3.1

Details of and reasons for the substantial changes in main items of financial statements and financial indicators of the Company

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company achieved passenger traffic volume of 24,837.09 million passenger-kilometres, representing a year-on-year decrease of 54.38%; served 13.7028 million travelers, representing a year-on-year decrease of 57.06%; and achieved passenger load factor of 67.77%, representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.89 percentage points.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s operating income amounted to RMB15,454 million; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company amounted to RMB- 3,933 million; and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after deducting non-recurring profit and loss amounted to RMB-4,046 million. The Company suffered losses in the first quarter of 2020 mainly due to the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic worldwide since the beginning of 2020. Many countries have imposed travel restrictions, and the demand of passengers to travel have been significantly reduced, which had a significant impact to the transportation industry where the Company operates. The Company drastically reduced flight capacity deployment, which resulted in a substantial decline in revenue.

Details of and reasons for the substantial changes in main items of financial statements


Item	Change compared to the end of last year			Reason for the change
Monetary capital		419.47	%	Primarily due to the fact that the Company conducted research and made judgement on the future operation and reserved capital for the subsequent payments based on the external capital market situation.

Deferred income tax assets		173.39	%	Primarily due to the fact that the Company made provision for deferred income tax assets based on current loss for the deductions in subsequent years.

Contract liabilities		-63.14	%	Primarily due to the significant decline in flight productivity and the decrease in passenger ticket settlement.

Tax payables		-48.03	%	Primarily due to the significant decline in flight productivity and the decrease in the withholding and payment of airport construction charges.

Other current liabilities		97.10	%	Primarily due to the fact that the Company speeded up the pace of financing and increased the issuance of super short-term debentures.


Item	Change compared to the corresponding period last year			Reason for the change
Consumption of aviation fuel		-42.53	%	Primarily due to the sharp decline in the demand for air passenger transportation and the significant decline in flight productivity, and
Airport take-off and landing charges		-46.32	%	thus the aviation fuel costs, take-off and landing costs, food and beverages and supplies costs and sales expenses decreased correspondingly.
Food and beverages and supplies costs		-51.48	%
Sales expenses		-40.52	%
Finance costs		814.55	%	Primarily due to the foreign exchange loss amounted to RMB585 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the foreign exchange gain amounted to RMB1,054 million in the corresponding period of last year, and the increase in interest expenses relating to lease liabilities amounted to RMB137 million.
Net cash flows from operating activities		-214.83	%	Primarily due to a sharp decline in the demand for air passenger transportation and the significant drop in flight productivity, and thus the Company’s operating income decreased significantly.
Net cash flows from investing activities		-78.46	%	Primarily due to the fact that the Company’s investment plans were reduced or delayed in response to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic.
Net cash flows from financing activities		446.46	%	Primarily due to the Company’s aim to maintain stable cash flow by accelerating the pace of financing.

3.4

Warning of and reasons for any expected accumulated losses from the beginning of the year to the end of the following reporting period or substantial changes in profitability compared to the same period last year

The Company has quickly responded to the strike of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic and strived to prevent and combat the epidemic in the country, community and the Company. While ensuring the health and safety of employees and passengers, the Company timely adjusted its operating strategies, such as suspending or adjusting the operation of certain flights, dynamically optimised and adjusted its transportation capacity deployment, actively strived for policy support from all aspects, implemented strict cost control measures, adjusted aircraft introduction schedule, reduced or delayed investment plans, accelerated the pace of financing, and ensured stable cash flow from operations. Although the Company took the above measures in a timely manner, as of the date of this report, there is still great uncertainty in the time span and severity of the epidemic around the world, which may magnify the impact on or result in a delay in the recovery of travel demand. The Company expects that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic will cause significant uncertainties and adverse impact on the results of the Company for the first half of 2020. The Company will continue to pay attention to the progress of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, keep closely updated on the changes in market demand, actively respond to the risks and challenges brought by the epidemic to the Company’s production and operation, and strive to reduce the adverse impact of the epidemic.

The above description of the future situation of the Company is based on preliminary judgment under the current situation and involves certain uncertainties. Investors are reminded of the risks thereof. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
