Comments:

In 2021, the company achieved an operating revenue of 1.916 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.80%. Due to the superposition of various adverse factors, the company still achieved the same increase in output and sales

In 2021, due to repeated global epidemics, obvious inflation trend, general rise in raw material prices, tight international shipping, sharp rise in transportation prices, fluctuation of RMB appreciation and other factors, the operation of the company has been affected to a certain extent. There are several reasons for the improvement of the company’s revenue: 1) give full play to the production capacity. In 2021, the capacity utilization rate of conveyor belts, the company’s main products, reached 96.73%. The company produced 652943 million square meters of conveyor belts, with a year-on-year increase of 14.08%, and sold 632666 million square meters of conveyor belts, with a year-on-year increase of 8.88%. 2) Actively adjust the sales model. In 2021, the company accurately grasped the market trend of rubber conveyor belt, formulated a practical marketing model, timely adjusted the sales strategy according to the changes of market sales, improved the internal linkage between pre-sales and after-sales, production and sales, technology and production, and increased the business increment of the project and construction materials industry. 3) Promote the application of new scenarios. On the basis of consolidating the existing market share, actively explore new sales channels and markets, and continue to improve the market share. Seizing the track in the incremental market, the company vigorously promotes the long-distance conveyor belt project, provides the overall solution of intelligent material conveying system, and solves the all-round needs of customers from products to services. In Q4 of 2021, the net profit attributable to the parent company was 09 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 88.86% and a month on month decrease of 79.82%; The decrease of Q4 net profit margin is due to the increase of raw material cost, which leads to the decrease of product gross profit margin.

In 2021, the net profit attributable to the parent company was 149 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 52.82%. The net profit was dragged down by the increase of raw material costs and the rise of sea freight

During the reporting period, the net profit attributable to the parent company was 149 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 52.82%; The net profit attributable to the parent company after non deduction was 115 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 61.39%. The year-on-year decrease in net profit was mainly due to the rise in raw material prices and sea freight prices, and the lag in the transmission of cost increases to the downstream.

According to Bloomberg, as of April 22, 2022, the freight rate of 40 foot TEU from China to the west of the United States in the FBX index was US $1576370/feu, 11.50 times higher than that in early 2020; The price from China to Europe is 1188200 USD / feu, which is 6.29 times higher than that at the beginning of 2020. The price from China to the east of the United States is 1714970 USD / feu, which is 6.47 times higher than that at the beginning of 2020.

During the reporting period, the prices of main raw materials of conveyor belt increased significantly, especially in the second half of 2021. According to the data disclosed in the annual report, in the second half of 2021, the price of natural rubber purchased by the company was 11508 yuan / ton, a year-on-year increase of 14.62%, and the price of synthetic rubber was 12639 yuan / ton, a year-on-year increase of 41.53%; The price of nylon canvas was 14.65 yuan / m2, with a year-on-year increase of 34.44%; The price of polyester canvas was 11.28 yuan / m2, with a year-on-year increase of 15.46%.

The capacity utilization rate reached 96.73%, and the launch of new capacity will further enhance the scale advantage

At present, the company has built a conveyor belt capacity of 75 million square meters / year, and achieved a capacity utilization rate of 96.73% in 2021, with a market share of about 13%. The company’s current strategy is to double the capacity and market share during the 14th Five Year Plan period, that is, the capacity will reach 150 million square meters / year. At present, Tongxiang Desheng’s annual output of 15 million square meters of high-strength steel wire rope core conveyor belt has entered the final stage of commissioning and trial production, The planning and design of fabric core conveyor belt with an annual output of 60 million square meters will be completed and will enter the construction period. With the continuous expansion of production capacity, the scale effect of the company is obvious. Production costs have been gradually reduced, product price advantages have been further highlighted, and market competitiveness has been continuously enhanced. At the same time, with the continuous promotion of supply side reform, the upgrading of environmental protection policies, the increase of the entry threshold of the rubber products industry, and the continuous elimination of small enterprises with insufficient qualifications, it is more conducive to the development of enterprises at the head of the conveyor belt, and the concentration of the conveyor belt industry is further improved.

Increased demand for long-distance conveyor belt projects

Due to the stricter requirements of the state on environmental protection and the demand of enterprises for energy conservation and efficiency, conveyor belt has obvious advantages in replacing truck transportation. Compared with truck transportation, conveyor belt transportation has the advantages of more environmental protection, energy conservation and efficiency. Therefore, the company’s downstream customers have gradually built long-distance conveyor belt projects in power, cement, steel, port and other industries in recent years to replace traditional highway transportation. With the increase of conveyor belt application scenarios, the demand for long-distance conveyor belts will increase steadily in the future.
