The company stated that the change in operating income during the reporting period was mainly due to the mass production of new products, leading to an increase in operating income. However, due to reasons such as the new graphite heat dissipation module not meeting expectations, this resulted in a loss in performance.

 

Furthermore, the company provides research and development, manufacturing, and partial assembly services for precision metal and plastic structural components required for consumer electronics products, including HNB e-cigarette components, for internationally and domestically renowned clients in the consumer electronics field. This year, the shipments in the consumer electronics industry have slowed down, and the overall scale of the industry is stabilizing. However, the level of competition in the industry has not decreased at all, and the gross profit margin of products is still declining, with fluctuation risks remaining.
