Summary of the Conference Call for Bohui Paper Industry Company Overview - Bohui Paper Industry is a leading player in the white cardboard sector with 30 years of industry experience. The company operates two major production bases in Shandong and Jiangsu, with the Jiangsu base having a capacity of 2 million tons of white cardboard, contributing 80%-90% of the company's profits due to its scale, high matching rate, and logistical advantages from proximity to ports [4][5]. Industry Insights - The paper industry is currently facing overcapacity, with new capacity expected to nearly double in 2024-2025, leading to a decline in operating rates to 50%-60%. Despite stable demand growth, the imbalance between supply and demand has caused a drop in white cardboard prices [2][6]. - The "paper replaces plastic" policy is expected to support long-term growth in white cardboard, with a forecasted reduction in new capacity by 2026, alongside a recovery in domestic demand and strong export performance [2][7]. Price Trends and Influencing Factors - Since September 2025, white cardboard prices have been increasing due to rising raw material costs, with price recoveries of 370 CNY/ton in South China and 230 CNY/ton in East China. Factors such as production halts in Zhanjiang and increased seasonal demand have also supported price recovery [2][8]. Operational Efficiency and Financial Health - Bohui has shown significant improvements in operational efficiency and cash flow quality. The company plans to integrate resources in 2026 to address industry competition, which is expected to benefit its development. Continuous price increases are anticipated to enhance profit elasticity [2][9]. - The company has maintained a stable debt-to-asset ratio of around 70%, with cash flow sufficient to cover interest expenses [11].

Impact of APP's Acquisition - Following the acquisition by APP, Bohui has seen a notable decrease in per-ton financial, management, and sales expenses, leading to significant operational improvements. The integration has also enhanced employee motivation and expanded the R&D and sales teams [11][13]. Product Development and Innovation - Bohui has made significant strides in R&D, including breakthroughs in core technologies for sterile liquid packaging and digital empowerment of production operations, which have improved production efficiency and yield rates [3][14].
