Comments:
In 2022q1, the company’s performance exceeded expectations, and its net profit increased by more than 50% year-on-year
Under the background of stable macroeconomic growth and repeated regional epidemics, the performance of the company in 2022q1 has increased significantly, with revenue + 30.49% year-on-year and net profit attributable to the parent company + 54.54% year-on-year. The growth rate of net profit is higher than that of revenue. The main reasons are: ① the adjustment of product prices in 2021 promoted the gross profit margin in 2022q1 to + 1.38pct to 29.47% year-on-year; ② The management expense ratio in 2022q1 was -2.80pct year-on-year, driving the period expense ratio to -1.59pct year-on-year, which was mainly due to the amortization of equity incentive cost of 30.48 million yuan in the same period of last year, resulting in the high management expense in 2021q1.
The company has sufficient orders and strong performance growth momentum. In 2022q1, the company’s contract liabilities reached 1.87 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of + 26.85%, an increase of 11.15% over the beginning of the period.
