SINGAPORE, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD) ("China Yuchai" or the "Company"), one of the largest powertrain solution manufacturers through its main operating subsidiary in China, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited ("Yuchai"), announces today its unaudited consolidated financial results for the 2025 second half year ("2H 2025") and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 ("FY 2025"). The financial information presented herein for 2H 2025, FY 2025, the second half of 2024 ("2H 2024"), and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 ("FY 2024") are reported using the IFRS accounting standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Financial Highlights for 2H 2025
- Revenue increased by 33.5% to RMB 11.8 billion (US$ 1.7 billion), compared with RMB 8.8 billion in 2H 2024.
- Gross profit increased by 58.4% to RMB 2.2 billion (US$ 317.0 million), compared with RMB 1.4 billion in 2H 2024. Gross margin was 18.9% in 2H 2025, compared with 15.9% in 2H 2024.
- Operating profit grew by 193.1% to RMB 469.2 million (US$ 66.7 million), compared with RMB 160.1 million in 2H 2024.
- Profit for the period increased by 77.7% to RMB 275.7 million (US$ 39.2 million), compared with RMB 155.1 million in 2H 2024.
- Basic and diluted earnings per share rose by 108.7% to RMB 4.57 (US$ 0.65), compared with RMB 2.19 in 2H 2024.
- Total number of engines sold increased by 28.7% to 210,913 units, compared with 163,843 units in 2H 2024.
Revenue increased by 33.5% to RMB 11.8 billion (US$ 1.7 billion), compared with RMB 8.8 billion in 2H 2024.
The increase in the total number of engines sold in 2H 2025 was primarily driven by a 49.2% year-over-year ("YoY") rise in truck and bus engine unit sales, which significantly outpaced the 13.0% YoY growth in market sales of truck and bus vehicles (excluding gasoline- and electric-powered vehicles) as reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers ("CAAM"). Truck engine unit sales in 2H 2025 rose by 59.4%. Off-road engine unit sales increased by 7.5% YoY, led by strong growth of more than 22.0% in both industrial and marine and genset unit sales, offsetting lower agricultural engine unit sales.
Gross profit increased by 58.4% to RMB 2.2 billion (US$ 317.0 million), up from RMB 1.4 billion in 2H 2024. Gross margin increased to 18.9% in 2H 2025, compared with 15.9% in 2H 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher unit sales volume, a change of sales mix with higher unit sales of heavy-duty and high-horsepower ("HHP") engines, and continuing cost reduction initiatives.
Other operating income decreased by 44.1% to RMB 224.5 million (US$ 31.9 million), compared with RMB 401.5 million in 2H 2024. The decrease was mainly due to lower government grants.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by 48.0% to RMB 874.9 million (US$ 124.5 million), compared with RMB 591.1 million in 2H 2024, mainly driven by higher experimental costs, increased personnel expenses, higher mold costs, and impairments related to fuel cell development. Total R&D expenditure, including capitalized costs, was RMB 974.2 million (US$ 138.6 million), representing 8.3% of the revenue in 2H 2025, as compared with RMB 726.0 million, or 8.2% of the revenue in 2H 2024.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by 4.9% to RMB 1.1 billion (US$ 157.7 million) from RMB 1.0 billion in 2H 2024. This increase was mainly due to increased personnel expenses and higher consultancy fees, partially offset by lower accounts receivable provisions compared with the same period last year. SG&A expenses represented 9.4% of the revenue in 2H 2025, compared with 12.0% for 2H 2024.
Operating profit rose by 193.1% to RMB 469.2 million (US$ 66.7 million) from RMB 160.1 million in 2H 2024. Operating margin was 4.0%, compared with 1.8% in 2H 2024. The increase was generated by higher unit sales volume, a change of sales mix with higher unit sales of heavy-duty and HHP engines, and lower SG&A expense as percentage of the total revenue.
Finance costs decreased by 20.2% to RMB 29.6 million (US$ 4.2 million) from RMB 37.1 million in 2H 2024, primarily due to lower bank term loans and reduced bills discounting.
The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures decreased by 15.1% to RMB 49.7 million (US$ 7.1 million), compared with RMB 58.5 million in 2H 2024. The decrease was mainly due to reduced profits at Y&C Engine Co., Ltd.
Income tax expense was RMB 213.5 million (US$ 30.4 million), compared with RMB 26.4 million in 2H 2024. The tax increase was due to higher profits in 2H 2025 as compared with 2H 2024, and higher deferred tax expenses.
Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company increased by 107.4% to RMB 171.6 million (US$ 24.4 million), compared with RMB 82.7 million in 2H 2024.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB 4.57 (US$ 0.65), compared with RMB 2.19 in 2H 2024.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2H 2025 and 2H 2024 were based on the weighted average of 37,518,322 shares and 37,809,894 shares, respectively.

The increase was mainly due to higher unit sales volume, a change of sales mix with higher unit sales of heavy-duty and HHP engines, and continuing cost reduction initiatives.
Other operating income decreased by 22.5% to RMB 445.9 million (US$ 63.4 million), compared with RMB 575.7 million in FY 2024. This was primarily due to lower bank interest income and reduced government grants.
R&D expenses increased by 37.3% to RMB 1.4 billion (US$ 192.3 million), compared with RMB 984.7 million in FY 2024, primarily driven by higher experimental costs, increased personnel expenses, and impairments related to fuel cell development. Yuchai had continued with its initiatives to enhance the engine efficiency and performance of its National VI and Tier-4 emission standards compliant engines, and power generation engines for data centers and marine applications, while also advancing its new energy solutions. Total R&D expenditure, including capitalized costs, was RMB 1.5 billion (US$ 217.1 million), representing 6.2% of the revenue in FY 2025, compared with RMB 1.2 billion, or 6.2% of the revenue in FY 2024.
SG&A expenses increased by 14.3% to RMB 2.1 billion (US$ 294.7 million), representing 8.4% of the revenue in FY 2025, compared with RMB 1.8 billion, or 9.5% of the revenue in FY 2024. This was mainly due to higher personnel expenses and consultancy fees, as well as increased aftersales and service expenses that partially offset lower accounts receivable provisions.
Operating profit increased by 82.7% to RMB 1.1 billion (US$ 155.2 million), compared with RMB 597.0 million in FY 2024. The operating margin was 4.4%, up from 3.1% in FY 2024.
Finance costs decreased by 20.8% to RMB 61.8 million (US$ 8.8 million) from RMB 78.0 million in FY 2024, primarily due to lower bank term loans.
The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures increased by 9.4% to income of RMB 111.1 million (US$ 15.8 million), compared with income of RMB 101.5 million in FY 2024. The improvement was mainly driven by higher profits of 18.8% at MTU Yuchai Power Company Limited, and increased profits at Guangxi Purem Yuchai Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., partially offsetting lower profits at Y&C Engine Co., Ltd.
Income tax expense increased by 156.0% to RMB 329.7 million (US$ 46.9 million), compared with RMB 128.8 million in FY 2024. The tax increase was driven by higher profits in FY 2025 as compared with FY 2024, and higher deferred tax expenses.

"New demands for power and marine propulsion are accelerating the shift to more advanced engines. Surging AI and data–center workloads require stronger power–generation solutions.
