Caixin News Network March 17 (Reporter Wang Bin) In the first year after Cao Dewang stepped down as Chairman of Fuyao Glass (00660.SH), the company’s performance continued to grow. On the evening of March 17, Fuyao Glass released its 2025 annual report, with both revenue and net profit reaching record-best levels in history. Worth noting is that since 2021, the company’s revenue and net profit have both achieved double-digit growth for five consecutive years.

The financial report shows that last year the company achieved revenue of 45.787 billion yuan, up 16.65% year over year; net profit attributable to shareholders was 9.312 billion yuan, up 24.20% year over year. However, the company’s revenue and profit growth rates slowed compared with the previous year. In 2024, its revenue and net profit growth rates were 18.37% and 33.20%, respectively.

In remarks in the 2025 annual report, Fuyao Glass’s current Chairman, Cao Dewang’s son Cao Hui, said that in 2025, the global economy normalized to low growth, with multiple uncertainties compounded by geopolitical conflicts and fluctuations in trade policies, bringing challenges to the global supply chain and the automotive industry such as weakened demand and rising costs.

Fuyao Glass said that the increase in company revenue mainly came from strengthening its marketing efforts and increasing the proportion of higher value-added products. In its view, in the short term, the automotive industry is in a continuous recovery process; however, domestic and international conditions remain complex and severe, and the industry’s multiple challenges and uncertainties have not yet eased.

For 2026, Fuyao Glass proposes: implementing a multi-market layout and a strategy of dual engines—both domestic and international; accelerating the advancement of new projects such as the Shanghai aluminum parts, Chongqing aluminum parts, Anhui trim pieces, and Anhui molds, to enhance the company’s supply assurance capacity; fully promoting digital and intelligent transformation, advancing production-line automation upgrades and digitalized management and control, and building “Digital Fuyao,” among others.

To complete the company’s operating plan and work targets for 2026, Fuyao Glass expects this year’s total funding needs to be 49.862 billion yuan, including operating expenditures of 39.0 billion yuan, capital expenditures of 7.730 billion yuan, and cash dividend payment expenditures of 3.132 billion yuan (excluding any interim dividend that may be implemented in 2026). The company plans to resolve the funding needs by, among other measures, accelerating the collection of sales receivables and inventory turnover, optimizing the use of cash balances, borrowing from financial institutions, and issuing bonds.

Fuyao Glass’s main business is to provide safety glass and end-to-end solution for automotive trim parts for various transportation vehicles, including design, production, sales, and services related to automotive-grade float glass, automotive glass, locomotive glass, luggage racks, and trim parts for windows. In 2025, the company’s production and sales volumes for automotive glass were 175 million square meters and 169 million square meters, respectively, while those for float glass were 1.7345 million tons and 1.7451 million tons, respectively.

Under these circumstances, last year the net cash flow from operating activities was 12.055 billion yuan, up 40.79% year over year.

By product, last year Fuyao Glass’s automotive glass business generated revenue of 41.889 billion yuan, up 15.33% year over year, with a gross margin of 31.32%, up 1.17 percentage points from the previous year. The float glass business generated revenue of 6.480 billion yuan, up slightly by 2.60% year over year, with a gross margin of 8.71%, up 3.60 percentage points from the previous year.

As of the end of 2025, Fuyao Glass’s total assets were 70.062 billion yuan, up 10.76% from the beginning of the year; total liabilities were 32.510 billion yuan, up 17.92% from the beginning of the year, and the company’s leverage ratio was 46.40%.
