Main points of investment:
The growth rate of cloud computing business is relatively high, and the gross profit margin has improved slightly: the company's revenue for the whole year increased year-on-year, including 3.5 billion yuan for enterprise IT system solutions, an increase of 15% over the same period last year, and 419 million yuan for cloud computing products and services, an increase of 395% over the same period last year. On the one hand, the higher growth rate of cloud computing benefits from the acquisition of GD, which is strong in cloud computing and big data, on the other hand, the company's own brand and computing basic software and hardware have also achieved good growth. The overall gross profit margin of the company has increased by 0.04%. It is worth noting that the gross profit margin of IT solution business, which accounts for a large proportion of revenue, has dropped by 1.77%, and the gross profit margin of cloud computing business has increased by 3.63% to 35%. The gross profit margin of cloud computing business is significantly higher than that of the company as a whole. In the future, with the expansion of cloud computing business, the company's overall gross profit margin is expected to continue to improve, thereby enhancing profitability.
The investment income has a great impact on the profit, deducting the non-net profit to maintain a high growth rate: the company's return net profit is significantly higher than the revenue growth rate, mainly because the company disposed of part of its Rand network stake in the first three quarters. Rand Network became a joint venture recognized by equity law, and the company recognized the profit and loss of the remaining equity re-measured at fair value, and confirmed the profit and loss of GRC Tiancheng. The investment income in the first three quarters reached 220 million yuan, which had a great impact on the company's net profit. This can also explain that the largest share of non-recurrent income in the first three quarters is the profit and loss on disposal of non-current assets, but after deducting non-recurrent profit and loss, the company still maintains a relatively high growth rate of 298%, reflecting the overall improvement in business profitability.
