(Central News Agency reporter Liao Wen-chi, Shanghai, 13th) Vanke, the struggling Chinese real estate giant, has received another RMB 2.5 billion (approximately NT$11.6 billion) infusion from its largest shareholder, Shenzhen Metro Group. Previously, Shenzhen Metro had already provided Vanke with RMB 22 billion (approximately NT$102 billion) in loans.
According to mainland media Jiemian News, Vanke announced on the evening of the 12th that it had signed a relevant framework agreement with its largest shareholder, Shenzhen Metro Group Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Metro Group), under which Shenzhen Metro Group will provide Vanke with a loan facility not exceeding RMB 2.5 billion between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026.
The announcement stated that as of now, the actual amount borrowed under this loan facility is RMB 2.359 billion. Vanke indicated that this loan will be used to repay the principal and interest of bonds issued by the company in the open market, as well as specified loan interest approved by the lender.
Shenzhen Metro Group has injected capital into Vanke multiple times. Vanke's same-day announcement also mentioned that from 2025 until the company's 2025 annual shareholders' meeting, Shenzhen Metro Group will provide the company with a loan facility not exceeding RMB 22 billion. Vanke stated that in the agreement signed with Shenzhen Metro on the 12th, supplementary provisions were made regarding the guarantee methods and collateral under the original RMB 22 billion shareholder loan.
According to the report, Shenzhen Metro Group currently holds 27.18% of Vanke's shares, making it Vanke's largest shareholder. Shenzhen Metro Group is a state-owned sole proprietorship enterprise directly managed by the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, responsible for over 90% of urban rail transit construction and operation in Shenzhen.
The report also mentioned that from an operational perspective, Vanke's current situation is not optimistic. In the full year of 2025, Vanke achieved operating revenue of RMB 233.43 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 32.0%; net profit attributable to the parent company was approximately negative RMB 88.56 billion, with losses expanding by nearly 80% compared to the same period in 2024.
Last year, Vanke's contracted sales amounted to RMB 134.06 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 45.5%, and net profit attributable to the parent company was a loss of RMB 5.952 billion. Its main real estate development business revenue decreased by 36.7% year-on-year to RMB 190.65 billion, contributing 81.7% of total revenue and being the main reason for the decline in revenue.
In the first quarter of this year, Vanke achieved revenue of RMB 28.928 billion, a decrease of 23.86% compared to the same period last year. Among them, the real estate development main business continued to be under pressure, with revenue of only RMB 14.57 billion, a decrease of 36.1% compared to the same period last year; contracted sales amounted to only RMB 16.77 billion, a decrease of 53.8% compared to the same period last year. Vanke is recovering funds by selling its assets. (Edited by Lu Chia-jung) 1150513
