CDB Financial Leasing reports strong H1 2025 profit growth

China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. announced a net profit of 2,401.0 million yuan for the first half of 2025, marking a 27.6% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Total revenue and other income grew by 7.7% to 14,664.4 million yuan. This was primarily driven by reduced interest expenses due to lower borrowing and financing costs, along with increased foreign exchange gains and aircraft insurance compensation income. The company's total assets reached 417,727.3 million yuan, up 2.9% from the end of 2024, largely due to increased cash and bank balances.

Finance lease income decreased by 6.2% to 5,041.2 million yuan, while operating lease income saw a slight dip of 1.5% to 7,004.0 million yuan. Net investment gains decreased by 59.6% to 34.2 million yuan. The non-performing asset ratio remained stable at 0.63%, and the capital adequacy ratio improved to 13.10%.

The aircraft leasing segment's profit before tax surged to 1,114.5 million yuan from a loss of 62.0 million yuan in H1 2024, bolstered by lease revenue increases and insurance settlements for detained aircraft. The company expanded its diversified global customer base, now serving 87 lessees across 42 countries and regions.
