The decline in revenue of rail transit train air conditioning services and new energy vehicle air conditioning was mainly affected by the delay in order delivery caused by the epidemic. Affected by adverse factors such as repeated outbreaks and rising raw material costs, the company’s gross profit margin is under pressure in the short term. In 2021, the gross profit decreased by 5.63 PCT to 29.35% year-on-year, and in 2022, Q1 decreased by 7.6 PCT to 27.38% year-on-year. Affected by the decline of gross profit margin, the net profit attributable to the parent company of Q1 decreased by 59.25% year-on-year to 13 million yuan in 2022. It is expected that in the future, with the stabilization of raw material prices and the continuous expansion of new products, the company’s gross profit margin is expected to stabilize and recover.

Due to the decline of gross profit margin, the net profit margin of the company decreased by 1.68pct to 8.92% year-on-year in 2021. Affected by the decline of net interest rate, the roe of the company in 2021 decreased by 1.14pct to 12.58% year-on-year. In 2021, the company’s collection capacity was improved, the accounts receivable decreased, and the net cash flow from operating activities reached 180 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 175091%.

Computer room products continued to win the bid, and the contribution of energy storage business was significantly improved: in terms of computer room products, the company increased projects in micro modules, computer room integration and general contracting, effectively expanded the scale of revenue and improved the viscosity of customers. In 2021, the company successively won the bid for centralized procurement of China Mobile, China Unicom, telecom, Alibaba, Tencent, etc. The bid winning and subsequent delivery of these major projects will provide a solid foundation for the subsequent operating revenue of the computer room temperature control business. In terms of cabinet business, the company is the first manufacturer involved in the temperature control of electrochemical energy storage system in China. It has been in a leading position in China’s energy storage and temperature control industry for many years. It is also the main temperature control product supplier of many Chinese energy storage system providers. With the help of its brand advantages and customer base in the energy storage industry, the company has continued to actively expand customers at home and abroad and achieved remarkable results. In 2021, the company continued to enrich product links and optimize the end-to-end liquid cooling system to improve system performance and operation and maintenance efficiency. In 2021, the revenue from energy storage application was about 337 million yuan, about 3.5 times that of the previous year, and its contribution to the company’s business was significantly improved.
