From a historical point of view, the proportion of revenue in the first quarter is relatively low, and 21Q1 has occasional factors. Dongfang Tong's revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was 79 million yuan, down 47.3% from the same period last year. The company's main customers are concentrated in government and enterprises, operators, finance, etc., and general projects focus on the recognition of revenue in the second half of the year, superimposing the Spring Festival and other factors, so the revenue in the first quarter is usually relatively low. 2021Q1's revenue reached an all-time high of 149 million yuan, mainly due to the postponement of some 2020 orders to 21Q1 recognized revenue. Under the high base factor, 22Q1's income growth is under pressure as a whole.
