Comments:

The expense rate of overseas expansion increased, and the provision for impairment reduced the net interest rate

The growth of the company's revenue was basically in line with our expectations, while the net interest rate in 21 years decreased by 3.18pct to 7.06% year-on-year, mainly due to the increase of sales expenses, the provision of large assets and credit impairment losses. In the past 21 years, the company has strengthened the construction of overseas sales channels. The salary of sales personnel and the accrued maintenance expenses have increased significantly, and the sales expenses have increased by 62.58% year-on-year; The delayed grid connection of the company's overseas power stations affects the electricity revenue, resulting in an increase in bad debt losses of accounts receivable; Some energy storage projects were not delivered in time, resulting in an increase in the impairment loss of contract performance costs. The company has withdrawn a total of 480 million yuan of assets and credit impairment losses in 21 years, which dragged down the performance.

The global inverter leader actively expanded its production and further increased its market share

Inverter shipments increased by 34% year-on-year, accounting for more than 30% of the global market in 21 years (27% in 20 years). In October 2021, the company raised 3.6 billion yuan to build 100gw new energy power generation equipment capacity. It is expected that the capacity of photovoltaic inverter in 23 years will be 1.8 times larger than that in 21 years, that of wind power converter will be 2.4 times larger and that of energy storage converter will be 2.7 times larger. With strong downstream demand and sufficient orders on hand, the company is expected to enhance the scale effect, further improve the market share and consolidate the global leading position.

Energy storage business takes over and opens the second growth curve

In 21 years, the delivery volume of the company's energy storage system reached 3gwh, with a year-on-year increase of 275%, and the revenue of energy storage business increased by 169%. According to xinlune information, in February 22 years ago, China's output of energy storage cells increased by 60% year-on-year. It is expected that the energy storage industry will continue to have a high outlook in the future. The company's energy storage business adheres to the cell free strategy and focuses on giving full play to the advantages of power control transformation, safety management and system integration, which can avoid the risks brought by cell technology iteration. In the future, it will take over the photovoltaic inverter and become a new driving force for the company's performance growth.

Profit forecast and investment suggestions

It is expected that the supply of raw materials will remain tight in the future, and the company will continue to increase investment in overseas sales channels and R & D. we lowered the profit forecast.
