In addition to the influence of seasonal marketing launch factors, we believe that the company’s skin care business has changed from the previous pursuit of growth to the current strategy of growth and profitability, It is estimated that the business expense rate of skin care products in 2022q1 will drop to about 56% (more than 60% in 21 years); 2) The R & D expense ratio increased significantly by 1.5pct year-on-year, continuing the company’s idea of emphasizing R & D investment. On April 23, the company’s new raw material “hydrolyzed zinc hyaluronate” was successfully filed. The raw material has the effects of both HA and zinc, and hyaluronic acid can also increase the bioavailability of zinc. It has broad application prospects in the future. The successful filing of the raw material means the compliance of its production and operation in China, and also reflects the strong R & D strength of the company. From the perspective of profitability: in 2022q1, the net interest rate attributable to the parent company is 15.9% / a significant increase of 4.2pct month on month. If the new depreciation and amortization expenses and equity incentive expenses are added back, we expect the net interest rate of the company in 2022q1 to be basically the same year-on-year, and the profitability has stabilized and rebounded.
