The gross profit margin of 21q4 in a single quarter is 9.90% (+ 0.70pct.), The net interest rate attributable to the parent company is 2.28% (-9.60pct.), The rise in Q4 pulp price is superimposed with the rise in the cost of energy and chemical auxiliary materials, and the profitability decreases month on month (the rise in apparent gross profit margin in a single quarter is a change in the caliber of accounting treatment). 2) In terms of period expenses, the rates of sales, management, R & D and financial expenses in 2021 were 0.43% / 4.22% / 1.68% / 1.77% respectively, with a year-on-year increase of -0.05 / - 0.71 / - 0.22 / - 0.70pct, The scale effect is prominent and the operation efficiency is significantly improved.
Cultural paper: the rise of pulp price is superimposed on the improvement of supply and demand, and the profit is expected to hit the bottom and reverse. In 2021, the company's uncoated cultural paper achieved a revenue of 8.671 billion yuan (+ 20.29%) and a gross profit margin of 15.96% (- 6.54 PCT.); Coated paper achieved a revenue of 4.099 billion yuan (+ 16.80%) and a gross profit margin of 19.73% (- 5.68 PCT.). 21h2, affected by the high price of Chinese wood pulp paper and the sluggish demand of overseas epidemic, a large number of overseas low-cost paper were imported into China, superimposed with the impact of the double reduction policy of education, and the supply, demand and price of cultural paper weakened. Looking forward to 2022, the overseas supply of pulp is disturbed, and the pulp price fluctuates at a high level in the first half of the second half, forming cost support; At the same time, the marginal contradiction between supply and demand of finished paper has slowed down, and paper enterprises have a strong willingness to support prices.

We expect that the sun cultural paper business is expected to usher in a profit reversal and a month on month rebound in volume and price.

In 2021, the company realized revenue of 9.87 billion yuan (+ 136.59%) and gross profit margin of 15.43% (- 0.93 PCT.). The high increase in the revenue performance of packaging paper in 2021 is due to the full release of the production capacity of 800000 tons of high-grade packaging paper in Laos, the elimination of foreign waste imports and the dual control of energy consumption. The price of packaging paper has increased steadily, especially the high-end box board paper, with an obvious premium supported by high-quality fiber resources.
