The total number of engines sold increased by 0.8% to 94,649 units compared with 93,881 units in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 25.4% to RMB 5.7 billion (US$ 814.6 million) from RMB 4.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018. The revenue increase was mainly due to a change in product mix.


According to data reported by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (“CAAM”), in the fourth quarter of 2019, sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) increased by 2.9%; truck sales increased by 2.0% with heavy-duty truck sales increased by 13.6%. GYMCL’s heavy-duty truck engine sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 49.8%. The CAAM bus market increased by 10.4% in the fourth quarter of 2019. GYMCL’s bus engine sales growth exceeded the market growth as sales of medium-duty bus engines grew significantly. GYMCL’s off-road engine sales rose in the fourth quarter of 2019, led by higher sales in the industrial engine market.

Gross profit increased by 28.5% to RMB 1.1 billion (US$ 158.8 million) compared with RMB 0.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018. Gross margin was 19.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared with 19.0% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The growth in the gross margin was mainly attributable to product mix, and was partially offset by higher production costs related to the National VI engines in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Other operating income was RMB 104.4 million (US$ 15.0 million) compared with RMB 64.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher interest income and government grants.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased by 111.7% to RMB 228.0 million (US$ 32.7 million) from RMB 107.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Higher R&D expenses were mainly due to the further development of a portfolio of next-generation National VI and Tier 4 engines as well as improvements in the engines’ quality and performance. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the total R&D expenditures, including capitalized development costs, were RMB 397.7 million (US$57.0 million) and it represented 7.0% of the revenue, compared with RMB 222.9 million, representing 4.9% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by 36.5% to RMB 663.2 million (US$ 95.1 million) from RMB 485.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. SG&A expenses represented 11.7% of revenue compared with 10.7% in the fourth quarter of 2018. The higher SG&A expenses were mainly attributed to higher warranty expenses and higher impairment losses on trade receivables in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Operating profit decreased by 3.6% to RMB 320.8 million (US$ 46.0 million) from RMB 332.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The operating margin was 5.6% compared with 7.3% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Finance costs decreased by 12.8% to RMB 27.1 million (US$ 3.9 million) from RMB 31.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 mainly due to lower interest rates on both bank borrowings and bills discounting.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, total net profit attributable to China Yuchai’s shareholders increased by 9.3% to RMB 209.6 million (US$ 30.0 million) from RMB 191.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
