China Shenhua Energy Company Limited estimates that profit attributable to equity holders for 1 January–30 June 2026 will reach RMB 28.40–31.90 billion. On a statutory basis, this implies year-on-year growth of 6.3%–19.4% versus RMB 26.71 billion in the first half of 2025. Against the restated comparative figure of RMB 30.48 billion—which reflects the consolidation of 11 newly acquired subsidiaries—the forecast ranges from a 6.8% decline to a 4.7% increase.

Management attributes the anticipated performance uplift primarily to:

• Higher profit contributions from coal-chemical operations, supported by increased production and sales volumes. • Expanded throughput in self-owned railway, port and shipping businesses, boosting transportation earnings.

These positives are partly offset by a rise in taxes, surcharges and other expenses.

The profit estimate is based on unaudited IFRS figures. Final results may differ when the reviewed interim report is released. Changes to prior-period comparatives stem from the first-half 2026 consolidation of 11 entities acquired from parent company China Energy Investment Corporation Limited and its subsidiary China Energy Western Energy Investment Co., Ltd., classified as a business combination under common control.
