The substantial increase in the company's operating income is mainly due to the growth of the business scale of the current phase of the project and the new sewage treatment and waste incineration power generation projects. The company's market order development is also excellent, supporting the company's performance growth. Among them, four new EPC orders were added, with a total amount of 107 million yuan, an increase of 5585 percent over the same period last year.

In the future, with the steady increase in the scale of all kinds of operating projects, the gradual climbing of capacity utilization, the orderly implementation of all kinds of stock orders, the stable acquisition of new orders in the market, and the performance is expected to maintain high growth.

The acquisition of solid waste business is progressing smoothly, and the dual main business has contributed to the rapid growth of the company.

On February 5, 2021, the company signed the "Equity transfer Agreement between Anhui Central Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. and all shareholders of Shanghai Die New Energy Technology Co., Ltd." to acquire the transferor's 100% equity interest in Shanghai Butterfly New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. By the end of the first quarterly report, the company has completed the first equity acquisition of Shanghai Die New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and has completed the registration of industrial and commercial changes. The project company of Butterfly New Energy has a 30-year franchise for the environmental protection power generation project of domestic waste in Shijiazhuang, with a total design capacity of 1200 tons per day. Since May 2020, the two production lines have reached production capacity. 1100mm 1500t / d for waste incineration. According to the supplementary announcement disclosed by the company on December 29, 2020, during the franchise period of the Shijiazhuang municipal solid waste environmental protection power generation project, it is estimated that the operating income will be about 100 million yuan / year to 14000 yuan / year, and the net profit will be about 4000 yuan / year to 7000 yuan / year, which will bring positive profit contribution to the company. In 2020, the company's solid waste business income accounted for 5.03%, and the gross profit margin reached 50.75%. With the gradual growth of the company's solid waste business, the company's two main businesses are working at the same time, and the follow-up high growth is expected.

Improved operational efficiency, improved cash flow, excellent financial structure.

In the first quarter of 2021, the company achieved a comprehensive gross profit margin of 39.05%, an increase of 6.45 pct compared with 32.60% at the end of 2020. We judge that the month-on-month increase in gross profit margin may be due to an increase in the proportion of solid waste business. In 2020, the gross profit margin of solid waste business is 50.75%, which is higher than the company's comprehensive gross profit margin. In the future, the proportion of the company's solid waste business will gradually increase, and the company's gross profit margin still has room for improvement. In the first quarter of 2021, the company achieved net operating cash of-33 million yuan, a significant improvement from-87 million yuan in the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to the increase in receipts in the current period. The increase in collection benefited from the increase in the scale of the company's operating projects and the significant improvement in operating efficiency, of which the cash inflow from operating activities reached 247 million yuan, an increase of 122.01% over the same period last year. In addition, the company actively promotes capital operation, improves the company's financial position and enhances its anti-risk ability. The net cash flow of the company's fund-raising activities in the first quarter was 251 million yuan, an increase of 3584.65% over the same period last year, mainly due to the increase in borrowing during the quarterly reporting period. Even with the increase in corporate borrowing, the company's asset-liability ratio remained within a safe range, with a debt-to-capital ratio of 53.46% at the end of the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 6.78pct compared with the same period last year. The company's excellent financial situation will help the company to promote the orderly construction of the project, put into production as soon as possible to achieve operating income, wait for the company's operating project to form a scale effect, a large amount of cash return, which is conducive to the company's long-term sustainable development.
