云南这一锂电项目终止！

Core Viewpoint - Fengyuan Co., Ltd. is facing challenges in its lithium battery materials business, leading to the termination of a significant project and ongoing financial losses despite revenue growth in the first half of the year [2][4]. Project Updates - Fengyuan Lithium Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary, has agreed to terminate its investment project in the city of Gejiu, Yunnan, which was initially planned to invest approximately 1.25 billion RMB to build a 50,000-ton lithium battery high-energy cathode material project [3]. - The project was announced in June 2023, with an 18-month construction period aimed for completion by December 31, 2024. However, due to changes in the policy environment, the project failed to progress beyond the preparatory stage [3]. - The decision to terminate the project was made to control investment risks and reallocate funds, as the industry is experiencing structural overcapacity in cathode materials [3]. Financial Performance - In the first half of the year, Fengyuan Co., Ltd. reported revenue of 723 million RMB, a year-on-year increase of 21.23%, but a net loss of 243 million RMB, a significant decline of 201.29% [4]. - The lithium battery cathode materials segment generated 671 million RMB in revenue, accounting for 92.78% of total revenue, with a 68.75% increase in sales volume compared to the previous year [4]. - Despite the increase in sales, the company faced challenges due to long product validation cycles and mismatches between new capacity and downstream demand, leading to insufficient capacity utilization [4]. Capacity and Market Strategy - As of the first half of the year, Fengyuan Co., Ltd. has a total built and under-construction capacity of 315,000 tons for cathode materials, with 240,000 tons already in production [4]. - The company is focusing on strategic partnerships, having signed a framework agreement with BYD to supply lithium iron phosphate materials from April 2025 to March 2028, which is expected to secure capacity consumption [5]. - Fengyuan Co., Ltd. is also advancing its technology by launching high-density lithium iron phosphate materials and overcoming technical challenges in high-nickel ternary materials, aiming to capture high-end market shares [5]. Future Outlook - Based on the current strategies and partnerships, the company's performance in the second half of the year is expected to improve [6].
