Industry and Company Focus PICC Group (01339 HK) PICC P&C (02328 HK): Life Premiums Decline Narrowed Analyst: Wiley Huang What happened: PICC Group (01339 HK) announced 1-2M18 premium income after market closed on March 20. Total premiums decreased 7.8% YoY to RMB112,328 mn, among which PICC P&C (02328 HK) increased 16.0% YoY and PICC Life decreased 16.1% YoY, respectively, to RMB63,808 mn and RMB44,583 mn. Comments and Views: Both of PICC P&C and PICC Life recorded negative MoM growth in February because of seasonality and late spring festival in 2018. PICC P&C experienced 45.9% MoM decrease in 2M18 premiums, while YTD premium growth decelerated to 16.0% in 1-2M18 from 26.2% in 1M18. 2M18 premium of PICC Life was down 77.7% MoM, whereas YTD premium decline narrowed to 16.1% in 1-2M18 from 23.1% in 1M18. As new round of auto insurance pricing reform has been launched in several regions, we believe the declining profitability on auto insurance will lead to increase in premium concentration in auto insurance market. As the largest P&C company in China, PICC P&C is able to offset the declining auto insurance profit by lowering operating cost. Despite PICC Life is still weak in business quality, we expect the expanding agency channel to deliver significant growth in high margin premium in 2018. Investment suggestion: PICC Group is trading at 1.0x 2017F P/B, which is cheap among listed life insurers. We expect the development of agency channel of PICC Life to be the valuation recovery driver in 2018. PICC P&C is trading at 1.4x 2017F P/B, lower than its 5-year average. We expect 2017F results to be the catalyst. The closing price of the PICC Group s share on March 20 was HKD4.19, down 1.18% during the day. The closing price of the PICC P&C s share on March 20 was HKD16.14, down 0.49% during the day. Our target price for PICC Group is HKD4.75 with investment rating of Accumulate. PICC P&C s target price is HKD18.50 with Accumulate investment rating. PICC Group and PICC P&C will release 2017 results on March 23. We will review our earnings forecasts and target price in our next reports after analyst meeting. Tingyi (00322 HK): FY2017 Results Beat Expectation, Net Profit Increased 56.6% YoY Analyst: Barney Wu What happened: The Company posted its FY2017 results. Key fundamentals are as following: RMB million 2017 2016 YoY 4Q17 4Q16 YoY Revenue 58,954 55,579 6.1% 10,700 10,017 6.8% Gross profit 17,338 17,378-0.2% 2,627 2,637-0.4% Shareholder s profit 1,819 1,162 56.6% -119-244 51.1% EPS (RMB cents) 32.45 20.73 56.5% -2.13-4.35 49.0% Comments and Views: Tingyi s 2017 results were better than market consensus and our estimation. The company s 2017 revenue recorded RMB 58,954 million, up 6.1% YoY. In 2017, Tingyi s instant noodles and beverages sales increased by 4.9% YoY and 7.0% YoY, respectively. Tingyi s 4Q17 revenue rose 6.8% YoY, better than expected, mainly due to the strong recovery in instant noodle sales. Among the instant noodle segment, high-end instant noodles was the major revenue growth contributor, up 20.9% YoY in 2017. As for beverage business, RTD tea recorded the strongest sales growth, up 9.2% YoY in 2017. The company's 2017 gross margin was down 1.9 ppt YoY to 29.4%, mainly affected by the increase in raw material prices. Gross margin of beverage fell sharply, down 3.1 ppt YoY to 29.8%, as the prices of sugar, PET and paper materials rose significantly. Benefiting from strict expense control, the company's distribution cost to sales ratio decreased by 2.6 ppt YoY in 2017. Tingyi s 2017 shareholders profit recorded RMB1,819 million, up 56.5% YoY, higher than market consensus and our forecast about 5%, mainly due to the continuous See the last page for disclaimer 2 of 9
improvement on sales and effective cost control. Morning Research Focus Investment suggestion: In 2017, instant noodle industry and beverage industry recovered considerably. According to Nielsen, instant noodle sales in China recorded the first positive growth since 2014. Tingyi firmly maintained its leading position in the instant noodle market and grew faster than the overall growth of the industry. In 2017, China's beverage sales increased by 10.2% YoY. The Company's beverage business also fully benefited from the industry recovery, but its growth rate was lower than the overall growth rate of the industry. Tingyi maintained its leading position in the RTD tea market. However, bottled water, which was highly valued by management, performed unsatisfactorily and its market share continued to decline as bottled water priced at RMB2 still did not improve. Constrained by high raw material prices, Tingyi has started to adjust the ex-factory prices of its varying beverage products this year, which is expected to partially improve the company's profitability. Due to asset activation and the increase in the shareholders of TAB, the management expects Tingyi s net profit is expected to record a 25% YoY growth in 2018. We believe that Tingyi s current valuation is not attractive as its price has reflected the recovery of earnings in advance. We believe that Tingyi s current control over expenses has reached its limit, and the continued recovery of instant noodles and beverage business in 2018 remains uncertain. We will maintain our neutral rating on Tingyi but may review our TP in the coming company report. VSTECS Holdings (00856 HK): 2017 Shareholders Profit Increased 29.8% YoY, Beating Consensus Analyst: Andrew Song What happened: VSTECS Holdings posted its 2017 annual results. Key fundamentals are as following: (HKD m) Amount YoY Amount YoY Turnover 54,543 +13.3% Gross Margin 4.3% +0.4 ppts Gross Profit 2,347 +26.4% EPS (HK$) 0.503 +31.5% Shareholder s Profit 716 +29.8% DPS (HK$) 0.151 +21.8% Source: the Company. Comments and Views: The Company achieved a decent revenue growth in 2017. The Company restructure revenue breakdown into four categories by customers demands starting from 2017. Mobility digital devices increased 24.4% to HK$22,357 million, including 3C products and other consumer electronics. Components business provides components to large manufacturers like Lenovo and Hikvisions, which dropped 2.9% YoY due to the weak demands. Cloud and big data analytics business and network and data security business are the value-added IT services, with fast YoY growth of 12.4% and 17.2%, respectively. Benefiting from the higher proportion of 2B IT services which enjoy higher gross margin, overall gross margin improved by 0.4 ppts YoY to 4.3%. SG&A ratio slightly rose 0.2 ppts YoY to 2.4% due to the business expansion. Net margin improved 0.2 ppts YoY and ROE rose 2.1 ppts to 16.5%. Working capital days increased by 19 days YoY, mainly due to the longer account receivable days of large clients. However, those customers provide high quality businesses with high gross margin and low risks. Investment suggestion: VSTECS has transformed from an IT products distributor to a technology products solution platform. Benefiting from the tailwind of big data and cloud computing, the Company achieved rapid growth in value-added IT services business and improved its margin. We believe that the Company is able to continue to increase its market share and revenue growth leveraging on its solid partnership with upstream companies and wide channel layout. In addition, the business expansion in the Southeast Asia and launch of supply chain finance will be momentum in the near future. The Company s last price was HK$4.50. We have an investment rating of Buy with TP of HK$6.18. We are considering revising up earning forecasts and raise target price in the coming report. See the last page for disclaimer 3 of 9
Latest Reports Dali Foods(03799 HK):Long-term Growth Prospects Unchanged, Attractive Valuation Rating: Buy 6-18m TP: HK$7.60 Analyst: Barney Wu Report Date: 2018-03-14 Summary Recurring earnings were slightly below expectation. Dali Foods' 2017 revenue was generally in line with expectation, up 11.0% YoY to RMB19,799 million, mainly driven by beverage and trading business. Doubendou and Hi-Tiger are still major contributors, although growth of Hi-Tiger slowed down in 2H17. The Company's core gross margin increased 0.7 ppt YoY in 2017 due to price adjustment and portfolio optimization. The Company's shareholders' profit increased 9.5% YoY to RMB3,434 million in 2017, but excluding the rise in interest income, recurring shareholders' profit was slightly below expectations. Dali is making solid progress in the breakfast market. The Company is gradually launching the diversified "Quality Breakfast" range with varying shelf-life, to meet customer demand for healthy and quality products. The "Quality Breakfast" series is expected to be the main growth driver for Dali's baked goods sales. Doubendou is rapidly penetrating traditional channels and catering channels. As the penetration of Doubendou is continuously rising, we expect that sales of Doubendou will reach RMB2 billion-rmb2.5 billion in 2018. Doubendou is still the game-changer product for Dali. We believe that the market has overreacted to Dali's annual results and neglected the prospects of new products. The market size of bread of short shelf-life and soy milk is great enough to support long-term growth of Dali. Moreover, despite high growth prospects for Dali, the current valuation of Dali is still attractive compared to its major peers. Therefore, we maintain the Company s rating at Buy and raise TP to HK$7.60, which represents 21.9x 2018 PER, 19.0x 2019 PER and 16.3x 2020 PER. See the last page for disclaimer 4 of 9
