The company achieved a revenue of 3.75 billion yuan in 2022q1, a year-on-year increase of +54.3% and a month on month increase of +2.9%. We judge that the revenue growth on a month on month basis is mainly due to the significant increase of new energy customers such as Tesla, of which the global output of Tesla in 2021q1 reached 305000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of +69%. We expect that Tesla‘s revenue is expected to account for more than 45%. The net profit attributable to the parent company was 390 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of + 56.8% and a month on month increase of + 46.2%. We judged that the year-on-year growth rate of profit was slightly higher than that of income, mainly benefiting from the scale effect. The company actively embraces new energy, continuously expands the product line related to electric intelligence, actively expands the global intelligent electric customer base, and explores tier0 Level 5 supporting mode, showing a trend of simultaneous increase in volume and price, and the performance is expected to continue to grow at a high level.

The gross profit margin of the company in 2022q1 was 20.8%, with a year-on-year ratio of – 1.2pct and a month on month ratio of + 3.2pct. We judged that the year-on-year decrease was mainly affected by the rise in the price of raw materials and exchange rate fluctuations, but the significant improvement in the month on month ratio benefited from the appearance of scale effect, the improvement of internal management and the landing of price adjustment compensation with customers. In terms of expenses, the sales expense rate, management expense rate, R & D expense rate and financial expense rate in 2022q1 were 1.4%, 2.5%, 4.1% and 0.1% respectively, with a year-on-year ratio of -0.2pct, -0.5pct, -0.5pct and 0.0pct, and a month-on-month ratio of -0.2pct, + 0.3pct, 0.0pct and -0.7pct, highlighting the scale effect.
