<ul>
<li>Due to the lack of competitiveness, Zhifei’s self-developed products cannot contribute solid performance to make up for the shrinking revenue of HPV vaccines when more competing products gradually launched.</li>
<li>The real potential of HPV vaccine market in China is not as big as imagined. So, the companies involved have the problem of inflated market values.</li>
<li>Due to low demand of COVID-19 vaccine/negative impact of pandemic on HPV vaccination, Zhifei's revenue YoY growth could be 10%-20%; Net profit YoY growth could be negative in 2022.</li>

<ul>
<li>Fujian will lead 27 provinces to launch the centralized procurement of electrophysiological medical consumables. Its scale is comparable to the national VBP. Unlike many people's optimism, we see potential concerns.</li>
<li>The centralized procurement of orthodontic materials and brackets led by Shaanxi Province has made new progress, which is beyond the expectations of many people since invisible braces are included.</li>
<li>We analyzed China HPV market potential and valuation logic. We expected that the valuation of related companies would have a significant downward space ahead.</li>
