We believe that the new products of BiP digital base driven by localization + cloud are the key to lead the development of UFIDA in the next stage: 1) the core driving factor of the growth path of FuPan company is still the product & business model. From ERP to BiP, from traditional software to SAAS and then to digital base, product + business model elements lead the company’s growth logic. 2) in history, such as 2005-2010 years of market penetration, EPR led by product logic, 2013-2015 years of market cloud led by UAP (private cloud +CSP public cloud) logic led, superimposed Internet plus mode to open up imagination, and the market has been driven by SaaS + domestic dual wheel drive since 2018, and the core has changed to YonBip and series new products. 3) At present, it is at the midpoint of the third round of high-level market, the penetration of BiP products is still in progress, and the feasibility of localization large orders continues to be verified.

From the public data, the order amount of cloud + software of 2021q1-q3 company was 4.83 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.9%, higher than the growth rate of cloud + software revenue in the same period. Among them, the order amount of more than 5 million yuan increased by 59.1% year-on-year, further improving the year-on-year growth rate of 37.0% disclosed in H1, highlighting the strong localization demand of large downstream enterprises.

Personnel adjustment affects clearing, sales and R & D work together, and business is accelerated

In terms of other financial indicators (based on 2021q1-q3 data), 1) the gross profit margin increased steadily to 57.5%, with a year-on-year increase of 3PCT, judging that the Q4 trend continues. There are two main reasons for judging: one is to peel off the financial business with low gross profit; the other is to increase the proportion of cloud business and improve the comprehensive gross profit margin. It is worth noting that changjietong’s gross profit margin may have a downward trend, mainly due to the increased partner commission rebate policy in the process of public cloud business to promote sales, so as to obtain the market faster. In the medium and long term, the profit margin is also upward. 2) The cost rate is steadily improving. At present, it is still in the overweight period. In 2021q1-q3, the sales expense rate was 25.3%, with a year-on-year increase of 6.1pct, and the management expense rate was 15.0%, with a year-on-year decrease of 0.1pct; The R & D expense rate was 23.3%, with a year-on-year increase of 2.4pct. Among them, the increase of sales expenses is caused by the introduction of high-end sales talents, which complements the sales team for L1 customers; In terms of R & D, if calculated according to the caliber of R & D investment, the R & D investment in the first three quarters was as high as 1.56 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 42.2, further strengthening product barriers. 3) Clear out the impact of personnel adjustment and implement the equity incentive plan. As of 2021q3, the total number of employees of the company has reached 20604, an increase of 2522 over the beginning of the year, an increase of 13.9%, including 6452 R & D personnel, an increase of 1163 over the beginning of the year, accounting for 31.3% of the total number of employees. It is judged that the top-down and drastic manpower adjustment and restructuring of the company has been basically completed since 2021. At the same time, the company has also promoted the implementation of the new equity incentive plan, which plays an important role in the retention and incentive of the core team, and the pain of the adjustment period has been cleared.

On the whole, it is judged that the company has come out of the lowest point, and there has been an inflection point breakthrough in the transformation of cloud business. It has passed the most difficult stage of the decline of traditional business + the small contribution of cloud business base. At the time of the implementation of fixed growth, the company firmly grasps the market initiative of large enterprises and is expected to seize more market share and competitive advantage by virtue of yonbip’s advantageous products.
