Recently, Lanzhou Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lanzhou Financial Holdings") has been awarded a Double AAA credit rating with a stable outlook by Lianhe Credit Rating Co., Ltd. and Dongfang JC Credit Rating Co., Ltd., two authoritative domestic rating agencies. It has become the second municipal state-owned enterprise in Lanzhou to receive this highest domestic credit rating, following Lanzhou Yellow River Ecological Holdings Group. The AAA rating, the highest level in China's credit rating system, signifies that Lanzhou Financial Holdings' capital strength, operational capabilities, risk management level and development prospects have gained full recognition from the capital market. This represents a significant milestone in the company's high-quality development and injects strong confidence into Lanzhou's state-owned enterprise reform and financial empowerment of the real economy.

As the core platform for state-owned financial capital investment and operation established by the CPC Lanzhou Municipal Committee and Lanzhou Municipal People's Government, Lanzhou Financial Holdings has always adhered to the strategic positioning of "serving the local area, serving the real economy, serving industries and serving people's livelihood" since its founding. It has actively played the leading, leveraging, resource allocation and risk mitigation roles of state-owned financial capital to fully serve the high-quality economic and social development of the local area. In recent years, facing new tasks and situations in deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises, under the strong leadership of the municipal party committee and government, Lanzhou Financial Holdings has taken the opportunity of "reconstruction and remolding" to take the initiative, make precise efforts, and explore a path of reform breakthrough, transformation and quality improvement, and empowerment development.

First, reconstructing Lanzhou Financial Holdings. The "new financial holding company" gives full play to the synergistic advantages of financial attributes and industrial integration, builds its own long-chain development system through industry-finance integration, and strives to create a local financial holding industrial empowerment platform integrating financial services, capital operation and industrial cultivation.

Second, remolding business sectors. In line with the overall strategic positioning and future development plan of the "new financial holding company", a "3+2" modern industrial system has been established, namely three core business sectors (financial holding, industrial direct investment and asset management) and two nurturing business sectors (financial digital technology and financial services).

This reconstruction and remolding will build a virtuous cycle development pattern for Lanzhou Financial Holdings, help strengthen Lanzhou's overall financial ecosystem, and form a closed-loop virtuous cycle development mechanism of "capital consolidation—resource activation—leverage expansion—main business strengthening—industrial extension—profit feedback to capital".

With the effective implementation of various reform measures, Lanzhou Financial Holdings has shown a sound development trend of expanded scale, improved efficiency, optimized structure and controllable risks. The company's capital structure has been continuously optimized, with total assets successfully exceeding 10 billion yuan, and its capital strength and risk resistance capacity have been significantly enhanced. Profitability has steadily increased, achieving double growth in both revenue and profit in 2025.

The company's corporate governance structure has been continuously improved, with the deep integration of Party leadership and corporate governance. Internal control management, risk control and operational efficiency have been improved simultaneously, and the market-oriented operation mechanism has become more mature. In accordance with the core idea of "strengthening capital, activating resources, expanding efficiency, focusing on main business, and industry-finance coordination", the company has focused on the urgent needs of the transformation of the financial industry and the high-quality economic development of the city, and promoted key tasks such as state-owned financial capital operation, industrial empowerment and risk prevention and control in a coordinated manner—from emergency turnover providing liquidity support for enterprises, to financing guarantee focusing on "supporting small and micro enterprises and agriculture"; from fund investment helping industrial upgrading, to asset management activating the value of state-owned assets. The company has continuously polished its brand image with honest operation and won market trust with professional services.

Standing at a new historical starting point, Lanzhou Financial Holdings will take this Double AAA credit rating as a new engine, continue to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises under the guidance of the "Strong Provincial Capital" strategy, fully release the advantages of the Double AAA rating, accelerate the construction of the "3+2" business system, strengthen and optimize its main responsibilities and businesses, strive to improve operational efficiency and strictly adhere to the bottom line of financial risks. The company will give full play to the advantages of the state-owned financial platform, continuously guide financial resources to accurately serve the real economy, take the initiative to assume responsibilities and take active actions in serving local industrial upgrading, empowering the development of local enterprises and resolving local financial risks. With stronger strength and more pragmatic work style, it will contribute more solid and dynamic financial holding power to the high-quality economic and social development of Lanzhou.
