Gelonghui, January 30, 丨 New Asia Manufacturing (002388.SZ) announced its 2023 annual results forecast. Net profit loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 175 million yuan to 31 million yuan, profit of 24.5064 million yuan for the same period last year; net profit loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non-recurring profit and loss was 181 million yuan - 316 million yuan, profit of 14.6583 million yuan for the same period last year; basic earnings loss per share was 0.38 yuan/share - 0.67 yuan/share.

During the reporting period, the operating income of the company's chemical materials-adhesive manufacturing business remained basically stable. Total profit increased to a certain extent, and revenue from the electronic information product supporting service business declined slightly. The losses were mainly due to the preparation of bad accounts receivable from the company's factoring business, losses in the newly purchased electrolyte business, and impairment of goodwill.

In the first quarter of 2023, the company acquired 51% of the shares of Xinya Shanshan New Material Technology (Quzhou) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “New Asanshan”) and included it in the scope of the merger, which generated 326 million yuan in goodwill. Affected by changes such as the slowdown in the growth rate of the downstream lithium-ion battery industry and the phased imbalance between supply and demand, the prices of Xinasanshan electrolyte and lithium hexafluorophosphate products dropped sharply. As a result, losses occurred during the reporting period, and it was necessary to prepare for impairment of goodwill in accordance with accounting standards, causing the company's net profit to lose a large amount.
