Key investment points:

Picking stars and taking off hats ushered in a performance inflection point, and the profitability increased steadily

In 2021, the company realized an operating revenue of 4.026 billion yuan (- 14.28%), which is mainly due to the fact that after July 30, 2020, Xiangdian wind energy will no longer be included in the company’s consolidated statements, and the operating revenue in 2021 does not include the revenue of wind power units and the decrease in the sales volume of wind turbines. According to the disclosure of the company’s annual report, the operating revenue of the company’s wind power system project was 2.871 billion yuan in 2020. In 2021, the company had no wind power system project revenue. Excluding the wind power system business, it increased by 120.60% compared with the same caliber. The net profit attributable to the parent company was 79 million yuan (+ 5.60%), and the net profit deducted from non attributable to the parent company was 15 million yuan, an increase of 298 million yuan, which was positive for the first time after 2018. At the same time, during the reporting period, the company successfully withdrew the delisting risk warning on April 1, 2021 and completed the “star removal and hat removal”. Gross profit margin 19.15% (+ 5.75pcts), a new high since 2013; The net interest rate was 2.91% (+ 0.67pcts), the highest since 2011.

The revenue of special products and spare parts grew rapidly, and the gross profit margin of motor products rebounded

In 2021, the company’s products are mainly classified into the machinery industry. In 2021, the company’s operating revenue of the machinery industry was 3.947 billion yuan, accounting for 98.06% of the total operating revenue. The main business in the machinery industry can be divided into three categories: motor, electric control, special products and spare parts. Specifically:

\u3000\u30001. In 2021, the motor business realized an operating revenue of 2.593 billion yuan (- 7.70%), accounting for 64.42% of the revenue, and the revenue decreased slightly, mainly due to the decrease in the sales volume of wind power motors. However, the gross profit margin of motor products rebounded, reaching 18.84% (+ 1.59pcts) in 2021.

\u3000\u30002. The revenue of electric control products was 153 million yuan (+ 42.21%), with a significant increase, and the gross profit margin was 13.25% (- 3.97 PCTs)

\u3000\u30003. In 2021, the operating revenue of special products and spare parts reached 1.202 billion yuan (+ 125.91%), with a significant increase in gross profit margin of 19.7% (- 5.19 PCTs), but it is still the highest among the three main products of the company.

The company’s expenses changed greatly in 2021, of which the sales expenses were 108 million yuan (- 50.90%), which decreased significantly, mainly because the company disposed of the equity of Xiangdian wind energy in 2020, and the sales expenses in 2021 no longer included the data of wind energy company; The management fee is 210 million yuan (- 5.91%), a slight decrease, also because the management fee in 2021 no longer includes the data of wind energy companies; The financial expenses were 148 million yuan (- 42.58%), which decreased significantly, mainly due to the reduction of loan scale, the reduction of loan interest rate and the saving of financial expenses in the current period.

Special products and spare parts are expected to become the biggest growth point of the company in the next stage

Electromagnetic energy products are one of the main businesses of the company’s “three electricity” (electromagnetic energy + motor + electronic control), and it is also the breakthrough for the company to take the development of military industry as the development of high-quality development. The company mainly focuses on the construction needs of new naval equipment. Under the technical guidance of the innovation team of the Naval University of engineering, the company has formed two core technologies of integrated power and electromagnetic emission, and is in a leading position in the world. The company is the only manufacturer of China’s ship integrated electric propulsion system and special launch system. The relevant technology has won the national special prize for scientific and technological progress. The product technology and manufacturing capacity are in a leading position outside China. A number of developed products fill the gap in China and have unique advantages. The market share of relevant products is 100%.

The company’s special launch system and ship integrated power system have entered the stage of batch ordering. Combined with the background of the only manufacturer of the company’s special launch system and ship integrated power propulsion system, it is expected to become the largest growth point of the company in the next stage. From the perspective of special launch, the company announced the fixed increase plan on January 25, 2022, which plans to raise 3 billion yuan for the industrialization construction of on-board special products, rail transit and other fields, acquire the minority equity of Xiangdian power and supplement working capital, as shown in the table below:

Among them, the project with the largest total investment is the serial development and industrial construction of vehicle mounted special launch equipment system. The company has laid out the research and production layout of special products and spare parts industry in the next stage. At the same time, the company’s annual report disclosed that the company cooperates with the team of well-known academicians, and the newly cultivated vehicle mounted special equipment system is gradually transforming to serialization and industrialization.
