According to the filing, Wuling Motors projects a net profit of approximately 170 million yuan for fiscal 2025, compared with 111.245 million yuan in the prior year — a rise of about 53%. Profit attributable to owners is expected to reach around 78 million yuan, up 54% from the same period in 2024. Both key profitability indicators grew by more than half, underscoring a sustained improvement in the company's operational health.
The announcement clarified the primary drivers behind this growth. On one hand, operational efficiency in core businesses like automotive power systems and components continued to improve, providing a solid foundation for profit gains. On the other, Wuling Motors effectively reduced financing costs, further expanding overall profitability.
Notably, R&D spending increased significantly during the period, driven by new product development and project advancement. Despite the pressure of heavier investment, the company still managed to achieve profit growth against the trend.
This profit forecast is based on preliminary calculations and has not yet been reviewed by the audit committee or formally audited. Final figures may see minor adjustments, with Wuling Motors set to release the full audited annual report later.
This projected profit increase not only reflects the resilience and efficiency gains of Wuling Motors' core business units but also signals a relative balance between R&D innovation and cost control.
