Triumph New Energy Company Limited released its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025, reporting a sharp contraction in revenue and a significantly wider loss amid sustained overcapacity and price pressure in the photovoltaic (PV) glass market.
Financial Performance • Operating revenue declined 29.40% year-on-year to RMB 3.24 billion, reflecting weaker sales volumes and lower PV glass prices. • Operating costs fell 24.03% to RMB 3.64 billion, but cost savings were outpaced by the drop in selling prices, compressing margins. • Net loss attributable to shareholders expanded to RMB 0.91 billion (FY 2024: RMB 0.61 billion loss). Basic loss per share widened to RMB 1.42. • Other income more than tripled to RMB 0.17 billion, supported mainly by higher government subsidies. • Finance expenses increased 9.70% to RMB 0.12 billion as interest-bearing debt grew. • R&D spending totalled RMB 0.17 billion, equivalent to 5.30% of revenue; 25.0% of this outlay was capitalised.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity • Total assets reached RMB 13.61 billion, up 10.64% from end-2024, driven by the transfer of completed projects into fixed assets. • Total liabilities rose 25.90% to RMB 9.98 billion; the gearing ratio climbed to 73.33% (end-2024: 64.45%). • Cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB 121.40 million, down RMB 9.16 million from a year earlier. • Net operating cash outflow increased to RMB 736.03 million, while net financing inflow rose 33.85% to RMB 1.16 billion, reflecting higher borrowings. Interest-bearing liabilities totalled RMB 6.40 billion, of which RMB 2.45 billion were short-term.
Operational Highlights • In-production PV glass melting capacity reached 6,100 t/day, with 1,200 t/day furnaces representing nearly 80% of output. • The company completed the 74.60% acquisition of Jiangsu Triumph New Material Co., enabling commissioning of a 1,200 t/day ultra-thin rolled PV glass line. • Qinhuangdao North Glass ignited a 1,200 t/day line in April 2025; Zigong New Energy advanced pre-construction approvals for a 2,000 t/day project. • Unit manufacturing cost of PV glass fell 16%, and double-coated high-transmittance products accounted for over 60% of sales. • Five provincial-level green factories are now in operation, with PV and waste-heat power generation up 30% and 12% year-on-year, respectively.
Outlook for 2026 Management targets continued execution of “three major battles” – cash-flow improvement, cost reduction and loss containment – while optimising capacity utilisation and strengthening procurement and sales synergies. The company plans to refine its product mix, accelerate construction of next-generation large-tonnage lines and maintain disciplined investment as China’s PV sector enters a “stock-based competition” phase.
Dividend No dividend was proposed for FY 2025.
