Comments: the performance is under pressure in the short term. After the risk of centralized purchase of medical insurance is released, it can be loaded lightly. The decline in profit is greater than that in operating income. It is mainly due to the factors such as the company’s accelerated R & D investment, centralized volume procurement and the decline in gross profit margin caused by the sharp price reduction of national medical insurance negotiation products during the reporting period. We expect that the risks of centralized procurement and medical insurance will be released in 22 years, and the follow-up will be strong and return to growth.

Innovation investment continued to increase, and innovative drugs achieved remarkable results. The company’s annual R & D expenditure was 5.943 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.1%, and the R & D expenditure rate reached 23%. The continuous R & D investment supported the company’s rich innovation pipeline. 1) Three indications of PD-1 monoclonal antibody carrelizhu were approved in 2021, and the application for listing was submitted in combination with apatinib in the treatment of first-line liver cancer. 2) HER-2 inhibitor pyrrolidone was declared to be listed as a new adjuvant therapy for HER2 positive breast cancer in September 2021 and was included in the priority review. 3) PARP inhibitor fluzoparil was approved in June 2021.

According to the annual report of 2021, we adjusted the profit forecast. Affected by the price reduction of medical insurance and centralized purchase, we lowered the sales expectation of PD-1 and centralized purchase varieties. It is estimated that the operating revenue of the company in 20222024 will be 23.19 billion yuan (37 billion yuan before adjustment), 28.218 billion yuan (45.4 billion yuan before adjustment) and 33.27 billion yuan respectively, with a year-on-year increase of – 10%, 21.7% and 17.9% respectively. The company is a leading enterprise of innovative drugs in China. Centralized purchase and medical insurance are temporary effects, and the future growth can be expected to maintain the “buy” rating.
