Unaudited Second Quarter 2016 Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2016 declined 11.1% to RMB 3.7 billion (US$552.4 million) compared to RMB 4.1 billion in the second quarter of 2015.

The total number of engines sold by GYMCL during the second quarter of 2016 was 87,791 units, compared with 115,208 units in the same quarter of 2015, a reduction of 23.8%. The decrease was due to the general slowdown in the Chinese economy, increased competition as well as the resultant impact from the transition to Tier 3 emission standards in the off-highway segment. The Company's sales in marine segment increased as compared with the same quarter of 2015. The Company's decline in net revenue was less than the decline in unit sales due to a higher average selling price resulting from a greater proportion of higher-priced National IV and V engines sold in the second quarter of 2016.

According to data reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAM") (excluding sales of gasoline powered and electric vehicles), in the second quarter of 2016, sales of buses declined by 8.5% led by a 21.8% decrease in heavy-duty bus sales while truck sales increased by 6.7%. According to CAAM, in the second quarter of 2016, sales of commercial vehicles (excluding sales of gasoline powered and electric vehicles) increased by 4.5% compared to the same quarter in 2015 and sales of electric commercial vehicles continued to grow strongly year-on-year which impacted GYMCL's sales in the bus segment.

Gross profit decreased 15.1% to RMB 710.4 million (US$107.1 million) compared with RMB 837.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. Gross margin was 19.4% in the second quarter of 2016 compared with 20.3% a year ago. The decreases were mainly attributable to lower unit sales and higher cost of goods sold during the quarter.

Other operating income was RMB 16.1 million (US$2.4 million), compared with RMB 16.5 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were RMB 139.6 million (US$21.1 million) compared with RMB 138.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. The Company continued with its research and development of new engine products compliant with National V and VI emission standards for the truck and bus segments, and its expansion of Tier 3 off-road product offerings. The Company also continued with its initiatives to improve engine performance and quality. As a percentage of revenue, R&D spending increased to 3.8% compared with 3.4% in the second quarter of 2015.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased 8.1% to RMB 343.9 million (US$51.9 million) from RMB 374.1 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decline of RMB 30.2 million primarily resulted from lower unit sales in the second quarter of 2016. SG&A expenses represented 9.4% of revenue compared with 9.1% in the same quarter a year ago.

Operating profit decreased 28.7% to RMB 243.0 million (US$36.6 million) from RMB 340.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease of RMB 97.7 million was mainly due to lower revenue. The operating margin was 6.6% compared with 8.3% in the second quarter of 2015.

Finance costs decreased 29.9% to RMB 20.9 million (US$3.1 million) from RMB 29.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of RMB 8.9 million. Lower finance costs mainly resulted from a reduction in borrowings and lower borrowing costs. As of June 30, 2016, short- and long-term loans and borrowings were RMB 870.6 million (US$131.3 million), compared with RMB 2.6 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2016 and RMB 2.5 billion at the end of 2015.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, total net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 123.7 million (US$18.7 million), or earnings per share of RMB 3.15 (US$0.47), compared with RMB 176.4 million, or earnings per share of RMB 4.62 in the same quarter in 2015.

The earnings per share in the second quarter of 2016 was based on a weighted average of 39,329,412 shares compared with earnings per share in the second quarter of 2015 which was based on a weighted average of 38,195,706 shares.
