Comments:
Focusing on lithium cathode + polarizer, the company's performance greatly exceeded expectations. The company's business mainly focuses on lithium battery materials and polarizers. In terms of lithium battery materials, in 2021, the company shipped 101000 tons of negative materials, a year-on-year increase of 65.74%, 17000 tons of electrolyte and 22000 tons of positive materials. The total revenue of lithium battery materials was 9.13 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.95%, and the gross profit was 2.48 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 98.4%. In terms of polarizers, the company shipped 11000 square meters, achieved a revenue of 9.94 billion yuan and a gross profit of 2.445 billion yuan. The performance is close to the upper limit of the forecast and greatly exceeds the market expectation.
Technical strength casts the core competitiveness and product quality to seize the high-end market. The quality of the company's negative electrode materials is excellent. High end material fast charging products have been recognized by downstream customers with the company's product quality. In 21 years, the company's shipment proportion has increased to 50%. At the same time, the company's silicon-based negative electrode products have taken the lead in realizing large-scale market application, and the technology is significantly ahead of industry competitors. The company continues to research and develop new technologies and products, such as developing the third generation of silicon oxide materials and the new generation of silicon carbon materials, developing the application of natural graphite in large EV, developing high-capacity and high first effect hard carbon and low-cost soft carbon for lithium battery, etc.
Accelerated expansion of graphite integrated production capacity is expected to continue to achieve both volume and profit. The company reached the production capacity of Baotou phase I in Inner Mongolia in 21 years, and the cost reduction effect of the integrated production line is obvious. At present, the company is accelerating Baotou phase II and Sichuan Meishan projects, of which the design capacity of Baotou phase II project is 60000 tons and the graphitization supporting facilities are 52000 tons. It has begun to climb gradually at the end of 21 years, and is expected to reach the production capacity in 22 years; Meishan project has received energy assessment and environmental assessment. 100000 tons of phase I is expected to be put into trial production by the end of 22. These two integration projects are expected to significantly improve the graphitization self-sufficiency rate of the company and reduce the cost. With the sharp rise of graphitization outsourcing price and raw material price, the company actively arranges the graphite integration project. In the future, with the improvement of graphitization self-sufficiency rate and the optimization of supply chain management, we believe that the trend of both volume and profit of the company is expected to continue.
