BEIJING,Feb. 20,2020 -- Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd.

The management of Hollysys,stated:

Industrial Automation ("IA") business finished the second quarter with revenue and contract at $69.3 million and $69.5 million,achieving 40.1% and 58.2% YOY growth,respectively. For the first half of the fiscal year,IA revenue and contract achieved 25.0% and 23.6% YOY growth,respectively.

In coal fire sector,despite slowdown in new construction market,performance in aftersales remained healthy as we kept responding to various demands from our existing customers in face of the replacement cycle. We offered system upgrade and modification,security product and regular maintenance,etc. that addressed the currently installed solutions in part or in whole.

Our chemical and petro-chemical sector continued to see healthy growth,thanks to our efforts in organization optimization,talent recruitment,marketing and relationship maintenance,etc. With our quality in the previous milestone project being recognized by clients,we moved on to prepare for project quality assessment seminar to seek wider recognition in the industry. To better showcase our capability,we have also constructed a demo center for high-end ethylene project. Meanwhile,we kept improving our solution for the industry through internal R&D and cooperation with external parties. In the oil and gas vertical,we won a new bidding this quarter in providing control solution to the Central Equipment Platform (CEP) of the oil field for CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corporation). It was also the first time that the client has adopted domestic control solution on such production site. Going forward,with successful projects as track record and with solid technology and quality engineering as the gene of the Company,we will maintain close interaction with the client base to gradually spread the concept that Hollysys is a qualified provider for the chemical and petro-chemical industry.

In smart factory sector,our boiler combustion optimization solution,a solution within our industrial software matrix tailored-developed for power-generating-related business,has gained wider acceptance. The solution was widely welcomed by our customers,as we have received numerous feedbacks from customers acknowledging the value of our solution in cutting production cost and improving production stability. We are continuing our internal R&D effort while also actively collaborating with external parties along the value chain to expand and improve the solution within our industrial software matrix.

Under the "3+1+N" strategy,we continued the effort to integrate internal sales platform for better cross selling. We expect such effort will put us in a better position to utilize the specialties of each member company for the offering of total solution of the Company. Meanwhile,we signed an EPC contract in December for a chemical project,in which we assumed the role as the general contractor. Such contract marked a step further toward our vision of offering comprehensive solution covering project full life cycle.

Rail business finished the second quarter with revenue and contract at $78.8 million and $104.2 million,recording 24.1% YOY growth and 39.8% YOY decrease,revenue and contract recorded 8.4% YOY growth and 48.8% YOY decrease,respectively.

In high-speed rail sector,we signed contracts of 40 sets of C3 ATP this quarter. Meanwhile,we kept responding to the replacement demand of our customers. In project delivery,several new lines commenced operation this quarter,including Wuhan-Shiyan line,Zhengzhou-Xiangyang section of the Zhengzhou-Wanzhou line,Zhengzhou-Fuyang line,Qianjiang-Zhangjiajie-Changde line,Beijing-Zhangjiakou line and Zhangjiakou-Datong line. Solutions that we have provided to these lines include TCC (Train Control Center),RBC (Radio Block Center),TSRS (Temporary Speed Restriction System) and LEU (Lineside Electronic Unit),etc.

In subway sector,we signed an SCADA contract for Kunming Subway line 5. In project delivery,we completed the Chengdu subway line 5 SCADA project and were honored with the title "outstanding equipment provider". We have also fully delivered Phase one of Hohhot subway line 1 cloud-based SCADA project. In this project,though given limited execution time,we have showcased our consistency in quality engineering. Through optimizing system deployment and promoting better standardization in early stage,we have improved efficiency in design and product delivery,while paving the way for easier maintenance afterwards.

In subway signaling sector,we signed a contract in October to provide CBTC to a 3-kilometer-long tramcar transportation within Kunming Changshui Airport. With a value of around 25 million RMB,this is a milestone contract in which the total function of our CBTC was fully applied in the field.

Going forward,our rail business will continue to adhere to the diversity strategy for stable and healthy growth and to improve our local service network for more value-adding and differentiated services. With urbanization as an ongoing process,we will keep leveraging our strong R&D capacity and prepare for the application of various types of railway transportation systems in the future.

M&E business finished the quarter with revenue and contract at $22.0 million and $12.0 million,recording 39.7% and 67.2% YOY decrease respectively. For the first half of the fiscal year,revenue and contract recorded 46.4% and 11.0% YOY decrease respectively.

Given the macro economy in Southeast Asia and the Middle East,risk control remains to be the key focus of our M&E business. In our direct sales and overseas EPC project,progress is constantly made in terms of establishment of new cooperation with new key EPC players as well as ongoing cooperation with existing partners.

To prepare our overseas business for the new era of development,further actions were taken following the upgrade of our Singapore overseas headquarter in mid-2019. We have recently undertaken organization adjustment and appointed a new head to lead the Singapore headquarter. With those actions taken as a beginning,we expect to upgrade our overseas business with improved management,marketing,R&D capability and deeper localization,and to create better synergy between all overseas businesses.

In response to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus,the Company has taken necessary actions to minimize the risk of spread of disease and adverse effects on the Company's business operation. Since late January,we have been monitoring the health condition of our employees through on-going online survey. Starting from early February,we have been implementing a two-week-long work-from-home scheme. Meanwhile,we have set forth general rules of action for operation in each of our bases for precautionary purpose. For particular urgent projects covering R&D,production and engineering,staff has been requested for on-site work in accordance with the rules of action. Going further,we are planning to gradually resume on-site work with the staff density in our bases being prudently controlled. However the potential downturn brought by and the duration of the coronavirus is difficult to assess or predict where actual effects will depend on many factors beyond our control. We are closely monitoring its impact on us. Our business,results of operations,financial conditions and prospects could be adversely affected directly,as well as to the extent that the coronavirus harms the Chinese economy in general.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating our results,the non-GAAP measures of "Non-GAAP cost of integrated contracts","Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses","Non-GAAP other income (expenses),net","Non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd.stockholders","Non-GAAP basic earnings per share",and "Non-GAAP dilutedearnings per share"serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as a replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors,as they exclude thenon-cash share-based compensation expenses,whichis calculated based on the number of sharesor optionsgranted and the fair valueas of the grant date,and fair value adjustments of a bifurcated derivative. 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. In addition,given the business nature of the Company,it has been a common practice for investors to use such non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
