Guoke Military Industry's 466 million yuan military trade order expected to be delivered within 2026
Guoke Military Industry's management responded on September 17 at the 2026 semi-annual results briefing to market concerns about the delivery progress of the 466 million yuan military trade order and the shift of operating cash flow from positive to negative. Vice Chairman and General Manager Huang Junhua said that the wholly-owned subsidiary Aerospace Jingwei signed a contract last October for 466 million yuan of military trade product engine charge, with a performance period until December 25, 2026. As of the end of 2025, revenue of 32 million yuan had been recognized, and the remaining 434 million yuan is being organized for production, testing, and delivery acceptance in batches, with delivery planned to be completed within 2026. However, the order's implementation is subject to uncertainty from factors such as the international geopolitical environment, overseas demand, procedural compliance approvals, and business negotiation cycles. In the first half of this year, the company's ammunition and equipment segment was under pressure. Net profit of subsidiaries Xianfeng Company and Jiujiang Guoke fell 98% year-on-year and turned from profit to loss respectively. Huang Junhua said this was mainly due to delayed signing of order contracts, with multiple intelligent and new-type ammunition and fuzes still in the research, trial production, and appraisal stage, and that the performance pressure was a phased fluctuation. Net operating cash flow turned from positive to negative year-on-year, mainly because delayed contract signing postponed the disbursement of commencement payments. There has been no trend-based adjustment in the military prepayment model. Contract liabilities surged 232% from the beginning of the period, and inventory growth was due to production and stockpiling organized according to orders in hand. The power expansion project has fully commenced. Once completed, it will expand solid power charge and power module production capacity, taking into account military products, military trade, and commercial aerospace supporting demand. In terms of performance, the company achieved operating revenue of 384 million yuan in the first half of 2026, down 8.02% year-on-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of 59.0569 million yuan, down 23.41% year-on-year.
