Summary of the Conference Call for Yizhiming (伊之密) Company Overview - Yizhiming reported satisfactory operating conditions for the first half of 2025 despite adverse economic conditions both domestically and internationally. The company is focusing on a globalization strategy, with the establishment of an overseas division aimed at increasing overseas revenue to 35% by 2028 and eventually to 50% in the long term [2][9]. Key Points and Arguments Business Performance - In the first half of 2025, Yizhiming achieved over 15% growth in both revenue and profit, with major products such as injection molding machines, presses, and rubber machines all experiencing double-digit growth [3]. - Domestic orders for injection molding machines were strong in the first half of 2025, while overseas orders were weaker. However, from July onwards, there was a significant increase in overseas order growth, with expectations that the overseas market will outperform the domestic market in the second half of the year, particularly in underdeveloped regions like India, South America, and Africa [4][9]. Injection Molding Machine Business - Among the various types of injection molding machines, the two-plate and all-electric models performed better than the three-plate models this year. The growth rate of injection molding machines was slower than that of die-casting machines due to differences in revenue recognition timing [5][10]. - The overall market for injection molding machines is expected to improve in the second half of 2025, with a focus on increasing market share domestically while also expanding internationally [9]. Magnesium Alloy Forming Business - The magnesium alloy forming business has seen a turning point due to a decrease in magnesium alloy prices, which have become comparable to or lower than aluminum alloys. This has led to a significant increase in orders for magnesium alloy equipment, particularly for automotive applications [7][8]. - Yizhiming delivered 6,600 tons of equipment and collaborated with DGS, reinforcing its market position in the magnesium alloy forming sector. The company anticipates that this business will contribute significantly to revenue in the coming years [8]. Overseas Market Dynamics - The overseas revenue distribution is diverse, with strong performances noted in regions such as India, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and parts of Southeast Asia. The company has a low sales exposure to the U.S. market, which is affected by trade tensions [6]. - The acceleration of overseas orders is attributed to the company's globalization strategy, increased investment in overseas markets, and the competitive advantage of Chinese equipment manufacturers over struggling foreign giants [9]. Financial Metrics - The gross margin slightly declined year-on-year due to the implementation of new accounting standards and the inclusion of lower-margin orders from major clients. However, the impact is diminishing, and the gross margin improved in the second quarter compared to the first quarter [5][11]. Additional Important Insights - The company is committed to enhancing its core competitiveness in the domestic market while expanding its market share. It is expected that Yizhiming will maintain considerable growth in both domestic and international markets over the next two to three years, with faster growth anticipated overseas [9].
