The company strictly follows the compliance management system to carry out export license application work, obtaining export licenses issued by the Ministry of Commerce in an orderly and lawful manner, thereby ensuring the smooth, orderly, sustained, and healthy development of its overseas international business. At the same time, the company continues to advance its market diversification strategy, actively expands into different regional markets, reduces reliance on single markets, and enhances its overall risk resistance capability. Furthermore, the refinement and strict enforcement of relevant export control policies have significantly raised the industry's standardization level. This creates favorable conditions for enterprises that have established sound compliance systems and can continuously meet licensing and delivery requirements, helping to guide industry resources toward well-operated enterprises, supporting them to secure long-term cooperation with high-quality clients, and promoting the entire industry's development toward a more orderly and higher-quality direction.
7. Is there any plan to develop rare earth targets? Tianhe Magnetics responded: The company is a leading domestic provider of high-performance rare earth permanent magnetic materials, primarily engaged in the R&D, production, and sales of high-performance rare earth permanent magnetic materials such as sintered NdFeB and sintered SmCo. It also extends its industry chain to injection molded magnets, bonded magnets, and magnetic assemblies, offering clients comprehensive rare earth permanent magnet solutions. The company currently has no such R&D plan.
8. What is the company's view on future rare earth prices? Tianhe Magnetics responded: Rare earths are important strategic resources of the nation. Rare earth product prices are influenced by factors such as market conditions, policy changes, and industry supply-demand cycles. Fluctuations of rare earth prices within a reasonable range benefit the development of both upstream and downstream sectors of the rare earth industry chain.
Tianhe Magnetics disclosed its semi-annual performance forecast on July 9, which showed, based on preliminary estimates by the financial department, that the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company for the first half of 2026 is expected to range from RMB 73 million to RMB 93 million.

In its announcement regarding the risk of rare earth raw material price fluctuations, Tianhe Magnetics stated: The main raw materials required for the Company’s production are rare earth metals, which are relatively high-priced. Affected by multiple factors such as macroeconomic conditions, the trade environment, industrial policies, and market supply and demand, their prices fluctuate noticeably. Although rare earth permanent magnet enterprises can dynamically adjust product selling prices based on raw material price changes and other factors, due to the price lock-in of some existing orders and the negotiation period required for new order price adjustments, product price adjustments typically lag behind raw material price fluctuations. If raw material prices experience sustained wild swings in the future and the Company fails to respond in a timely and effective manner, it may adversely affect its operating results. Countermeasures: To address this risk, the Company continuously strengthens supply chain management, enters into long-term agreements with major suppliers to establish stable cooperative relationships, and implements scientific raw material reserve strategies to smooth out the impact of price fluctuations.
Looking back at the price performance of Pr-Nd alloy in H1 this year, we can see: at the beginning of the year, Pr-Nd alloy was quoted at 740,000 yuan/mt. Driven by a confluence of supply-demand fundamentals, including tight spot Pr-Nd oxide supply and stockpiling purchases by downstream magnetic material enterprises around the Chinese New Year, prices surged rapidly, hitting a yearly high of 1.09 million yuan/mt at the end of February, representing a cumulative increase of 47.3%. In March, end-use demand contracted materially, coupled with the spread of bearish market news, causing prices to quickly pull back to around 900,000 yuan/mt. In April, supported by higher ore concentrate prices that boosted oxide costs, production suspensions at some separation plants, and the release of export orders during the export control window period, prices recovered and rebounded to 999,000 yuan/mt. From May to June, downstream demand entered the traditional off-season, with magnetic material enterprises reducing inquiries and purchases for Pr-Nd alloy, causing prices to hit bottom again at 830,000 yuan/mt. In mid-to-late June, large-scale production cuts at scrap recycling enterprises due to tax invoice issues led to expectations of tightening supply, driving Pr-Nd prices to bottom out, closing at 905,000 yuan/mt on June 30. The average price in H1 was about 905,000 yuan/mt, with a fluctuation range of 48.3%.
On July 24, the average price of Pr-Nd alloy was 917,500 yuan/mt, edging up 0.27% from the previous trading day.
From the Pr-Nd market perspective, the rise in Pr-Nd oxide futures prices reduced suppliers' willingness to sell spot cargo at low prices, prompting them to raise their Pr-Nd oxide quotes. However, market inquiry activity did not pick up as a result, and actual price gains were relatively limited. Supported by raw material costs, Pr-Nd alloy prices also rose in tandem, and low-priced cargo in the market gradually tightened. Yet, downstream magnetic material enterprises still had limited inquiries, making high-priced alloy transactions difficult, and market trading remained stagnant. Over the short term, affected by the tug-of-war stalemate between upstream and downstream, Pr-Nd product prices are expected to move sideways.
