爱得科技IPO：一季度净利润再“变脸” 止跌企稳趋势遇阻

Core Viewpoint - Suzhou Aide Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Aide Technology") has responded to concerns regarding its significant performance decline by stating it aims for a financial recovery in 2024, yet its net profit for Q1 2025 has shown a reversal in trend [1][4]. Company Overview - Aide Technology, established in 2006, focuses on the research, development, production, and sales of orthopedic medical devices, primarily including spinal, trauma, and sports medicine products, as well as wound healing products [3]. - According to the prospectus, Aide Technology ranked third among domestic manufacturers of spinal vertebroplasty systems and sixth among domestic manufacturers of spinal implant medical devices in 2023 [3]. Financial Performance - In Q1 2025, Aide Technology reported revenue of 66.79 million yuan, a slight increase of 3.47% year-on-year, while the net profit attributable to shareholders was 15.80 million yuan, reflecting a year-on-year decline of 3.20% [4]. - The company's net profit growth momentum for 2024 has been interrupted due to pressure from centralized procurement [4]. Market Dynamics - The implementation of centralized procurement in the second half of 2023 led to a decline in average product prices, adversely affecting Aide Technology's revenue and resulting in a year-on-year decline in net profit for 2023 and the first three quarters of 2024 [4]. - In Q4 2024, the company managed to stabilize its performance through a strategy of "increasing volume to offset price" [4]. Cost and Margin Analysis - In Q1 2025, Aide Technology experienced a slight decline in gross margin and net profit margin compared to the end of 2024, with total operating costs rising by 4.12% year-on-year to 46.76 million yuan [4]. - The marginal effect of the "increasing volume to offset price" strategy has shown signs of diminishing returns under the dual pressure of declining prices for centralized procurement products and increased promotional costs for non-centralized procurement products [4].
