For 2245.3032 million yuan.
In 2023, Siro's vehicle customer, Togg, went into production of new energy vehicles, and the market for
Good product feedback led to an increase in battery demand, resulting in a significant increase in Siro's purchases of the company's cell products during the year.
On the cost side, due to the difficulty of importing Chinese suppliers during the 2022 epidemic, Siro
Higher raw material costs due to the increased use of European supply chains in the initial phase, combined with upfront production costs, led to Siro's operating losses in 2023.

The outlook for orders in the second and third quarters was good, with Siro ordering a large number of the company's battery products, but Togg's subsequent orders declined, leading to an increase in Siro inventory and slow payback, which in turn affected cash flow.
Based on the current plan and support for the overall improvement measures of Siro reached between the company and Togg.

(III) explain the specific reasons for the large difference between the gross profit margin of overseas sales and that of domestic sales, and whether it is obviously abnormal from comparable companies in the same industry.
The Company's gross profit margin on overseas sales is higher than that on domestic sales, which is mainly due to the combined effect of various factors such as the level of overseas consumption, high added value of products and product positioning. Overseas new energy vehicles
Price, energy prices are higher than the domestic, driving overseas power battery products pricing is relatively high. At the same time, thanks to the demand for medium and high-end products in overseas markets, such products usually have high technical content and brand value, and the cycle from fixed point to mass production is long and the substitutability is low, so the added value of product research and development is high. in addition, the company is deeply bound with customers, and the customer stickiness is strong, so the price of overseas customers is higher. In addition, overseas customers generally have higher end product positioning and higher pursuit of product performance and quality, which also provides higher market pricing space for products, thus achieving higher gross profit margin.
In summary, the high gross profit margin of overseas sales products is mainly due to the combined effect of multiple factors such as the increase in sales prices, high added value of research and development, and high-end product positioning.
The gross profit margin of domestic and overseas main business of comparable listed companies in the same industry in 2023 is shown in the following table, and the gross profit margin of overseas sales of comparable companies is higher than the gross profit margin of domestic sales:
Enterprise Name Overseas Gross Profit Margin Domestic Gross Profit Margin.
