On the one hand, the original main business of the listed company has fallen into the bottleneck period of the industry, and it is in urgent need of industrial transformation and upgrading and seeking diversified development. This transaction will help the listed company to realize the layout of the new energy photovoltaic industry. On the other hand, through this transaction, Fengfan Co., Ltd. will expand its industrial chain vertically. The development of its own power transmission business can promote the consumption of photovoltaic power generation in the upstream, and the addition of photovoltaic business can promote the development and innovation of the transmission line tower manufacturing of the original main business downstream. .

The target company turned losses into profits last year, with high revenue growth

In terms of transaction price, Fengfan said that the audit, evaluation and due diligence related to the underlying assets have not been completed, and the proposed transaction price of the underlying assets has not yet been finalized.

However, Fengfan Co., Ltd. disclosed the financial status of Jingying Optoelectronics in the plan. The performance of the target in recent years has been improving and the growth rate is relatively fast. Last year, it turned losses into profits.

In 2020, 2021, and the first half of this year, the operating income of Jingying Optoelectronics was 466 million yuan, 847 million yuan, and 658 million yuan, respectively, and the net profit attributable to the parent was -116 million yuan, 116 million yuan, and 86.7006 million yuan respectively.

Although Jingying Optoelectronics has performed brilliantly in recent years, the photovoltaic industry is also in a period of development. Most solar photovoltaic cells use monocrystalline silicon wafers or polycrystalline silicon wafers as raw materials, but there are still certain risks in the operation of the target company. . Fengfan shares pointed out five major risks in the plan, including the risk of price fluctuations of raw materials and products, the risk of intensified market competition, the risk of overcapacity caused by industry expansion, the risk of battery technology iteration, and the risk of subsequent policy changes.
