At present, it is in the downstream sample delivery verification link.

In 2021, the company was greatly affected by the price fluctuation of raw materials and impairment losses. 1) Aluminum processing business: due to the large fluctuation of raw material aluminum ingot price and aluminum price difference outside China in 2021, and the time difference between the company’s pricing date and delivery date, the single ton cost of direct materials in aluminum processing business increased from 15500 yuan to 18200 yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 17.62%. Under the background of upward processing fees in 2021, the gross profit per ton of the company’s aluminum processing business was 2273 yuan, a slight increase of 0.51% year-on-year; The gross profit margin decreased from 11.4% to 9.9%, a year-on-year decrease of 1.58pcts. 2) Paper packaging business: in 2021, the price of raw materials such as white cardboard increased, the direct material cost increased from 8618.3 yuan to 956973 yuan / ton, with a year-on-year increase of 11.04%, and the gross profit per ton decreased from 27 yuan to 2200 yuan, with a year-on-year decrease of 20.1%. 3) Functional film business: due to the fierce competition in the downstream market, the company accrued 285331 million yuan of goodwill impairment loss for its subsidiary Shantou Dongtong photoelectric materials Co., Ltd., 154457/447091 million yuan of fixed assets, inventory depreciation loss and contract performance cost impairment loss respectively, with a total asset impairment of 747871 million yuan.

The improvement of traditional business is on the way, and the adverse factors are expected to gradually weaken in 2022. 1) Raw material fluctuation risk: the company actively responded to the raw material risk. From 2021q4, the company adjusted the settlement pricing period with most customers to shorten the pricing and delivery time to reduce the risk of aluminum price fluctuation. In addition, the company strengthened the management of inventory and loan return, and used hedging and other means to hedge risks. 2) Asset impairment risk: according to the company’s disclosure, the above asset impairment is unsustainable.
