Steady income growth was achieved under multiple pressures, and Q4 accelerated month on month. In the past 21 years, enterprises in the condiment industry faced multiple pressures such as community group buying squeezing Superman traffic, weak terminal demand, channel destocking and deteriorating competition pattern. The company bucked the trend and achieved steady income growth. In the fourth quarter alone, the company achieved a total operating revenue of 7.01 billion yuan, yoy + 22.85%. We believe that it is mainly due to the easing of the pressure on community group purchase channels, the marginal recovery of terminal demand and the marginal improvement of industry environment. The company has actively arranged community group purchase channels since the third quarter. At the same time, it has continuously pushed forward the sinking of channels and the expansion of channels has contributed to the increase of income.

Cost suppresses profits, controls expenses and achieves efficiency. The gross profit margin of the company’s main business in the whole year was 39.78%, down 3.73 PCT year-on-year, mainly due to the rapid rise of raw material costs and the thinning of the company’s profits.

The decline in fees boosted the net interest rate.
