1、 Strategic layout of “new integration”
Since the formulation of the “new integration” strategy in 2021, the company has successively announced the strategic cooperation with Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co.Ltd(603799) , Gem Co.Ltd(002340) to deepen the strategic cooperation relationship with the upstream and maintain the stable supply of raw materials in the upstream. At the same time, it signed supply agreements with downstream battery manufacturers such as Ningde times and Farasis Energy (Gan Zhou) Co.Ltd(688567) to ensure future orders.
Key points: in 2022, the “new integration” strategy will be further implemented in Hubei. This is a comprehensive layout. Combined with the lake, it illustrates the regional advantages of North Wuhan, Ezhou, Xiantao and other regions, and fully matches the development needs. The “new integration” strategy is gradually forming a complete industrial and financial system, which will produce synergy at the levels of capital, supply chain, business, R & D and so on.
First of all, in terms of capital utilization rate, the biggest feature of the “new integration” strategy is the combination of industry and finance. At present, we gradually cooperate with local governments in production capacity funds and equity funds, give full play to the investment capacity of rongbai industry, and use the advantages of the system to optimize the capital utilization rate.
Secondly, in the supply chain, we will obtain some equity of upstream resources through equity participation and get better supply rights. Business collaboration and equity binding will bring closer cooperation and make our supply chain construction more stable and competitive.
Third, at the business level, according to the agreements we signed with downstream customers, we can provide us with longer-term and more efficient orders in the future.
Fourth, at the level of product R & D, especially the development of some cutting-edge battery materials, they will form close interaction with customers through strategic agreements to ensure that the matching degree of R & D efficiency of both sides is the highest. In addition to cooperating with upstream and downstream enterprises, we will also establish a new energy technology research institute in Hanyang District, Wuhan, strengthen the construction of R & D system, research and develop not only cathode materials, but also other materials, and make full use of the advantages of colleges and universities and talent accumulation in Wuhan. At present, we expect that the competition of the whole industrial chain is still in the competition of products and technology, but the next stage is systematic competition.
Finally, at the level of environmental friendliness, the new base will adopt green power supply, such as Xiantao base, which mainly relies on the local fishing light complementary photovoltaic supporting power. At the same time, all bases give full play to the advantages of scale. With the continuous iteration of equipment and production lines and the appearance of scale effect, the energy consumption per ton will also be reduced. It can meet the relevant requirements of ESG, especially the requirements of European customers for carbon emission reduction.
The “new integration” strategy hopes that through a relatively open system, we can concentrate resources on the links we are best at to become the first in the world. At the same time, we can choose the best team cooperation in the business link to develop the links related to them and form a strong alliance. 2、 Overview and purpose of non-public offering
The total amount of this issuance is expected to be no more than 6.068 billion. The raised investment projects involved mainly focus on the expansion of the existing main business. Most of the funds are invested in Xiantao base, Zunyi base and South Korea base, mainly in the production expansion of cathode materials, and other funds are invested in early-stage precursor projects, engineering equipment projects and supplementary liquidity funds. The purpose of the issuance is not only to meet the rapidly growing market demand in the downstream and consolidate the company’s leading position in the industry, but also to focus on the main business and improve the competitiveness of the industrial chain. This fund-raising is an important process of the “new integration” strategy. The subsequent company will gradually implement the relevant plans of the “new integration strategy” and promote the implementation of more projects. 3、 Annual report performance in 2021
1. Achieve rapid growth in performance
In 2021, the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company was 9110413 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 327.59% compared with the same period of last year (legally disclosed data). In 2021, the net profit attributable to the owner of the parent company after deducting non recurring profits and losses was 808246600 yuan, an increase of 404.73% year-on-year compared with the same period of last year (statutory disclosure data).
2. Reasons for performance growth
(1) The penetration rate of high nickel technology route in the terminal of new energy vehicles was further improved. Driven by the high demand of downstream customers, the company accelerated the release of new production capacity, doubled its annual sales year-on-year, and continued to maintain a leading position in China’s ternary cathode material market.
(2) The profitability of the company’s products continued to improve, and the product structure was gradually optimized. The shipment volume of high nickel polycrystalline products kept leading in the market, and the proportion of single crystal high energy density products and ultra-high nickel products above 9 series increased. (3) The company’s precursor sector has made remarkable progress in customer development, product research and development, engineering construction and so on. The proportion of self supply of precursors increased year-on-year, reaching about 30%, and the profitability increased significantly year-on-year.
(4) The comprehensive cost competitiveness of the company was further improved. The double rise of production and sales volume drives the scale effect and promotes the cost reduction and efficiency increase of manufacturing links; At the same time, the company strengthened the strategic procurement layout of raw materials to reduce the cost of the supply chain.
1、 There may be a large amount of ultra-high nickel in the next two years. What is the company’s future promotion plan?
A: at present, rongbai is at the leading level in the industry in the R & D and mass production of ultra-high nickel.
In the second half of last year, the company’s 9-series polycrystalline and single crystal products have started mass production. It is expected that there will be relatively large shipments from the second half of this year to the beginning of next year. The application fields include 4680 system, and ultra-high nickel has great advantages in cost performance. In other investor relations, some battery systems are actively promoting 9 series at the same time. Main activities
