TTM loss of C¥3.4b keeps profitability under pressure

• Over the trailing 12 months, Gemdale Properties and Investment reported a net income loss of C¥3,411.2 million on revenue of C¥8,504.5 million, after a half year 2025 net income loss of C¥1,008.2 million on revenue of C¥6,467.8 million.
• Critics highlight that earnings have declined by about 65.8% per year over five years, and the most recent half year figures align with that bearish concern through:
  • Three consecutive half year periods of net income loss, ranging from C¥2,179.1 million in 1H 2024 to C¥2,391.7 million in 2H 2024 and C¥1,008.2 million in 1H 2025, all pointing to ongoing pressure on the bottom line.
  • Trailing 12 month basic EPS loss of C¥0.21, compared with single period EPS losses of C¥0.13 to C¥0.14 in the 2024 halves and C¥0.06 in 1H 2025, which supports the view that profitability challenges are not limited to a single reporting window.

0.2x P/S contrasts with multi year losses

• The stock trades on a P/S of about 0.2x versus an industry average of 0.6x and a peer average of 7.6x, while the company remains loss making on trailing 12 month net income of C¥3,411.2 million loss.
• What stands out for investors weighing the bearish focus on losses against potential upside is the tension between:
  • A very low sales multiple that is far below peers, which some may see as pricing in the C¥3,399.8 million to C¥3,411.2 million range of trailing 12 month losses.
  • The fact that there is no support from profitability metrics yet, with a basic EPS loss of C¥0.21 over the trailing 12 months and no positive earnings periods in the recent half year data to suggest why the valuation gap to peers should close.

Debt strain meets weak operating cash flow cover

• Analysis of the last 12 months highlights that debt is not well covered by operating cash flow, at the same time that the business produced a trailing 12 month net income loss of C¥3,411.2 million.
• Bears argue that this combination of cash flow and earnings pressure compounds risk, and the reported numbers give that view some clear backing:
  • Multi year earnings decline of about 65.8% per year alongside three straight half year net income losses between C¥1,008.2 million and C¥2,391.7 million makes it harder for operating cash flow to support debt obligations.
  • The share price at C¥0.143 sits against this backdrop of weak coverage and sustained losses, which helps explain why balance sheet risk is a central part of the cautious narrative.
