In the past six months, there have been rumors of “giant losses” of Gree’s heavy holdings in Hillhouse, and there are even rumors that “Hillhouse’s losses have exceeded 10 billion.” However, this article finds that, based on the inertia of Gree’s high dividends, the real loss of this investment in Hillhouse may be far less exaggerated than outside estimates.

Going back to December 2, 2019, the share transfer of Gree Electric Appliances, which has attracted much attention from the outside world, finally came to an end.

Gree Electric issued an announcement stating that as the transferor and transferee of this equity transfer, Gree Group and Zhuhai Mingjun Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (hereinafter referred to as “Zhuhai Mingjun”) officially signed the “Zhuhai Gree Group Co., Ltd.” Share transfer agreement with Zhuhai Mingjun Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) regarding 15% shares of Zhuhai Gree Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. Zhuhai Mingjun will take over a 15% stake in Gree Electric Appliances, which was sold by Gree Group. Gree Electric Appliances, a global home appliance giant, announced its change of ownership. Hillhouse behind Zhuhai Mingjun has also further strengthened its investment in Gree.

There is a bright spot in this announcement that deserves attention: Zhuhai Mingjun will actively exercise the voting rights of shareholders, and try its best to make Gree’s annual net profit dividend ratio not less than 50%.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of Hillhouse’s entry into Gree, it is already “traceable” that it will receive long-term high dividends in the future.

Regarding the so-called “Hillhouse Investment Gree’s huge loss” rumors, incomplete facts can only become a burning point of blind “carnival”, and the truth still needs to return to the objective data on the long-term time axis to judge.

On July 29, 2022, Gree announced the 2021 annual dividend implementation plan. Based on 5.537 billion shares, it will distribute a cash dividend of 20 yuan (including tax, after tax) to all shareholders for every 10 shares. 11.073 billion yuan.

On the surface, Hillhouse purchased 902 million shares of Gree, and as of the close on July 22, the floating loss was 11 billion, which also caused a lot of rumors. In fact, in the 2021 annual dividend that will be implemented this time and the first four dividends implemented by Gree in 2019-2021, Hillhouse will receive a total of 7.4 billion, which is equivalent to the loss of Hillhouse’s stock price through dividends. Partially warmed up. Subtracting the floating loss amount from the stock price and the dividend income, the real net loss of Hillhouse was only 3.6 billion, a drawdown of 8.6%.

As a result, the rumors that “Hillhouse invested in Gree and lost tens of billions of dollars” are not self-defeating.
