Key Profitability Indicators Analysis

Operating Revenue

In 2025, the company achieved an operating revenue of 29.581 billion yuan, an 11.21% increase year-over-year. This growth was mainly driven by increased orders from high-quality domestic and international customers, deeper Tier 0.5 cooperation models, higher per-vehicle supporting amounts, and the gradual release of overseas base capacity, expanding international market share. By product, automotive electronics revenue grew rapidly by 52.11%, reaching 2.769 billion yuan, becoming a new growth engine; shock absorption systems and thermal management systems saw slight declines, with revenues of 4.256 billion yuan and 2.091 billion yuan respectively, warranting attention to market demand changes and competitiveness in these areas.

Net Profit and Non-Recurring Net Profit

Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 2.779 billion yuan, down 7.38% year-over-year; non-recurring net profit was 2.611 billion yuan, down 4.30%. The profit decline was mainly due to fluctuations in raw material prices, high initial costs of new factories, and increased R&D investments. However, the smaller decline in non-recurring net profit indicates the company’s core business profitability remains resilient, with non-operating gains and losses having a noticeable impact on net profit.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS was 1.61 yuan/share, down 10.06% year-over-year; non-recurring EPS was 1.51 yuan/share, down 6.79%. The decline in EPS is related to the decrease in net profit and the dilution effect caused by the conversion of convertible bonds. In 2025, the company issued 51.8099 million new shares due to the conversion of “Topu Convertible Bonds,” increasing total share capital to 1.738 billion shares, which diluted EPS.

Cost Structure Analysis

Overall Expense Situation

Total expenses for 2025 amounted to 2.65 billion yuan, a 12.68% increase, lower than revenue growth, indicating initial effectiveness in cost control. However, increases and decreases across expense categories are quite distinct.

Expense Item 2025 (billion yuan) 2024 (billion yuan) YoY Change (%) Reasons for Change
Selling Expenses 2.77 2.74 0.96 Increased sales personnel salaries and entertainment expenses
Management Expenses 7.68 6.21 23.75 More management staff and higher salaries, increased depreciation and amortization from new factories and equipment
Financial Expenses 1.09 1.66 -34.18 Reduced interest expenses on loans
R&D Expenses 14.96 12.24 22.20 Continued increased investment in innovation

Detailed Expense Analysis

  • Selling Expenses: Modest growth mainly due to expanded market development and customer relationship efforts, with efficiency improving as growth rate remains below revenue increase.
  • Management Expenses: Significantly increased due to business expansion, management team growth, higher salaries, and depreciation from new factories and equipment, reflecting phase-wise cost pressures during scale-up.
  • Financial Expenses: Significantly decreased owing to optimized debt structure and lower financing costs, as well as reduced exchange losses from currency fluctuations, indicating improved financial health.
  • R&D Expenses: Maintained rapid growth, totaling 1.496 billion yuan, accounting for 5.06% of revenue. R&D achievements in air suspension, electronic control braking, and smart cabins are gradually being implemented, laying a foundation for long-term competitiveness, though short-term profitability is somewhat suppressed.

R&D Personnel

The company has 4,466 R&D staff, accounting for 17.10% of total employees. Among them, 7 are PhDs, 285 hold master’s degrees, and 2,065 have bachelor’s degrees. The team is highly educated and relatively young (1,605 under 30 years old, 1,892 between 30-40), providing strong talent support for ongoing innovation.

Cash Flow Deep Dive

Overall Cash Flow

In 2025, net increase in cash and cash equivalents was 755 million yuan, a significant decrease compared to previous years, mainly due to increased investment spending and a shift from net inflow to net outflow in financing activities.

Cash Flow Item 2025 (billion yuan) 2024 (billion yuan) YoY Change (%) Reasons for Change
Operating Cash Flow 44.82 32.36 38.50 Increased cash receipts from sales
Investing Cash Flow -30.15 -37.28 19.12 Reduced purchases of structured deposits
Financing Cash Flow -9.19 21.87 -142.04 No large-scale equity financing; debt repayment and dividends increased

Analysis of Cash Flow Components

  • Operating Cash Flow: Strong performance with net inflow of 4.482 billion yuan, up 38.50%, far exceeding revenue growth, indicating improved receivables collection, high profitability quality, and robust cash flow resilience.
  • Investing Cash Flow: Narrowed net outflow mainly due to reduced structured deposit purchases; however, spending on fixed assets and intangible assets remained high at 3.497 billion yuan, reflecting ongoing capacity expansion and globalization efforts. Future growth potential is promising, but short-term cash flow is impacted.
  • Financing Cash Flow: Shifted from large net inflow last year to net outflow, mainly because 2024 saw a capital raise of 3.498 billion yuan, while 2025 involved no large-scale equity financing, with debt repayment and dividend payouts totaling about 2 billion yuan. The company’s self-sufficiency has improved, reducing reliance on external financing.

Risk Warnings

  1. Market Competition Risk: The automotive parts industry is highly competitive. Failure to maintain technological leadership and cost advantages could lead to market share loss and profit decline.
  2. Raw Material Price Fluctuation Risk: Significant increases in steel, rubber, plastics, and other raw material prices could raise production costs and squeeze profit margins.
  3. Overseas Business Risk: Accelerated overseas expansion faces geopolitical, exchange rate, and local policy risks, potentially affecting stable operations and profitability abroad.
  4. New Project Production Risk: New factories and R&D projects may not reach full capacity as expected, leading to difficulties in recouping investments and impacting performance.
