Jiutian Chemical profit surges over 30 times to $18.4m in Q1

This is much higher than the $587,563 (RMB2.87m) recorded in the same quarter last year.

Singapore-listed Jiutian Chemical Group Limited has announced its net profit increased by 3,047% to $18.48m (CNY90.31m) in the first quarter of the year, from only $587,563 (CNY2.87m) over the same period in 2020.

The company’s revenue rose by 120% to $89.92m (CNY439.25m) during the quarter from $40.81m (CNY199.38m), largely due to an increase in sales volume and average selling price of its main products, Dimethylformamide (DMF) and Methylamine.

The average selling prices of DMF and Methylamine were $1,912 (CNY9,344) per tonne and $1,898 (CNY 9,272) per tonne, respectively. This reflects a 98% and 38% year-n-year increases on each product.

Further, the sales volume of DMF climbed 65%, whilst Methylamine’s was up by 32%.

“The increase in sales volume and average product prices was mainly due to the continuing recovery of China’s economy from the depth of the COVID -19 crisis and surge in demand for our main products from downstream users, who in turn are experiencing strong growth in both local and export markets for their products,” the company said.

The capacity utilisation of Jiutian’s DMF plant increased from 56% to 69% year-on-year, whilst capacity utilisation rate of their methylamine plant increased from 89% to full capacity.

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.
