8.8% of revenue compared with 10.2% in the same quarter last year.

Operating profit increased by 12.2% to RMB 274.5million (US$ 41.5 million) from RMB 244.7million in the second quarter of 2017. The operating margin was 6.5% compared with 6.0% in the second quarter of 2017.

Finance costs increased to RMB 29.6million (US$ 4.5 million) from RMB 16.5million in the second quarter of 2017.Higher finance costs mainly resulted from higher borrowings and bills discounting compared with the second quarter of 2017.

Net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 132.1million (US$ 20.0 million),compared with RMB 133.9million in the same quarter last year.

Impact on adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

The figures presented below are all expressed in thousands.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1,2018. IFRS 15 establishes a five steps model to account for the revenue arising from the contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15,revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring of goods or services to a customer.

The Group has applied the changes in accounting policies retrospectively to each reporting period presented,using the full retrospective approach. Accordingly,the comparative figures in the balance sheet at December 31,2017 and the income statement for the quarter and year-to-date ended June 30,2017 have been restated to reflect the retrospective adjustments upon adoption of IFRS 15.

Warranty obligations

Under IFRS 15,the Group accounts for a service-type warranty as a separate performance obligation to which the Group allocates a portion of the transaction price. The portion of the consideration allocated to the service-type warranty is initially recorded as a contract liability and recognized as revenue over the period which warranty services are provided.

As a result,the Group's income statement for the second quarter of 2017 was restated as follows:

Revenue decreased by RMB 20,725 to RMB 4,626.

Cost of sales increased by RMB 7,927 to RMB 3,597.

Selling,general and administrative cost decreased by RMB 31,759 to RMB 414,838.

Profit after tax was adjusted from RMB 181,662 to RMB 184,769.

Profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent was adjusted from RMB 131,488 to RMB 133,862.

Basic and Diluted earnings per share was adjusted from RMB 3.23 to RMB 3.29.

As a result,the Group's income statement for the first six months ended June 30,2017 was restated as follows:

Revenue decreased by RMB 27,607 to RMB 8,265.

Cost of sales increased by RMB 65,720 to RMB 7,254.

Selling,general and administrative cost decreased by RMB 95,808 to RMB 755,650.

Profit after tax was adjusted from RMB 514,764 to RMB 517,245.

Profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent was adjusted from RMB 380,469 to RMB 382,365.

Basic and Diluted earnings per share was adjusted from RMB 9.35 to RMB 9.39.

The effect of the restatements on the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent was adjusted from RMB 8,347,562 to RMB 8,289.
