Key investment points:

The company’s net profit attributable to its parent company hit a new high since its listing, and disposed of several subsidiaries to focus on its main business

During the reporting period, the company’s revenue (RMB 3.851 billion, + 6.24%) increased steadily, and the gross profit rate increased slightly (29.23%, + 0.88pcts), which was mainly due to the rapid growth of the company’s chip business, ceramic components business and automotive intelligent Internet connection business. The company’s net profit attributable to the parent company (203 million yuan, + 38.22%) and net profit deducted from non attributable to the parent company (131 million yuan, + 105.70%) both reached a new high since listing, and the net interest rate (5.04%, + 1.48 PCTs) increased significantly, also reaching a new high in recent three years. We believe that it is mainly due to the significant growth of deferred income amortization (54 million yuan, + 47.67%) and value-added tax rebate (36 million yuan, + 67.77%) in the company’s other income. At the same time, the company has obtained a total of 30 million yuan of Beidou major special subsidies and Xiantao data Valley industry support funds, and the sharp decline of income tax (06 million yuan, – 86.09%).

2022q1, benefiting from the chip business market, especially the demand growth in high-precision and Internet of things applications, the company expects the net profit attributable to the parent company to be 42-50 million yuan, which is the best start since the company was listed in 2007.

Specifically, the company’s main business consists of chip and data services, navigation products, ceramic components and automotive electronics. During the reporting period, the details of each business are as follows:

① chip and data service business is the core advantage business of the company, with rapid growth in revenue (RMB 757 million, + 28.97%), mainly due to the increase in revenue of high-precision satellite positioning chip / module / board products in UAV, Internet of things, vehicle navigation, driving training and driving test, measurement and mapping, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) and other major fields, and the introduction of standard precision products to large customers. The growth rate of chip business and PCTs’ net profit of 1.0 billion yuan and 1.0-2.3 billion yuan, which is also worth noting that the growth rate of PCTs’s core business and PCTs’s net profit of 1.0 billion yuan and 1.0-2.3 billion yuan (1.0-2.37%) is also higher than that of PCTs’s (1.0 billion yuan), + 3.3 billion yuan, which is also worth noting, We think it may be related to the change of product structure at different levels of xinxingtong.

② the revenue of navigation products (994 million yuan, + 1.12%) increased slightly, and the gross profit margin (35.62%, + 3.00pcts) also increased, mainly due to the company’s stable profitability of traditional international agency business, the expansion of high-precision positioning antenna business in other fields on the basis of the steady rise of traditional surveying and mapping business, and the improvement of product quality and delivery capacity of information equipment business.

③ the business income of ceramic components (RMB 163 million, + 18.65%) increased steadily, and the gross profit margin (37.50%, + 1.26pcts) increased slightly, mainly due to the significant growth in the sales of 5g base station filter products and HTCC encapsulated ceramic products, and the continuous promotion of 5g small base station and WiFi 6e in the market.

④ automotive electronics business is one of the main sources of revenue of the company in recent years.
