Management Quote
Mr. Jing JU, Chief Executive Officer of Chindata Group, commented, “We continued to embrace transformation in the second quarter. In China, with the development of digital economy being a long term prospect with certainty, the value of Internet Data Center (“IDC”) industry as key fundamental infrastructure is being increasingly apparent. At the same time, differences in the underlying capabilities of players will likely become a key driver of diverse performance. Pandemic has decelerated the flow of people, technologies and commodities in Pan Asia Pacific emerging market, posing more challenges to the delivery and execution model of industry players. To cope with these challenges, Chindata has remained fully dedicated to core capacity build-up covering green-field development, integrated energy solution and white-labeling of key digital infrastructure equipment. We have maintained the rapid growth of the scale of our deliverable high-value infrastructure and are constantly supporting our industry-leading clients in the zero-carbon transformation and swift scalability of their business in the Pan Asia Pacific region. We hope to join hands with more partners along such course in the future.”
Mr. Dongning WANG, Chief Financial Officer of Chindata Group, commented, “We delivered another strong quarterly performance, keeping healthy growth of revenue and profit while maintaining high-quality cash generation. Revenue for the quarter grew by
