The management expense ratio was 4.5%, with a year-on-year increase of + 1.3pct. The rising cost of raw materials and the increase of period expenses made the company's net profit margin - 2.7pct to 17.4% year-on-year.

Under the pressure of cost, the company actively adjusted the product structure and improved the operation efficiency, and the cost side improved significantly. In the future, with the stabilization of raw material prices, it is expected to continue to increase the profit margin of the company.

We will actively develop new business forms and be optimistic about the continuous growth of market share for a long time. By the end of 2021, the main works of the project plant invested and constructed by the company have been completed, and the future production capacity will be increased from 1.5 T / A to 65000 T / A. In the face of the impact of the epidemic, the company took the initiative to strive for guaranteed supply of materials and force group purchase business, so as to effectively alleviate the impact of the epidemic on stores. With the promotion of C-end market education and the recovery of b-end demand, the company is expected to benefit from the B / C dual channel drive and the release of superimposed production capacity, which is expected to enjoy the growth of long slope and thick snow of prefabricated dishes track.

Profit forecast: it is estimated that the net profit attributable to the parent company in 2022 / 23 / 24 will be 170 / 230 / 270 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of + 29.8% / 30.4% / 20.7% respectively, corresponding to pe35 / 27 / 22 times, maintaining the "overweight" rating.
