(1) by product: the revenue of dairy beverage 2022q1 increased by 1.54% year-on-year. The logistics distribution and channels in the company’s main markets were greatly affected by the epidemic, and the revenue growth slowed down; (2) By channel: in 2022q1, the distribution channel revenue was 331 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 2.64%; The revenue from direct sales channels was 9.105 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.76%; (3) In terms of subregions: in 2022q1, the revenue of the three key regions of East China, central China and southwest China was 178 million yuan, 70 million yuan and 55 million yuan respectively.

The decline in net profit margin was mainly due to the decline in gross profit margin and the increase in sales rate
In 2022q1, the net profit margin of the company decreased by 4.2pct to 12%, mainly due to the rising and falling cost of raw materials and energy, and the gross profit margin decreased by 6.5pct to 31.3%. In 2022q1, the company continued to explore peripheral markets and launch expenses during the Spring Festival, and the sales expense rate increased by 1.3pct to 14.8%. Looking forward to 2022, there will be upward pressure on raw materials and packaging materials at the cost side, but the company is the leader of neutral milk beverage, which can alleviate the cost pressure through various ways, such as price increase and product structure adjustment; The rate is expected to remain high during the promotion of nationalization. On the one hand, the company has further expanded its production base and other channels. On the other hand, the company has further expanded its production potential.
