We judge that the company’s main business shipbuilding business has full orders. Although the ship manufacturing cycle is relatively long, not all orders may be completed in 2022, it will have a positive impact on the company’s business revenue scale and profit in 2022 and 2023.

The revenue of special ships grew rapidly, and the gross profit margin of bulk carriers and container ships rebounded sharply

In terms of business, the company’s main business can be divided into shipbuilding business, steel structure engineering business, marine engineering business, ship repair business, electromechanical products and other businesses. The details are as follows:

\u3000\u30001. Shipbuilding business is the main revenue source of the company. In 2021, the operating revenue was 9.192 billion yuan (- 2.83%), which decreased slightly, mainly from 2020, including the revenue of Guangzhou shipbuilding international from January to February.

The company’s main shipbuilding business involves the Growth Logic of military and civil ship construction, and the performance is expected to be further realized during the 14th Five Year Plan period

Shipbuilding business is the most important business of the company. In 2021, the operating revenue of shipbuilding business accounted for 78.76% of the company’s total revenue. The company adopts the mode of military civilian joint construction, complementary advantages and rapid development with reform and innovation as the driving force and integration, performs the primary responsibility of protecting the army, fully undertakes military tasks, and grasps the recovery trend of military civilian ship market at the same time. The company is mainly in the process of final assembly and construction in the shipbuilding and offshore engineering industry chain. At the front end of the industry chain, it has been extended to ship and sea supporting products, and at the back end of the industry chain, it has been extended to ship life-cycle guarantee.

In terms of military products business, the company is a large backbone shipbuilding enterprise subordinate to China Cssc Holdings Limited(600150) group and a national core military production enterprise. The holding subsidiary Huangpu Wenchong was founded in 1851 and has a military industry history of more than 130 years. It is the main construction base of Chinese military ships, special engineering ships and marine engineering; The company’s main military products include defense equipment products represented by military ships, marine police equipment and official ships. It is the most important military ship production and support base in South China and an important official ship construction base in China. We believe that the naval force is an extremely important point in China’s national defense force and China’s arms construction. In the white paper “China’s national defense in the new era”, it is defined as “playing a very important role in national security and overall development”. The construction of military ships is of great significance to sea power and the great rejuvenation of China and the Chinese nation. With the improvement of China’s economic, military and other hard power, it is undoubtedly in China’s national interest to develop into ocean going and blue water navy. China’s one belt, one road China Maritime Silk Road Construction and the protection of the navigation freedom of the Malacca Straits, which are extremely important to China’s maritime transport, all need China’s support for a strong ocean blue water navy. This is also a crucial defense line for protecting China’s overseas economic interests and people’s safety. Undoubtedly, it is the most powerful factor in the process of building military ships.

In terms of civilian ship business, the company has characteristic products such as feeder container ships, dredging dredgers and other high value-added products such as scientific research ships; At the same time, it has the core technology of independent intellectual property rights of special ships and other ships. The company is in a leading position in the field of multi-functional deep-water survey ships, feeder container ships and dredging engineering ships. Especially in the field of bulk carriers, the gross profit margin of bulk carriers of the company reached 28.59% (+ 20.15pcts) in 2021, with a significant increase, mainly due to the improvement of the shipping market and the increase of the price of new main ship types. According to the company’s 2021 semi annual report, in the first half of the year, the price of some bulk carriers and container ships increased by more than 20% in total; At the same time, the company actively invested in the research and development of bulk carriers. During the reporting period, the development expenditure of the company on the bulk carrier project includes the research on the key technology of the design and construction of 85000 ton new Panamax bulk carrier of 215965 million yuan, the research on the key technology of the design and construction of 95000 ton bulk carrier of 151796 million yuan and the research on the optimization and upgrading of 85000 DWT bulk carrier of 3.3249 million yuan.

In the field of container ships, the gross profit margin reached 9.24% (+ 18.26pcts) in 2021, and the price of some new container ships increased by more than 20% in the first half of the year; At the same time, the 1900teu and 3000teu branch line containers independently developed by the company have been recognized by the market, and science and technology drive has formed a support for business development. The branch line container ships of the company are high value-added ships. At the same time, the company has become the largest and strongest production base of branch line container ships in China.

For China’s civilian ship market, we believe that there are two main growth logics at present. First, the next business cycle of the civilian ship market may be coming. From the perspective of ship age, the peak delivery period of the last round of new ships is 20032011. At present, when the ship age is aging for nearly 20 years, it can be predicted that the alternation period of ships is coming; Second, there is an obvious trend for China to move forward to the field of high-tech shipbuilding industry. The China Cssc Holdings Limited(600150) industry is moving forward from low value-added ship type to high value-added ship type. In the future, the gross profit margin of civil shipbuilding industry is expected to increase as a whole.

Investment suggestions:

In 2001, the company’s actual profitability was improved, and the company’s current main business orders were full. In 2021, the company achieved operating orders of 32.524 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 248.3%; By the end of 2021, orders on hand amounted to 43.658 billion yuan, of which 9.599 billion yuan is expected to be converted into revenue in 2022. As the main construction base of Chinese military ships, special engineering ships and offshore engineering, the company has a stable position in the industry. We believe that the overall certainty of the company’s future performance is high.

The Growth Logic of the company’s main shipbuilding business is obvious, and the performance is expected to be further realized during the 14th Five Year Plan period Military ship business is accompanied by the demand for naval equipment construction brought by the protection of China’s overseas economic interests and people’s security; With the possible boom cycle of the civil ship market and the progress of China’s shipbuilding industry towards high value-added ship types, the civil ship business supports the continuous growth of the company’s main business performance.

The integration process of China shipbuilding group was further promoted. At the same time, China Shipbuilding Group issued the letter of commitment on avoiding horizontal competition with China Shipbuilding marine defense and Equipment Co., Ltd. on June 30, 2021, promising to steadily promote the integration of relevant assets and businesses that meet the requirements of being injected into listed companies, so as to solve the problem of horizontal competition.

Based on the above point of view, we predict that the operating revenue of the company from 2022 to 2024 will be RMB 11.881 billion, RMB 12.186 billion and RMB 12.583 billion respectively, the net profit attributable to the parent company will be RMB 98 million, RMB 138 million and RMB 260 million, and the EPS will be RMB 07 million, RMB 10 million and RMB 18 million respectively. The target price of 20242022 is 116.00 times and the target price of 20222022 is 300.00 times.

Risk tip: the scene of ship market is not as generous as expected, and the prosperity of marine industry is not as good as expected.
