Comments
Q4 performance exceeded expectations and reached a record high in a single quarter. There are bright products both at home and abroad.
4q21 company achieved operating revenue and net profit attributable to parent company of 4.106 billion yuan (YoY + 32.0%, qoq-10.2%) and 1.154 billion yuan (YoY + 130.5%, QoQ + 33.1%), exceeding the forecast caliber of previous annual report (1.079 billion yuan – 1.129 billion yuan). We believe that the main reasons are:
1. China: the two new tours continued to develop, and the cost side decreased year-on-year. (1) Revenue side: Douluo mainland: duel between soul masters and call me big shopkeeper are all launched in 3q21, and Q4 games are expected to enter the power period. Among them, “Douluo mainland: duel between soul masters” broke through 700 million yuan in August of 21. According to the data of Qimai, the ranking of IOS game bestsellers in recent 30 days has been stable at 15-40; (2) Expense side: affected by the suspension of edition number, the new game 4q21 without large marketing expenses was launched and the R & D investment was relatively reduced, resulting in the year-on-year growth of Q4 net profit higher than that of revenue. 4q21 sales expense ratio and R & D expense ratio are 45.1% (yoy-3.9pct) and 6.3% (yoy-2pct) respectively. We expect that Douluo continent: duel between soul masters and call me shopkeeper will have a long life cycle and is still at the peak of water flow. It is expected that the performance will continue to be excellent in 22 years. (3) The company has rich reserves of games in China. At present, it has a total of 20 games, including 7 self-developed products and 13 agent products. Among them, self-developed products include code magic m, code C6, code ancient style, code 3D WTB, code Three Kingdoms by, code AOE and code cy. After the restart of the Chinese game edition, the company’s Chinese game distribution will be on track. In the future, under the dual efforts of China and overseas, it is expected that the performance flexibility will be high.
2. Overseas: the revenue from going to sea has increased significantly in the past 21 years, realizing an operating revenue of 4.777 billion yuan (YoY + 122.94%). It is mainly contributed by “Puzzles & survival”, “song of yunshangcheng” (South Korea) and “Douluo continent: duel between soul masters”.
