The rebound in tin prices bottomed out in 2023 combined with an increase in production helped release performance. 1) Volume: In '23, the company completed 80,000 tons of tin ingots, of which 25,000 tons of tin ore were produced, +4.1% year on year; copper production was 129,300 tons, +2.8% year on year, and 24,000 tons of copper ore production, -0.9% year on year; zinc product output was 134,700 tons, -1.2% year on year, 102,000 tons of zinc ore, +8.8% year on year; indium production was 102 tons, +39.7% year over year. 2) Price: The average price of tin ingots in '23 was 21,300 yuan/ton, -14.9% year on year, but the price stabilized from extreme market conditions; the average price of zinc ingots was 21,500 yuan/ton, -14.3% YoY. 3) Profit: The company achieved gross profit of 3.88 billion yuan in '23, or -22.5% over the same period, achieving a gross profit margin of 9.2%. However, after the price of tin stabilized, the company's asset impairment decreased drastically year-on-year in 2023, and net profit to mother increased dramatically.

Q1 Due to Spring Festival factors, the mine side costs are at a relatively high level, and it is expected that the mine side will produce normally in the later stages.
The total production of non-ferrous metals is planned to be 348,600 tons in 2024. In 2024, the company will continue to focus on fine management and strengthen the mine foundation. It plans to target 85,000 tons of fine tin production, 130,000 tons of copper, 131,600 tons of zinc products, and 77.8 tons of indium in 2024.
Profit forecast and investment advice: According to the latest market price and the latest annual report, we raised our tin price expectations. We expect the company's net profit to be 21.00/23.7/2.41 billion yuan in 24-26 (the value was 18.2/2.10 billion yuan before 24-25), and the corresponding EPS was 1.28/1.44/1.47 yuan respectively, corresponding to the current 14/12/12XPE, respectively, and given an 18X valuation in 2024, corresponding to the target price of 22.97 yuan/share, maintaining the “buy” rating.
