China Risun Group Limited reported audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025, showing a strong rebound in bottom-line performance despite revenue pressure.

Financial highlights • Revenue fell 17.4% YoY to RMB39.29 billion, reflecting lower product prices across coke and chemicals. • Gross profit slipped 12.2% to RMB3.06 billion, yet the gross margin improved to 7.8% (2024: 7.3%) on tighter cost control and depreciation savings from extended asset lives. • Profit from operations rose 7.7% to RMB1.52 billion; net finance costs edged down 1.4% to RMB1.39 billion. • Profit before tax advanced 67.5% to RMB183.24 million; net profit attributable to shareholders surged 187.9% to RMB58.01 million, lifting basic EPS to RMB0.013 (2024: RMB0.005). • EBITDA margin widened to 9.2% (2024: 8.1%).
Segment performance • Coke & coking chemicals revenue dropped 23.4% to RMB13.52 billion, but segment gross margin expanded to 12.4% (2024: 8.6%) on lower coal costs. • Refined chemicals revenue declined 14.1% to RMB17.80 billion; gross margin contracted to 4.5% amid narrower spreads in caprolactam and styrene. • Trading revenue grew 25.6% to RMB5.96 billion, supported by a 1.55 million-ton increase in volumes. • Operation-management revenue fell 57.3% to RMB1.80 billion following the expiry of three service contracts. • Other income (mainly rental and property sales) rose 4.5% to RMB214.82 million, with gross margin sharply higher at 50.4%.

Capital expenditure and strategy • Additions to non-current assets reached RMB2.53 billion, focused on new coke capacity in Pingxiang, hydrogen projects and high-value chemicals such as amino alcohols. • A change in asset useful-life estimates reduced 2025 depreciation by roughly RMB195 million, benefiting operating profit. • Management highlighted ongoing expansion, R&D for higher-margin chemicals, and development of liquid-hydrogen capabilities to underpin its seventh Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).
