Affected by the competitive environment and a number of deductions, the net profit in 2021 is negative. 1) In 2021, the company continued to promote the optimization of exhibition stores and storefronts and the expansion of all channels: 75 new Bravo stores, 14 closed stores and 47 newly signed stores were opened throughout the year. By the end of the year, there were 1057 supermarket formats.

In addition to the impact of impairment, the net profit attributable to the parent company for the whole year is -3.944 billion yuan, with a large loss.

The operation of 2022q1 has improved significantly, and the gross profit and profit performance have improved. In 2022q1, due to the improvement of the business environment and its own ability, the company’s financial indicators are improving: 1) 14 new supermarket stores, 2 signed Bravo stores and steadily expand stores; 2) Online business continued to grow, with online sales reaching 4.04 billion yuan / + 9.9%, accounting for 14.1%, of which the self operated home business covered 988 stores, realizing sales of 2.15 billion yuan / + 9.2%; 3) The gross profit margin was 21.28% / + 1.08pct, and the sales expense rate / management expense rate / financial expense rate were 14.72% / 1.65% / 1.47% respectively, which decreased year-on-year. Overall, in 2022q1, the company achieved revenue of 27.243 billion yuan / year-on-year + 3.45%, net profit attributable to the parent company of 1.84%, operating cash flow of 2.589 billion yuan / year-on-year + 80.02%, and its operating capacity was significantly improved.

Investment suggestion: the company is the leader of the offline supermarket of Johnson & Johnson fresh supply chain. Since the second half of 2020, new channels such as community group purchase have attacked, the operation of the company has been challenged, and the current competitive environment of the company has been significantly improved. It is estimated that the operating revenue from 2022 to 2024 will be about 98.3 billion / 104.2 billion / 110.5 billion respectively, the net profit attributable to the parent company will be 244 million / 571 million / 666 million respectively, and the EPS will be 0.03 yuan / share, 0.06 yuan / share and 0.07 yuan / share respectively, maintaining the “buy” rating and the target price will be 5 yuan / share.

Risk tip: the industry competition is obviously intensified; The improvement of the company’s operation is less than expected.
