Company

Company overview

High Templar Tech Limited is winding down Fast Horse, the parcel-delivery business that still accounts for most of its operating revenue. International delivery companies pay it to take packages shipped from China from warehouses to recipients in Australia and New Zealand. It selects and directs drivers, charges customers for each completed delivery and pays the drivers.

The company is developing aircraft leasing, but this business remains small. It leases an aircraft to a third party, while another aircraft serves its own overseas business travel. Its former Chinese consumer-lending business has ended, and it is exploring new business opportunities rather than operating an established replacement for delivery.

Interest and investment income are its main source of earnings, alongside gains on derivatives tied to equity securities. Its earnings therefore depend heavily on investments, while the development of new operating businesses remains uncertain. As a Cayman Islands holding company, it also faces Chinese restrictions on transferring cash from its Chinese operations offshore, which can limit funds available for overseas expansion.
