In 2021, the company’s revenue increased by 85.77% year-on-year, the net profit attributable to the parent company increased by 24.15% year-on-year, and the performance growth was slower than the revenue growth. Among them, Q4 achieved an operating revenue of 1.01 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 94%, and a net profit of 81 million yuan in a single quarter, a year-on-year decrease of 20%. The reasons for the rapid growth of the company’s revenue in the fourth quarter are mainly due to the development of markets outside China and the rapid volume of core customers. The main reasons for the pressure on profitability include: 1) the rise of raw material prices, and the rise of aluminum prices by more than 30% in 2021, resulting in the growth rate of the company’s operating costs greater than the growth rate of revenue; 2) Rising international sea freight; 3) R & D expenses increased, and the company invested 129 million yuan in R & D in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 123.47%; 4) Exchange rate impact.

The process includes die casting, extrusion and forging. Die casting mainly processes chassis parts with high precision. Extrusion mainly includes battery pack, anti-collision beam and subframe. The main products of forging process are steering knuckle, thermal management valve sector and other products. On the basis of die casting, the company has successfully expanded extrusion and forging processes. It is one of the few enterprises in China with three processes at the same time.

Others include major new overseas forces such as lucid and rivian, foreign-funded automobile enterprises such as BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen, as well as important Chinese customers such as Great Wall Motor Company Limited(601633) , Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) . In the future, we will continue to actively expand China’s major new power auto enterprises and other independent brand customers, with strong incremental certainty. In 2022, with the stabilization of raw materials and freight and the partial transmission of pressure on the cost side, the profitability of the company is expected to gradually improve.
