长城汽车预计2018年上半年营业总收入约为人民币486.78亿元，较上年同比增加17.99%；净利润约为人民币37亿元，同比增加52.35%；归属于上市公司股东的净利润约为人民币36.80亿元，同比增加52.07%。长城汽车业绩预增主要原因是公司优化产品结构及WEY品牌产品销售占比提升。今年前6个月长城汽车共计售出新车47.15万辆，同比增长2.34%，已完成2018年116万年销量目标的40.65%。今年上半年，长城汽车SUV累计销量达402,956辆，同比增长1.32%。其中，哈弗品牌销量持续下降，前6个月累计销售325,309辆，较去年同期减少17.55%。长城SUV销量下滑主要是由于核心的哈弗品牌销量下降，另外高端品牌WEY的销量也略有下降。虽然长城汽车今年上半年销量下降，但WEY品牌全年25万辆的销售目标不变。哈佛品牌今年将推出了F5和F7等新车型，将有助于提升品牌销量。

 

Great Wall Motor predicts to gain 52% net profit surge to RMB 3.7 billion in H1

Great Wall Motor (GWM) is expected to gain revenue of RMB 48.678 billion in the first half of 2018, jumping 17.99% from a year ago. Its net profit will reach RMB 3.7 billion, soaring 52.35% over the previous year. Moreover, the automaker's net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company is expected to reach RMB 3.68 billion, surging 52.07% on an annual basis.

 

GWM attributed the expected revenue growth to the optimization of product structure and the market shares improvement of WEY's sales.

 

It is known that GWM delivered 471,500 vehicles in the first half of 2018 with a year-on-year increase of 2.34%, completing 40.65% of its 2018 sales target of 1.16 million units.

 

During the first half of 2018, GWM delivered 402,956 SUVs, edging up 1.32% compared with the same period last year. To be specific, the Haval brand suffered continuous decline during the first half of this year. It handed over 325,309 units during the first six months with a year-on-year slide of 17.55%. The sales skid of GWM's SUVs mainly resulted from the substantial sales drop of Haval brand as well as a slight sales drop of its high-end brand WEY.

 

Although GWM suffered sluggish sales in the first half of 2018, WEY's 2018 sales target will still remain at 250,000 units. Haval brand will launch new models, like the F5 and F7, which will help boost sales of the brand.
