Profitability is under pressure. The company’s gross profit margin decreased by 20.9pp year-on-year to 2023.9pp, with a year-on-year decrease of 20.9pp. The main reasons for the decline of the company’s gross profit margin are: 1) the continuous appreciation of RMB against the US dollar during the reporting period; 2) The prices of bulk raw materials, chips and batteries have risen sharply; 3) The new standard adjusts freight to operating costs. In terms of expenses, the company’s sales expense rate / management expense rate / R & D expense rate / financial expense rate were 5.6% / 2.5% / 5.5% / 1% respectively, with a year-on-year change of 0.3pp / – 0.8pp/0.5pp / – 1.3pp respectively. After the freight is adjusted to the operating cost, the sales expense rate still increases, mainly because the company continues to increase the investment in the marketing expenses of its own brand. At the end of 21, the company signed delireba as the spokesman of the company’s clean appliances. Overall, the company’s net interest rate was 6.3%, with a year-on-year increase of 1.1pp.

Q1 revenue grew steadily and profits showed signs of repair. Under the multiple challenges such as the tense international situation, the spread of the epidemic, the obstruction of the supply chain and the appreciation of the RMB, the company’s Q1 revenue still achieved steady growth, mainly due to the continuous development of its own brand business and core parts business. 2022q1 company’s own brand offline sales revenue increased by more than 20% year-on-year; The online sales revenue of biyunquan and Jimmy brands increased by nearly 50% year-on-year. After the consolidation of Shanghai Pajie, the revenue of aluminum alloy precision parts business increased by nearly 800% year-on-year. In terms of profitability, Q1 company’s profit performance has recovered. The gross profit margin of 2022q1 company was 22.9%, with a year-on-year increase of 1.4pp and a month on month increase of 2.6pp; The net interest rate was 9%, with a year-on-year decrease of 0.5pp and a significant increase month on month.
