Summary of China Gas Conference Call Company Overview - China Gas is one of the largest urban gas companies in China, established in 2002 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through a reverse takeover. The company operates over 660 pipeline natural gas franchise projects across more than 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China, including mature assets like LNG filling stations [4][5][6]. Financial Performance - For the fiscal year 2024-2025, China Gas reported revenue of HKD 79.26 billion, net profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 3.25 billion, and free cash flow of HKD 4.66 billion, with total natural gas sales reaching 40 billion cubic meters, indicating signs of performance recovery [2][19]. - The company experienced a revenue decline of 2.6% year-on-year, but net profit grew by 2.1%, marking the first positive growth in net profit in recent years [19]. - The company has maintained a fixed dividend policy, with a current dividend yield of approximately 6.5%, which is relatively high among utility companies in Hong Kong [2][21].

The profit contribution from gas connection projects has significantly decreased from over 50% at its peak to 16% [2][4][14]. Market Dynamics - The company faces challenges from a sluggish real estate market affecting connection project revenues, and soaring global natural gas prices impacting costs. The average procurement cost rose from CNY 2.01 in 2020 to CNY 2.90 in 2022, a 40%-50% increase [10][7]. - The government has implemented a pricing policy to adjust terminal prices in response to procurement cost changes, which is expected to help restore profit margins [8][12]. Growth Prospects - Future natural gas retail volume is expected to maintain low single-digit growth, with overall profits anticipated to grow at a similar rate [3][18]. - The value-added services segment, which includes kitchen-related products and home improvement services, has shown strong growth, contributing significantly to overall profits [15][16][17]. Investment Considerations - China Gas's stock price has increased approximately 6.9 times since early 2009, with an annualized growth rate of 14.8%. However, the stock experienced significant pullbacks from 2021 to early 2024 due to various pressures [2][5]. - The company is viewed as having long-term investment value due to its attractive dividend yield and signs of performance recovery, with a valuation of less than 0.8 times price-to-book ratio [22]. Conclusion - China Gas is positioned to benefit from a recovery in performance and a stable dividend policy, making it an attractive option for long-term investors seeking steady returns in the utility sector [22].
