Please read the full annual report and pay particular attention to the following risk factors:
1) Global COVID-19 epidemic risk: The global threat of COVID-19 epidemic has not yet been eliminated,
and there are uncertainties in economic development. If the epidemic situation in the area where the
Company's business is located intensifies, the adverse impact on the Company's business operations will
increase accordingly.
2) Supply chain risks: COVID-19 epidemic and political conflicts have brought adverse impact on the
global raw material supply system. The Company has been making efforts to enhance management for
our supply chain and optimize inventory adjustments and controls. However, if systemic risks arise in the
global supply chain, the Company’s operating capabilities may be affected.
3) Riskof technologyupgrade:Technologies such as artificialintelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing,
and edge computing are developing rapidly. The speed of technology diffusion is accelerating. If the
Company is unable to closely track and adapt to the changes in cutting-edge technologies, or fails to
quickly realize business innovation, the risk of uncertainty in the company's future development will
increase.
4) Risk of internal management: The continual expansion of business scale, the continuous increase of
new products and new businesses, and the continuous growth in total number of employees led to a

management system. The Company’s sustainable development will face certain risks if the management
level fails to proportionally address the Company’s business expansion.
