Core Revenue Metrics: Structural Differentiation Amid Steady Growth

In 2025, Visionox Co., Ltd. achieved operating revenue of RMB 24.354 billion, up 8.72% year over year. While the revenue scale continued to expand, the business structure showed clear differentiation:

  • Smart Control Components: Revenue was RMB 12.208 billion, up 18.83% year over year. Its share of total revenue increased to 50.13%, becoming the core driver of revenue growth. Among them, revenue from home appliance controllers was RMB 2.515 billion, up 46.02% year over year significantly. Revenue from LCD display control boards was RMB 7.031 billion, up 6.07% year over year. Against the backdrop of a slight decline in global TV shipments, the market share increased to 33.13%.
  • Smart Terminals and Applications: Revenue was RMB 11.585 billion, down 0.36% year over year. This was mainly affected by a 12.80% decline in revenue from commercial display devices and systems. However, the education brand business performed strongly: revenue was RMB 5.581 billion, up 8.77% year over year. Seewo’s interactive smart boards’ domestic market share reached 49.8%, maintaining the leading position for 14 consecutive years. Enterprise services brand revenue was RMB 2.651 billion, up 8.59% year over year, while overseas business revenue was RMB 0.666 billion, up 54.83% year over year.

Parent-company net profit delivered steady growth, but non-GAAP net profit declined 10.07% year over year. The main reasons were: adjustments to the capital structure led to reduced interest income; meanwhile, gains from the disposal of financial assets increased within non-recurring gains and losses, causing non-recurring gains and losses to contribute more to net profit. Basic earnings per share increased along with net profit growth, while non-GAAP earnings per share fell along with the decline in non-GAAP net profit.

In 2025, the company strengthened expense control, resulting in a year-over-year decline in selling and administrative expenses. Financial expenses narrowed significantly year over year due to reduced interest income. R&D investment continued to be ramped up: full-year R&D investment was RMB 1.602 billion, accounting for 6.58% of operating revenue. Breakthrough progress was made in key technical directions such as multimodal large models, embodied intelligence, and enhanced next-generation voice technologies. More than 800 newly granted authorized patents were added, including over 330 invention patents.

Increase in trade financing

Net cash flow from operating activities fell sharply by 47.28% year over year, mainly because: as raw material prices rose, the company increased inventory preparations for key raw materials, leading to a significant increase in cash paid to purchase goods. Net cash flow from investing activities decreased significantly year over year, mainly due to an expanded scale of purchases of wealth management products. Net cash flow from financing activities turned from negative to positive, mainly benefiting from an increase in the scale of trade financing.

Potential Risks

  1. Risk of Supply Chain Volatility: The prices of raw materials such as storage chips are trending upward, which may increase the company’s production costs and affect profitability levels.
  2. Risk of Foreign Exchange Hedging for Risk Management: Imbalances in the scale of import and export business and a time lag between settlement and receipt of foreign exchange, combined with uncertainties in the global macro environment, may cause exchange rate fluctuations to impact the company’s performance.
  3. Risk That New Project Progress Does Not Meet Expectations: New projects such as automotive electronics, power electronics, and robotics may be affected by factors including changes in the market environment and policy adjustments, resulting in progress and economic benefits falling short of expectations.

Compensation for Top Executives (Board Members, Supervisors, and Senior Management): Differentiation Among Core Leadership

Deputy General Manager (Yang Ming)
144.14
Chief Financial Officer (Hu Lihua)
233.77

The Chairman’s and General Manager’s compensation remained stable. Deputy General Manager Yang Ming’s compensation was higher because he also serves as CTO and is responsible for core technology R&D. Chief Financial Officer Hu Lihua’s compensation was high mainly related to core work he oversees, including financial strategy and capital operations.
