We believe that it is mainly due to the improvement of the company’s degree of productization and the gradual decline of labor costs. According to the disclosure of the annual report, the company’s labor and technical service costs increased by only 1.81% year-on-year in 2021, which is far lower than the growth rate of the revenue side, which has made a great contribution to the improvement of the comprehensive gross profit margin.

We believe that the capital expenditure of banks in informatization is growing continuously, and the development of emerging businesses such as digital RMB will also accelerate the investment in informatization of the banking industry.

From the perspective of non banking industry, in 2021, the company will increase the layout of products and solutions in the pan financial fields such as securities, futures, funds and insurance to provide security for its national secret transformation projects. We believe that the demand of the securities and futures industry for the transformation of state secrets is expected to continue to release, resulting in an increase in the company’s performance.
Take finance as the core and expand government and enterprise customers horizontally. With years of deep cultivation in the financial field, the company now has a full range of products such as identity security, communication security, data security, mobile security, cloud security and security platform, which is expected to expand customers horizontally from the financial industry.
