BEIJING,April 30,2022 -- Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"),a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China,today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended March 31,2022. Dr. Changli Wang,stated:

"We are pleased to report another fiscal quarter with solid financial and operational performance and carried forward of our mission of automation for better lives,even though the COVID-19 continues bringing challenges,such as the rising raw materials costs and the reduced engineering efficiency. I am confident with a promising business future as I am witnessing the self-motivated and goal-oriented management team and employees,raising jointly and heading towards a more prosperous and vigorous Hollysys with clear overall industrial maps and wise developing plans."

The Industrial Automation ("IA") business maintained its strong momentum with augmented market shares as Hollysys had been poised to capitalize on opportunities of the evolving IA industry and had gained wider market recognition.

In the field of chemical and petrochemical industry,we maintained a fast mounting pace. In this fiscal quarter,Hollysys signed a framework agreement with BASF Group for its largest overseas investment project,Zhanjiang Project for the construction of its third largest integrated production base around the globe. Hollysys is the only domestic automation control system supplier in China for this project,providing Gas Detection System ("GDS") and Safety Instrumented System ("SIS"). Furthermore,Hollysys successfully delivered the Carbon Capture,Utilization and Storage ("CCUS") project of Sinopec Group,in which the Company provided Distributed Control System ("DCS"),SIS,GDS,integrated control system and solution. The project is the first one million ton CCUS project in China,and is expected to become the largest CCUS base and a benchmark project in China after its completion. In the future,the Company will continue to strengthen its advantages and competitiveness,helping chemical and petrochemical customers achieve green energy and low carbon goals.

In the thermal power sector,we continued to strengthen our market position in the high-end market and won the bid of several power contracts. For instance,we signed 2*660MW power units in Yan'an,and 2*660MW power units in Xinlin Gol,among others. Despite the slowdown in the thermal power market,our advanced solutions and matured service help us win the favor,adherence and follow-up cooperation of customers,which will inject new vigor into future after-sell performance. Meanwhile,we are making progress on advanced intelligent technologies in the power sector,which will facilitate customers' construction of low-carbon and environmentally friendly projects. For example,the Jimsar Power Generation Project in which the Company participated had successfully passed the trial operation and embraced considerable satisfaction by the customer. Hollysys developed the "Whole-process Intelligent Collaborative Center" solution for the project that covers four functional modules of smart power generation platform,smart management service platform,smart facility application and active information security defense,aiming to build up a low-carbon,environmentally friendly and technology-leading intelligent power station. The Company also set up a new model for the construction of smart power plants in the whole process of the thermal power industry in China.

In addition,the Company is becoming more influential in the food and pharmaceutical field,which was attributable to its accelerated improvements,upgraded products and solutions,and vast breakthroughs on the development of its business among leading customers in the industry. In this fiscal quarter,Hollysys signed a contract with a customer in the pharmaceutical industry in Hubei,who will employ HOLI comprehensive solution including instruments,Batch Processing System ("BATCH"),Industrial Optical Bus Control System ("OCS"),among others. The Company's solution is expected to help the customer reduce construction costs for users,enhance the reliability and security of the control system and bring remarkable value experience.

In Rail Transportation Automation ("RTA") business,our market position has strengthened,and we take pride in our dedication to national transportation. For example,our technical team dedicated themselves to working at the front line during the Chinese New Year and assisted in maintaining the smooth operation of transportation for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. As the Automatic Train Protection ("ATP") supplier of Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway,Hollysys offered 7x24 hours' world-leading intelligent guard during the events,ensuring the transportation and providing safe,fast,warm and comfortable experience for athletes,coaches and guests around the world. In the metro field,benefiting from our good customer relationships,we won the bid of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ("SCADA") project of Chengdu Metro Ziyang Line after winning the Chengdu 30 Line Project in the last few months. With respect to new market opportunities,Hollysys is seeking to leverage self-competitive advantage to sustain its leading position. Hollysys,as the chief editor,participated in the edit of Technical Standard for Precise Traffic Weather System of Highway (the "Standard"),regulating the structure,function,construction and application of highway traffic meteorological system. The implementation of the Standard is expected to further extend Hollysys' competitiveness,which will boost the development of the industry and help the construction of intelligent highways.

COVID-19remains a challenge to our business,especially to the unit of mechanical and electrical solutions ("M&E") and other overseas business in general. We will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our business,and risk control remains our key focus.

With our continuous dedication and experienced passionate expertise,we believe that we will continue to create greater 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 measuresserve 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,whichare calculated based on the number of sharesor optionsgranted and the fair valueas 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.
