Jilin Forest Industry discusses half-year results, production, and challenges

Jilin Forest Industry Co., Ltd. held its 2025 half-year results briefing on August 26, 2025, on the Shanghai Stock Exchange Roadshow Center. Key company executives attended, including chairman and acting board secretary Jiang Changlong, general manager Wang Jinhui, independent directors Ding Junjie, He Jianjun, and Wang Guanqun, and CFO Bai Gang. They engaged with investors and responded to questions regarding the company's performance and future outlook.

A key topic addressed was the new 200,000-ton production capacity, currently in trial operation. The company also clarified that the Shenshuiquan prospecting right, with an estimated capacity of 2 million tons, is undergoing exploration expected to be completed in 12 months, leading to development in 2026. Regarding the underperforming landscaping segment, Jilin Forest Industry stated that spinning off non-core businesses remains challenging given current industry conditions, with no definite information on future actions.

For the first half of 2025, natural gas-containing water has been launched, though its sales volume currently represents a very small proportion of the company's total sales. The company acknowledged that while legal methods for debt collection are strong, the process from litigation to enforcement can be lengthy, making it difficult to assess recovery probabilities for outstanding accounts. The company refrained from providing specific revenue and profit forecasts for the second half of 2025, urging investors to monitor official announcements.
