Key investment points
The performance is in line with expectations, and the profit has entered the medium and long-term upward channel
In 2021q4, the company achieved a revenue of 6.2 billion yuan, yoy + 162% / QoQ + 12%, and a net profit attributable to the parent company of 174 million yuan, yoy + 24% / qoq-37.4%. The month on month decline in 2021q4 was mainly due to the rise of auxiliary materials and the provision of year-end bonus. In 2021, the company produced 23400 tons of Co3O4, with a gross profit margin of 9.2%, and 158300 tons of ternary precursor, with a gross profit margin of 12.3%. In 2021, the total sales volume of positive precursors of the company was 175700 tons / yoy + 93%, and the corresponding non-profit deduction per ton was 4400 yuan / ton. Although the company deducted non single ton profit in 2021q4 due to the rise of auxiliary materials and other factors, the overall company still increased compared with 3800 yuan / ton in 2020, the short-term impact remains unchanged, and the long-term trend is better.
We believe that the company will strengthen the integrated layout, and the phase I nickel project in Indonesia will be completed and put into operation in 2022q3. Through mineral resource processing → precursor → recycling, the company will create a closed-loop industrial chain, and its profits will enter the medium and long-term upward channel.
Prominent global position and positive capital expenditure to increase production capacity
With strong demand, the company has increased its capacity layout, and its capital expenditure in 2021 is about 5 billion yuan / yoy + 377%. By the end of 2021, the company's projects under construction were 2.3 billion yuan / yoy + 280%, and its fixed assets were 4.4 billion yuan / yoy + 111%. The company has global capacity distribution in Hunan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Indonesia, Finland and other places, with an existing capacity of about 170000 tons and a capacity under construction of 180000 tons. It is estimated that the precursor capacity of the company will reach 350000 tons / 500000 tons in 2022 / 2023. In addition, the company continued to optimize the production capacity structure. On December 10, 2021, the company announced that it would cooperate with Kaiyang County Government to invest 10 billion yuan (including 5 billion yuan of working capital) to build 200000 tons of iron phosphate and lithium iron phosphate integrated project. In terms of customers, the company has deep and long-term cooperation with global leading customers such as dangsheng, Xiamen tungsten, Tesla and LGC, and the production capacity is expected to be actively digested.
The global position is prominent. In 2021, the total output of ternary precursor materials in the world will reach 750000 tons / yoy + 79%; The total output of ternary precursors in China is 620000 tons / yoy + 82%, and the total output of lithium cobaltate in China is 92000 tons / yoy + 24%. In 2021, the market share of the company's ternary precursor increased to 26%, and the market share of Co3O4 was 24%, both of which remained the first in the industry.
We believe that the company's prominent global position, together with excellent global customers and overweight cooperation with sungeelhitech of South Korea, Castle Peak of China, mining of Finland and other fields such as recycling, nickel and precursors, is expected to continuously improve its profitability and drive the continuous optimization of its balance sheet.
