The short-term disturbance outside China put short-term pressure on the performance of 22q1 company. In the 21st year, the revenue was 3.898 billion, a year-on-year increase of + 17.01%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was 268 million, a year-on-year increase of + 46.52%, and the performance was lower than our previous expectation. Among them, 21q4 achieved a revenue of 1.058 billion, a year-on-year increase of + 3.7%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was 44 million, a year-on-year increase of + 3.4%, and the growth rate of Q4 revenue and profit weakened, mainly due to: 1) the company’s overseas revenue accounted for 64%, and the Q4 overseas epidemic affected global automobile sales and restrained the demand for upstream parts; 2) Q4 management expenses increased significantly, with a management expense rate of 7.23%, higher than 1.07pcts in the whole year. The company achieved a revenue of 965 million yuan in 22q1, a year-on-year increase of + 3.60%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was 45 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of – 40.62%. It was mainly due to the impact of overseas Russian Ukrainian conflict and epidemic situation, which dragged down the company’s revenue, while the profit side was under pressure due to the year-on-year increase of management and R & D expenses. The company’s 22q1 management and R & D expense rates were 8.47% / 7.32%, year-on-year + 3.01pcs / + 0.34pcs.

The adjustment of accounting standards leads to 21q4 cost fluctuation, and the operation is stable after restoration. The gross profit margin of 21q4 company was 10.91%, with a year-on-year ratio of -22.33pcs/month on month ratio of -23.67pcs; The four fee rate was 4.13%, with a year-on-year ratio of -24.07 PCTs / month on month ratio of -23.78 PCTs, of which the sales / management / R & D / finance rate was -11.89% / 7.23% / 6.97% / 1.82%, and a year-on-year ratio of -22.07 PCTs / – 1.24 PCTs / – 0.38 PCTs / – 0.38 PCTs. It is mainly because the company adjusted the “sales expenses” to “operating costs” in response to the requirements of the latest accounting standards for the relevant transportation costs incurred before the transfer of commodity control to customers and in order to perform the sales contract, resulting in a significant increase in operating costs and a significant decrease in sales expenses. The gross profit margin of 22q1 company was 28.29%, with a year-on-year increase of -6.26pcs, mainly due to the impact of sea freight and accounting standard adjustment. The sales expense of 22q1 company was 4.25%, with a year-on-year increase of -5.84pcs.
