Strong demand in overseas digital communication market and rapid growth in Q1 performance in 22 years: from the perspective of market demand, in 2021, the company’s main shipping products maintained the continuous growth of shipments in overseas markets, benefiting from the opportunity of key customers of cloud manufacturers in North America to increase capital expenditure and batch deploy 400g and 200g From the perspective of China Telecom Corporation Limited(601728) market, the demand did not increase significantly compared with last year, and the company’s 5g product revenue decreased compared with 2020; Therefore, in terms of demand, the data communication market continues to be strong, driving the demand for optical module to continue to rise. However, due to the fact that it takes some time for customers to import new products such as 400g and gradually release their own capacity, the performance in 2021 shows a trend of low before high, and continues to increase steadily quarter by quarter. Q1 in 2021 continues a good growth trend, with a significant increase of 41.91% compared with Q1 in 2021, and the net profit attributable to the parent company increased by 63.38% year-on-year.
