In 2021, the company’s annual comprehensive gross profit margin was 35.5% (- 2.5pp), which was mainly due to the rising cost of raw materials, the global shortage of containers, the high freight cost, and the increase in depreciation after the 4 million smart electric beds project (phase I) was put into operation during the reporting period.

According to ISPA data, the sales penetration rate of smart electric beds in the United States in 2021 was about 13.9% (+ 0.4pp). With the popularization of intelligent furniture and the transformation and upgrading of consumption habits, the market space of smart electric beds is sufficient. In 2021, benefiting from the extended stay at home after the epidemic and the booming real estate sales in the United States, the demand for furniture in the United States surged, and the revenue of the company’s main major customer TSI (tepur Silian) increased by 34.1% year-on-year in fiscal year 2021. In 2021, the company renewed the three-year electric bed product manufacturing and supply agreement with tepur international. From 2019 to 2021, the company’s sales to the largest customer TSI accounted for 41.8%, 47.2% and 49.7% respectively. In the short term, the company has a solid cooperative relationship with major customers. In addition, the company reached a global strategic cooperation agreement with Garmin in 2021. Garmin is a leading global supplier of smart watches, fitness tracking and digital health solutions. The establishment of cooperation with Garmin represents the company’s further expansion into the field of data application. In the Chinese market, electric beds and smart beds are in their infancy in China. At present, the company mainly strengthens product cognition and market education through hotels, real estate, health care, e-commerce and other channels. It is expected that with the increase of market participants and the improvement of channels, the Chinese market has full growth space. In terms of sub channels, the company focuses on bulk channel sales, and e-commerce channels grow rapidly. In 2021, the company’s bulk / online channel revenue was 2.36 billion yuan (+ 27.9%) and 440 million yuan (+ 50.1%) respectively.

The production capacity expanded steadily and the automation level was further improved. In September 2020, the intelligent factory invested by the company has been officially put into operation. At present, the production capacity of electric bedsteads in China has reached 2 million sets, the automation level has been greatly improved, and the production efficiency is at the leading level in the industry. At the same time, in order to enhance the company’s response to international trade risks, avoid international trade barriers, shorten the supply cycle, timely respond to customers’ needs and further expand overseas new markets, the company has also established factories with a planned capacity of 500000 sets / year in Vietnam and Mexico. The Vietnamese plant was successfully put into operation at the end of 2019, and the Mexican plant has been successfully put into operation in 2021 since it was started in 2020. In 2021, the company planned the phase II 4 million smart electric bed headquarters project, the research center and production supporting plant project, which will be successfully started in 2022. It is expected that the annual production capacity of 1 million sets of sensors and the data center service capacity of 24000 electric beds will be formed after the project is completed.

It is estimated that the EPS from 2022 to 2024 will be 1.55 yuan, 1.87 yuan and 2.18 yuan respectively, and the corresponding PE will be 11, 9 and 8 times respectively.
