The growth rate of chemical agents sector is obvious, and the key advantageous fields such as digestive tract, sex promoting hormone and spirit continue to grow. The company’s revenue and profit are in line with expectations. The growth of revenue is close to 15%, and the growth rate of non profit is slightly slower than that of revenue. The main reason is the strong investment in R & D. The difference between the growth rate of return to parent profit and the growth rate of deduction from non parent profit mainly lies in the confirmation of equity income of Jiangsu Nico last year.

In terms of sections, the high growth rate of chemical agents (+ 33.71%) exceeded expectations. Among them, the sales of key advantageous areas such as digestive tract (+ 50.40%), sex hormone (+ 28.34%), psychotropic drugs (+ 48.55%) achieved sustained and rapid growth year-on-year. The revenue of traditional Chinese medicine decreased. The profitability of API (+ 19.20%) increased steadily, the overseas market of vancomycin, teicoplanin and other high-end antibiotic products grew strongly, and the diagnostic reagent section declined significantly due to the high base last year.

There are 7 projects under research for microspheres and other high barrier complex preparations (1 production report; 1 phase I; 2 be (pre) tests); Approved clinical (2 items). According to the progress, we expect that the products expected to be on the market from 2022 to 2023 include covid-19 recombinant protein vaccine V01, lzm008 (ir-6r), triptorelin microspheres, ruracidone tablets, bunanserin tablets, leuprorelin microspheres (3m), lzm009 (PD-1), aripiprazole microspheres (1m), octreotide microspheres (1m), etc. the continuous approval of products is expected to drive the continuous growth of the company’s revenue.

Profit forecast and valuation. Based on the company’s excellent management, sales team, monoclonal antibody platform, microsphere platform, etc., the company’s long-term investment value is prominent. We estimate that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be 2.053 billion yuan, 2.395 billion yuan and 2.777 billion yuan respectively, with an increase of 15.6%, 16.6% and 16.0% respectively.
