Necessity of project implementation

(1) The fund-raising investment project is conducive to seize the development opportunity of new energy vehicles and meet the growing order demand of downstream customers

Under the background of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutralization”, the substitution of new energy vehicles for fuel vehicles has become an irreversible development trend, and the Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) automobile industry has ushered in a historic development opportunity. According to the data of China Automobile Industry Association, the sales volume of Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) vehicles increased from 777000 in 2017 to 1367000 in 2020, with an average annual compound growth rate of 20.7%. According to the prediction of China Automobile Industry Association, the sales volume of Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) vehicles in 2021 will be 3.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.5 times, and that in 2022 will be 5 million, a year-on-year increase of 47%. The development prospect of new energy vehicles is broad.

With the increasing demand for cost reduction and efficiency increase of new energy vehicle manufacturers, the decline of subsidy policies for new energy vehicles, the continuous innovation of power battery technology and the optimization and upgrading of lithium iron phosphate materials, the advantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries such as low cost, high safety and long cycle life are becoming more and more obvious, which promotes the accelerated growth of market demand and the continuous improvement of market share. According to the data of China automotive power battery industry innovation alliance, in November 2021, China Shipbuilding Industry Group Power Co.Ltd(600482) battery output totaled 28.2gwh, with a year-on-year increase of 121.8% and a month on month increase of 12.4%. Among them, the output of ternary battery was 10.4gwh, accounting for 36.8% of the total output, with a year-on-year increase of 42.6% and a month on month increase of 12.9%; The output of lithium iron phosphate battery was 17.8gwh, accounting for 63.0% of the total output, with a year-on-year increase of 229.2% and a month on month increase of 12.0%. From January to November 2021, China Shipbuilding Industry Group Power Co.Ltd(600482) battery output totaled 188.1gwh, a year-on-year increase of 175.5%. Among them, the total output of ternary battery was 82.4gwh, accounting for 43.8% of the total output, with a year-on-year increase of 106.1%; The cumulative output of lithium iron phosphate battery was 105.3gwh, accounting for 56.0% of the total output, with a year-on-year increase of 275.7%.

The lithium iron phosphate industry continues to pick up and grow rapidly, which also brings new potential performance growth points to the company’s cathode material business. The company’s current capacity of lithium iron phosphate cathode material can no longer meet the growing order demand of downstream customers, so it is urgent to expand the capacity scale to meet the demand of downstream customers.

(2) Expanding production capacity is an inevitable choice to enhance the company’s market competitiveness

From the perspective of market competition pattern, the industry pattern of lithium iron phosphate cathode material is relatively scattered, and there are still shuffling opportunities. From the industry level, according to the data of GGII, China shipped 124000 tons of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 41%. The competition pattern presents a relatively scattered situation, has not yet formed an absolute leading manufacturer, and there are still opportunities for reshuffle in the industry. Among them, in 2020, the shipments of Hunan Yuneng and Shenzhen Dynanonic Co.Ltd(300769) were 31000 tons and 30000 tons respectively, with market shares of 25% and 24% respectively, ranking first and second in the industry; The shipment volume of Hubei Wanrun is 21000 tons, accounting for 17% of the market share; Beiteri shipped 17000 tons, accounting for 14% (beiteri has sold the assets of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials to Jiangsu Lopal Tech.Co.Ltd(603906) in 2021).

Data source: GGII

The company’s existing capacity and planned capacity of lithium iron phosphate are shown in the table below:

Capacity status / planning of the project base

Shandong Zaozhuang headquarters phase I 5000 tons has been put into operation

The existing capacity of Shandong Zaozhuang headquarters phase II is 5000 tons, and the conditions for mass production are ready on September 30, 2021

The planned capacity of Anhui Anqing phase I is 25000 tons, and it is planned to invest 25000 tons in Anhui Anqing phase II with the raised funds

The estimated total capacity is 60000 tons

Facing the relatively scattered competition pattern of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials and the expansion of production by companies in the same industry, the company’s existing capacity of 10000 tons of lithium iron phosphate has no scale competitive advantage.

If the company does not expand its production capacity in time, it may be in a disadvantageous position in the future market competition. The investment project of the raised funds will be used for the construction of lithium iron phosphate cathode material with an annual output of 50000 tons in Anqing, Anhui Province, which can effectively supplement the existing production capacity, improve the scale advantage of the company and further enhance the industry position of the company. If the raised investment project and the previous project reach the production capacity smoothly, the company will have a production capacity of 60000 tons of lithium iron phosphate cathode material, which can effectively cope with the increasingly fierce market competition and open up market space. The implementation of the raised investment project is the inevitable choice for the operation and development of the company.

(3) The implementation of this raised investment project is conducive to strengthening the company’s in-depth cooperation with Byd Company Limited(002594) , Guangzhou Great Power Energy&Technology Co.Ltd(300438) and other important customers, and improving the company’s profitability and innovation ability
