Matters: The company released its 2016 annual report, realizing an operating revenue of 392 million yuan, up 18.06% year on year, and a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of 62 million yuan, up 21.68% year on year; EPS 1.07 yuan/share, a year-on-year decrease of 6.14%, is proposed to distribute cash dividends of 2.5 yuan (tax included) for every 10 shares, and it is proposed to increase 10 shares for every 10 shares. The company released its first quarter report and achieved an operating revenue of 99.038 million yuan, up 8% year on year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 9.6496 million yuan, up 11.35% year on year; EPS 0.16 yuan/share, up 14.29% year on year.

    The revenue and profit grew steadily, and the trend continued to rise in Q1 2017: in 2016, the company realized a year-on-year growth of 18.06% and 21.68% respectively in operating revenue and net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies, and the performance continued to grow steadily. The steady growth of the company's operating revenue was mainly due to a year-on-year growth of 18.55% in architectural design revenue, which accounted for 89.17% of the company's revenue ratio; The growth rate of the company's net profit was slightly higher than the growth rate of operating revenue, mainly due to the increase in the proportion of the company's landscape design business revenue, which improved the company's gross profit margin by 0.55 percentage points in 2016. The company's cash flow from operating activities in 2016 was 102 million yuan, up 245.08% year on year, mainly because the company's ability to collect payments from downstream customers was strengthened during the reporting period, and the cash received from selling goods and providing services increased by 30% year on year, which was greater than the year-on-year growth of the company's operating income. In Q1 2017, the company's revenue and net profit increased by 8%/11.35% year on year. The better growth of revenue in the first quarter was mainly due to the factors of consolidated Beijing and Shenzhen Bilod (the parent company's revenue was 71.0771 million yuan, an increase of 0.45%; the subsidiary's total revenue was 18.9609 million yuan, an increase of 50.34%). The company's Q1 revenue increased by 8% in 2017, 4.3 percentage points higher than the growth rate of 3.70% in 2016 Q1 revenue. It is expected that the rising trend will continue in the later period.

    Extensive M&A was launched to help the extension of the industrial chain: in 2016, the company used part of the IPO to raise cash and its own funds to acquire 51% of the shares of Shenzhen and Beijing respectively, with a total transaction consideration of 133 million yuan. The acquisition had completed the industrial and commercial change procedures in October November 2016, and the consolidated statement was completed in November 2016. Shenzhen BLUD and Beijing BLUD promise that the non net profit deducted from the merger in 2016-2018 will not be less than 20 million yuan, 25 million yuan and 30 million yuan respectively; In 2016, Beijing Bilod and Shenzhen Bilod merged to realize a net profit deduction of 24.617 million yuan, and the completion rate of performance commitment was 123.09%, which was good. Bilod is a high-end brand of domestic interior decoration design and a well-known brand in the field of interior design and planning design of high-end star hotels and office buildings. This acquisition will help the company's business model extend from architecture and landscape design to high-end interior design. In the future, the company plans to further strengthen mergers and acquisitions, integrate high-quality resources in the industry, and extend the industrial chain upstream and downstream.
