The performance in 2020 exceeded our expectations

The company announced its 2020 results: the annual income was 7.345 billion yuan, an increase of 0.8% over the same period last year, and its net profit was 389 million yuan, an increase of 28.9% over the same period last year. Of these, 1H/2H20 's revenue increased by-8.3% compared with the same period last year, while net profit increased by 7.4% and 56.6% respectively. In addition, the company announced a final dividend of RMB 0.092 per share and a special dividend of RMB 0.056 per share.

Trend of development

1. Revenue improved month-on-month in the second half of the year, and the annual performance increased steadily, but the performance of the two cans declined.

The company's 2H20 revenue rose 10.0% year-on-year and 17.5% month-on-month, mitigating the impact of the epidemic in the first half of the year, with a slight increase of 0.8% in revenue for the whole year. In terms of products: 1) the revenue of aluminum packaging decreased by 6.1% to 3.107 billion yuan in the whole year, mainly because the downstream was seriously affected by the epidemic in the first quarter and performed stably after the second quarter; 2) the revenue from tinplate packaging increased by 8.0% to 3.66 billion yuan, some of the products were daily rigid demand, and the demand was stable, such as milk powder cans increased by 15.1% year on year, strong demand for some products catalyzed by the epidemic, and aerosol cans increased by 25.5% compared with the same period last year. 3) the revenue from plastic packaging decreased slightly, by 1.8% to 578 million yuan, but recovered from the first half of the year.

2. Profitability continues to improve. In 2020, the company's gross profit margin reached 15.8%, an increase of 0.8ppt over the same period last year. In terms of business, the gross profit margin of aluminum / tinplate / plastic packaging was + 0.6ppt/+0.5ppt/+3.8ppt to 17.1% and 14.5%, respectively. 17.2%. We think that the main reason is that the price of raw materials is low, and the company has taken effective measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The sales / management expense rate increased to 4.4% 0.1ppt/0.3ppt 4.6% compared with the same period last year, while the financial expense rate also decreased to 1.3%, mainly due to the decline in the comprehensive cost of capital. Thanks to the increase in gross profit margin and the decline in financial expenses, the company's net profit margin reached 5.3%, an increase in 1.2ppt compared with the same period last year, and improved profitability.

3. Focus on tracking the business orders of the two cans and the price trend of raw materials. Driven by the increase in the canning rate of beer and the promotion of new cans by carbonated drinks, with the 2020 epidemic accelerating industry integration, the company is expected to continue to grow with the advantages of large-scale production and supply chain in the future. In 2020, the company will grasp the trend of high-end, differentiation and quality on the product side, and the client will deepen cooperation with Budweiser, Snow Flower, Coca-Cola Company, Jiadobao and other existing customers, and actively explore new customer opportunities, which is expected to accelerate to seize the market share of the two cans, but the recent rise in raw material prices may affect the company's profitability. It is suggested that we should focus on tracking the order situation and price trend of the company's two-piece can business.

Profit forecast and valuation

Considering the demand volume of the two-piece cans, the earnings per share forecast for 2021 will be raised by 7.0% to 0.32 yuan, and the 2022 earnings forecast per share will be introduced to 0.36 yuan. The current share price corresponds to a price-to-earnings ratio of 11.0 times 2022 / 10.0 times 2022.

Maintain the neutral rating and raise the target price by 18.6% to HK $3.95 based on the company's earnings forecast adjustment and the change in market style, corresponding to 10.5 times 2021 price-to-earnings ratio and 9.5 times 2022 price-to-earnings ratio, which is 4.4% lower than the current share price.

Risk

The price of raw materials fluctuates greatly, and the orders of core customers fluctuate.
