As a comprehensive listed company integrating ecological agriculture and animal husbandry, ecological energy, and ecological environment, Tianyu Ecology (stock code: 603717) showed the development of its diversified business in its financial report for the third quarter of 2023. Adhering to the core concept of “ecology”, the company is committed to the integrated development of technology research and development and project construction through a series of business activities such as project investment, industry introduction, and implementation and operation. In terms of ecological farming and animal husbandry business, Tianyu Ecology has adopted self-cultivation and a “company+farmer” model, and has initially established a large-scale pig breeding and sales system. At the same time, the company is also continuously expanding the production and sales of agricultural products and agricultural and sideline products. In the field of ecological energy, the company uses its project management advantages and market resources to promote the upgrading and empowerment of traditional ecological businesses.

From a balance sheet perspective, Tianyu Ecology's total assets increased by 4.51% from 3.461 billion yuan at the end of last year to 3,617 billion yuan at the end of this reporting period. Total liabilities also increased, from $2,027 billion at the end of the previous year to $2,356 million at the end of the reporting period. Net assets, on the other hand, declined from $1,434 million at the end of the previous year to $1,261 million. The balance ratio increased to 65.13% from 58.57% at the end of the previous year. This change may reflect the company's increased financial leverage to expand its business.

In terms of profit performance, the company faces major challenges. Revenue fell to 593 million yuan from 645 million yuan in the same period last year, a decrease of 8.03%. Both operating profit and net profit declined sharply. Among them, operating profit fell to -172 million yuan from 48.3592 million yuan in the same period last year, and net profit also fell to -173 million yuan from 502.356 million yuan in the same period last year. Gross margin and net profit margin fell sharply to -5.47% and -29.13%, respectively, from 19.07% and 7.79% in the same period last year, and return on net assets (ROE) also fell to -12.83% from 3.02% at the end of the previous year. The decline in these indicators is mainly due to a decrease in income in the ecological agriculture and animal husbandry sector.

In terms of cash flow, net cash flow from operating activities decreased to -224 million yuan from 46.0314 million yuan in the same period last year. The total cash inflow from operating activities decreased to $621 million from the same period last year to $621 million, while the subtotal cash outflow increased from $914 million to $844 million. Reduced cash flow may mean that companies are under pressure to recover capital from their business activities.

Overall, Tianyu Ecology faced a series of challenges in the third quarter of 2023, especially the decline in operating income and net profit, reflecting some pressure on the company's current operating conditions. A rise in the balance to debt ratio may also mean an increase in the financial risk of a company as it expands its business.

For investors, although Tianyu Ecology is currently facing certain business challenges, the company's diversified business layout and deep cultivation in the ecological field still have potential market opportunities. Investors should pay close attention to the company's future business strategy adjustments and changes in the market environment to make more informed investment decisions.
