In 2021, the company was greatly affected by the fluctuation of mask business and baby care products OEM business, and was optimistic about the development of its own brand adult incontinence products business for a long time

The company is a leading manufacturer of disposable sanitary products in China and adopts the operation mode of ODM + independent brand two wheel drive; The dominance of ODM will not change in the short term. From the perspective of product business, ODM business products mainly produce baby care products and pet hygiene products, and independent brand business mainly produces adult series products. In 2021, the revenue was mainly affected by the decline of income related to baby care products. At the same time, with the gradual improvement of the epidemic, the sales of masks continued to decline, which also had a certain impact on the company’s revenue. Excluding the impact of income from epidemic prevention materials, the company’s revenue in 2021 decreased by 19.01% compared with the same period of the previous year. Excluding the impact of income from epidemic prevention materials, the independent brand business actually realized a year-on-year increase of 6.15%, and the decline of ODM business also narrowed.

From a quarterly perspective, in 2021, except that the first quarter increased compared with the same period last year, they all decreased year-on-year; After deducting the impact of epidemic factors, 202q4 is the peak season in winter (the partial heat in summer will reduce the use of products to a certain extent) and the consumption Festival promotion activities at the end of the year. The year-on-year decline is narrowed compared with the previous two quarters, but the advantage of the traditional peak season is not obvious; Combined with the 2020 sales data disclosed by the company, the impact of mask business on the company is mainly concentrated in q22020q4, and the impact degree is basically the same as Q1, falling to less than 10 million yuan. Although the company achieved a slight year-on-year decline of q2.24 billion since the end of the cold season in 2018, the company’s sales performance was slightly higher than that of q2.4 billion in 2021, which showed that the company gradually achieved a year-on-year decline of q2.4 billion in 2021.

In 2021, the gross profit margin of sales was 18.64pct, a year-on-year decrease of 9.19pct, and the expense rate during the period increased by 3.90pct; In 2022q1, the gross profit margin of sales was 12.07 PCT, a year-on-year decrease of 13.30 PCT, and the expense rate increased by 0.58 PCT during the period

In 2021, the company achieved a gross profit margin of 18.64%, a sharp decline over the same period of last year. On the one hand, in order to reduce the gross profit of the company’s own brand (for example, ODM) will also be promoted to reduce the gross profit of the company’s own brand; On the other hand, the sales of mask business with the highest gross profit level fell sharply, so the gross profit margin changed structurally.

The company’s expense rate during 2021 increased by 3.90 percentage points year-on-year. Among the expenses during the period, the sales expense ratio increased the most, with an increase of 3.64% over the same period of last year, mainly due to the increase of marketing expenses (a significant increase of 175042 million yuan to Ningbo Fubang Jingye Group Co.Ltd(600768) million yuan year-on-year) and human resources costs. At the same time, the proportion of management expenses in sales revenue increased by 1.61% over the same period of last year, mainly due to the cancellation of tax and social security concessions in 2020 in 2021 and the increase of listing expenses and depreciation expenses of the company in 2021; The decrease in financial expenses was mainly due to interest income (a year-on-year decrease of 102948 million yuan to -126485 million yuan) and exchange gains and losses (a year-on-year decrease of 17.055 million yuan to 4.3736 million yuan).

During the first quarter of 2022, the expenses increased by 0.58% year-on-year. The company continued to expand its own brand market, the relevant sales expenses continued to rise, the management expenses increased slightly, and the other expenses were not different from those in the same period.
