Huayou Cobalt Scored Growth In Production And Sales Of New Cobalt Materials, And Accelerated Transformation And upgrading

Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ltd. (“Huayou Cobalt”) is mainly engaged in manufacturing new energy lithium battery materials and new cobalt materials, including ternary precursors of lithium battery materials and new cobalt materials as cobaltosic oxide and cobaltous sulfate. Based on the financial report of H1 2019 of Huayou Cobalt, it realized an operating income of RMB 9.104 billion, up by 34.21% on a year-on-year basis.

In H1 2019, under the pressure of weak market price of cobalt products, Huayou Cobalt endeavored to give play to its own advantages, and successfully improved the performance of the first two quarters on a month-on-month basis. Specifically, in H1 2019, Huayou Cobalt produced 12,600-ton cobalt products (up by 17.79% on a year-on-year basis) and sold 12,800-ton cobalt products (up by 37.16% on a year-on-year basis), which fully demonstrated the leading position of Huayou Cobalt.

Based on the data published by CAAM, in H1 2019, the production and sales of battery electric vehicles reached 490,000 and 493,000 respectively, up by 56.6% and 57.3% on a year-on-year basis respectively, and the positive terminal market data revealed the vitality of new energy industry and huge demand for cathode materials. Currently, the core products of Huayou Cobalt have been included in the supply chain of world-famous new energy lithium battery enterprises as LG CHEM, CATL, BYD, POSCO, and it has carried out strategic collaboration with new energy electric vehicle and energy storage enterprises as TESLA, connected, expanded and deeply optimized the application channel of downstream products, and accelerated the transformation to supply of new energy lithium battery materials.

Moreover, Huayou Cobalt paid high attention to the industry chain layout, formed a vertically integrated industry chain in three segments of resources, non-ferrous metals and new energy, and actively explored the recycling segment, in order to fully create a circular industry ecosystem covering cobalt-nickel resources, smelting, ternary precursors, cathode materials for lithium ion batteries and resources recycling.
