The simultaneous rise of volume and price promoted the rapid growth of revenue.

The gross profit margin decreased year-on-year, the expense rate decreased, and the net operating cash flow decreased. 1) In 2022q1, the gross profit margin of the company decreased by 3.69pct to 25.65%, mainly due to the decline of attendance and operating rate of the company caused by covid-19 epidemic, and the relatively low efficiency in the early stage of new plant operation. 2) The company’s R & D expenses, PCT and management expenses increased by – 1.080%, pct-2020080%, and the company’s basic exchange rate decreased by – 1.080%, pct-2020080%, pct-2020083%. 3) In 2022q1, the net operating cash flow of the company was 377 million yuan, a decrease of 11.51%, mainly due to the increase in cash paid for purchasing goods and receiving labor services.

The company’s attendance rate returned to normal, and the acquisition of related party assets promoted capacity expansion. In 2022, Vietnam’s covid-19 epidemic prevention and control gradually matured, factories around the country resumed production in an orderly manner, and sports OEM orders in Europe and the United States continued to transfer to Vietnam. As the leader of sports shoes OEM, the company’s customer orders have increased rapidly, and the income growth is expected to pick up after the attendance rate of factory employees returns to normal. In April 2022, the company announced the acquisition of its land use rights, office buildings and other buildings and ancillary facilities in Vietnam’s Qinghua province from related parties at a transaction price of 111376 million yuan, which is convenient for the expansion of production capacity in northern Vietnam. In addition, the company also built a large-scale production base in Indonesia.

Profit forecast and investment suggestions: we maintain the company’s EPS forecast of 2.98/3.56/3.97 yuan from 2022 to 2024, and the current share price corresponds to 22.62 times PE in 22 years. We are optimistic about the long-term growth of sports shoes and clothing track. As the leader of sports shoes OEM, the company has obvious advantages, strong certainty of performance growth, large long-term development space and maintains the “buy” rating.

Risk factors: concentrated production areas, rising labor costs, and the spread of covid-19 pneumonia in Vietnam.
