It is about 90 million to 110 million yuan, an increase of 504.9% to 639.3% year-on-year. The company’s first-quarter net profit increased by 261.98% year-on-year. The main reason for the increase in the company’s performance in the first half of 2021 compared with the same period of the previous year is that in the first half of 2020, downstream production was suspended due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, and demand was weakened, so the comparable base in the same period last year was small. Since the second half of 2020, as the epidemic is gradually brought under control, the company’s downstream demand has gradually recovered and will remain strong in the first half of 2021, and the company’s product sales have risen sharply; downstream applications have strong demand, but the company’s industry upstream has tight production capacity . The company began to actively stock up in the fourth quarter of 2020, so that it can continue to support the downstream in this period, but it still needs to continuously allocate production capacity to meet customer needs. In the first half of 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, the company made a strategic price reduction decision. In this period, due to the tight supply side and a slight increase in costs, the company made a slight correction in product prices; the company is a research and development company, and the total period cost is approximately More than 70% of the research and development expenses. In this period, we continued to increase our research and development efforts and continued to invest in the research and development of new projects. Therefore, the research and development expenses still maintained rapid growth, but the growth rate was smaller than the revenue growth rate, so the net profit increased.

Under the “lack of core shortage”, the development of domestic semiconductors has entered the fast lane
Since the end of 2020, the production capacity of global chip manufacturers has been in a hurry, and “one chip is difficult to find” has become the norm. In this context, it is very valuable for domestic semiconductors to usher in dazzling performance. According to the latest data released by the China Semiconductor Industry Association, the sales of China’s integrated circuit industry in the first quarter of 2021 was 173.93 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.1%. Among them, the sales of the design industry was 71.77 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.9%; the sales of the manufacturing industry was 54.21 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.1%; the sales of the packaging and testing industry was 47.95 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase. An increase of 7.3%.
Undoubtedly, accelerating the localization of chips has become one of the important issues for Chinese technology companies. According to the company’s data, there are currently 74,100 chip-related companies (including upstream and downstream links in the industry chain) in China, and 22,800 new companies will be registered in 2020. Since entering 2021, the rally has been hard to stop. In the first quarter, my country added 8,679 chip-related companies, a year-on-year increase of 302%; among them, 4,047 companies registered in March, a year-on-year increase of 226%. From the perspective of regional distribution, Guangdong Province currently ranks first with 25,200 enterprises, followed by Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Earlier, the State Council issued “Several Policies for Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry and Software Industry in the New Era”, which mentioned that China’s chip self-sufficiency rate will reach 70% by 2025, which has become the focus of countless people. Official statistics show that my country’s chip self-sufficiency rate is only 30% in 2019. It is extremely challenging to more than double the self-sufficiency rate in 5 years to reach 70% in 2025. Today, the gap between the domestic chip industry and foreign countries is mainly reflected in the IC manufacturing process, while the support of national policies and capital for domestic chips is increasing, and the market’s confidence in domestic chips is gradually increasing. The next step will focus on solving many “stuck necks” problem, I believe that the development in the chip field will be further improved.
