Outlook for the second half of the year: Functional building materials have not yet emerged Greater
pressure on operating results In the second half of 2025, it is expected that the demand in Guangdong and Guangxi, where the Company mainly operates, will rebound slightly. In addition, facing the impact of low-price cement in the surrounding areas, the room for cement price increase is relatively limited, and it is difficult to catch up with the same period. In addition, although the company's artificial stone, natural stone and other functional building materials business has completed the national layout, but has not yet formed a scale effect, the current contribution is small, it is difficult to effectively develop in the short term. To sum up, the company's performance in the second half of the year is facing greater downward pressure. (This article does not constitute investment advice)
