In the announcement, Zhejiang Huatong Meat Products Co.Ltd(002840) said that there are two main reasons for performance correction:
1. Provision for asset impairment
Since February 2022, China’s pig market price has further declined, and the recent decline is large. The management of the company carefully evaluates the impairment risk of biological assets according to the recent pig market, and makes a supplementary provision for the impairment of biological assets for the biological assets on hand at the end of 2021.
2. Government subsidies
The company adjusted the accounting treatment of some government subsidies obtained in the early stage, and included the adjustment of some government subsidies included in the current “other income” into the “deferred income” for apportionment, resulting in a decrease in the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company in 2021 compared with the previous performance forecast.
In another announcement on the provision for impairment of assets, Zhejiang Huatong Meat Products Co.Ltd(002840) made a detailed explanation on the provision for impairment of assets, including two main items: first, in 2021, due to the sharp decline in the market price of live pigs in China and other reasons, the company made a provision for impairment of inventories of 150 million yuan based on the principle of prudence; Second, at the end of 2021, considering the large number of productive biological assets and the uncertain expectation of China’s pig market, the impairment of productive biological assets was withdrawn by 618755 million yuan according to the impairment test formula of the company’s management.

Zhejiang Huatong Meat Products Co.Ltd(002840) said that the provision for impairment of various assets in 2021 was 217 million yuan, reducing the total profit of the company’s consolidated statements in 2021 by 217 million yuan.
pig raising enterprise performance under pressure
It can be found from the above announcement that Zhejiang Huatong Meat Products Co.Ltd(002840) withdrawing the provision for asset impairment is mainly due to the further decline of pig market price.
According to the data of China pig network, since the end of 2021, the price of live pigs (external three yuan) has fallen from more than 18 yuan / kg to 12.67 yuan / kg at present.

The price of 12.67 yuan / kg is actually far lower than the cost price of pig raising enterprises. In an investor relations record on January 4, Zhejiang Huatong Meat Products Co.Ltd(002840) said: at present, the company’s cost of self breeding fat pigs is 17-18 yuan / kg, which is expected to be reduced to 15-16 yuan / kg in 2022.

In fact, at the beginning of 2021, the price of live pigs was once around 30 yuan / kg, but then kept falling, which directly affected the performance of pig raising enterprises. For example, Zhejiang Huatong Meat Products Co.Ltd(002840) 2021 made a profit of 77.46 million yuan in the first quarter, but in the third quarter, it had a direct loss of 104 million yuan.
