华宇电子IPO：高端业务仍拉胯，4亿募资是扩产还是“填窟窿”？

Core Viewpoint - Huayu Electronics is facing significant challenges in its IPO process, with concerns regarding business innovation, fundraising rationale, and financial authenticity, leading to uncertainty about its ability to successfully list again [1][4]. Company Overview - Huayu Electronics specializes in integrated circuit packaging and testing, primarily serving sectors such as 5G communications, automotive electronics, industrial control, and consumer electronics [3][4]. - The company is recognized as a national-level specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise [3]. Business Performance - The company has a low proportion of high-end business, resulting in a significant decline in gross profit margins, with margins dropping from 28.56% in 2022 to an expected 21.18% in 2024 [5]. - The gross profit margin for packaging testing (including standalone packaging) is projected to decrease from 21.98% in 2022 to 10.84% in 2024 [5]. Market Position - Huayu Electronics has a weak competitive position in the high-end packaging testing market, primarily relying on conventional packaging and mid-range professional testing products for revenue [4][5]. - The advanced packaging market in mainland China is expected to grow significantly, with a projected market size of approximately 400 billion yuan in 2024, and advanced packaging is anticipated to account for 36% of this market [4]. Financial Concerns - The company's profits have been questioned due to potential "inflation" from government subsidies and tax reductions, with total profits reported as 85.85 million yuan in 2022, 43.17 million yuan in 2023, and 59.90 million yuan in 2024 [7][9]. - A significant portion of the company's profits is derived from government subsidies, which accounted for 24.47% of total profits in 2022, raising concerns about sustainability [9]. R&D and Talent Issues - The company has been criticized for its low R&D expenditure relative to industry averages, with R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue being 5.96% in 2022, compared to the industry average of 8.74% [10]. - The educational background of the R&D staff is concerning, with only 0.26% holding a master's degree or higher, which may jeopardize the company's high-tech enterprise certification [10][11]. Capacity Utilization and Expansion Plans - As of 2024, the capacity utilization rates for packaging testing, chip finished testing, and wafer testing are 77.56%, 70.12%, and 75.20%, respectively, indicating underutilization [13][14]. - Despite low utilization rates, the company plans to raise 400 million yuan for expansion projects, raising questions about the rationale behind expanding capacity when current capacity is underused [12][15].
