In the first quarter 2019 results report, the revenue of Fuyao Glass reached RMB4.93 billion
in 19Q1, a slight increase of 3.9% yoy, and the net profit attributable to the parent company

Fuyao Glass`s brilliant profit performance in 2018 is mainly due to the boost from exchange
gains and one-time gains from asset disposal. Benefiting from the devaluation of the RMB,
the Company recorded exchange gains of RMB260 million in the whole year, compared with
exchange losses of RMB390 million in the same period last year. The company sold 75% of
Beijing Futong`s equity, and recorded an investment income of RMB664 million. If such
impact is excluded, the company`s revenue was barely equal, outperforming the clearly
declining industry average.
Q1 of 2019 saw an exchange loss of RMB130 million due to the appreciation of Renminbi,
which was RMB90 million less than the same period of last year. We expected that with the
depreciation of Renminbi, exchange loss would be significantly narrowed or even converted
into exchange gain.
