Kunlun Energy (135 HK): Kunlun Gas 3Q22 Masked by Non-Operating Factors
- 3Q22 result of Kunlun Gas is weaker than expected, but this is due to lower other income and surge in non-operating expenses. Without them, profit growth is actually more encouraging.
- While there is gross margin squeeze on higher input costs, Kunlun managed to reduce operating costs by 14.1%, successfully mitigated the negative impact.
- Kunlun Gas contributed 62.5% of 1H22 net profit of Kunlun Energy (135 HK). Its solid 36.2% 9M22 earnings growth still points to healthy underlying momentum for its parent.
