"putting investors first", and strive to achieve the goal of high-quality development of
company, issued the Evaluation Report on the 2025 Annual Corporate Value and
Return Enhancement Action Plan and the 2026 Annual Corporate Value and Return
Enhancement Action Plan on 31 March 2026, conducted a periodic review of the
implementation progress and results of the plan. The interim evaluation of the
progress of the action plan is hereby announced as follows:
I: Focusing on Core Business and Improving Operational Quality
In 2026, the Company closely adhered to the strategic theme of strengthening our core
business and systematically advanced the dual improvement of operational efficiency
and profitability. In the first half of 2026, the Company generated revenue of
RMB9.266 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 21.85% compared with the
first half of 2025; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was
RMB822 million, up by 21.62% year-on-year; and net profit attributable to
shareholders of the listed company after deducting non-recurring gains and losses was
RMB753 million, up by 24.81% year-on-year.
Since 2025, we have upgraded our core strategy from "Channel-Driven" to "New
Product-Driven", and shifted our value realization path from "Cost Reduction and
Efficiency Enhancement" to "Quality and Efficiency Enhancement", placing greater
emphasis on building differentiated competitive barriers through product innovation
and quality upgrading. Against this backdrop, we continued to roll out new products
and near-new products with higher gross margins and greater market competitiveness
to our distributors, optimizing their profit structure; at the same time, by advancing
the construction of star-rated retail stores and implementing the "KOL" Cultivation
Initiative to empower our distributors in localized content marketing and short-video
traffic generation, we have adopted multiple measures to improve the operational
efficiency and market responsiveness of our channel terminals.
From 2025 to the first half of 2026, the Company's newly-developed products and
recently-launched products delivered strong market performance. The Lock-Fresh
product line, as high-margin products for individual customers, has seen simultaneous
revenue and profit growth for consecutive years. This product line has now been
updated to version 6.0, with the addition of multiple new strip - and stick-shaped
products suitable for various home cooking scenarios, such as hot pots and
home-cooked stir-fries; the 400g vacuum sealed exquisite series successfully entered
the mid-range price segment and achieved higher growth rates; the 100g paste
products delivered outstanding performance, with the shrimp paste series being a key
entry point for the cooperation with major supermarket chains and gaining particular
market recognition; meaty sausage series, as a key product strategically entering the
grilled sausage market for individual consumers, became a new growth engine;
tiger-skin fried eggs effectively facilitated the Company to expand into new channels,
such as spicy poached dishes and Maocai, with the differentiated form compared to
traditional meatball products; among the "Six Rising Stars " rice-and-flour product
lineup under the youth-oriented figurative buns segment, corn-shaped buns and
orange-shaped buns were particularly popular in the market. New distinctive products,
including rose-shaped cake, dual-color Malay sponge cake and traditional pork
steamed bun, were also launched. With exclusive specifications developed for group
meals in Southern China, the Company effectively reduced the intensity of
homogeneous competition in the rice and flour product market. The family bucket
assorted pack for hot pot ingredients received positive feedback from the market, and
the Company will continue to expand its product offerings by introducing multiple
combo-size options in 2026. Ding Wei Tai's frozen bakery products, such as toast and
bagels, also grew steadily through new-style tea beverage and partner supermarket
channels.

Following two years of accumulation and market testing, the Company’s supply chain
capabilities in the grilled sausage sector have become increasingly mature, production
processes have been continuously optimized, and the channel structure has become
more diversified. Recognizing the broad growth potential of the grilled sausage
segment, the Company has further focused on grilled sausage products this year by
integrating and coordinating its sausage products. These include five major product
series, namely Hot Pot Sausage Series, Grade A Volcanic Stone Grilled Sausage,
Grade B Volcanic Stone Grilled Sausage, Meaty Sausage Series and Taiwanese Style
Grilled Sausage Series, and they were positioned as the third largest segment of the
Company’s principal business. In 2026, on one hand, the Company will continue to
launch new products based on its existing volcanic stone grilled sausage products,
which are suitable for braised deli sections, tourist attractions, oden, malatang and
other channels, to expand its grilled sausage series for business customers. On the
other hand, for individual consumers, the Company has implemented differentiated
upgrades in weight and packaging for meaty sausages launched in 2025, and has set
up dedicated grilled-sausage counters at retail outlets to enrich SKU and enhance
end-market performance. In terms of production capacity, the Company has continued
to expand and upgrade its fully automated, intelligent and specialized sausage
production base, thereby comprehensively consolidating the production capacity
foundation for the sausage category. Leveraging continuously optimized production
processes and scale advantages, it has steadily improved the overall profitability of
the sausage category.

results with shareholders, placed great emphasis on reasonable investment returns for
investors, maintained the continuity, stability and predictability of our profit

the Company's long-term development and the overall interests of all shareholders.

million (inclusive of tax), accounting for 70.01% of the Company's net profit
attributable to shareholders of the listed company as reported in the 2025 consolidated
financial statements (audited). The estimated cash dividends for the first half of 2026
are RMB 576 million (inclusive of tax), accounting for 70.01% of the Company's net

years. The actual dividend payout ratio significantly exceeds the 40% threshold
stipulated in the Company's articles of association, demonstrating the Company's firm
commitment to sharing development results with its shareholders.

Driving industrial transformation and upgrading through the cultivation of new
quality productive forces, the Company is building a full-chain innovation ecosystem
that bridges technology R&D and market commercialization.
The Company has established a distributed R&D framework with Anjoy's distinctive
characteristics, setting up R&D centers at each of its production bases across the
country, each responsible for the development of categories such as hot pot foods,
grilled sausages, and quick-frozen flour and rice items. By implementing a localized
R&D mechanism, the Company ensures that product innovation closely aligns with
regional market preferences, thereby accelerating the efficiency of the entire
innovation cycle from laboratory to shelf.
The Company always adheres to its new product planning strategy of “one generation
in development, one in production and one in reserve”, focusing on the core demands
of individual customers regarding safety, health, nutrition, and clean label by closely
tracking the development trends of the “five lows” (low sugar, less oil, low sodium,
low fat, and low calorie) and the “four frees” (sucrose-free, dye-free, artificial
flavoring-free, and preservative-free) in fast moving consumer goods. It drives brand
transformation and upgrading through product innovation, achieving the dual benefits
of brand enhancement and sales facilitation. In 2025, the Company's new products
delivered strong market performance. The Hot Pot Food Assorted Pack, shrimp paste
series, meaty sausage series, and figurative buns (including corn-shaped buns and
orange-shaped buns) all received positive market recognition, validating the
Company's efficient capacity for translating innovation into commercial results. In
products segment, including dual-color rose-shaped cakes, persimmon-shaped buns,
and apple-shaped buns, while also introducing new sausage products tailored for
diverse scenarios such as supermarket deli sections and tourist attractions,

growth.

The Company is vigorously promoting full collaboration and connectivity across IT,
digitalization, and smart manufacturing. By leveraging and customizing both internal
R&D and external technologies, the Company has achieved full-process digitalization
from strategic planning to business execution, thereby enhancing the timeliness and
scientific nature of decision-making and comprehensive management. The Business
Intelligence (BI) system of the Company enables real-time analysis of information
across various dimensions, including products, customers, regional markets and
marketing policies, and also cost analysis and refined management at the production
end. With the enhanced decision-making capabilities brought by digitalization, the
Company has strengthened communication and collaboration with distributors,
ensured production efficiency and further improved quality control mechanisms. The

traceability from raw material sourcing, through production, packaging and logistics,
to customer receipt.

In the first half of 2026, the Company continued to deepen the investor relations
management and actively built an efficient, transparent and multi-dimensional
communication system. During the period, the Company successfully held the 2025

in-depth dialogue between management and investors, enhancing mutual trust and
understanding, and enabling the capital market to gain a more comprehensive and
