Thank you, Kevin. We are pleased to report continuing growth in sales and profits in the first half of 2026. Revenue increased by 30.9% year-over-year, with a 10.9% year-over-year gain in engine unit sales. Our gross profit rose by 36.5% year-over-year to RMB 2.5 billion or $368.7 million, with gross profit margin increasing to 17.1%. Operating profit was 58.9% higher at RMB 988.2 million or $145.1 million. Profit attributable to our shareholders rose by 53.2% year-over-year to RMB 560.6 million or $82.3 million, with diluted earnings per share of RMB 14.81 or $2.17 in first half 2026. Higher sales of our larger engines enhanced both our average selling price and profitability compared with the same period last year. Total truck engine unit sales were up 20.4% year-over-year, led by heavy-duty truck engine unit sales increase of 47.3% year-over-year.

Weng Ming Hoh
Weng Ming Hoh
President at China Yuchai International

Engine unit sales to off-road markets increased by 7.7% year-over-year in first half 2026, primarily driven by strong demand in marine and power generation markets, where engine unit sales increased by 42% year-over-year. Our joint ventures and associates produced a 56.2% year-over-year growth in profits in first half 2026, propelled by higher sales and profits, mainly from MTU Yuchai. Order demand for high-horsepower engines continues to be strong. The combined production capacity for high-horsepower engines across the MTU JV and Yuchai currently stands at approximately 5,000 units. Sales to AI data centers by MTU JV and Yuchai's own brand grew to approximately 1,800 units in first half 2026. With increased engine technology content advancing performance and environmental impacts, we increased total R&D expenditures, including capitalized costs by almost 30% to RMB 622.5 million, or $91.4 million in first half 2026.

Weng Ming Hoh

President at China Yuchai International

In addition to enhancing the quality and performance of our current products, we have introduced new innovative products in first half 2026. Commercial minibuses equipped with Yuchai's YCY24-65kW flywheel range extender systems or YC-FRS, were launched in the heavily congested Hong Kong vehicle market. This new technology reduces the need for fixed charging infrastructure. We also created a breakthrough in our alternative fuels program with our first high-pressure, direct injection internal combustion engine, capable of operating entirely on ammonia. We acquired a 27.97% equity interest of Nanyue Fuel Injection Systems, or NYDK in short. It was previously known as Nanyue Diankong (Hengyang) Industrial Technology Company Limited. This transaction strengthens our technology capabilities, access to new powertrain products, and supply chain resilience. Since April 1st, 2026, NYDK's financial results have been consolidated following Yuchai's acquisition of control over NYDK on March 31st, 2026.

Our subsidiary, Guangxi Yuchai Marine and Genset Power Company Limited, continues the process for its IPO application with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Upon completion, the listing is expected to provide the subsidiary with more resources to accelerate its growth, while we will remain the controlling shareholder of this subsidiary. This will enable us to continue to benefit from the subsidiary's long-term development while focusing additional resources on our other operations. To further support our strategy of identifying and participating in emerging growth opportunities, we invested in and became a limited partner in Guangxi Yuchai Double Growth Fund, a private equity fund that invests in businesses focusing on innovative technologies. At the end of June 2026, our cash management and cash flow from operations provided higher cash and bank balances totaling approximately RMB 1.2 billion with lower borrowings.

Reflecting our commitment to delivering value to shareholders, a cash dividend of $0.87 per ordinary share for 2025 was paid in July 2026, compared with $0.53 per ordinary share for 2024 paid in 2025. Our strong financial position empowers Yuchai's ongoing investment in product upgrades and new product development, which furthers the establishment of our growing presence in selected international markets to support future growth. Our strategy remains to sell into multiple end markets with a growing and diverse product portfolio. With that, I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Choon Sen Loo, our chief financial officer, who will provide more details on the financial results. Choon Sen Loo, you may begin your remarks.

CFO at China Yuchai International

Thank you, Weng Ming Hoh. Now let me review our unaudited 2026 first six months results ended June 30th, 2026. Revenue was RMB 14.7 billion, or $2.2 billion, compared with RMB 12.9 billion in first half 2025. 13.9% year-over-year growth. Engine sales reached 277,684 units in first half 2026, an increase of 10.9% compared with 250,396 units in first half 2025. This growth was driven by stronger performance in the truck segment as well as in off-road applications, particularly construction machinery and marine and power generation. Total truck engine unit sales were up 20.4% year-over-year in first half 2026, outperforming the 5.8% year-over-year growth in overall commercial truck, excluding gasoline and electric vehicles sales reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, CAAM, in the same period. Heavy-duty truck engine unit sales increased by 47.3% year-over-year compared with the 13.1% year-over-year growth in heavy-duty truck sales reported by CAAM.

CFO at China Yuchai International

Light-duty truck engine unit sales rose by 23.6%, contrasted with a decline in light-duty truck sales according to CAAM. Medium-duty truck engine unit sales also grew 7.9% year-over-year. Engine unit sales to off-road markets increased by 7.7% year-over-year in first half 2026. The growth was primarily driven by strong demand in the marine and power generation markets where engine unit sales increased by 42% year-over-year. Sales for industrial applications rose by 15.8% year-over-year, while engine sales for agricultural machinery declined by 18.9% in the same period. Gross profit increased by 36.5% to RMB 2.5 billion or $368.7 million from RMB 1.8 billion in first half 2025. The increase was mainly due to higher sales volume, better sales mix, and reduced warranty expenses. Gross margin was 17.1% in the first half 2026, compared with 14.3% in first half 2025.

Choon Sen Loo
Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

Increased sales of larger engines enhanced the gross profit margin in first half 2026 year-over-year. Other operating income net decreased by 32.2% to RMB 150.2 million or $22.1 million, compared with RMB 221.4 million in first half 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower government grants and the absence of technology licensing fees income in first half 2026 as compared with that of first half 2025. Research and development R&D expenses increased by 24.5% to RMB 583.4 million or $87.1 million, compared with RMB 476.7 million in first half 2025. Due to higher experimental and personnel costs and the lower level of capitalized project costs. Total R&D expenditures including capitalized costs were RMB 622.5 million or $91.4 million, representing 4.2% of revenue in first half 2025 compared to RMB 551.7 million and 4.3% of revenue in first half 2025.

Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

Selling general and administrative SG&A expenses increased by 12.2% to RMB 1.1 billion or $158.5 million from RMB 962.5 million in first half 2025. This increase was driven by higher personnel expenses and legal, professional, and consultancy fees compared with first half 2025. SG&A expenses represented 7.4% of revenue for first half 2025 compared with 7.5% of revenue in first half 2025. Operating profit increased by 58.9% to RMB 988.2 million or $145.1 million, compared to RMB 621.7 million in first half 2025. The operating margin increased to 6.7%, in contrast with 4.8% in first half 2025. Higher operating profit and operating margin were achieved by increased sales and gross margin, combined with controlled growth in operating expenses. Finance costs decreased by 16% to RMB 27 million or $4 million, compared with RMB 32.2 million in first half 2025, primarily due to reduced term loans during the period.

CFO at China Yuchai International

The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures grew by 56.2% to a profit of RMB 95.9 million or $14.1 million, compared with RMB 61.4 million in first half 2025. The increase was mainly driven by higher profits at MTU Yuchai Power Company Limited. Income tax expense increased by 85.3% to RMB 215.3 million or $31.6 million, compared with RMB 116.2 million in first half 2025, primarily due to higher profits and the utilization of deferred tax assets.

Wei Shen
Wei Shen
Analyst at UBS

Thank you for taking my question. First, congratulations on strong results. My question is about AIDC kind of volume guidance. We have achieved 1,800 units, and I think at the beginning of the year, we are targeting 2,600 units. Any color into the second half of this year? This is first question, and my second question is about the dividends. I noticed that the company announced the 2025 dividends, but the payout ratio seems to be lower than 2024. I'm wondering, any color on this? Thank you.

Choon Sen Loo
Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

Okay. I'll take the questions on dividend, and I'll let Kevin take the question on the AIDC. No, there's no particular reason. I think the payout ratio, if you look at our payout ratios in the past 10 years, it ranges from about 30%-40%. Sometimes a little bit higher, sometimes a little bit lower. It's still within that range. That hasn't changed. Yeah, there's no anything towards there.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Morning, Mr. Shen. Let me briefly regarding on the volume of the AIDC engine. In the first half, the total volume of the AIDC from both the Yuchai and plus the MTU joint venture is 1,800 units. That is for the AIDC only. For the second half, we will expect the whole year, we'll be around about 3,500 units and more. This is we had adjust the production and also the sales volume of the whole year of the 2026. It means that there will be quite a significant growth compared to the year of 2025. Thank you.

Wei Shen

Analyst at UBS

Thank you. Very clear.

Operator

Hold for our next question. The next question comes from the line of Fiona Liang of Bank of America. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Fiona Liang
Fiona Liang
Analyst at Bank of America

Hello, management. This is Fiona from Bank of America. I have a question about our gross margin profile. In the first half, we see that the blended gross margin improved quite a lot. Could you explain more about the factors behind, whether is this due to the product mix change or our improving cost efficiency? Lastly, I also want to ask the gross margin or the net margin on Yuchai MTU. For the first half, our share of profit from associate and JV improved a lot. What's the margin profile for Yuchai MTU currently?

Choon Sen Loo
Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

Okay. Thank you, Fiona. I will take the first question. Regarding the gross margin expansion or improvement. From 14.0%-17.1%. I think you mentioned earlier on that the first thing first, that the product mix actually drove the margin up in particular, in the large engine or horsepower engine. That give us a nice uptake for the margin. That's number one. Okay. We also mentioned that our heavy duty engine unit sales has increased as well. That also give us some favorable margin increase in that aspect. Okay. The third point is that I think you also mentioned that we have continued to enhance our operational efficiency, right. That actually will help our cost rationalization in the first half. Our first half, we also been affected by some unfavorable precious metal price increase.

Choon Sen Loo
Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

It's kind of being offset against what we have been doing for the cost improvement. I hope that addressed your first question, Fiona. The second question.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Okay. I take the MTU question. Actually, this year then 2026, the GP of the MTU joint ventures see a little bit reduced. Mainly because of the cost of the engine and also there's some pricing pressure. We had to offer further discount and then to OEM and also our partners. The overall, the sales of the first half then increasing by over 40%. The revenue and also the net profit is also increased. The net profit percentage not as good as the revenue growth. We are still maintaining about over 30% GP of the OSS overall. This is still quite promising and on the net profit. Thank you.

Fiona Liang

Our next question comes from the line of Yiming Liu of Guotai Junan Securities. Please go ahead.

Yiming Liu
Analyst at Guotai Junan Securities

Hi. Thank you very much for taking me. Congratulations for your strong H1. I've got two questions. Number 1, could you describe any progress on your gas engine product? Is there any chance that they could be used in the data center business for prime power, especially in North America? Another question on fuel cell. Could you describe any progress on your fuel cell business? Is there any chance that they could be used in the data center in the future? Thanks.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Okay, let me take the first part, Yiming, regarding on the gas engine. The gas engine, actually is a traditional engine product and then is available in Yuchai for many years. When we developed the diesel and then the gas engine is also available. It's a widely available product and then ready for the market. You mentioning about on the North American market and at the moment our engine is still under the certification process. Now it's waiting and then for all the testing and it can be fully done and then before we can release the engine and then for any other region. At this stage, we still are then using our existing product, the YC engine, and then that is up to 2.5 MW for diesel and about 3 MW for the railway application.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

We don't have exact timing regarding when we can get into the U.S. market. We are actually doing everything we can. Yeah. Thank you.

Choon Sen Loo
Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

Can you repeat your second question again on the fuel cell?

Yiming Liu
Analyst at Guotai Junan Securities

Could you give us some introduction of your fuel cell business, and is there any chance that they could be used in the data center power generation in the future? Thanks.

Choon Sen Loo
Choon Sen Loo
CFO at China Yuchai International

Our fuel cell unit is still in progress. We have been developing products in the past. We have some products that's been installed in the buses, especially in Beijing. We have not started working on the power generation side of it. I guess at some point the future it's a possibility. Definitely not in the short term. We do not have a product in the short term for power generation for fuel cell system as yet. Okay?

Yiming Liu
Analyst at Guotai Junan Securities

Okay, I see. Thank you very much.

Operator

Thank you for the questions. As a reminder, to ask question you can press star one and one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. At this time, there are no further I beg your pardon. One moment for our next questions. You have a new question from the line of Natalie Ong from CGSI. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

Hi. Good afternoon. Good evening, my end time. Can you hear me?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Yes.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

Hi. Okay. Hi, Weng Ming and team. Congratulations on this good set of results. I have some questions regarding your AIDC capacity. I'm not sure if I heard this wrongly earlier at the start of the call, you mentioned that your current capacity for high-horsepower engine/DC engines is currently 5,000 units for 2026. Is that correct?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Yes, that's correct.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

Does that mean that actually there has been an increase in capacity? Because I think previously you were guiding about 4,000 capacity for 2026.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Let me take this question. Last year, our capacity for the high-horsepower engine, I mean, the combined Yuchai local brand plus the MTU JV brand, all add together, is about 3,000 units last year. We had the capacity extension program at the end of 2024, so that it was complete last year. We had increasing about 700 unique capacity for the high-horsepower. At the beginning of this year, we also went and modified our internal process so that we had subcontract out some of the machining process to the external subcontractor. Through this practice, we can increase another 1,000 unique capacity for machining. Now we have all add together, total is about 5,000 units. This is our current capacity for the high-horsepower engine. That including for those AIDC or non-AIDC application.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

We are still in the planning to further increase the capacity for next year, we are now not had a final decision regarding what the volume will be, we'll be increasing the production volume for the next, the year on. Yes. Thank you. Yeah.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

Okay. Thank you. My understanding is that the capacity has increased due to outsourcing of certain machining requirements. Is that correct?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Yeah. We subcontract out some of the machining process. In the past, we do all the machining in-house. Now, we are using the external contractor to do some of the machining for us so that we can spare out further capacity to build more engine.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

Okay. Does this mean that you're still guiding for 3,500 units only AIDC? That means excluding those sold to non-AI.

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

That is AI only. Yeah. 3,500 units. Yeah.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

That means we expect to sell all the capacity that we have, which is going to be 5,000 units for the year?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Yeah. Exactly. 5,000 units for the year.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

To be clear, the ASPs for high-horsepower engines, be it sold to AIDC customers or non-AIDC, the ASPs are actually similar?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Yeah, except Correct. Because the high-horsepower engine is not only for application of AIDC. AIDC is only for using the engine for the power generation. The power generation can be used in the factory, you may be using in a commercial building. There's quite a lot of the non-AIDC application, and then using the high-horsepower engine as well.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

That's perfect. Can I also check, I know some of your competitors have also been ramping up their manufacturing capacity. How has that affected your ability to command or maintain, increase your average selling prices for these high-horsepower/AIDC engines?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

In fact, because of the certain demand of the AIDC engine in the high-horsepower engine market. Not only Yuchai or MTU, but all other engine manufacturer, they also do the same thing and then have the capacity extension program. Since the beginning of the 2024, 2025, and this year. The market is still very competitive, and the engine supplier, they have to do whatever they can to win the order. Otherwise, the extension program will have to be difficult to get the return. Pricing wise, we haven't had any real pricing increase compared to last year, except we had the cost increase from our supplier, and then we have to claim back to the end user for all those additional costs increase. Engine itself is still maintaining quite a stable pricing anyway. Yeah. Thank you.

Natalie Ong
Analyst at CGS International Securities

Thank you so much. Sorry, one last question. I know you mentioned that you have not firmed up your available capacity for next year. Do you mean to say that you could try to outsource more of this machining and maybe increase capacity? Or do you think that this will require expansion of lines and therefore more CapEx spending?

Kelvin Lai
Kelvin Lai
General Manager of Operations at China Yuchai International

Actually, we will do it in two ways. One is that we will further outsource some of the process. We cannot outsource every process to the external supplier, because we can do the first machining. The fine machining, we need to do in-house. We still had to increase some of the machinery for the fine machining process inside the factory. We will have to do it both ways. First, also try to increase the subcontract processing. Secondly, we still have to buy some more equipment for the internal process as well. We will do the same. We already have some guidelines or little planning regarding the capacity of next year. We need to finalize before we actually put it into action, yeah.
