Hikvision, a leading player in the video surveillance and AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) sectors, recently announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. The company's performance reflects consistent growth and a commitment to operational excellence.
In the fiscal year 2025, Hikvision reported total revenues amounting to 92.51 billion RMB (approximately 12.95 billion USD), marking a slight increase of 0.01% year-over-year. Notably, the net profit reached 14.20 billion RMB (around 1.99 billion USD), which is an 18.52% increase compared to the previous year. Such robust financial performance enabled the company to declare a total cash dividend of 10.54 billion RMB (about 1.48 billion USD) for 2025, representing a payout ratio of 74.25%.
As the company transitioned into 2026, the momentum continued. For the first quarter, total revenues hit 20.72 billion RMB (approximately 2.90 billion USD), reflecting an impressive 11.78% growth year-over-year. Simultaneously, the net profit soared by 36.42% to 2.78 billion RMB (about 390 million USD). Furthermore, the gross profit margin exhibited a substantial improvement of 4.16 percentage points, reaching 49.09%.
Hikvision has successfully established itself in the AIoT segment over the past twenty years, with strategic developments yielding tangible results. In 2025, the company earned 27.22 billion RMB (around 3.81 billion USD) from international markets, accounting for 29.42% of its total revenue. Emerging markets, in particular, evidenced sustained growth.
Apart from its predominant video surveillance solutions, Hikvision has expanded into non-video categories such as access control, alarm systems, and commercial displays, which have grown rapidly and become significant revenue drivers. The innovative offerings in these sectors generated revenue of 25.45 billion RMB (roughly 3.56 billion USD), contributing 27.51% to the total.
To enhance its technology portfolio, Hikvision actively advances large-scale AI models via its Guanlan series, which integrates vision, language, and multimodal capabilities. The implementation of audio models in quality inspection has notably increased the detection rate of defective components by 70%. The company has tailored AI applications for various industries, including smart manufacturing, logistics, and environmental protection.
Technological innovation remains a fundamental driver of Hikvision's progress. In 2025, it invested 11.75 billion RMB (approximately 1.65 billion USD) in research and development (R&D), constituting 12.70% of its total revenue. Over the last six years, the cumulative R&D investment has exceeded 8 billion USD, with the company consistently allocating over 10% of its annual revenue for this purpose. This sustained commitment to R&D has significantly enhanced its intellectual property portfolio, amassing 12,981 authorized patents globally by the end of 2025, with 57% classified as invention patents.
As Hikvision marks its 25th anniversary this year, it reaffirms its foundational commitment to doing things right and remaining on the correct path. Moving forward, the company will focus on high-quality growth, continuous innovation, and operational efficiency to deliver long-term value to its clients, partners, and stakeholders worldwide.
