Shanghai-based asset manager REALWAY CAPITAL released its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025, showing higher top-line growth but a sharply wider loss.
Revenue and Mix • Consolidated revenue reached RMB 30.36 million, up 15.4% from RMB 26.31 million in 2024. • Advisory-related fees surged, with investment advisory income up 7.3% to RMB 14.04 million, personal-loan distressed-asset disposal contributing RMB 5.44 million (nil in 2024), and legal consultancy generating RMB 3.01 million (RMB 0.04 million in 2024). • Fund management fees almost halved to RMB 5.90 million, reflecting existing funds moving into liquidation and an absence of new project launches. • Rental income from Chengdu retail properties rose 22.4% to RMB 1.98 million.
Profitability • Net loss expanded 110.1% to RMB 27.74 million (2024: RMB 13.20 million), translating to a basic loss per share of RMB 17.62 cents. • Key drag factors: RMB 2.96 million impairment on trade receivables and RMB 16.10 million in other expenses, the latter dominated by a RMB 13.85 million loss on disposal of a joint-venture investment. • Fair-value movements were mixed—investments in associates/joint ventures at FVTPL added RMB 5.24 million, while other financial assets recorded a RMB 8.23 million downturn; investment properties were marked down by RMB 2.91 million.
Assets, Liquidity and Gearing • Total assets stood at RMB 266.77 million; net assets fell to RMB 233.41 million (2024: RMB 260.95 million). • Cash and restricted cash declined to RMB 9.01 million (2024: RMB 11.23 million). • Interest-bearing borrowings remained stable at RMB 19.44 million, all from related parties at a 3.0% fixed rate, pushing the gearing ratio to 8.3% (2024: 7.3%). • Trade receivables net balance was RMB 76.21 million, with lifetime ECL provisioning rising to RMB 17.15 million.
Assets Under Management and Investments • Aggregate AUM slipped 2.1% to RMB 2.01 billion across 14 projects (commercial real estate 63.8%, urbanisation/redevelopment 28.5%, distressed assets 7.7%). • Investments in associates or joint ventures at FVTPL fell to RMB 61.69 million after the exit from Ningbo Ruichong Partnership. • Financial assets at FVTPL totalled RMB 65.27 million, including RMB 10.68 million of listed equities and RMB 54.60 million of debt investments; a RMB 13.14 million fair-value decline in a Yangzhou Guazhou debt position was the main detractor.
Operational Highlights • Advisory, legal consultancy and personal-loan distressed-asset disposal services were key growth drivers, collectively adding RMB 22.48 million in revenue. • Cost of sales, primarily outsourcing and channel fees for new businesses, amounted to RMB 4.16 million. • The company continues to diversify away from traditional real-estate-centric fund management toward asset-light advisory, legal and distressed-debt services.
Dividend • The Board proposed no final dividend for 2025.
Outlook (as stated by the company) includes continued focus on real estate, distressed assets fund management, expansion of advisory and distressed-debt disposal services, and bolstered compliance and risk controls.
