Vaccine business: covid-19 vaccination affects sales, and the approval of children’s dosage form is expected to help accelerate the volume in 22 years. In 2021, the revenue of vaccine sector reached 1.825 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 24.63%; The sales volume of influenza vaccine was about 15.54 million, a year-on-year decrease of 28.51%; Mainly affected by the run on covid-19 vaccination, the company’s influenza vaccine is expected to achieve restorative growth in 2022 with the orderly promotion of covid-19 vaccination in China. In addition, the company’s tetravalent influenza virus split vaccine (children’s dosage form) obtained the drug marketing approval in February 2022. The vaccination scope of tetravalent influenza vaccine has been expanded to people under the age of 3, which is expected to gradually replace trivalent influenza vaccine. In the long run, due to the high incidence of influenza and covid-19 epidemic education lasting for 2-3 years, the awareness of influenza vaccine continues to improve. We expect the penetration rate of influenza vaccine to continue to increase in the future. As the leader of tetravalent influenza vaccine, the company is expected to maintain rapid growth.

Profit forecast and investment suggestions: according to the company’s 2021 annual report, we adjusted the profit forecast, taking into account: 1) benefiting from the 14th five year plan of pulp stations in many provinces, the company’s blood products business maintained steady growth; 2) The vaccine business benefited from the increased penetration of influenza vaccine and the approval of children’s dosage forms. As the leader of influenza vaccine, the company achieved rapid and large-scale production, but at the same time, other manufacturers in China will be approved one after another, and the competition will intensify; It is estimated that the operating revenue of the company from 2022 to 2024 will be RMB 6.481 billion, RMB 7.718 billion and RMB 9.189 billion respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 46.08%, 19.09% and 19.06%, and the net profit attributable to the parent company will be RMB 2.085 billion, RMB 2.536 billion and RMB 3.069 billion respectively (before adjustment from 2022 to 2023), with a year-on-year increase of 60.53%, 21.65% and 20.98%. The company is one of the leaders in blood products. The continuous improvement of awareness of tetravalent influenza vaccine has led to sustained and rapid volume and maintained the “buy” rating.

Risk warning events: the risk of price fluctuation of blood products, the risk that the plasma collection volume is less than expected, the risk of intensified competition of tetravalent influenza vaccine, and the risk that the R & D Progress of monoclonal antibody business is less than expected.
