Net profit attributable to shareholders reached 840 million yuan, up 20.05 percent from the same period in 2025.
For the third quarter alone, revenue hit 2.96 billion yuan, a 17.03 percent increase. While net profit growth slowed to 2.87 percent during this three-month window, the net profit excluding non-recurring gains showed stronger momentum, rising by 25.64 percent to 369 million yuan, reflecting core operational profitability.
Financial liquidity saw a notable shift as the company’s net cash flow from operating activities turned positive at 52.8 million yuan, compared to a net outflow of 1.04 billion yuan in the prior year. SmartSens continued to invest heavily in innovation, with R&D expenditures increasing by 23.34 percent to 522 million yuan for the nine-month period.
The company’s asset base expanded significantly, ending the period with total assets of 19.62 billion yuan—an 81.29 percent increase from the end of 2025. This growth was largely attributed to proceeds from private equity placement of A-shares.
