Event overview

On March 3, 2022, the company disclosed the annual report of 2021. In 2021, the company realized an operating revenue of 4126742500 yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 57.04%, and a net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies of 647269100 yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 45.96%; Deduction of net profit not attributable to parent company + 57.29% year-on-year. In addition, the company issued a stock issuance plan, which plans to raise no more than 3.1 billion yuan.

Analysis and judgment:

In 2021, the revenue grew rapidly, and the net profit deducted from non parent company kept pace with the growth of revenue

1. The growth rate of the company's net profit deducted from non parent company is the same as that of revenue, and the growth rate of net profit attributable to parent company is slightly lower than that of revenue. The main reason is that the government subsidy of the company in 2021 is about 70 million yuan lower than that in 2020.

2. The decline in gross profit margin may be due to the rapid development of the company's Internet of things business: the company's gross profit margin was about 39% in 2021, with a year-on-year increase of -4.82pct. Among them, the hardware procurement cost was + 138.68% year-on-year, or directly related to the increase in the proportion of the company's Internet of things business and the increase in the chip cost of Internet of things products last year.

3. Expense rate: the company's management expense rate and financial expense rate in 2021 remained relatively flat compared with last year, 9.85% and 0.28% respectively; The sales expense rate and R & D expense rate decreased, of which the sales expense rate was 3.12%, with a year-on-year decrease of 1.03 PCT, and the R & D expense rate was 12.43%, with a year-on-year decrease of 2.89 PCT. The decline of R & D expense rate and sales expense rate may be due to the scale effect of the company's business.

The automobile business maintains high growth and vigorously enters into high-level intelligent driving

1. Automobile business increased by + 58.9% year-on-year, and new business expanded rapidly. The company's intelligent Internet connected vehicle business achieved an operating revenue of 1224032100 yuan, an increase of 58.91% over the same period last year, accounting for 30% of the company's total revenue. Among them, the proportion of license revenue is about 11.6%, which is slightly lower than that in previous years. We think it may be due to the increase of new automobile business in 2021 and the rapid growth of software service revenue in automobile business, which squeezed the proportion of license revenue.

2. Both cockpit and intelligent driving grow, and vigorously develop high-level intelligent driving products. Chuangda intelligent cockpit is based on the AVM and APA interface of intelligent parking created by kanzione, which integrates the HMI tool chain of one-stop intelligent cockpit, so as to realize the separation of software and hardware architecture, and the moped factory can easily Ota. In terms of automatic driving, it has formed the dual scene capability of low speed + high speed: 1) in the field of low-speed driving, the company integrates the cross domain innovation of cockpit and low-speed driving, and supports the whole chain products, technologies and solutions from AVM, APA, RPA, HPA to AVP. 2) In the field of high-end driving, the company has laid out intelligent driving platforms across the board to enter the intelligent driving and future vehicle computing platform market. Form an automatic driving open platform and ecosystem covering intelligent driving domain controller platform, underlying software, operating system, middleware, software integration and testing.

The growth of intelligent software business was higher than expected, and the Internet of things maintained high growth in shipment and customer expansion
