Financial Associated Press, October 24 (Reporter Wu Xin)According to the latest disclosure of results, digital certification (300579.SZ) reported a loss in the third quarter, but the company's three-quarter report did not provide a specific explanation. The relevant person in charge of the company said in an interview with the Financial Associated Press that government affairs still accounts for a relatively large proportion of the company's revenue, and the company is currently developing customers in real estate, car networking and other industries, but the specific performance contributions are not counted separately.
In the third quarter of this year, digital certification achieved operating income of 207 million yuan and net profit of-28.563 million yuan, down 15.77% and 266.30% respectively compared with the same period last year, and "dragged down" the net profit of returning home in the first three quarters also fell 188.99% from the same period last year.
Since it went public in 2016, Digital Certification has never suffered a loss in the third quarter, and has been on a growing trend in the third quarter of 2022 as a whole, so the loss looks "strange", but the company did not explain the reason for the loss in its third quarterly report.
Digital Certification previously said in the semi-annual report, "the government is the main customer group of the company's integrated business, and most of these customers plan their investment and procurement for the whole year in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year or even the fourth quarter, bidding, project acceptance and project settlement are carried out, and the company's business income also shows seasonal fluctuations."
Looking at the performance data over the years, the reporter found that such "seasonal fluctuations" do exist, especially in the fourth quarter, which is usually the "strongest" quarter of the company's revenue and profit performance. however, "seasonal fluctuations" may not explain the sharp decline in performance in the third quarter of this year.
When accepting a reporter from the Financial Associated Press, people related to digital certification said that government affairs is a customer group that accounts for a large proportion of customer revenue, followed by finance and medical care. At present, the company is also opening up customers in other areas, such as real estate, car networking, and so on. These business sectors are generally classified as "enterprises and institutions". For the time being, there is no separate statistics on the newly developed business.
The person further said that the car networking innovation business is currently a "relatively large investment" aspect of the company.
It is worth noting that digital authentication has cooperated with Huawei in cryptographic solutions. As for the benefits brought by the relevant cooperation, people related to digital certification said that individual statistics had not been carried out, which is unknown for the time being.
On September 5, the company said on the interactive platform that the company and Huawei jointly released an integrated solution based on Kunpeng, "Kunmi" cryptographic computing platform solution, which can be applied to edge computing, private computing, cloud cryptographic services, data security and other application scenarios.
In addition, digital certification and Huawei jointly build a C-V2X security certificate service operation service platform to provide all kinds of security certificate services for vehicle networking V2X devices.
