GCL TECH, a leading producer of granular silicon, has released its full-year financial results for 2025. During the reporting period, the company experienced a fundamental turnaround in operational quality: it reported revenue of 14.43 billion yuan, and a net loss attributable to shareholders of 2.87 billion yuan, representing a significant narrowing of losses. Particularly noteworthy is that the company successfully returned to a gross profit of 1.34 billion yuan, with a corresponding gross margin of 9.3%. The core profitability metric, EBITDA, also turned positive, exceeding 2.8 billion yuan, while the safety margin of cash flow was substantially enhanced. The financial structure continued to improve, with the company's asset-liability ratio (excluding endorsed and discounted notes) decreasing by 2.8 percentage points sequentially to just 37%.
A representative from GCL TECH stated, "During the reporting period, the substantial turnaround in gross profit and cash flow was primarily due to precise strategic adjustments and timely loss containment in the photovoltaic materials business, which saw a sequential reduction in losses of 61%. Driven by continuously declining granular silicon costs and steadily improving quality, product prices rose rapidly alongside the industry's recovery, and operating cash flow remained stable. However, the period's performance was still affected by policy-related factors, mainly due to delayed disbursement of national subsidies, leading to a large scale of receivables and asset impairment provisions in the power station business, which had a temporary impact on overall profits."
Furthermore, GCL TECH has ventured into cutting-edge fields such as perovskite and silicon-carbon anodes. Its perovskite technology, leveraging the Zhuque-2 Yao-3 carrier rocket, completed the world's first in-orbit space test. The company has initiated a "Three-Step Space Strategy": to deepen deep-space endurance testing in 2026, achieve mass production of space-specific modules from 2027 to 2028, and strive to become the "standard power source" for Chinese spacecraft.
In its announcement, GCL TECH stated that in 2026 it will focus on its core strategy of "overseas expansion + continuous exploration of a second growth curve," accelerating the globalization of its production capacity and market presence, with emphasis on key markets such as the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, to build a global supply chain and service system.
Industry analysts believe that GCL TECH has evolved from a single silicon material leader into a composite zero-carbon materials technology platform encompassing "granular silicon (cash cow) + perovskite (future star) + energy storage materials (new engine)."
