IA business finished the quarter with revenue and contract at $64.6 million and $84.0 million, achieving 12.0% and 4.6% YOY growth respectively. Under the guidance of our “3+1+N” strategy, we continued our effort in market penetration in different industries. In our power business, we signed a contract to provide control solution to urban heat supply network, which is the first project of this kind for Hollysys. In chemical business, we have officially completed the milestone Zhong’an coal-chemical project and will continue to provide maintenance and other services afterwards. The project is one of the largest MAV-DCS projects for Hollysys and we provided total solution covering the integration of up to ten systems including control system, asset management system, alarm system, gas detection system, etc. In the petrochemical industry, with our DCS and SIS being certified by CCS (China Classification Society) earlier this year, we are better qualified in providing control solution in offshore oil related business. Our strategic relationship with CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corporation) proceeded further as we signed several contracts with them in providing control solution to their offshore oil platform this quarter. Besides market penetration through newly-built projects, we have kept leveraging on our nation-wide network to respond to the aftersales demand of different industries, especially as the control products are approaching the end of life cycle. We maintained close relationship with our existing customers through various types of aftersales service, while also exploited the opportunities in obtaining new clients through replacement and upgrade project, especially in the chemical and petrochemical industries. We are also building up our capability in providing more comprehensive solution covering full life cycle of the project. With the recent completion of the acquisition of a small pharmaceutical and chemical design institute, we are able to get involved in potential projects at earlier stage in the future for better opportunities. In our smart factory solution, following our previous breakthrough contract in the power industry, we have signed several contracts this quarter with both existing and new customers from the chemical industry. Such will be long term cooperation so as to turn their production smart comprehensively step by step. We have also broadened our industrial software solution matrix, as we launched a new solution that help to optimize emission control and signed the first contract with a client from the power industry.

 

Rail business finished the quarter with revenue and contract at $44.6 million and $21.0 million, recording 11.5% and 70.6% YOY decrease respectively. In the high-speed rail business, the bidding pace of CRC has not met the expectation of the market. We continued to provide aftersales service on our high-speed rail signaling products covering software upgrade, spare parts sales, maintenance and replacement. Meanwhile, we are also actively preparing ourselves for new products and services in the aftersales high-speed rail market. In the inter-city high-speed rail business, we signed contracts to provide ATP with automatic train operation function to the Pearl River Delta region. In subway business, the subway line for the new Beijing Daxing Airport commenced business operation in September, with Hollysys being the provider of SCADA solution that supports driverless operation. Going forward, our rail business will continue to adhere to the diversity strategy for stable and healthy growth and to improve our local service network for more value-adding and differentiated services. With urbanization as an ongoing process, we will keep leveraging our strong R&D capacity and prepare for the application of various types of railway transportation systems in the future.

 

M&E business finished the quarter with revenue and contract at $14.0 million and $33.6 million, recording 54.2% YOY decrease and 128.0% YOY increase respectively. Given the macro economy in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, risk control remains to be the key focus of our M&E business. In IA overseas business, progress is constantly made in terms of establishment of new cooperation with new key EPC players as well as ongoing cooperation with existing partners. Going forward, we will continue our effort in developing partnership with key EPC players, and strengthening localization in manufacture, marketing and services in overseas business.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating our results, the non-GAAP measures of “Non-GAAP cost of integrated contracts”, “Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses”, “Non-GAAP net income attributable to Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. stockholders”, “Non-GAAP basic earnings per share”, and “Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share” serve as additional indicators of our operating performance and not as a replacement for other measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as they exclude the non-cash share-based compensation expenses, which is calculated based on the number of shares or options granted and the fair value as of the grant date, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and fair value adjustments of a bifurcated derivative. 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 the Company, it has been a common practice for investors to use such non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
