The asset-liability ratio at the end of Q3 was 51%, which is considered healthy [12][12]. Market Outlook - Since September, the price of photovoltaic films has increased multiple times. If the internal competition leads to a price increase for components, it will create opportunities for profit recovery in the film sector. The company has made significant progress in its PDCLC dimming film technology, securing contracts with major automotive manufacturers and expanding its application scenarios [12][12]. Future Projections - The company’s collaboration with H.B. Fuller on photovoltaic encapsulation film production lines has entered the installation and trial production phase. Equipment for the Turkish project has been shipped and successfully arrived at the port, which will enhance the company's influence in overseas markets. The PDCLC technology is expected to benefit from increased penetration rates in the automotive dimming film market, with further product line expansions anticipated [12][12].
