Event overview

The company announced: preliminary data show that grammer’s profitability in the first quarter of 2022 is significantly lower than that in the same period last year, with an EBIT loss of about 1 million euros (a profit of 22.6 million euros in the same period last year) and an operating EBIT loss of about 2.5 million euros (a profit of 21 million euros in the same period last year). According to preliminary statistics, grammer’s sales in the first quarter were slightly higher than that in the same period last year (503.7 million euros in the same period last year), so it was basically in line with expectations.

Analysis and judgment:

Grammer’s performance is better than expected, waiting for the suppression factors to ease

Grammer expects that the sales volume of 2022q1 will increase slightly year-on-year (500 million euros in the same period last year, equivalent to 3.46 billion yuan), and the EBIT will lose about 1 million euros (equivalent to about 6.92 million yuan), which is improved compared with the profit of 22.6 million euros (equivalent to about 160 million yuan) in the same period last year, compared with the loss of 75 billion euros (equivalent to about 51.9 million yuan) in 2021q4, The operating EBIT loss was about 2.5 million euros (about 17.3 million yuan). Compared with the profit of 21 million euros (about 150 million yuan) in the same period last year, the loss of 79 billion euros (about 54.66 million yuan) in 2021q4 was improved. The year-on-year decline in profitability was mainly affected by the rise of raw materials, energy prices and shipping charges, the shutdown and core shortage in China caused by the epidemic. If the one-time special freight of about 4 million euros in the Americas is added back, it will achieve a small profit, which is better than the market expectation and reflects the effect of integration. With the gradual easing of repressive factors, it will have high repair flexibility.

Breakthrough in domestic replacement of passenger car seats from 0 to 1

In October 2021, the company obtained the fixed point of the passenger car seat project of a new power brand main engine factory, which is a breakthrough from 0 to 1. We expect that the value of a single car will increase from Shenzhen Jt Automation Equipment Co.Ltd(300400) yuan (headrest + armrest, tier2) to 5000 yuan (seat assembly, Tier1). Due to high technical barriers, passenger car seats have long been monopolized by Andorra, Lear and other foreign suppliers. The company is the leader in the subdivision of seat headrests in the world. We estimate that the global market share is more than 25%, reflecting strong cost control ability. It is expected that in the future, it is expected to accelerate the share in the field of passenger car seats and open up growth space by virtue of cost performance and rapid response ability.
