The milk beverage industry has a broad space and fertile soil for breeding large single products. 1) Spatial pattern of milk beverage industry: the total output value of milk beverage from 2013 to 2018 was 13.38% (higher than that of beverage industry by 2.42%), accounting for 15.1% of the total output value of beverage industry from 9.1% in 2013.

The company’s core focus: entering the accelerated stage of scale expansion, we are optimistic about the improvement of profitability under national expansion. We believe that 2022 will be the year when Zhe Jiang Li Zi Yuan Food Co.Ltd(605337) really begins to accelerate its nationalization. The main reasons are as follows: 1) the increase of channel volume / quality is the basis of Nationalization: Zhe Jiang Li Zi Yuan Food Co.Ltd(605337) ‘s high channel profit is the core thrust + product strength / brand strength is gradually enhanced + standardized management system & stable policy is the main reason for attracting dealers to join; 2) The accelerated growth trend of the 100 million market is significantly the result of Nationalization: with the increasing refinement of regional marketing, it is expected that Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi and other regions will be added in 2022 on the basis of the company’s original 100 million markets such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Yunnan, and at the same time, the market of more than 50 million is accelerating its expansion at a growth rate of 50% +; 3) The continuous implementation of production capacity is a guarantee for Nationalization: due to the rapid growth of demand, the company previously solved the problem of insufficient production capacity by increasing the proportion of outsourced processing. With the company’s expansion of production through IPO raising and investment plus foreign investment, it is expected that the company can finally achieve a production capacity of more than 550000 tons and increase the total annual profit by 200 million. On this base, we believe that the core logic of the company is: under the effect of scale, the unit cost decreases (the self owned capacity increases + the proportion of outsourcing decreases + the capacity utilization increases) + the ton price increases (price increases and high priced new products are launched) + the cost rate control is stable = the gross profit margin increases.

Profit forecast and Valuation: it is estimated that the growth rate of the company’s revenue from 2021 to 2023 will be 35.2%, 29.7% and 24.3% respectively; The growth rate of net profit was 22.3%, 30.5% and 25.3% respectively; EPS is 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 yuan / share respectively; PE was 26, 20 and 16 times respectively. Considering the strong certainty of the company’s annual performance, the current valuation is very cost-effective, and the buy rating is given for the first time.
