On April 1st, JASIC published its financial results for 2022, which showed a 1.38% year-over-year dip in the total operating revenue and a 12.04% decrease in the net profit attributed to shareholders. The overall financial performance was not up to expectation due to the further aggravated macroeconomic downturn. However, JASIC took several measures to mitigate the impact and maintained a relatively stable operation.

2022 Overall Financial Performance

JASIC total operating revenue reached RMB1.23 billion ($177.03 million*) in 2022, a 1.38% decline compared to last year.

Period	2020	2021	2022
Total operating revenue	1,020,262,386.15	1,249,347,145.27	1,232,096,018.40

Operating income declined significantly by 11.72% YoY to RMB200.13 million. Total profits substantially decreased by 12.65% YoY to RMB198.25 million. Net profit attributable to shareholders fell by 12.04% YoY to RMB176.34 million. Earnings per share declined by 12.20% to RMB0.36 compared to the prior-year period.

Period	2020	2021	2022
Operating income	192,372,599.64	226,695,124.83	200,133,493.68
Total profits	188,598,663.38	226,964,100.10	198,246,636.01
Net profit attributable to shareholders	162,547,422.34	200,473,971.95	176,341,147.69
Earnings per share	0.34	0.41	0.36

The decline in revenue was primarily due to the weak market demand and intensified competition within the industry. The decline in profit was caused by the increase in raw material price and sales promotion cost.

2022 Overseas Sales Performance

Export sales total revenue reached RMB610.51 million($87.72 million*), showing a 3.12% increase year over year. And the operating cost rose to RMB406.57 million, up 4.15% compared to 2021.

Period	2020	2021	2022
Operating revenue	465,978,549.93	592,055,711.56	610,506,776.58
Operating cost	288,236,143.43	390,388,299.45	406,574,686.03

The increase in revenue can be attributed to several factors, including timely adjusted sales strategies, new product launch and exhibitions, effective communication with key accounts, and some breakthrough in the sales of several regional markets.

Risks and Solutions

Here are some significant risks and related solutions for the company’s operations.

1. The risk of economic downturn
World trade has been impeded by negative factors such as the international economy slowdown, trade protectionism, inflation, geopolitical frictions and weakening global trade momentum. To manage the downsides of economic downturn, JASIC will optimize the distribution channel construction, conduct market research, strengthen product management and promotion, implement product diversification and invest in technological innovation, new product development and product upgrades to meet the changing market demands.

2.Accounts receivable risk
Due to economic downturn and weak market demands, some dealers are struggling with capital turnover, resulting in an increase in the balance of accounts receivable and the risk of bad debt loss. To avoid such risk, JASIC will improve the management of payments to ensure the safety of company assets.

3.Procurement cost fluctuation risk
Commodity prices are uncertain in the long term, affected by factors such as global economy recovery dynamics, geopolitical risks and currency policies at home and abroad. The uncertainty makes it hard to execute effective control of procurement cost. To face the challenges, JASIC has established a strategic material management task force to adjust material inventory in a timely manner and speed up the localized sourcing process of key components. JASIC has also established partnerships with suppliers and implemented supply chain diversification to minimize the cost fluctuation risk.

4.Foreign exchange risk
The fluctuations in RMB exchange rate will have an impact on the company’s gains and losses. To mitigate the risk, JASIC will keep a close eye on the foreign currency trend, maintain a reasonable holding of foreign currency assets and choose proper exchange hedging tools.

Influenced by the sluggish macroeconomic environment, JASIC has suffered some pressure in the operation, but JAISC is still on track to achieve its strategic goals while taking measures to tackle the following main risks.

1. The risk of economic downturn
The resurgence of pandemic in China, intensified international geopolitical frictions, and the slow down of international economy have posed great challenges for the sales of the company. To manage the downsides of economic downturn, JASIC will optimize the channel construction, execute product diversification and invest in technology innovation to adapt the changing market demand.
2.Accounts receivable risk
Affected by economic downturn and weak market demand, some dealers have found difficulty in capital turnover which leads to the increase in the balance of accounts receivable and the risk of its bad debts. To avoid the risk, JASIC will improve the management of payments to ensure the safety of company assets.
3.Procurement cost fluctuation risk
Uncertain commodity price in the long term due to political, economic and pandemic factors has caused difficulties to the effective control of procurement cost. In order to meet the challenges, strategic material management task force is established to adjust material inventory timely and proceed key component localization. JASIC has also built partnership with suppliers and implement supply chain diversification to minimize the cost fluctuation risk.
4.Foreign exchange risk
The fluctuations in RMB exchange rate will have an impact on the company’s gains and losses. To mitigate the risk, JASIC will keep a close eye on the foreign currency trend, maintain a reasonable holding of foreign currency assets and choose proper exchange hedging tools.

A New Era

On March 31st, 2022, JASIC released its latest EVO20 range in a hybrid event held simultaneously in Frankfurt and Shenzhen. Both locations have physical venues for the event, and online live stream of the event was broadcasted on JASIC’s official Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and WeChat. The new product launch marks a new era in the company’s internationalization in which the JASIC brand and its new product offering are front and center.

Being the first Chinese welding company to launch new product in an international hybrid event, JASIC has incorporated the concept of “New Standard of UX in Welding” into the new EVO20 range. This new standard comprises of solid welding performance, redefined industrial design and human-machine interface, plus high standard in reliability & sustainability.

Center of the Conversation

The new product range currently comprised of 14 basic single-phase models, and 3-phase models are also projected for future release. The all new rugged and robust appearance with the new control panel designs looks nothing like any of JASIC’s previous models, and with innovative features in welding performance and human-machine interaction these new machines have surely aroused interest amongst offline visitors of the event as well as online live stream viewers.

Meaning of EVO20

The new releases have “evolved“ significantly compared to all previous JASIC models, and thus “EVO” is in their name. As for the number 20, it not only signifies a new beginning (2.0 vs 1.0) for JASIC but also announces the company’s ambition to set new standard of UX for professional-grade welding machines in the 2020s.

Beyond Frankfurt and Shenzhen

Major distributors and industry influencers from all over Europe attended the Frankfurt event, with their Chinese counterparts gathered in JASIC’s corporate showroom and joined Frankfurt via online video stream. Mr. Pan LEI the president of JASIC and Anssi Rantasalo the vice president of JASIC have given a passionate presentation to a global audience in Shenzhen and Frankfurt respectively. From Shenzhen to Frankfurt, JASIC has begun to renew its story for the global welding market. And it will surely continue to write the new JASIC story beyond Europe.

JASIC announced its 2021 Q3 financial report on October, 26th. This quarter JASIC has reached a 0.21% YoY growth rate in total operating revenue and a 34.76% YoY growth rate in net profit attributable to shareholders. Global supply chain disruption and international shipping crisis are the major headwinds that have affected JASIC’s international business. However, JASIC’s lead in China’s professional welding machine market has offset the negative factors in the current international trade environment.

Earnings per share	$0.02	$0.01	$0.02

The gross profit margin was 29.42%, a 1.63 % decline month on month and a 4.37% decline year on year. The net profit margin was 19.41%, a 1.15% month on month and a 4.37% year on year.

This third quarter has been somewhat challenging for most manufacturing sectors worldwide. In the case of JASIC, the continuous price hike in global commodity, the international shipping crisis, and China’s recent power crunch affecting many of its suppliers have been weighting down JASIC’s 2021Q3 financial performance. The successful launch of the JET20 products in the domestic market is an indispensable hedge against the volatile international market. Despite the current difficulties, JASIC is confident in keeping its lead in the domestic market while boldly seizing new opportunities in the international market with new strategies.

There are two main reasons accounting for the financial performance.
a, Domestic sales have been well boosted by successful new product launch.
b, Overseas sales have kept its momentum due to increased customer demand and effective strategies to mitigate the effect of supply chain disruption and surging international shipping cost.

Although JASIC’s financial outcomes have been encouraging in 2021H1, it will have to deal with the following challenges in the mid and long term.
a. Supply chain disruption and violent fluctuation of international shipping fees increase JASIC’s operating costs.
b. The RMB’s long-term appreciation which puts more pressure on export sales.
c. Falling interest rate which results in reduced financial investment gains.
d. Uncertainties from the spread of COVID-19 Delta and Lambda variants, geopolitical risks and international trade frictions.

Although JASIC has achieved better-than-expected results in the first quarter of 2021, its exposure to the major risks in the current global economy cannot be overlooked.
Current major risks are as follows:
a. Negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on overseas sales
b. Volatile commodity prices have impacted the purchase price and lead time of raw material, leading to product manufacture and delivery difficulties.
c. Exchange gains and financial investment gains have been affected by fluctuating exchange rates and interest rates.
Confronting these challenges, JASIC has taken proper measures to mitigate risks and maintain steady progress in achieving its strategic business objectives.

JASIC published its 2020 financial report on March 20th, 2021. Facing unprecedented uncertainty posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has remained steady in revenue growth with controllable loss in profit.

2020 Performance

JASIC showed a steady growth in the total operating revenue. It reported total operating revenue of USD 158.76 million of 2020, a 5.67% increase, as compared to USD 150.25 million in 2019.

Looking Back

From a small factory with merely 150 staffs back in 2005, JASIC has grown to become an international business exporting to more than 80 countries and regions, with a $139 million annual turnover* and over 1000 staffs worldwide. During these 15 years, JASIC sets itself apart from the competition with its dedication to be an indispensable contributor to the world’s welding industry.

The story started with JASIC’s founder Mr. Pan Lei, who has dedicated himself to the welding industry since 1992. Unsatisfied with the status quo of China’s welding industry, he made a determination to set up a business to produce advanced inverter welding machines in 2005. And with that idea, JASIC was born.

Mr. Pan Lei

Although JASIC ran in the red in its first year, the situation soon turned around as a result of a series of opportunities and the ability to seize them. In 2008, the company has reached its first defining moment: JASIC products were chosen for the construction of Beijing Bird’s Nest Stadium for the Olympic Games.

Small but ambitious, JASIC has rejected the takeover bid from Lincoln Electric, the world leader in welding equipment. This determination to be independent has paid off: the company has achieved a CAGR of 29.97%* from 2006 to 2019, expanded its operation to 8 countries, and has become the parent of 5 fully-owned subsidiaries.

Global sales network

Embrace the Future

JASIC fully embraces the new development of welding industry, such as digital transformation, Internet of Things(IoT) and robotics. The company will roll out a full-digital, cloud empowered inverter welding machine in the second half of 2020. An advance full-digital welding machine range is set to be launched in 2021.

As for the further future, JASIC has set its eyes on IoT empowered industrial welding automation solution. The 15th anniversary of JASIC coincides with the most economically challenging year in the past three decades, but the company has managed to maintain its growth momentum. Always looking forward, JASIC is well on its path to become a world-class welding solution provider.
