Core Viewpoint - The environmental industry is transitioning from a phase of incremental expansion to one of optimization, as traditional infrastructure markets become saturated. Companies must adapt from construction to operational services to remain competitive [1][3]. Financial Performance - In the first half of 2025, the company reported a revenue of HKD 3.4 billion, a decrease of 3% year-on-year. However, the net profit attributable to shareholders was HKD 191 million, an increase of 33% year-on-year, with basic earnings per share at HKD 0.0923 and a proposed dividend of HKD 0.028 per share [1][2]. - The decline in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in construction revenue, while the increase in net profit was attributed to cost reduction efforts and decreased financial expenses [1][2]. Business Segments - The company's construction service revenue decreased by 4% year-on-year, while operational service revenue grew by 1%, increasing its share of total revenue by 4 percentage points. Operational service revenue now accounts for 94% of total revenue, up from 79% in 2022 [2]. - Despite a 4.1% decrease in biomass processing volume, the company saw a 3% increase in electricity generation and a 27.4% increase in steam sales, indicating improved operational efficiency [2]. Industry Trends - The traditional infrastructure market is becoming saturated, with ecological environment engineering investments expected to drop below 30% by 2025. Client demands are shifting towards long-term operational services, including maintenance and smart upgrades [3]. - The company plans to focus on enhancing its biomass utilization projects and developing high-value projects such as biomass gasification and zero-carbon parks, integrating various renewable energy resources [3]. Biomass Project Transformation - The company operates 54 biomass utilization projects, with a design capacity of approximately 120,000 tons per year. The net profit from biomass projects increased by 15% year-on-year to HKD 626 million, driven by growth in heating services and improved fuel quality [4][5]. - A notable project, the Anhui Dazhong biomass project, achieved profitability for the first time after transitioning from a pure power generation model to a combined heat and power model, capitalizing on local demand for heating [4][5]. Cost Management and Financial Strategies - The company is implementing various measures to control costs and enhance management efficiency, including targeted support for waste disposal projects and reducing operational expenses [5]. - Financially, the company successfully issued a national subsidy asset-backed security (ABS) of RMB 653 million, which helped lower domestic loan interest rates and improve accounts receivable management [5].
