At the same time, the gross profit margin changed by + 0.27 / – 0.99 percentage points year-on-year to 85.06% / 60.22% respectively. The main reasons for the continuous increase of the revenue proportion / gross profit margin of high-grade wine are as follows: 1) under the implementation of the three development strategies of product upgrading and innovation, brand upgrading and marketing breakthrough, In 2021, zhenniang 8 + well platform + well platform ice and snow increased by 55% year-on-year; Essence + collection 2021 + collection ice and snow + collection Sanxingdui increased by 58% year-on-year. In terms of volume and price, the sales volume / price increased by 45% / 7% on average, and the volume increase was the main driving force of the performance: in 2021, the sales volume of high-grade wine and medium-grade wine reached 10358 (+ 40.44%) / 674 (+ 38.87%) kiloliters respectively; The average price changed by + 9.89% / – 3.22% year-on-year to 43.63151500 yuan / kiloliter respectively. The growth rate of the company in the same quarter is slower than that in the previous quarter due to the dislocation of the main control orders and Q4 in the same period; The slowdown in the growth of net profit is mainly due to the increase in the investment of pre expenses related to high-end and the increase in the expenses related to the employee stock ownership plan.

In terms of market, the eight core markets are deeply cultivated and the six markets are developing at a high speed. In 2021, China / foreign countries achieved a revenue of 4.587/34 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 53.14% / 291.76% respectively; The gross profit margin was 84.61% / 71.16% respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 0.38/1.15 percentage points. Specifically, in 2021, the company’s eight core markets increased by 61% year-on-year (six markets continued to grow at a high speed, Henan was affected by the epidemic and flood / Hunan was affected by the active adjustment, and the overall growth rate was slightly lower), while other markets increased by 44% year-on-year.

In 2021, the gross profit margin / net profit margin of the company changed by + 0.33 / + 1.56 percentage points to 84.51% / 25.89% respectively compared with the same period last year.

22q1 affected by the epidemic, the superimposed cost increased, and the profit was under pressure in the short term

In terms of products, the revenue has maintained steady growth, and many measures have been taken to hedge the impact of the epidemic. 22q1 achieved steady growth in revenue, of which the revenue of high-grade / medium-grade liquor was 1.36 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.15% / 57.14%, of which the revenue of high-grade liquor increased by 0.80 percentage points to 97.88% compared with the same period last year. The growth rate of net profit in 22q1 was lower than expected, mainly due to the increase of expenses. The company maintained performance growth under the epidemic by means of online press conference / small tasting / code scanning activities / strengthening group purchase. Financial aspect: affected by the increase of expense rate, the profitability is under pressure for a short time.

Looking forward to the 22nd year: build high-end large single products, deeply cultivate the core market, and achieve a high target of 15% performance growth. In 2022, the company will: 1) strengthen the core, and zhenniang No. 8 will continue to lead the growth of scale; 2) continue to implement three strategies to build well and high quality baijiu. 3) Accelerate product innovation and expand product quality upgrading; 4) Deeply cultivate the eight core markets, accelerate growth and strengthen the growth of e-commerce business; 5) Maintain agility and resilience in times of uncertainty and difficulties. We believe that: the company will continue to focus on the collection and above products, so as to promote the brand value / price of zhenniang No. 8 and well platform, guide the price upgrading, and the high-end effect can be expected. The revenue proportion of collection and above high-end products is expected to increase to double digits. The main reasons are: 1) gene: the company’s high-end gene is the necessary basis for realizing the high-end strategy; 2) Channel: at present, the upgraded collection of new products has been listed and is in the stage of distribution. The establishment of high-end wine platform will effectively activate the channel and make the investment of high-end products more flexible. High end sales companies have joined more than 200 merchants and connected with more than 2000 enterprise customers; 3) Marketing: make up for the weakness of previous consumer cultivation, take consumer cultivation as the current focus, and establish “Lion King Hui” to lock in opinion leaders and match the high-end strategy for circle marketing. Considering that the effect of high-end strategy will gradually appear, the medium and long-term development logic of the company is smooth.
