SINGAPORE,Feb. 23,2023 -- China Yuchai International Limited(NYSE: CYD) ("China Yuchai" or the "Company"),a leading manufacturer and distributor of engines for on- and off-road applications in China through its main operating subsidiary,Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited ("GYMCL"),wishes to announce today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the 2022 second half-year ("2H 2022") and fiscal year ("FY 2022") ended December 31,2022. The financial information presented herein for the second half year and fiscal year of 2022 and the second half year ("2H 2021") and fiscal year ("FY 2021") ended December 31,2021 is reported using the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Financial Highlights for 2H 2022

Revenue was RMB 7.5 billion (US$ 1.1 billion) compared with RMB 8.6 billion in 2H 2021;

Gross profit was RMB 1.3 billion (US$ 182.4 million) compared with RMB 1.3 billion in 2H 2021. Gross margin was 17.0% in 2H 2022 compared with 15.4% in 2H 2021;

Operating profit grew by 41.2% to RMB 231.3 million (US$ 33.2 million) compared with RMB 163.8 million in 2H 2021;

Basic and diluted earnings per share increased by 565.2% to RMB 3.06 (US$ 0.44) compared with RMB 0.46 in 2H 2021;

Total number of engines sold decreased by 18.1% to 140,345 units compared with 171,449 units in 2H 2021.

Revenue was RMB 7.5 billion (US$ 1.1 billion) compared with RMB 8.6 billion in 2H 2021.

The total number of engines sold by GYMCL in 2H 2022 declined by 18.1% to 140,449 units in 2H 2021. The decrease was mainly due to lower engine sales in the truck,bus,marine and power generation application markets,partially offset by higher sales in agricultural and industrial engines.

According to data reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAM"),in 2H 2022,commercial vehicle unit sales (excluding sales of gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) decreased by 26.3% compared to 2H 2021,as sales of trucks and buses declined by 27.5% and 18.4% respectively,reflecting weak demand in these market segments.

Gross profit was RMB 1.3 billion (US$ 182.4 million),compared with the same amount of RMB 1.3 billion in 2H 2021. Gross margin increased to 17.0% as compared with 15.4% in 2H 2021. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to a change in revenue mix with an increase in off-road segment over the on-road segment,cost reductions,and lower sales rebates.

Other operating income increased by 22.9% to RMB 251.3 million (US$ 36.1 million) compared with RMB 204.5 million in 2H 2021. The increase was mainly due to higher government grants.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses decreased by 19.7% to RMB 428.0 million (US$ 61.4 million) compared with RMB 533.1 million in 2H 2021 due to lower R&D expenses incurred in commercial vehicle engines that were partially offset by higher R&D expenses incurred in marine engines and power generation engines and new energy products. Total R&D expenditures,including capitalized costs,were RMB 540.8 million (US$ 77.6 million) representing 7.3% of revenue in 2H 2022,as compared to RMB 712.2 million representing 8.3% of revenue in 2H 2021.

Selling,general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased slightly to RMB 862.1 million (US$ 123.8 million) from RMB 835.9 million in 2H 2021. The increase was mainly due to increased warranty expenses compared with the same period last year. SG&A expenses represented 11.6% of revenue for 2H 2022 compared with 9.7% in 2H 2021.

Operating profit rose by 41.2% to RMB 231.3 million (US$ 33.2 million) from RMB 163.8 million in 2H 2021. The operating margin was 3.1% compared with 1.9% in 2H 2021.

Finance costs declined by 15.3% to RMB 40.2 million (US$ 5.8 million) from RMB 47.5 million in 2H 2021.

The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures was a profit of RMB 1.8 million (US$ 0.3 million) compared with a loss of RMB 108.4 million in 2H 2021. This gain was largely due to higher profit at the MTU Yuchai Power Company Limited and the share of lower losses at Y&C Engine Co. Ltd.

Income tax expense was RMB 2.6 million (US$ 0.4 million) as compared with an income tax credit of RMB 42.4 million in 2H 2021. The change was mainly due to the higher taxable income in 2H 2022.

Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB 124.9million (US$ 17.9 million) compared with RMB 19.0million in 2H 2021.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB 3.06 (US$ 0.44) compared with RMB 0.46 in 2H 2021.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2H 2022 and 2H 2021 were based on a weighted average of 40,858,290 shares.

The total number of engines sold by GYMCL in FY 2022 decreased by 29.7% to 321,791 units in FY 2021. The decrease was mainly due to weakness in the truck and bus markets,and the markets of marine and power generation engines.

GYMCL continued with its initiatives to improve engine performances and the qualities of its engines compliant with China's National VI and Tier 4 emission standards,and to develop new energy products. In FY 2022,total R&D expenditures including capitalized costs were RMB 1.0 billion (US$ 146.1 million) compared with RMB 1.2 billion in FY 2021,representing 6.4% of the revenue compared with 5.5% in FY 2021.

SG&A expenses were RMB 1.6 billion (US$ 231.4 million) representing 10.1% of the revenue compared with RMB 1.8 billion,representing 8.3% of the revenue in FY 2021. This decrease was mainly due to lower freight,personnel and warranty expenses.

Finance costs decreased by 17.6% to RMB 95.5 million (US$ 13.7 million) from RMB 115.9 million in FY 2021.

The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures was a loss of RMB 29.1 million (US$ 4.2 million) compared with a loss of RMB 95.9 million in FY 2021. The decreased loss was primarily attributable to higher profit at the MTU Yuchai Power Company Limited and the share of lower losses at Y&C Engine Co. Ltd.

Income tax expense was RMB 59.1 million (US$ 8.5 million) as compared with RMB 43.8 million in FY 2021.

Mr. Weng Ming Hoh,President of China Yuchai,commented,"Our results once again demonstrated the strong resilience of our businesses in selling into diversified engine markets."

"Market demand for trucks and buses was down significantly in the second half and for the full year of 2022. Chinese economic growth was weak in 2022 and investment in the property markets declined affecting demand for trucks. In addition,slower global economic growth also affected Chinese exports. The COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdowns and travel restrictions impacted the supply chain and affected commercial vehicle production in 2022."

"However,many COVID-19 restrictions have recently been rescinded creating more opportunities for growth in the future. We continued to maintain a strong balance sheet despite the weak operating environment," Mr. Hoh concluded.

*Comparatives

The Group enters into contractual arrangements with certain customers that entitle them to sales rebates

based on sales volume achieved in the financial year. The management has determined that it is more

appropriate to net such sales rebates with the receivables due from these customers in the same financial

year. Where receivables have been settled,such sales rebates will then be classified as refund liabilities.

Accordingly,the comparative figures in the balance sheet as of December 31,2021 had been adjusted to

conform with current's year presentation. The changes to 2021 comparatives have no impact on the income

statement,net current assets and net assets of the Group.
