Gulf Resources (NASDAQ: GURE), a Chinese manufacturer of bromine, reported significant challenges in its bromine segment for 2024, with a net loss of $8.2 million on revenues of $5.5 million. The segment was impacted by two main factors: depressed bromine prices averaging RMB 17,561 (down 27.1% from 2023 and 67.3% from 2022) and intentionally reduced sales volume (down 71.7% year-over-year).
The company's cost per tonne increased by 83.4% due to fixed costs being spread across lower production. However, recent market conditions show improvement, with bromine prices rising from RMB 21,900 in early 2025 to RMB 37,500 in April 2025, representing a 61.9% increase. The company expects profitability to return at current price levels and anticipates potential reopening of Factories #2 and #10.
Gulf Resources (NASDAQ: GURE) announced the acquisition of five salt fields totaling 5,141,000 square meters for RMB 280,762,400. The purchase terms include 80% cash payment and 20% in stock, with final stock terms under negotiation. The company expects these acquisitions to enhance crude salt production and enable additional bromine well drilling, with projected cash-on-cash returns within 4-5 years. Management views this as a strategic investment amid China's economic recovery, prioritizing it over chemical plant equipment delivery due to better anticipated returns.
Gulf Resources (GURE) provides a detailed analysis of its bromine segment economics. The company experienced significant price fluctuations, with bromine prices peaking at RMB 69,500 in October 2021 before declining to RMB 17,323 in Q3 2024, though recently recovering to RMB 22,400. Due to price declines, management strategically sales to protect mineral assets. Production volumes decreased substantially, with Q3 sales dropping from 2,655 tonnes in 2022 to 655.8 tonnes in 2024, causing utilization rates to fall from 34% to 8%. This led to higher per-tonne costs, rising from $2,773 to $5,709, as fixed costs were spread over fewer units.
Gulf Resources (NASDAQ: GURE) reported significant declines in its Q3 2024 financial results.
