European business restructuring stop loss, will increase confidence in development. In 2020, the company issued an announcement to determine the European business restructuring plan, reached a layoff compensation agreement with the German local trade union, and planned to close the main factory of Huaxiang in Germany. The continuous loss of the German factory is a drag on the company's overseas performance. This time, the promotion of the "European restructuring Plan" and the shift of manufacturing focus to low-cost areas to improve the efficiency of operation and management is expected to fundamentally solve the drag of losses in the European region. At the same time, in February 2021, the company issued a fixed increase announcement, raising about 2.3 billion yuan from the actual controller, demonstrating the confidence of major shareholders in the development of the company. The company's thermoforming structure business is developing rapidly, and welding with cold stamping parts to become assembly re-matching customers, the added value of the products has been greatly increased, and the profitability has been significantly enhanced. The company's interior accessories business takes a two-pronged approach both at home and abroad: in terms of domestic business, the joint venture company Sheng Weidehe Huaxiang currently supplies rearview mirror products of Model 3 models made in Tesla Shanghai Super Factory. In terms of overseas business, Northern Engraving, a subsidiary of Lawrence Interior Decoration, cooperates with North American Tesla to support Model X, Model S aluminum trim and other products. In the future, the company is expected to get more new orders for interior decoration and strip products on domestic Model Y models.
Risk factors: global car sales are not as expected; overseas business restructuring is not as expected; the progress of additional issuance projects is not as expected; Tesla's supporting expansion is not as expected.
Investment suggestion: the company is a global high-quality automotive interior and interior decoration and metal parts supplier, supporting Tesla, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other high-quality customers; new business thermoforming metal parts production lines have reached production, began to contribute performance.
