The 2022 results fell short of our expectations

The company announced its 2022 results: achieved revenue of 6.302 billion yuan, a decrease of 0.6%; Guimu's net profit was 168 million yuan, a decrease of 7.3%, lower than our expectations. We believe that the second impact of the 4Q22 epidemic mainly affected offline passenger flow; after deducting non-net profit of 84 million yuan, a decrease of 11.5%. At the same time, the company plans to distribute a cash dividend of 0.7 yuan (tax included) for every 10 shares, with a dividend ratio of about 33%.

On a quarterly basis, the company's 1Q/2Q/3Q/4Q22 revenue was +0.2%/+5.1%/+16.5%/-20.8%, and the net profit attributable to the mother was 0.91/0.14/0.94/-031 billion, respectively; net profit after deducting non-net profit was 0.60/-0.08/0.41/-09 billion, respectively.
