Analysis and judgment:

Revenue performance maintained high growth, driven mainly by smart car & Smart Internet of things business

The growth rate of revenue exceeded 45%, the growth rate of net profit attributable to the parent company exceeded 40%, and the performance growth was in line with expectations. In terms of business, the growth mainly comes from the two wheel drive of intelligent vehicle business and aiot business. In the first quarter, the revenue of intelligent vehicle business was about 355 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of about 50.4%; Aiot achieved revenue of about 418 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 67.2%; The mobile phone sector achieved revenue of about 380 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 24.6%. In the long run, the ceiling of automobile and aiot business is still high, and the high growth rate of these two businesses can better show the strong growth momentum of the company in the future. On the whole, the actual business of the company in the first quarter was not affected by the epidemic. On the one hand, the company’s business was more inclined to software R & D and did not rely on shipments; On the other hand, thanks to the company’s global layout (overseas revenue accounted for 38.38% in 2021), the local epidemic has little impact on the company as a whole.
