INTRODUCTION

As the global energy crisis and environmental problems intensify, new energy vehicles, as a clean, efficient and renewable means of transportation, have received more and more attention and support. However, new energy vehicle companies also face many risks and challenges in the development process. On the one hand, financial risks have an important

impact on the economic performance of enterprises. In today's increasingly complex and changing external and internal environment, the financial risks faced by enterprises may lead to the failure to achieve strategic goals and have a negative impact on profits. Therefore, financial risk management is a key element in the management process. On the other hand, new energy vehicle companies face difficulties such as high

risks and large financing needs. These companies must deal with the risks posed by changes in policy and market conditions, as well as the risks posed by introducing innovation into the production process [1], [2], [3]. In addition, it is more difficult for new entrants to gain consumer trust than traditional automakers. All these bring challenges to the risk management of new energy vehicle companies [ 2 ], [ 3 ].

In order to evaluate and manage the financial risks of new energy vehicle companies, this study conducted a literature review from two aspects: financial risk, risk management related theories and the current research status of new energy vehicle companies. First, it introduces the definition, types, and influencing factors of financial risks, as well as basic concepts and theories such as risk management objectives, methods, and international standards. Secondly, it analyzes the risks and challenges faced by new energy vehicle companies, as well as the research results and deficiencies of existing literature in terms of policy environment, technological innovation, business models, etc.

The main content of this study is to evaluate and manage Geely Auto's financial risks and propose corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. On the one hand, through a combination of financial indicator calculation and qualitative description, a comprehensive analysis of Geely Auto's financial risk situation was carried out, including multiple dimensions such as debt payment ability risk, operating ability risk, profitability risk and development ability risk, and the assessment improve the effectiveness of its financial risk management [4]. On the other hand, the internal risk management mechanism and efficiency improvement countermeasures were proposed, and the benefits were evaluated.

This study takes Geely Automobile as an example to study the financial risk assessment and management of new energy vehicle manufacturing companies, with a view to providing a basis for corporate risk management decisions.

The main method of this study is to use a combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis focuses on calculating and evaluating relevant financial indicators. This combination of quantitative and qualitative methods can make the research more three-dimensional and comprehensive [i], [2], [3], [4].

CONTENT

Geely Automobile is the case object of this study. Its development history and performance, as well as its new energy vehicle strategy, are closely related to the theme of this study. On the one hand, Geely

Automobile was founded in 1997 and has developed for more than 20 years. In recent years, Geely Automobile's sales and revenue have grown rapidly and it has become one of China's largest private automobile companies [5]. In 2022, Geely Automobile's operating revenue will reach 710.473 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 98.54% [ 5 ]. On the other hand, facing the opportunities of vehicle electrification and intelligent transformation, Geely Automobile is accelerating the strategic layout of new energy vehicles. On the one hand, Geely has reached strategic cooperation with domestic and foreign companies to jointly develop electric vehicles and intelligent connected vehicle technologies; on the other hand, Geely has also continuously enriched its new energy vehicle product line through independent research and development, mergers and acquisitions, and other methods.

GEELY FINANCIAL RISK ANALYSIS

Geely Automobile's risk management goal is to control the company's overall risk at an acceptable level by reducing the possibility of risk losses. To achieve this goal, Geely Automobile has established a systematic risk management system:

The risk management system is mainly based on relevant policies and procedures approved by the board of directors, such as risk and capital management strategies, risk management policies, etc.;

The company has a dedicated department responsible for coordinating risk management work, formulating methodologies, and carrying out targeted work to identify and minimize financial risks;

The main types of risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk. The occurrence of these risks will have a significant negative impact on the company's financial indicators such as asset-liability ratio, profitability indicators, etc.

Credit risk is mainly reduced through diversification, liquidity risk is mainly analyzed and evaluated by the Asset and Liability Management Committee, and market risk is mainly measured through the VaR method.

Debt Payability Risk Assessment

In order to assess Geely's debt payment ability risk, we analyzed Geely's liquidity from multiple dimensions (see Table 1):

1) The absolute current ratio is lower than the standard value of 20%, and was only 3.8% at the end of 2022, indicating that Geely can only rely on the most liquid assets to pay a small part of short-term liabilities, and its liquidity is poor;

2) Geely's current ratio (1.684) is also lower than the industry standard value of 2, indicating that there are problems with its short-term solvency;

3) The operating capital operating efficiency ratio dropped from 0.189 to 0.143, which reduced the utilization efficiency of working capital and increased the risk of default;

4) The asset-liability ratio is as high as 1.466 (see Table 5), which means excessive reliance on external financing, which affects solvency to a certain extent.

To sum up, Geely's solvency and liquidity are weak and it relies heavily on external financing, which increases its default risk and debt payment risk. BUSINESS CAPABILITY RISK ASSESSMENT We evaluated the growth rate of Geely's operating income, operating costs and net profit (see Table 2) and analyzed the trend of its operating capabilities. From the table we find that the main problems

are:

1) In 2022, Geely's operating cost growth rate (205.4%) is higher than the operating income growth rate (198.54%), and its cost control ability is relatively

weak;

2) The growth rate of net profit (116.66%) is lower than that of revenue and costs, the operating leverage effect has been weakened, and the growth rate of net profit has slowed down;

3) Sales expenses increased significantly (growth rate 246.7%, see Table 2), affecting profit growth;

4) The turnover rate of operating funds is low, which also limits operating capabilities.

The above factors indicate that Geely's cost control ability has declined, profit growth has slowed, operating leverage has weakened, and operating capabilities are at risk.

PROFITABILITY RISK ASSESSMENT

We calculated Geely's profitability-related indicators (see Table 3).

Through the table 3, we found that 1. Sales profit margin dropped sharply, from 15.9% to 9.76%, and there was a problem with profitability; 2. Return on total assets dropped from 78.76% to 36.09%, and asset usage efficiency dropped; 3. Net asset income

The rate dropped from 238.04% to 95.98%, and the owner's return on investment declined.

Generally speaking, Geely's profitability indicators are generally declining, indicating that the company's profitability and profitability are declining, and it faces profitability risks.

DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITY RISK ASSESSMENT

Geely Automobile's development capabilities face multiple constraints, and the company's long-term sustainable growth and ability to withstand the impact of industry transformation are weak.

First of all, from the perspective of asset structure, the amount of Geely's non-current assets has decreased significantly. The table in the article shows that its total non-current assets dropped from 24.4 million yuan at the beginning of the period to 13.76 million yuan at the end, a decrease of as much as 43.6% (see Table 4). This means that Geely's continued insufficient investment in technical equipment, research and development, etc. makes it difficult to achieve product and service innovation and continuously bring new value to customers. Compared with its competitors, Geely's long-term

development potential is relatively insufficient. Considering that the new energy vehicle industry is in a period of rapid evolution, this lack of technological investment will inevitably affect the company's ability to respond to industry changes and restrict its ability to complete strategic transformation and achieve long-term growth.

Secondly, from the perspective of owner's equity ratio, Geely's indicator is only 40.6% (see Table 4), which means that more than half of the company's asset sources rely on external debt financing. This results in Geely needing to bear a heavier burden of financial expenses, and also means that its endogenous growth momentum and ability to withstand market risks are weak. Considering that the prospects of the new energy vehicle market are still uncertain, over-reliance on external financing makes Geely face greater development risks. In addition, a low proportion of owners' equity also means that the company has limited space for profit retention and capital accumulation, which also restricts the endogenous development potential of the company.

Finally, judging from indicators such as current ratio, Geely's solvency and operating efficiency are weak. For example, its absolute current ratio is far lower than the industry standard of 20% (only 3.8%, see Table 1); its asset-liability ratio is also as high as 1.466 (see Table 5). This means that Geely needs to repay a large amount of debt and pay heavy interest expenses, which undoubtedly takes up funds that could have been used to reinvest, conduct research and development, and promote strategic development. It can be said that the funds needed for Geely's development are being lost through various channels, and the company's ability to control these "bleeding points" is also weak, which to a certain extent restricts its possibility of completing strategic transformation and achieving long-term growth.

To sum up, Geely Automobile faces constraints on its development capabilities in multiple dimensions such as asset structure, owner's equity, and debt solvency, which restricts its ability to withstand market risks and achieve strategic development, and therefore faces greater development risks. Enterprises must take effective measures as soon as possible to improve their comprehensive strength, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage in the fierce industry competition, and their market position and performance prospects will be seriously affected.

OPTIMIZATION SUGGESTIONS

In view of the various financial risks and development constraints Geely Automobile faces, the article proposes a project to build a digital industrial park for Geely Automobile in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. The total investment in the project is estimated to be US$628.9 million (see Figure 1), of which self-owned funds account for 25.3%, and bank long-term preferential loans and other borrowing financing account for 74.7% (see Table 6). The project benefit assessment shows that the digital industrial park project has a long investment payback period and there are certain difficulties in investment returns (see Table 7). However, considering the important strategic significance of digital transformation and collaboration to the automotive industry, the project can bring important indirect benefits to Geely Automobile such as improving operational efficiency and accelerating technological innovation. Therefore, it is necessary for Geely Automobile to promote the implementation of the project.

Specifically, the construction of the digital industrial park will greatly improve Geely Automobile's collaboration efficiency in key aspects such as sales management and technology research and development. In terms of sales management, the park will bring together Geely Auto's upstream

and downstream partners to eliminate information gaps and ensure that all parties can obtain accurate market and customer data, thereby improving the efficiency of strategic planning and decision-making. In addition, the digital industrial park will also bring benefits such as comprehensive data sharing and the establishment of online communities, which will help Geely Automobile cultivate and maintain customer stickiness. In terms of technology research and development, digitalization and network platforms will also accelerate Geely Automobile's exchange of new technologies and industry-university-research cooperation, and improve the efficiency of research and development innovation.

Overall, the investment benefits of digital industrial parks are long-term and strategic. While helping enterprises complete digital transformation, this project also provides Geely Automobile with a major opportunity to connect to the Internet and realize service model changes. Therefore, despite the long investment payback period, Geely Automobile still has sufficient business reasons to continue to promote the implementation of the digital industrial park, considering the far-reaching impact the project can bring.

CONCLUSIONS

Through the combined quantitative and qualitative financial risk assessment of Geely Automobile, this study identified the main risks faced by the company, including liquidity risk, operational risk, profitability risk and development risk. These risks reflect Geely Automobile's problems in business decision-making and risk management. Specifically, the company's over-reliance on external financing has increased debt pressure, profitability has declined, and its development momentum is insufficient. All these indicate that the company's ability to withstand market changes and achieve strategic goals is weak.

In light of this, this study puts forward relevant recommendations for improving the internal risk management mechanism and enhancing efficiency. By introducing scientific risk identification, assessment, and reporting processes and improving data collection and risk early warning mechanisms, Geely Automobile can ensure that important risks

receive sufficient attention and responses. In addition, by building a digital industrial park and integrating upstream and downstream resources across the industry chain, the company can leapfrog traditional production constraints and greatly improve synergies in automobile manufacturing, sales and services. Although the digital industrial park project has a longer investment payback period, it is of great strategic significance in expediting the company's digital transformation.

Overall, an effective risk management system and digital transformation strategy are two key drivers for Geely Automobile to achieve long-term sustainable growth. With sustained investment in both, Geely Automobile can make breakthroughs in both technological cooperation and business model innovation. This will not only ensure the company's profitability and competitiveness are enhanced, but also boost the confidence of capital markets and the public towards the future prospects of Geely Automobile, injecting strong momentum into its long-term strategic development.
