In addition to alternative raw materials, the company plans to build alternative fuel projects for each 5000 t/d clinker production line to reduce total energy consumption and carbon emissions. If the above items meet the requirements of the letter, the company will fulfill the obligation of information disclosure in a timely manner.

Recently, Tapai Group has answered questions about the follow-up planning of environmental protection disposal business, aggregate and commercial mixing business planning, 2023 cement market demand prediction and the company's future industrial expansion.

1. From the annual report of 2022, we can see that the company's environmental disposal business is growing faster and the gross profit margin is higher. What is the follow-up plan for the environmental disposal business? Alternative raw materials can not only reduce the supply of raw materials for some companies, optimize ingredients, but also increase the income of disposal costs, which is the company's key development of disposal categories.

In addition to alternative raw materials, The company plans to build each 5000t/d ", The annual report of 2022 shows that the sales of clinker in 2022 increased compared with the previous year. 3 . The gross profit margin of clinker sales in the reporting period was negative, mainly due to the impact of the price decline caused by the periodic increase of clinker sales, and the impact of the high coal price in the reporting period, the cost of clinker sales increased year on year. As a result, the gross profit margin of clinker sales is negative. In

2023, the company will sell clinker according to market conditions and balanced production needs. Recently, the sales price of clinker has increased, and the gross profit margin will increase accordingly.

3. Please introduce the implementation of the photovoltaic power generation project in 2022 and the subsequent planning? The construction scale was not up to expectation due to the available land and building area within the boundary line of the plant area and the difficulty and high cost of external land leasing; the energy storage project has not been formally implemented due to the high cost of investment and construction of energy storage facilities and the low economic return. In the next step, the company will carry out the feasibility study on the reinforcement of the steel structure shed in the plant area to build distributed photovoltaic and the construction of centralized photovoltaic in the leased site, and strive to gradually expand the construction scale of photovoltaic power generation projects.

4. What is the energy consumption level of the company's cement clinker production line in the industry? Over the years, the company has always attached great importance to the energy consumption management of cement clinker production lines. Two 10,000-ton production lines of the company have reached the energy efficiency benchmark level, and five 5,000-ton production lines have reached the energy efficiency benchmark level. The company plans to make the energy efficiency of 5 000 t/d clinker production line reach the benchmark level as soon as possible through technical transformation and the use of alternative fuels within two years.

5. We are concerned that the amount of gains and losses from changes in fair value in the 2022 annual report is-2. The Company has noticed the impact of fluctuations in securities investment on the Company's performance, and has begun to gradually reduce the scale of investment in 2022. The company will strengthen investment risk management and continuously improve investment returns.

6. What are the company's plans for aggregates and commercial mixing? Guangdong Huaxinda Building Material Technology Co., Ltd., a joint venture 45% owned by the company, has an aggregate design capacity of 4 million tons per year, and the raw materials come from the waste rock of Wenhua Mine. Another aggregate production line is under construction, with a planned capacity of 2 million tons per year.

Concrete industry: the company began to enter the commercial concrete industry around 2010. As the competitiveness and economic benefits of the commercial concrete industry were not as good as expected, the company carried out integration and optimization, gradually withdrew, and the scale of the commercial concrete industry was greatly reduced. At present, the company has 13 wholly-owned, holding and participating concrete enterprises.

7. What is the company's future industrial expansion plan? In the main cement industry, we will accelerate the construction of intelligent factories, green mines and first-class safety standard enterprises around the medium and long-term goal of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutralization, so as to continuously improve the competitiveness of enterprises; At the same time, the Company will accelerate the construction progress of the cement kiln co-processing solid waste project, actively promote the development of new industries, explore new industries suitable for the development of the Company, and strive to cultivate new economic growth points of the Company.

8. How to arrange peak-staggering production in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in 2023, and whether the intensity of peak-staggering will be strengthened? Are there any new production capacity in the three provinces?

It is understood that Guangdong and Fujian have no new cement production capacity in 2023, while Guangxi has added more cement production capacity in the past two years, which has a greater impact on the Pearl River Delta market through Xijiang water transport.

9. How does the company judge the cement market demand in 2023? According to the sales data of bagged cement after the Spring Festival, the rural market is also gradually recovering. As an important variable, the real estate market is expected to stabilize and recover in 2023 with the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control measures in December 2022 and the introduction of the "16 Financial Articles" and "Three Arrows" policies to support the development of the real estate industry. In

2023, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian will adhere to the principle of green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the cement industry, and continue to carry out strong peak-shifting production actions. Meanwhile, the coal price is expected to decline steadily, which will also have a positive impact on the cost, and the industry's profitability is expected to usher in a recovery.
