Executive Summary

Zhongyuan Bank reported QQ1 2025 revenue of CNY 2,745,797,000, down 6.86% year over year and down 23.45% quarter over quarter, with gross profit equal to revenue (gross margin effectively 100% in the dataset). Operating income stood at CNY 774,543,000, down 9.74% year over year but up 18.59% quarter over quarter, underscoring a resilient core operating base amid a softer top line. Net income was CNY 1,016,783,000, down 0.78% year over year but up 45.63% quarter over quarter, producing an EPS of CNY 0.0258, up 111.48% on a QoQ basis. The bank ended QQ1 with a negative operating cash flow of CNY 19.52B and a negative free cash flow of CNY 19.80B, while maintaining a net cash position (net debt = -CNY 26.96B) and a solid liquidity buffer (cash and cash equivalents of CNY 41.64B). Total assets reached CNY 1.4079T, with total equity of CNY 96.88B. Return metrics remained muted (ROE ~1.05%), reflecting a subdued profitability profile relative to capital base, though the balance sheet shows ample liquidity and a conservative leverage stance. Given the lack of explicit forward guidance in the materials, the near-term trajectory will hinge on macro policy, loan growth, and the bank’s ability to translate deposits into sustainable net interest income and fee-based revenue.
