Huaneng Power International ( (HK:0902) ) has provided an announcement.

Huaneng Power International reported unaudited first-quarter 2026 results prepared under PRC GAAP, showing operating revenue of RMB 56.78 billion and net profit attributable to equity holders of RMB 4.48 billion, both down year-on-year. Profitability indicators weakened, with net profit after non-recurring items falling over 12% and return on net assets dropping to 5.78%, while total assets edged up and operating cash flow declined nearly 29%, signaling pressure on earnings quality and cash generation despite a stable asset base.

The company’s basic and diluted earnings per share slipped to RMB 0.25, reflecting softer performance versus the same period last year and a 5.58% decrease in equity attributable to shareholders. The figures, disclosed under Hong Kong listing and securities regulations, suggest tighter operating conditions and potentially higher financial discipline will be needed to support returns and balance sheet strength in the current environment.
