The price of raw materials rose and the annual performance declined
The company’s performance fell year-on-year. On the one hand, the rise in the volume and price of epidemic prevention materials and meltblown materials in 2020 brought a high performance base to the company. With the effective control of the epidemic, meltblown products have returned to normal, resulting in the decline of the company’s revenue and profit. In 2021, the modified plastic sector where the melt blown material is located achieved a revenue of 3.204 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 10.44%, and a gross profit of 367 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 63.2%; The thermoplastic elastomer sector achieved a revenue of 449 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 5.52%, and a gross profit of 90 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 49.7%; The color masterbatch sector achieved a revenue of 251 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 13.17%; The gross profit was 35 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 30.0%. On the other hand, the rise in international crude oil prices led to the rise in the prices of main raw materials. According to the company’s annual report, the prices of the company’s main raw materials PP, ABS and PC were 7675 yuan / ton, 15245 yuan / ton and 20405 yuan / ton respectively in 2021. The purchase price of PP decreased slightly by 3.5% year-on-year, and the purchase price of ABS and PC increased by 29.5% and 46.1% year-on-year.
In the reporting period of 2021, the net cash inflow from operating activities was -164 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.024 billion yuan or 119.1%, mainly due to the decrease in advance receipts and more cash disbursements of the company during the reporting period compared with the same period last year. In 2021, the company received 2.974 billion yuan in cash from selling goods and providing labor services, a year-on-year decrease of 19.5%. There is a big difference between the company’s cash flow from operating activities and net profit in 2021, which is mainly due to the large year-on-year increase in the company’s accounts receivable at the end of 2021, the large cash outflow from operating activities such as purchasing raw materials, and the termination of some melt blown material contracts in 2020 and the return of advance receipts.
