SMM May 19 News: Yunnan Aluminum Co., Ltd. recently released its Q1 2025 performance report. According to the announcement, the company achieved a total revenue of 14.411 billion yuan in Q1, up 26.89% YoY. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the publicly listed firm was 974 million yuan, down 16.26% YoY. Regarding the reasons for the company's revenue growth, Yunnan Aluminum stated that it was mainly due to the increase in sales volume and selling prices of aluminum commodities during the reporting period. Meanwhile, the operating costs increased by 33.38% YoY due to the rise in raw material prices and sales volume of aluminum commodities during the reporting period. From the perspective of futures prices, the main SHFE aluminum contract generally fluctuated upward in Q1. As of the close on March 31, 2025, the main SHFE aluminum contract closed at 20,480 yuan/mt, with a quarterly increase of 3.49%. In terms of spot prices, according to SMM spot quotes, the SMMA00 aluminum spot quotes also generally showed an upward trend in Q1. As of March 31, the average spot price of SMMA00 aluminum was reported at 20,560 yuan/mt, up 790 yuan/mt from 19,770 yuan/mt at the end of 2024, representing an increase of approximately 4%. 》Click to view SMM aluminum product spot quotes In late January, coinciding with the Chinese New Year holiday, the unexpected destocking of aluminum ingot inventory in the first two weeks drove aluminum prices to continue to climb, reaching a high of 20,550 yuan/mt during the session on January 20, a new high since December 2024. However, as downstream enterprises took holidays near the end of the year, weakening consumption exerted downward pressure on aluminum prices, which fluctuated downward under pressure. Nevertheless, aluminum prices generally showed an upward trend in January. In February, coinciding with the Chinese New Year holiday, aluminum ingot inventory buildup was slightly higher than the same period in history. However, as downstream enterprises gradually resumed production after the holiday, aluminum prices maintained highs in February despite being in the off-season. By March, the aluminum market entered the traditional peak consumption season, with downstream demand gradually recovering. Coupled with the installation rush stimulated by the new PV policies in the past 1-2 months, aluminum consumption increased, and social inventory showed a destocking trend. Meanwhile, downstream demand also continued to rebound, driving aluminum prices to hold up well in early March. However, in late March, due to poor macro sentiment overseas, funds exited for risk aversion, leading to a decline in the futures market. Nevertheless, from a quarterly perspective, aluminum prices still performed well in Q1. Turning to the current aluminum prices, according to SMM, the recent aluminum market has received support from improved macro environments both domestically and overseas, but bullish and bearish factors are intertwined. On the supply side, domestic aluminum capacity is approaching the ceiling, and the insufficient recovery of hydropower in Yunnan has exacerbated regional supply tightness, limiting the increase in aluminum ingot output. On the cost side, a sudden notice of production suspension was issued for mining areas in Guinea where mining licenses were revoked late last Friday, sparking market concerns about the supply of bauxite raw materials, which may push up alumina costs. However, the specific impact remains to be evaluated. The demand side is under dual pressures from domestic seasonal weakness and trade uncertainties, making significant growth in the short term unlikely. Inventories of aluminum ingots have fallen to a low level compared to the same period last year, and tight spot liquidity is supporting aluminum prices. Overall, favorable macro conditions provide a floor for aluminum prices, and low inventories further strengthen price resilience. However, off-season pressure on the demand side limits upside room. In the short term, attention should be paid to the performance of domestic and overseas demand, as well as the supply situation of bauxite. As of May 19, the spot quote for SMM A00 aluminum remained at 20,220-20,240 yuan/mt, with an average price of 20,230 yuan/mt. Yunnan Aluminum has also been striving to improve the self-sufficiency rate of bauxite. Previously, the company stated that it is enhancing the self-sufficiency rate through the following methods: First, based on current exploration results, bauxite in Yunnan Province is mainly concentrated in areas such as Wenshan and Zhaotong, and the company will increase its efforts in bauxite development in Yunnan Province. Second, focusing on countries in Southeast Asia such as Laos, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia, the company will accelerate the acquisition of exploration rights for bauxite resources in surrounding areas and resource exploration. Third, the company will expedite the processing of existing exploration-to-mining permits, ensure resource continuity, and safeguard the amount of ore available for mining. Public information shows that during the reporting period, Yunnan Aluminum was mainly engaged in the mining of bauxite, production and sales of alumina, green aluminum, aluminum processing, and carbon materials for aluminum production. Its main products include alumina, prebaked anodes for aluminum production, graphitised cathodes, aluminum ingots for remelting, refined aluminum ingots for remelting, round and flat casting ingots of wrought aluminum and aluminum alloys, cast aluminum alloy ingots, round aluminum rods for electrical purposes, aluminum and aluminum alloy welding materials, etc. Meanwhile, the company actively expands its circular economy businesses, including comprehensive utilization of secondary aluminum, solid waste resources from aluminum production, and aluminum ash. It is worth mentioning that according to the company's 2024 performance report, the company achieved a total revenue of 54.45 billion yuan in 2024, up 27.61% YoY, hitting a record high since its listing. The net profit attributable to shareholders of the publicly listed firm was 4.412 billion yuan, up 11.52% YoY. The company mentioned in its annual report data that it currently has a production capacity of 1.4 million mt of alumina, 3.05 million mt of green aluminum, 1.6 million mt of aluminum alloys and aluminum processing products, and 820,000 mt of carbon products. Throughout 2024, the company actively sought to increase its electricity load, seized opportunities, and achieved rapid production resumptions in aluminum production. It promoted standardized production to enhance operational quality, achieving full coverage of standardized processes across the production lines of aluminum, alumina, and carbon products. The company achieved increased production and efficiency for its main products, producing 1.4088 million mt of alumina, 2.9383 million mt of primary aluminum, up 22.45% YoY, 805,800 mt of carbon products, up 2.85% YoY, and 1.2541 million mt of aluminum alloys and aluminum processing products, up 1.75% YoY. Yunnan Aluminum Co., Ltd. was also asked about the impact of new technologies on the future of the aluminum industry. In response, Yunnan Aluminum Co., Ltd. stated that in recent years, the aluminum smelting technology has developed rapidly, with significant breakthroughs in carbon-free anodes, inert anodes, high-end alloy rail transit, high-purity aluminum, 3C electronics, circular economy, and other areas. The impact on the future of the aluminum industry is mainly reflected in energy conservation and carbon reduction, energy efficiency improvement, cost reduction, industrial upgrading promotion, and green development facilitation.

Yunnan Aluminum (000807.SZ) released its Q1 2025 report. The company achieved operating revenue of 14.411 billion yuan, up 26.89% YoY. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the publicly listed firm was 974 million yuan, down 16.26% YoY. Net profit after deducting non-recurring gains and losses was 970 million yuan, down 6.30% YoY.

Currently, the aluminum industry is at a critical juncture of profound transformation and rapid development. From an industrial dynamics perspective, the global aluminum industry is actively responding to the call for green development, accelerating the transition to cleaner production. From an industrial status perspective, China dominates the global aluminum supply chain. However, China's dependence on bauxite imports remains high. Against this backdrop, US tariff policies have had a significant impact on the global aluminum industry. Facing the challenges posed by US tariffs, Chinese aluminum companies are actively seeking countermeasures. On one hand, they are accelerating their layout in the high-end aluminum sector, increasing R&D investment, and driving product transformation towards higher value-added products, such as aviation plates and power battery foils, whose exports are gradually increasing. On the other hand, they are vigorously developing the secondary aluminum industry, as the energy consumption of secondary aluminum is only 5% of that of primary aluminum, aligning with green development needs. Some companies are using transshipment trade through third countries like Malaysia and Thailand to reduce tariff costs. Others are actively applying for green certifications, reducing export costs through digital carbon management systems, and establishing hydropower aluminum bases in the southwest to increase the proportion of green electricity usage, thereby meeting international market demand for green aluminum products.
