Core Profitability Metrics Interpretation

Operating Revenue Grows Steadily, Gold Business Becomes Main Growth Driver

In 2025, the company achieved operating revenue of 3.147 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.73%. By business segment, revenue from gold mining and selection reached 508 million yuan, a significant year-on-year increase of 52.07%, becoming the core driving force behind revenue growth, mainly benefiting from the unilateral rise in gold prices in 2025; combined revenue from electronic copper foil and copper-clad laminate reached 2.589 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.13%, with copper foil revenue at 518 million yuan, up 16.92% year-on-year, and copper-clad laminate revenue at 2.071 billion yuan, a slight year-on-year increase of 1.61%, indicating that the electronic business remains stable overall but with differentiated growth rates.

Net Profit Attributable to Shareholders Halved Year-on-Year, Non-recurring Net Profit Turned Profit with Significant Growth

In 2025, the company’s net profit attributable to shareholders was 124 million yuan, a sharp year-on-year decline of 49.83%, mainly influenced by two factors: first, receiving a performance compensation of 270 million yuan in the same period last year, with no similar non-recurring income this period; second, the electronic copper foil and copper-clad laminate business incurred losses, with a consolidated net loss attributable to shareholders of 31.439 million yuan. However, the non-recurring net profit turned profit, reaching 125 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 593.32%, mainly due to the significant improvement in profitability from gold mining and selection business, while the losses in the electronic business narrowed compared to the same period last year.

Earnings Per Share Declined Alongside Net Profit

Basic earnings per share were 0.31 yuan/share, a year-on-year decrease of 47.46%; non-recurring earnings per share were 0.32 yuan/share, reversing from -0.06 yuan/share in the same period last year, consistent with the significant improvement in non-recurring net profit.

Expense Analysis

Overall Increase in Period Expenses, Significant Growth in Financial Expenses

In 2025, the company’s total period expenses amounted to 323 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.82%, detailed as follows:

R&D Investment and Personnel Situation

Continuous Increase in R&D Investment, Focus on High-end Products

In 2025, the company’s R&D investment was 97.4788 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.42%, accounting for 3.10% of operating revenue. Key projects include the development of high-strength, low-profile reverse copper foil for high-speed communication, high tensile strength copper foil, and PTFE-based high-frequency copper foil, several of which have completed R&D or entered batch trial production stages, laying a foundation for the company’s product structure upgrade towards high-end.

Slight Decrease in R&D Personnel, Structural Optimization

In 2025, the company had 216 R&D personnel, a year-on-year decrease of 5.68%, accounting for 10.06% of total employees. In terms of educational structure, the proportion of R&D personnel with a bachelor’s degree or higher was 37.96%, a slight year-on-year decrease, mainly due to a 17.98% reduction in R&D personnel; in terms of age structure, R&D personnel aged 30-40 increased by 28.77% year-on-year, becoming the core strength of the R&D team, while those over 40 accounted for 47.22%, indicating that the R&D team overall is experienced.

Cash Flow Situation

Operating Cash Flow Turns Positive, Quality Significantly Improves

In 2025, the net cash flow from operating activities was 182 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 332.30%, achieving a turnaround from negative to positive. This was mainly due to a significant increase in cash received from sales, with cash inflow from operating activities increasing by 30.56% year-on-year, while cash outflow from operating activities only increased by 17.13%, improving cash collection quality alongside revenue growth.

Investment Cash Flow Turns Negative, Asset Disposal Income Decreases

The net cash flow from investment activities was -62.8751 million yuan, compared to 140 million yuan in the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 144.93%. The main reason was that last year’s disposal of Baoding Heavy Industry and scrap metal brought in substantial proceeds, while there were no similar large asset disposals this period, alongside a 68.70% decrease in cash paid for the purchase and construction of fixed assets and intangible assets, indicating a contraction in investment scale.

Financing Cash Flow Net Outflow Expands, Debt Repayment Pressure Increases

The net cash flow from financing activities was -135 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 32.08%. This period, the company obtained loans of 1.734 billion yuan and repaid debts of 1.721 billion yuan, keeping the overall financing scale roughly the same as last year, but debt repayment expenditures slightly increased, along with dividend payments and other expenses, leading to an expansion in net outflow of financing cash flow.

Risk Factor Reminder

Electronic Business Faces Multiple Pressures

The electronic copper foil and copper-clad laminate business face risks from macroeconomic fluctuations; if demand from downstream consumer electronics and automotive electronics weakens, it will directly affect product sales; intensified market competition, with mid-to-high-end products still relying on imports, presents uncertainties in the domestic substitution process; raw material price volatility risks, with fluctuations in prices of raw materials such as electrolytic copper directly affecting production costs; at the same time, changes in the international trade environment may bring risks to export business.

Gold Business Relies on Single Mine, Price Fluctuation Impact is Significant

The gold mining and selection business relies on a single mine, the Hexi Gold Mine; if there are issues such as safety production or resource depletion, it will have a significant impact on the business; gold prices are influenced by global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, and a significant drop in prices will directly compress profit margins; additionally, the limited resource reserves of the mine pose long-term growth pressures.

Executive Compensation Situation

In 2025, the company’s chairman Zhang Xufeng received a pre-tax total compensation of 900,000 yuan, general manager Zhu Baosong received a pre-tax total compensation of 900,000 yuan, deputy general managers Chen Xulun, Qian Shaolun, and Zhao Xiaobing each received a pre-tax total compensation of 500,000 yuan, and financial director Cong Shouyan received a pre-tax total compensation of 500,000 yuan. Compensation levels are linked to the company’s annual performance and are in line with industry and regional compensation levels.
