SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED
2015 Annual Report Summary
(1) Strengthening sub-divided management lifting corporate management to a new level. Firstly, the overall management of the
Company was comprehensively enhanced through continuously strengthening primary management and measures to improve
systems, inspections and rectifications. Secondly, dynamics for team building were heightened through increased training, position
management and introduction of talents, which produced stronger teams, internal energy and thus significant progress in this respect.
(2) Flexible strategies attaining breakthroughs in marketing. Firstly, team building efforts were revamped. Excellent human resources
were actively introduced under a competition mechanism based on merits. The appraisal methodology was optimised to reward the
diligent. Regular training for all staff was organised and sales personnel were equipped with better theoretical knowledge and
hands-on competence. Secondly, marketing strategies were effective and efficient. The market-based sales work assignment toolkit
significantly enhanced performance while the development of major and new customers was strengthened. Thirdly, structural
optimisation was actively carried out. High value-added products such as cigarette card, cigarette pack, high-bulk white paper board,
rosewood copperplate card, premium electrostatic paper and Biyuntian duplex press paper were prioritised with a view to enlarging
market share.
(3) Proprietary innovations to revamp production and operation. Firstly, the operational efficiency was significantly enhanced. The
operational parameters and technical standards of machinery were standardised and the appraisal methodology was improved to
strengthen real-time control over and adjustment to production lines and enhance efficiency. Secondly, the effect of primary
management was taking shape. Standardised management and processes was consistently adhered to while production management
systems were improved by adding regular inspection and continuous rectification of issues. A competition mechanism based on

management. Thirdly, flexible restructuring produced efficiency. The production of high value-added products such as mid-level
aging resistant paper, high-bulk white paper board for export, Biyuntian electrostatic paper, glassine paper and cigarette card was
boosted to enlarge market share and gain the initiative in the market as well as increase efficiency. Fourthly, quality management was
steadily enhanced. Through the strict implementation of a defective product examination system, wholesale orders for cigarette cards
were received and the market recognition of glassine paper and thermal paper was significantly raised.
(4) Accelerated projects and new blood. During the reporting period, new projects picked up speed. The 300,000-tonne high-end
cultural paper project and the biomass vaporisation upgrade project of Zhanjiang Chenming and the 350,000 food packaging paper
project of Jiangxi Chenming had commenced operation upon completion and became new efficiency growth points of the Company.

operation. The white coated linerboard project of Shouguang Chenming was safely relocated to Zhanjiang. The magnesite project of
Haiming Mining started to install equipment. The pulp and paper project integrated forestry of Huanggang Chenming has

(5) Stronger financing management to create new advantages for the financial segment. In order to proactively adapt to the “new
normal”, the Company put greater efforts in transformation and upgrade through the strategies of being high-end, high-quality and
highly-efficient and by striving to reinforce its principal operations while diversifying its businesses. The Company is a large and
comprehensive modern corporate group mainly engaged in paper making, finance, forestry and real estate businesses while also
involved in mining, energy, logistics, construction materials, hospitality and others. The financial segment made exceptional
contribution for 2015 with significantly higher revenue and operating profit and became a new growth point bearing the strongest and
advantageous profitability. The Company, through innovative financing instruments, registered its first super and short term
commercial paper and perpetual note amounting to RMB13.8 billion and RMB2.6 billion respectively in the interbank market and
entered into a RMB20.0 billion strategic cooperation agreement with the Bank of China, which elevated its cooperation with banks to
a new height.
2. Outlook on the future development of the Company
(I) Competition overview and development trend of the industry
In recent years, on the one hand, with the impact of macroeconomic slowdown, demand was continuously weak in the paper making
industry. On the other hand, new production capacity of the paper making industry had been released together over the past few years,
resulting in the transitional overcapacity of some paper types. Due to fierce competition, product prices continued to decline,
narrowing profit margins of papermaking enterprises.
In the long run, the development conditions of the paper making industry are gradually improving. Elimination of outdated
production capacity and increasingly stringent environmental policies are forcing some small and medium-sized enterprises out of the
market. To some extent, this eases the pressure of new capacity on the supply of the industry, which is conducive for enterprises to
initiate a price rise. For major paper making enterprises, fully utilising advantages of capital, technology and scale to achieve a
change in the growth pattern may help them gain new market share. Meanwhile, with the impact of a weak demand, raw material
prices have been hovering at a low level, easing the pressure of operating costs on paper making enterprises. Eliminating outdated
production capacity will remove obstacles for the industry’s development, while replenishment of and substitution of advanced
production capacity will bring fresh blood and drive to the industry, conductive to a higher concentration ratio to creating a
favourable industry lifecycle.
Under the slowing macro-economic growth and economic transformation, the financial leasing industry as a favoured supplementary
corporate financing channel and an effective tool to use assets at hand embraced continuously mounting market demand and was
stepping into a golden age for its development. As an important bridge between the financial industry and the industries in the real
economy, the financial leasing industry and the modern business model that centres on it will provide substantial capital support to
7
SHANDONG CHENMING PAPER HOLDINGS LIMITED
2015 Annual Report Summary
the upgrade and transformation of the manufacturing industry in China. However, the penetration rate of financial leasing in the
Chinese market is only around 5%, as compared with 20% in the European and US markets in general. The financial leasing industry
in China is at the early stage and has a promising outlook. In fact, it is on a solid track of rapid growth. It is expected that the market
size will reach RMB1,200 billion by 2020. Under the “new normal” of the economy, the financial leasing industry in China has great
development potential as a result of its good growth momentum.
Looking forward, the Company will adhere to the principal of achieving growth amid stability, and emphasise on environmental
protection, low carbon, recycling and sustainable development. Following the “Made in China 2025 Plan” and the principles of
scientific development and quality and efficiency enhancement, it will comprehensively improve its quality and efficiency,
management level, technology application, sense of happiness and brand image through the integration between its production and
manufacture segment and financial services segment, incorporation of smart technology into its industrial activities, reorganised
methodology and restructuring so as to expand and improve itself and strive to become one of the world-class companies with the
highest growth rate in the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan” period.
