3. I have noticed that your company attaches great importance to green development. In 2022, it disclosed the environmental protection investment and the environmental protection fee items in the management fee in the past two years, and announced the total amount of your company's environmental protection investment for a long time. Can you provide the specific amount of capitalization and expensing of your company's environmental protection investment since 2018?
Answer: The investment in environmental protection technological transformation disclosed in the Company's annual report and social responsibility report includes capitalized expenditure and expensed expenditure. Those that meet the capitalization conditions are mainly included in fixed assets and construction in progress, and those that meet the expensed conditions are mainly included in R & D expenses or management expenses. For details, please refer to the annual reports and social responsibility reports disclosed by the Company in recent years.
4. Has photovoltaic power generation been put into operation?
Answer: By the end of 2022, the Company's installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in operation is 475 MW, and the annual photovoltaic power generation capacity in 2022 is 272 million kWh. The company will continue to focus on the dual-carbon target task, accelerate the development of new energy industries such as distributed photovoltaic, reduce carbon emissions, reduce electricity costs, and build a clean energy system.
5. At present, the dividend rate is far greater than cost of capital. It is suggested that the board of directors consider privatization and delisting. Or completely repurchase H shares and cancel delisting from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Answer: The company has no such plan. The first quarterly report
of Conch Cement 2023 shows that the company's main business income is 31.368 billion yuan, up 23.18% year-on-year; the net profit attributable to the parent company is 2.551 billion yuan, down 48.2% year-on-year; the net profit deducted from non-profits is 2.155 billion yuan, down 52.87% year-on-year; The debt ratio is 18.5%, the investment income is 89.1064 million yuan, the financial cost is -283 million yuan, and the gross profit rate is 16.5%.
At present, the downward trend of cement demand is prominent, energy prices remain high, costs remain high for a long time, and profit compression has become the norm. Improving energy efficiency and reducing cost pressure have become the key breakthrough points for cement enterprises to enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness.
