During the comprehensive period, the expense rate was 6.5%, with an increase of 0.7pct, of which the sales / management / Finance / R & D expense rate was 0.2% / 2.5% / 1.1% / 2.6% respectively, with an increase of -0.02 / – 0.8 / – 0.2 / 0.3 percentage points. The increase in R & D expense rate was mainly due to the company’s increasing R & D efforts. In 2022q1, the net operating cash flow of the company was – 33.36 billion yuan, which was mainly due to the fact that the Accounting Standard No. 14 standardized the PPP project contract, resulting in the difference in the presentation of cash flow from operating activities in this period from the same period of last year.

Establish a joint venture Haifeng Company to consolidate the leading position of Haifeng: the company entered the field of offshore wind power installation and maintenance earlier, has rich offshore construction experience and excellent operation equipment, and has absolute advantages in this field. The joint establishment of offshore wind power company this time will give full play to the leading position of the Third Navigation Bureau in the business fields of offshore construction, operation, wind turbine equipment detection and later operation and maintenance services, build the brand and competitiveness of offshore wind power industry, and play a positive role in the company’s large-scale and refined market.

Optimistic about the revaluation of the company’s value by the public offering REITs of infrastructure: the REIT of Huaxia China Communications Construction Company Limited(601800) expressway was listed today, with an offer price of 9.399 yuan / share, realizing a premium rate of 75% of the book net assets.
