Analysis and judgment:

Rapid growth of revenue and full flowering of products

In 2021, the company achieved a revenue of 11.46 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 76.0%, of which 2021q4 revenue was 3.64 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 66.0% and a month on month increase of + 25.2%. We judge that the rapid growth of revenue mainly benefited from the large volume of supporting projects for new energy customers at home and abroad, such as Tesla, Byd Company Limited(002594) , weixiaoli and rivian. By product, including: 1) shock absorber: the revenue in 2021 was 3.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 30.7%, accounting for 29.2%; 2) Interior functional parts: the revenue in 2021 was 3.58 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 60.9%, and the corresponding revenue accounted for 31.2%; 3) Lightweight chassis system: the revenue in 2021 was 2.62 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 97.2%, accounting for 15.4% of the corresponding revenue; 4) Automotive electronics: the revenue in 2021 was 180 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 2.2%, and the corresponding revenue accounted for 1.6%; 5) Thermal management system: the revenue in 2021 is 1.28 billion yuan, with a net increment, accounting for 11.2%. The growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company was slightly lower than that of revenue, mainly due to the decline of gross profit margin caused by the rise in the price of raw materials. The company actively embraced new energy, continuously expanded the product line related to electric intelligence, actively expanded the global intelligent electric customer base and explored tier0 Level 5 supporting mode, showing a trend of simultaneous increase in volume and price, and we expect the performance to continue to grow at a high rate.

The gross profit margin of the company in 2021 was 19.9%, with a year-on-year rate of -2.8pct, of which the gross profit margin in 2021q4 was 17.6%, with a year-on-year rate of + 1.5pct and a month on month rate of -3.6pct. We judged that it was mainly affected by the rise in the price of raw materials and the fluctuation of exchange rate. By product: 1) shock absorber: the gross profit margin in 2021 was 23.8%, year-on-year -2.7pct, which was mainly affected by the fluctuation of rubber price; 2) Interior functional parts: the gross profit margin in 2021 was 17.3%, with a year-on-year increase of -0.7pct, which was mainly affected by the fluctuation of oil price, with a small decrease, mainly due to the obvious increase of capacity utilization; 3) Lightweight chassis system: the gross profit margin in 2021 was 17.7%, with a year-on-year increase of + 2.4pct. Affected by the fluctuation of aluminum price, the improvement against the trend mainly benefited from the improvement of capacity utilization; 4) Automotive electronics: the gross profit margin in 2021 was 26.3%, year-on-year -2.2pct; 5) Thermal management system: the gross profit margin in 2021 is 17.8%.
