The annual revenue achieved a high growth of more than 40%, and the performance turned losses into profits, indicating that the inflection point of the company has arrived and officially entered the rising channel of high prosperity. There was an epidemic disturbance in the first quarter. It is speculated that the project acceptance and revenue confirmation of the company were delayed, which affected the growth rate to a certain extent, but it still achieved a year-on-year growth of 19.78%, and is optimistic about the annual growth rate.

Readjust the business system, and the future of smart cabin, smart core and smart drive can be expected

In 2021, the company formed a new business system of smart cloud, smart drive, smart cabin and smart core. In addition to the high growth of smart cloud business, smart core and smart cabin business also achieved good progress:

1. Smart cabin (revenue 678 million yuan, year-on-year + 32.84%, accounting for 22.17%): its main business includes integrated software and hardware solutions for passenger / commercial vehicle networking. The company has the capability of cabin Tier-1. In addition, it continues to take the lead in the field of front loading of commercial heavy truck networking.

2. Smart core (revenue of 352 million yuan, year-on-year + 15.72%, accounting for 11.5%): (1) SOC: smart cockpit chip ac8015 is mass produced and shipped, with a cumulative supply of 200K, and it is expected to exceed one million by the end of 2022. (2) MCU: the annual MCU shipment volume and revenue contribution increased by more than ten times compared with that in 20 years. The direct cooperation vehicle manufacturers include SAIC, FAW, Byd Company Limited(002594) , Chang’an and new forces. In view of the current background of core shortage, we believe that there is no bottleneck at the demand side of the chip side, and the short-term low growth rate is mainly affected by the production capacity; The growth rate of the company’s chip business in 22 years mainly depends on the improvement of the supply side. In the long run, the subsidiary jiefa technology has high scarcity in the independent control of vehicle chips. Under the background of chip localization and substitution, we believe that the chip business will also become a strong driving force of the company.

3. Intelligent driving (revenue of 5.84 million yuan, year-on-year + 10.68%): it mainly refers to the provision of full stack integrated solutions including intelligent driving software and hardware for the mass production needs of different levels of automatic driving front loading.

With the strong coupling of “compliance + map + algorithm + positioning” business, we are optimistic about the transformation of the company’s business model and the improvement of customer value for a long time

The company is a scarce target of high-precision map and data compliance business. In terms of business model, we judge that it is inevitable for vehicle end data to go to the cloud in the future, and the transformation of the company’s related business to SaaS charging mode will be natural. In addition, due to the strong synergy of the company’s map and data related businesses, we expect that with the help of data compliance business, we can further improve the value of single customers by locking the cooperation of core customers first and then extending the business vertically. With compliance as the fulcrum, the company is expected to leverage the map + algorithm + positioning business together in the future to truly realize explosive growth.
