Cataract surgery achieved a revenue of 2.192 billion yuan (+ 11.72%), with a gross profit margin of 37.67% (-0.38pct), mainly due to the further upgrading of the demand for compound cataract to the demand for refractive cataract.

The advantages of hierarchical chain are remarkable, and the breadth, depth and density of medical network continue to improve. During the reporting period, the company successively acquired 25 outpatient departments or clinics such as Wuhan Aier Huangpi, Hanzhong Aier, Dandong Aier, Linyi Aier, etc. As of December 31, 2021, the company has 174 hospitals and 118 outpatient departments in China. With the continuous improvement of the medical network, the advantages and scale of hierarchical chain are expected to further appear. The top ten hospitals achieved revenue of 3.255 billion yuan (+ 11.21%), accounting for 21.7% (- 2.87 PCT), and the proportion of revenue of the top ten hospitals further decreased. We believe that the above shows the significant advantages of the company's hierarchical chain, and the holding hospitals at all levels have become an important driver of the company's performance.
Affected by the epidemic, the growth of Q1 performance slowed down in 2022, and the profitability continued to increase. From January to February in 2022, the company's operation was good. In March, the serious epidemic in some areas led to the suspension or flow restriction of local hospitals, which affected the growth rate in the first quarter. Q1 company achieved gross profit margin of 47% (-0.31pct) and net profit margin of 16.62% (+ 1.13pct), and its profitability continued to improve.
Profit forecast: the company is the leader of ophthalmic medical services in China, with significant advantages of hierarchical chain. It has formed a layout of "horizontal film and vertical network" in many provinces and regions across the country. We expect that the net profit attributable to the parent company in 22-23 years will be 3.13 billion yuan, 4.102 billion yuan and 5.277 billion yuan respectively, corresponding to 58 / 44 / 35 times of PE respectively, maintaining the "buy" rating.
