The ability of cost control is good, and the gross profit margin of Q1 stabilized and rebounded in 22 years: affected by factors such as repeated outbreaks outside China and sharp rise in raw material prices, the gross profit margin of the company decreased by 5.41pct to 17.12% year-on-year in 2021. Thanks to the good cost control ability, the company’s sales expense ratio decreased by 0.23pct to 2.31% year-on-year in 2021; The rate of administrative expenses decreased by 1.69pct to 8.05% year-on-year; The financial expense ratio decreased by 0.63pct to 2.16% year-on-year.
