Jingrui Electric Materials Profits soared and market share exceeded 40%​

Jingrui Electric Materials released its quarterly financial report, marking a dramatic turnaround from its performance lows just one year prior. The company’s results reflect not only a surge in profitability but also a decisive advancement in China's push for semiconductor material self-reliance.​
  • Third Quarter (Q3) Revenue:​
    • Ranged to 419 million yuan, a +14.27% year-on-year (yoy) growth.​
  • Net Profit (Q3):​
    • Reached 58.615 million yuan, +938.99% yoy increase.​
  • First Three Quarters (H1+Q3) Financials:​
    • Total revenue: 1.187 billion yuan (+11.92% yoy).​
    • Net profit: 128 million yuan, +19,202.65% yoy growth.​
Revenue by Sector:
High-Purity Chemicals
  • Revenue: Up +22.49% yoy
  • Volume & Shipments:​
    • High-purity hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂): Shipments increased by over 55% year-on-year.​
    • Sales of high-purity sulfuric acid: +86.20% yoy​
    • Sales of high-purity nitric acid: +48.44% yoy​
    • Sales of high-purity ammonia: +8.45% yoy (slower growth, but still positive)​
  • Gross Profit Margin: Increased by 13.43 percentage points — a major structural improvement.​
Photoresist Business
  • Revenue: +12.36% yoy​
  • Product Breakdown:​
    • i-line photoresist: Sales volume and revenue up by over 22% yoy
    • KrF photoresist: Achieved "several times" growth (exact multiplier not specified, but significant)​
    • ArF photoresist: Entered small-batch shipments, with samples sent for verification — early-stage commercialization​
In the field of photoresists, Jingrui Electronic Materials boasts a comprehensive product portfolio, encompassing broad-spectrum UV, g-line, i-line, KrF, and ArF . Its i-line photoresist is already being supplied on a large scale to major wafer fabs , while KrF photoresist has also entered mass production and shipment. Jingrui Electronic Materials has also begun small-batch shipments of its more advanced ArF photoresist, with samples being sent for verification . Jingrui Electronic Materials is one of the very few companies in China to have made substantial progress in the high-end photoresist field.

International Breakthroughs​

  • Products have reached SEMI G5-level standards (world-class purity), matching or exceeding global benchmarks.​
  • Supplies key domestic chipmakers including:​
    • Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC)
    • SMIC (Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation)
    • Hua Hong Semiconductor
High-purity H₂O₂, sulfuric acid, ammonia, and nitric acid all meet SEMI G5 purity requirements.​
  • Export Activity: Products exported to Japan and Southeast Asian markets, signaling international competitiveness beyond China's domestic demand.​
  • One of the few global players capable of manufacturing a wide range of G5-grade semiconductor wet chemicals.​
  • High-purity hydrogen peroxide:​
    • Metal impurity content as low as <1 ppt (parts per trillion) — approaching detection limits​
    • Industry-leading quality for use in advanced lithography processes​
This level of purity is essential for high-end chip manufacturing, where even trace contaminants can cause defects.​
  • R&D investment remains strong and strategically aligned with China’s "Chip Independent & Controllable Strategy" (chip self-reliance policy).​

Production Scale & Integration

  • Built four production bases across the country.​
  • Total annual production capacity: nearly 300,000 tons
  • Industry-leading scale enables end-to-end integrated production, from:​
    • Upstream industrial-grade raw materials​
    • To downstream semiconductor-grade products​
This vertical integration reduces dependency on external suppliers and enhances cost control and supply security.

IMO most likely outcome is this:
- Dutch goverment agree to pay Wingtech for Nexperia Europe shares they stole, thereby they get to retain control of Nexperia Europe
- Nexperia China becomes (remain) independ entity, China relax export ban on Nexperia China, thereby solving automaker problems
- Netherland will spend 2 to 6 month discovering its not easy to build packaging plant with billion chip output, after which, being unable to keep Nexperia Europe operating without sales, they will attempts to sell their German and UK fabs to another semi company
- Only Chinese semi will bid or nobody bids, in either case they wont be able to sell them
- Nexperia Europe closes, German and UK fab shutdown, Nexperia China only survivor. China basically take over 100% Nexperia without European fabs.
- Netherland end up paying Wingtech to get rid of Nexperia Europe.

It might seem far fetched for Dutch to pay Wingtech just to lose everything, but thats only if they knew Chinese packaging plants are critical and not someting they can afford to spin up in a short time. If they knew rhis they wouldnt have started the whole fiasco to begin with.

With Nexperia it is a clear no turning back point.

European automotive customers will not trust Nexperia anymore as long as it does not change ownership, Chinese ownership will not trust Dutch (or any other European government) anymore, and withouth European customers also to keep Nexperia makes little sense.

The most likely outcome is of an ownership change (due to a sell, not expropriation). Who will buy Nexperia? IMHO US companies already bought the UK fab after Nexperia was forced to retreat..may be they will also buy Nexperia, and Europe will lose yet another firm, one of the very few remaining in chip business.

Really an ugly story this of Nexperia, a net loss for Europe, very dumb decision.

Nexperia is Chinese for good now that its been politically elevated to Huawei level, its not going anywhere. Theres also more than enough Chinese EV business to keep Nexperia profitable without any European customers, the only question is will Europeans be able to sell off the dead branch in Europe or have to eat the loses, and to a lesser extend, if European auto will survive without access to Nexperia.

This is an European problem and only European problem, if Europe surrenders, China wins, if Europe dies, China also win. Europe's fatal mistake is grossly overestimating their relevance.

What I still don’t understand is why the Dutch government chose that path. It seems they misread the dynamics of the industry and the broader business environment. Was this simply a case of following Washington’s lead?

As you noted, trust between the EU and China has eroded significantly, and rebuilding it will take a very long time.

From Beijing’s perspective, the EU appears to lack a coherent foreign policy. So why engage with Brussels at all, when it’s more efficient to deal directly with Washington, even on matters that affect European interests?

This is not elevated to huawei level. Wingtech simply isn’t important enough for that to be the case.

Chinese goverment is currently starving the entire western auto industry and refused to even discuss any outcome other than Dutch caputulation, thats Huawei level goverment response. Its not about if Wingtech is as important as Huawei, its about if the west can harm any Chinese company regardless of importance.

Nexperia produced 100+ billion chips annual. its very critical for basic functionality in a wide range of electronics globally especially automobile industry. so any disruption of supply could literally halt Japanese/German automobile industries.

well, China clearly will not just allow confiscation of its companies abroad. That's a really dangerous precedence. It's in fact good for Europeans to understand that if they want future Chinese investment, they don't confiscate existing ones.

Now, we are going to have to wait to see how this situation gets resolved. I really don't see the point of comparing this to Huawei situation. In fact, this "flag waving" is a waste of this thread's space. So, I'm going to delete some of these posts, since they are not really relevant.

It should be clear after tiktok saga that China will not allow a forced sale. There is no way China is allowing sale of Nexperia after all that has happened. They will rather let the company die completely to make a point. The only way this ends is a complete climbdown by the dutch and then Wingtech slowly moves out Nexperia from Europe. The alternative is China fully retaliating, which hasn't happened yet. China hasn't taken over a dutch company inside China.
