In the same period last year, due to factors such as abnormal climate, tight upstream air supply, and rising gas prices, the company purchased high-priced gas sources to guarantee the supply of downstream users, and procurement costs rose sharply. During the reporting period, in order to reduce gas procurement costs, the company continued to actively adopt various measures and introduce gas sources through multiple channels; at the same time, procurement costs in some business regions were gradually guided downstream, and the difference between purchase and sales increased. In 2023, the gross profit of the company's main business increased by about 150 million yuan compared to the same period last year.
