Zhengzhou Coal Industry & Electric Power Co., Ltd expected its net profit attributable to the parent company to plunge 60-51% or 41.02-35.02 million yuan on the year to 27-33 million yuan ($3.75-4.59 million) in 2023, according to an announcement.
Its adjusted net profit attributable to the parent company was projected to reach 12-18 million yuan, slumping 83-74% or 56.87-50.87 million yuan from a year earlier.
In 2023, the company produced 6.61 million tonnes of coal, up 10.30% year on year; coal sales totaled 6.63 million tonnes, a 6.84% rise. Revenue for its coal business totaled 3.81 billion yuan, down 5.07% on the year.
The largest coal company in Zhengzhou of Henan ascribed the weak performance mainly to lower average prices of thermal coal, down about 11% year on year, due to the impact of supply and demand dynamics.
Besides, affected by mine water control and treatment and mine accidents, Lugou Coal Mine and Xinzheng Coal and Electricity Co., Ltd. under the company stopped production, leading to a reduction in the total profit by about 230 million yuan compared with normal operation.
