Core view

The performance in 2021 is in line with expectations and maintains rapid growth. The annual revenue in 2021 was 4.62 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.1%, a slight decrease of 0.7 percentage points compared with the first three quarters, mainly due to other non interest income volatility factors; The annual PPOP increased by 9.0% year-on-year, down 1.1 percentage points from the first three quarters; The annual net profit attributable to the parent company was 1.3 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 30.3%. The annual net profit attributable to the parent company increased by 16.9% on average in two years, up 1.5 percentage points from the first three quarters. The growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company was significantly faster than that of income, mainly benefiting from the obvious improvement of asset quality. 2021 weighted roe11 1%, up 1.9 percentage points year-on-year.

The scale of assets maintained rapid growth. In 2021, the total assets increased by 14.4% year-on-year to 164.6 billion yuan, slightly lower than the previous period, but still significantly higher than the industry average.

Among them, the annual loan yield decreased by 19bps year-on-year, and the deposit interest payment rate increased by 14bps. Looking forward to 2022, it is expected that with the completion of loan repricing and the constraints of self-discipline pricing mechanism on deposit costs, the pressure on the decline of net interest margin will be reduced, which will promote the recovery of the growth rate of net interest income.
