Wuhan Lin(SH:688667) Xin Lang Cai Jing·2025-06-16 09:35Core Viewpoint - The acquisition of 98.426% of Jiangsu Aoyikes Automotive Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. by Lingdian Electric Control for 478 million yuan is seen as a last-ditch effort to reverse the declining performance of Lingdian Electric Control, which has faced a continuous drop in net profit for four years [1][4]. Company Performance - Lingdian Electric Control's net profit has plummeted from 157 million yuan in 2020 to 15.9462 million yuan in 2024, a decrease of 89.8% [1]. - The company's gross margin has dropped from 35.83% in 2022 to 19.37% in 2024, while the net margin has fallen from 9.41% to 1.33% [1]. - In Q1 2025, the company reported a net profit increase of 4521.16% to 17.48 million yuan, but the non-recurring net profit was only 14.66 million yuan, indicating a heavy reliance on government subsidies and investment income [2]. Acquisition Details - Aoyikes, established in 2013, reported a revenue of 472 million yuan in 2024, showing no growth, and a net profit of 8.7311 million yuan, down over 40% from 2023 [3]. - The acquisition price of 478 million yuan represents a 53.97% premium over the assessed value of 486 million yuan for 100% of Aoyikes' equity [3]. - Performance compensation clauses have been set, requiring Aoyikes to achieve a cumulative net profit of at least 119 million yuan from 2025 to 2027 if the deal is completed in 2025 [3]. Market Challenges - Both companies are heavily reliant on fuel vehicle EMS products, with Lingdian Electric Control generating 81.64% of its revenue from EMS-related products in 2023, while only 10.17% came from new energy vehicle controllers [5]. - The Chinese automotive electronic control market is dominated by international companies, with local EMS suppliers holding only 1% market share, indicating a challenging competitive landscape for both companies [6].
