Q3 2020 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue was RMB 6.79 billion. On a comparable basis, taking into account the accounting change in revenue recognition, it was an increase of 11.2% year on year (see note).
- Generated RMB 1.48 billion cash from operations, up 171.3% year on year. With net capex investments of RMB 0.69 billion, free cash flow for the quarter was RMB 0.79 billion.
- Net profit was RMB 0.40 billion, a record high in the company’s history.
- Earnings per share was RMB 0.25, as compared to RMB 0.05 in Q3 2019.
Note: During the reporting period, we optimized the business model for the purchase and sale of certain packaged products, of which JCET Group no longer bears the general inventory risk on the main raw materials. In accordance with PRC GAAP, both revenue and costs of goods sold were recorded on the net basis and decreased by RMB 1.05 billion respectively. This change had no impact on the company’s net profit. Assuming that revenue was still recognized by the gross method (should be recorded on the net basis according to PRC GAAP), it would be RMB 7.84 billion, an increase of 11.2% over the same period last year.
