Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized multiple strong financial and operational accomplishments — double‑digit revenue growth, substantial net profit and cash flow expansion, rapid growth in EMD/PM and heat‑dissipation, major optics and sensor wins, and strategic M&A to enter data center cooling. Noted challenges include margin pressure in acoustics and optics modules, industry headwinds in smartphone shipments and memory volatility, and uncertain commercialization timelines for robotics/AR. On balance, the positive revenue, profitability, cash generation, and strategic diversification materially outweigh the issues highlighted.
Company Guidance
Management guided 2026 group revenue to grow about 16% while maintaining a gross profit margin of roughly 22% and driving further net‑profit improvement, backed by strong cash generation (2025 operating cash inflow RMB7.18bn, free cash flow RMB4.88bn, cash RMB8.61bn, CapEx ~RMB2.83bn). Segment guidance: PM/EMD (motors/mechanics & heat dissipation) is expected to deliver high growth (>30% revenue growth for PM in 2026) after heat‑dissipation revenue jumped >400% to RMB1.67bn in 2025 (VC shipments CAGR ~90% 2020–2025); metal frames were RMB3.82bn (+4.2%). Optics is expected to grow ~10% in 2026 with lens ASP +5–10%, a target lens gross margin of ~35% (7P/1G6P hybrid lens shipments ~15m in 2025) and improving module mix/OIS penetration. Sensors & semiconductors are guided to grow mid‑to‑high double digits (~15–20%), acoustics to see stable growth (2025 acoustics revenue RMB8.35bn; H2 RMB4.83bn; acoustics GPM 27.6%) and automotive acoustics to sustain double‑digit expansion with stable margins (2025 automotive revenue RMB4.11bn; H2 RMB2.3bn; automotive GPM 23.8%), as the company accelerates AI hardware, AR optics, data‑center cooling and automotive system rollouts.
Strong Revenue and Profit Growth
Group revenue of RMB 31.82 billion in 2025, up 16.4% year‑on‑year; gross profit RMB 7.02 billion, up 16% YoY; group gross profit margin 22.1% (flat YoY); net profit RMB 2.51 billion, up 39.8% YoY.
Robust Cash Generation and Healthy Balance Sheet
Operating cash inflow RMB 7.18 billion, up 38.1% YoY; free cash flow RMB 4.88 billion, up 65.1% YoY; cash and cash equivalents RMB 8.61 billion, up ~14.2% YoY; net gearing 2.1%, down ~1.7 percentage points.
EMD/PM and Heat Dissipation Surge
Combined EMD and PM revenue RMB 11.77 billion (H2 revenue RMB 7.14 billion, H2 +17.6%); heat dissipation business revenue RMB 1.67 billion, up over 400% YoY; first fully automated production line implemented to raise manufacturing efficiency and yield.
Optics: Move into High‑end Components and Volume Wins
Optics revenue RMB 5.73 billion in 2025; shipments of 7‑element lenses (7P and hybrid) around 15 million units; hybrid/7P and periscope modules reached milestones (periscope achieved mass shipments); modules ≥32MP accounted for >40%; OIS module shipments nearly doubled.
Sensor & Semiconductor Rapid Expansion
Sensor and Semiconductor revenue RMB 1.57 billion, up 103.1% YoY driven by increased market share of higher SNR microphones and mass production wins with major customers.
Automotive Acoustics Momentum and Premium Wins
Automotive acoustics revenue RMB 4.11 billion, up 16.1% YoY with gross margin 23.8%; positioned as a leading automotive audio supplier (second to Harman and Bose) and supplied a premium 9.2.4.8n system for Zeekr 9X; management targets sustained double‑digit annual growth for the segment.
Strategic M&A and Diversification into Data Center Cooling
Acquisitions (Hebei First Light and majority stake in Far East/liquid cooling business ~51–55%) broaden capabilities into digital microphones, liquid cooling and data center cooling, accelerating entry into high‑growth adjacent markets.
Production Scale, Technical Wins and Long‑term Opportunities
Hybrid lens shipments exceeded 10 million units; VC heat dissipation shipments CAGR nearly 90% (2020–2025); vertical integration enabling end‑to‑end optics/waveguide offers high‑ASP opportunities (targeting AR/AI wearables and light engines with expected high unit values).
