In the first quarter of 2015, the coal sales of China Shenhua Energy Company Limited ( the "Company" ) decreased by 33.5% year-on-year, mainly attributable to: first, the continually weak downstream demand due to the slowdown in domestic economy growth in the first quarter; second, industrial activities had not fully recovered in March due to the late Chinese New Year holiday; third, increased volume of the coal transported by automobiles in certain regions; and fourth, relative competitiveness of imported coal in the eastern coastal markets. The total power output dispatch decreased by 7.6% year-on-year, mainly attributable to: first, the continued sluggish growth in electricity demand in society; second, the effects of replacement by hydropower and other new energies; and third, the impacts on the coastal markets of the Company in the southeastern regions arising from transmission of electricity from the western regions to the eastern regions.
The major operational data above were calculated based on the internal statistics of the Company. As a result, operational data may show major differences between months. The factors giving rise to such differences include, without limitation to, bad weather, equipment overhaul, seasonal factors, and safety checkup and so on. The major operational data may somewhat differ from the data disclosed in the relative periodic reports. Investors are hereby reminded of the risks which may result from inappropriate reliance upon or utilization of the information given above.
