(4) Marketing model
The Company mainly adopts the direct sales model, selling the products in both domestic and
international markets to downstream customers, mainly large and well-known domestic and international
lithium battery manufacturers and other end customers. Due to the complex material system of lithium-
ion batteries, the power lithium-ion battery has undergo extensive research and development, and requires
high precision control in the manufacturing process. Cathode material suppliers are required to provide
supporting technical solutions and professional and timely technical support and services under different
material systems and control systems, so as to ensure the excellent quality of lithium-ion battery products.
In order to solve the problems of wide distribution of customers, high development speed and large

and South Korea, and offices in Ningde, Shenzhen and South Korea have been set up, so as to maximize
the use of market resources, realize the rapid response of product technology, product quality and logistics
transportation, and quickly respond to customer requirements. For strategic customers, customized
production can be further provided according to their specific requirements for product technical
parameters, in order to meet their requirements for stable product supply and high performance.
(1) The development stage, basic characteristics and main technical thresholds of the industry
Thanks to the Peak Carbon and Carbon Neutrality policies, new energy is developing rapidly
worldwide. The lithium-ion battery cathode material industry in which the Company engaged is a key
material industry in the new energy, new material and new energy vehicle segments. The explosion of the
new energy vehicle market drives the rapid expansion of the lithium battery industry. The cathode material
is one of the key materials in lithium batteries and the cathode material industry is in a stage of rapid
development, featuring robust demand in the current and future downstream and terminal markets.
In 2022, the increasing heat of LFP batteries and high-nickel ternary batteries was seen in the global
installed capacity of power batteries, and LMFP and sodium cathode materials started to show an emerging
edge. Driven by low cost, high safety and the growth of the energy storage market, the installed capacity
of LFP batteries has increased significantly year-on-year. Due to the price restriction of lithium and nickel,
high-nickel ternary batteries have a slowdown in permeability growth, but secure a stable position as one
of the mainstream technologies thanks to high density energy. LMFP has excellent comprehensive
properties and is expected to replace medium- and low-nickel ternary materials and part of lithium iron;
sodium cathode materials have been preliminarily applied in energy storage and low-speed power fields,
and are expected to replace LFP and lead-acid batteries in some fields by virtue of their low cost, high
safety and excellent low-temperature performance.
In the long run, the development of power batteries needs to take into accountcost and energy density
goals, and the two technical paths represented by LMFP and high-nickel ternary batteries are the most
clear. Compared with LFP batteries, LMFP batteries have higher density energy, and retain the safety and
low cost properties of LFP cells. The high-nickel battery path can significantly reduce the material cost
and ensure high specific capacity. Thanks to the more competitive per-watt-hour cost and the continuous
emergence of innovative technology in lithium battery structure, high-nickel batteries, as the mainstream
choice of high-end models and long-endurance models of domestic and foreign OEMs, undoubtedly have
a trend of long-term expansion in market application.
At present, the high-nickel ternary cathode material industry has a high technical threshold, mainly
reflected in the development technical barriers, production technical barriers and quality certification
barriers. The high R&D technical threshold requires not only technical modification such as doping and
cladding, but also calcination under oxygen, which puts forward increasingly higher requirements on
production line design ability, personalized product development ability, technical service ability, and
more stringent requirements on humidity control of the production environment, corrosion resistance and
automation level of equipment.
Furthermore, high-nickel ternary cathode material is one of the most important raw materials in
power batteries, which has a great impact on the core performance and safety performance of power
batteries. Considering product stability and safety, automobile enterprises and power battery enterprises
have more complex certification and testing procedures for NCM811, NCA and other products. Not only
long-term product performance testing is required, the comprehensive supply ability, automatic production
management level, low cost, quality stability and consistency of mass production of manufacturers must
be assessed in detail. The overall certification cycle will last more than 2 years.
(2) Analysis of the Company’s position in the industry and its changes
During the reporting period, based on the new integration strategy, the Company transformed and
upgraded into a comprehensive cathode material supplier covering the whole market. While firmly
following the high-nickel route, the Company has actively built its presence in LMFP and sodium battery
materials, and expanded their application fields to the high-, medium - and low-end power, small power,
energy storage and digital markets, growing into the fastest transforming cathode material company.
According to the statistics of ICC, the cumulative output of domestic ternary materials in 2022 was
of ICC further shows that in 2022, the domestic market share of the Company’s high-nickel ternary
cathode material reached 33%, ranking first in the industry for three consecutive years, and maintaining
the first global market share for two consecutive years, taking an expanding lead. During the reporting
period, the Company built a high nickel production capacity of 250,000 tons, leading the world in
production capacity, and completed and put into operation the first overseas high-nickel cathode
production capacity project in China’s cathode industry—the base in South Korea, advancing the
production capacity globalization process of China’s cathode industry. The leading customers of the
Company’s high-nickel products are CATL, Farasis, SVOLT, SK on, EVE and other well-known lithium-
ion battery manufacturers at home and abroad. As the major high-nickle cathode supplier of CATL and
Farasis, the Company has made its high-nickle products into the international mainstream customer supply
system, taking the lead in the large-scale application of new energy vehicle power batteries in the world.
In 2022, the Company realized the rapid entry into the LFP track through the acquisition of Skyland.
As the only enterprise in the world to achieve mass production of LMFP, the Company is a leader in the
development and certification of existing products for many mainstream customers at home and abroad.
The background of high lithium price provides a strategic opportunity for the industrialization of sodium-
ion batteries. Through self-research, the Company has comprehensively laid out three technical focuses
of layered oxide, Prussian blue/white and polyanion, and completed submitted sample verification with
dozens of downstream customers. With industry-leading comprehensive development capability and a
mass production schedule, the Company has a commanding lead in the fastest commercialization of
layered oxide technology route.
In 2023, the Company"s production capacity layout in China and Korea will be gradually
implemented, and the strategic planning research in Europe and America will be gradually carried out.
The Company will continue to promote technology upgrading and new product development and
application, firmly implement the new integration strategy, closely follow the industry trend, and
consolidate its position as the world’s leading cathode material supplier.
(3) The developments and future trends of new technologies, new industries, new business
forms and new models during the reporting period
During the reporting period, the new energy vehicle market developed rapidly, and the performance
requirements of power batteries and energy storage batteries continued to improve. As one of the cores of
new energy power batteries, cathode material directly affects the energy density, cycle, rate, internal
resistance and other performance indicators of the batteries, which is a high cost part of lithium/sodium
batteries. The following are the developments and future trends of new technologies during the reporting
period:
The 4680 battery is a new cylindrical battery with a diameter of 46mm and a height of 80mm. It is
suitable for medium- and high-end passenger cars. The battery adopts the tabless, large cell design and
dry battery technology to improve work efficiency and safety, and offers the advantages of high energy
density, low cost, high safety and long life. According to public market data, the single cell capacity and
power of the 4680 battery have been increased by 5and 6 times, respectively, and the driving range has
been increased by 16% and the cost has been reduced by 14% at the vehicle level. The large-scale process
improvement has achieved efficiency and cost reduction. The core difficulties of this technical path are
mainly reflected in the welding process, dry battery electrode technology and yield. In 2022, Tesla 4680
battery increased the product yield from 20% at the beginning to 92% through technological improvement,
and the weekly production capacity of 4680 battery reached 868,000, breaking through the bottleneck of
yield. The year 2023 is expected to be the first year of mass production.
The high safety 4680 cylindrical battery is adapted to the high density system, its packaging structure
features high thermal safety and mechanical properties, greatly reducing the risk of high-nickel ternary
applications. Currently, the 4680 battery mainly uses NCM811 cathode, and the subsequent use of ultra-
high nickel Ni90 in replacement of NCM811 can also achieve cost reduction and efficiency. With 4680
battery to achieve mass production and production line expansion, high-nickel ternary material will be the
first to benefit. As China’s first cathode material manufacturer realizing NCM811 series product mass
production and application in the international mainstream terminal carmakers, the Company will embrace
broad market opportunities from 4680 battery mass production and application.
Sodium-ion battery
The sodium-ion battery is a secondary battery with a cost reduction of 30% to 40% compared with
the LFP battery. It also offers excellent low temperature performance by a capacity retention rate of more
than 88% at the -20℃ low temperature test, much higher than that of the LFP battery. In the future, it is
expected to be widely used in energy storage, low-speed electric vehicles, two-wheeled electric vehicles,
electric boats and other fields with low energy density requirements but strong cost sensitivity. In the
context of high-priced lithium and the outburst of key energy storage scenarios in 2022, sodium-ion
batteries with similar working principles to lithium-ion batteries flourished. Demand pull and technical
thrust have become the key points of sodium-ion battery industrialization from 0 to 1.
The current mainstream cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries are layered oxides, Prussian blue
analogues, polyanionic compounds, etc. With its simple preparation method, easy mass production and
conversion, high energy density and high rate performance, layered oxide is the main layout focus of
domestic enterprises and is expected to be the first to realize industrialization. Prussian compounds have
the advantages of low cost and high specific mass energy density. Polyanionic compounds offer the main
advantages of low cost of raw materials, stable structure and good cycling performance. At present, the
sodium-ion battery cathode material presents the situation of co-existence of multiple routes.
Now the Company is comprehensively laying out three technical focuses of layered oxide, Prussian
blue/white and polyanion, and has completed submitted sample verification with dozens of downstream
customers, showing industry-leading comprehensive development capability and mass production
schedule.
LMFP battery
The LMFP battery is an upgrade of the LFP battery, and a new type of phosphate lithium-ion battery
cathode material formed by doping a certain proportion of manganese on the basis of lithium iron
phosphate. High energy density is a core strength of the LMFP battery compared with the LFP battery.
The LMFP battery has an energy density of about 15% higher, offering a higher voltage platform and
retaining the safety and low-cost properties of LFP cells. With the progress of modification technologies
such as carbon coating, nanocrystallization and lithium supplement technology, the conductive properties
that restricted the development of LMFP in the past have been improved, and the industrialization process
has been accelerated. According to market estimates, LMFP will be stably mass produced in China in 2023,
and extensively applied to electric vehicles. The Company has realized the mass production of LMP
through the acquisition of Skyland, and is actively working with downstream customers on certification,
topping the list in development progress.
Lithium-rich manganese-based cathode material
The lithium-rich manganese-based material features cheap manganese as the main transition metal
element, with a discharge specific capacity up to 250 mAh/g or above,and a higher mass energy density
compared with LFP, NCM and NCA. With a current actual capacity of about 1.5 times of that of currently
commercialized cathode materials, the lithium-rich manganese-based material can improve the power
battery’s life. With a nickel content only about 30% of that of the ternary materials and no cobalt element,
it requires low cost.
At present, the lithium-rich manganese-based material is still in the research and development stage,
and technical problems such as improving magnification performance, inhibiting voltage attenuation of
the cycle and storage process are yet to be addressed. If technical bottlenecks are solved, the lithium-rich
manganese-based material will become the next generation lithium-ion battery cathode material with great
potential, to be widely used in automobiles, energy storage, small power and digital fields.
Solid-state battery
The biggest difference between solid state lithium batteries and traditional lithium batteries is the
electrolytes. While traditional lithium batteries use a diaphragm and electrolyte with a liquid substance in
between, solid-state batteries utilize solid electrolyte. Solid-state lithium batteries are safer and have a
higher energy density than traditional lithium batteries.
Solid-state battery electrolytes in use or close to commercial use include polymers, sulfides and
oxides. Among them, the oxide electrolyte has the best air stability and is widely used in solid-state
batteries with a solid-liquid mixed system, requiring low cost. The main drawback is that the interface
contact problem has not been solved perfectly. Oxide electrolytes are more suitable for power batteries.
Now most of the domestic enterprises choose the technical route of the oxide system, with steadily
improved manufacturing processes and modification levels. Furthermore, sulfide system electrolytes with
ionic conductivity comparable to liquid electrolytes solution shows higher rate performance in the all-
solid-state system. The leading cell and carmakers in Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States are
actively rolling out the sulfide all-solid-state battery business. Due to the narrow electrochemical window
based on sulfide electrolyte and poor stability of electrolyte and cathode and anode interfaces, further
improvements are required to realize industrialization.
Based on the intrinsic defects of electrolytes, the Company has prepared solid electrolytes with high
ionic conductivity, developed the ternary cathode material suitable for solid-state batteries, improved the
compatibility of the ternary cathode and solid-state electrolyte interface, which has been highly recognized
by downstream customers at home and abroad.
During the reporting period, the global new energy vehicle market demand maintained a rapid growth
trend. According to the data in the White Paper on the Development of China’s New Energy Vehicle
Industry (2023), global sales of new energy vehicles reached 10.824 million vehicles in 2022, up by 61.6%
year on year. According to statistics from GGII and other organizations, the global shipments of ternary
cathode materials in 2022 were about 980,000 tons, with a year-on-year growth of 55%. The global
shipments of high-nickel cathode materials were about 328,000 tons, with a year-on-year growth of 64%.
The market of the ternary cathode materials continues the trend of high-nickel cathode materials, and the
product upgrading keeps accelerating.
Benefiting from the robust demand from downstream battery enterprises, the accelerated launch of
high energy density models by mainstream carmakers in Europe and the United States, as well as the
continuous improvement of profitability through technological progress and supply chain optimization,
the Company achieved a significant improvement in performance in 2022. During the reporting period,
the Company realized the operating revenue of RMB 30.123 billion, with a year-on-year growth of
on year.

customer structure
In 2022, the total sales volume of the Company’s high-nickel series 8 and above ternary cathode
products came up to nearly 90,000 tons, with a year-on-year growth of 70.13%. Among them, cutting-
edge materials such as high-nickel, low-cobalt and ultra-high nickel materials had achieved a 1,000-ton
shipment. The data from ICC further shows that in 2022, the domestic market share of the Company’s
high-nickel ternary cathode material reached 33%, ranking first in the industry for three consecutive years,
and maintaining the first global market share for two consecutive years, taking an expanding lead. During
the reporting period, the Company built a high nickel production capacity of 250,000 tons, and four
cathode material bases in Ezhou and Xiantao of Hubei Province, Zunyi of Guizhou Province and Chungju
in South Korea.
During the reporting period, the Company actively expanded the customer base, and established
partnerships with domestic new-energy vehicle enterprises and mainstream European and American
carmakers to develop cutting-edge products.
(2) Merged and conducted an integrated layout of LMFP enterprises, taking an industry-leading

the only enterprise to achieve mass production of LMFP, producing 3C digital, power batteries and other
products in the market, and taking a leading position in product development for many well-known battery
customers at home and abroad.
(3) Launched the pioneering new strategic product—sodium-ion battery cathode material, showing
industry-leading comprehensive development capability and a mass production schedule.
As a new battery material, the sodium-ion battery cathode material has significantly improved
product competitiveness compared with traditional materials, and is expected to be extensively applied in
the low-end power battery market, energy storage market, 3C and small power market in the future. Now
the Company has comprehensively laid out three technical focuses of layered oxide, Prussian blue/white
and polyanion, and has completed submitted sample verification with dozens of downstream customers,
with a sodium-ion battery cathode material capacity of about 1.5 tons/year. During the reporting period,
the Company cumulatively sold dozens of tons of sodium-ion battery cathode materials, showing industry-
leading comprehensive development capability and a mass production schedule.
(4) Advanced the strategic layout of globalization rapidly, and made remarkable progress in the
development of production capacity and customers in South Korea.
The Company’s Chungju Base in South Korea is the first high-nickel cathode production capacity
project built by Chinese enterprises overseas, and South Korea’s production capacity is obviously scarce.
On the one hand, Chinese exports to the United States will be subject to a 25% tariff, while exports
to Europe will be subject to a 6% tariff. South Korean products exported to European and American
markets are entitled to the zero tariff policy.
On the other hand, under the Inflation Reduction Act announced in August 2022, the United States
plans to invest 370 billion U.S. dollars in the climate and clean energy sectors, and some 20 countries,
including South Korea and Australia, that have signed free trade agreements with the U.S. will receive a
certain percentage of subsidies for their products. Compared with those produced by the China precursor
material production base, the precursors produced by the Chungju Base in South Korea meet the
requirements of the Act on qualified key minerals, and can receive a tax credit of 3,750 U.S. dollars/vehicle.
Compared with the cathode materials produced by the China cathode material production base, the cathode
materials produced by the Chungju Base in South Korea do not fall under the prohibitions stipulated in
the Act and are expected to receive a tax credit of U.S. dollars/vehicle for battery packs under the Act.
Therefore, the production capacity layout of the Chungju Base in South Korea is of strategic significance.
During the reporting period, the Chungju Base in South Korea has built a production capacity of
verification by mainstream customers in Japan, South Korea and the United States, which has the basis
for volume expansion. At present, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in European and North
American markets is significantly lower than that in China. As the Company is advancing its
internationalization strategy rapidly, its products are mainly applied in overseas markets, embracing huge
space for future development.
(5) Unfolded research on cutting-edge technologies, taking a lead in R&D
The Company’s high-nickel and ultra-high nickel multi-product sequence R&D technologies lead the
industry. The cutting-edge lithium-rich manganese-based samples have passed customer certification, and
the pilot test of the spinel nickel manganese product has been completed. The related products manifest
excellent performance in capacity, recycling and rate. The quality and energy density of solid-state battery
cathode materials have greatly improved, which has been recognized by domestic and international solid-
state battery customers.
The problems of residual alkali and high pH value, serious gas production, poor recycling of sodium-
ion battery layered oxide cathode materials have been overcome, and the Company has taken the lead in
realizing the mass production finalization of several types of sodium-ion battery layered oxide cathode
materials in the industry. Various technical indicators have been evaluated by different customers and are
at the forefront of the industry.
The LMFP materials have been certified by multiple mainstream customers at home and abroad,
taking the lead in the world to achieve 1,000-ton mass production and shipment. Meanwhile, technical
breakthroughs in the new generation high ferromanganese ratio products and LFM and ternary blended
products have been made, realizing small-scale mass production, and the products of some customers have
entered the batch stability test stage.
(6) Set a new high in the number of patents applied, establishing an improved intellectual property
protection system
The Company has constantly strengthened scientific research and innovation efforts, and trained
scientific research and innovation talents. As it develops new materials and new technologies while
deepening the advantages of high-nickel materials, a wide intellectual property protection network
centered on the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain has been established. In 2022, the
Company applied for 604 patents in total, 346 of which were awarded, continuously upgrading the
Intelligence First concept. The Company has obtained a large number of independent intellectual property

It is imperative to transform the global energy pattern into new energy. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, energy storage and other fields, the
market forecasts that the lithium battery industry will grow by more than 10 times in the next decade.
The development of the industry drives innovation in battery structure. The 4680 cylindrical battery and CTP battery further innovate the power battery structure
and promote the wide application of high-nickel and ultra-high-nickel cathode material technology. Tesla has launched the 4680 cylindrical battery which increases
the energy of a single battery by 5 times, improves the mileage by 16%, and reduces the cost by 14%. It will be released in large quantities soon. CALT has released
the CTP battery (CTP3.0) which has a maximum volume space utilization rate of 72%, increases the energy density of the ternary battery system to 255Wh/kg, and
offers a vehicle endurance over 1000km. The mass production of the CTP battery has been realized, which will further drive demand for the Company’s high-nickel
and ultra-high-nickel cathode material products.
The Company anticipates that cathode materials will be developed in the direction of low cost and high energy density while meeting high safety requirements.
High-nickel ternary batteries are mainly used in the high-end market for new energy vehicles. According to statistics from GGII and other organizations, the penetration
rate of high-nickel materials (series 8 and above) in China will reach 44.7% in 2022, and the ternary market will continue the high-nickel trend, while product upgrading
will continue to accelerate. With the maturity of high-nickel technology, the improvement of yield and the scale development of material system, high energy density
advantage will become prominent, the battery comprehensive cost will be reduced and the market share of high-nickel batteries will be further increased. The highly
cost-effective LMFP and sodium-ion battery cathode materials and other products will be used in the medium- and low-end power battery market and energy storage
market, 3C digital and small power market.
China’s lithium battery and material enterprises are playing an increasingly important role in the global new energy industry chain. According to SNE Research,
the global installed capacity of power batteries in new energy vehicles reached 517.9Gwh in 2022, revealing a year-on-year increase of 71.8%. SNE’s data showed
that six Chinese companies were included in the list of the world’s top 10 battery suppliers in 2022, taking up a combined market share of 60.4%, up by 12% year-on-
year. According to statistics from GGII and other organizations, the global shipments of ternary cathode materials in 2022 were about 980,000 tons, of which 550,000
tons were shipped by China, accounting for about 56% of the world’s total shipments. In 2022, the Company’s ternary cathode materials had a global market share of
about 9%, showing a year-on-year increase of 1%, and ranking first in the world. In the future, the global market share of Chinese enterprises will further increase.
Overseas market demand is growing rapidly, and global reach has become the consensus of the industry. According to the data of the European Automobile
Manufacturers Association, the registered volume of new energy passenger vehicles in 30 European countries reached 2.589 million in 2022, up by 14.6% year on
year. As revealed by the data of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, 913,000 new energy light vehicles were sold in the United States in 2022, up by 41.1% year
on year. With the increasing global attention to and efforts in new energy industry chain, countries have also developed relevant industrial policies to cultivate local
enterprises (such as the IRA Act of the United States). The production capacity on overseas bases helps enterprises to improve their anti-risk ability. The Company
has completed and put into operation the 20,000 tons/year high-nickel cathode material base in South Korea. With a total planned production capacity of 100,000
tons/year, the base will serve mainstream battery and terminal customers in Japan, Korea and the United States.
In 2022, the Company completed its transformation to a comprehensive supplier of cathode materials covering the whole market, and the high-nickel ternary,
LMFP and sodium-ion battery materials will achieve comprehensive coverage of the high-end, medium-end and low-end power battery markets, and energy storage
market, 3C digital and small power markets. Positioned as an operator in the lithium battery new energy material industry, the Company focuses on high-nickel cathode
materials, and builds its presence in LMFP and sodium-ion battery cathode materials to establish a competitive circular industry chain centered on the battery triangle.
The Company carries out comprehensive innovation with a focus on the main business of cathode materials that involves product innovation, process and equipment
innovation, supply chain innovation and management innovation, so as to establish industry barriers between competitors; on the other hand, through strategic
cooperation and capital cooperation, business synergy, innovation synergy and strategic synergy are established with upstream and downstream enterprises, so as to
improve the efficiency of the whole industrial chain, reduce costs, build a competitive industrial chain and achieve win-win results for partners in the industrial chain.
In 2023, the Company will accelerate the strategic layout of globalization which is reflected not only in the industrial layout, but also in the overall spatial layout.
In the future, the Company will explore other overseas markets except China and South Korea. From the perspective of global markets, the penetration rate of new
energy vehicles in China in 2022 was close to 30%, significantly higher than that in other markets. With the improvement of China’s battery technology and
consumption level, the share of high-nickel cathode materials in the Chinese medium and high-end markets will be further improved. At present, the Company’s high-
nickel products are sold to overseas terminal markets through its main battery customers. In 2022, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in the European market
was over 20%, and that in the American market was less than 10%, revealing a great room for growth in the overseas markets. As the Company’s production base in
South Korea is relatively rare in the country, the Company will accelerate the expansion of this base to better serve international customers.
The Company will adhere to the development mission of developing new energy industry, improving human living environment, creating a better future for the
business and employees, and giving back to the community. The vision of the Company is to build a highly commercially civilized new energy industry cluster with
first-class innovation ability.
The new energy industry has maintained rapid growth and is expected to have a growth room of more than 10 times in the future. In 2022, the global installed
capacity of lithium batteries for new energy vehicles was 517GWh. With the increasing demand for new energy vehicles and the outbreak of energy storage market,
the installed capacity of lithium batteries is expected to exceed 6000GWh in 2030, which represents a growth room of more than 10 times compared with 2022.
The current penetration rate of electrification in Europe and America is low, revealing significant structural development opportunities in the overseas markets.
In 2022, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in 30 European countries was 22.9% and that in the United States was 6.7%. The transformation of energy
structure to new energy in Europe and the United States and the increase of penetration rate of electric vehicles are inevitable. Currently, the overall European and
American markets have greater opportunities, and the installed capacity of lithium batteries is growing at a faster rate.
The competition pattern of the cathode material industry will be further concentrated from dispersion. From 2018 to 2022, the market share of ternary cathode
CR5 increased from 48.2% to 59%. In the future, with the finalization of product technology and the continuous expansion of market and product competitive
advantages of large-scale leading enterprises, the market share will be further concentrated.
(1) Upgraded from a high-nickel leader to a platform-oriented and collectivized comprehensive supplier of cathode materials, promoting comprehensive coverage
