On a month on month basis, when the company's revenue was affected by seasonal factors such as the Spring Festival and fell by nearly 23% on a month on month basis, the profit was basically flat on a month on month basis, and the overall profitability improved steadily.

The acquisition of brands in Central China was successfully consolidated at the end of March, and the performance growth is expected to further accelerate. The company successfully acquired the central China chain brand, and the target performance will be officially determined and consolidated from March 31. After the acquisition, the company will quickly expand its stores, increase brand awareness and influence, and seize market share. It is estimated that the average sales of brand stores in Central China are still quite different from the average level of Zhongyin Babi Food Co.Ltd(605338) East China stores. In the future, with the empowerment of the company's efficient management system and supply chain network, the income level and profitability are expected to be further improved to help accelerate the growth of the company's performance.

Risk tip: the repeated epidemic has led to the decline of store revenue and the obstruction of store expansion.

Investment advice: maintain the "buy" rating.

The impact of the Shanghai epidemic on the company's performance is limited. Although the offline store business has not been carried out smoothly, due to the surge in consumer community group purchase demand and the company's undertaking a large number of guarantee orders as a government guarantee enterprise, the factory has always maintained full load operation; By the end of April, Shanghai stores will resume normal operation in an orderly manner, superimposing the consolidation of the acquisition targets in Central China, and the performance is expected to achieve rapid growth. We keep the profit forecast unchanged, and expect EPS of 22-24 years to be 1.01/1.27/1.53 respectively (without considering the changes in the fair value of Eastroc Beverage (Group) Co.Ltd(605499) company's shares held by the company), corresponding to pe31 5 / 25.2/20.9x, maintain the "buy" rating.
