The company's performance in the first half of the year was under pressure, mainly because the large and medium-sized passenger business was affected by the lower-than-expected government bus procurement; however, the car division's customer quality and product profitability improved significantly, with abundant orders on hand, and energy storage thermal management products have also been designated by customers such as Ningde era and Vision Energy, and we expect the business Q4 to start to contribute revenue this year. Considering that the company's large and medium-sized customers' business will be affected by government procurement in the future, the 2021/22/23EPS forecast will be reduced to 0.33Unix 0.42, 0.53 (the original forecast is 0.40, 0.48, 0.58). According to the forecast of the average annual compound growth rate in the next three years and the development potential of the energy storage business, it will be given 30 times PE in 2021, with a target price of 9.9 yuan, maintaining the "buy" rating.

The heat management business of large and medium-sized customers is under pressure, and the energy storage business has made a major breakthrough. In the first half of the year, due to the influence of the epidemic, government-side public transport procurement decreased, and the company's large and medium-sized passenger business declined significantly. The company's revenue from large and medium-sized passenger heat management business in the first half of 2021 was 397 million yuan,-23.7% compared with the same period last year. It is expected that in the future, with the epidemic control superimposed on the Winter Olympic Games and other events, the company's large and medium-sized customer business is expected to gradually improve. In addition, the business of the company's liquid cooling management system for energy storage power stations is growing rapidly. In the first half of 2021, the company won orders for thermal management products of various types of energy storage batteries from customers such as Ningde Times and Vision Energy, and will begin to supply and contribute revenue in the second half of this year. We expect revenue contribution to reach more than 30 million. With the rapid growth of energy storage power stations, as the company's liquid cooling and thermal management technology in large and medium-sized customers can be applied to energy storage power stations, we are optimistic about the development of the company in the field of thermal management of energy storage power plants.
The profit of car thermal management business continues to improve, and there are plenty of orders on hand.
