The gross profit margin declined, the expense rate increased during the period, and the performance was under pressure.

The gross profit margin of all kinds of voltage grade products decreased by 3-8pcts, mainly due to the rise of raw material prices. It is expected that the subsequent product price adjustment and cost reduction measures can appropriately transmit / alleviate the cost pressure. In 2021, the company’s expense rate increased by 1.4pcts, R & D investment expenditure increased by 25%, accounting for 7.25% (+ 0.73pcts) of revenue, and management expenses (excluding R & D expenditure) accounted for 8.61% (+ 0.88pcts).

Profit forecast. Based on the following factors, we make profit forecast: 1. The cost pressure is transmitted and the gross profit margin of products remains stable; 2. The demand for cable accessories in the two networks market has increased with the investment in the power grid. The company has maintained a stable market share of the two networks, and the company has developed the off network market, especially in the field of new energy; 3. Maintain and obtain new orders for 500kV products; 4. The cost of equity incentive is about 69 million, which is amortized in descending order. It is estimated that from 2022 to 2024, the net profit attributable to the parent company will be 150 million, 194 million and 241 million, and the EPS will be 0.78 yuan, 1.01 yuan and 1.25 yuan respectively, corresponding to 21 times, 16 times and 13 times of the current stock price earnings ratio. Considering that the company, as a leading enterprise in the cable accessories industry, has achieved a breakthrough in 500kV high-voltage products, the company is given a reasonable price earnings ratio valuation of 22-28 times in 2022, with a reasonable range of 17.2-21.8 yuan, maintaining the “recommended” rating.
Risk tip: the price of raw materials fluctuates sharply, the market competition intensifies, and the promotion of high-voltage products is less than expected
