The total number of engines sold by GYMCL during the second quarter of 2019 was 110,059 units,an increase of 9.3% compared with 100,675 units in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher engine sales to the truck and off-road segments,particularly unit sales to both the heavy- and light-duty truck market segments which more than offset an overall sales decline in the bus engine segment.

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 2019,sales of buses decreased by 12.0% while truck sales decreased by 14.1%.

Gross margin was 14.7% compared with 18.3% in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was mainly attributable to higher costs incurred in the production of National VI engines at the present stage.

Other operating income was RMB 98.8million (US$ 14.4 million),compared with RMB 33.7million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher government grants in the second quarter of 2019.

Lower R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2019 were mainly due to the capitalization of development costs for National VI and Tier 4 engines that met the IFRS capitalization criteria. In the second quarter of 2019,the R&D capitalization amount was RMB 66.2 million (US$ 9.6 million). The Company continues to further develop its new National VI and Tier 4 engines for the on- and off-road markets,respectively.

Selling,general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 10.0% to RMB 408.9million (US$ 59.5 million) from RMB 371.8million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase primarily resulted from higher warranty expenses,depreciation expenses and personnel-related costs in the second quarter of 2019.

Finance costs increased by 9.3% to RMB 32.4million (US$ 4.7 million) from RMB 29.6million in the second quarter of 2018. Higher finance costs mainly resulted from higher borrowings and bills discounting compared with the second quarter of 2018.

Net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 147.0million (US$ 21.4 million),compared with RMB 132.1million in the second quarter of 2018.
