Event overview
On April 26, 2022, the company released the annual report of 2021 and the report of the first quarter of 2022. In 2021, the company realized an operating revenue of 1.03 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.59%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was 309 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.91%; The net profit deducted from non parent company was 295 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 14.44%. In the first quarter of 2022, the company achieved an operating revenue of 214 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.32%, a net profit attributable to the parent company of 45 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.40%, and a net profit deducted from non attributable to the parent company of 45 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.83%. In the short term, the company’s revenue growth slowed down and its profits were under pressure, mainly due to the insufficient supply of chips and the disturbance of repeated external factors. We believe that the medium and long-term growth trend of the industry remains unchanged and wait for the inflection point to come.
21q4 and 22q1 are under pressure in terms of revenue and profit, and the impact of external disturbance is large
From the revenue side, the company achieved an operating revenue of 288 million yuan in a single quarter of 21q4, a year-on-year decrease of 14.57%, which was significantly lower than the year-on-year growth rate of 30.16% in 21q3. 22q1 company achieved a revenue of 214 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.32%, which was improved compared with 21q4, but the growth rate was still low. We think it is mainly influenced by two external factors. According to the annual report, on the one hand, the tight supply of chips delayed the delivery of the project, which affected the revenue recognition of 21q4 in a single quarter. On the other hand, since 22q1, the epidemic has shown a multi-point distribution trend. The company’s downstream advantageous customers are mainly operators, financial, power and energy high-value customers. The control brought by the epidemic has partially affected the delivery progress of the company’s downstream customers, thus affecting the revenue growth of 22q1. Throughout the year, we believe that as the external disturbance factors gradually subside, the company’s performance growth is expected to improve quarter by quarter, and the annual growth is expected to exceed the growth rate of 22q1. From the profit side, the company’s comprehensive gross profit margin in 2021 was 71.45%, up 0.93pct year-on-year, and the comprehensive gross profit margin in 22q1 was 67.70%, down 3.90% year-on-year. We believe that the decline of 22q1 comprehensive gross profit margin has affected the growth of the company’s overall net profit. Behind it is still the price rise caused by tight chip supply, which has affected the gross profit margin level in the short term. In the long run, the company’s gross profit margin is still expected to remain in a high range. On the other hand, under the pressure of the industry as a whole, the company still maintained a high R & D investment. In 2021, the company’s R & D expenses increased by 25.86% year-on-year, exceeding the growth rate of revenue. We believe that higher R & D investment is conducive to maintaining the competitive advantage of the company’s products. In the future, with the recovery of higher growth on the revenue side of the company, the R & D expense rate is expected to decline and promote the release of the company’s profits.
