Key points supporting rating

Profit growth of 30% in 2021: the company released the annual report of 2021. The annual operating revenue was RMB 8.713 billion, with a year-on-year increase of 39.18%.

The company’s performance basically meets expectations.

The release of production capacity supported the rapid growth of photovoltaic glass sales: with the gradual release of the company’s new photovoltaic glass production capacity, the company’s photovoltaic glass shipments maintained a rapid growth, with an annual shipment of 265 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 43.17%, and a revenue of 7.122 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.28%. In 2021, affected by the sharp rise in the price of silicon, the price of photovoltaic modules increased, which restrained the growth of photovoltaic terminal market to a certain extent. At the same time, the new capacity of photovoltaic glass industry was gradually released, resulting in the sharp decline in the price of photovoltaic glass after 2021q2. In 2021, the average after tax settlement price of the company was 26.90 yuan / m2, a year-on-year decrease of 4.81%. Affected by factors such as falling prices, rising freight prices and rising costs of some raw materials and fuels, the company’s gross profit margin decreased by 9.22 percentage points year-on-year to 35.70%.

Continuous expansion of high-quality production capacity: at present, phase III and phase IV projects of the company’s Anhui production base are under construction. At the same time, the company announced that it plans to invest about 6 billion yuan to build six photovoltaic module glass projects with a daily melting capacity of 1200 tons in Nantong, Jiangsu, and four photovoltaic module glass projects with a daily melting capacity of 1200 tons in phase I are in the process of approval. After the approval is completed, the company will speed up the construction. The continuous expansion of low-cost and high-quality production capacity is conducive to the company to seize the development opportunity of photovoltaic glass market and further improve the market share with the help of the cost advantage of large kiln furnace.
