Bioeasy 2022 expected net profit CNY 110 million to CNY 150 million

Recently, Shenzhen Bioeasy Biotechnology released its 2022 annual results forecast. The company expected 2022 annual net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company to be CNY 110 million to CNY 150 million, down 36.58% to 53.49% year-on-year; Net profit after non-recurring gains and losses of CNY 95 million - CNY 135 million, down 36.83% to 55.54% year-on-year.

Explanation of reasons for changes in performance:

1. During the reporting period, the global epidemic prevention and control stabilized. While the company's Covid-19 related business revenue increases, the orders and revenue of conventional POCT business and food safety inspection business grow. However, due to the implementation of the company's share incentive plan to provide share-based payment expenses; and the global Covid-19 antigen detection products sales unit price decline, the company's Covid-19 products gross profit decline, which has a greater impact on the company's profit in 2022.

2. During the reporting period, the impact of non-recurring gains and losses on the Company's net profit is expected to be approximately CNY 15 million, mainly due to government subsidies and gains from financial management.
