During the reporting period, net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 35.31 million yuan, a year-over-year increase of 199.90% from 11.77 million yuan in the same period last year.

This indicates a significant improvement in the core business profitability, with the impact of non-recurring items on net profit decreasing.

In Q1 2024, the company’s basic earnings per share (EPS) was 0.23 yuan, up 187.50% from 0.08 yuan in the same period last year, aligning closely with the net profit growth, reflecting that profit increases are directly passed through to EPS.

Attention is needed on subsequent collections and bad debt risks.

As of March 31, 2024, inventory was 1.18 billion yuan, down 26.66% from 1.60 billion yuan at the end of 2023. The decline is mainly due to major project deliveries leading to inventory clearance, improving turnover efficiency.

R&D expenditure as a percentage of revenue dropped from 34.20% to 11.63%, a decline of 22.57 percentage points, indicating a significant reduction in R&D investment scale.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities: Narrowing Deficit, Still Outflow

In Q1 2024, net cash flow from operating activities was -2.64 million yuan, significantly narrower than -5.78 million yuan last year.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities: Turned Positive, Increased Returns

During the period, net cash flow from investing activities was 27.64 million yuan, reversing from -162.97 million yuan last year.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities: Continues Outflow, Scale Narrows

In Q1 2024, net cash flow from financing activities was -1.45 million yuan, narrower than -2.75 million yuan last year. The period involved dividend and interest payments of 464,900 yuan and other financing-related payments of 14.01 million yuan, with no new financing inflows, mainly due to debt repayment and share repurchase expenses.
