Xin Lang Cai Jing·2025-10-29 08:27Core Viewpoint - In the first three quarters of 2025, the company achieved operating revenue of 95.872 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 9.72%, while net profit attributable to shareholders was 6.437 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.87%. The decline in operating revenue was mainly due to a decrease in on-grid electricity and electricity prices, while the increase in net profit was driven by lower coal prices improving fuel costs [1][2][3]. Financial Performance - The company reported operating revenue of 95.872 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2025, down 9.72% year-on-year. Net profit attributable to shareholders was 6.437 billion yuan, up 15.87% year-on-year. The non-recurring net profit was 6.211 billion yuan, an increase of 20.74% year-on-year. The quarterly net profit was 2.533 billion yuan, reflecting a growth of 20.32% year-on-year [2][3]. - The weighted return on equity was 12.73%, an increase of 1.87 percentage points year-on-year, with basic earnings per share at 0.54 yuan, up 22.73% year-on-year [2]. Cost and Profitability - The decrease in operating revenue was primarily due to a decline in on-grid electricity and electricity prices. However, net profit growth was supported by lower coal prices, which improved fuel costs. The financial expenses for the first three quarters were 2.414 billion yuan, a decrease of 15.6% year-on-year due to reduced financing costs [3][4]. - The management expense ratio and financial expense ratio were 1.47% and 2.52%, with changes of +0.12 and -0.18 percentage points year-on-year, respectively [3]. Electricity Generation and Market Dynamics - The total electricity generation for the first three quarters was 201.329 billion kWh, a decrease of approximately 5.87% year-on-year, while on-grid electricity was 189.243 billion kWh, down about 5.94% year-on-year. The decline in on-grid electricity was attributed to the growth of renewable energy installations in the region, which squeezed the output capacity of thermal power [4]. - The average on-grid electricity price was 509.55 yuan per MWh, a decrease of approximately 2.76% year-on-year [4]. Future Outlook - Recent rebounds in coal prices are noted, but the company believes that the upward potential for coal prices is limited due to energy supply policies and downstream demand. The profitability of thermal power is expected to remain stable, and operational performance is anticipated to grow steadily. Projected net profits for 2025 to 2027 are estimated at 7.533 billion yuan, 7.848 billion yuan, and 8.128 billion yuan, respectively [4].
