In 2021, the Company achieved total profit of RMB 32.503 billion, representing an increase of RMB 47 million or 0.15% as compared to 2020. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company was RMB 26.447 billion, representing an increase of RMB 0.149 billion or 0.57% as compared to 2020. Basic earnings per share were RMB 1.1629 in 2021, representing a decrease of RMB 0.0224 or 1.89% as compared to 2020. The increase in the performance of the Company's investment business, international business and power stations' maintenance business counteracted the impact of the decrease in electricity sales performance.
Note: The main reason for the decline of basic earnings per share is basically that the Company completed GDR issuance in October 2020, and the weighted average of common shares in the current period is higher than that of the previous year.
