Management analysis
The company's overall performance was excellent, and the month-on-month decline in a single quarter was mainly affected by EPC. Benefiting from the boom in the mining machinery industry, the company actively increased its overseas market layout, and achieved high revenue and profit growth in the first three quarters. 3Q24's revenue and profit declined month-on-month. We believe that it was mainly because the company completed revenue recognition for the EPC project currently under way in the first half of the year, 1H24's EPC business achieved revenue of 0.2 billion yuan, while 3Q24 did not add additional EPC revenue. At the same time, 3Q24 suffered an exchange loss of 9.4697 million yuan, which also had a certain impact on current profit.
The core rubber wear-resistant spare parts business continues to grow at a high rate, and increased profitability helps release profits.
1Q-3Q24's rubber wear-resistant spare parts business revenue was 0.51 billion yuan, up 34.88% year on year, and gross margin increased 2.43 pcts year on year to 43.98%. The core rubber wear-resistant spare parts business has achieved high growth and increased gross margin, which is expected to continue to drive the company's profit release in the future.
Overseas revenue is growing rapidly, the base in Zambia has already been put into operation, and overseas travel is expected to accelerate further.
1Q-3Q24 achieved overseas revenue of 0.63 billion yuan, an increase of 99.55% over the previous year. The development of overseas markets enabled the company to achieve excellent performance this year. At the same time, overseas profitability was stronger than domestic. The gross margin of 1Q-3Q24 was 39.98%, higher than the domestic gross margin of 8.27 pcts. The company's profitability is also expected to increase in the future as the share of overseas revenue increases. At present, the company's base in Zambia was completed in October, and it is expected that further in-depth cooperation will be carried out with local mineral processing plants to accelerate the pace of the company's global market development.
