Core Viewpoint - Tianjin Pharmaceutical Industry (津药药业) reported significant pressure on its operating performance in the first half of 2025, with a net profit attributable to shareholders dropping by 65.28% year-on-year to 49.30 million yuan, primarily due to revenue contraction and a substantial antitrust fine [1][2]. Financial Performance - The company achieved operating revenue of 1.588 billion yuan, a decrease of 11.81% from 1.801 billion yuan in the same period last year, indicating challenges in market demand and sales capabilities [2]. - Total profit for the period was 100 million yuan, down 48.45% year-on-year, while the net profit attributable to shareholders was only 49.30 million yuan, a decline of 65.28% compared to 142 million yuan last year, highlighting a significant deterioration in profitability [2]. - Basic and diluted earnings per share were both 0.045 yuan, a decrease of 65.38% from 0.130 yuan in the previous year, which directly weakened shareholder returns [2]. Antitrust Fine Impact - On April 30, 2025, the Tianjin Market Supervision Administration issued an administrative penalty against the company for monopolistic behavior related to dexamethasone phosphate raw materials, resulting in a fine of 69.19 million yuan, which significantly impacted net profit [3]. - This fine was recorded as an extraordinary expense, revealing major deficiencies in the company's antitrust compliance and internal control systems, posing future compliance risks [3]. Operational Challenges - In response to performance pressures, the company has made adjustments in its sales strategy, transferring non-U.S. raw material business to Tianjin Pharmaceutical (Singapore) Co., Ltd. to leverage geographical and foreign exchange advantages, although market development and channel integration will take time [3]. - Cost-saving measures, such as collective procurement of packaging materials, have been implemented to achieve nearly 40 million yuan in cost reductions, but the impact on profit is limited due to revenue contraction [3]. Potential Risks - The company faces multiple potential risks, including fluctuations in raw material and energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased environmental compliance costs due to stricter VOCs regulations [4]. - Safety risks associated with hazardous chemicals used in production, as well as exchange rate fluctuations affecting export profits, particularly since over 60% of steroid hormone raw materials are exported, further complicate the operational landscape [4].
