Key investment points
Continued high growth in revenue: the company achieved revenue of 611 million yuan in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 37.38%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was 80 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 39.65%, and the net profit not attributable to the parent company was 33 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 28.26%. Non recurring gains and losses have a great impact, mainly because the company uses temporarily idle funds for cash management. In terms of business, in 2021, the company’s revenue of PKI infrastructure products was 133 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 186.95% and a gross profit margin of 61.42% (year-on-year -17.6pct); The revenue of PKI security application products was 197 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.28% and a gross profit margin of 76.12% (year-on-year -3.33pct); The revenue of general safety products was 281 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 33.05% and a gross profit margin of 30.03% (year-on-year + 1.9pct). In 2021, the company continued to increase various inputs and expand multiple products and industries based on PKI. The high revenue growth in 2022q1 continued. The low gross profit margin in 2022q1 was mainly due to the fact that some businesses related to Xinchuang and general safety products were included in the operating revenue in the first quarter due to the acceptance time point, implementation cycle and other reasons. General safety products accounted for a relatively high proportion of the projects that confirmed the revenue.
