The value of integrated military protection products is also projected to increase, contributing to margin enhancement [2][6]. 3. **Military Trade Focus**: Alliance Electronics is increasing its investment in military trade, with a focus on products that have lower raw material costs and higher gross margins (60%-70% or even higher). The company plans to enhance military trade cooperation to improve overall gross margin levels [2][8]. 4. **Future Revenue and Margin Expectations**: If the industry develops healthily, the company tracks over 100 models that could stabilize revenue between 1 billion to 2 billion RMB in the coming years, with an average gross margin expected to reach 50%-60% due to increased military trade investment and domestic model development [2][9]. 5. **Employee Incentives and Shareholding**: The decision for a small proportion of share transfer is based on employee incentives and team contribution considerations. The company aims to reward shareholders and enhance team cohesion, with no further reduction plans anticipated [2][10]. 6. **Cost Structure**: The main business cost structure indicates that labor costs account for approximately 50%-60% of total costs, with the remainder being fixed costs. Sales, management, and R&D expenses are not included in manufacturing costs [11]. 7. **Military Trade Contribution**: In 2025, military trade exports are expected to account for about 20% of total sales, with signed contracts amounting to approximately 500 million RMB, including military trade-related orders [13]. 8. **Product Line Performance**: In the 700-800 million RMB order range for 2025, countermeasure equipment accounts for over 100 million RMB, while communication and navigation equipment constitutes the majority.
