China's largest metal additive manufacturer will fully benefit from the scale advantage in the future. During the reporting period, the preparation and application verification of titanium alloy and superalloy powder materials were completed, mass production was realized, and the production capacity reached more than 400 tons. Phase II metal additive manufacturing intelligent factory project was completed and put into production. The product application of additive manufacturing technology has gradually entered the stage of small batch production from customized products. The industrial chain maturity, cost reduction and manufacturing mode transformation brought by batch production will continue to expand the downstream customer group, and the company's performance is expected to maintain high-speed growth.
Continue to increase R & D investment and consolidate its leading position in material addition. The company's R & D expenses reached 4.07 billion yuan in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 4.01%. This is mainly due to the company's promotion of industrial development through technological innovation, further strengthening the construction of R & D capacity, the increase in the number of R & D personnel and their salaries, and the increase in R & D projects. During the reporting period, the company broke through a number of technical difficulties in the optimization of additive manufacturing equipment, process, raw materials and structural design, obtained a number of patents, and further improved the stability of equipment and the engineering application of products. At present, the company has ten major projects under research. With the gradual implementation of research results, the company's products are expected to further obtain market recognition and consolidate its leading position in the industry.
Investment suggestion: the company is a leading enterprise in the field of metal additive. The product layout is comprehensive, covering 3D printing equipment, 3D printing customized products, 3D printing raw materials, etc. The company has strong technical strength and its product performance is at the leading level in China. In the future, additive products will gradually enter the stage of mass production, and the company's revenue is expected to maintain a high-speed growth trend. We predict that the net profit of the company from 2022 to 2024 will be 139 million yuan, 217 million yuan and 324 million yuan respectively, and the corresponding PE will be 84.2, 53.8 and 36.1 respectively. For the first time, give a "overweight" rating.
Risk tip: the downstream customer expansion is unfavorable, and the reliability of additive products is lower than expected.
