Financial Performance - The company has experienced a decline in revenue for three consecutive years, with figures of 818 million, 463 million, and 573 million yuan from 2022 to 2024, resulting in a compound annual growth rate of -16.29% [2][3]. - Net profit has decreased from 114 million yuan to 59 million yuan, nearly halving during the same period [2][3]. - Despite a 27.8% year-on-year revenue growth in the first four months of 2025, overall performance has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels [2].
