Q1’s gross profit margin was 67.22%, up 12.50 percentage points month on month and 2.71 percentage points year on year. The gross profit margin hit a record high.

The newly installed capacity accounts for nearly 50% in 2021, and 3.24gw sea breeze will contribute significant performance elasticity in 2022.

According to the contents of the company’s annual report, the newly installed capacity of the company in 2021 was 7.30gw, accounting for 46.79% of the installed capacity in 2020 (15.60gw), including 5.39gw of wind power, accounting for 11.33% of the total installed capacity of newly added wind power in China (including 3.24gw of sea wind, accounting for 19.15% of the total installed capacity of newly added sea wind in China), and 1.91gw of photovoltaic, accounting for 3.48% of the total installed capacity of newly added photovoltaic in China). In 2021, the completed power generation was 33.069 billion kwh, with a year-on-year increase of 42.5%, including 22.889 billion kwh of wind power, with a year-on-year increase of 44.70% (including 3.331 billion kwh of offshore wind power, with a year-on-year increase of 36.97%). Considering that the installed capacity of the company’s offshore wind power in 2020 is only 1.34gw, we can judge that the company’s newly installed 3.24gw offshore wind project is mainly put into operation in the second half of 2021, which will contribute significant performance flexibility in 2022, and the annual performance can be expected to increase.

Profit forecast and investment rating: in combination with the contents of the annual report, we adjusted the company’s EPS forecast for 20222024 from 0.19/0.23 yuan / share to 0.26 (+ 0.07) / 0.32 (+ 0.09) yuan / share, and predicted that the EPS in 2024 was 0.38 yuan, corresponding to 21, 17 and 14 times of PE respectively, maintaining the “buy” rating.

Risk tip: the macroeconomic downturn weakens the demand for power for terminal industries, and the construction and production progress of wind power and photovoltaic projects does not meet expectations
