Staff Reporter Liu Zhao

On the evening of February 23, Qingdao Richen Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Richen Co.”) released its 2025 performance quick report, showing that the company’s annual operating performance achieved a leapfrog growth, with both revenue and profit indicators hitting impressive results.

Data shows that in 2025, Richen Co. demonstrated multiple positive trends in its operations, with all key financial indicators improving across the board. The total operating revenue reached 468 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.70%, with revenue steadily expanding; profitability also saw significant improvement, with operating profit reaching 96.75 million yuan and total profit 96.48 million yuan, representing year-on-year increases of 26.22% and 26.16%, respectively; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 84.21 million yuan, up 31.87% year-on-year; net profit after deducting non-recurring gains and losses was 83.75 million yuan, a growth of 51.26% year-on-year, indicating a notable enhancement in profit quality; basic earnings per share were 0.8664 yuan, up 32.50% year-on-year; the weighted average return on net assets increased to 11.30%, an increase of 2.30 percentage points compared to the previous year, continuously strengthening shareholder returns.

A relevant person from Richen Co. told Securities Daily that the company’s performance growth was mainly driven by market expansion and new product development boosting sales scale, while measures such as cost reduction and efficiency improvement, supply chain optimization, and refined management effectively enhanced operational efficiency and profitability quality. The high growth in net profit excluding non-recurring gains and losses was also influenced by the lower base last year due to the cancellation of the equity incentive plan.

Based on steady growth in its main business, Richen Co. actively explores diversified development paths, precisely positioning itself in the AI big data field. According to a previous announcement, the company plans to acquire a 10.89% stake in Beijing Dongfang Jinxin Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dongfang Jinxin”) for 166 million yuan, and to invest an additional 100 million yuan to increase its capital, totaling 266 million yuan to acquire a 13.12% stake in the target company.

As a leading enterprise in China’s big data infrastructure software field, Dongfang Jinxin has been deeply engaged in the industry for over ten years. The company has built a full-stack product system called “AI-Seabox” around the data lifecycle, covering multi-modal data intelligent infrastructure, core AI engines, and enterprise intelligent agents, serving over 2,000 clients. Financial data shows that in the first nine months of 2025, the company achieved a net profit of 11.54 million yuan, successfully turning around from a slight loss in 2024, with continuous improvement in operational conditions.

It is worth noting that if Dongfang Jinxin fails to achieve qualified listing before December 31, 2027, or if there are circumstances such as actual control rights changes or major defaults, Richen Co. has the right to require its actual controller to repurchase the equity.

The relevant person from Richen Co. further stated that after completing this transaction, the company might face certain short-term funding pressures, but this investment is a prudent decision based on strategic and financial considerations. After the transaction is completed, the company will track the development of the target company through regular financial reports and exercising shareholder rights, exploring financial investment returns without affecting its main business.

Xing Xing, director of the Research Institute at Beijing Boxin Securities Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., told Securities Daily that Richen Co. achieved high-quality growth in its food main business in 2025, while also entering the high-growth AI big data track through strategic investments, opening new value growth space for the company’s long-term development. The future development model of steady main business growth combined with investment-driven synergy is worth looking forward to.
