As shown in the above figure, the operating income of Xinyuan Shares declined in 2018, a year-on-year decrease of 2.08%. The main reason is the decline in chip mass production business revenue. The chip mass production business was affected by the end customer business and sales. In 2017, the product shipment of some customers was basically completed, while its new products were still in the chip design stage in 2018 and did not enter the mass production and shipment stage. Therefore, the revenue of the chip mass production business that year was relatively low. In terms of net profit, Xinyuan Co., Ltd. continued to suffer losses during the reporting period, and the loss range narrowed. The prospectus shows that the losses are mainly due to continuous R&D investment and the scale effect not yet fully demonstrated.
Xinyuan Co., Ltd. 's one-stop chip customization business and semiconductor IP authorization business do not have companies in the same industry with the same or similar businesses in the A-share market. Among them, comparable companies in semiconductor IP licensing business include ARM and CEVA, and comparable companies in chip customization business include Zhiyuan, Creative Electronics, and Shixin.Overall, the gross profit margin of the IP authorization business of core shares is basically the same as that of comparable companies, while the gross profit margin of the chip customization business is significantly lower than the average of comparable companies. The main reason is that the chip customization business of core shares is not mature, and the scale advantages such as reusability have not been fully reflected.
