\u3000\u30003 Guangxi Hechi Chemical Co.Ltd(000953) 00095)

Event: the company released the annual report of 2021 on April 23. In 2021, the operating revenue was 1.435 billion yuan (+ 9.18%), the net profit attributable to the parent company was 147 million yuan (- 10.39%), the net profit not attributable to the parent company was 135 million yuan (- 9.85%), the gross profit margin was 38.01% (- 1.97 PCTs), and the net profit margin was 11.03% (- 2.27 PCTs),

The revenue increased steadily, and the rise in the price of upstream raw materials dragged down the company's profitability: during the reporting period, the company achieved an operating revenue of 1.435 billion yuan (+ 9.18%). In 2021, the company's revenue maintained a stable growth thanks to the rapid growth of downstream demand for hoisting machinery braking system and military industry business and the further improvement of the proportion of domestic substitutes. Net profit attributable to parent company was 147 million yuan (- 10.39%), net profit not attributable to parent company was 135 million yuan (- 9.85%), gross profit margin was 38.01% (-1.97 PCTs) and net profit margin was 11.03% (-2.27 PCTs), both of which declined in varying degrees. During the reporting period, the price fluctuation of raw materials dominated by steel obviously led to the further increase of the procurement cost of raw materials (538 million yuan, + 14.18%) in the equipment manufacturing industry. In addition, with the further improvement of the company's existing business layout and the continuous increase of market expansion, the above factors had a certain impact on cost control and further pressure on profitability.

By business:

① industrial brake field

Based on the port crane market, the company gradually extends the market field to many subdivided fields such as wind power, rail transit and so on. During the reporting period, the company's hoisting, transportation and braking business benefited from the continuous increase in downstream demand, the increase in added value brought by the improvement of product intelligence level and the further increase in the proportion of domestic substitution of key customers in the industry. The revenue (416 million yuan, + 16.47%) maintained a steady growth, but the gross profit margin (43.20%, - 2.06 PCTs) fell due to the fluctuation of upstream raw material prices led by steel; The overall development momentum of wind power business is good in 2021, and China's comprehensive market share has reached 50%. However, due to the fluctuation of upstream raw material prices and the corresponding adjustment of the company's product prices caused by the reduction of the overall installed price of wind power in the reporting period, the company's wind power braking system revenue (506 million yuan, - 0.34%) decreased slightly and the decline of gross profit margin (34.70%, - 5.51pcts) increased during the reporting period.

② military industry

Seize the opportunity of large-scale development of downstream demand and dig deep into supporting demand. The company's military industry mainly relies on its subsidiary ande technology, takes tooling and parts processing and manufacturing as the core, and cuts into the maintenance field through Changsha Tianying.

On the one hand, the company had sufficient orders, actively prepared goods and full production tasks to meet the rapid growth of downstream demand; On the other hand, the company strengthened the production plan management and further strengthened the procurement and preparation in order to better deal with the price fluctuation of raw materials.

During the reporting period, the company's asset impairment loss was 31 million yuan (+ 33.16%), which was significantly higher than that of the previous year, mainly due to the provision for goodwill impairment of 15 million yuan / 11 million yuan respectively made by its subsidiaries Changsha Tianying and Huawu rail transit. The subsidiary Changsha Tianying is mainly engaged in military aircraft maintenance business. During the reporting period, due to multiple factors such as the impact of the epidemic, major adjustments made by downstream customers and the slow progress of order tasks, Changsha Tianying has not completed the performance evaluation indicators. So far, a total of 34 million yuan of goodwill impairment loss has been withdrawn.
