Future core focus:
① the company is the leader of titanium materials in China. It is planned to become a strong enterprise in the international titanium industry in the 14th five year plan. The annual output of titanium materials of the company ranks first in China, and it is one of the main suppliers of titanium materials for China's aviation and aerospace exports. The actual production capacity of titanium processed materials reaches 30938 tons in 2021. The company's "14th five year plan" development strategy plans to reach the production capacity of 50000 tons of titanium products and a certain amount of zirconium, nickel and other metal products, consolidate and enhance the leading role of the industry, and is expected to build a strong enterprise in the international titanium industry.
② the high-end titanium material project is gradually put into operation, and the structure of titanium products is continuously optimized. At the beginning of 2021, the company successfully completed the non-public offering of shares, raising a net amount of 1.968 billion yuan to ensure the smooth implementation of the titanium project invested by raising funds. (1) Aerospace wide width titanium alloy sector and strip foil project is expected to increase production by 1500 tons / year of sector, 5000 tons / year of titanium strip and 500 tons / year of foil; (2) The project of high-quality titanium ingots, pipes and profiles is expected to increase the production of titanium ingots by 10000 tons / year, pipes by 290 tons / year and titanium alloy profiles by 100 tons / year; As the titanium material project is gradually put into operation, the titanium product structure of the company will be further optimized at that time.
③ the production of sponge titanium and zirconium tetrachloride was expanded, and the self-sufficiency rate of raw materials of the company was improved. The expansion project with an annual output of 12000 tons of sponge titanium and 3000 tons of zirconium tetrachloride has been gradually promoted. By the end of 2021, the completion progress of the project is 90%. With the gradual completion and operation of sponge titanium production capacity, the self-sufficiency rate of raw materials of the company has been improved to ensure the stability of the company's performance.
Investment suggestion: benefiting from the development of aerospace, marine engineering and other downstream fields, the company has broad demand space for titanium materials. With the production of high-end titanium products, the company's performance can be released. We expect that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be RMB 788 / 1057 / 1389 million, corresponding to the closing price of RMB 48.06 on April 15, 2022, and the PE will be 29 / 22 / 17 times from 2022 to 2024, maintaining the "recommended" rating of the company.
Risk warning: downstream demand is less than expected; Price fluctuation risk of raw materials; The project is not progressing as expected.
