The gross profit margin decreased slightly, and the cost control during the period was effective: the gross profit margin in 2021 was 37.83%, a year-on-year decrease of 1.50pcts. It is expected that the increase in the proportion of low gross profit margin businesses such as catering and quick freezing is mainly due to the increase in the price of some raw materials. The cost control of the company was effective, and the cost rate fell year-on-year throughout the year. In terms of breakdown, the cost rates of sales / management / R & D / finance were 9.33% / 9.75% / 1.99% / – 0.62% respectively, and + 0.10 / – 0.85 / – 0.36 / – 0.10pcts year-on-year.
