Affected by the epidemic, the sales volume of meat products decreased slightly, and the profit of 22q1 tons reached a new high. In terms of meat products, the revenue of 22q1 was 6.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 4.9%, of which the sales volume was about 385000 tons, a year-on-year increase of – 2.5%, mainly due to the impact of epidemic control in some regions on logistics, resulting in a decline in sales volume. The profit per ton exceeded 4500 yuan, with a year-on-year increase of about 25%, a record high, mainly due to: 1) the cost of meat products continued to decline month on month (21q4), 2) the adjustment of product structure during the Spring Festival and the increase of sales volume of high-profit products. According to the company’s communication, the pig price is expected to be low before and high after 2022, the cost of meat products is expected to remain low, and the annual ton profit is expected to be close to 21q4, about 4000 yuan. Looking forward to 2022, the meat products business is expected to achieve rapid growth under the promotion of low base, low cost and new products.
The revenue growth of slaughtering business is dragged down by low pig prices, and the profit is expected to improve quarter by quarter. In terms of slaughtering business, the revenue of 22q1 was 6.88 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of – 37.1%, including 6.02 billion yuan in foreign transactions and 860 million yuan in inter segment transactions, with a year-on-year increase of – 38.8% / – 21.7% respectively, mainly because the average price of 22q1 pigs was only 13.4 yuan / kg, with a year-on-year decrease of – 58%. The sales volume reached 355000 tons, a year-on-year increase of + 6.6%, and the sales volume of meat produced in China increased by about 30% year-on-year. Slaughtering profit was 134 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of – 52.8%, of which the profit of fresh products increased significantly, the profit of frozen products decreased significantly due to the high base number, and the loss of some frozen raw materials in 21q4 was reflected in 22q1 due to accounting recognition. 22q1 slaughtered 3.44 million heads, a year-on-year increase of + 84.6%. We expect that the annual slaughtering volume may be close to the level in 2018. The impairment of 22q1 is about 61 million yuan, which is significantly lower than that of 1.3 billion yuan at the end of 2021. The significant provision for impairment of 21q2 / Q3 brings a lower base. We expect that the profit of slaughtering business is expected to improve quarter by quarter and the profit elasticity is expected to be released.
