In the first three quarters of 2024, it achieved operating income of 6.34 billion yuan, an increase of 10.42% over the previous year, and achieved net profit of 1.726 billion yuan to mother, an increase of 73.72% over the previous year. Among them, 24Q3 achieved revenue of 2.23 billion yuan in a single quarter, up 1.13% year on year and 11.82% month on month; realized net profit of 0.648 billion yuan to mother, up 67.48% year on year and 13.04% month on month.
Tire sales improved month-on-month, and the 24Q3 industry continued to meet expectations. In the first three quarters, the company achieved tire sales of 23.3581 million bars, an increase of 7.88% over the previous year. Among them, sales of semi-steel tires and 0.6765 million tires were 22.6815 and 0.6765 million, respectively, up 7.33% and 30.10% year-on-year, respectively. Due to the release of Thailand's production capacity for phase II and a half steel tires and all-steel tires, the company's tire sales increased year-on-year in the first three quarters. On a quarterly basis, 24Q3 achieved tire sales of 8.261 million bars, an increase of 10.29% over the previous month. Among them, sales of semi-steel tires and all-steel tires were 806.94 and 0.1916 million bars respectively, up 10.06% and 21.19%, respectively. In terms of semi-steel tires, the 24Q3 shipping factor disrupted the war, and the month-on-month improvement in sales may be related to the gradual return to normal delivery. In terms of all-steel tires, the month-on-month increase in 24Q3 sales may be related to the gradual digestion of overseas inventories leading to an increase in orders for all-steel tires. In terms of profitability, 24Q3's gross sales margin and net sales margin were 39.52% and 29.07% respectively, up 4.26 and 0.31 percentage points from month to month, respectively. Overall, the company's profitability is still at a high level. Among them, receiving partial tax rebates from US Customs is the main reason for the month-on-month increase in gross margin in 24Q3. The cost performance advantage of domestic brand tires is prominent, and the market share tends to rise. Despite the intensification of competition in the global tire market, against the backdrop of high overseas inflation and high interest rates, the cost performance advantage of domestic brand tires is prominent, and they are gradually seizing the global tire market share. In January-August, US imports of semi-steel tires and all-steel tires were 111.02 and 38.39 million bars, respectively, up 5.07% and 23.72% year-on-year respectively.

EU semi-steel tires are mainly imported from China; all-steel tires are mainly imported from Southeast Asia, especially after the EU initiated anti-dumping sanctions against Chinese truck and bus tires in 2018. In January-August, EU imports of semi-steel tires and all-steel tires were 0.8521 and 0.4003 million tons respectively, up 8.67% and 5.45% year-on-year respectively.
