Summary of the Conference Call for Pingmei Shenma Group Co., Ltd. Industry Overview - The coal industry is facing challenges due to safety issues and production imbalances, leading to a decline in coal production and sales in 2026. The expected raw coal output is nearly 32 million tons, with coking coal production at 13 million tons, a significant increase from 11 million tons in 2025 [2][3]. Key Points Production and Sales - The overall performance forecast for 2026 is average, with both raw coal and coking coal production and sales experiencing declines due to severe safety conditions and temporary production disruptions [3]. - The company plans to produce approximately 32 million tons of raw coal and 13 million tons of coking coal in 2026, reflecting a substantial increase in coking coal output compared to 2025 [3]. Pricing and Revenue - Coal prices have fluctuated significantly, contributing to revenue declines. The average price of coking coal at the beginning of 2025 was 1,750 CNY/ton, decreasing to 1,660 CNY/ton by the end of the year. The comprehensive selling price of coal is expected to drop by nearly 300 CNY/ton compared to 2025 and 2024 [2][5]. - The pricing mechanism for long-term contracts is primarily quarterly, with monthly adjustments. The price of main coking coal has seen various adjustments throughout 2025, with a notable drop to 1,380 CNY/ton in June [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - During the important national conference, steel mills are expected to implement phased emission reduction controls, putting pressure on the rigid demand for coking coal and other furnace materials. The supply and demand mismatch during the mine's resumption of production may cause the prices of coking coal and coke to perform weaker than those of finished products [2] Summary by Relevant Catalog Market Performance - Yesterday, the futures prices of the ferrous metal sector fluctuated and declined, with coking coal and coke performing relatively weaker [2] Policy Impact - Some steel enterprises in North China have received a notice of temporary independent emission reduction during the 2026 national important conference from March 4th to March 11th, which requires enterprises to implement phased emission reduction control with a blast furnace load reduction of no less than 30%. This emission reduction news has made it difficult for coking coal and coke prices to rebound [2] Supply Side - This week, coal mines have officially entered the peak period of resumption of production, and most private coal mines have started to resume production. The daily production of raw coal and clean coal this week is 1.516 million tons and 649,000 tons respectively, an increase of 430,000 tons and 190,000 tons compared with the previous week. The Ganqimaodu Port of Mongolian coal has resumed customs clearance, with a customs clearance volume of about 180,000 tons on February 23rd, and the inventory in the port supervision area is still at a relatively high level [2] Demand Side - This week, the average daily hot metal output of steel mill blast furnaces is about 2.33 million tons. Affected by the environmental protection and emission reduction policy next week, the growth rhythm of hot metal output is expected to slow down [2]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The coal and coke market sentiment is changeable, and the futures prices are oscillating. The overall weak trend of steel and ore recently, combined with the seasonal off - season, restrains the rebound height of coal and coke [2][3]. - The expected reduction in coal production supports the coal price to run strongly, but the production reduction basically conforms to the previous years' rules, and the downstream has stocked up in advance, so there is no continuous upward driving force [3]. - The suspension of exports by Indonesia and the fact that the US and India regard coking coal as strategic minerals have led to a stage - strong coking coal futures price, but the actual impact on China's supply is very limited, mainly affecting the market sentiment. Currently, the supply - demand contradiction in the coal and coke market is general, and prices are mainly affected by market sentiment changes [3]. 3. Summary by Related Content - **Market Sentiment and Price Movement**: Yesterday, the market sentiment weakened, and the coal and coke futures prices oscillated and declined. The weak trend of steel and ore and the seasonal off - season limit the rebound of coal and coke prices [3]. - **Supply Side**: This week, domestic coal mines have gradually started to stop production for holidays. Mines in Yunnan, Jinzhong of Shanxi and other places have early holidays, with a significant decline in production. Around the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month next week, private coal mines will enter the peak holiday period, and production will drop sharply. This week, the daily production of raw coal and clean coal was 1.925 million tons and 755,000 tons respectively, a decrease of 53,000 tons and 16,000 tons respectively compared with the previous week [3]. - **Demand Side**: Steel mills' production is relatively stable, with the average daily hot metal output maintained at around 2.28 million tons [3].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The coal and coke market sentiment fluctuates, and the upside space of the futures price is limited. The news of Indonesia's coal RKAB production quota cut mainly affects market sentiment, with little impact on China's coking coal supply pattern. The current supply - demand contradiction in the coal and coke market is general, and prices are mainly affected by market sentiment changes [2]. Group 3: Summary According to Related Contents Market Sentiment and Price Fluctuation - The rebound of coal and coke futures prices is due to the news of Indonesia's coal RKAB production quota cut, which boosts market sentiment. However, Indonesia mainly produces thermal coal, and the impact on coking coal and anthracite is small. From 2022 to 2025, thermal coal accounted for over 98% of Indonesia's coal exports to China, so the reduction in Indonesia's exports has little impact on China's coking coal supply pattern [2]. Supply Side - This week, domestic coal mines are gradually shutting down for the holiday. Mines in Yunnan and Jinzhong, Shanxi have shut down earlier, with a significant decline in production. Next week, around the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, private coal mines will enter the peak shutdown period, and production will drop sharply. This week, the daily production of raw coal and clean coal was 192.5 million tons and 75.5 million tons respectively, down 5.3 million tons and 1.6 million tons from the previous week. Although the expected reduction in coal production supports coal prices, the production cut is in line with past years' patterns, and downstream has stocked up in advance, so there is no continuous upward - driving force [2]. Demand Side - Steel mill production is relatively stable, with the average daily pig iron output maintained at around 2.28 million tons [2]. Other Influencing Factors - Indonesia's suspension of exports and the fact that the US and India regard coking coal as strategic minerals have led to the strengthening of coking coal futures prices, but the actual impact on China's supply is very limited [2].
