The performance recovered strongly after the epidemic, and the upgrading of differentiated product structure led to the growth of gross profit margin
In 2020, affected by the epidemic, the company’s revenue and net profit attributable to its parent decreased, and the performance recovered strongly in 2021. The revenue of 2021q1-3 was 3.068 billion yuan (+ 83.70%), and the net profit attributable to its parent was 377 million yuan (+ 307.82%). In 2021, it is expected to realize a net profit attributable to the parent company of about 460 million yuan (+ 284%), deducting a net profit of about 435 million yuan (+ 351.65%). Among them, Q4 is expected to realize net profit attributable to the parent company of about 83 million yuan (+ 205%), deducting non net profit of 77 million yuan (+ 244%).
The upgrading of product structure drives the growth of nylon filament gross profit margin. In 2020, the company’s gross profit margin was 21.79% (- 1.63pct), of which the gross profit margin of nylon filament was 21.29% (+ 1.75pct), with a significant increase. With the gradual production of differentiated products nylon 6 and nylon 66, the gross profit margin and parent net profit margin of 2021q1-3 company rebounded rapidly, which were 26.4% (+ 8.4pct) and 12.3% (+ 6.8pct) respectively.
The price of raw materials may go down, and the consumption upgrading of functional clothing will accelerate the penetration of nylon
Nylon has high abrasion resistance and moisture absorption strength, and has large application space in the downstream garment industry. Compared with other chemical fibers, nylon has outstanding characteristics in strength, wear resistance and moisture absorption. Therefore, nylon fabric has stable quality and durability. It has become the best choice in outdoor, sports and other clothing fields, and has the trend of gradually replacing polyester. However, due to price constraints, its application scope is not as wide as polyester.
The localization of raw material adiponitrile is accelerated, the performance of nylon 66 is excellent, and the price is reduced, which is expected to replace part of the demand for polyester. Nylon 66 has more advantages in color fastness and elasticity, but in the past, the price of nylon 66 chips was high, the market of raw material adiponitrile was concentrated and dependent on imports, and the development of nylon 66 was limited. In 2020, domestic technology breakthrough will accelerate the localization of adiponitrile. After the release of production capacity in the future, the price may usher in a downward trend, which will drive the price of nylon 66 to decline and reduce the price difference with polyester. Nylon 66 is expected to replace some polyester demand. The upgrading of outdoor sports consumption and the growth of functional clothing demand open up the nylon market space. Sinotrans Limited(601598) the sports market is booming. With the upgrading of consumption and the improvement of athletes’ professional knowledge, higher requirements are put forward for the functionality of sportswear, yoga clothes, down jacket and women’s sports underwear. Nylon 6 and nylon 66 silk are expected to meet strong demand.
Nylon industrial chain integration, strengthening coordination, accelerating production expansion and opening up long-term growth space
The company’s business is distributed in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, from nylon spinning, nylon grey fabric manufacturing to finished fabrics. Through the advantages of integrated operation, the company strengthens synergy and improves the overall operating efficiency of the company. The production capacity of 120000 tons of differentiated nylon filament is gradually released. It is expected that the annual capacity utilization rate will be about 60% – 70% in 2021 and 100% in 2022. Invest in the new green multifunctional nylon new material integration project. Phase I 60000 tons of differentiated nylon 66 silk and 100000 tons of chemically regenerated nylon silk are expected to be put into operation in April 23, and the capacity utilization rate may reach 50% in 2023.
R & D innovation, optimize product structure and improve penetration and market share
The company gives full play to the advantages of R & D and innovation, optimizes the product structure, improves the quality of key products, widens the product field, and develops differentiated and high value-added products. Take the lead in launching differentiated nylon 66 wire, and increase the added value of light transmittance, viscosity, safety and so on. In 2020, the sales of differentiated products such as dye-free colorful brocade yarn, recycled environmental protection yarn and nylon 66 yarn increased by 68% year-on-year. The industry penetration rate of nylon products and the company’s market share continued to improve.
High quality customers are working hard, with both depth and breadth
The brand has deep customer resources and is a long-term partner of decathlon, Toread Holdings Group Co.Ltd(300005) , C & A, H & M, Hla Group Corp.Ltd(600398) , Jordan, Anta and other brands.
