Beijing, China – May 16, 2023 – Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) (“Hollysys,” the “Company” or “we”), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2023 ended March 31, 2023.

The Industrial Automation segment continued its growth momentum.

In the chemical and petrochemical field, Hollysys continued to provide strong support for green and low-carbon transformation and maintained our cooperation with key customers. In terms of project delivery, we successfully assisted in the full operation of a 100,000-ton green low-carbon methanol factory. We offered integrated solutions of the Distributed Control System, Safety Instrumented System, Coordination Control System, Asset Management System, Operating Data System, Gas Detection System and information security system, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly. This represents another step forward in our efforts to support the national goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in China. Additionally, we reinforced the Hia Advanced Process Control (“Hia APC”) platform in one of our petrochemical customers to optimize the iso-octane unit. This has led to an improvement in the overall automation level of the system, helping to achieve the ultimate goals of energy conservation and emission reduction, while enhancing quality and efficiency and providing a strong basis for the follow-up digital transformation of the petrochemical industry. Moreover, the Sinopec Power Center Simulation Project was successfully put into operation this quarter. This project covers the entire range and the whole process of the Sinopec thermal power plant. The simulation system has overcome the limitations of traditional simulation systems, providing a diversified application platform for new employee training and control strategy verification.

In the electricity field, we provided control systems for stabilizing isolated grids. These systems are suitable for various enterprise-level grid systems and were successfully put into operation at a thermal power company in this quarter. We provided strong technical support and solved the power outage problem encountered by thermal power companies. This successful operation sets an example of multi-party cooperation and network-related cooperation for future isolated grid stability control system projects.

In the smart factory field, we successfully signed a whole-process APC control project for calcium carbide production. This project utilizes Hollysys’ whole-process APC optimization control technology to accurately control various process parameters and ensure the safe and reliable operation of calcium carbide production, achieving the goals of energy conservation and cost reduction. This project represents a breakthrough in the APC control field of calcium carbide furnaces for Hollysys, laying a solid foundation for our market development in this area and even the entire submerged arc furnace industry.

In Rail Transportation segment, Hollysys continues to expand its technology innovation skills and expedite the modernization of railway construction. Our ZPW-2000S communication coding track circuit product, which has been widely deployed on numerous domestic lines, was certified by the Safety Integrity Level 4 and the China Railway Product Certification Center. Meanwhile, our technological achievements have been recognized by the industry. Hollysys won “the First Prize of Science and Technology Award of China Railway Society of 2022” with three scientific and technological accomplishments projects.

The Mechanical and Electrical Solution segment also manifested a stable performance with smooth executions on various projects.

With our continuous dedication to the industry and the support of experienced and passionate experts, we believe that we will continue to create more value for our clients and shareholders.

Operational Results Analysis for the Third Quarter Ended March 31, 2023

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $167.6 million, as compared to $155.7 millon for the same period of the prior fiscal year, representing an increase of 7.7%. In terms of revenues by type, integrated contracts revenue increased by 4.5% to $139.1 million, products sales revenue increased by 45.3% to $10.4 million, and services revenue increased by 17.9% to $18.1 million. Unfavorable impact from depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar has adversely affected our revenues in the past three fiscal quarters. Based on current expectations of Hollysys’ management, such unfavorable foreign exchange rate change is expected to adversely affect our full-year revenue for fiscal year 2023; however, the actual results may differ materially.

The following table sets forth the Company’s total revenues by segment for the periods indicated.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, in evaluating our results, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as any replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures help identify underlying trends in the Company’s business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of the share-based compensation expenses, which are calculated based on the number of shares or options granted and the fair value as of the grant date, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. They will not result in any cash inflows or outflows. We believe that using non-GAAP measures help our shareholders to have a better understanding of our operating results and growth prospects.

Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to gross profit and gross margin, gross profit and gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., basic and diluted earnings per share, or any other measure of performance, or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin of integrated solutions contracts, non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd., as well as non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data. The Company encourages investors and others to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
