Company Profile
Performance During the Reporting Period: Amid a highly challenging market environment, the company resolutely executed its established strategy, focusing on core capability building, and achieved significant growth in operational performance. During the reporting period, both production volume and sales volume increased. Sales of fresh chicken meat reached 660,900 tons, while sales of deep-processed meat products reached 174,500 tons, representing increases of 2.50% and 13.21% respectively compared to the first half of 2024. The company achieved operating revenue of RMB 8.856 billion, a year-on-year increase of 0.22%. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company surged to RMB 910 million, marking a substantial year-on-year increase of 791.93%. The company firmly advanced its omni-channel strategy during the reporting period. Leveraging exceptional product quality and superior service, it expanded market share despite adverse conditions. Specifically, the C-end (Consumer) retail channel grew by over 30% year-on-year. Export and foodservice channels across all segments also achieved robust growth. The steady increase in the proportion of high-value channels has continuously optimized the company's revenue structure, providing stronger support for overall profit growth. The company further solidified its cost advantages during the reporting period. The comprehensive meat production cost for the first half of 2025 decreased by over 10% compared to the same period last year. This cost reduction was primarily driven by the enhanced performance of the company's proprietary breeding stock "901+" and its increasing internal utilization rate. Concurrently, the company's ongoing implementation of refined management practices led to continuous improvements in production efficiency across all operational stages. During the reporting period, the company completed the controlling merger of Sun Valley. Through pre-merger industrial empowerment and the introduction of lean management practices, Sun Valley's operational efficiency improved significantly and has already delivered substantial profits to the listed company. Following this merger, the company will fully leverage the synergistic advantages of its independently controlled breeding stock and fully integrated supply chain layout. It will accelerate the deep integration of Sun Valley and provide technological and managerial empowerment to further unlock its profit potential. This integration injects new momentum into the listed company's future sustained performance growth.
Full description
Company Profile: The company operates in the broiler chicken production and deep-processed meat food industry. It is currently China's only enterprise with self-developed white-feathered broiler breeder stock capable of mass external sales. It is China's largest integrated producer spanning grandparent stock, parent stock, and commercial broiler farming. It is also China's largest deep-processed chicken food manufacturer. Production bases are primarily located in Fujian, Jiangxi, and Gansu provinces, with an innovation marketing center and product R&D center established in Zhejiang and Shanghai. Current annual white-feathered broiler farming capacity exceeds 700 million birds, and built/under-construction deep-processed food capacity totals over 500,000 tons. Products have a wide domestic reach and are exported overseas. The company ranks first in Asia and sixth globally among fully integrated white-feathered broiler enterprises. Competitive Advantages: Fully Integrated Supply Chain Advantage: The company has built a fully integrated broiler supply chain encompassing feed processing, breeding stock cultivation, grandparent and parent stock farming, hatching, broiler farming, slaughtering and processing, and food deep-processing. This fully integrated, self-contained model offers four key advantages: Smooths Industry Cycles & Reduces Profit Volatility； Ensures "Premium, Controllable, Reliable, Traceable" Products, Delivering Quality Premiums； Guarantees Production Stability: The interconnected stages within the integrated system enable balanced, planned, and stable production, ensuring supply chain and operational reliability. Enables Effective Epidemic Prevention via Closed-Loop Management； Self-Developed Breeding Stock Advantage: After over a decade of dedicated R&D, the company successfully developed the "Shenze 901" white-feathered broiler line. It received approval from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) in late 2021 to sell parent stock chicks externally, commencing sales in June 2022. The company is China's first to break the foreign monopoly on breeding stock and achieve mass supply of domestically bred parent stock chicks. In 2023, breeding breakthroughs continued. Using a model combining genome sequencing and phenotypic data for precision breeding and genetic improvement, the company optimized the "Shenze 901" line's overall performance, successfully launching "Shenze 901 Plus". This enhanced version maintains stable parent stock and commercial broiler performance and disease purification levels in foundation stock, while reducing the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and improving overall farming efficiency. This breakthrough in breeding stock provides three key advantages: Secures Stable Upstream Supply:； Strong Local Adaptability； Superior Performance & Cost Advantage； Supply Chain Advantage: Leveraging its fully integrated chain and extensive experience serving foodservice clients, the company has built robust supply chain "moats". These include stable and flexible supply capabilities, industry-leading product R&D, verifiable and traceable food safety systems, market trend analysis capabilities, and ESG/sustainability practices. This foundation underpins the company's strong position and market leadership within the foodservice industry. Large-Scale Production Capacity Advantage: With annual white-feathered broiler farming capacity exceeding 700 million birds and built/under-construction deep-processed food capacity totaling over 500,000 tons, the company ranks first nationally. Leading capacity scale delivers dual benefits: Economies of Scale: Enhances procurement bargaining power, spreads fixed costs, improves production efficiency and capacity utilization through standardized farming, and lowers unit production costs, boosting economic returns. Supply Chain Assurance: Ensures the ability to fulfill large-volume orders for major clients. Leveraging production synergy, it can efficiently absorb sudden, large additional orders during peak seasons, guaranteeing downstream clients' supply chain stability. This provides an absolute advantage in attracting and servicing premium large clients. Major Client Advantage: With over 40 years in the broiler industry and 20+ years in deep-processed foods, the company has established long-term strategic partnerships with renowned domestic and international clients including Yum China (KFC, Pizza Hut), McDonald's, Tastien, Dicos, Walmart, and Yonghui. The company is committed to deepening strategic collaboration with these major clients. It works comprehensively with them on product R&D, quality control, market expansion, and information sharing. By integrating into global advanced food supply chains and adapting to diverse corporate cultures, it has pioneered a win-win model evolving from product supply to co-created value. This solidifies its leadership in food processing and lays a strong foundation for partnerships with global top-tier food and restaurant companies. Capital Cost Advantage: The company consistently prioritizes financial health and capital security, balancing ample liquidity with optimized funding costs. It maintains strong cash reserves and robust operating cash flow. Operating cash flow net increased by CNY 392 million year-on-year in the reporting period, up 37.91%, leading industry peers. Furthermore, backed by 40 years of excellent credit standing, the company has access to significant unused credit facilities, enjoying lower capital costs than industry averages. This combination of ample liquidity, low financing costs, and a long history of prudent management enables the company to effectively withstand systemic economic risks and manage operational/financial pressures from industry cycles. It provides powerful support for consolidating industry resources and pursuing strategic opportunities in complex and volatile economic environments.
