Production Facilities
Q&D Circuits’ existing Shenzhen factory mainly focuses on high-end prototypes, while the Jiangxi factory is geared towards rapid delivery of small-batch production. The newly funded Nantong factory will primarily focus on high-multilayer and HDI boards.
Capacity Utilization and Future Plans
As the Jiangxi factory’s output increases, from 2020 to 2021, the company’s overall capacity utilization rate rose from 80.88% to 93.94%. In the future, the company will establish three production bases in Shenzhen, Jiangxi, and Nantong.
Financial Performance
In terms of performance, Q&D Circuits expects a revenue of 579.45 million to 588.80 million yuan from January to September 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 9.25% to 11.01%. The net profit attributable to shareholders is projected to be between 76 million and 77.8 million yuan, up 13.87% to 16.57%.
Client Base and Growth Strategy
Q&D Circuits states that its PCB products serve various well-known domestic and international clients, including ICAPE, PCB Connect, Fineline, Dafu Technology, and Suzhou Huaxing Yuan Chuang, maintaining close collaboration with these customers. The company is also actively seeking new clients. As the customer base continues to expand, order volumes are expected to grow, ensuring the capacity increase for the projects.
Working Capital Plans
Moreover, to maintain stable operations and support the successful achievement of business development goals, Q&D Circuits plans to allocate 120 million yuan of the raised funds to supplement working capital to meet the funding needs of its rapid business growth.
Revenue Trends
From 2021 to the first half of 2024, Q&D Circuits’ main business revenues were 691.18 million yuan, 703.89 million yuan, 686.11 million yuan, and 370.19 million yuan, respectively; net profits attributable to the parent company were 56.02 million yuan, 91.06 million yuan, 90.90 million yuan, and 68.07 million yuan.
During the reporting period, the company showed an upward trend in revenue and profitability, mainly due to the Jiangxi factory’s commencement of operations in March 2018. With strong downstream market demand and the gradual completion of capacity ramp-up and production line stabilization, production volumes from 2019 to 2023 were 199,000 square meters, 300,000 square meters, 390,100 square meters, 362,900 square meters, and 345,200 square meters, respectively.
Conclusion
As the Jiangxi factory’s output increases, from 2020 to 2021, the company’s overall capacity utilization rate rose from 80.88% to 93.94%. In the future, the company will establish three production bases in Shenzhen, Jiangxi, and Nantong, focusing on high-end prototypes, rapid delivery of small-batch production, and small-batch production for emerging industries, catering to differentiated clients, regions, and industrial fields, thereby enhancing production and sales synergy.
