According to the semi-annual report released by Hailiang shares, during the reporting period, the company realized sales of copper and copper alloys and other non-ferrous metal processing products of 475400 tons, an increase of 19.03% over the same period last year, and realized operating income of 23.43 billion yuan from its main business, an increase of 52.22% over the same period last year. The total profit realized was 775 million yuan, up 71.78% over the same period last year; and the net profit belonging to shareholders of listed companies was 622 million yuan, an increase of 71.10% over the same period last year.
The company is mainly engaged in the R & D, manufacturing and sales of copper tubes, copper bars, copper pipe fittings, copper-aluminum composite conductors, aluminum profiles and other products. The company's products are widely used in air conditioning and refrigerator refrigeration, building water pipes, desalination, warship manufacturing, nuclear power facilities, equipment manufacturing, automotive industry, electronic communications, transportation, hardware machinery, power and other industries.
At present, the company is one of the largest and most competitive copper processing enterprises in the world, the largest copper pipe manufacturer in the world, one of the largest exporters of copper pipe and copper pipe fittings in China, and a fine management benchmarking enterprise for the copper processing industry. The company has obvious advantages in copper tube scale and layout, and with the comprehensive application of the fifth generation continuous casting and rolling precision copper tube low-carbon intelligent and efficient production line, the company's precision copper tube production capacity has increased from 798000 tons to 1.31 million tons, with a widening gap with its counterparts. At the same time, due to the size of each copper pipe production base, which has a great impact on operation, management and production costs, the company has stipulated that the production capacity of each domestic production base must be more than 100000 tons in the future, which will make the company's product cost advantage more prominent.
During the reporting period, the company has planned to phase out and upgrade the built, under construction and newly built copper tube production lines (including fund-raising projects) in batches before the end of 2024 according to the fifth generation of continuous casting and rolling precision copper tube low-carbon intelligent and efficient production line standards (a total of 13 projects), the new investment is about 764 million yuan. According to the company's feasibility study, after the full application of the results, the company's precision copper tube production capacity increased from 798000 tons to 1.31 million tons, operating performance increased by more than 1.4 billion yuan on the existing basis, production efficiency further improved, and comprehensive costs decreased significantly. Core competitiveness continues to enhance, and the industry's leading position has been significantly enhanced.
During the reporting period, on the basis of stabilizing the existing traditional advantage application fields, the company actively developed new products and expanded the application fields to meet the market demand. The main products have entered the industrial chain of new energy vehicles, 5G communications, semiconductors, military industry, wind power and other emerging industries, enhancing profitability and development potential. The company's special-shaped copper bars, microchannel aluminum flat tubes, aluminum alloy harmonica tubes and other products are used in the field of new energy vehicles; T2 coils are used in the field of 5G communications; high-precision copper straight tubes, high-precision copper alloy rods, oxygen-free copper bars, heat pipes and other products are used in semiconductors, chips, consumer electronics; B10/B30 white copper tubes are used in the field of military ships; T2 copper bars are used in the field of wind power. During the reporting period, the company sold nearly 40,000 tons of products used in new energy vehicles, high-end equipment manufacturing, desalination, industrial systems, copper pipes and other fields, an increase of 64.08%, 17.70%, 39.60%, 28.47% and 16.05% respectively over the same period last year.
