Year ended 31 December
2025 RMB'000 2024 RMB'000 Change %
Revenue 584,123 578,807 0.9
Cost of sales (281,871) (271,890) 3.7
Gross profit 302,252 306,917 (1.5)
Research and development expenses (147,438) (129,220) 14.1
Profit before taxation 122,005 165,960 (26.5)
Profit for the year 122,005 166,601 (26.8)
Adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure) 188,958 159,508 18.5

The Company's revenue increased by 0.9% from RMB578.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB584.1 million for the Reporting Period. On one hand, demand for high-end industrial analog chips continued to grow steadily, with import substitution further deepening. On the other hand, amid fluctuations in the external trade environment, the Company proactively adjusted its distributor structure. Overall, the Company maintained an operational pace characterised by stability with progress in 2025.

The Company's cost of sales increased by 3.7% from RMB271.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB281.9 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the increase in the revenue of the Company during the Reporting Period, which led to the increased cost of sales accordingly.


The Company’s gross profit decreased by 1.5% from RMB306.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB302.3 million for the Reporting Period, and the gross profit margin decreased from 53.0% for the year ended 31 December 2024 to 51.7% for the Reporting Period. Our gross profits and gross profit margins largely depend on the variety of our product mix, as we provide multi-variety products in small batches to our customers. The revenue of the Company slightly increased in 2025, with a corresponding marginal decline in gross profit, primarily attributable to the shift in sales mix of products with different gross profit margins and the increase in provision for inventory impairment recognised in 2025.

The Company’s research and development (the “R&D”) expenses increased by 14.1% from RMB129.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB147.4 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the recognition by the Company of share-based payment expenses of RMB51.0 million for R&D personnel during the Reporting Period to incentivise the R&D team.

The Company’s profit before taxation decreased by 26.5% from RMB166.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB122.0 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the recognition by the Company of share-based payment expenses of RMB51.0 million for R&D personnel during the Reporting Period.

The Company’s profit for the year decreased by 26.8% from RMB166.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB122.0 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the recognition by the Company of share-based payment expenses of RMB51.0 million for R&D personnel during the Reporting Period.

FINAL DIVIDEND

The Board does not recommend the payment of the final dividend for the Reporting Period (For the year ended 31 December 2024: Nil).

ANNUAL RESULTS

The board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of BaTeLab Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “we”) hereby announces the audited annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Reporting Period”), together with the comparative figures for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Notes:

(i) The investment as at 31 December 2025 represent 29.4% (2024: 29.4%) of the LLP in the venture capital partnership as a limited partner. The Company designated its investment in the LLP at FVOCI as the investment is held for strategic purposes. No dividends (2024: nil) were received on this investment during the year.

(ii) An insignificant portion of the Company’s trade receivables are settled via bank acceptance bills issued by Loan Prime Rate (LPR)-quoting banks in the PRC, and the Company does not endorse or transfer such bills to suppliers as at 31 December 2025. Given the extremely high credit standing of the issuing banks, such bills are typically discounted on a non-recourse basis. Accordingly, such trade receivables were considered as within the business model to hold to collect contractual cash flows and to sell business model, and classified as receivables at FVOCI.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

Market Overview

In 2025, the global analog integrated circuit (or analog IC) industry was generally characterised by a coexistence of cyclical recovery and structural opportunities. Leading global analog companies saw a rebound in revenue in early 2025, which persisted throughout the year. On the demand side, areas such as AI servers, new energy vehicles, and industrial electrification and automation continued to drive the explosive growth potential of high-end power management chips. On the supply side, overseas companies took the lead in raising prices, while domestic manufacturers accelerated their consolidation, resulting in relatively constrained global manufacturing capacity for high-end analog chips.

The intense competition in the external trade environment in 2025 posed considerable challenges for the highly globalised chip industry. China possesses the world's largest single market for analog chips, with the domestic substitution rate remaining below 20%, presenting domestic manufacturers with a vast substitution opportunity exceeding US$10 billion.

Business Overview

Given the current market environment and outlook for the global analog chip market, the Company remains focused on the high-end industrial-grade analog chip market, adopting a flexible patterned wafer delivery model to build long-term sustainable competitiveness. In terms of technology, the Company's strategic goal is to achieve full-stack capabilities encompassing tool iteration, chip design, and process research and development ("R&D"), while integrating proprietary IP throughout the entire workflow to achieve full-process autonomy and control. Building on this foundation, the Company strives to become an analog chip enterprise with global competitiveness.

During the Reporting Period, the Company continued to optimize its semi-automated chip design methods based on machine learning and launched new industrial-grade products with efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This effectively advanced its customer demand-oriented business expansion strategy, consolidating its differentiated competitive advantages and maintaining profitability in the industrial-grade analog chip sector characterised by R&D cost-sensitivity.

For the Reporting Period, the Company recorded a revenue of RMB584.1 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 0.9%, and a gross profit margin of 51.7%.

  • 20 -

The Company’s revenue increased by 0.9% from RMB578.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB584.1 million for the Reporting Period. On one hand, demand for high-end industrial analog chips continued to grow steadily, with import substitution further deepening. On the other hand, amid fluctuations in the external trade environment, the Company proactively adjusted its distributor structure. Overall, the Company maintained an operational pace characterised by stability with progress in 2025.

Below are details of changes in our revenue by product line and revenue by sales channel:

The Company’s revenue from sales of power management products increased by 1.4% from RMB507.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB514.9 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the launch of new products and increase in customer demand.

The Company’s revenue from sales of signal chain products increased by 7.1% from RMB64.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB69.3 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the launch of new products and the growth of downstream demand, and these products returned to a relatively stable growth trend during the Reporting Period.

The Company’s revenue from sales to distributors decreased by 17.7% from RMB468.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB385.2 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the decrease in demand from distribution customers and the Company’s focus on expanding new direct sales customers.

The Company’s revenue from direct sales increased by 79.4% from RMB110.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB198.9 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the fact that the Company expanded its new direct sales customer base in 2025, resulting in a substantial increase in direct sales revenue.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s cost of sales increased by 3.7% from RMB271.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB281.9 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the increase in the revenue of the Company during the Reporting Period which led to the increased cost of sales accordingly.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Based on the foregoing, the Company's gross profit decreased by 1.5% from RMB306.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB302.3 million for the Reporting Period, and the gross profit margin decreased from 53.0% for the year ended 31 December 2024 to 51.7% for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the fact that our gross profits and gross profit margins largely depend on the variety of our product mix, as we provide multi-variety products in small batches to our customers. As the Company expanded its business scale, the Company's inventory balance also increased accordingly, and provision for inventory impairment was higher than that of last year, which led to a decrease in gross profit margin accordingly. In terms of the provision for inventory impairment, it is mainly due to the expansion of the Company's business scale, the inventory amount and the aging of inventory have also increased accordingly. Therefore, more provision for inventory was accrued during the Reporting Period as compared with that of the same period last year. Eliminating the impact of provision for inventory impairment, there was no significant change in gross profit margin during the Reporting Period as compared with that of the last year. Below are breakdowns of gross profit and gross profit margin of product portfolio by business line:

Year ended 31 December
2025 2024
Gross profit RMB'000 Gross profit margin % Gross profit RMB'000 Gross profit margin %
Sales of power management products 262,473 51.0 268,687 52.9

Profit before Taxation

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s profit before taxation decreased by 26.5% from RMB166.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB122.0 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the recognition by the Company of share-based payment expenses of RMB51.0 million for R&D personnel during the Reporting Period.

Income Tax

The Company recorded no income tax for the year ended 31 December 2025, primarily due to the Company’s entitlement to preferential tax, such as favorable income tax and additional deduction on R&D expenses for the Reporting Period.

Profit for the Year

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s profit for the year decreased by 26.8% from RMB166.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 to RMB122.0 million for the Reporting Period, primarily due to the recognition by the Company of share-based payment expenses of RMB51.0 million for R&D personnel during the Reporting Period.


Non-HKFRS Measure

To supplement the Company's historical financial information which are presented in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards, the Company also uses adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure) as an additional financial measure, which is not required by, or presented in accordance with, HKFRS Accounting Standards. The Company believes that this non-HKFRS measure facilitates comparisons of operating performance from period to period by eliminating potential impacts of certain items. The Company believes that this measure provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's results of operations in the same manner as it helps our management. However, the Company's presentation of adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The use of this non-HKFRS measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and shareholders should not consider it in isolation from, or as substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under HKFRS Accounting Standards.

The Company defines adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure) as profit for the year excluding equity-settled share-based payments and net foreign exchange gains or losses. The presentation of adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure), together with the relevant HKFRS measures, is intended to eliminate the impact of items that are non-cash in nature or not directly indicative of the core operating performance. Specifically, equity-settled share-based payments is a non-cash expense that does not require future cash outlays, while net foreign exchange gains or losses primarily result from market fluctuations and do not reflect the Company's underlying business operations.

The following table reconciles our adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure) for the year presented to profit for the year:

Year ended 31 December
2025
RMB'000 2024
RMB'000
Profit for the year 122,005 166,601
Add:
Equity-settled share-based payments 52,706 174
Net foreign exchange loss/(gain) 14,247 (7,267)
Adjusted net profit (non-HKFRS measure) 188,958 159,508

However, external competition will also intensify, and changes in the external trade environment will have a profound impact. The Company will remain market-demand oriented, continuously improving its product coverage and competitiveness. Concurrently, the Company will further strengthen its capabilities in full chain industrial layout to ensure that it can adequately respond to challenges from all fronts, including the supply chain, amid a complex external environment.

To achieve the above vision and address the related challenges, on the supply side, the Company will continue its transition from a Fabless to a Fablite model, maintaining moderate investment in process capabilities. It is expected that this will gradually align the existing R&D system with the development of in-house process capabilities. On the demand side, the Company will continue to leverage its advantages accumulated over a long period in the industrial sector to explore emerging market areas, particularly those represented by artificial intelligence.
