Excluding the impact of certain non-recurring gains and losses, the yearly net profit still leapt 66.96% from a year earlier to 2.547 billion yuan ($388.315 million).

During the reporting period, EVE Energy's net cash flow generated by operating activities amounted to 1.863 billion yuan ($283.998 million), jumping 20.37% from the previous year. The yearly basic earnings per share stood at 1.54 yuan ($0.23), versus the 0.89 yuan ($0.14) for the year-ago period.

The company's gross margin stood at 21.57% last year, dropping 7.44 percentage points compared to 2020.

In addition, EVE Energy poured around 1.379 billion yuan ($210.264 million) in R&D-related businesses in 2021, which reflected a 90.7% year-on-year spike and made up 8.16% of the company's annual revenue.
