differentiation becomes more obvious

Compared with the first and second tier liquor enterprises, the situation faced by regional liquor enterprises such as Xinjiang Yilite Industry Co.Ltd(600197) , Anhui Golden Seed Winery Co.Ltd(600199) , ST Huangtai is more complex.

As soon as the new year passed this year, the China Resources Department began to “go out”. In mid-199, one of the shareholders of “China Resources Investment Group” disclosed that it plans to acquire 49% of the shares of “China Resources Investment Group”. After the equity transfer is completed, the proportion of equity held by Fuyang investment and Development Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Fuyang investment and development”) will be reduced from 100% to 51%, and the actual controller of Anhui Golden Seed Winery Co.Ltd(600199) is still Fuyang SASAC.

On April 30, Anhui Golden Seed Winery Co.Ltd(600199) which introduced China Resources war investment released the financial report for 2021. According to the financial report, its revenue in 2021 was 1.211 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.70%; The net profit loss was 166 million yuan, from profit to loss, with a sharp year-on-year decrease of 339.76%, and this decline has also become the largest in the industry.

Regarding the substantial loss of net profit, Anhui Golden Seed Winery Co.Ltd(600199) explained that the competition in the Baijiu industry continues to intensify, and the industry profits are further concentrated in the top enterprises, and in the middle and high-end and high-end Baijiu brands. As a regional Baijiu brand, the company has been under great market pressure. The middle and low-end products of liquor produced and sold by the company account for a large proportion, and the prices of raw materials and labor costs continue to rise. In addition, in 2021, although the company’s liquor revenue increased by 24.75% compared with that in 2020, due to the pressure of strong competitive products, the company’s medium and high-end products are still in the promotion and cultivation period, the market foundation is still weak, it has not been able to occupy the market on a large scale, and the gross profit margin of old products is low, resulting in a slow increase in the comprehensive gross profit margin.

In fact, except for Anhui Golden Seed Winery Co.Ltd(600199) , as a typical regional liquor enterprise, Xinjiang Yilite Industry Co.Ltd(600197) , Jinhui Liquor Co.Ltd(603919) , tianyoude liquor, ST Huangtai’s revenue in 2021 did not exceed 2 billion yuan, especially ST Huangtai’s data was less than 100 million yuan, and its net profit also changed from profit to loss, plummeting 140.48% to – 14 million yuan compared with 2020.

Due to the performance of negative net profit and operating income less than 100 million yuan, Gansu Huangtai Wine-Marketing Industry Co.Ltd(000995) was warned of delisting risk from April 29, the stock abbreviation was changed from ” Gansu Huangtai Wine-Marketing Industry Co.Ltd(000995) ” to ” ST Huangtai”, and the daily rise and fall of stock price was limited to 5%. This is the fifth time that it has been ST since 2004, 2009, 2015 and 2018, which is less than one and a half years since it officially resumed listing on December 16, 2020.

Caixuefei, an analyst in the Baijiu industry, told reporters that under the trend of strong differentiation, the famous liquor that has completed the upgrading of product structure is likely to continue to grow stronger, while the regional liquor enterprises that have not completed the upgrading of product structure are in a difficult situation this is because after the upgrading of China’s alcohol consumption structure, social alcohol consumption is stronger, which puts forward higher requirements for the brand and quality of alcohol. Famous wine has great advantages in brand cultural value and quality cognition for regional liquor enterprises, only by actively strengthening brand culture mining and quality concept innovation and embracing new models can they have the opportunity to break through, such as new retail, live broadcast, winery model, etc

Cai Xuefei further said that the epidemic has led to the closure of many alcohol consumption scenes, the disappearance of a large number of friends’ consumption, the shrinking of wedding banquet, business gift and other markets, and the reduction of the frequency and scope of a large number of social activities, which will inevitably lead to the decline of alcohol consumption .
