How the Company Makes Money

Chongqing Rural Commercial Bank Co Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financial statements indicate solid fundamentals overall: a strong balance sheet (debt-to-equity improved to ~0.09 and stable ~9% ROE) and good cash conversion (FCF closely tracking net income). The main constraint is volatility in revenue and cash flows across years, which lowers confidence in the consistency of the growth profile.
Income Statement
62
Positive
Profitability is solid for a regional bank, with 2024 net margin around 22% and steady net income growth versus prior years. However, revenue has been volatile (sharp declines in 2022–2023 followed by a very large rebound in 2024), which reduces confidence in the underlying growth trajectory. Margins also appear inconsistent across years, suggesting earnings quality and comparability may fluctuate period to period.
Balance Sheet
78
Positive
The balance sheet shows improved leverage, with 2024 debt-to-equity dropping materially to ~0.09 versus much higher levels in prior years, while equity has grown and assets have continued to expand. Returns on equity have been stable around ~9% across the period, indicating consistent profitability on the capital base. The main watch-out is that leverage has historically been elevated and may move meaningfully year-to-year, which can change risk quickly in a banking model.
Cash Flow
68
Positive
Cash generation is generally strong: free cash flow has consistently tracked close to net income (roughly 96–99% across the years shown), supporting earnings quality. That said, cash flow is volatile, with a steep free cash flow decline in 2024 versus 2023 (and a negative growth rate), and operating cash flow also fell sharply year over year—signaling potential variability in working capital and funding flows typical for banks.
