In the fiscal year 24, the total revenue of the group reached 807 million yuan, slightly higher than the previous fiscal year. The revenue of the big data platform and solution sector increased by 41.1% year-on-year, while the revenue of the life science solution sector increased by 28.1%. However, the revenue of the health management platform and solution sector decreased due to adjustments in product portfolio. The group's gross profit margin was 42.1%, an increase of 8.0 percentage points year-on-year. By optimizing sales processes and improving R&D efficiency, operational efficiency continued to improve, with sales, administrative, and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue declining. In addition, the adjusted net loss significantly narrowed, the financial situation is healthy, with net assets of 40.9 billion yuan and sufficient reserve funds. In terms of international markets, the continuous increase in holdings by well-known sovereign wealth funds demonstrates a strong confidence in the company's long-term growth potential.

In the fiscal year 2024, Yidu Tech demonstrated strong performance in its three major business segments: big data platform and solutions, life science solutions, and health management platform and solutions. The revenue of the big data platform and solutions segment reached RMB 314 million, an increase of 41.4% year-on-year, and has collaborated with top domestic hospitals to improve clinical research efficiency.

In its operating report for the fiscal year 2024, Yidu Technology emphasized its exploration and independent innovation in the field of artificial intelligence technology in the medical field, especially the investment in resources for large-scale models in medical verticals. The company actively expanded its disease research field, deepened the synergy of the three major business segments, improved the core customer repeat rate, and refined its operations to reduce costs and increase efficiency. At the same time, Yidu Technology pays attention to ecological construction, empowering the industry with medical intelligence to form a closed loop. Regarding algorithm filing, CEO Wang explained that this is not only an embrace of regulation, but also a demonstration of responsibility to users, helping to gain customer trust and expand business. In addition, Yidu Technology safeguards content security and user rights by establishing a content review mechanism and an emergency response mechanism to avoid the risk of personal information leakage.

The company is committed to solving the computing power problem in application landing, and is the first company in China to adapt high-end mainstream chips domestically and internationally. It focuses on long-term pathological and long-term case understanding of diseases and the construction of COT capabilities. In the field of medical health, the company's large models excel in medical knowledge question answering, language understanding, and medical safety and ethical aspects. Faced with the US chip embargo and the suspension of OpenAI services, the company has taken deep embrace of domestic chips and algorithm frameworks for engineering optimization to improve performance while ensuring the success rate of model training. Regarding market value and buyback plans, the company, under the premise of compliance with listing rules, opportunistically repurchases stocks according to market conditions to protect the long-term value of investors.

In 2022, due to the impact of the macro environment, the field of medical informatization and intelligence was greatly affected, with limited order and delivery capabilities. Although there were signs of recovery in 2023, hospitals were affected by anti-corruption policies, leading to slow processes and project approval, resulting in a slow recovery pace. By 2024, with the increased intensity of policy requirements and all parties adapting to the new environment, the industry began to steadily recover. Looking ahead to 2025, continued stable growth is expected, primarily based on the national promotion of digital economy and artificial intelligence applications, which has created a huge demand and potential for the generation and application of medical data. Furthermore, technological upgrades, especially the application of large language model technology, will greatly improve data governance efficiency and delivery quality, reduce costs, and further drive the development of medical informatization and intelligence.

In the context of the pharmaceutical industry performing generally and the fierce competition in the European market, the company is committed to exploring a sustainable growth path in the life sciences sector. The company believes that, despite the challenges facing the industry, the demand for full-cycle clinical services has not been fully met, and there are great opportunities for new technologies to be translated into clinical applications. In response to the cautious attitude towards the primary market caused by the current secondary market mechanism, which affects the research and development of innovative drugs and biotech investment, the company proposes to improve research and development efficiency and precision by using formal research data analysis and insights, achieving more effective research and development with less budget. The company aims to maintain steady growth by providing DCT solutions, collaborating with top hospitals to establish disease-specific data platforms, leveraging the capabilities of professional teams, unlocking potential capabilities, and meeting unmet clinical needs. At the same time, the company actively cooperates with international pharmaceutical companies, providing effective output through deep communication and collaboration, utilizing digital technology and infrastructure, and achieving a precise focus strategy.

In this roadshow, Yitu Technology shared its product's iterative and upgrading path based on large models, expanding from a data center to an AI center, realizing a dual-center strategy. By strengthening data governance, not only has the search analysis technology been optimized, but the governance mode for training and application of large-element models has also been upgraded. In the future, the data center and AI center will form a closed loop from data algorithms to applications, accelerating product development. In addition, Yitu Technology's development is highly compatible with the needs of medical regulatory agencies and core hospitals, helping to promote the intelligent and high-quality development of the medical industry. The company is confident in the future development of medical intelligence, committed to launching products needed by doctors, governments, and industries.
