External environment pressure, internal business strategy adjustment, short-term performance pressure

In terms of the external environment, the decline of the macro environment and the intensification of competition in the field of large cargo transportation slowed down the growth of the company’s revenue, and the high oil price throughout the year had an adverse impact on profits.
In terms of internal strategy, based on the long-term layout, the company continues to increase resource investment, and the cost and expense are under pressure in stages: a new heavy goods division with higher efficiency of large goods collection and distribution is built in the collection and distribution link, so as to gradually replace the traditional inefficient business department; Continuously improve the proportion of intermediate transfer automation in the sorting process, expand the sorting capacity and expand the space for long-term business development; The transportation link can better ensure the transportation timeliness and improve the customer experience by increasing its own transportation capacity.
In terms of back office functions, from the second half of 2020 to the first half of 2021, the company has formulated and implemented a series of talent training programs, during which the management expenses increased significantly.

In 2021, deppon’s optimization of terminal and transportation links helped the company better hedge the impact of external factors on its performance. In the end link, the heavy goods division with higher efficiency, lower cost and better service has begun to gradually replace some inefficient business outlets; Measures such as transportation links and improving its own transport capacity have better hedged the impact of adverse factors such as rising oil prices, and the quality of time effective management of the whole link has been steadily improved.
In Q4 of 2021, the company’s comprehensive gross profit margin improved. In terms of period expenses, on the basis of a significant increase in the thickness of talents, the company began to gradually improve the management efficiency of background personnel through organization and process optimization in the second half of the year, and the management expense rate also showed a qualitative decline.
