EDIFIER(002351) 金融界·2025-04-11 02:39Core Insights - The company reported a total revenue of 2.943 billion yuan in 2024, representing a year-on-year growth of 9.27%, while net profit attributable to shareholders was 449 million yuan, up 7.06% year-on-year. However, the growth rates have significantly slowed compared to previous years, particularly net profit growth which dropped from 70.17% in 2023 to 7.06% in 2024, indicating substantial market pressure and operational challenges [1][2]. Revenue Performance - The revenue growth rate for 2024 was significantly lower than the 21.64% growth in 2023. The earphone and headset segment, which is the main revenue source, generated 1.841 billion yuan, with a mere growth of 2.79%, far below the previous year's performance. In contrast, the audio segment achieved 999 million yuan in revenue, growing by 20.39%, but this segment only accounted for 33.9% of total revenue, failing to offset the weakness in the earphone business [2][3]. Market Challenges - The overseas market accounted for 23.07% of revenue in 2024, with domestic sales making up 76.93%. The recent increase in tariffs by the U.S. government poses a significant challenge to the company's growth prospects in international markets. Although the company has established a presence in over 80 countries, the sales scale and market share remain limited. The increased tariffs could either reduce price competitiveness if passed on to consumers or compress profit margins if absorbed by the company [3][4]. Cost and Profitability - Sales expenses surged to 380 million yuan, a 31.52% increase, primarily due to rising advertising and labor costs. Although management expenses decreased, R&D expenses rose by 9.16% to 184 million yuan. The increase in costs has put considerable pressure on the company's profitability, leading to a significant decline in net profit growth [4][7]. Quality Issues - The company has faced numerous consumer complaints regarding product quality, particularly with earphones and speakers. Reports indicate various quality defects, including frequent issues with earphone connectivity and sound quality. This growing concern over product quality could damage the company's brand image and hinder future growth [8][16].
