On June 1, Sailun Tire (601058) released the implementation announcement for the 2025 annual equity distribution, stating that the company will distribute a cash dividend of 0.18 yuan per share to all shareholders (tax included), totaling nearly 592 million yuan in cash dividends. The record date for equity is June 4, and the cash dividend distribution date is June 5.
Behind this generous dividend distribution lies the strong financial confidence of this private tire giant, which rose to the first tier globally within just over 20 years of establishment. Facing the sharp increase in costs brought by the escalation of global trade barriers since 2025, Sailun still delivered a response with great resilience.
Revenue Hits Record High, Profitability Quality Continues to Improve
In 2025, Sailun Tire's annual revenue reached 36.792 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.69%, setting a new historical record. Although operating costs for tire products increased by 21.02% year-on-year, the company stabilized the gross profit margin at a relatively high level of 24.63% thanks to product structure and pricing advantages.
Net profit attributable to the parent company and net profit after deducting non-recurring gains and losses for the year reached 3.522 billion yuan and 3.458 billion yuan respectively, with both profitability indicators reaching their second-historical levels. More noteworthy is that the company's net operating cash flow reached 4.179 billion yuan, a year-on-year surge of 82.58%, indicating substantive improvement in profitability quality.
Liquid Gold Breakthrough, ESG Rating Jumps to AA Level
The support for resilient performance stems from hardcore technical barriers. The 'Liquid Gold' technology (Ecopoint3) developed by Sailun after a decade of in-depth research adopts a world-first chemical rubber vulcanization method, successfully breaking through the 'Devil's Triangle' problem in the tire industry where rolling resistance, wet traction, and wear resistance could not be improved simultaneously. It not only achieves a balance of energy saving, safety, and wear resistance, but also achieves green low-carbon across the entire lifecycle from raw materials to production and usage.
This persistence in green sustainability has also won Sailun recognition from international capital markets. Recently, the international authoritative index institution MSCI upgraded Sailun's ESG rating from A to AA, solidifying its top position in China's tire industry and placing it among the global forefront. This marks that Sailun's sustainable development strength in global operations, R&D innovation, and supply chain management has received high international recognition.
Capacity Expansion Both Domestic and Overseas, Brand Value Rising Yearly
Going against the current, stagnation means retreat. While consolidating the technological moat, Sailun has pressed the accelerator on global capacity expansion. Since establishing China's first overseas tire production base in Vietnam in 2012, Sailun has continued to increase investment since 2026: in April, it announced an investment of about 1.95 billion yuan to build an expansion project for a 7.05 million radial tire annual production capacity in Egypt; meanwhile, the Indonesia factory also received a capital increase of about 336 million yuan to expand PCR and TBR capacity.
The resonance between capacity and performance boosted the rapid rise in brand value. In the 2025 'China 500 Most Valuable Brands', Sailun ranked 105th with a brand value of 112.896 billion yuan, an increase of 12.3 billion yuan compared to last year; in Brand Finance's Top 25 Global Tire Brand Values, Sailun ranked in the top ten for the first time, continuing to be the most valuable tire brand in China.
From a new enterprise on the Shandong Peninsula to a global giant competing with century-old foreign strong enterprises, Sailun, driven by technology and capacity on two wheels, is accelerating towards a new height in the global tire industry.
