Ziguang Co., Ltd. (stock code: 000938), as a leading information technology company in China, has always been committed to the development and application of core technologies in the digital economy. In 2023, facing the complex and changing background of the global economy, Ziguang Co., Ltd. relied on strong technological innovation capabilities to continue to promote the development of the digital economy and achieved steady performance growth.
In terms of assets and liabilities, the total assets of Ziguang Co., Ltd. increased by 17.82% from 74.063 billion yuan in 2022 to 87.264 billion yuan in 2023, indicating the steady expansion of the company's assets. Total liabilities also increased from 36.235 billion yuan to 47.222 billion yuan, and the balance ratio increased from 48.92% to 54.11%. This change reflects the company's increased financial leverage to support further development. Goodwill remains unchanged, which indicates that the company has maintained a stable strategy in mergers and acquisitions.
Judging from profit data, Ziguang Co., Ltd.'s operating income in 2023 reached 77.308 billion yuan, an increase of 4.39% over the previous year, but operating profit and net profit declined respectively. Operating profit decreased from 4.16 billion yuan last year to 3,678 billion yuan, and net profit also declined slightly. The decline in gross margin and net profit margin, as well as the return on net assets (ROE) from 10.18% to 9.46%, all indicate that the company is facing some profit pressure.
In terms of cash flow, net cash flow from operating activities changed from a positive value of 4,019 billion yuan last year to a negative value of 1,857 billion yuan. This shift may reflect the company's financial pressure to expand the scale of operations and increase investment in R&D.
