BEIJING,Aug. 12,2022 --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 fiscal year 2022 and the fourth quarter ended June 30,2022. Dr. Changli Wang,the CEO and director of Hollysys,stated:

"We are delighted to report another fiscal year and the fourth quarter with solid financial and operational performance and firmly adhered to our tenet of automation for better lives,even under an unfavorable environment of the COVID-19 pandemic which constantly brings challenges. We are confident with our outstanding technologies,satisfactory services and established huge customer bases. Looking forward,Hollysys will unswervingly make progress based on the united efforts of our motivated and inspired management team,experts and employees,and will embrace jointly with our customers and investors for a more prosperous and vigorous future."

The Industrial Automation ("IA") business maintained its strong momentum with increased market shares as Hollysys undertook more key and challenging projects,which are expected to relieve the pain points of relevant industries by enhancing the efficiency in operation and contribute to achieving the national carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. In the chemical and petrochemical field,we adhere to the development strategy of enhancing our focus on significant projects in addition to normal projects. For example,a one-million-ton ethylene project was signed in Tianjin in which we will provide over 100,000 and 20,000 input/output ("I/O") points that will be connected to our Optical Bus Control System ("OCS")—the new released version of Distributed Control System ("DCS"),and Safety Instrumented System ("SIS"),along with Gas Detection System ("GDS"),respectively. The success in signing this project proves that Hollysys is capable of supplying control systems for any chemical process,as the advanced control of ethylene is known as the most sophisticated and critical process in the industry. Meanwhile,we present remarkable achievements and maintain our cooperation with national key customers like Sinopec Group and China National Petroleum Corporation ("CNPC"). For instance,a contract of huge SCADA system for the Guangxi Long-distance Natural Gas Pipeline Project was signed with Sinopec. Additionally,Hollysys also provided CNPC with Hia Advanced Process Control ("Hia APC") for producing 450,000 tons of synthetic ammonia / 800,000 tons of urea fertilizer,which as another milestone,was the first set of a 100% domestic control system application in the large chemical fertilizer industry in China.

We have also manifested remarkable performance and witnessed business growth in the valve and instrument market. For example,we signed with a world leading copper pipe and rod manufacturer for a Phase I project of 150,000 tons of high-performance copper foil,in which Hollysys provided holistic customized integrated,intelligent solutions,and over 4000 sets of various types of meters and valves. The project represents another milestone for Hollysys in electrical instrument installation engineering.

We continue our business growth by upgrading the capabilities of products in the pharmaceutical field. For example,a project for a pharmaceutical company was delivered in which Hollysys provided a customized intelligent control system based on HiaBatch. HiaBatch is remarkably flexible and efficient,which facilitates customers to operate more smartly and is highly recognized among customers in the industry. We successively signed new projects,including a Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") Application Programming Interface ("API") pilot test and production project along with the supply of DCS,SIS,electrical instrument and Batch Processing System ("BATCH").

Meanwhile,we constantly upgrade our Engineering Procurement Construction ("EPC") capacity. In the fourth fiscal quarter,we signed two breakthrough EPC projects regarding the whole workshop's engineering,which the lays foundation for our further exploration of EPC projects in the future.

Our business has witnessed continuous development in Indonesia and other overseas markets,and our control system,instruments and technologies are widely recognized. We have signed with Indonesian companies a contract for an electrical instrument engineering project and an additional contract of Phase II DCS and electrical instruments. To further cultivate and grow our business in the Central and Southeast Asia market,Hollysys will persevere in attracting talented people,optimizing market promotion and enhancing its overseas brand image.

In the high-speed rail sector,we continued to deliver on existing projects while retaining our market position. We provided on-ground solutions for Xiangyang East-Wanzhou North high-speed railway and participated in the reconstruction of the Beijing Fengtai Hub,which is now Asia's largest railway hub. Meanwhile,we continued to explore opportunities in service markets,covering replacement and overhaul,upgrades,spare parts sales,etc. The highlight for the service business is the successful launch of China's fifth high-speed railway with an operating speed of 350 km/h,the Shijiazhuang-Wuhan High-speed Railway. In this project,Hollysys actively responded to our client's demand for speed acceleration by upgrading the existing on-board and on-ground products. In the subway sector,our SCADA system for Kunming Subway Line 5 was successfully delivered. This marked another contribution of Hollysys to Kunming rail construction following the successful completion of the Kunming Subway Line 3 project and Kunming Changshui Airport Express project ("Kunming Airport project"),. In the subway signaling business,we won the automated people mover project of the T3B terminal and the fourth runway of Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport. This project,which follows our first subway signaling project—Kunming Airport project—represents another significant advancement for Hollysys in subway signaling. The project will utilize our proprietary GoA4 Fully Automatic Operation system and achieve effective and energy-saving operations. We are grateful for the industry recognition gained from our clients in the past year and we expect to make more contributions to China's urban rail transit system in the future.

The mechanical and electrical solutions ("M&E") segment of the Company manifests a stable performance with our smooth executions on various projects. The risk monitor and control will still be our future focus in this field.

With our continuous dedication to the industry and the support of experienced and passionate experts,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.
