Among them, the decline in the gross profit margin of franchise stores in 21 years is mainly due to the accelerated opening speed of franchisees in the second half of the year, the large one-time expenses such as decoration subsidies of the company, the increase in the proportion of old models in the delivery of franchisees in 21 years, and the corresponding low supply discount. The increase of online gross profit margin in 21 years is mainly due to the active optimization of online sales discount contribution.

The performance in 21 years is lower than expected, and we expect to return to healthy growth in 22 years
The company's performance in 2021 was not as good as expected. On the one hand, due to the multi-point spread of the epidemic since the second half of the year, the weakening of the terminal retail environment, which affected the passenger flow of offline stores, and the warm winter and other weather factors, the sales of core categories in autumn and winter were affected. On the other hand, due to the large investment of the company's expenses, including advertising endorsement fees, digital consulting fees and other expenses, the investment effect did not meet the expectations.
Tiktok tiktok is still bright. On the one hand, diversification of online channel has been initially effective. In 2021, the company made a breakthrough in content business, represented by jitter, and GMV grew by 7 times over the same period, contributing about 20% of the company's retail sales. Secondly, the front-end profitability of offline Direct stores has been improved, the strength of franchise expansion is obvious, and the scale continues to expand. In 2022, the company will continue to promote the development of online diversified layout and content e-commerce, strengthen the management of offline Direct stores and overall cost control, and expand the overseas fashion product line based on the original fashion quality products under the guidance of youth trend.
Compared with 21 years, we believe that the company will operate more cautiously in 22 years, strengthen retail capacity, continue to expand the scale of franchise and e-commerce business with high profit margin, and promote the overall financial performance to be healthier. Considering that the company's performance in 21 years is lower than expected and the current retail environment is uncertain due to the impact of the epidemic, we lowered the profit forecast for 22-23 years and the corresponding EPS for 22-23 years to 1.68 and 1.99 yuan respectively (the net profit was reduced by 35% and 36% respectively compared with the previous profit forecast), added the profit forecast for 24 years and the corresponding EPS for 24 years to 2.31 yuan, and the PE for 22-23 years was 13 times and 11 times respectively, and lowered to the "overweight" rating.
Risk tip: the impact of epidemic or extreme weather is higher than expected, and the terminal sales are weak due to the slowdown of macroeconomic growth; The cost control is less than expected; Intensified online competition, increased traffic costs and ineffective expansion of some platforms have resulted in less than expected growth or impaired profitability; Inventory backlog.
