It achieved revenues of more than 2.1 billion yuan and a total profit of more than 340 million yuan, turning loss into profits within one year after reorganization; its total assets was about 26.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%. In less than a year, the company completed the optimization of its governance structure.

The successful issuance of the convertible bonds suggests that the business development capabilities of Beijing Energy International have regained the recognition of the Hong Kong and international capital markets. It also boosts confidence in the company’s high-quality and rapid development amid the background of striving towards the goal of “emission peak and carbon neutrality”.
