The specific reasons are as follows:
(I) industry situation and characteristics of the company
In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry in which the company is located has maintained rapid growth under the promotion and guidance of national policies. With the continuous breakthrough of biopharmaceutical in the treatment of malignant tumors, viral hepatitis and other diseases, biomedicine has developed rapidly, the sales scale has increased continuously, and the development prospect of the industry is broad.
The pharmaceutical industry is a knowledge intensive, multi-disciplinary and highly integrated emerging industry. It has the characteristics of high investment, long cycle and high risk. The research and development of new products needs high-level professionals and high-tech as support. In this process, a large amount of funds need to be invested in technology research and development and talent reserve. With the gradual deepening of China’s medical reform and the normalization of centralized volume procurement and medical insurance negotiation, the company must continue to increase investment in the R & D of innovative drugs in order to maintain competitive advantages in R & D capacity and product innovation and achieve sustainable development.
(II) development stage of the company and its own business model
The company is an innovative biomedical enterprise mainly engaged in the R & D, production and sales of recombinant protein drugs, focusing on the development of recombinant proteins and long-term modified drugs. Taking immune related cytokine drugs as the main research and development direction, the company is committed to providing better solutions for the treatment of major diseases such as viral hepatitis and malignant tumor. Over the next period of time, the company will continue to focus on the field of chronic hepatitis B treatment, seek a breakthrough in the direction of chronic hepatitis B clinical cure, and continue to focus on the development of new targets and new mechanism drugs, and continuously enrich the company’s product line and enhance its core competitiveness.
The current development stage of the company belongs to the growth stage. The sales of the company’s products in China include distribution mode and direct sales mode, mainly distribution mode. According to the company’s current development stage and overall business objectives, it still needs to continue to invest a lot of funds in capacity expansion and product market development, so as to create a better return on investment for shareholders.
(III) profitability and capital demand of the company
In 2021, the company realized an operating income of 113222770990 yuan, and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company was 18120095924 yuan. The profitability of the company was continuously enhanced and the overall financial situation was better. With the continuous accumulation of scientific evidence of clinical cure of chronic hepatitis B and the continuous promotion of new drug research and development projects, the company’s products are facing a good development prospect. Future Ltd will continue to maintain a high level of scientific research investment. At the same time, according to the market situation, we should constantly adjust and optimize the marketing network, increase market promotion efforts, and ensure sustainable development. Therefore, the company has a large capital demand in the future.
(IV) reasons for the low level of cash dividends of the company
The company attaches great importance to shareholders’ return. Since its listing, the company has implemented a continuous and stable profit distribution policy. Combined with the characteristics of the industry and the needs of business development, the company pays attention to sharing growth income with shareholders while taking into account the development of the company. At present, the company’s protein drug production reconstruction and expansion and R & D center construction projects are under construction. At the same time, there are many new drug projects in the R & D stage. In 2021, the company’s R & D investment was 16711943379 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.09%. The above projects still need to invest a lot of self owned funds in the future.
(V) the exact purpose of retained undistributed profits and the estimated income of the company
The retained undistributed profits of the company will be transferred to the next year, which will be mainly used for R & D investment, fund-raising investment project construction, business development and profit distribution in subsequent years. The expansion of the company’s scale and the improvement of profitability are conducive to bringing long-term returns to investors. The income level related to retained undistributed profits of the company is affected by many factors, such as macroeconomic situation, changes in asset quality, asset interest rate and so on.
