China Everbright Water Defends Credit Loss Allowance as Receivables Climb

China Everbright Water ( (SG:U9E) ) has shared an announcement.

China Everbright Water has issued responses ahead of its April 2026 annual general meeting in Singapore to address questions from shareholders and the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) about its financial disclosures. The company clarified that the HK$0.886 billion allowance on HK$7.337 billion of trade receivables reflects an expected credit loss rate of 12.1 percent under IFRS 9 based on historical patterns and risk groups, and stressed that this is an estimate rather than confirmed bad debts, noting there have been no write-offs in recent years.

Management also acknowledged investor concerns over the continued rise in trade receivables, which stood at HK$6.451 billion after impairment at the end of 2025, and highlighted that overdue payments constitute a significant risk exposure. While detailed 2026 recovery measures were referenced as disclosed elsewhere in its communications, the engagement signals ongoing scrutiny of collection efforts and credit risk management, with implications for the group’s cash flow, balance sheet quality, and stakeholder confidence.
