Sales climbed to CNY 2.87 billion from CNY 2.26 billion year-on-year, showcasing robust growth despite its volatile share price in recent months. However, interest payments are not well covered by EBIT at just twice coverage; this could pose challenges if not addressed. The debt-to-equity ratio has risen significantly over five years from 17% to nearly double that figure at 38%.
