Yangzijiang Financial H1 profit from continuing ops falls to $38.3m
Overall earnings fell 72% during the period.
Yangzijiang Financial Holding’s net profit from continuing operations declined 29% to $38.3m in the first half (H1), from $53.9m a year earlier.
Overall net profit attributable to shareholders fell 72% from $137.7m in H1 2025, when the results still included the group’s maritime investments business, which was subsequently spun off and separately listed as Yangzijiang Maritime Development in November 2025.
The maritime business contributed $89.6m in profit in H1 2025 and has since been classified as a discontinued operation.
Total income from continuing operations decreased 31% to $35.5m from $51.5m, mainly due to lower interest income.
Interest income fell 40% to $31.2m from $52.2m as the average balance of debt investments in China declined amid continued capital recovery from the group’s legacy portfolio.
The decline was partly offset by a $2.7m net fair-value gain on financial assets and liabilities, compared with a $1.4m loss a year earlier.
Profit before tax from continuing operations declined 33% to $50.4m from $74.8m, whilst income tax expenses fell 42% to $12.1m.
