Shanxi Coking Coal: Expected To Be Profitable For The Entire Year Of 2025

 Shanxi Coking Coal (000983) released its full-year earnings forecast, stating that the company expects a significant decline in performance from January to December 2025. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company is expected to be between 971 million and 1.358 billion yuan, a decrease of 68.75% to 56.30% compared to the previous year. The estimated basic earnings per share is between 0.1711 and 0.2393 yuan.

 The company made the above prediction based on the following reasons: The main reason for the decline in the company's 2025 annual performance is that the domestic coal (850105) market supply and demand have shown a loose trend, leading to weak coal (850105) prices, and the company's coal (850105) product sales prices have dropped significantly compared to the previous year. At the same time, in the fourth quarter, due to factors such as the coordination of mining operations and stricter safety regulations, coal (850105) sales decreased compared to the second and third quarters, leading to a significant decline in the company's coal (850105) sector profits year-on-year. Secondly, the company acquired the coal (850105) and associated bauxite mineral exploration rights in the Xing County area through an auction on October 23, 2024, and paid the resource price on December 20, 2024. The interest costs incurred from the loan for this project were fully included in the current period's financial expenses, which significantly impacted the company's performance.

 In response to the current complex environmental changes, the company actively responds by implementing a "strong operations" development strategy, deepening "zero-based budgeting" and "large cost" control, improving internal capabilities, maximizing efficiency, and continuously enhancing the company's management level and governance effectiveness. At the same time, the company will accelerate the construction of the Xingxian Zero-Carbon Smart Demonstration Zone mining area, creating a new energy base (850101).
