Introduction to this report:

Key points of investment:

Maintain an increase in holdings. The company's performance for the first three quarters fell short of expectations. Considering that industry demand has yet to pick up and accrued impairment increases due to increased accounts receivable, the 2024-2025 EPS forecast was lowered to 0.53 (-0.60) /0.79 (-0.96) yuan, and the additional forecast for 2026 EPS was 1.05 yuan. Referring to the 2024 PS valuation of comparable companies, a target price of 35 yuan was given to maintain the increase in holdings.

Net profit attributable to mother for the first three quarters fell short of expectations year-on-year, and cost rigidity affected performance. In the first three quarters, revenue of 0.476 billion yuan fell 12% year on year. It was mainly affected by external factors. Compared to the same industry, the company's growth was also weak during the same period. Q3 single-quarter revenue of 0.175 billion yuan decreased 29% year over year. Net profit due to the first three quarters was $-41.26 million, compared to 18.03 million yuan for the same period last year. On the one hand, it was affected by the decline in revenue, while the relative rigidity of the three-fee expenses did not decrease in the same proportion, leading to an increase in the expense ratio. On the other hand, the increase in accounts receivable led to an increase in accrued impairment. Furthermore, the 58.70% holding subsidiary Jiahe Heisen and the 22.45% shareholding subsidiary Ander Medical Intelligence had a significant impact on performance. The former was in the business start-up period, and the latter was in the recovery period of bankruptcy and restructuring. Q3 net profit to mother in a single quarter was -13.79 million yuan, compared to 41.19 million yuan in the same period last year.

At the regional level, strategic deployment is carried out around regional medical data resource application services, a regional medical full data lake is created, and upper level applications are actively explored to support mutual communication and sharing among multiple institutions.

Actively explore AI application scenarios and continue to intelligently transform products. According to the company's official public account, the company has formed a full ecosystem of smart medical product matrices, including clinical assisted decision support systems (CDSS), AI medical record content quality control systems, big data research and analysis platforms, intelligent pre-diagnosis systems, intelligent triage systems, and VTE risk prevention and control.
