1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The implementation of the debt - resolution package has restricted the financing of traditional urban investment companies, and localities have established industrial companies. The report analyzes the characteristics of platform companies that achieved their first - time bond financing since 2025 to provide references for industrial companies' bond financing [1]. - Platform companies should focus on market - oriented operations, policy alignment, and combine external support with self - development for successful bond financing and long - term development [27][28][29]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Bond First - time Financing Subject Characteristics 3.1.1 Overall Overview - From January to July 2025, 149 platform companies achieved their first - time bond financing, reaching 84% of the whole year of 2024. Only 7 out of these companies had over 30% of their revenue from public welfare business, indicating the positive progress of the industrial transformation of urban investment companies [2]. 3.1.2 Regional Distribution - In the past two years, the regional distribution of first - time bond - issuing platforms was highly concentrated in four eastern coastal provinces (Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Guangdong), accounting for over 50%. However, from January to July 2025, their combined proportion decreased, while the proportion of central provinces such as Anhui, Henan, and Hubei increased slightly, and some of the twelve key provinces also had new additions [5]. 3.1.3 Credit Rating - From January to July 2025, the credit levels of first - time bond - issuing platforms were still mainly AA +, but the structure changed. The proportion of AAA and AA + level platform companies decreased year - on - year, while that of AA level increased, and the central level shifted down. Also, 3 platform companies without a subject rating issued bonds, indicating a marginal relaxation of market access [7]. 3.1.4 Shareholder Hierarchy - From January to July 2025, the direct shareholding ratio of the government and related institutions in platform companies dropped to 44%, showing a transformation from "direct intervention" to "indirect control". Platform companies prefer to expand financing through their subsidiaries, which have competitive advantages in the bond market [9]. 3.1.5 First - time Bond Fund - Raising Purposes - In recent years, the purposes of platform companies' first - time bond fund - raising were characterized by "stabilizing debt + promoting development". From January to July 2025, the proportion of using funds for debt repayment and working capital replenishment decreased, while the proportion of bonds invested in major projects such as industrial park renewal and rural revitalization, science and technology innovation projects, and those supporting small and medium - sized enterprises increased [11][12]. 3.1.6 Business Direction - In 2025, only 5% of the first - time bond - issuing platforms still focused on public welfare businesses such as infrastructure construction and land consolidation, while industrial park operation, public utilities, real estate, finance, and cultural and tourism operation became the main areas of transformation [14]. 3.1.7 Financial Performance - Asset scale: The central value of the total asset scale of high - level platforms was significantly higher than that of low - level platforms, and it was positively correlated with the subject level. The central value of the total asset scale in 2025 was lower than that in 2024 [16]. - Asset - liability ratio: The differences in the asset - liability ratio among different levels of platforms were not large, and the central value in 2025 was lower than that in 2024 [16]. - Net profit: The central value of net profit of high - level platforms was significantly higher than that of low - level platforms, and it was positively correlated with the subject level. The central value of net profit in 2025 was lower than that in 2024, and the overall net profit of platform companies was still at a low level [16]. 3.2 Case Analysis 3.2.1 Case 1: Industrial Investment - Reorganization: Acquired a listed company in the material field in 2023 and received capital injection and asset transfer from the county state - owned assets office in 2024 [18]. - Business structure: Formed a complementary model of "strategic emerging industry support + people's livelihood guarantee" with copper - based alloy materials, irradiated special cables, and medical device distribution as the main businesses [21]. - Financial performance: All revenues were from market - oriented operations, but government subsidies accounted for a relatively high proportion. It achieved first - time financing due to successful market - oriented transformation, strategic alignment, and regional franchise advantages [21]. 3.2.2 Case 2: Public Utilities - Reorganization: The company's equity was transferred up one level in 2024 and received large - scale capital injection, building a business pattern centered on public utilities [22]. - Business structure: Formed a "heating + water services" dual - wheel - driven public utility system with significant regional franchise advantages [22]. - Financial performance: The proportion of quasi - public welfare income was over 80%, and government subsidies contributed significantly to profits. It achieved first - time financing due to enhanced capital strength and strong regional franchise advantages [22][23]. 3.2.3 Case 3: Cultural and Tourism Operations - Reorganization: Built a diversified business pattern by incorporating multiple subsidiaries in 2022 [25]. - Business structure: Market - oriented business revenue accounted for over 90%, forming a collaborative model of "cultural export leadership, cultural and tourism service support, and transportation network support" [25]. - Financial performance: Operating income accounted for over 90%, but government subsidies were relatively high. It achieved first - time financing due to complementary business sectors, policy support, and improved financial stability [25][26]. 3.3 Platform Company Bond First - time Issuance Insights - Market - oriented operation should be the core of transformation. Platform companies need to transform into industrial operation entities, and the bond market's evaluation logic has shifted from "government credit endorsement" to "self - sustainable operation" [27]. - Policy alignment is the key to financing. Companies should align their resource endowments with national needs and serve major national strategies [28]. - External support and self - development are both necessary. External support provides a foundation for first - time financing, but self - development is crucial for long - term competitiveness [28].
