Comments: the volume and price of the company’s main products rose in 2021, pushing up the growth rate of revenue. In 2021, the company’s overall product sales increased, and the increment of olefin segment was mainly contributed by polyethylene; The sales volume of coking division increased against the trend against the background of the overall volume reduction of the industry, and the market share further increased; The division of fine chemicals is relatively stable. In terms of price, affected by the rising cost of raw materials, the growth rate is significant. In terms of profitability, polyolefin’s price transmission is not smooth due to the great impact of industry supply increment, and the gross profit margin has decreased; However, the coke sector benefited from its own coal advantages, offset the impact of high raw material prices, and the gross profit margin rose year-on-year. In the future, with the further improvement of the company’s coal self-sufficiency rate, it is expected to continue to enhance the company’s low-cost competitive advantage.
