cement industry has just passed the trough
As for the performance, there is not much bright color in Gansu Qilianshan Cement Group Co.Ltd(600720) , Ningxia Building Materials Group Co.Ltd(600449) or Xinjiang Tianshan Cement Co.Ltd(000877) .
On April 7, Gansu Qilianshan Cement Group Co.Ltd(600720) disclosed the performance forecast. It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company in the first quarter of 2022 will decrease by 41 million yuan to 46 million yuan compared with the same period of the previous year, a year-on-year decrease of 87% to 99%. The main reason for the pre reduction of performance is that affected by the rise of raw coal purchase price, the product sales cost increased year-on-year, resulting in the decline of product gross profit; In addition, some areas where the company is located are affected by covid-19 epidemic, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in cement sales.
Gansu Qilianshan Cement Group Co.Ltd(600720) fell into the dilemma of declining profits in 2021. The company achieved a revenue of 7.673 billion yuan in 2021, a year-on-year decrease of 1.78%, and a net profit attributable to the parent company of 948 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 34.07%. In this regard, Gansu Qilianshan Cement Group Co.Ltd(600720) said that during the reporting period, the sales volume of main products decreased year-on-year, the price of raw and fuel materials rose sharply, and the operating cost increased.
Also affected by the rise in raw coal prices, the net profit attributable to parent company in Ningxia Building Materials Group Co.Ltd(600449) 2021 decreased by 16.96 percentage points over the previous year, reaching 801million yuan.
Xinjiang Tianshan Cement Co.Ltd(000877) over the same period, the revenue was RMB 169979 billion, with a year-on-year increase of 4.83%, the net profit attributable to the parent was RMB 12.53 billion, with a year-on-year decrease of 3.53%, and the net profit deducted was RMB 4.948 billion, with a year-on-year increase of 248.02% Xinjiang Tianshan Cement Co.Ltd(000877) in the annual report, it is mentioned that the net profit after deduction of the company in the last three fiscal years, whichever is lower, is negative, and the audit report of the latest year shows that there is uncertainty in the company's ability to continue operating.
Tianfeng Securities Co.Ltd(601162) research report pointed out that in the first quarter or the low point of the cement industry, in the second quarter, with the year-on-year weakening of the impact of coal price and the opening of price rise, the performance of cement enterprises may improve quarter by quarter. Under the double carbon target, the backward production capacity of the industry will accelerate the exit, and the industry as a whole may develop in the trend of "volume reduction and price increase", and the concentration will further improve.
