SASAC: strengthen the injection of high-quality assets into listed companies, and the central military enterprises are expected to meet the peak of “extension” injection

On May 18, Weng Jieming, deputy director of SASAC, said at the special promotion meeting of “deepening the reform of state-controlled listed companies and striving to be a three-year action model for the reform of state-owned enterprises”, we should continue to strengthen the injection of high-quality assets into listed companies, and inject the existing unlisted high-quality assets into listed companies in a planned way in combination with the actual situation;

2022 welcomes the closing year of the “three-year action for state-owned enterprise reform”: the SASAC meeting said that the goal is to “improve the efficiency of state-owned capital and enhance the vitality of state-owned enterprises”. Through relevant reform measures, straighten out the business structure, highlight the advantages of main industries, optimize the industrial layout and promote the realization of value, the “extension” injection of military industry group is expected to accelerate;

During the 14th Five Year Plan period, there is a large amount of national defense equipment, and all military research institutes hope to speed up the asset injection: the asset injection of military research institutes is conducive to improving the conversion rate of scientific research achievements and preventing the separation of production and research. The injected high-quality assets can improve the core competitiveness of listed companies and improve the quality of assets; Improve profits, provide financial support for scientific research activities and form positive feedback. The marketization and capitalization of institutions is a long-term trend.

A number of listed companies under the military industry group have carried out major asset restructuring, and the follow-up business is expected to accelerate

Following the peak of asset integration in 2017, there is a new upsurge in the opening year of the 14th five year plan in 2021. Since 2015, a total of 32 listed companies under the military industry group have carried out major asset restructuring. The restructured companies account for 35% of the number of A-share listed companies under all central military enterprises, and the cumulative injected assets with an estimated value of more than 130 billion; Since the peak of integration and injection of military industry group in 2017, with the continuous promotion of the “three-year reform action of state-owned enterprises” in 2021, enterprise asset injection has set off a new peak, which is expected to remain high in 2022 and the 14th Five Year Plan period.

The restructuring brought a significant increase in net profit. From the comparison of income before and after the injection of major asset restructuring, the total income of 33 companies in the early stage of restructuring totaled 213.3 billion, and the total income of the current period after asset injection totaled 272.1 billion, with a year-on-year increase of 28%; From the comparison of the net profit attributable to the parent before and after the major asset restructuring, the total net profit attributable to the parent before the restructuring was 4.6 billion, and the total net profit of the current period after the restructuring was 8.4 billion, with a year-on-year growth rate of 83%, and the net profit attributable to the parent increased significantly.

CETC and AVIC are at the forefront, and there is a large space for follow-up capital operation of the Aerospace Department group

CETC and AVIC group are at the forefront: AVIC group has the highest asset securitization rate, which has reached 72% by 2021, and many of its listed companies have become the leaders of the subdivision track; CETC has started the mode of “sub group formation – incentive of listed companies – injection of high-quality assets”. The following sub groups have integrated the assets of the Institute as a platform, and have carried out major asset restructuring of 6 subordinate enterprises. While injecting high-quality assets into listed companies, CETC has realized the effective restructuring of the assets of the core Institute, and the asset securitization rate is expected to continue to increase in the later stage;

The asset securitization rate of the Aerospace Department group is low, and the asset reorganization in the later stage is expected to accelerate: the Aerospace Department Group has less early capital operation, and the overall asset securitization rate is low at this stage, which is about 15% by 2021; There are many high-quality institutes and core assets of the Aerospace Department, the overall capital operation of the group is expected to accelerate, and the asset securitization rate has great room to improve.

Military industry welcomes the dual wheel drive of “endogenous + extension”, and the two wings of “domestic demand + foreign trade” and “military products + civilian products” fly together

(1) under the “century changing situation”, the national defense industry has a high growth rate, and “preparing for war / 2027 / building a strong national defense commensurate with the second largest economy” is the established direction. Large contract liabilities in 2021 highlight the high boom of the 14th five year plan; (2) National defense and military industry asset securitization + reorganization and listing of core military products are expected to open a new round, focusing on the reorganization process of many groups; (3) China’s tanks / UAVs / trainers / fighters are globally competitive, and the demand for foreign trade is gradually rising. Domestic large aircraft / civil aviation engine and other industrial chains are also gradually growing.
