中金公司 ·  Nov 21, 2021 00:00  · Researches

On November 21, 2021, China International Capital Corporation covered Weitai Medical for the first time-B (02235) rated the outperforming industry. The reasons are as follows:

The ► diabetes management device market is expected to maintain rapid growth. The global market for insulin pumps and continuous blood glucose monitors (Continuous Glucose Monitor,CGM) is expected to reach $20.7 billion and $36.5 billion in 2030, with a compound growth rate of 14.0% and 20.3% in 2020-2030, according to cauterization data. The market size of Chinese islet pumps and CGM is US $130 million and US $140 million in 2020, and it is expected to reach US $1 billion and US $2.6 billion in 2030, with a compound growth rate of 23.3% and 34.0% from 2020 to 2030.

► Weitai Medical is the only company in the world that has both a commercial insulin pump (Equil) and a real-time calibration-free CGM (AiDEX G7). Equil is the second commercial semi-drop insulin pump in the world, and it is also the only domestic insulin pump approved in Europe (June 2017) and China (September 2017). The company expects Equil to be approved by FDA in 1H22. The AiDEX G7 is the second commercial real-time calibration-free CGM in the world. It has been approved in Europe (September 2020) and China (November 2021), and commercialization is imminent. The company expects the AiDEX G7 to be approved by FDA in 1H23. We believe that the company's two core products are expected to seize the market by virtue of first-mover advantages and product performance.

► Weitai medical market share is expected to continue to increase. We believe that Weitai's development is driven by: 1) Equil using non-catheter design, which is expected to gradually replace the traditional catheterized insulin pump; 2) AiDEX G7 with real-time non-calibration function, with obvious technical and cost advantages; 3) production capacity construction is smooth and is expected to meet future needs; 4) based on cloud big data diabetes platform, you can work with Equil and AiDEX to create closed-loop artificial pancreas.

What is the biggest difference between us and the market?1) We believe that with the increasing comprehensive strength of Chinese manufacturers, China's diabetes management device market is expected to continue to expand; 2) Weitai Medical is expected to gradually increase its market share by enriching its product portfolio, expanding domestic and foreign markets and increasing production capacity construction.

Potential catalyst:1) AiDEX G7 sales exceeded expectations. 2) the listing progress of the products in the United States has exceeded expectations.

Profit forecast analysisWe expect Weitai Medical's revenue to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 94.18% from 2021 to 2025, and the company's revenue from 2021 to 2025 will be 145 million / 324 million / 690 million / 1.357 billion / 2.064 billion respectively.

We expect the company's comprehensive gross margin to increase from 50.9% to 65.3% in 2021-25.The company's gross profit margins in 2019, 2020 and 4M21 were 46.4%, 48.5% and 53.9%, respectively. The company's core operating costs mainly include raw materials and employee costs. The proportion of raw materials and staff costs in 2019, 2020 and 4M21 were 77.7%, 20.0%, 78.1%, 19.1% and 76.1%, respectively. Due to economies of scale, we expect the company's gross margin to gradually increase from 50.9% to 65.3% in the next five years.

Due to the scale effect, we predict that the company's sales and marketing expense rate, administrative expense rate and R & D expense rate will decline.In 2019, sales and marketing expenses, administrative expenses and R & D expenses accounted for 52.1%, 64.8% and 96.5% of the total revenue, respectively. In 2020, the above three fees accounted for 73.1%, 60.8% and 108.9% of the total income, respectively.

Sales and marketing expensesDue to economies of scale, we predict that the company's sales and marketing expense rate will gradually decline from 43.0% to 23.0% in 2021-25.

Administrative expensesDue to the effect of economies of scale and the improvement of management level, we predict that the rate of administrative expenses of the company will gradually drop from 30.0% to 6.0% in 2021-25.

Research and development expensesWe predict that the company's R & D expenditure rate will gradually drop from 57.0% to 14.0% in 2021-25.
