The quantitative analysis of the impact of the sales price of natural gas and gardening supplies, the proportion of natural gas revenue, changes in operating costs, government subsidies and other factors on the gross profit margin and net profit of corresponding businesses is as follows:
1、 Impact of changes in sales prices of natural gas and gardening supplies on gross profit margin and net profit
(I) impact of changes in natural gas sales price on gross profit margin and net profit
In 2021, the unit price of the company's natural gas excluding tax was 1.74 yuan / m ³， Compared with 1.42 yuan / m in 2020 ³ Increased by 22.50%. If calculated based on the average sales price in 2020, the gross profit margin of the company's natural gas exploitation and sales business is 13.11%. The rise of natural gas price leads to the increase of gross profit margin by 14.30 percentage points and the contribution of net profit increases by 1984029 million yuan. The specific calculation is as follows:
Change proportion / amount of the project in 2021 (actual) and 2021 (estimated)
Operating income (10000 yuan) 1515685512662349, up 19.70%
Gross profit (10000 yuan) 41548551660349, up 150.24%
The gross profit margin was 27.41% and 13.11%, up 14.30 percentage points
The net profit contributed (10000 yuan) was 33864871402458, an increase of 198402900 yuan
(II) influence of sales price change of gardening supplies on gross profit margin and net profit
In 2021, the gross profit margin of the company's gardening supplies business was 15.40%, down 6.34 percentage points from the same period last year; The gross profit was 462541 million yuan, down 16.87% from 2020. The main raw materials of the company's gardening supplies include steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, etc. affected by the rising price of relevant raw materials, the company's production cost and outsourcing cost have increased; At the same time, the fluctuation and appreciation of RMB exchange rate in 2021 reduced the amount of income converted into RMB under the same foreign currency income, and also had a certain impact on the decline of gross profit margin. The company actively negotiated with customers and adjusted the prices of some products, but the increase has not yet reached the rising range of costs. The comprehensive impact of the above factors has led to a certain decline in the gross profit margin and gross profit of the company's gardening supplies business.
2、 Impact of the change of natural gas revenue share ratio on gross profit margin and net profit
According to the agreement of the cooperation contract and its supplementary contract and the resolution of the joint management committee meeting, the R value of Yonghe 45 Yonghe 18 well block is greater than 1 from February 2021, that is, the cumulative share income of the block is greater than the cumulative input from February 2021, The revenue sharing ratio of Beijing Zhonghai wobang Energy Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhonghai wobang") in well block Yonghe 45 - Yonghe 18 has been calculated according to the proportion of 24% of PetroChina coalbed methane Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "CNPC") and 76% of Zhonghai wobang since March 2021.
If the revenue sharing ratio of Yonghe 45 Yonghe 18 well block is still calculated at 87% from March to December 2021, the gross profit margin of the company's natural gas exploitation and sales business is 31.32%. The reduction of the sharing ratio leads to a decrease of 3.91 percentage points in the gross profit margin and a decrease in the contribution net profit of 685581 million yuan. The specific calculation is as follows:
Change proportion / amount of the project in 2021 (actual) and 2021 (estimated)
Operating income (10000 yuan) 1515685515878506 decreased by - 4.54%
Gross profit (10000 yuan) 41548554972742, down 16.45%
The gross profit margin was 27.41% and 31.32%, down 3.91 percentage points
The net profit contributed (10000 yuan) was 33864874072068 yuan, a decrease of 685581 million yuan
3、 Impact of increased operating costs on gross profit margin and net profit
The operating cost of the company's natural gas exploration and sales business in 2021 was 110.2 million yuan, an increase of 43.24% over 2020, mainly due to the increase of depreciation and amortization by 19.41% and the increase of natural gas outsourcing cost by 109.25%.
(I) reasons for the rise of depreciation and amortization costs
First, the impact of the late start-up time of newly put into production natural gas wells. In 2021, the company's natural gas wells were mainly put into operation in the second half of the year, especially in the fourth quarter, accounting for 57%. The production time of newly put into operation wells is short, and the annual gas contribution is small. According to the amortization formula of the oil and gas asset production method, "depreciation accrued in the current period = net book value of oil and gas assets" × Current natural gas production ÷ (remaining reserves of oil and gas assets + current natural gas production) ", when the newly put into production gas wells have not contributed a large amount of gas, they are involved in the depletion according to the overall depletion rate (i.e. current natural gas production ÷ (remaining reserves of oil and gas assets + current natural gas production)), so as to increase the amortization amount of oil and gas assets.
Secondly, the phased impact of border expansion development. According to the law of oil and gas development, resource development generally builds production in enrichment areas and gradually expands to sub enrichment areas. At present, the section of Shan 23 developed in Shilou west block has gradually extended to the sub enrichment area. In the process of edge expansion, there will be fluctuations in the development effect of single wells, which will affect the amortization level of oil and gas assets. In addition to the reported reserves of He8, shan1 and Shan2 under development, the company also found that Benxi Formation, Taiyuan formation, he7-he1 member and Shiqianfeng have developed and encountered gas bearing horizons, and have been developed in adjacent blocks. The company will further strengthen research, optimize the overall development plan, and change from single development horizon to multi-layer three-dimensional development. With the gradual implementation of reserves of other strata, Under the reasonable three-dimensional development mode, strive for better resource development effect.
(II) reasons for the increase of natural gas outsourcing cost
With the expansion of the scale of purchased natural gas and the rise of natural gas price, the cost of purchased natural gas will increase accordingly.
(III) calculation
If the operating cost in 2021 is calculated based on the operating cost in 2020, the overall gross profit margin of the company's natural gas in 2021 is 44.33%, and the increase of unit cost leads to the decrease of gross profit margin by 16.92 percentage points and the contribution of net profit by 2103102 million yuan. The specific calculation is as follows:
Change proportion / amount of the project in 2021 (actual) and 2021 (estimated)
Operating cost (10000 yuan) 110020008437468, up 30.39%
Gross profit (10000 yuan) 41548556719387, down 38.17%
The gross profit margin was 27.41% and 44.33%, down 16.92 percentage points
The net profit contributed (10000 yuan) was 33864875489589 million yuan, a decrease of 2103102 million yuan
Based on the above factors affecting the gross profit margin of natural gas exploitation and sales business, the gross profit margin of natural gas exploitation and sales business of the company decreased by 11.74% in 2021, which is mainly due to the comprehensive influence of factors such as the increase of natural gas sales price, the increase of gross profit margin by 14.30%, the decrease of natural gas sharing proportion, the decrease of gross profit margin by 3.91%, and the increase of operating cost, the decrease of gross profit margin by 16.92%.
4、 Impact of tight gas subsidy decline
The company's tight gas subsidy is included in the "other income" item, which has no impact on the gross profit margin of the company's natural gas exploitation and sales business. The company received a tight gas subsidy of 29.071 million yuan in 2021, a decrease of 494561 million yuan compared with 785271 million yuan in 2020. The decrease of tight gas subsidy led to a decrease of 420377 million yuan in net profit.
Unit: 10000 yuan
Change amount of the project in 2021 and 2020
Received tight gas subsidy 290710785271 -494561
Contribution net profit 247104667481 -420377
5、 Impact of increased financial expenses
In 2021, the company incurred financial expenses of 1170902 million yuan, an increase of 551042 million yuan compared with 61.986 million yuan in 2020, mainly due to the increase of Kunlun trust loan interest, resulting in a decrease of 282697 million yuan in contributed net profit; The increase in interest on unpaid equity funds resulted in a decrease in net profit of 353509 million yuan.
6、 Verification opinions of the recommendation institution
The recommendation institution consulted the company's 2021 annual audit report and financial statements, operating income and operating cost structure; And relevant export documents; Obtained the "cooperation contract" and supplementary agreement signed between CNOOC Warburg and CNPC coal, and the resolution of the joint management committee meeting on adjusting the share proportion; Obtain and check the relevant documents issued by tight gas subsidies and bank receipts; Obtain and review the detailed statement of financial expenses; Analyze and review the factors affecting the change of gross profit margin of natural gas and gardening supplies business.
After verification, the sharp decline in the gross profit margin of natural gas exploitation and sales business is mainly due to the decline in the proportion of natural gas revenue, the increase in depletion and amortization and the increase in operating costs caused by the increase in the cost of purchased natural gas. The decline in the gross profit margin, the decrease in the amount of tight gas subsidies obtained in the current period, the increase in financial expenses and other factors lead to the decline in the overall net profit of the company.
(2) The specific regions of the company's overseas sales in the current period, the reasons for the significant growth in the current period, as well as the collection of overseas sales, and report the list of the top five customers of overseas sales.
reply:
1、 Overseas sales
In 2021, the company achieved an overseas sales revenue of 294 million yuan, all of which were gardening supplies business revenue, with a year-on-year increase of 24.31%, mainly due to the tight shipping capacity in 2020 and the postponement of some orders to 2021 due to the impact of covid-19 epidemic in 2020
