Hollysys Automation Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal year 2017 and the fourth quarter ended on June 30, 2017 (see attached tables). The management of Hollysys, stated:

Industrial automation presented signal of stabilization starting from the second half of the fiscal year. Our third quarter revenue achieved year-on-year growth for the first time in the last two years, recorded at 0.1%, The growth went further up to 6.5% in the fourth quarter, driving fiscal year revenue decline down to single digit while new contracts was recovering. Performance in power remained prominent. We signed contracts to provide products for large power units, including Sichuan Jiangyou 2X1000MW power units, Xinjiang East Hope 4X660MW power units, Guohua Yongzhou 2X1000MW power units, and Datang Pingluo 2X660MW power units. In chemical, several major contracts we signed include DCS and SIS contract for the polysilicon of Xinjiang East Hope Company, DCS and Batch contract for ASIA CUANON in its Waterborne Coatings Project and DCS, AMS and SIS contract for Bosheng Clean Energy Company. In nuclear, we continued to provide products for Tianwan, Fangchenggang and Hongyanhe Nuclear Stations.

In Factory automation, under the transition from an equipment provider to be a total solution provider, we are developing demonstration projects whose practice and model can be transferrable for future application in related industries. We are currently running testing projects for some renowned domestic enterprises, including an automation-and-intelligence boosting project for Haier's Tianjin-based and Qingdao-based wash machine factories, and another project for Hai Di Lao, the famous hot pot chain, to improve efficiency in hot pot base material making.

In high-speed railway, a flat fourth quarter performance was not enough to offset the 48% decline accumulated in the first three quarters. Weakness persisted throughout the year. Limited completion of newly planned railway infrastructure in the early years of the 13th five-year-plan coupled with change in customer procurement timeline present unfavorable short-term outlook and rendered uncertainties and volatilities in the performance of ATP contracts. For ground-based control, we signed contracts to provide TCC to Jinan-Qingdao Line, Haerbin-Jiamusi Line and Jiujingqu Line. For subway, we adhered to the expansion strategy, winning new SCADA contracts in more cities, such as Wuhan Line 21 and Dalian intercity line (from Jinzhou to Pulandianwan).Even with short-term uncertainty, however, outlook for our rail business in the long run remains positive. National mid and long term plan for the high-speed railway describes a sizable market, while we are paying adequate attention to after sale and replacement demand and expanding our products range.

In the mechanical and electrical installation services, although facing uncertain macroeconomic condition in Singapore and South East Asia as well as political tensions in Middle East, M&E recorded high single-digit growth at 9%. Concord, for example, signed a contract to provide electrical installation services for Macau LRT Phase 1 Project. Ongoing economic and political situation in these areas raised concern on performance and should be closely followed. Moreover, management and risk control can be addressed to improve operation efficiency as counter measure. The strategic value of Concord and Bond as customer resources and international sales channels remains significant and we expect a moderate growth in the future.

Operational Results Analysis for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017

Comparing to the prior fiscal year, the total revenues for fiscal year 2017 decreased from $544.3 million to $431.9 million, representing a decrease of 20.6%. Broken down by the revenue types, services revenue increased by 14.9% to $13.8 million, integrated contracts revenue decreased by 19.3% to $385.5 million, and products sales revenue decreased by 40.1% to $32.7 million. In July 2016, the company's interests in Hollycon were diluted from 51.0% to 30.0% and the Company lost the control of Hollycon. As a result, Hollycon's financials would not be included in the Company's consolidated financials from July 2016 on. If Hollycon's revenue was excluded from the comparable figure for the prior fiscal year, the products sales revenue for fiscal year 2017 should be increased by 13.8%, and the total revenues for fiscal year 2017 should be decreased by 16.7%.

Non-GAAP Measures

In evaluating our results, the non-GAAP measures of "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, fair value adjustments of acquisition-related consideration, 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 U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures for the periods indicated:
