The epidemic has been repeated in many places. The change of product structure in the first quarter has greatly reduced the net profit. In the first quarter of 2022, the company achieved an operating revenue of 145 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.30%. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the company’s main products, tumor related testing products, have significantly reduced the procurement of physical examination customers and hospital customers in Beijing, Guangdong and other markets. Therefore, although the company has increased the market promotion of supporting instruments and consumables required for covid-19 testing, the company’s operating revenue has increased; However, as the gross profit margin of supporting instruments and consumables is much lower than that of the company’s independent testing reagent products, the net profit decreased significantly year-on-year. It is expected that after the epidemic situation improves, the sales of the company’s main products are expected to return to the normal level.
