Zhongliang Holdings Group Company Limited (Zhongliang HLDG) released its results for the year ended 31 December 2025, showing a sharp deterioration in operating and financial metrics amid a prolonged downturn in China’s property market.

Auditor’s Disclaimer External auditor ZHONGHUI ANDA issued a disclaimer of opinion, citing insufficient evidence to confirm the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Key uncertainties include RMB 8.11 billion of near-term debt maturities (of which RMB 4.80 billion are already in default), limited cash resources, and reliance on debt extensions, asset sales and improved sales cash flow.
Management Response and Outlook Management highlighted ongoing negotiations with lenders for loan extensions, efforts to accelerate project sales, tighter cost controls and potential asset disposals. The board emphasised policy support for China’s property sector but cautioned that recovery will require time. No final dividend was proposed for 2025.
Liquidity Commitments and Guarantees • Outstanding mortgage guarantees: RMB 4.07 billion (2024: RMB 17.52 billion). • Guarantees for joint-venture and associate borrowings: RMB 4.39 billion. • Contracted but unprovided capital commitments: RMB 10.21 billion.
