Longsys Annual Report 2023

Recently, Longsys released its latest annual report, in 2023, the company's operating income will be 10.125 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.55%, but the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies will be -828 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1237.15%.

As for the main reasons for the changes in the company's operating conditions in 2023, Longsys pointed out in its annual report that the sharp fluctuations in the memory chip industry pose a severe test to its operations. Affected by the slowdown in the global economic recovery and rising inflation, the demand for semiconductor storage products has declined due to weak end-market demand, especially the sluggish demand for important markets such as mobile phones and PCs that are affected by consumer spending. Since the second half of 2022, the pressure of high inventory in the end market has been transmitted upward to the semiconductor memory industry chain, resulting in a rapid decline in the unit price of memory chips, which has continued until the third quarter of 2023.

According to the CFM flash memory market, in the first half of 2023, the NAND Flash market composite price index fell by 27.6%, and the DRAM market composite price index fell by 29.6%. According to the financial data released by Samsung, Hynix, Micron and other companies, the original international storage factories will also suffer significant losses in the first half of 2023.

On the other hand, in 2023, Longsys' expenses during the period will be 1.586 billion yuan, an increase of 718 million yuan or 82.64% over the same period of the previous year, of which R&D expenses will reach 594 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 66.74%; The amount of share-based payment in R&D expenses was 111 million yuan.

Longsys also pointed out in the annual report that in the future, the company will be based on the memory semiconductor industry and aim to become an international memory brand enterprise. In terms of R&D, the company maintained a high level of R&D investment, and further consolidated the company's technology and product capabilities from the dimensions of wafer analysis, memory design, firmware R&D, testing capabilities, and self-developed chips. In terms of manufacturing, we will integrate advanced packaging and testing technologies, improve the layout of the global manufacturing business chain, improve product quality and delivery efficiency, and enhance product innovation capabilities and comprehensive competitiveness. In terms of brand, we will adhere to the brand as the carrier, increase brand marketing and improve user stickiness by enriching the connotation of our own brand, and enhance the added value of the brand. At the same time, the company will actively expand overseas markets and accelerate the global layout.
