Suxin Joyful Life Services Co., Ltd. 2025 Annual Report: Key Highlights for Investors

Business Performance and Market Trends

Suxin Joyful Life Services Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2152) operates in the fast-evolving property management and city services sector in China, with both residential and commercial portfolios. The company has responded to intensifying competition in the residential segment by strategically shifting resources toward non-residential and commercial property management projects. This pivot aligns with rising demand for diversified and professional services in industrial parks, office buildings, and commercial complexes.

The company has invested in digitalization, developing an intelligent property management system that integrates business and finance operations, and supports on-site project management. The adoption of advanced technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and IoT is enhancing service quality and operational efficiency, potentially raising entry barriers for new market entrants.

Financial Performance

• Trade and bills receivables increased significantly by 52.1%, from RMB438.3 million at the end of 2024 to RMB666.7 million at the end of 2025. This highlights robust business activity but also warrants attention to credit risk and working capital management.
• Key financial ratios:
  • Gross profit margin: 17.5% (2025, unchanged from 2024), showing resilience despite market pressure.
  • Net profit margin: 7.1% (2025) versus 7.2% (2024), indicating slight contraction mainly due to intensified market competition and possible pricing pressures.
  • Current ratio: 1.3 (2025), down from 1.6 (2024), reflecting tighter liquidity that investors should monitor closely.
  • Gearing ratio: 32.3% (2025), improved from 34.1% (2024), suggesting prudent leverage management.
  • Return on equity: 8.0% (unchanged from 2024).
  • Return on total assets: 3.7% (2025), down from 4.0% (2024).
• Equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income: The company remains exposed to valuation risks in its equity investments. A fair value loss could decrease total and net assets in future periods. To mitigate risk, Suxin applies strict internal controls, including quarterly performance reporting and annual investment reviews.

Dividend Policy & Shareholder Returns

• Final Dividend Proposal for 2025: The Board has recommended a cash dividend of RMB0.3628 per share (tax inclusive), representing approximately 60% of allocable profit, a notable increase from the 30% minimum set out in the dividend policy. This demonstrates management’s strong confidence in the company’s financial health and supports shareholder returns.
