  Performance review

The 2Q22 results are in line with the performance forecast

The company announced 1H22 results: revenue of 3,041 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 32.6%, achieving the company's annual budget target of 32.9%; net profit of 292 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 65.1%, and achieving the company's annual budget target of 17.8%. Among them, 2Q22 revenue was 1,343 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 46.0%; net profit of GuiMu was 113 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 79.7%, falling within the performance forecast range. We believe that the pressure on performance in the second quarter was mainly affected by the repeated impact of the epidemic. The development of offline travel business faced some resistance. At the same time, the online video shopping business was also affected by logistics restrictions, and operations were also affected.

Development trends

The streaming media strategy is progressing steadily, and the offline business is under pressure due to the impact of the pandemic. 1) Online business: As of June 2022, the company's BestV+ streaming video platform serves 6.97 million monthly BaishTV users, 60.15 million IPTV business users, 86.5 million OTT business users, 56 million active pay-TV users, 19 million interactive on-demand users, and 19 million interactive on-demand users. It has the advantage of accumulating users through all channels. Among them, in the streaming media business, we believe that competition in the industry is still relatively intense. 1H22's streaming media business revenue was 1,175 million yuan, down 27.7% from the previous year; in the radio and television business, the company seized the commercial opportunity of radio and television 5G, completed the 5G network interconnection work for radio and television in Shanghai, and achieved trial commercial use of 5G radio and television services at the end of June, becoming one of the first 20 provincial networks to be registered. 1H22 radio and television network business revenue was 1.27 billion yuan, down 10.3% year on year. The decline was less than the decline in total revenue. 2) Offline business: Affected repeatedly by the epidemic, the company's 1H22 offline business revenue fell sharply by 58.8% year-on-year to 592 million yuan. Among them, revenue from the cultural tourism business fell 65.4% year on year to 443 million yuan. Venues such as the Oriental Pearl Radio and Television Tower, Shanghai International Convention Center, and Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center were closed during the 2Q22 period, and revenue contributions were limited.

Gross margin declined due to some cost rigidity, and cost control was more effective. In terms of gross margin, 2Q22 gross profit margin was 26.6%, down 6.1 ppt year on year and 1.4 ppt month on month, mainly due to pressure on the revenue side, while some operating cost investments were relatively rigid. In terms of expenses, 2Q22, sales expenses fell 31.0% year on year to 137 million yuan, and management expenses fell 25.4% year on year to 188 million yuan, indicating that in the context of current business pressure, the company has strengthened cost and expense control, reduced costs and increased efficiency. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the company said that the company's various business operations are currently in the process of recovering in an orderly manner, but the potential repeated impact of the epidemic still brings strong uncertainty to the company's business, especially the offline travel business.

Profit forecasting and valuation

Considering the company's stricter cost control, we raised our net profit to parent by 4.3% in 2022 to 1,645 million yuan to maintain our profit forecast for 2023. The current price corresponds to 13.7/13.8 times P/E 2022/2023. Maintaining a neutral rating, since the offline travel business is still uncertain due to the impact of the pandemic, the target price was maintained at 7.51 yuan, corresponding to 15.3/15.5 times the 2022/2023 price-earnings ratio, which is 11.9% upward from the current stock price.

The impact of the epidemic has exceeded expectations, competition has intensified, and new business progress has fallen short of expectations.
