Domestic Business

Domestically, the Company recorded total parcel volume exceeding 16.6 billion, representing 25.4% year-over-year growth and outpacing the overall express delivery industry. SF Holding's core business segments each delivered solid progress. The time-definite express business sustained sector-leading momentum, with revenue growth exceeding China's GDP growth rate, driven by the Company's strategy of "scenario-based products and personalized services" that transcends traditional service boundaries to address evolving needs across diverse sectors. The economy express segment delivered robust growth throughout the year, outpacing the industry average growth while refining its pricing strategy for enhanced profitability. The freight segment's annual shipment tonnage achieved over 27% year-on-year growth, securing leading performance in both scale and growth momentum across the industry. The intra-city on-demand delivery business benefited from expansion of the on-demand retail industry and rising market demand, with segment net profit doubling year-over-year to reach a record high.

Supply Chain and International Business

The Company's supply chain and international business achieved RMB 72.9 billion in revenue, a 3.5% increase, with growth tempered by fluctuating ocean freight rates weighing on the freight forwarding business of KLN. Excluding KLN, the Company's core supply chain and international revenue grew 32.3% year-over-year, with growth momentum accelerating in the second half of the year.

SF Holding provides comprehensive, end-to-end supply chain solutions to leading enterprises across industries, combining specialized expertise with intelligent service capabilities spanning domestic and international markets. This growth is fueled by the Company's intensified efforts in penetrating high potential sectors, supported by a dedicated Supply Chain Business Group spanning seven core verticals — high-tech, industrial equipment, automotive, consumer goods, retail food, retail and catering, and life sciences. The Company successfully capitalized on enterprises' accelerating globalization, deepening its global network and expanding overseas warehousing capacity to support end-to-end cross-border supply chain needs.

Reaffirming Shareholder Commitment

The Company is dedicated to returning value to shareholders through RMB 4.46 billion in cash dividends and RMB 1.64 billion in share repurchases. The total amount of the Company's cash dividends and share repurchases in 2025 amounted to RMB 6.1 billion, representing 55% of the full-year net profit to owners of the Company.

The Company also plans to double the cap of its existing A-share repurchase program to RMB 6.0 billion, with the repurchased shares to be used for cancellation, and to launch an H-share repurchase program with a cap of HK$500 million.
