Summary of Huayang Co., Ltd. Conference Call Company Overview - Company: Huayang Co., Ltd. - Industry: Coal and New Materials Key Points Coal Price and Market Conditions - In Q2 2025, coal prices decreased by approximately 100 CNY/ton compared to Q1, but began to recover from June, showing an overall improvement by August. The guaranteed supply price is around 570 CNY/ton based on the 5,500 kcal standard, with market coal prices increasing by about 100 CNY/ton recently, indicating a significant improvement over Q2 [1][4]. Long-term Contract Performance - The long-term contract fulfillment rate dropped to around 50% due to declining coal prices in Q2 but has since recovered. The current fulfillment rate is between 50%-60%, still below the 80%-90% levels seen at the end of the previous year [1][5]. Geological Issues and Production Impact - Geological issues at the Pingshu Mine previously caused a reduction in calorific value to 3,400-3,500 kcal, leading to prices dropping below 300 CNY/ton. This significantly affected the company's average selling price. However, these issues have been resolved, and calorific value has returned to over 4,100 kcal, which is expected to positively impact Q3 performance [1][6]. Cost Control Measures - The company is controlling costs by reducing material consumption, non-production expenses, and special funds. The cost per ton in H1 2025 was 286 CNY, a decrease of 6 CNY/ton year-on-year, with an expected annual comprehensive cost of around 290 CNY/ton, which may continue to decline [1][7][8]. Capacity Expansion Plans - The company has completed the necessary procedures for capacity expansion at the Yushup and Pingshu mines. The Pingshu mine incurred a loss of approximately 60 million CNY in H1 due to geological issues but is expected to return to normal operations in H2. The company plans to increase production by 5 million tons through new stripping mines, aiming for a total output of 45-50 million tons [1][9]. New Materials Development - The company is advancing its carbon fiber project, with a total investment of about 1 billion CNY. The project is currently in trial production and aims to produce T1,000 to T1,100 grade products, which are primarily used in aerospace and military applications. The first phase has a capacity of 200 tons/year, with a total design scale of 1,000 tons, indicating significant profit potential [1][10][11]. Emergency Power Orders - Huayang Co., Ltd. has secured emergency power orders from the Jiao Coal Group, valued between 30-40 million CNY, with a gross margin of approximately 30%-40%. The T1,000 and T1,100 high-performance carbon fiber products are expected to have a gross margin exceeding 40% [1][12][13]. Challenges and Future Outlook - The company’s Jingfu Mine continues to face losses due to complex geological conditions and gas emissions affecting construction progress. However, the company has been operating within its approved production capacity, mitigating risks associated with overproduction regulations [1][14][15]. Strategic Planning - The company is in the process of developing its "15th Five-Year Plan," which may include plans to inject quality assets into the listed company to enhance asset securitization rates [1][3][16]. Technological Advancements - Progress has been made in the intelligent construction of coal mines, with plans to introduce more robots to reduce labor intensity and improve safety [1][19]. Market Predictions - The company anticipates a continued recovery in coal prices from Q3 to Q4 2025, with plans to adjust production levels accordingly to maximize capacity and profits [1][20]. New Mining Projects - The Yujiazhuang block has obtained exploration rights, with minimal investment expected in the next two years for exploration and preliminary procedures. Full-scale construction is projected to begin in 2027, with total investment estimated between 10-13 million CNY [1][21].
