Core Viewpoint - The company reported a significant decline in both revenue and net profit for the first half of the year, primarily due to adverse market conditions in the photovoltaic industry [1] Financial Performance - The company achieved operating revenue of 1,082.65 million yuan, a decrease of 38.16% compared to the same period last year [1] - The net profit attributable to shareholders was -15.82 million yuan, representing a decline of 216.78% year-on-year [1] Industry Context - The photovoltaic industry is facing challenges such as supply-demand imbalances and mismatched production capacity, leading to intensified competition [1] - Continuous low prices along the photovoltaic supply chain, coupled with cost-cutting pressures from downstream customers, have significantly impacted the company's photovoltaic glass business [1] Inventory Management - The company adopted a cautious approach by making provisions for inventory write-downs on certain photovoltaic glass stocks, contributing to the substantial decline in net profit [1]

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the company is "Buy" and is maintained [8]. Core Views - In the first half of 2025, the company reported a revenue of 40.509 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 7.51%, with a net profit attributable to shareholders of -4.955 billion yuan. In Q2 2025, revenue reached 24.575 billion yuan, showing a year-on-year growth of 1.44% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 54.24%, with a net profit of -2.363 billion yuan [2][6]. Summary by Sections Financial Performance - In H1 2025, the company sold 161,300 tons of silicon, capturing approximately 30% of the global market share. The silicon consumption per kilogram of silicon material decreased to below 1.04 kg/kg.si, with steam consumption nearly zero. The N-type material's metal content dropped to below 0.1 ppbw, and surface metal content reduced to below 0.2 ppbw, indicating potential for further cost optimization. However, due to the decline in silicon prices, the losses in the silicon business are expected to widen in Q2 2025 [11]. - The company maintained its position as the global leader in battery shipments, with H1 2025 battery sales reaching 49.89 GW. The company continues to explore cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, with key competitive indicators such as product A-grade rate, conversion efficiency, and non-silicon costs leading the industry. The newly launched TNC2.0 component product achieved a maximum power output of 645W (210R version). The unit profitability in Q2 2025 is expected to show significant recovery compared to Q1 due to the impact of domestic price increases [11]. - In the component business, H1 2025 component sales reached 24.52 GW (with 5.08 GW sold in overseas markets), representing a year-on-year growth of 31.33%. The domestic distributed shipment continues to lead the market, and the centralized sales maintain good cooperation with major state-owned power enterprises. The company’s production indicators, such as A-grade rate and fragment rate, are industry-leading and further optimized, with non-battery costs per watt decreasing by 11% year-on-year and period expenses dropping by 31% year-on-year, indicating a recovery in profitability in Q2 compared to Q1 [11]. - Financially, the company recognized an asset impairment loss of 2.421 billion yuan due to inventory depreciation in H1 2025, with Q2 accounting for 1.625 billion yuan, which negatively impacted performance. The company demonstrated excellent expense control, with a period expense ratio of 8.46% in Q2 2025, a decrease of 4.99 percentage points quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to a reduction in management expense ratio to 2.5%. The asset-liability ratio decreased by 0.32 percentage points to 71.9% in Q2 2025, and if convertible bond liabilities are excluded, the ratio stands at 66%. The company has sufficient liquidity with cash and trading financial assets amounting to 33.2 billion yuan [11].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The supply of polysilicon is increasing while the demand is weakening. It is expected that the polysilicon market will continue to adjust next week. The price is supported by cost and policy, but the upside space is limited by downstream acceptance, and it will likely continue to show a volatile trend. The demand for industrial silicon is steadily declining, but the supply is also decreasing, and the overall situation remains volatile. Today, polysilicon fell following the trend of coking coal. Attention should be paid to whether it will break through the support level. Short - term investors can buy on dips, and stop - loss if it breaks through [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - The closing price of the main contract of polysilicon was 48,690 yuan/ton, down 2,295 yuan; the position of the main contract was 154,537 lots, up 17,059 lots.

Industry Situation - The monthly output of polysilicon was 105,000 tons, up 5,000 tons; the monthly import volume was 1,170 tons, up 57 tons [2]. Downstream Situation - The price of silicon wafers was stable, and some enterprises raised prices, but downstream buyers were hesitant. The weak terminal demand gradually emerged. Although the quotes of the photovoltaic industry chain increased, the pattern of strong supply and weak demand remained unchanged, and the terminal transaction pressure was high, which restricted the demand for polysilicon [2]. Key Points to Watch - There was no news today [2].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Report's Core View - The supply of polysilicon is increasing while the demand is weakening, and it is expected that the polysilicon market will continue to adjust next week. Although the price is supported by costs and policies, the upside space is limited by the downstream acceptance, and it is likely to continue to show a volatile trend. The demand for industrial silicon has started to decline steadily, but the supply has also decreased, and the overall situation remains volatile. Polysilicon continued to decline today, and there is still room for further decline. If it subsequently breaks below 49,500, it is recommended to gradually reduce short positions, and after the sentiment stabilizes, long positions can be established.
