In 2022q1, the revenue was 422 million yuan (+ 21.97%), and the net profit attributable to the parent company was 67 million yuan (+ 34.92%). At the same time, the company announced that the overall operating target for 2022 was revenue of 2.55 billion yuan (+ 33.99%), and the net profit attributable to the parent company was 370 million yuan (+ 25.71%).

The company's revenue and profit increased rapidly, and the net interest rate reached a new high in recent three years

In 2021, the demand of various industries involved by the company was good, and the operating revenue (1.903 billion yuan, + 35.02%) increased rapidly. Against the background of rising prices of raw materials, the company achieved a steady increase in gross profit margin (54.64%, + 0.36pcts) based on the cost advantages of strategic goods preparation, R & D cost reduction and large-scale procurement. At the same time, affected by the addition and deduction of R & D expenses, the company's income tax (RMB 1949800, - 90.62%) decreased significantly, which promoted the rapid growth of the company's net profit attributable to the parent company (RMB 294 million, + 49.45%), The company's net profit margin (15.22%, + 1.16pcts) also hit a new high in recent three years.

In 2022q1, the company's revenue (422 million yuan, + 21.97%) and net profit attributable to the parent company (67 million yuan, + 34.92%) maintained rapid growth, and the gross profit margin (60.38%, + 1.53pcts) and net profit margin (15.34%, + 1.52pcts) reached a record high in the same period, reflecting the continuous rise of the company's profitability.

In terms of products, in 2021, the company's business includes high-precision positioning equipment, system applications and solutions. Among them, the company's revenue from high-precision positioning equipment (RMB 1.094 billion, + 14.61%) increased steadily, and the revenue from system application and solutions (RMB 809 million, + 77.80%) increased significantly, highlighting that the downstream of Beidou high-precision navigation industry is in a high boom development period.

From the perspective of industry classification, the company's business involves four fields: Construction and infrastructure, geospatial information, resources and public utilities, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) and driverless. The details are as follows:

① the revenue of construction and infrastructure construction (860 million yuan, + 25.80%) is the largest. It will achieve rapid growth in 2021, and the gross profit margin (60.95%, + 3.90 PCTs) will rise steadily;

② the revenue of geospatial information field (345 million yuan, + 35.22%) increased rapidly, and the gross profit margin (54.49%, + 4.75 PCTs) increased steadily;

③ the revenue of resources and public utilities (609 million yuan, + 51.92%) increased the most, but the gross profit margin (46.05%, - 7.26 PCTs) decreased;

④ the revenue of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) and driverless field (89 million yuan, + 27.61%) increased rapidly, and the gross profit margin (52.99%, + 3.56 PCTs) increased.

On the whole, we believe that in 2021 and 2022q1, the company's revenue and net profit showed a rapid growth trend. Although the gross profit margin of the company decreased in individual business areas, the rapid development of Beidou high-precision application market and the rapid expansion of the company's business had a limited impact on the rapid growth of the company's overall revenue and profit.

The company continues to increase R & D investment, which is expected to bring new incremental space for the company's future performance

In terms of expenses, in 2021, the company's three fee rate (28.72%, -0.52pcts) decreased steadily. Specifically, only the sales expense rate (22.10%, + 0.32pcts) increased slightly, mainly due to the cost increase brought by the growth of the company's main business and the increased investment in channel development and sales system construction. At the same time, the company continued to increase R & D investment, and the R & D expense rate (17.49%, + 2.65 PCTs) hit a new high since listing. The company is still in a period of rapid development from the perspective of significant growth in R & D personnel (482 people, + 46.50%). From the perspective of the company's main R & D projects, we believe that the company's R & D investment is concentrated in the middle and upper reaches of the Beidou high-precision navigation application industrial chain (including upstream basic devices, midstream terminal equipment and service system), which will continue to strengthen the company's competitiveness in the downstream emerging fields of satellite high-precision navigation, and bring more incremental income space and profit space to the company.

In terms of cash flow, in 2021, the net cash flow generated by the company's operating activities (RMB 271 million, + 17.43%) hit a new record after listing, and the net cash flow generated by financing activities (RMB 843 million, an increase of RMB 940 million compared with 2020) increased significantly, mainly due to the arrival of funds raised by the company from issuing shares to specific targets.

In terms of other financial data, at the end of 2021, the company's inventory (377 million yuan, + 62.52%) increased rapidly, of which the delivered goods reached 112 million yuan (+ 173.56%), which is expected to be quickly cashed in to the income statement in 2022. At the same time, the raw materials in inventory (126 million yuan, + 339.32%) also increased significantly. Combined with the doubling of the company's contract liabilities (149 million yuan, + 113.75%), we judge that, The company has some orders in hand or sufficient demand from intended customers. At present, it is actively preparing goods. At the same time, storing raw materials in advance will continue to help the company maintain its gross profit margin at a certain level under the price rise of upstream raw materials.

The fixed growth of the company was completed, and the capital market was used to realize the extension growth

In June 2021, the company completed the fixed increase and raised a net fund of 785 million yuan, of which 312 million yuan was used for the production capacity construction project of Beidou high-precision basic devices and terminal equipment, 238 million yuan was used for the construction project of intelligent space-time information technology R & D center, and 235 million yuan was used to supplement working capital. It is worth noting that according to the disclosure of the company's fixed increase manual, the company's Beidou high-precision basic device and terminal equipment capacity construction project will carry out capacity construction for the company's high-precision GNSS receiver and commercial navigation application products (including board and combined navigation receiver) on the basis of the company's existing products and technology. The construction period of the project is planned to be 2 years, The company expects to increase its operating revenue by 709 million yuan (accounting for 17.50% of the company's revenue in 2021) and its total profit by 140 million yuan (accounting for 21.98% of the company's total profit in 2021).

According to the 2021 China Spacesat Co.Ltd(600118) navigation and location service industry development white paper, the output value of China's high-precision market reached 11 billion yuan in 2020, up 47.59% year-on-year compared with 2019, much higher than the overall market growth rate of Beidou application (16.90%). Referring to the change law of output value of upstream, middle and downstream parts of China Spacesat Co.Ltd(600118) navigation and location service industry chain in recent years, we judge that, In the 14th five year plan, the downstream operation service field of China's high-precision market will show rapid development.

Under the background that the company has developed and mass produced high-precision GNSS baseband chip "Xuanji", a variety of high-precision GNSS boards, modules, antennas and other basic devices, the promotion of the company's fixed raising and investment project will lay the foundation for the company's capacity guarantee in the upstream (equipment and foundation period) of Beidou high-precision application market during the 14th Five Year Plan period, and then constitute the basic guarantee for the company's rapid performance growth during the 14th Five Year Plan period.
