Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2019

  • Net revenue increased by 3.7% to RMB 3.3 billion (US$ 467.7 million) compared with RMB 3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2018;
  • Gross profit was RMB 524.1 million (US$ 74.1 million), with a gross margin of 15.8%, compared with RMB 607.7 million and a gross margin of 19.1% in the third quarter of 2018;
  • Operating profit was RMB 175.8 million (US$ 24.9 million) compared with RMB 251.2 million in the third quarter of 2018;
  • Net earnings attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 50.3 million (US$ 7.1 million) compared with RMB 128.5 million in the third quarter of 2018;
  • Earnings per share were RMB 1.23 (US$ 0.17) compared with RMB 3.15 in the third quarter of 2018;
  • Total number of engines sold was 70,140 units compared with 71,062 units in the third quarter of 2018.

The net revenue for the third quarter of 2019 increased by 3.7% to RMB 3.3 billion (US$ 467.7 million) from RMB 3.2 billion for the same quarter last year. 

The total number of engines sold by GYMCL during the third quarter of 2019 was 70,140 units, compared with 71,062 units for the same quarter last year, a decrease of 1.3%.  Higher bus, industrial and other engine sales partially offset lower truck and agricultural engine sales compared with the same quarter last year.  Total off-road engine sales increased in the third quarter of 2019.

According to data reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAM"), in the third quarter of 2019, sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline–powered and electric-powered vehicles) decreased by 2.6% overall compared with the same quarter in 2018. This included a 4.1% decrease in the truck segment and an 8.4% increase in the bus segment.  During this period, the sales of heavy-duty trucks increased by 3.7% while the medium-duty truck sales declined by 14.2%.  

Gross profit decreased by 13.8% to RMB 524.1 million (US$ 74.1 million) from RMB 607.7 million in the same quarter last year.  Gross margin was 15.8% compared with 19.1% in the same quarter last year.  The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributed to higher production costs on the National VI engines and pricing pressure.

Other operating income was RMB 91.3 million (US$ 12.9 million) compared with RMB 44.1 million in the same quarter last year.  The increase was mainly due to higher government grants and higher interest income compared with the same quarter last year.

Research and Development ("R&D") expenses increased by 28.7% to RMB 81.8 million (US$ 11.6 million) from RMB 63.6 million in the same quarter last year.  The higher R&D expenses were mainly due to higher consultancy fees and experimental costs. R&D expenses were focused on new emission engines and improving existing engine products.  GYMCL continues to further develop new engines in its expanded portfolio of next-generation National VI and Tier 4 emission-compliant engines as well as improve overall engine quality and performance.  In the third quarter of 2019, the total R&D expenditure including capitalized costs was RMB 165.0 million (US$ 23.3 million) and it represented 5.0% of net revenue compared with RMB 144.3 million, representing 4.5% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2018.

Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 6.2% to RMB 357.7 million (US$ 50.6 million) from RMB 337.0 million in the same quarter last year.  The increase was mainly due to higher depreciation and higher repair and maintenance expenses.  SG&A expenses represented 10.8% of revenue compared with 10.6% in the same quarter last year.

Operating profit decreased by 30.0% to RMB 175.8 million (US$ 24.9 million) from RMB 251.2 million in the same quarter last year.  The operating margin was 5.3% compared with 7.9% in the same quarter last year.

Finance costs increased by 57.4% to RMB 47.0 million (US$ 6.7 million) compared with RMB 29.9 million in the same quarter last year.  Higher finance costs were mainly due to the higher amount of trade bills discounted.

Net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 50.3 million (US$ 7.1 million), compared with RMB 128.5 million in the same quarter in 2018. 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB 1.23 (US$ 0.17), compared with earnings per share of RMB 3.15 in the third quarter of 2018. 

Basic and diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 were based on a weighted average of 40,858,290 shares.

Financial Highlights for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2019

  • Net revenue increased by 5.1% to RMB 12.3 billion (US$ 1.7 billion) compared with RMB 11.7 billion a year ago;
  • Gross profit was RMB 2.0 billion (US$ 282.5 million), or a gross margin of 16.2%, compared with RMB 2.2 billion, or a gross margin of 19.0%, a year ago;
  • Operating profit was RMB 825.3 million (US$ 116.7 million) compared with RMB 949.9 million a year ago;

  • Total number of engines sold was 281,499 units compared with 281,850 units a year ago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net revenue increased by 5.1% to RMB 12.3 billion (US$ 1.7 billion) from RMB 11.7 billion in the same period last year. 

The total number of engines sold by GYMCL in the first nine months of 2019 was 281,499 units compared with 281,850 units in the same period last year.

According to data reported by CAAM, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline–powered and electric-powered vehicles) decreased by 6.8%, with lower sales in the truck and bus segments compared with the same period in 2018.   

Gross profit decreased by 10.4% to RMB 2.0 billion (US$ 282.5 million) compared with RMB 2.2 billion in the same period last year.  Gross margin was 16.2% compared with 19.0% in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to higher costs incurred in the production of National VI engines and pricing pressure.

Other operating income increased by 82.4% to RMB 234.1 million (US$ 33.1 million) compared with RMB 128.3 million in the same period last year.  This increase was mainly due to higher government grants and higher interest income.

R&D expenses were RMB 264.3 million (US$ 37.4 million) compared with RMB 340.0 million in the same period last year.  Lower R&D expenses were mainly due to the higher capitalization of development costs for National VI and Tier 4 that met the IFRS capitalization criteria.  The ongoing R&D program is focused on new and existing engine products as well as continued initiatives to improve engine quality.  In the first nine months of 2019, the total R&D expenditure including capitalized costs was RMB 461.3 million (US$ 65.2 million) compared with RMB 420.7 million in the same period last year.  As a percentage of revenue, R&D spending was 3.7% in the first nine months of 2019 compared with 3.6% in the same period last year.

SG&A expenses were RMB 1.1 billion (US$ 161.6 million) similar to RMB 1.1 billion in the same period last year.  SG&A expenses represented 9.3% of revenue for the first nine months of 2019 compared with 9.1% in the same period last year.

Operating profit was RMB 825.3 million (US$ 116.7 million) from RMB 949.9 million in the same period last year.  The operating margin was 6.7% in the first nine months of 2019 compared with 8.1% in the same period last year.

Finance costs were RMB 104.7 million (US$ 14.8 million) compared with RMB 82.0 million in the same period last year.  Higher finance costs were mainly due to the higher amount of trade bills discounted.

Net profit attributable to China Yuchai's shareholders was RMB 395.3 million (US$ 55.9 million), compared with RMB 503.5 million in the same period last year.   

Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB 9.68 (US$ 1.37) compared with RMB 12.32 in the same period last year.

Basic and diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of 2019 were based on a weighted average of 40,858,290 shares, compared with a weighted average of 40,858,290 shares for basic earnings per share and a weighted average of 40,872,254 shares for diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2018.
