Although the cost of raw materials such as barley and cans was under pressure, the gross profit margin remained stable thanks to diversified procurement measures such as the improvement of the company's structure, price increase and price lock-in. On the expense side, the sales / management / R & D / financial expense rates of Q1 company were 13.71% / 3.40% / 0.58% / - 0.19% respectively, and the year-on-year rate was + 0.61 / - 0.79 / - 0.07 / - 0.29pct respectively under the comparable caliber.

Carlsberg continued to set sail for 27 years
Looking forward to the whole year, the epidemic situation in China has gradually improved and its impact on the industry and the company has continued to weaken. We continue to be optimistic about the rise of the company's annual revenue and price; Although the cost side is under pressure, the company has locked in core raw materials such as barley, hops and packaging materials in advance. The superposition of price increase of large single products + upgrading of product structure is expected to effectively alleviate the pressure on the cost side, and the profit growth is still good.
The rapid development of heavy beer in the past two years is inseparable from the explosive growth of Wusu outside Xinjiang. Wusu has rapidly improved its brand popularity nationwide with excellent quality, unique tonality and rapid regional expansion. Wusu's expansion outside Xinjiang is not over yet. With the further optimization of organization (BU adjustment) + production capacity (technical transformation in Xinjiang and new addition outside Xinjiang) + market (extending from big cities to the whole market) + brand (online red brand, matrix Marketing) + price increase + product matrix (Loulan secret brew and small bottle), Wusu is expected to become another large beer product with a capacity of more than one million tons in China and continuously improve its scale. In Carlsberg's high-end brand matrix, there are still international high-end brands such as 1664, Xia Rifan and Greenberg, as well as strong brands with regional characteristics such as Chongqing, Xixia and Fenghuaxueyue, which have reserved a rich brand portfolio for continuous growth. We are optimistic that the company will continue to "sail 27" in the next five years, promote the high-end products, promote the continuous innovation of sales model and the continuous improvement of supply chain efficiency, and improve the profit quality and industry market share of heavy beer.
