It is proposed to raise no more than 1 billion yuan for the implementation of special gas and high clean hydrogen peroxide projects

The company plans to raise no more than 1 billion yuan by non-public offering of A-Shares for the implementation of Yizhang KEMET special gas project (with a total investment of 750 million yuan) and Fujian KEMET high clean hydrogen peroxide project with an annual output of 300000 tons (with a total investment of 520 million yuan).

The traditional business is stable and improving: the capacity of carbon dioxide is further increased, and new products such as hydrogen peroxide help the growth

Fujian KEMET plans to invest 520 million yuan to implement 300000 tons / year (27.5%) high clean food and electronic hydrogen peroxide projects. In addition, Jieyang project also includes 300000 tons of high clean hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has the characteristics of transportation radius, supply and demand do not match, and there is a supply gap in some regions such as Fujian.

Electronic special gas creates a new growth pole: rare gas is expected to be in large quantities and officially cut into synthetic products

1) in 2021, rare gases were sold steadily and obtained relevant certification. A total of 19.38 million yuan of rare gas (krypton, xenon and neon) sales contracts were signed. It is expected that rare gases will be released in 2022.

2) Yizhang KEMET Special Gas Co., Ltd. is proposed to be established to officially cut into synthetic gases. The products include halogen gas, VOC standard gas, deuterium gas and other products. The total investment of the project is 750 million yuan. The construction period of the project is three years. It is estimated that the annual income is 650 million yuan, the tax is 100 million yuan and the internal rate of return is as high as 28%.

Profit forecast and investment suggestions

It is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2024 will be RMB 250 / 4.1 / 540 million respectively, with a compound growth rate of 57%, corresponding to 35 / 21 / 16 times of PE respectively, maintaining the “buy” rating.

Risk warning: the production progress of the project is less than expected, and the sales of electronic special gas is less than expected.
