SHANGHAI, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, JCET Group (SSE: 600584), a leading global provider of integrated circuit (IC) back-end manufacturing and technology services, released its 2025 Annual Report. JCET reported record full-year revenue of RMB 38.87 billion in 2025, up 8.1% year-on-year. Profit before tax (PBT) totaled RMB 1.74 billion, up 5.4% year-on-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 1.57 billion.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue was RMB 10.2 billion, up 1.4% quarter-on-quarter. Net profit attributable to shareholders for the quarter was RMB 610 million, representing a 26.6% increase from the previous quarter.

In 2025, JCET maintained a steady and progressive operating approach, delivering another record-high annual revenue and achieving its third consecutive year of revenue growth since 2023. During the reporting period, the company’s operations across both domestic and overseas sites remained stable, with capacity utilization staying at a high level. Advanced packaging capacity, including wafer-level packaging, continued to run at high load. Revenue associated with advanced packaging reached RMB 27 billion, marking a new high. JCET further increased investment in high-end advanced packaging technologies and capacity build-out, which, together with fluctuations in certain raw material prices, led to temporary cost pressures. However, as higher value-added businesses scaled and high-end capacity came on-stream, the company’s profitability improved quarter by quarter through the year. Looking ahead, JCET will continue to assess market demand and maintain forward-looking investments in frontier technologies and critical capacity build-out, further strengthening its competitiveness over the mid to long term.

From an application perspective, JCET deepened its presence in high-growth segments including high-performance computing, storage, automotive electronics, and power management. The company advanced the introduction and mass production of new products in areas such as co-packaged optics (CPO), vertical power delivery modules, and intelligent driving. In 2025, revenue from the computing electronics, industrial and medical electronics, and automotive electronics segments increased 42.6%, 40.6% and 31.7% respectively year-on-year. During the year, JCET completed production line readiness at JCET Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., supporting automotive-grade and robotics applications. Meanwhile, JCET Microelectronics (Jiangyin) Co., Ltd. accelerated its capacity ramp to support high-end intelligent application demand.

In R&D, JCET drove systematic breakthroughs in critical advanced packaging technologies while further strengthening collaborative innovation across the industry chain. Total R&D expenses for 2025 reached RMB 2.09 billion, up 21.4% year-on-year. The company will further increase R&D investment in key technology areas, including high-density multi-dimensional heterogeneous integration, advanced bonding and interconnect technologies, and glass substrates, while accelerating the translation of R&D achievements into scalable manufacturing and commercial applications. To promote an open and collaborative advanced packaging ecosystem, JCET successfully hosted the Advanced Packaging Developers Conference (APDC) in Singapore, establishing a platform for technology exchange and joint innovation to speed implementation.

Mr. Li Zheng, CEO of JCET Group, said, “Over the past year, amid a shifting demand mix and cost volatility, JCET remained focused on application-led upgrades in advanced packaging and continued to steadily improve the quality of its operations. In 2026, JCET will capitalize on growth opportunities in high-performance computing, storage, and embodied intelligence, speeding the translation of technology breakthroughs into mass-production capability and incremental revenue. We will also further raise utilization and operating efficiency in our high-end capacity to strengthen the core competitiveness that supports long-term growth.”

ABU DHABI, UAE, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the leading blockchain company behind the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, today announced its participation in and support of Operation Atlantic, the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA)-led international law enforcement operation targeting cryptocurrency and investment scammers.

Binance, along with other private industry partners and law enforcement agencies, joined Operation Atlantic, a week-long event and effort co-hosted by the NCA, US Secret Service, Ontario Provincial Police and Ontario Securities Commission. The operation focused on identifying victims who have lost, or were at risk of losing, cryptocurrency through approval phishing scams. This type of scam occurs when criminals deceive victims into granting wallet access under the guise of investment opportunities.

On-site at the NCA’s London headquarters, Binance’s Special Investigations team deployed investigative support, including live account screening and proactive scam intelligence, as part of the international law enforcement operation. The operation identified more than 20,000 victims across the UK, Canada and the United States with over $12 million in suspected criminal proceeds frozen.

The Binance Special Investigations team on the ground operated in real-time—screening and identifying thousands of victims on behalf of the operation, delivering rapid victim identification to support law enforcement outreach and intervention efforts.

In addition to victim screening, Binance provided actionable intelligence on potential bad actors to assist with asset seizure efforts and conducted proactive research that identified scam websites still actively defrauding victims at the time of the operation. No funds were seized or frozen from Binance accounts as the criminal proceeds targeted by the operation were held outside of the Binance platform.

“Operation Atlantic is a powerful example of what is possible when international agencies and private industry work side by side,” said NCA Deputy Director of Investigations Miles Bonfield in its official press release. “This intensive action has led to the safeguarding of thousands of victims in the UK and overseas, stopped criminals in their tracks and helped save others from losing their funds. “We know that fraudsters operate globally and, together with our international partners, so will the NCA to target them wherever they are based.”

“Approval phishing is one of the most damaging types of scams targeting crypto users today, and Operation Atlantic underscores how effective crime fighting is possible when private and public partners move together to stop fraud at the source,” said Binance Senior Regional Advisor for EMEA Flavio Tonon. “The inherent transparency of the blockchain makes it difficult for criminals to hide for long while exploiting victims. We are proud to have played a meaningful role in protecting thousands of potential victims.”

Binance continues to work closely with law enforcement agencies globally to further protect the blockchain ecosystem from bad actors and ensure a secure environment in the digital assets space to advance security and innovation together. In 2025, Binance supported more than 71,000 law enforcement requests and assisted in the confiscation of more than $131 million in illicit funds.
