On March 28, 2026, leading fintech firm Hundsun Technologies Inc. released its annual report for 2025. The financial results present a contradictory picture: while total operating revenue fell for the second consecutive year, dropping 12.13% year-on-year to 5.783 billion yuan, net profit attributable to shareholders increased 18.01% to 1.231 billion yuan, with non-GAAP net profit rising 21.46%.
Behind this divergence between profit growth and revenue contraction, what performance concerns might this significant capital markets IT service provider be concealing?
The growth in net profit was largely driven by cost reduction measures. In 2025, Hundsun Technologies' total operating revenue reached 5.783 billion yuan, down 12.13% year-on-year. Notably, this marks the second consecutive year of declining revenue growth. Data shows that from 2023 to 2025, the company's year-on-year revenue changes were 11.98%, -9.62%, and -12.13% respectively, indicating not only a failure to reverse the downward trend but an acceleration of the decline.
In sharp contrast, the profit side showed improvement. The company's full-year net profit attributable to shareholders was 1.231 billion yuan, up 18.01% year-on-year; non-GAAP net profit was 1.013 billion yuan, an increase of 21.46%. Huatai Securities noted in a research report that this divergence is primarily attributable to the company's proactive strategic contraction and expense control. During the reporting period, the company's sales expenses, administrative expenses, and R&D expenses decreased by 21.72%, 18.99%, and 11.33% year-on-year, respectively.
Breaking down by business segment, Hundsun's traditional core businesses experienced almost across-the-board declines. Revenue from wealth technology services was 1.320 billion yuan, down 7.72% year-on-year; asset management technology services revenue was 1.257 billion yuan, a significant decrease of 19.82%; while risk and platform technology services revenue plummeted 32.33%. This directly reflects the industry-wide scenario in 2025 of contracting IT spending by financial institutions and weak downstream demand.
Huatai Securities' report pointed out, "The independent and controllable adaptation and transformation of core systems for financial informatization remains in a challenging phase, with extended testing cycles delaying revenue recognition. As delivery efficiency continues to improve, related revenues are expected to accelerate their release following an improvement in industry sentiment."
Cash and cash equivalents fell sharply by forty percent. As of the end of 2025, Hundsun Technologies' total assets were 15.907 billion yuan, an increase of 8% year-on-year. However, the asset structure underwent significant changes, with the most notable being a substantial reduction in cash and cash equivalents. At the end of the reporting period, the company's cash balance was 1.364 billion yuan, a sharp decrease of 40.12% compared to 2.277 billion yuan at the end of the previous year.
On the liabilities side, the company's overall leverage decreased. The asset-liability ratio for 2025 was 32.47%, down nearly 4 percentage points year-on-year. The current ratio was 1.34, and the quick ratio was 1.2.
The company's auditor for 2025 was Tianjian会计师事务所 (Special General Partnership), which issued a standard unqualified audit opinion. This indicates that the certified public accountants believe the financial statements fairly present the company's financial position in all material respects. The audit report identified "revenue recognition" and "goodwill impairment" as key audit matters, signifying these areas carried the highest audit risk.
As of the end of 2025, the original book value of the company's goodwill was 922 million yuan, with impairment provisions of 301 million yuan already made, resulting in a net book value of 620 million yuan.
