Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the impressive financial performance of Runze Technology, particularly its significant profit increase due to the innovative asset-light operation model in data centers, which separates heavy and light assets [3][5][7]. Financial Performance - In Q3 2025, Runze Technology reported revenue of 1.48 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.61%, and a net profit attributable to shareholders of 3.82 billion yuan, up 598% compared to the same period last year, which is 2.58 times the revenue [4][5]. - For the year-to-date period, the revenue reached approximately 3.98 billion yuan, reflecting a 15.05% increase, while the net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 210.74% to about 4.70 billion yuan [4]. Investment Gains - The company confirmed an investment gain of 3.76 billion yuan from transferring its wholly-owned subsidiary to the "Southern Runze Technology Data Center REIT," which was listed on August 8, 2025 [6][10]. - The underlying asset of this REIT is the Langfang International Information Port A-18 Data Center, which has 5,897 cabinets and a total power capacity exceeding 42 MW, with a total fundraising of approximately 4.5 billion yuan [6]. Asset-Light Operation Model - Runze Technology has pioneered a "light-heavy asset separation" operational model in the data center industry, moving away from the traditional heavy asset model that requires significant upfront investment [7][13]. - The company has historically operated under a "self-invest, self-build, self-hold, self-operate" model, which has led to substantial cash flow challenges due to the heavy asset nature of data centers [7]. Financial Challenges and Solutions - As of September 2025, Runze Technology had approximately 5.4 billion yuan in cash, with short-term borrowings of 1.3 billion yuan and long-term borrowings of 12.4 billion yuan, indicating significant financial pressure [9]. - The securitization of the mature A-18 data center asset allows the company to recover substantial funds for new project construction and to repay part of its debts, thereby reducing its debt ratio [10]. Future Projects - The funds raised from the REIT will be used to address the funding gap for ongoing projects, including the Chongqing Runze (Southwest) International Information Port project, which has a total investment of 880 million yuan and a capital gap of 209 million yuan [12].
