The company plans to pay a cash dividend of 5 yuan (including tax) for every 10 shares. The company’s annual revenue grew beautifully, breaking 10 billion for the first time; The profit is mainly affected by the credit impairment of about 770 million yuan caused by the provision for bad debts of real estate and other customers, including 660 million yuan for Evergrande. If the impact of Evergrande’s bad debts is excluded, the annual profit will increase by 19.9% to 1.99 billion and Q4 profit will increase by 20.7% to 650 million. The slowdown of Q1 company’s revenue and profit growth was affected by the high base in the same period and the repeated epidemic in March.

The pressure of raw materials gradually appears, waiting for short-term disturbance repair. Affected by the adjustment of accounting standards for the adjustment of transportation costs into costs, the apparent gross profit margin of Q4 has declined to a certain extent. From the perspective of “gross profit margin – sales expense rate”, the gross sales difference of the whole year / Q4 / Q1 has decreased by 1.6/3.3/1.6pct respectively, which is expected to be mainly affected by the rise of raw material prices. In terms of expense rate, the company has basically remained stable. In 2021, the management / R & D / financial expense rate was – 0.1 / – 0.1 / + 0.5pct to 4.0% / 3.2% / – 1.5% respectively.

In 2022q1, the net profit margin of the company decreased by 1.5pct to 17.5%.

Risk warning: industry competition intensifies; The price of raw materials has risen sharply; Category expansion was less than expected.

Investment suggestion: lower the profit forecast and maintain the “buy” rating. Considering the recent high volatility of raw material prices, the profit forecast is lowered. It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be 2.17/25.8/2.95 billion (the previous value was 2.36/26.8/3.05 billion), with a growth rate of 63.3% / 18.8% / 14.1%; Diluted EPS = 2.29/2.72/3.11 yuan, corresponding PE = 13 / 11 / 10x. As the leader of kitchen appliances in China, the company has successfully expanded its new categories, and the secondary growth is expected to continue, maintaining the “buy” rating
