The results of the three-quarter report are generally in line with our previous expectations. Review the company's performance is growing rapidly, and profitability continues to improve. In the 2018 Q3 quarter, revenue and net profit increased 18.11% and 41.36% year-on-year respectively, up 4.6 and 1.9 percentage points from the year-on-year growth rate of the Q2 quarter in 2018. The gross margin and net profit margin for the first three quarters were 40.7% and 25.9% respectively, up 3.84 and 4.58 percentage points from the same period last year. Prices of fungicides such as promycin and pyrimidine have continued to rise. The price of promycin has risen from 36,750 yuan/ton in the same period last year to now, 53,000 yuan/ton; the price of pyrimidine has risen to a four-year high of 380,000 yuan/ton. The company has a production capacity of 14,000 tons of chlorpyrimidine (second in the country) and 2,500 tons of pyrimidine raw materials (first in the country), fully benefiting from the increase in revenue and profitability brought about by rising drug prices. Additional production capacity for pyrimidine and flame retardants was gradually released. The primary drug project with an annual production of 1,000 tons of pyrimidine was completed in the first half of the year, and it is expected that the volume will gradually increase. The 1500 tons of melamine polyphosphate and 10,000 tons of compound masterbatch projects will also be completed and put into operation within the year, and the flame retardant product line will continue to expand. In addition, the prices of the company's flame retardants and flame retardant intermediates rose 18.29% in the first three quarters. Prices on the cost side were stable, and gross margin was also expected to increase. Exchange earnings have increased, the period fee ratio has been further reduced, and cash flow continues to be stable.
