The gross profit margin was 50.49%, with a year-on-year decrease of 7.07 PCT, mainly due to the high procurement cost of API and the increase of the cost of heparin preparation.

Key products won the bid for centralized purchase, and the sales of preparations in China is expected to be further opened. Relying on the speed advantage of China US double report, the company seized the market opportunity of injection consistency evaluation. In June 2021, the company’s products benzathine atracurium injection and bendamostine hydrochloride for injection successfully won the bid in the fifth batch of national centralized procurement, among which benzathine atracurium injection is the first imitation product to be listed in China; In the first quarter of 2022, the company’s key products daparin sodium injection and natroparin calcium injection entered the bid winning list of centralized drug procurement in Guangdong Province, of which daparin sodium injection also entered the bid winning list of centralized drug procurement in eight provinces and two regions of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In the future, with the continuous approval of the company’s Chinese products, the market share is expected to further improve.

Accelerate the international layout of injections, and cdmo enters the macromolecular field. The company’s business has successfully transformed to high-end preparations and become a leading preparation export enterprise in China. At present, in addition to heparin preparations, the company has nearly 30 sterile injections approved by FDA. In 2022q1, the sales volume of the company’s foreign preparations increased by more than 30% year-on-year. With the approval of enoxaparin injection in Europe and South America, the company further expanded its influence in the global heparin preparation market.

Profit forecast and investment rating: we are optimistic about the long-term development of the company. Considering the cost and the impact of the epidemic, we adjusted the forecast of the company’s net profit attributable to the parent company from 2022 to 2023 to 1.386 billion and 1.814 billion yuan (the original forecast was 1.578 billion and 2.040 billion yuan), and the net profit in 2024 is expected to be 2.421 billion yuan. The current share price corresponds to only 23 times of PE in 2022, maintaining the “recommended” rating.

Risk tips: 1) price fluctuation risk of raw materials: raw materials such as crude heparin are the main cost components of the company’s products. If the price of raw materials fluctuates sharply, it will have an adverse impact on the company; 2) R & D risk: the company has many varieties under research, and there is a risk that the approval of Anda is less than expected; 3) The export of preparations is less than expected: the American preparation market is highly competitive, and the sales of some varieties may be less than expected.
