Key investment points

The operation was better month on month, and the high price of raw materials fell back

(1) the operation is better quarter by quarter: 21q4 company has made provision for accounts receivable and inventories with signs of impairment of some ODM businesses. If the impact is not taken into account, we estimate that the company has achieved operating profit with non deduction of 21q4 (while 21q3 still has a loss of 27 million after non deduction, which is better month on month). 22q1 gross profit margin is 29.24% (+ 0.31pct). Under the background of the rise in the average price of raw materials, the efficiency improvement brought by the plant climbing is the optimization item.

(2) the follow-up price of raw materials is expected to continue to fall: in Q1, the price of raw materials rose significantly under the price rise expectation of the Russian Ukrainian war, but then fell rapidly. As of April 29, 2022, the average price of polyether / TDI / MDI is 11100 yuan / 17350 yuan / 21800 yuan / ton, which is - 2% / + 11% / 6% respectively compared with the beginning of the year, but it is 16% / 11% / 12% lower than the peak during the period. Considering the supply and demand pattern, it is expected that there is still further downward space in the future, driving the company's gross profit margin upward.

US regional orders are expected to pick up from May to June, and US factories will give full play to their regional advantages

In the past 21 years, the company achieved revenue of 4.889 billion (+ 29.41%) in North America and 1.709 billion (+ 16.56%) in Europe; 22q1 North America achieved revenue of 1.343 billion (+ 22.56%), while Europe achieved revenue of 429 million (+ 1.11%). On the supply side, the second anti-dumping brought about a gap of about $600700 million on the supply side of the United States. In 2021, many orders were not obtained because the production capacity climbed less than expected. However, after the release of the production capacity of American factories in 22 years, relying on the advantage of the company's quotation side over its local competitors in the United States, it is optimistic that the orders will flow back to Healthcare Co.Ltd(603313) , driving the high growth of income in the United States. On the demand side, Q1 North America's revenue is still faster than the company as a whole. After the outbreak of the Russian Ukrainian war in March, the short-term U.S. home purchase demand decreased, but it is expected that consumer confidence will be boosted from May to June, further driving the order scheduling of factories in the East / West of the United States.
