冰火两重天!水泥1546亿元的利润背后是怎样的风云诡谲?

2019-03-29 11:15:00

在行业回暖趋势下,与其他地区水泥上市公司的亮眼业绩截然相反的,是仍受困于“寒冬”的东北地区水泥企业,许多企业依旧挣扎在生死线上。深耕东北地区20余年的亚泰集团给出的预减报告显示,其2018年净利润为1000万元~9000万元,同比下降88.56%~98.68%,行业区域表现分化严重。

  2018年,供给侧结构性改革在水泥行业持续发力,密集的开工及基建补短板进一步拉动水泥需求。在此背景下,水泥价格实现高位运行,进而带动全行业利润大幅提升。数据显示,全国PO42.5水泥均价427元/吨,比2017年上涨77元/吨,同比增长22%;全行业实现利润1546亿元,达到历史最好水平。

  优良的业绩同样反映在水泥行业上市公司新鲜出炉的2018年业绩预报中。据记者统计,目前A股已发布业绩预报的16家水泥行业上市公司中,13家企业净利润同比增长,占比81.25%。其中,净利润同比增长超100%的企业10家,青松建化净利润同比增长高达613%,福建水泥净利润同比增长达312.78%~337.15%,天山股份达277.47%;而从绝对值上看,7家企业净利润逾10亿元,海螺水泥以285.39亿元~317.10亿元的预期净利润遥遥领先,是名副其实的行业巨无霸。

  然而,在行业回暖趋势下,与其他地区水泥上市公司的亮眼业绩截然相反的,是仍受困于“寒冬”的东北地区水泥企业,许多企业依旧挣扎在生死线上。深耕东北地区20余年的亚泰集团给出的预减报告显示,其2018年净利润为1000万元~9000万元,同比下降88.56%~98.68%,行业区域表现分化严重。

  华北、西南地区:

  基建拉动利润向好龙头企业持续领跑

  华北地区水泥企业受益于基础建设强力拉动,全年产量达1.7亿吨,同比增长8.5%,领先全国其他各区域。

  2018年前11个月,京津冀地区公路水路投资1107亿元,同比增长28.7%,带动水泥需求强劲增长。自2018年四季度基建补短板基调确定以来,京津冀一体化及雄安新区建设加速。受益于基建强力驱动,华北地区9月~12月的月度水泥需求增速分别为-1.86%、35.75%、36.42%、71.73%,四季度补短板保增长从微观上直接得到了印证。

  在需求的强劲拉动下,华北区域内水泥企业业绩表现良好。金隅冀东战略重组效应持续显现,受益于核心区域水泥市场秩序持续改善,以及公司水泥企业强化管理,运行质量持续提升,公司水泥和熟料量价齐升,营业收入同比增幅较大,水泥企业利润同比有所增加。金隅股份去年实现净利润盈利30.00亿元~34.00亿元,同比增长6%~20%;冀东水泥实现净利润14.50亿元~15.30亿元,同比大幅增长188.11%~204.01%。

  金隅集团相关负责人表示,随着国家供给侧结构性改革逐步深化,去年房地产企业结转面积同比增加6万平方米,结转毛利率同比有所增长,因此房地产企业利润较去年同期也有所增加。金隅冀东相关负责人表示,去年因公司合营企业金隅冀东(唐山)混凝土环保科技集团有限公司亏损,预计影响本年投资收益减少3.03亿元,同比影响投资收益减少1.55亿元。

  西南地区去年全年水泥需求同比需求增长6.4%,增速仅次于华北地区。在扶贫计划支撑下,西南地区基建及农村需求保持强劲,前11个月公路水路投资累计同比上升10.3%,西南5省份水泥需求均呈现同比增长态势。

  受需求拉动影响,区域内企业销售情况良好。四川双马业绩较去年同期实现利润大幅增长,2018年净利润盈利5.8亿元~7亿元,同比上年增长185%~244%,上年净利润为2.04亿元。四川双马相关负责人表示,在行业供需回暖之外,公司二级子公司西藏锦合创业投资管理有限公司开展的私募基金管理业务增加了管理费收入,取得了良好的业绩。

  同样来自西南地区的三圣股份给出略减报告显示,因去年同期公司并购春瑞医化产生投资收益6403.79万元(属非经常性损益),本期无此项收益造成预计净利润降低。预计2018年净利润盈利1.1亿元~1.4亿元,较去年同期1.8亿元,同比下降22.00%~38.45%。

  东北、西北地区:

  需求萎缩下滑趋势难以逆转

  在供给端,虽然去年全国水泥和熟料总产量都略有增长,但东北和西北仍有11个省份同比负增长;在需求端,两区域内水泥需求均主要靠基建工程的驱动。然而,近年来,随着大型基建项目陆续完工,两地基建投资需求逐渐降低。统计数据显示,2018年全国固定资产投资同比增长5.9%,东北地区投资仅增长1%,而东部、中部、西部地区这一数字分别是5.7%、10%和4.7%;2018年前11个月,东北地区公路水路投资分别同比下降4.0%和32.9%,区域内需求下滑趋势难以逆转。

  其中,东北三省及内蒙古自治区水泥行业情况更为严峻。区域内水泥熟料产能利用率已经连续3年持续下滑,从2017年开始,4省区的熟料产能利用率数据已跌入企业技经中的风险控制平衡点以下。加之东北地区执行错峰生产不到位情况较为严重,市场分析表示,整个行业在产品需求下降的情况下,提高产品价格也不能改变行业亏损的局面。

  在此背景下,深耕东北市场20余年的龙头企业亚泰集团发布了业绩预减报告:预计去年归属于上市公司股东的净利润盈利1000万元~9000万元,同比减少88.56%~98.68%。这是自其2016年扭亏为盈、2017年预增之后,3年来交出的第一份预减报告。值得注意的是,上一次亚泰集团的预减报告是2015年的首亏报告。

  在变动原因中,亚泰集团表示,公司的控股子公司——兰海泉洲水城(天津)发展有限公司整理的武清泉洲水城项目土地挂牌价格及面积较2017年度降低,致使兰海泉洲水城(天津)发展有限公司2018年年度业绩大幅下降。公司的参股企业——东北证券股份有限公司、吉林银行股份有限公司2018年年度经营业绩下降,致使公司按持股比例确认的投资收益大幅下降。

  在西北地区,西部建设作为全国十大预拌混凝土生产企业,也是西北地区最大的预拌混凝土生产企业,公司产品主要面对新疆地区市场,包括乌鲁木齐市、库尔勒市和奎屯市等3个区域市场,公司在3个区域市场的市场占有率均在40%以上。其发布的预增报告中显示,2018年全年净利润盈利2.64亿元~3.17亿元,同比大幅度增长150%~200%。西部建设表示,业绩提升的原因主要是受益于混凝土行业宏观经济的变化,使得公司全年实际收入高于预期。

  值得注意的是,西北区域内的青松建华和天山股份双双交出了预增报告,但在其中,非经常性损益对主营业务均构成了大幅度影响。其中,青松建化因公司的控股子公司——新疆青松投资集团有限责任公司收到全部搬迁补偿金8.28亿元,扣除搬迁支出、费用及税金后,预计取得补偿收益5.4亿元;加之区域内水泥产品售价提升,预计全年实现净利润3.61亿元,同比大幅度增加613%。

  天山股份报告期内非经常性损益1.3亿元,来自新疆天山建材(集团)房地产开发有限公司按期履行了2018年应付款项,公司将相应的补偿款项计入当期损益,预计2018年实现净利润约10亿元,同比增加277.47%。

  华东、中南地区:

  供需格局良好业绩增长超预期

  华东及中南地区,水泥需求保持稳定增长,两地区水泥需求去年分别同比增长3.1%与3.7%。

  2018年前11个月,华东地区公路水路投资及地产投资分别同比增长13.0%、13.04%,从而拉动水泥需求在环保停产依旧严格的情况下,依然实现了稳定增长,这也体现了区域内良好的供需格局。与此同时,2018年全年地产开工和投资增速超预期,赶工效应对东部水泥需求拉动明显,数据显示,去年华东6省1市产量占全国的32%。

  中南地区的需求增长主要来自两广地区支撑,其中广东省全年需求1.6亿吨,同比增长5.6%,粤东、粤西、粤北等非珠三角地区强劲的基建及农村需求,是两广需求增长良好的主要原因。市场预计,这一趋势近两年内有望持续。

  受益于供给侧结构性改革,区域内供需格局良好,华东地区上市公司业绩表现十分突出。行业“巨无霸”级别企业——海螺水泥发布年报表示,2018年实现净利润298.18亿元,同比增长111.8%,去年此数据为158.55亿元。行业龙头企业万年青表示,2018年实现净利润10.64亿元~12.50亿元,同比增长130%~170%。尖峰集团预计实现净利润5.51亿元~6.20亿元,同增58%~78%。

  区域内,福建水泥在报告期内成功实现扭亏为盈。预计2018年盈利3.23亿元~3.60亿元,同比增加312.78%~337.15%。福建水泥表示,报告期内公司水泥(含商品熟料,下同)平均售价同比上涨30.47%,水泥产品产销两旺,销量同比增加23.34%,成本、费用管控较好,商品毛利率较大提升。

  在中南地区,华新水泥2018年加大环保治理力度,环保处置、燃料替代等有效消化了部分原燃料价格上涨的因素,同时产能规模进一步扩大。报告期内,华新水泥骨料销量同比增长26%,水泥和商品熟料销量同比增长近3%,公司产品价格较上年同期均有较大幅度的上涨。预计2018年实现净利润49.72亿元~53.87亿元,同比增长139%~159%。

  在华南地区,龙头企业塔牌集团得益于水泥行业错峰生产常态化以及传统销售旺季到来,去年四季度公司水泥延续产销两旺态势,全年实现净利润15.50亿元~19.11亿元,同比增长115%~165%。海南瑞泽表示,预计实现净利润1.20亿元~1.70亿元,同比下降3.52%~31.9%。业绩的下滑主要因为公司园林绿化板块业务营业收入及利润均出现下滑,以及公司四季度特别是12月份销售回款未能达到预期,同时部分应收账款账龄结构发生变化,导致公司应收账款坏账准备计提增加。

  国家发改委日前发布的《2018年全国固定资产投资发展趋势监测报告及2019年投资形势展望》指出,在基础设施领域,2018年基础设施拟建项目数量较上年增长5.3%。但在2018年基础设施投资增速回落较大、地方政府融资渠道收缩的形势下,预计基础设施投资增长仍有压力。以基建项目落地周期1年左右判断,2019年基建投资有望保持中速增长态势。

  展望未来一年的行业需求,太平洋证券股份有限公司闫广表示:“在行业下行趋势下,南强北弱格局或将进一步深化,京津冀地区或成亮点。”他说,由于严格调控政策下房地产预计进入下行周期,2019年水泥需求总体将出现小幅下降。分地区而言,长三角、两广及京津冀地区由于受房地产下行影响相对较小以及国家战略规划下基建项目的支撑,需求将保持相对稳定,京津冀地区甚至可能因国家雄安新区建设带动出现持续反弹。其余地区需求的下行压力则相对较大,南强北弱的水泥需求格局预计在此轮下行周期中将进一步深化。

The incorporation of the cement industry into the national carbon market will have a significant impact on cement enterprises in terms of production and operation, data control, transaction costs, energy saving and carbon reduction investment.

Looking forward to the fourth quarter, we believe that the demand for cement will continue to weaken, but under the background of the rising voice of "anti-involution" and the increasing awareness of self-help in the industry, enterprises will intensify their efforts to limit production, cement prices are expected to rise, and industry benefits will continue to be restored. Throughout the year, cement demand will face greater downward pressure, and the industry's profit decline is still large.

The rising price of cement makes the cost of coagulation enterprises increase and the profit is constantly compressed. Most enterprises require cash payment for cement purchases, while concrete sales are mostly on credit, and the concrete merchants caught in the middle suffer at both ends.

So that their enterprises can survive and develop better.

All regions of China's cement industry will enter the new normal in which the production days are less than days of kiln shutdown. The industry should assess the market demand, reasonably determine the production time, and achieve a balance between production and marketing. It is suggested that the relevant departments of the state should implement the anti-involution measures to the production days of the traditional industries in different regions, and adjust the production days according to the real market price, that is, when the market price breaks through the price ceiling, the production days should be increased appropriately, and when the market price breaks through the price floor, the production days should be reduced appropriately, so as to achieve the relative stability of the market price.

Seeing the title, some people are sure to say: "This is not true. A few years ago, everyone in the cement industry ushered in six years of good times in the process of sharing happiness." Is this really the case? As a typical cyclical industry, the development of cement industry is full of ups and downs. From the past experience, when the industry encounters a low ebb, it is easier for enterprises to form a consensus and deal with challenges together; however, after the industry recovers, it is difficult to maintain this spirit of unity.

We need to establish the core values of "others earn more, I can earn more" to guide production and operation. In the short run, only by actively limiting production and restoring the balance of supply and demand in the weak market, can the cement industry achieve a recovery in efficiency.
