Tapai Group disclosed its annual report for 2022. During the reporting period, the company achieved 18.4457 million tons of cement production, down 7.65% from the same period last year; The sales volume of cement was 18,264,400 tons, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.70%; the sales volume of clinker was 886,600 tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 319.75%; the total sales volume of cement and clinker was 19,151,000 tons, representing a year-on-year decrease of 4.25%; Operating income was RMB6.035 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 21.76%; net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB266 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 85.50%; basic earnings per share was RMB0.23, and cash dividends of RMB1.2 (tax inclusive) per 10 shares were distributed in the annual report. During the
reporting period, the sales volume of cement of the Company decreased by 7.70% year-on-year, the sales price of cement decreased by 18.35% year-on-year, and the sales cost of cement increased by 9.60% year-on-year due to the year-on-year increase in the purchase price of coal. As a result, the company's comprehensive gross profit rate decreased from 37.22% in the same period last year to 17.00%, a decrease of 20.22 percentage points, and the profit level decreased significantly.
At the same time, in view of the significant decline in the profitability of cement and the decline in the utilization rate of production capacity during the reporting period, based on the principle of prudence, the company conducted an impairment test on some cement clinker production lines and cement grinding systems with signs of impairment at the end of the year and made a provision for impairment of fixed assets of 51 million yuan. Affected
by the decline of stock index, the company's securities investment in the reporting period showed a floating loss, compared with a floating profit in the same period last year, and the disposal of wholly-owned mixing station equity in the same period last year realized more investment income, resulting in a decrease of 285 million yuan in non-recurring gains and losses in the reporting period.
To sum up, the operating profit, total profit and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company during the reporting period decreased significantly as compared with the same period last year due to the decrease in both sales volume and price of cement and the increase in cost, combined with the significant decrease in non-recurring gains and losses and the impact of provision for impairment of fixed assets.
