Peace viewpoint:
The pharmaceutical intermediate plate made a profit in the year when it was put into production, but affected the overall gross profit margin and expense rate performance: in 2019, the company's income was 925 million yuan (+ 29.87%), and the net profit was 97.26 million yuan (+ 16.86%). The reason why the income growth rate is higher than the profit growth rate is that the pharmaceutical intermediate business income increased by 97.18 million yuan in 2019, and the gross profit margin of this business is only 17.03%. The main reason is that there is still room for optimization of the new production line process. And depreciation and fixed expenses are more. If the pharmaceutical intermediate business is deducted, the company's revenue will grow by about 16.22%, which is equivalent to the profit growth rate. Due to the increase in revenue from pharmaceutical intermediates, the company's overall gross profit margin decreased by 6.47 pp from the previous year to 79.76%. However, the intermediate expense rate decreased by 5.29 pp, and the expense rate was 65.73% in 2019, of which the sales expense rate decreased significantly, from 61.52% in 2018 to 57.46% in 2019. It is worth noting that Zhenjiang Derui, the base of APIs and intermediates, made a profit when it was put into production. Due to limited production capacity, the company has planned a new API and intermediate base in Anqing, which is expected to be completed in 2 years, all of which are expected to increase 600 million yuan in income and 100 million yuan in profit after delivery.
The main varieties of diuretics and antibiotics have maintained rapid growth, and the follow-up generic drug pipeline is worthy of attention: the company's core variety Torasemide has an income of 360 million yuan (+ 22.83%).

The company's high-end generic drug pipeline is rich in reserves, including randilol, Livashaban, Tegrilol, Apexaban and so on, and basically all of them are self-produced APIs, among which Landilol has submitted an application for on-site inspection and is expected to land in 2020 and become a new growth point.

Risk tips: 1) Core products are included in the scope of volume procurement: the progress of volume procurement is accelerated, and if subsequent collection and acquisition involves multiple varieties of the company, it will have a negative impact on the company; 2) the R & D progress is not as expected: at present, a number of R & D projects are in the registration process, among which randilol and other projects are expected to be approved in the near future, but drug evaluation may be delayed due to uncertain factors such as policy. 3) merger and acquisition integration is not as expected: at present, NMS has launched the first round of financing to support projects under research, but there are still a large number of funding needs in the follow-up, if it can not be solved well, it will affect the integration and cooperation between the company and NMS.
