Sino-Thai viewpoint
China's real estate competition is fierce, and the company is at the forefront of the industry: overall investment in the real estate industry has maintained a momentum of growth due to the rapid growth of the domestic economy and fixed asset investment, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. It grew at a compound annual growth rate of 6.8 per cent from 9.5 trillion yuan in 2014 to 13.2 trillion yuan in 2019. The total floor area sold increased from 1.05 billion square meters in 2014 to 1.5 billion square meters in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4 per cent. China's residential property market is highly fragmented and competitive.

The gross profit margin was 32.2%, 30.2%, 21.8% and 27.3% respectively, which decreased year by year because the increase in the average land acquisition cost per square meter delivered exceeded the increase in the recognized average selling price per square meter. In addition, the projected gross profit margin for 2020 will be lower than that of April 2020 by 27.3%. This is mainly due to the company's expected delivery of a large property project, Hangzhou Jiushang Yunzhu, the high cost of land acquisition and the price control measures taken by local governments. it produces a relatively low profit margin for the rest of 2020; the cost of sales accounts for 67.8%, 69.8%, 78.2% and 73.4% of the revenue for the same period, respectively. The net interest rates are 17.2%, 12.6%, 9.7% and 6.1% respectively; the company's total borrowing consists of interest-bearing bank loans and other loans, priority notes, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities, which are 34.03 billion yuan, 43.17 billion yuan, 49.07 billion yuan and 52.59 billion yuan respectively.
