Tianli Holdings Group Limited 2025 Annual Report – Key Investor Insights

Major Highlights and Investor-Relevant Details

• Going Concern Uncertainty:

  The independent auditor’s report flags material uncertainty about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of 31 December 2025, Tianli Holdings Group Limited had bank loans of RMB 441.5 million that did not meet certain financial covenants. This situation, alongside other factors, casts significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although management has outlined plans to improve liquidity—such as negotiating with banks, restructuring within the Group, speeding up receivables collection, exploring other financing options, and deferring capital injections—these plans are not guaranteed to succeed. If the Group cannot continue as a going concern, substantial write-downs of assets and reclassification of non-current assets and liabilities would be required, which could significantly impact shareholder value and the share price.

• No Final Dividend for 2025:

  The Board did not recommend the payment of any final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025 (2024: Nil). This decision reflects the Group’s cautious capital management in the face of financial headwinds. Shareholders should be aware that the absence of dividend payouts can affect the attractiveness of the stock, particularly for income-focused investors.

• Financial Position and Capital Structure:
  • Distributable Reserves: As at 31 December 2025, distributable reserves were RMB 423.7 million, down from RMB 437.0 million in 2024.
  • Bank and Other Loans: Total bank and other loans amounted to RMB 1,335.4 million, indicating a substantial debt load.
  • Financial Assets: The Group holds RMB 455.1 million in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (primarily unlisted equity instruments, subject to complex valuation).
• Business Segments:

  The Group operates two main segments:

  • Manufacturing and sale of MLCC (Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitors)
  • Investment and financial services, including direct investments, asset management, financial advisory, and fintech

  Investors should note that the MLCC business is cyclical and sensitive to technology sector trends, while the investment segment’s performance is linked to asset market conditions.

• Key Financial Risks:
  • Liquidity Risk: The Group faces significant liquidity risk in light of its debt obligations and the aforementioned banking covenant breaches. Management is monitoring cash flows and liabilities closely, but the risk remains material.
  • Credit Risk: The Group is exposed to credit risk from accounts and bills receivable (RMB 462.8 million at year-end 2025) and other financial assets. The allowance for expected credit losses is based on management’s judgment regarding risk of default and recoverability.
  • Interest Rate and Currency Risk: While most borrowings are fixed-rate, the Group does have exposure to changes in interest rates for certain variable-rate loans. A 100 basis point change would affect profit after tax by approximately RMB 5.7 million. The Group also faces currency risk primarily from USD and JPY exposures.
• Valuation of Financial Instruments:

  The Group’s substantial holdings in unlisted equity instruments (RMB 455.1 million) are measured using Level 3 fair value techniques, involving significant management estimation and subjectivity. Any adverse change in valuation inputs could have a direct impact on reported profit and equity, and thus the share price.

• Shareholder Communication and Governance:

  The Company emphasizes effective communication with shareholders and has not made any changes to its constitutional documents during the year. There is also a formal dividend policy in place, although no dividend is proposed for 2025.

• Regulatory and Legal Compliance:
  • The Group has procedures in place for handling inside information and has adopted anti-money laundering and know-your-client policies.
  • No connected transactions required disclosure under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules for 2025.
• Potential Accounting Changes:

  The Group notes that several new or revised IFRS standards will become effective in future years, including IFRS 18 (which will significantly affect the presentation of financial statements from 2027). The Group is assessing the impact, but at this stage does not expect material changes to current disclosures or financial positions.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Going concern risk is material. Investors should monitor developments around the Group’s debt negotiations, liquidity measures, and any updates regarding banking covenants.
• No dividend payout for 2025 may affect investor sentiment and valuation.
• The Group’s exposure to unlisted, hard-to-value investments adds volatility and uncertainty to reported results.
• Macro and segment-specific risks (MLCC cycles, investment market conditions) continue to affect performance.

Investors are strongly advised to exercise caution, pay close attention to future Company announcements, and consider the Group’s risk profile in light of the above factors.
