Recently, Tianli Lithium Energy issued an announcement regarding uncovered losses reaching one-third of the total paid-in share capital. As of December 31, 2025, Tianli Lithium Energy's undistributed profit was -830 million yuan, with paid-in share capital of 119 million yuan, and the amount of uncovered losses exceeded one-third of the total paid-in share capital. Tianli Lithium Energy stated that the main reasons for the loss in 2025 were due to fluctuations in lithium carbonate prices and the volatile adjustment in the lithium iron phosphate industry, which led to insufficient operating rates for some of the company's production facilities, low capacity utilization, and high allocation of fixed costs per unit of product.
