东方园林(002310):资产负债表仍承压

Oriental Garden (002310): Balance sheet is still under pressure

中金公司 ·  May 2, 2021 00:00

2020 and 1Q21 performance are in line with the previous KuaiBao.

Oriental Garden announced its 2020 results: income 8.73 billion yuan, an increase of 7.3% over the same period last year, a net loss of 490 million yuan, from a profit of 51.91 million yuan in 2019 to negative; 4Q20 revenue of 4.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year decline of 2.3%, a net loss of 450 million yuan 1Q21's revenue was 2.01 billion yuan, an increase of 354.4% over the same period last year (97.9% over 1Q19) and a net loss of 320 million yuan. The performance was in line with KuaiBao, but lower than we had expected, mainly due to low gross profit margin.

The gross profit margin fell 12.3ppt to 16.8% in 2020 compared with the same period last year, and the management fee decreased significantly to 5.6%, which we believe is due to the relatively high proportion of industrial waste sales in the income structure; the asset + credit impairment loss increased by 79.5% to 840 million yuan compared with the same period last year, mainly due to the provision of bad debt loss of 690 million yuan; other income increased by 940% to 290 million yuan compared with the same period last year, due to the increase in government subsidies. Net interest rates fell 6.3ppt to minus 5.6 per cent year-on-year. 1Q21 gross margin fell 19.9ppt to 1.2 per cent year-on-year, expense rate decreased 67.5ppt during the period, and net loss as a share of income narrowed 49.1ppt to 15.9 per cent year-on-year.

In 2020, the net cash outflow from operating activities was 750 million yuan, which was 580 million yuan less than the same period last year. We think that due to the improvement in the turnover of receivables, the cash outflow from investment activities has increased by 670 million yuan to 1.29 billion yuan, and we believe that capital expenditure has narrowed due to the high base caused by the disposal of assets in the same period last year.

Trend of development

Project revenue continued to decline, and the rebate has improved. Revenue from engineering construction fell 40.7% in 2020 from the same period last year, continuing the downward trend since 2018, with revenues from municipal gardens, comprehensive treatment of water environment and global tourism falling by 33.7%, 44.2% and 41.7% respectively, while gross profit margin rebounded to 32.8%. Considering that the company will increase the intensity of project payback (the balance of accounts receivable at the end of 2020 is 8.54 billion yuan, which is 710 million yuan less than that at the beginning of the year), and focus on promoting the implementation of financing projects that have been landed, we suggest that we should pay attention to the repair progress of the follow-up project business.

Industrial waste sales support income, but a drag on profits. In the second half of 2020, the revenue from industrial waste sales reached 3.59 billion yuan, accounting for 52%, up from 15% in the first half of the year, which is the main factor supporting the company's positive revenue growth in 2020. However, the business has not yet made a profit, with a full-year gross profit margin of-4.1%, which is a drag on the company's overall profit. We suggest that we pay attention to the follow-up profitability of the business.

The net debt ratio continues to rise. At the end of 2020, the company's interest-bearing debt balance reached 15.2 billion yuan, which continued to rise (6 billion yuan in 2019 and 3.2 billion yuan in 2020 compared with the same period last year, respectively), resulting in a net debt ratio of 103.1% in 2020, an increase in 18.7ppt over the same period last year. We suggest that we pay attention to the control measures of the company's debt ratio.

Profit forecast and valuation

We keep the 2021 net profit forecast of 280 million yuan unchanged, and introduce the forecast of 290 million yuan of net profit of 2022. The company's current price is trading at 0.8x 2021e Pmax B and 0.8x2022e Pmax B; due to some pressure on the company's balance sheet, we lowered our target price by 23% to RMB 3.70, corresponding to the 1% upside space for 0.8x 2021e Pmax B and 0.8x2022e Pamp B, maintaining a neutral rating.

Risk.

The profit of industrial waste sales is lower than expected, and the repair of net debt ratio is not as expected.
