Financial Performance

• Revenue and Profit: In 2021, the company achieved RMB 31.57 billion in revenue, up 4.84% year-on-year. Net profit fell to RMB 2.16 billion, a decline of 45.09%. For Q1 2022, revenue increased by 3.46% to RMB 4.91 billion, but net profit dropped 71.20% to RMB 0.08 billion.
• Revenue Breakdown: Gross revenue in 2021 was RMB 31.57 billion, with Q2 2022 at RMB 4.91 billion year-on-year.

Strategic Adjustments

• Following risks with major clients, the company diversified its channel strategy. It shifted from focusing on direct engineering clients to a mix of direct and agency engineering channels, reducing reliance on large contracts. Dealer expansion was aggressive, adding 9,895 new partners in 2021 and a further 3,562 in Q1 2022. Retail channel revenue grew significantly, up 180.54% in 2021.

Profit Pressures

• Gross profit margin declined to 29.10% in 2021, down 3.10 points year-on-year. Factors included increased competition leading to lower client bids, higher costs from rising prices of raw materials like hardware and paint, and a shift to lower-margin channels (e.g., agency engineering and dealer sales). In Q1 2022, gross margin further dropped to 24.91%, and operating expenses rose, exacerbating financial strain.

Future Outlook

• The company is in an adjustment phase due to weak engineering demand and slow development of the new retail channel. Recovery is anticipated if the real estate market improves, potentially boosting retail growth and stabilizing profitability. Current challenges include maintaining margins amid market volatility.
