Summary of the Conference Call Company Overview - The conference call involved Yamaton, a leading company in the photovoltaic glass industry, particularly known for its ultra-thin glass products, specifically 1.6 mm glass [1][2]. Key Points Discussed Financial Performance - For the year 2025, Yamaton is expected to report a loss in the range of 100 million to 120 million RMB, which is an improvement compared to 2024 [2]. - The traditional main business accounts for 90% of the company's revenue, which has been affected by low photovoltaic glass prices compared to 2020 [2]. - The company has strategically reduced sales volume and revenue to focus on cash flow, avoiding unprofitable customers and those with accounts receivable risks [2][3]. Business Segments 1. Traditional Photovoltaic Glass: - The gross profit margin has declined due to low prices, but the product remains profitable [3]. 2. Collaboration with Tesla: - Revenue from Tesla's roof tiles and energy storage glass increased to approximately 200 million RMB last year, contributing positively to Yamaton's performance [3]. - The partnership with Tesla has been ongoing since 2016, focusing on solar roof tiles and energy storage glass, with significant sales growth noted in 2019 [7][8]. - However, the pandemic impacted the installation of solar roofs, leading to unmet sales expectations [9]. 3. Electronic Glass: - Revenue from electronic glass has increased due to government subsidies and the growth of the electronic consumer products sector [3]. - One product has achieved profitability, while another is still in the process of reducing losses [3]. Strategic Adjustments - Yamaton has closed its photovoltaic glass production line in Changzhou due to low efficiency and high operational costs, opting to buy raw materials from other regions [5]. - The company is developing a new production line for perovskite glass, collaborating with companies like GCL and Jidian [6]. International Expansion - Yamaton is establishing a production base in the Middle East, with plans for a 1 million square meter capacity, aiming for completion by mid-2027 [11][12]. - The decision to set up in the Middle East is driven by lower energy costs and favorable tariffs [11]. Pricing and Market Conditions - Current overseas prices for photovoltaic glass are around $2.30 to $2.60 per square meter, significantly higher than domestic prices, which are around 10 RMB [13][15]. - The company anticipates that the market will continue to face challenges due to excess supply and insufficient demand, leading to potential natural market corrections [50][52]. Future Outlook - Yamaton expects to see an increase in sales in 2026, driven by traditional photovoltaic glass and additional contributions from energy storage glass [46]. - The company is also optimistic about the potential for its perovskite glass products, although large-scale production may take time [28][55]. Industry Dynamics - The photovoltaic glass industry is experiencing significant competition, with many companies facing financial difficulties due to overcapacity and low prices [50][52]. - Yamaton is focused on maintaining a competitive edge through cost management and strategic partnerships, particularly in the international market [24][52]. Additional Insights - The company is exploring advanced glass technologies for aerospace applications, indicating a potential diversification of its product offerings [41][42]. - Yamaton is committed to innovation and has a strong technical foundation in glass processing, which may position it well for future opportunities in emerging markets [41][42].
