Management Discussion and Analysis
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
China is the world's most populous country and one of the fastest growing infant milk formula markets in the world. With continued urbanization and the rise in the number of women in the workplace, an increasing number of mothers in China have grown to accept the convenience and nutritional benefits offered by infant milk formula products as a supplement to and/or substitute for breast milk for their infants. Due to the decline in birth rates, the growth of the retail sales value of the infant milk formula market in China is anticipated to slow down in the future. However, China's infant milk formula market is expected to continue to grow, driven by the growth of the high-end market segment supported by positive factors such as an increasing focus on product quality and safety, appreciation for the nutrients of infant milk formulas, favorable industry policies, as well as growth in consumers' confidence in the quality of and increased preference for China's infant milk formula products. China has also implemented the "Universal Two-Child Policy". The following are key market drivers and trends of the infant milk formula market in China:
- Growth in consumers' confidence in the quality of and preference for China's infant milk formula products. With the enhancement in the quality management regime of China's dairy industry and the increased competitiveness of Chinese dairy brands, consumers' confidence in and consumption preference for China's infant milk formula products continued to increase. The growth in consumer demand for infant milk formula products will drive the production and sales of China's infant milk formula products, which could in turn better satisfy consumers' diversified and unique consumption needs.
- Growth of the high-end infant milk formula segment. Due to increasing urbanization, rising disposable income and growing health awareness, the demand for high-end infant milk formula products, particularly super-premium products, is expected to be the driving force of the overall infant milk formula industry in China. According to the National Bureau of Statistics' 2019 Statistical Report on National Economic and Social Development, China's total economic volume in 2019 is close to RMB100 trillion, with a per capita GDP of RMB70,892, exceeding USD$10,000 (converted at the average exchange rate for the year), which will in turn increase the consumption momentum of China's high-end infant milk formula products.
- Increasing urbanization and rising disposable income. The increase in the urbanization rate and the per capita annual disposable income of Chinese residents will enhance the purchasing power of consumers, allowing them to purchase more infant milk formula products, especially high-end products. Lower-tier cities as well as rural areas in China are becoming wealthier and more urbanized, and families in such regions are increasingly able to afford higher-quality infant milk formula products. In general, these regions have larger populations and therefore higher potential for consumption growth.

Management Discussion and Analysis
-
Favorable industry policies by the PRC government:
o The National Development and Reform Commission of China unveiled the Action Plan for the Promotion of Domestic Infant Milk Formula (國產嬰幼兒配方乳粉提升行動方案) in May 2019, aiming to increase the portion of domestically manufactured infant milk formula in China with a target to maintain a 60% self-sufficient level in the industry, and to encourage the use of fresh milk in the production of infant milk formula.
o The Administrative Measures for the Registration of Product Formulas of Infant Formula Milk Powder (嬰幼 兒配方乳粉產品配方註冊管理辦法) (issued in June 2016 and became effective on 1 January 2018) limit each registered infant milk formula product manufacturer to the registration of up to three product series, resulting in a higher market concentration which would benefit major infant milk formula market players with a strong presence in small cities and rural areas in China. - Low level of exclusive breastfeeding rate. The rate of infants that are fed exclusively with breast milk for the first six months after birth was 29% in 2019. The increasing resemblance of infant milk formula to breast milk, availability of infant milk formula and inconvenience of breastfeeding for working mothers are among the primary factors that have influenced a mother's choice of whether or not to breastfeed her baby. With China's continued economic growth and urbanization process, breastfeeding rates are forecasted to remain at low levels, creating more demand for infant milk formula products.
The infant milk formula market in China has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Pandemic") in terms of production and logistics distribution in the first quarter of 2020. However, due to China's effective control of the Pandemic and the robust demand for infant milk formula products, the retail sales value of infant milk formula in China is expected to remain stable in 2020.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Dairy Products
The Group's infant milk formula products are designed to closely simulate the composition of the breast milk of Chinese mothers through in-house research and development formulations, with the aim of achieving an optimal balance of key ingredients for Chinese babies based on their biological physique. The Group offers a diversified portfolio of products which caters to a wide range of customer base at different prices. In addition to super-premium and premium, the Group also offers a portfolio of well-known brands spanning the regular infant milk formula series as well as other products such as dairy products for adults and students and rice powder dietary supplement products.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Sales and Distribution Network
The Group primarily sells its products through an extensive nationwide distribution network of over 1,900 offline customers with more than 119,000 retail points of sale as at 30 June 2020. The Group's offline customers are distributors who sell its products to retail outlets as well as maternity store operators, supermarkets and hypermarket chains in some cases. Revenue generated from sales to the Group's offline customers accounted for 87.0% of its total revenue from dairy products for the six months ended 30 June 2020.
To capture the rapid growth from e-commerce sales in China, particularly among younger generations of consumers, the Group's products are also sold directly on some of the largest e-commerce platforms as well as through its own website and mobile applications.
Production Capacity Improvements
The Group continued to optimize its production arrangements to increase its capacity and efficiency. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had seven production facilities to manufacture its products with a designed annual production capacity of 192,400 tonnes in total. The Group regularly upgrades and expands its production facilities to meet its production needs. In anticipation of the Group's continued robust growth and increasing demand for its products, the Group is expanding one of its existing production facilities (our Longjiang plant) and constructing one new production facility (our Harbin plant).
Marketing
The Group is a pioneer in China's infant milk formula market by positioning its brand as "More Suitable for Chinese Babies" (更適合中國寶寶體質) and has an established strong brand association with this message. The Group's innovative online and offline marketing strategies have enabled Feihe to become one of the most widely recognized and reputable infant milk formula brands among Chinese consumers today. The Group's marketing strategy consists of three key components:
- Face-to-faceseminars, including Mother's Love seminars, Carnivals and Roadshows. In the six months ended 30 June 2020, more than 330,000 face-to-face seminars were held in total, which include more than 144,000 online face-to-face seminars and 186,000 offline face-to-face seminars;
- Maximize online interactivity with consumers; and
- Targeted and results-driven exposure on media.
Vitamin World USA
The Group acquired the retail health care business of Vitamin World in early 2018 through Vitamin World USA ("Vitamin World USA"). Vitamin World USA engages in the retailing of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other nutritional supplements. It operated 62 specialty stores across the United States of America (the "United States"), mostly in malls and outlet centres, and employed over 340 people as at 30 June 2020. The Group also sells such products through its own website Vitamin World USA, and e-commerce platforms. Revenue generated from nutritional supplement products was RMB186.3 million, accounting for 2.1% of the Group's total revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2020.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
The Group's revenue increased by 47.8% from RMB5,891.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 to RMB8,706.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020, primarily due to (i) an increase in revenue generated from the high-end infant formula product series primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from Super-premium Astrobaby and Super-premium Organic Zhenzhi product series, (ii) an increase in revenue generated from regular infant milk formula product series primarily attributable to the enhanced recognition of the Group's brand, and (iii) the Group's swift response to the development of the Pandemic in China, which helped minimize the impact of the Pandemic on the Group's production, logistics and sales. The decrease in the revenue from nutritional supplement products during the same periods was primarily due to the store closures resulting from the Pandemic in the United States.
The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group's revenue by product category for the periods indicated.

Management Discussion and Analysis
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group financed its operations primarily through cash flows from operations, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, and net proceeds from the global offering of the Company (the "Global Offering"). The Group monitors its bank balances on a daily basis and conduct monthly reviews of our cash flows. We also prepare a monthly cash flow plan and forecast, which is submitted for approval by our Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Finance Department, to ensure that we are able to maintain an optimum level of liquidity and meet our working capital needs.
In addition, we also used cash to purchase wealth management products. The underlying financial assets of the wealth management products generally are a basket of assets with a combination of money market instruments such as money market funds, interbank lending and time deposits, debt, bonds and other assets such as assets in insurance, trust fund plans and letters of credit. We form our portfolio of wealth management products with the view of achieving (i) a relatively low level of risk, (ii) good liquidity and (iii) an enhanced yield. Our investment decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and after due and careful consideration of a number of factors, including but not limited to our overall financial condition, market and investment conditions, economic developments, investment cost, duration of investment and the expected returns and potential risks of such investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of RMB10,583.3 million, which primarily consisted of cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted for use.
Net Proceeds from the Global Offering
For net proceeds from the Global Offering, please see "Use of Net Proceeds from Initial Public Offering".
Bank and Other Borrowings
As at 30 June 2020, the Group's interest-bearing bank and other borrowings were approximately RMB1,236.6 million, of which RMB344.6 million are repayable within one year and the remaining balances are repayable within two to five years. 3.7% of the interest-bearing bank and other borrowings were bearing interest at fixed rates. Apart from RMB45.9 million and RMB1,040.7 million of such borrowings, which were denominated in US dollars and Canadian dollars, respectively, the rest of the Group's borrowings were denominated in Renminbi.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had net assets of RMB14,362.9 million, comprising current assets of RMB17,336.0 million, non-current assets of RMB5,171.2 million, current liabilities of RMB6,213.4 million and non-current liabilities of RMB1,930.9 million.
The Group's gearing ratio was calculated by net debt divided by the capital plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, as shown in the consolidated statements of financial position less cash and bank balances, time deposits, restricted cash and pledged deposits. Total capital is calculated as equity holders' funds (i.e. total equity attributable to equity holder of the Company), as shown in the consolidated statements of financial position. The Group's gearing ratio decreased from (0.49) as at 31 December 2019 to (0.68) as at 30 June 2020.

Management Discussion and Analysis
INTEREST RATE RISK AND EXCHANGE RATE RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk due to changes in interest rates of interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, we have not used any derivatives to hedge interest rate risk.
We have transactional currency exposures mainly with respect to (i) our bank and other loans denominated in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars; and (ii) our investment in the construction of the overseas plant in Canada, which is made in Canadian dollars. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, we did not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of other foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. We will monitor our foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure in accordance with our plans to develop overseas business.
MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group did not have any material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries or associated companies.
PLEDGE OF THE GROUP'S ASSETS

As at 30 June 2020, the total pledged group assets amounted to approximately RMB2,193.1 million, representing a decrease of RMB3,269.1 million as compared to the beginning of 2020.
FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS OR CAPITAL ASSETS

Management Discussion and Analysis
Feihe will leverage the core capabilities of its dairy engineering academician workstation of Heilongjiang Feihe Dairy Products Co., Ltd. to build four platforms in 2020, namely, the Frontier Competition Research Platform, the Technology Development Platform, the Technology Cooperation Platform and the Intellectual Property Right Platform. These platforms will establish a mechanism for cooperation with the top scientific research institutions to foster development in the fields of global agriculture and farming, nutritional science, food innovation and life sciences. In addition, Feihe will also build technology platforms in areas such as the development of breast milk simulated raw materials, biological function enhancement technologies and agriculture and farming development. Feihe's basic research will continue to focus on the important features of breast milk of Chinese mothers as well as the development of immune system and brain to discover raw materials that are closer simulates of breast milk. Furthermore, Feihe will adhere to the concept of "Original Innovation" and establish a model which covers the entire industrial chain including agriculture and farming development, technology development and product development, which will in turn realise its vision of "Managing the Lifelong Health of Human Beings".
Enhancing brand power by continuously providing value-added consumer services
In the past 58 years, Feihe has always regarded the infant milk formula business as a business of conscience, a business for mothers and a business for the nation. As a leading brand for domestic infant milk formula products, Feihe's commitment to social responsibilities has brought hope and joy to millions of families through its constantly optimized products and services for Chinese babies. Feihe will enhance its brand image by placing customers at its center. It will continuously develop suitable media channels to reach consumers, build brand IP and improve brand communication with customers in first-andsecond-tier cities, so as to enhance customers' recognition of Feihe as a professional infant nutrition expert.
In the future, Feihe will continue to provide value-added consumer services. Feihe has fully upgraded the Super-premium Astrobaby ("星飛帆") product series. It will further promote concept of natural life and parenting through its Super- premium Organic Zhenzhi ("臻稚有機") product series and its innovative Zhuoran (茁然) infant milk formula products. The abovementioned efforts will improve super-premium consumers' product experience. During the Pandemic, Feihe provided parents with high-quality parenting content through online live broadcast, Star Mother Class and other innovative forms. Feihe will strive to provide high-quality nutrition, health and parenting content services.
Feihe will continue to campaign for 28 May as "Chinese Baby Day". Such campaign will improve Feihe's brand power and influence, allow Feihe to gain consumer trust and preference in markets in first - and second-tier cities, and enhance consumers' awareness and demand for our products. We will act more proactively to embrace new technologies, directions and business models, gain deeper insights into consumer needs and focus more on product innovation and R&D, in order to provide consumers with high-quality products, services and experience.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Empower business development with digital and intelligent transformation
Feihe will fully digitalise its businesses, processes and touchpoints.

Feihe will also continue to construct middle data platform and support management decisions with the help of big data analytics, which will in turn improve its business operations, thereby contributing to the exploration and innovation of its business. Feihe will also strive to provide consumers with "fresher and more suitable" products through an optimized supply chain management by collaborating with external partners in the ecosystem, including the upstream partners and downstream partners in the industry value chain, on data sharing and intelligence synergy. The exploration of smart marketing and smart supply chain, will rely on the middle data platform. As such middle data platform gradually matures, it will enable interactive sharing, exploration and prediction capabilities in network collaboration and data intelligence, which will improve consumer experience.
Enable problem-solving through innovative marketing
In the first half of 2020, businesses were moved to online platforms due to the Pandemic. Feihe responded swiftly and made suitable arrangements for production and supply. Feihe has fully utilized the industrial synergies in the industrial value chain. The close collaboration between its production, logistics, and customer service centers, as well as the collaboration within the industrial value chain as a result of our proposal to our partners, ensured that there was no shortage of products in market and stores. Feihe also provided secure and contactless door-to-door delivery services, which effectively guaranteed the availability of milk powder for many Chinese babies, thereby contributed to the stability of China's infant milk formula market.
As the online operation model features "transparency, realness, zero distance and unrestricted by physical space", Feihe quickly transformed the traditional operation model to a "fast, abundant, accurate and comprehensive" online operation model. Such online operation model allowed Feihe to quickly find the right connection with customers, and provide tailored comprehensive protection system for mothers and babies.
Feihe believes that the current consumption scene is facing great changes, the convenience of online platforms has become the mainstream, and enterprises should strive to win the hearts of customers and gain their trust. Feihe will study the impact of the Pandemic on China's economy and the industry, identify development trends, and actively adapt to the changes in consumption patterns and purchase methods to continuously win the trust and support of consumers. Feihe will work together with other national dairy enterprise brands to satisfy consumers' pursuit of a better life with better products and services.

Independent Review Report
To the board of directors of China Feihe Limited
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 29 to 50, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of China Feihe Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at 30 June 2020 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
30 June 2020
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020 has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of the following revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs", which also include IASs and Interpretations) for the first time for the current period's financial information.
Amendments to IFRS 3 | Definition of a Business |
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 | Interest Rate Benchmark Reform |
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 | Definition of Material |
The nature and impact of the revised IFRSs are described below:
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 provide a new definition of material. The new definition states that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information. The amendments did not have material impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information.
The adoption of other revised IFRSs has had no material impact on the interim financial information of the Group.
Details of the Group's accounting policies applicable from 1 January 2020 are as follows:
Investment in a joint venture
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The Group's investment in a joint venture is stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group's share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses. The Group's share of the post-acquisition results and other comprehensive income of a joint venture is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated other comprehensive income, respectively. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group's investment in the joint venture, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the assets transferred.

9. DIVIDEND
During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Company declared a final dividend of HK$0.1943 per ordinary share, equivalent to a total of approximately RMB1.58 billion for the year ended 31 December 2019 to its shareholders.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the board of directors declared an interim dividend of HK$0.1375 (six months ended 30 June 2019: Nil) per ordinary share, amounting to a total of approximately RMB1.10 billion (six months ended 30 June 2019: Nil).
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT
The calculation of the basic earnings per share amount is based on the profit attributable to owners of the parent and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The weighted average number of ordinary shares has been retrospectively adjusted for the effect of the share subdivision as disclosed in note 16 on the assumption that the share subdivision had been in effect on 1 January 2019.
The calculation of the diluted earnings per share amount for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is based on the profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent and the total of (i) the weighted average number of ordinary shares as used in the basic earnings per share calculation, and (ii) the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise of all outstanding share options as at 30 June 2020 into ordinary shares under the share option scheme.
During the six months ended 30 June 2019, diluted earnings per share equaled the basic earnings per share as there were no potential dilutive ordinary shares in issue for that period.

The Group has a policy of requiring payment in advance from customers for the sale of products (other than cash and credit card sales), except for some major customers, where the trading terms are on credit. The Group grants a defined credit period usually ranging from one to three months from the date of invoice to these customers. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its receivables to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group's trade and bills receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade receivable balances. Trade and bills receivables are non-interest-bearing.
An ageing analysis of the trade and bills receivables as at the end of the period/year, based on the invoice date and net of loss allowance, is as follows:

Financial liabilities | ||||
Interest-bearing bank and other borrowings | 1,236,643 | 4,810,278 | 1,213,322 | 4,738,399 |
Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, pledged deposits, trade and bills receivables, trade and bills payables, financial assets included in prepayments, deposits and other receivables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, amount due from a director, approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
The fair values of the non-current portion of interest-bearing bank and other borrowings have been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The changes in fair value as a result of the Group's own non-performance risk for interest-bearing bank and other borrowings as at 30 June 2020 were assessed to be insignificant.
The fair values of the structured deposits are determined in accordance with discounted cash flow analysis. The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost approximate to their carrying amounts.

The Group did not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: Nil).
During the period, there were no transfers of fair value measurements between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 for financial assets and financial liabilities (year ended 31 December 2019: Nil).
The fair value of the financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income was estimated using the market approach, with an unobservable input as the price-to-book ratio of comparable companies. A 20% (31 December 2019: 20%) increase/decrease in the price-to-book ratio of comparable companies would result in an increase/decrease in fair value by approximately RMB360,000 (31 December 2019: RMB360,000).
