"During this quarter, we continuously insisted on executing our strategies to vertically penetrate in the high-end industrial automation market while improving our market share in mid to low end markets. We achieved several high-end projects wins in chemical, thermal and enlarge our market share in food beverage and new energy industries. We were also focusing on building strong after-sale department and set long term goals on improving after-sale services. Our solution in reducing waste material emission and environment protection proved to be successful. The past few months have been very exciting for Hollysys. A series of strict testing and on-site engineering application indicates that our new generation K series DCS products meet the requirements for large and complicated projects including power, chemical, etc. Our products will significantly improve our market competitive advantages and effectiveness of project as well as improve our client recognition. For the past few months, our HOLLiAS-N DCS product has been successfully operating in the Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant, proving that our quality assurance system and products are completely qualified for the high standard of nuclear usage. With China accelerates its nuclear power plants construction in the future, we believe we will benefit more financially as well as in reputation in the long run. Going forward, we believe that we will increase our overall market share in the industrial automation, nurture and quickly take commanding height in our new businesses leveraging our advanced technologies, experienced professionals, profound industry expertise, and customization and innovation capability.

 

"In rail transportation, during this quarter, we feel excited about the significant high-speed rail ATP contract wins for high-speed trains in 200-250km/h and 300-350km/h, total valued at RMB 687 million (approximately USD 110 million). Besides, our strong R&D capability, extraordinary project management and high-quality and reliable products had ensured our wins on a few recently operated high-speed rail lines, including Xiamen-Shenzhen line, Xi'an-Baoji line, Chongqing-Lichuan line and Wuhan-Xianning line. Those high-speed rail lines are all equipped with our high-speed rail signaling system. We will continue todeliver quality works and work closely with railway authorities in the future. With China's increased rail construction and equipment procurement budget for this year, and exciting prospect envisioned, Hollysys, as a well-recognized rail signaling system provider with strong R&D capability, solid execution and reliable products, will continue to penetrate China's vast railway construction market and achieve significant results.

 

"For the overseas industrial automation and rail transportation expansion, we are sending qualified and experienced engineers from China to overseas, and recruiting local engineers to expand our overseas team. With our proprietary technology and products, industry expertise and strong competitive advantages, together with our expanded local channels through Bond and Concord, we will continue to make exciting achievements in the international market in both industrial and rail transportation fields, and creating value for our shareholders."

Non-GAAP Measures

 

In evaluating our results, the non-GAAP measures of “Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses (hereafter “Non-GAAP G&A expenses”), “Non-GAAP cost of integrated contracts”, “Non-GAAP other income, net”, “Non-GAAP interest expenses”, “Non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys” and “Non-GAAP earnings per share” serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as a replacement for other measures in accordance with US GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as they exclude the 1) share-based compensation expenses, 2) amortization of acquired intangibles and 3) acquisition-related consideration adjustments. They will not result in any cash inflows or outflows. We believe that using non-GAAP measures help our shareholders to have a better understanding of our operating results and growth prospects. In addition, given the business nature of Hollysys, it has been a common practice for investors and analysts to use such non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
