Chairman and CEO Wang Suizhong said that due to the weak global light vehicle semiconductor production, weak consumer demand, and price competition in multiple other manufacturing product divisions, the company has been negatively impacted. The high uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment has dampened consumer willingness to spend and caused many customers to delay the launch of new products. It is currently expected that the group's annual sales will decline by a low single-digit percentage compared to last year.
