In 2021, the sales revenue of the company’s related products in the medical industry / disease control industry increased significantly, respectively 404651458458 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.26% / 40.38%; The acceleration of the development of the medical industry is mainly due to the increase in the income of medical water recycling products cooperated with Varian, while the increase in the income of the disease control industry is mainly due to the epidemic situation. The increase of national investment in the industry increases the expected demand for products. On the other hand, the company’s sales revenue in related fields of food and drug research institutes / universities and colleges decreased, mainly due to the slowdown of procurement expenditure due to the impact of the epidemic on the procurement plans of universities and government departments. In addition, the company’s products achieved a breakthrough in nuclide analysis in the nuclear industry, with a revenue of 5.5135 million yuan in 2021. Due to the epidemic situation in 2022q1, the sales of some products of the company and the delivery of laboratory orders were blocked periodically. In addition, the company continued to increase the investment in R & D expenses (R & D expenses in 2022q1 increased by 15% to 8.8 million yuan year-on-year, accounting for 11.36% of operating revenue).

The company achieved a breakthrough in ICP-MS sales in 2021, and its products passed the verification in the semiconductor field. The company successfully completed the research project of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), and successfully realized product sales in many fields (especially in the chip production line of semiconductor head enterprises, which successfully passed the verification and was recognized by customers). In 2021, the company realized an operating revenue of 3.0392 million yuan. The technical advantages and scarcity of new product introduction made its profitability ideal, with a gross profit margin of 70.97%. In the future, the company’s ICP-MS products will continue to make efforts in the fields of medical treatment and semiconductor, and strive to realize the continuous increase of sales scale.

The current share price corresponds to 25 / 20 / 17 times of PE in 22-24 years. On the one hand, the company maintains a leading position in the sample pre-processing instruments in the traditional subdivided advantageous fields through the coverage of the whole product line and automation reform. On the other hand, the company opens a new performance growth point through the independently developed ICP-MS mass spectrometer. Under the background of domestic substitution of experimental analysis instruments, the company is expected to maintain the continuous growth of performance and maintain the “overweight” rating.
