Financial Performance - Jia De Li's revenue for 2022, 2023, 2024, and the first half of 2025 were 550 million, 528 million, 734 million, and 367 million respectively, with net profits of 192 million, 141 million, 238 million, and 125 million, indicating a decline in 2023 followed by a projected increase in 2024 [2][5]. - The company's gross profit margins for the same periods were 49.29%, 41.91%, 46.29%, and 48.79%, significantly higher than the industry averages of 41.31%, 33.22%, 32.88%, and 36.85% [2][3]. - Net profit margins were reported at 34.97%, 26.66%, 32.42%, and 33.99%, while the average for comparable companies was much lower at 16.26%, 10.54%, 10.65% [3][4]. Cost Management - Jia De Li's selling expenses were 2.6647 million, 3.0174 million, 4.8748 million, and 1.47 million, representing 0.48%, 0.57%, 0.66%, and 0.40% of revenue, significantly lower than the industry average of 1.37% to 1.44% [4]. - Management expenses were 17.4068 million, 28.2156 million, 27.9604 million, and 15.7799 million, accounting for 3.16%, 5.34%, 3.81%, and 4.29% of revenue, also below the industry averages [4][5]. Research and Development - Research and development expenses were 21.3174 million, 21.7237 million, 23.884 million, and 12.0019 million, with ratios of 3.88%, 4.11%, 3.25%, and 3.27%, showing a decline below industry averages in recent years [5]. - The decrease in R&D spending raises questions about whether Jia De Li's high profit margins are driven by innovation or other factors [5]. Capacity Utilization - Reported capacity utilization rates were 107.74%, 99.52%, 102.89%, and 105.81%, but these figures are based on "standardized output" rather than actual production, leading to concerns about the accuracy of these metrics [6][8]. - If calculated using actual production, the capacity utilization rates would drop to approximately 80%, indicating a significant discrepancy in reported performance [8]. Construction Projects - The company's construction projects have seen a substantial increase, with in-progress projects rising from 78 million to 339 million within six months, primarily due to investments in new production lines [5][9]. IPO Details - Jia De Li plans to issue no less than 45.9075 million shares, aiming to raise 725 million for new production facilities and working capital [9]. - Prior to the IPO application, the company brought in four external investors through a capital increase, with a valuation of approximately 3.65 billion [9].
