China Yuchai International (NYSE:CYD) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $1.37 EPS

China Yuchai International (NYSE:CYD) issued its quarterly earnings results on Friday. The company reported $1.09 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing the consensus estimate of $2.46 by ($1.37), FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $1.08 billion during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $2.30 billion.

Here are the key takeaways from China Yuchai International’s conference call:

• First-half profitability grew strongly: revenue rose year over year, while gross profit increased 36.5% to RMB 2.5 billion, operating profit grew 58.9%, and profit attributable to shareholders increased 53.2% to RMB 560.6 million. Gross margin improved to 17.1%, supported by a favorable mix toward larger engines, higher volumes, improved efficiency, and lower warranty expenses.
• Engine demand remained robust, with total unit sales up 10.9% and truck engine sales up 20.4%; heavy-duty truck engine sales climbed 47.3%. Marine and power-generation demand was particularly strong, increasing 42% year over year.
• AI data-center engine sales are accelerating: Yuchai and its MTU joint venture sold approximately 1,800 units in the first half and expect roughly 3,500 or more for the full year. Combined high-horsepower engine capacity has increased to about 5,000 units through capacity expansion and outsourced machining, although management noted that pricing remains competitive and has not materially increased.
• The company is expanding its technology and growth initiatives, including ammonia-capable engines, a flywheel range-extender system for Hong Kong minibuses, the acquisition and consolidation of NYDK, and continued development of marine and genset operations. Fuel-cell power-generation applications are not expected to contribute in the short term, while gas engines for North America remain subject to certification.
• Financial flexibility improved, with cash and bank balances rising to RMB 8.1 billion and borrowings falling to RMB 1.4 billion at June 30. The company also paid a higher 2025 cash dividend of $0.87 per share, up from $0.53 for 2024.
