| --- | --- |
The major reasons for the substantial increase in the annual results of the Group in 2021 compared to the corresponding period of the previous year are: In early 2020, due to the dual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the plunge in oil prices, the consumption of petroleum and petrochemical products has shrunk, and the production and operation of the Company have been greatly affected. Since 2021, the demand for petroleum and petrochemical products has significantly improved, which resulted in a rise in the prices of major products. The Company seized the opportunity to optimize its operation, took effective measures to improve performance, and persisted in lowering cost and reducing fees. As a result, the operating performance has been improved significantly.
