72、rine exhaust gas cleaning system decreased by about 15.6%year-on-year in the Reporting Period,primarily due to the following reasons:(i)the favorable conditions in the shipping market that have reduced the willingness of operational vessels to halt operations for retrofitting,leading to lower demand
73、 for desulfurization systems compared to the previous year;(ii)the cost reductions of marine exhaust gas cleaning systems that enabled us to pass on benefits to our clients through more competitive pricing;and(iii)the proportion of newbuilding orders among delivered projects increased significantly
74、in 2024 and the lower price of marine exhaust gas cleaning systems of newbuilding than that of the retrofit under the same specification in normal circumstances.Marine energy-saving devices revenue increased from RMB58.0 million in 2023 to RMB64.4 million in 2024,which was mainly driven by the heigh
75、tened and evolving ESG regulatory framework and initiatives related to maritime environmental protection.Marine clean-energy supply systems revenue increased significantly by about 11 times,from RMB5.6 million in 2023 to RMB67.0 million in 2024,due to(i)the surge in revenue from nitrogen generation
76、systems,the orders of which in 2024 increased by 130.0%as compared to 2023;and(ii)the introduction of high-capacity nitrogen generation systems since 2023,the unit price of which is higher,therefore driving revenue growth at a faster rate in 2024.CONTIOCEAN ENVIRONMENT TECH GROUP CO.,LTD.16Managemen
77、t Discussion and Analysis(Continued)Maritime services revenue increased from RMB105.5 million in 2023 to RMB195.2 million in 2024.The 85.0%increase was mainly due to the following reasons:(i)post-pandemic demands for improved crew working conditions,coupled with intensified competition in seafarer r
78、ecruitment.These drive shipowners to enhance investments in talent retention and welfare programs,which boosted the demand for the maritime services;and(ii)soaring container freight rates which reach historic highs,spurring corresponding increases in newbuild investments and driving sales growth of
79、lashing equipment for container ships and PCTC.We will continue to seize market opportunities arising from the regulatory framework of IMO and initiatives related to marine environmental protection in order to increase our revenue from different equipment and systems.CUSTOMER ANALYSISBelow is a brea

106、d to RMB614.4 million,increased by RMB104.1 million or 20.4%as compared to that of RMB510.3 million in 2023.The increase in revenue was mainly from the increase in revenue from marine clean-energy supply systems and maritime services as discussed in the section headed“Business Segment Analysis”in th
107、is Annual Report.Gross profit and gross profit marginDuring the Year,the Groups gross profit amounted to RMB245.8 million,increased by RMB4.1 million or 1.7%,mainly due to the increases in gross profit of(i)marine energy-saving devices from RMB27.7 million in 2023 to RMB34.6 million in 2024;(ii)mari

109、47.4%in 2023 to 40.0%in 2024,mainly due to the substantial rise in the revenue share of marine clean-energy supply systems and maritime services.These emerging business segments,which have not yet achieved complete independent production capabilities,carry higher cost ratios,thereby decreased the pr
110、ofit margin.Other incomeThe Groups other income amounted to RMB7.4 million in 2024,increased by approximately RMB3.8 million or 103.9%as compared to that of RMB3.6 million in 2023,mainly due to the increased interest income on bank deposits from RMB0.8 million in 2023 to RMB4.9 million in 2024,as(i)
111、the Group made time deposits denominated in USD in late 2023 and 2024,which generated higher interest rates,and(ii)the average bank and cash balance during the period increased,partially offset by the decrease in government grants from RMB2.8 million in 2023 to RMB2.5 million in 2024.Please refer to

116、on in 2024,increased by RMB12.3 million or 44.2%from that of RMB27.7 million in 2023.The increase was primarily due to(i)the increase in sales commission from RMB17.5 million incurred in 2023 to RMB25.5 million incurred in 2024,mainly because our revenue generated from sales promoted by sales agents
117、 increased from RMB278.7 million in 2023 to RMB373.0 million in 2024;(ii)the increase in the staff compensation cost due to the marketing team expansion to support surging business opportunities in the emerging business segments,especially for the clean-energy supply systems;and(iii)the consolidatio
118、n of European sales team.Administrative expensesThe Groups administrative expenses amounted to RMB43.8 million in 2024,decreased by RMB3.5 million or 7.5%from that of RMB47.3 million in 2023,primarily due to the decrease in share-based payment expenses from RMB5.5 million in 2023 to RMB1.7 million i
119、n 2024.The drop in the share-based payment expenses was mainly due to the Companys one-off share-based payment of about RMB4.8 million in 2023 for granting of incentive shares to a selected executive in 2023,leading to a decrease in the total amount of the share-based payments from RMB5.5 million in
120、 2023 to RMB1.7 million in 2024.Staff salary amounted to RMB21.1 million in 2024,increased by RMB1.5 million or 7.7%,as compared to RMB19.6 million in 2023.CONTIOCEAN ENVIRONMENT TECH GROUP CO.,LTD.22Management Discussion and Analysis(Continued)Research and development expensesThe Groups research an
121、d development expenses amounted to RMB27.2 million in 2024,increased by RMB8.3 million or 43.5%from RMB18.9 million in 2023.This increase was primarily due to the increases in(i)cost of purchase from RMB6.1 million in 2023 to RMB11.4 million in 2024,mainly because certain R&D projects entered the pr
122、ototype trial production stage,resulting in greater demand for raw materials and product components,and(ii)staff cost from RMB8.2 million in 2023 to RMB12.3 million in 2024,as our then-associate,Wavelength Technology Center,LDA,became our subsidiary at the end of 2023,leading to increased number of
123、our R&D personnel.Share of results of associatesOur share of results of associates was a loss of RMB1.7 million in 2023 and nil in 2024,primarily because(i)our then-associate,WTC,became our subsidiary at the end of 2023 after we increased our investment,which incurred net losses,in 2023 as it was st
124、ill in the ramp-up phase,and(ii)we disposed of the entire interest of Jiangsu ContiOcean Electronic Ltd.(江蘇匯舸電力有限公司)in April 2023.Therefore,we had no associates in 2024.Impairment losses under expected credit loss model,net of reversalThe Groups impairment losses under the ECL model,net of reversal,

126、compared to approximately RMB0.6 million in 2023.The increase in finance costs was primarily due to the higher average balance of our bank borrowings in 2024 as compared to 2023.Income tax expenseOur income tax expense increased by 11.7%from RMB20.3 million in 2023 to RMB22.6 million in 2024,represe
127、nting an increase in effective tax rate from 14.4%in 2023 to 15.8%in 2024.The increase in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the increase in tax expenses of the Groups overseas operating subsidiaries,which are subject to higher income tax rates.Profit for the YearAs a result of the foregoing,t

132、by RMB58.8 million or 67.3%as compared to RMB87.4 million as at 31 December 2023.The decrease was primarily due to the following reasons:(i)onsite installation and commissioning schedules for some marine exhaust gas cleaning systems under newbuild contracts concentrated in late 2023 and the first qu
133、arter of 2024.This led to a high level of goods in transit(shipped but not yet recognized)by the end of the 2023,which had been significantly reduced in 2024 as customer orders were fulfilled and deliveries completed;and(ii)the use of our enhanced inventory optimization initiatives,including just-in
