Some businesses are affected by various factors, and performance has fluctuated
In the first three quarters of 2023, the company's operating income declined compared to the same period last year. The specific factors driving changes in the main business revenue are as follows:
(1) In the first three quarters of 2023, the company's integrated circuit product sales continued to grow steadily, but due to the impact of design service project acceptance points, the company's integrated circuit business revenue fell 4.60% compared to the same period last year.
(2) In the first three quarters of 2023, the company's Beidou second-generation terminal products were gradually being replaced with Beidou third-generation terminal products. Although the orders for Beidou third-generation terminals and modules signed by the company increased significantly compared to the same period last year, due to factors such as testing and acceptance of Beidou terminal products, product delivery was delayed, and the company's Beidou navigation integrated application business revenue fell 30.84% compared to the same period last year.
(3) In the first three quarters of 2023, the company continued to develop and mass-produce visual intelligent products around the direction of intelligent application of unmanned platforms, focusing on the airborne ancillary equipment market. Visual intelligent products have increased significantly in terms of sales area and number of customers. Currently, it has undertaken the development of system-level and equipment-level products in many unmanned platform projects. However, due to the progress of construction and acceptance of video surveillance system projects, the company's smart city construction and operation service business revenue fell 8.46% compared to the same period last year.
