Hong Leong Asia’s China Yuchai H1 revenue falls 32.2%

The fall in revenue was attributed to lower motor sales in the half-year.

Hong Leong Asia’s engine manufacturer China Yuchai International Limited reported a fall of 32.2% year-on-year (YoY) to $1.78b in its revenue for the first half of 2022.

Total engines sold in H1 2022 were 180,911 units, 36.6% lower than the same period last year. Truck and bus engine sales declined by 56.8% whilst off-road engine sales decreased by12.7%.

The fall in sales was the direct result of lower sales of commercial vehicles which declined by 49.7% YoY. Truck unit sales fell by 50.9% whilst sales of buses went down by 35.1%. The low industry sales were attributed to lower demand from a high base in H1 2021 which caused weaker commercial vehicle demand.

China Yuchai’s gross profit fell to $277.90m in H1 2022 from $330m from the same time last year. However, gross margins increased by 15.9% in H1 2022 compared to 12.9% in H1 2021, attributable to the improved margin in National VI engine sales and increased sales mix in the off-road segment.

China Yuchai’s shares for the H1 2022 period reached US$0.40 per ordinary share.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
