Remarkable Achievements of the Asset-light Strategy Help Accumulate Momentum for Future Development

Hong Kong, August 16, 2016 - Landsea Green Properties Co., Ltd., (“Landsea Green Properties” or the “Company” and its subsidiaries collectively the“Group”, stock code:00106), China’s leading integrated property development services company with greentechnology, is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 June2016 (“the Period”).

During the Period under review, the Group continued to further implement the transformation and upgraded strategy of “product-differentiation, asset-light and market-globalization” in 2016 to proactively develop various property development projects, and achieved satisfactory results in development and sales. The Group’s revenue rose by 1.1 times (restated) to RMB795 million, of which, income from provision of property development and management services was approximately RMB234 million,and income from provision of property development and management services received from independent third parties and cooperative partners was approximately RMB169 million.

During the Period, the Group’s contracted sales of “Products of Landsea” (which refers to the comprehensive development and operation of projects performed by Landsea) was approximately RMB10.94 billion, with contracted gross floor areas of approximately 747,000 square meters, largely increased by 3.4 times as compared with same period last year. Contracted sales amount of approximately RMB4.98 billion with contracted gross floor areas of approximately 371,000 square meters was derived from the entrusted development and management services by Landsea Group Co. Ltd. (“Landsea Group”) and independent third parties. The significant growth in revenue and contracted sales not only demonstrated that the Group achieved rapid development through its unique core competence under the current strategy, but also showed the market’s recognition of Landsea’s product quality.

During the Period, the net profit of the Group was approximately RMB131 million,representing a decrease of approximately 23.4% (restated) as compared with same period last year. The main reason for the decrease was due to the development of the projects which the Group provides property development and management services to Landsea Group pursuant to a property development and management services agreement entered into between the Group and Landsea Group in 2014 was nearly completed after two years, resulting in a decrease in related property development and management service fee income in the first half of 2016. The Group has been actively accumulating core experience in property development and management services over the recent two years, and the property development and management services income received from independent third parties by the Group has increased rapidly during the Period. This proved that the Group has seen preliminary results in the optimization of the organization structure, the accumulation of experience in comprehensive property development and the enhancement in the capacity of operations and development services since it gained access to Hong Kong’s capital markets, resulting in less reliance on Landsea Group and developing independent third-party business actively with its own core competitiveness.

In the first half of the year, the Group seized market opportunities resulting in a rapid increase in the number of its projects and further expansion of its business footprint. The Group obtained 15 projects situated in Nanjing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou,Wuhan, Chengdu and the US, representing an increase of approximately 1,685,333 square meters in total gross floor area and an increase of approximately 593,115 square meters in total gross floor area attributable to the Group. As at 30 June 2016, the Group had total land reserves with gross floor area of approximately 4,674,296 square meters and total gross floor area of approximately 2,104,159 square meters attributable to the Group. In addition, the Group established a real estate company in Beijing at the end of last year, and acquired two projects with aggregated gross floor areas of 287,289 square meters in Tianjin in January 2016. The real estate company in Beijing was engaged in the expansion and operation in cities in Northern China such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shanxi. This move signals Landsea’s penetration into the markets of Northern China after having strategically focused on key markets in cities along the Yangtze River, which is essential to Landsea’s layout arrangement across China.

During the Period, Landsea has strategically consolidated its ancillary businesses related to green properties, aiming at developing a listed platform with vertically-integrated business capabilities focusing on green property development and green services, and further implementing the transformation and upgrading strategy of “product- differentiation, asset-light and market-globalization”. It laid a solid foundation for the Group’s operation and created great momentum for the growth of the Group’s sales revenue.

Advantages in product differentiation has long been the core competence that makes Landsea stand out from other developers, and will be the starting point of Landsea’s new strategy. The Group participated in the old building rehabilitation project for the first time last year, and secured New Mansion project in Hongqiao District, Shanghai and an old building rehabilitation project in Putuo District, Shanghai in March 2016 with an aggregated gross floor area of 34,193 square meters. It is expected that the New Mansion project will be launched for sale in the second half of 2016. The Group aims to enhance the overall quality through reproducing environment-friendly products by applying Landsea’s differentiated production technologies so as to call for higher selling prices.Building rehabilitation projects have prosperous market opportunities in the first-tier cities, which was applicable to not only residential properties, but also public properties such as office buildings, hospitals and schools, showing strong market demand. Through the application of differentiated technologies together with solid capital resources, the Group will actively develop a business model for building rehabilitation and quickly tap into such a promising market.

On the basis of Landsea’s competitive advantage in product-differentiation, the Group has actively implemented an asset-light transformation strategy. The Group did not compete in the truculent land transaction market in top tier cities during the Period, but secured a number of projects through acquisition of stocked land, acquisition of equity interests, as well as equity participation in project companies in the non-public market.Those new projects secured can be categorized into entrusted property development and management projects, projects with minority interests, as well as joint venture and acquisition projects.

Moreover, contracted amount of entrusted property development management with independent third parties realized a significant growth. Since 2016, Landsea expects to maintain average equity in projects at around 30%, which is more or less the same as that of U.S. developers in general. Landsea is dedicated to learn from other real estate developers in developed economies, aiming to become an integrator of high-end resources in the real estate industry, as well as a vertically integrated real estate development service provider that combines investment, corporate finance,development, operation and sustainable development.
