天赐材料做“减法”：项目投资规模“腰斩”

Core Viewpoint - The company, Tianqi Materials, has announced a significant reduction in its planned investment for a lithium battery electrolyte project, cutting the production capacity from 300,000 tons to 250,000 tons and canceling a 100,000-ton battery recycling project, resulting in a total investment decrease from 1.332 billion yuan to no more than 600 million yuan [2][4]. Group 1: Project Changes - The company decided to adjust the original plan for the "300,000 tons lithium battery electrolyte expansion and 100,000 tons iron lithium battery recycling project" due to market changes and site conditions [2][4]. - The total investment for the revised project is capped at 600 million yuan, representing a 55% reduction from the original plan [4]. - The cancellation of the battery recycling project was primarily due to the unsuitability of the originally planned construction site, not a withdrawal from the recycling sector [4]. Group 2: Financial Performance - The adjusted 250,000 tons electrolyte project is expected to generate an average annual revenue of 3.674 billion yuan and an average annual net profit of 180 million yuan once fully operational [4]. - The company has reported a recovery in performance, with a projected net profit for 2025 expected to be between 1.1 billion and 1.6 billion yuan, marking a year-on-year increase of 127.31% to 230.63% [6]. - The growth in profit is attributed to increased demand in the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets, along with improved profitability from core raw material production and cost control [6]. Group 3: Strategic Positioning - The company has established a preliminary full industry chain layout from upstream raw materials to electrolyte and waste battery recycling, enhancing its ability to withstand raw material price fluctuations [5]. - Recent agreements with Guoxuan High-Tech and Zhongchuang Xinhang for long-term supply of electrolytes, totaling over 1.5 million tons over the next three years, indicate a strong market position [6]. - Analysts from Western Securities and Kaiyuan Securities have issued "buy" ratings for the company, citing the price increase of lithium hexafluorophosphate and the company's strategic positioning in solid-state battery materials as key factors [6].
