[2026-01-01]

As the new year begins and everything looks fresh and new, on the eve of the New Year's Day in 2026, I, on behalf of the company's leadership team, would like to extend our sincerest New Year greetings to every dedicated and responsible striver of Dongtai!

Looking back to 2025, we have set "comprehensive improvement and benchmarking" as our course, and "reform and innovation, cost reduction and efficiency improvement" as our anchor, marching with resolute steps on the journey of "technological progress and management improvement". We adhere to the "cultural navigation" to lead the direction, integrate the core concept of "customer first, quality first" into our blood, and make "doing it right the first time and never making the same mistake twice" a conscious behavior of all employees. With the wisdom of "doing everything possible", we tackle difficulties with the perseverance of "devoting ourselves wholeheartedly", endure the wind and rain with day-to-day persistence, and overcome the rapids with the courage and determination to tackle difficulties. Finally, we achieve "results" through solid efforts! Every Dongtai person is passionate and diligent, writing an extraordinary answer with an ordinary body.

Looking ahead to 2026, we face a long journey, filled with lofty ambitions! We must embrace the belief of "striving to catch up and aiming for excellence," tapping into our inner potential and learning from others' strengths. Through benchmarking, we will break through cognitive boundaries and climb to new heights in our industry through transcendence. With the perseverance of "reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and making sustained efforts," we will integrate lean thinking into every aspect of production and operation, seeking efficiency from management and results from details, making cost advantage a solid foundation for enterprise development. With the boldness of "reform and innovation, empowering growth," we will bravely venture into the blue ocean of new materials, new processes, and new markets, forging the full-chain capability of "core technology + complete equipment + installation and commissioning + reaching production targets" into our core competitiveness. We will drive value leaps through innovation and define the future of the industry through breakthroughs. With the wisdom of "culture as a guide, activating potential," we will transform our original aspiration of "building a first-class enterprise and a happy enterprise" into an intrinsic motivation for all employees to strive forward, uniting everyone's will and forming a powerful synergy. This will allow every talent to shine and every effort to be rewarded!

With strong winds, full sails, and vast seas, we row with vigor, chasing the waves at the forefront of the tide! Despite the trials of wind and rain ahead, there is glory to be rewarded - as long as we maintain the innovative spirit of "thinking big" and the practical spirit of "seeking truth from facts", grasp implementation with the perseverance and determination of "holding fast to the green mountains and not relaxing", and move forward with the courage and determination of "I will be there when it's done", there is no obstacle we cannot overcome, no goal we cannot achieve. We will surely navigate through the storms and reach the ideal destination!

As the new year arrives, let us embrace change with the innocence of a child, face challenges with lofty ambitions, anchor our goals, and move forward with unity! "Great achievements are made through perseverance, and extensive accomplishments are achieved through diligence." Believe in the power of faith, and the continuous accumulation of quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative leaps! With the courage to seek change proactively, we should adapt to the ever-changing situation, break through the obstacles on our path with all our efforts, lay a solid foundation for development with down-to-earth perseverance, and jointly create a brighter future for Dongfang Titanium Industry, writing a magnificent chapter of our own era!

Finally, I sincerely wish the team members of Dongfang Titanium Industry a joyful New Year's Day, family well-being, and all things go smoothly. I pay tribute to every striver!
