Anhui Conch Cement to pay 2025 interim dividend of RMB 0.24 per share

Anhui Conch Cement Co., Ltd. announced its 2025 interim profit distribution plan, proposing a cash dividend of RMB 0.24 per share (tax inclusive) to all shareholders. This distribution will be based on the total share capital, excluding shares in the company's dedicated buyback account, as of the equity distribution record date. The total cash dividend is calculated to be RMB 1,266,494,410.56, representing 29% of the net profit attributable to shareholders for the first half of 2025.

The decision was authorized by the 2024 annual general meeting, which empowered the board of directors to formulate and implement the 2025 interim dividend plan, ensuring the total cash dividend does not exceed 30% of the net profit attributable to listed company shareholders in the current period's consolidated financial statements. The company’s unaudited financial data for the first half of 2025 shows a net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 4,367,868,000, a 31.34% increase from the same period in 2024.

The company's asset-liability ratio stood at 20.52% as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of 0.79 percentage points from the end of the previous year, primarily due to a reduction in total liabilities. The EBITDA interest coverage ratio for the first half of 2025 was 28.31, a 42.31% increase compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a rise in total profit and a decrease in interest expenses.
