Profitability Indicators: Revenue Growth Not Fully Translated to Net Profit, Profit Pressure

Net Profit and Net Profit Excluding Non-Recurring Gains and Losses

In 2025, net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 103.9801 million yuan, down 23.18% year-on-year; net profit excluding non-recurring gains and losses was 90.8014 million yuan, down 21.39%. Despite revenue growth, net profit declined mainly due to higher costs in some business areas exceeding revenue increases, as well as the combined impact of changes in period expenses.

Earnings Per Share

In 2025, basic earnings per share were 0.25 yuan/share, down 21.88% year-on-year; non-recurring EPS was 0.22 yuan/share, down 21.39%. The decline in EPS is directly related to the contraction of net profit, leading to a decrease in shareholder earnings per share.

Period Expenses: Clear Structural Differentiation and Significant Changes in Financial Expenses

In 2025, total period expenses amounted to 1,920.9603 million yuan, an increase of 5.02%, with specific expense items as follows:

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses increased by 19.67%, mainly due to intensified market expansion efforts, increased investments in sales team building and marketing to support business development and customer acquisition.

Management Expenses

Management expenses decreased by 8.71%, reflecting optimized internal management processes and improved management efficiency, demonstrating the effectiveness of refined management.

Financial Expenses

Financial expenses increased significantly by 56.79%, from -13.8908 million yuan last year to -6.0020 million yuan this year, mainly due to decreased interest income from deposits and increased exchange losses, which weakened the positive contribution of financial expenses to profit.

R&D Expenses

R&D expenses remained basically stable, with only a 0.23% decrease, indicating ongoing emphasis on technological R&D to maintain technological competitiveness in core products like adhesives and resins.

R&D Investment and Personnel: Steady Team Expansion and Rich R&D Achievements

R&D Personnel

In 2025, the company had 193 R&D personnel, a 4.89% increase year-on-year, with R&D staff accounting for 20.93%, up 0.35 percentage points. Among them, 80 held master’s degrees, a 12.68% increase. The educational structure of the R&D team was further optimized, with a higher proportion of high-quality R&D talents.

R&D Investment Results

In 2025, R&D investment was 81.7208 million yuan, accounting for 6.19% of operating revenue. Notable progress was made in R&D projects during the year, such as in the field of composite adhesive materials, where high-barrier functional solvent-free adhesives achieved import substitution; in transportation functional materials, where vehicle body composite adhesive solutions addressed low surface energy bonding issues, and performance of adhesives for power batteries continued to improve; in electrical functional materials, where low partial discharge medium-voltage cast resin insulation performance led the industry. By the end of 2025, the company had applied for 236 invention patents, of which 178 had been granted, continuously enriching its technological reserves.

Cash Flow: Significant Structural Differentiation, Financing Cash Flow Turned Negative

In 2025, the company’s net increase in cash and cash equivalents was 13.6483 million yuan, down 41.42% year-on-year, with the three major cash flows showing divergence:

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash flow from operating activities was -16.4006 million yuan, still a net outflow but improved by 37.09% year-on-year, mainly because cash received from sales and services increased. Revenue growth boosted operating cash inflows, but some customer payments were still delayed, so net inflow was not yet achieved.

Investing Cash Flow

Net cash flow from investing activities increased significantly, from 17.1261 million yuan last year to 84.7346 million yuan, mainly because cash paid for investments decreased, while cash recovered from investments remained stable, expanding net inflow from investing activities.

Financing Cash Flow

Net cash outflow from financing activities changed from a net inflow of 31.0795 million yuan last year to a net outflow of 53.4379 million yuan, mainly due to the company’s dividend payments of 62.4651 million yuan this year, significantly increasing cash outflows.

Risk Warning: Multi-Dimensional Risks Still Need Vigilance

Raw Material Price Fluctuation Risk

The company’s raw materials are mainly basic chemical raw materials, affected by oil prices, supply and demand, etc., with unpredictable price fluctuations. Rapid increases in raw material prices could lag in product price adjustments, directly compressing gross margins and impacting profitability.

R&D and Technological Iteration Risks

The adhesive industry updates quickly; if the company cannot accurately grasp industry technological trends or experiences long R&D cycles leading to product iteration delays, it may lose technological leadership and weaken core competitiveness.

Market Competition Intensification Risk

Although market concentration in adhesives has increased, it remains relatively dispersed, facing advantages from international companies in high-end markets and pressures to shift towards environmentally friendly, solvent-free products. The competitive landscape is complex, requiring continuous enhancement of product competitiveness.

Goodwill Impairment Risk

The company’s goodwill from acquisitions amounts to 304.7075 million yuan. If subsidiaries like Wuhan Huasen and Qingyuan Better do not perform as expected in the future, there is a risk of goodwill impairment, which would directly reduce current profits.

Stock Market Risk

The company’s stock price is influenced by macroeconomic factors, industry policies, market sentiment, etc., with inherent volatility and uncertainty. Investors should be cautious of systemic and non-systemic market risks.

Senior Management Compensation: Core Management Stable

Chairman

Chairman Wang Ziping received a pre-tax remuneration of 1.5732 million yuan during the reporting period, a relatively high level among core management, consistent with the company’s scale and industry salary standards.

General Manager

General Manager Chen Dengyu received a pre-tax remuneration of 1.5684 million yuan, close to the chairman’s level, reflecting the value of the core management position.
