II. Details of Operating Results and Financial Position

IBusiness operation and financial position during the reporting period

Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic and the plunge of oil prices in 2020, oil companies reduced expenditure in upstream exploration and exploitation. The workload of the Company in the main profession decreased year-on-year while the expenses in epidemic prevention increased, resulting in a year-on-year decrease of 0.7 percentage point in the gross profit margin of the principal business. Financial expenses recorded a year-on-year increase of RMB250 million due to exchange rate fluctuations. Due to the abovementioned factors, the Company's consolidated revenue was RMB68,073,394,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.6%, and net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company amounted to RMB78,978,000, representing a year-on-year decrease of

91.4%. Basic earnings per share was RMB0.004, representing a year-on-year decrease of

91.7%. Through the increase in clearance of inventories and account receivable, the strict control of cost and expense and capital expenditure, the Company maintained sound cash flow conditions and the net cash flow in operating activities reached RMB4.47 billion.

IIMain reasons for the rate of increase/decrease by more than 30%

During the reporting period, the operating profit, profit before income tax, net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company, net profit deducted extraordinary gain and loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company and basic earnings per share decreased by 77.4%, 74.36%, 91.4%, 152.9%, 91.7%, respectively, compared with the corresponding period of previous year. Such decreases were mainly due to the facts that oil companies reduced expenditure in upstream exploration and exploitation due to dual impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic and the low oil prices, and the workload of the Company in the main profession decreased year-on-year while the expenses in epidemic prevention of the Company increased.
