The company’s performance in 2021 was lower than expected, mainly due to the impairment and scrapping of long-term assets during the reporting period, of which the provision for impairment was 283 million and the scrapping and disposal of fixed assets was 448 million, a total of 731 million, with an overall decrease in the net profit attributable to the parent company in 2021 of 672 million yuan.

The profit forecast refers to the current zinc price and the assumption that the zinc in 2022 is basically good.
