Huaneng Power International, Inc.: The Profit Attributable to Equity Holders of the Company Increased by 31.47% Compared to the Same Period Last Year

2015-08-25 10:24 ET - News Release

BEIJING, Aug. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. ("HPI", the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011) today announced its unaudited operating results prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

For the first half of 2015, The Company and its subsidiaries recorded consolidated operating revenue of RMB65.305billion (equivalent to approximately USD10.682 billion, based on the exchange rate of USD1 to RMB6.1136 as of June 30, 2015), representing an increase of 1.08% compared to the same period of last year, and net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of RMB 8.951 billion (equivalent to approximately USD1.464 billion), representing an increase of 31.47% compared to the same period of last year. Earnings per share amounted to RMB 0.62, and earnings per ADS amounted to RMB24.80 (equivalent to approximately USD 4.06). The profit increase was mainly due to reduced domestic fuel costs, and the profit contribution from the newly acquired power plants and the operation of new generating units.

During the first half of 2015, in face of the structural changes in the State's economy and the stagnant growth of total electricity consumption nationwide compared to the same period of last year, the Company seized the favorable situation of the decline in coal market prices, demanded power plants to grasp power generation and at the same time controlled coal prices. Through strict control in expenditures, the Company improved its profitability substantially, and accomplished well comparatively each of the business plans in the first half of 2015.

Power Generation.  In the first half of this year, the power plants of the Company in operation within China achieved a total power generation of 159.816 billion kWh, representing an increase of 5.32% from the same period of last year, as well as an electricity sold of 150.653 billion kWh, an increase of 4.95% from the same period of last year, and with 2,101 utilization hours, representing a decrease of 273 hours compared to the same period of previous year. The accumulated power generation of Tuas Power Limited in Singapore, which is wholly owned by the Company, accounted for a market share of 22.4%, representing an increase of 0.8 percentage point compared to the same period last year (which was 21.6%).

Cost Control.  Affected by the slowdown in the development of the economy in China, the demand for coal decreased. Coal supply still outstripped demand in the coal market, and the coal prices dropped significantly. Seizing the opportunity from the prevailing loose coal market and the transportation by railway, and further shifting and adjusting business modes and structures, the Company continued to reinforce its co-operation with large-scale coal companies, adopting the price-competitive approach in purchase of coal in the market, and at the same time strengthening the management of suppliers in order to have a full control of fuel costs.

Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection. The Company attaches great importance to energy conservation and environmental protection. To-date, all of the coal-fired generating units of the Company have been equipped with desulphurization, denitrification and dust emission devices, with all indicators meeting with the environmental protection requirements. At the same time, the Company proposes to implement super low emission reform to generation units in certain areas according to schedule. In the first half of 2015, the Company has completed reform to 10 generation units, thereby achieving a total of 18 generation units of the Company that meet with the indicators for super low emission.
