The company provides risk management solutions for enterprises through basis trading and serves a wide range of clients including individual investors, corporate clients, and various institutions [1].

In 2023, revenue further declined to RMB 62.47 billion (-8.45%), with net profit increasing to RMB 4.03 billion and a net profit margin of 6.4%. The forecast for 2024 indicates a revenue drop to RMB 57.12 billion (-8.56%) with a projected net profit of RMB 4.58 billion and a net profit margin of 8% [2][4]. Revenue Breakdown - The revenue structure shows that domestic futures brokerage accounted for RMB 536.2 million in 2022, increasing to RMB 571.1 million in 2023, but projected to decline to RMB 494.4 million in 2024. Risk management services saw a significant increase from RMB 5,990.5 million in 2022 to RMB 4,999.2 million in 2023, but are expected to drop to RMB 4,485 million in 2024. Offshore financial services revenue rose from RMB 231.1 million in 2022 to RMB 567.3 million in 2023, with a further increase to RMB 654.2 million in 2024 [2]. Challenges in Revenue Generation - The company faced a significant revenue decline in 2024, primarily due to a 25% drop in domestic futures brokerage fees, attributed to intensified market competition and a decrease in overall commission rates. The market share for domestic brokerage fell from 2.5% in 2014 to 1.08% in 2024. Additionally, the risk management business contracted by 10.3% [4][12]. Profitability and Net Income - Despite revenue declines, net profit increased by 13.6% in 2024 to RMB 4.58 billion, driven by significant contributions from offshore brokerage and a favorable high-interest environment. The net profit margin for 2024 was 8%, which is above the industry average of 4%-5% [6][12]. Cash Flow and Financial Health - The company reported a significant cash outflow of RMB 117.58 billion in Q1 2025, primarily due to a 37% decrease in client margin deposits. The reliance on client funds is high, with margin deposits constituting 50.1% of total assets. The liquidity ratio is approximately 1.2x, which is lower than leading competitors but better than the industry average [8][14]. Competitive Position and Market Standing - Nanhua Futures is rated as an AA-level futures company, the highest in the industry, and ranks first among non-brokerage affiliated futures companies in terms of offshore revenue. The company has a strong international presence, with offshore business contributing significantly to its profits [10][11]. Industry Trends and Outlook - The introduction of net accounting policies has significantly impacted revenue for futures companies, with Nanhua being particularly affected due to its high reliance on basis trading. However, the long-term outlook for the futures market remains positive, with expected growth driven by increasing demand for commodities [15][18].
