China Southern Airlines Company Limited Class H Corporate Events
China Southern Airlines has issued preliminary estimates indicating it expects to swing from a substantial loss in 2024 to a net profit attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB0.8 billion to RMB1.0 billion for the 2025 financial year, with net profit after excluding non-recurring items forecast at about RMB0.13 billion to RMB0.19 billion. The turnaround, from a 2024 net loss of RMB1.696 billion and an even larger adjusted loss, is attributed to proactive measures including tighter capacity allocation, optimized passenger and cargo network layout, and strengthened cost control, which have improved operating performance despite persistent industry headwinds such as supply chain tightness and rising input costs; the company cautions that the figures are preliminary and unaudited, and urges investors to consider associated risks.
