announced its 2024 third-quarter report. Data showed that the company achieved operating income of 1.395 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 11.25%; net profit attributable to shareholders reached 39.3688 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 204.97%, continuing the growth momentum in the first half of the year. The pace of performance growth accelerated and continued to advance rapidly in the third quarter
At the same time, the company's overseas business expansion has achieved remarkable results. Among them, the flexible transparent conductive material business continued to expand overseas customers during the reporting period, driving revenue to increase by approximately RMB 30.752 million, a year-on-year increase of approximately 27.08%; the nano-texture material business benefited from its application in the global main models of a certain international leading European automobile brand, with revenue increasing by approximately RMB 27.9404 million, a year-on-year increase of approximately 656.68%. With the increase in subsequent application brands and models, the scale of revenue is expected to further expand.
In terms of new micro-nano materials in the fields of consumer electronics and automobiles, the light-guiding materials business continued to adjust its revenue structure, increasing the proportion of high-gross-profit businesses and turning losses into profits year-on-year; the flexible transparent conductive materials business also saw a significant year-on-year increase in gross profit margin as the yield rate increased and the business direction was optimized.
Lithography equipment is expected to usher in an explosion in the fourth quarter of this year,
Suzhou Dawei's micro-nano optical high-end equipment mainly includes two product lines: laser direct writing lithography equipment and nanoimprint lithography equipment, all of which are independently developed, designed and produced by the company. Through continuous equipment iteration and upgrading over the years, a modular, knowledge-intensive, upgradeable and rapidly configurable micro-nano manufacturing platform has been gradually built, providing core technical support for the development and maintenance of technology and products.

n the direct writing laser lithography equipment market, although the global market is dominated by European and American manufacturers, Suzhou Dawei Ge has achieved a certain degree of fame and market share in the domestic scientific research field with its unique writing mode and large-format micro-nano 3D structure preparation capabilities, and has gradually attracted the attention of corporate customers.
At present, the company's direct writing laser lithography equipment has been sold to some leading companies in the industry, and the company is also actively expanding the application of direct writing lithography in the field of semiconductor masks and IC substrates.
As one of the first companies in China to realize the industrialization of nanoimprint technology, Suzhou Weige's nanoimprint lithography equipment is widely used in the manufacture of micro-nano optical materials, naked-eye 3D displays, AR waveguides and other optical components, and closely follows the development trend of international nanoimprint technology. In addition, the company is actively exploring the application prospects of nanoimprint in cutting-edge fields such as microfluidics, biochips and integrated circuit manufacturing.
There is no doubt that lithography equipment is a strategic focus of Su Dawei's business. In recent years, the company has been increasing its sales of lithography equipment. In 2023, sales revenue of various types of equipment increased by 266.71% year-on-year to 31.9115 million yuan; in the first quarter of 2024, sales increased by approximately 9 million yuan year-on-year, an increase of approximately 277.11%.
