According to China Cement Network, with regard to the outlook for 2023, Conch Cement (hereinafter referred to as the "Group") said in its annual report for 2022 that in terms of investment and development, it focused on the company's "14th Five-Year Plan" strategic plan. The Group will comprehensively coordinate the development of its main business and the extension of its upstream and downstream industrial chains, and make every effort to expand its production and improve its efficiency. We will seize opportunities to promote domestic development, adhere to the orientation of effective investment, accelerate the merger and acquisition of potential market projects, further enhance the market competitiveness of the company, accelerate the layout of aggregate industry, precisely develop the commercial mixing industry, accelerate the development of new energy industry, and further expand and strengthen the environmental protection industry. Promote overseas development and operation management as a whole, adhere to the same direction of new mergers and acquisitions, adopt diversified development models, steadily promote the landing of incremental projects, and improve the operation quality of stock projects. In
2023, the Group plans to spend RMB19.318 billion on capital expenditure, mainly from its own funds, which will be mainly used for project construction, energy conservation and environmental protection technological transformation, merger and acquisition project expenditure, etc. It is estimated that 1.8 million tons of clinker production capacity, 10.2 million tons of cement production capacity, 40.2 million tons of aggregate production capacity and 7.8 million cubic meters of commercial concrete production capacity will be added in the whole year. In terms of
operation and management, the Group will pay close attention to the macroeconomic situation at home and abroad, and strengthen risk control and operation management. Strengthen the research and judgment of market supply and demand situation, explore innovative sales mode, optimize trade business structure and consolidate market position. Strengthen the research and judgment of coal market trend, coordinate domestic and international markets, give full play to the advantages of large-scale procurement, build a "direct supply, multi-complementary, stable and efficient" material supply system, accelerate the use of alternative fuels, and enhance the comprehensive supply capacity. With the goal of green, low-carbon and sustainable development, we will continue to increase investment in research and development of pollution reduction, carbon reduction, energy saving and consumption reduction, promote the technological transformation of comprehensive energy efficiency improvement of production lines, follow up the development of carbon emission reduction technology in the industry, and actively explore the path of carbon emission control with economic efficiency and technological stability. Summarize the experience of intelligent factory construction in an all-round way, and promote the popularization and application of digital intelligent achievements. We will coordinate organizational optimization and mechanism innovation, create a streamlined and efficient corporate governance system, further promote the strategy of strengthening enterprises by talents, continuously optimize and improve the incentive mechanism, and innovate the talent training mode, so as to promote the high-quality development of the company. In
2023, the Group plans to achieve an annual net sales volume of cement and clinker (excluding trade volume) of 307 million tons, and it is expected that the cost per ton of products and the cost per ton of products will remain relatively stable. In
2023, the Group may face the following three main risk factors:
1. The cement industry in which the Company operates is highly dependent on the construction industry and is highly related to the growth of fixed asset investment and real estate investment, and the growth of fixed asset investment and real estate investment is slowing down. It may adversely affect the market demand for cement.
In view of the above risks, the Group will pay close attention to the changes in the national macroeconomic situation, strengthen the research and analysis of the relationship between supply and demand in the market, give full play to the marketing advantages of the whole cement industry chain, strengthen the construction of the terminal market, grasp the initiative of market competition and consolidate the leading position in the market.
2. With the continuous promotion of carbon peak and carbon neutralization in China, the cement industry will continue to increase investment in research and development of carbon reduction technology, which is expected to increase the production and operation costs of enterprises while promoting green, low-carbon and sustainable development.
In view of the above risks, the Group will carefully study and implement the national environmental protection guidelines and policies, continue to increase investment in energy conservation and emission reduction, formulate medium and long-term carbon emission reduction routes, explore economic and efficient carbon emission control paths, strengthen the breakthrough of environmental protection frontier technologies, vigorously develop new energy, environmental protection and other emerging industries, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading.
3. Cement is an energy-dependent industry, and the costs of coal and electricity account for a relatively high proportion of the production costs of clinker. At present, the coal price is still at a high level. Once the price rises sharply again due to factors such as policy changes or market supply and demand, it will push up the production costs of the Group. It will further reduce the company's profit margin.
In view of the above risks, the Group will conduct in-depth research and analysis on the changes in the market supply and demand of raw materials such as coal, deepen strategic cooperation with large coal enterprises, expand direct supply channels, minimize the procurement cost of raw materials, accelerate the use of clean energy and optimize the fuel energy structure. At the same time, we will continue to promote energy-saving and consumption-reducing technological transformation, continuously improve the fine management level of production lines, reduce coal and electricity consumption indicators, and reduce the cost of coal and electricity use.
It is reported that in 2022, Conch Cement will increase cement production capacity by 3.85 million tons, aggregate production capacity by 44.8 million tons, commercial concrete production capacity by 10.8 million cubic meters, and installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation by 275 MW. By the end of 2022, Conch Group had a clinker production capacity of 269 million tons, a cement production capacity of 388 million tons, an aggregate production capacity of 108 million tons, a commercial concrete production capacity of 25.5 million cubic meters, and an installed capacity of 475 MW in operation.
In order to further promote the green, digital and intelligent development of the cement industry, China Cement Network will be launched on April 24-25, 2023. The " China Cement Industry Green Development Summit Forum and Ultra-clean Emission Technology Exchange Conference " and the " Fourth China Cement Intelligent Summit Forum " were held in Changsha, Hunan Province, inviting industry experts, cement and related enterprises. Jointly promote the high-quality development of the cement industry! After the meeting, we will visit Sinoma Zhuzhou Cement Co., Ltd. and the first set of international "one-box SCR denitrification project of dust and nitrate".
