In 2013, revenue from the Group's die steel operations reached RMB 1,232 million, accounting for 36% of total revenue and forming its largest revenue contributor. Sales volume of die steel for the period surged 27% year-on-year to 94,000 tons from strong growth momentum in export sales, while revenue from export sales of die steel grew 19% year-on-year. With die steel exports remaining robust, the Group is strongly positioned for better results and to deliver greater returns to shareholders.
