reviews
In the first half of the year, the platinum+ rare earth business was under pressure, and semiconductor targets grew steadily countercyclically. 1H23 is influenced by the semiconductor industry. Although the company's target sales volume also fell 11%, through increased market expansion, target revenue increased by 10%, the proportion of 8-12 inch target sales increased further, and continued to promote product verification. Affected by the decline in prices and demand for rare earths and platinum group metals, 1H23's rare earth and platinum group business declined markedly. The subsidiary Youyan's net profit loss was 36 million yuan. The company is actively exploring overseas markets and continuing to strengthen market development for electroacoustic magnets and industrial motor magnets. The number of orders and new customer turnover for 1H23 companies in the optical sector increased, vigorously developed the optical lens market, and revenue doubled year-on-year; sales of fixed orthodontic brace products in the medical sector also increased 20%, strengthening the promotion of digitally customized dental products.
The target material Dezhou base project was put into operation in Q3 to promote the development and verification of new products. The company covers all categories of semiconductor targets, mainly copper-based targets. 1H23 breaks through the key technology of 2-inch high-purity cobalt targets and cobalt anode products, and is used for advanced nano-interconnections with cutting-edge processes that are more advanced than copper interconnections; it continues to promote the optimization of tantalum target technology and the development of targets such as tungsten and tungsten alloys for advanced storage. The company's Changping plant production line renovation has been completed. Currently, the production capacity is 35,000 units/year, and the Dezhou base plans to expand the production capacity by 43,000 blocks, 1-4 #厂房全面竣工,完成设备安装调试,预计Q3末通线生产。 In terms of raw materials, the company has achieved self-production and supply of high-purity copper and cobalt metals.
The magneto-optic medical sector has optimized the industrial layout, and high-end products are progressing in an orderly manner. 1) Magnetic sector: In May '23, it is planned to transfer 38.72% of the shares of developed rare earths to China, actively promote the expansion of production capacity for magnetic products and high-end light-emitting materials, and strengthen the expansion of production and market development of magnets for industrial motors. 2) Optical sector: Promote the downstream extension of the infrared optical product industry chain, development and design of uncooled infrared lens components, and the development of large-diameter germanium single crystals and silicon single crystal processes for infrared. 3) Medical sector: Promote the development of third-generation digital customized orthodontic treatment systems and build a new digital “fixed+invisible” business model.
