GCL Technology Holdings (3800.HK) Q2 2025 Earnings Report

GCL Technology reported QQ2 2025 revenue of CNY 5.7347 billion, up 83.96% year over year, supported by the company’s Solar Material and New Energy portfolio. Despite revenue growth, the quarter delivered a substantial gross loss of CNY 700.2 million and an operating loss of CNY 2.046 billion, resulting in a net loss of CNY 1.777 billion and an EPS of -0.0636. The negative profitability is driven by a gross margin of -12.21% (gross profit of -CNY 700.2 million) and elevated operating expenses (R&D CNY 353.0 million; G&A CNY 624.5 million; SG&A CNY 992.7 million). EBITDA stood at -CNY 111.5 million, with an EBIT margin of -3.57% and a net margin of -30.97%. On the liquidity and balance sheet side, the company shows a current ratio of 1.092 and a cash ratio of 0.206, indicating modest liquidity, alongside a debt ratio of 0.247 and a debt-to-capitalization of 0.325, implying manageable leverage but exposure to working-capital intensity. The working-capital profile features a high receivables balance with a days sales outstanding of 118.6 days and a relatively moderate inventory turnover of 3.26x (27.63 days inventory), with payables outstanding at 139.5 days, suggesting stretched collection cycles and favorable supplier terms offsetting cash-flow timing. Management commentary from the QQ2 2025 release is not disclosed in the provided transcript data, limiting the ability to extract direct quotes or guidance. Investors should monitor cost of revenue discipline, pricing dynamics in polysilicon/wafer segments, project execution in Solar Farm and New Energy assets, and any management-provided forward guidance in upcoming releases. Overall, the near-term earnings trajectory remains challenging despite revenue growth, with the potential for improvement only if cost structures and project monetization align with the industry backdrop.
