The business expanded steadily, and the performance in the first quarter was under pressure.
In 2021, the company’s main business maintained stable growth. Jiangsu Hengyi benefited from the rapid development of new energy vehicles and the large volume of downstream customers. In 2021, it achieved a revenue of 770 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 74%. Jiangsu Hengyi’s production capacity is in the stage of rapid expansion. At present, the utilization rate of production capacity is low, resulting in a low profit margin of Hengyi in 2021. In 2021, the company’s gross profit margin was 17.2%, with a year-on-year increase of 0.5 percentage points, mainly due to the improvement of sales structure. In 2022q1, the company’s revenue scale maintained a steady growth, with a gross profit margin of 14.2%, a year-on-year decrease of 5.5 percentage points, mainly due to the substantial rise of raw materials and the lower than expected price transfer progress of the company to the downstream due to the epidemic.
