Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai
SHE: 000651 · Information cut-off 19 October 2026
Investor snapshot
Business model
Gree Electric Appliances reports consolidated revenue and profit attributable to listed-company shareholders, with separate group and parent-only cash disclosures.
Latest figures
In H1 2026 revenue, reported parent profit and issuer-defined recurring parent profit declined, while group cash equivalents were smaller than monetary funds.
Main risk
The central risk is that headline monetary funds overstate what is demonstrably usable for funding at the relevant entity.
Next proof
The next test is disclosure of deposit maturity and access terms, together with the principal-interest split and repayment date of borrowings within other payables.
Evidence balance
The live questionCan cash at the relevant legal entity meet funding needs when much of monetary funds is outside cash equivalents?H1 2026 brought lower revenue and both reported and recurring parent profit, making the distinction between monetary funds, cash equivalents and short-term borrowings relevant.
What improved
The cash disclosures identify group and parent-only balances separately and distinguish deposits excluded from cash equivalents from restricted deposits; this provides a clearer accounting perimeter without establishing that those balances are immediately usable.
What became more demanding
In CNY billion, group cash equivalents were 35.7 against short-term borrowings of 79.7; parent-only cash equivalents of 15.7 are a separate entity measure and must not be added to the group balance.
Strongest alternative explanation
Exclusion from cash equivalents does not itself establish permanent inaccessibility, and a comparison with short-term borrowings alone does not establish inability to pay; deposit terms and the timing of funding obligations remain necessary context.
The decisive missing fact
The named cash notes do not establish early deposit withdrawal or remittance rights, while the borrowing entry within other payables does not separate principal from interest or establish its repayment date.
Drawn from the evidence on this page: the improvement, the constraint, the benign reading and the fact that would settle it. It states no view on the shares.

Reported revenue and parent-attributable profit declined in the latest half-year. Cash-equivalent balances are substantially smaller than monetary funds; the two measures have different definitions.
Reported earnings
CNY billion; consolidated, with profits attributable to listed-company shareholders. Recurring profit uses the issuer's non-recurring exclusions.
| Measure | FY2024 | FY2025 | H1 2025 | H1 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 189.2 | 170.4 | 97.3 | 89.4 |
| Parent-attributable net profit | 32.2 | 29.0 | 14.4 | 13.3 |
| Issuer recurring parent-attributable profit | 30.1 | 27.7 | 13.9 | 12.7 |
Cash and borrowings
Balances at 2026-06-30. CNY billion unless stated; parent-only balances are shown separately.
| Measure | Amount |
|---|---|
| Group monetary funds | 128.2 |
| Group term deposits and accrued interest excluded from cash equivalents | 78.6 |
| Group restricted deposits | 14.0 |
| Group cash and cash equivalents | 35.7 |
| Parent-only monetary funds | 112.8 |
| Parent-only cash and cash equivalents | 15.7 |
| Group short-term borrowings | 79.7 |
| Borrowings and interest within group other payables | 1.57 |
| Rate disclosed for those interest-bearing other payables | 4.35% |
The borrowing-and-interest amount is already included within accounting other payables. It must not be added again to total accounting liabilities or treated as pure borrowing principal.
Limitation: the named cash notes do not establish early deposit withdrawal or remittance rights, and the borrowing entry does not separate principal from interest or establish its repayment date.

What matters after the operating picture
Four questions connect the business model to cash and balance-sheet risk. This is a factual reading aid, not a valuation or recommendation.
- Value lever
- Operating revenue and recurring attributable profit, read alongside cash usable at the relevant legal entity.
- Cash bottleneck
- Term deposits excluded from cash equivalents and restricted deposits complicate interpretation of headline monetary funds.
- Balance-sheet pressure
- Funding pressure depends on usable cash at the relevant entity, short-term borrowings and the terms of borrowing within other payables.
- Next proof
- Deposit maturity and access terms, plus a principal-interest split and repayment date for borrowing recorded within other payables.

What it points to. Broad domestic appliance retail activity helps frame consumer demand conditions, while Gree shipments depend on its company share, channels, inventory and product mix.
Direction only — this pack does not carry a coefficient from this series to reported earnings.
What it cannot tell you. This category includes household appliances and audio-video equipment, not air conditioners alone. It is national nominal retail value for units above designated size, not Gree volumes, realized pricing, shipments, exports, margins or cash generation. Raw adjacent-month levels can be seasonal; company market share and pricing remain unknown.
Settled by The next issuer disclosure of domestic revenue, margins, channel inventory and cash conversion. Lead time: Uncalibrated: consumer purchases and manufacturer shipments can occur in different periods.
