The company's overall profit indicators have declined. The company's key customers are mainly concentrated in the new energy industry. The sales price of similar products is lower in the new energy industry than in other industries. The gross margin of the company's products declined slightly year-on-year due to factors such as the large share of sales in the new energy industry and product upgrades.
