A positive profit alert for 2019 results was released. Anta Sports ("Anta" or the "Company") announced a positive profit alert

for its 2019 financial results. Net profit (without taking into account the share of loss of the] 1 JV)r isa expectedM t h g to i growR _ bye notl lb essa T [

than 45% YoY in 2019, mainly driven by 1) more than 35% increase in revenue, 2) higher revenue contribution from retail

operations, which enjoys higher GPM than wholesale operations and 3) relatively stable operating expenses ratio as a percentage of revenue. The Company expects to record share of loss of the JV amounting to not more than RMB650 million in 2019, comprising of 1) share of positive net profit generated by Amer Sports ("Amer") in 2019, 2) one-off expenses in relation to the acquisition of Amer Sports amounting to not more than RMB200 million and 3) impact from purchase price allocation (PPA)

exercise amounting to not more than RMB500 million. Including share of loss of the JV, the Company's net profit is expected to 13 December2019 increase by not less than 30% YoY.

Preliminary 2019 top-line growth and bottom-line growth slightly beat expectations. In our previous forecasts we expected revenue growth of 33.7% YoY and net profit growth of 36.1% YoY, which were slightly weaker than the new guidance. However, we didn't expect such a large amount of share of loss of the JV, especially the PPA. The PPA was generated when the JV Company took over the assets of Amer at a premium, which resulted in higher depreciation and amortization costs. The PPA will negatively impact the Company's P&L over the next few years. The negative impact is strongest in 2019 and will become weaker over the following years. The increased costs are all non-cash items, therefore they do not harm Anta's cash flow. The Company expects to see net gain generated from the JV in 2020 even taking into account of the PPA.

Channel performance remained stable and healthy in recent months. 3Q19 retail channel performance was in line with previous guidance. 3Q19 retail sales of Anta branded products grew YoY by mid-teens percentage, the same as last quarter. Retail sales of FILA branded products increased by 50%-55% YoY in 3Q19, lower than the last few quarters, mainly due to a high base in 3Q18. Retail sales of the other branded products increased by 30%-35% YoY, mainly driven by 50% YoY growth of Descente. The Company maintains their guidance that retail sales of FILA branded products will grow by more than 50% YoY and retail sales of Anta branded products will grow by mid-teens percentage for the full year of 2019. Channel inventory level of Anta and FILA remained at 4-5 months and 5-6 months in 3Q19, with retail discount rate at around 28% and 20%, respectively. According to management of Anta, channel inventory level and retail discount of both Anta and FILA brands remained healthy in October and November 2019. There will be less FILA store openings in 2H19 and 2020, while the profit margin of FILA will continue to improve. Besides, there is great growth potential for FILA Fusion in the future. Therefore the Company forecasts

FILA revenue to register no less than 30% YoY growth in 2020, driven by improvement in store efficiency and small amount of (02020 HK) store openings. The Company expects the Descente brand to achieve more than 50% YoY growth and contribute retail sales amounting to RMB800-1,000 million for the full year of 2019.

Future development plans for Amer Sports. The brands under Amer Sports have already created very strong market

recognition worldwide, and ranked top three among global sports gear brands in many] market1 r a segments.M t h g However,i R _ e nonel b ofa T [

these brands has achieved sales over EUR1.0 billion, and they grew at a CAGR of single-digit percentage over the past 10

years, which is much slower than that of Anta. Anta and management team of Amer Sports will take several initiatives over the next few years to improve Amer's performance. The major initiatives include: 1) Reforming the Go-to-Market (GTM) structure from a multi-brand management model to an individual brand focused model. 2) Shift business model from wholesale to direct-to-consumer (DTC) retail. Currently, revenue from DTC channel contributed only around 10% to Amer's revenue, which

the Company aims to increase to 30% by 2023; 3) Accelerating business growth in China. Future business growth in China 13 December2019 will be mainly driven by the three big brands: Arc'teryx, Salomon and Wilson. The Company aims to increase the number of stores in China to 5x-8x that of today, and uplift the revenue contribution from China market from 5% at current stage to 15% over the next few years. 4) Focusing on softgoods including footwear and apparel products. Softgoods was the fastest growing segment over the past few years and contributed 40% of total sales of Amer in 2018, which the Company aims to increase to more than 50% in the future. 5) Change of brand positioning. A large part of Amer's products are professional performance outdoor equipment, especially winter . Such equipment is not suitable for common retail consumers and therefore it's difficult to expand fast. The Company plans to add more lifestyle elements in the positioning of Amer's brands, and this also aligns with the strategy of focusing on softgoods, since softgoods have a much larger customer base. 6) Other initiatives, including upgrade of IT system, a new management incentive scheme, etc.

The Company has set ambitious targets for Amer Sports. Based on the initiatives mentioned above, the Company expects Amer to achieve revenue growth at a CAGR of 10%-15% over the next five years. The Company expects higher growth in net profit than sales growth, driven by improvement in profitability and better asset efficiency. The Company aims to improve Amer's net margin to double-digit percentage over the next five years. The Company aims to grow the three big brands, Arc’teryx, Salomon and Wilson, to "billion euro brands", and achieve more than 4x sales growth in China and around 50% sales growth in the U.S. over the next five years.

Anta partially disposed of interest in Amer. On 12 November 2019, the Company announced that Anta will sell a total of 5.25% interest in Amer to 1) certain members of Anta's senior management team, 2) Sequoia, 3) ZWC and 4) FountainVest. The gross proceeds will be approximately EUR140.0 million, and Anta intends to use the net proceeds, after deducting related

expenses, as general working capital. The purchasing price was generally at par with the price of the previous acquisition of (02020 HK) Amer. Upon completion of the transactions, Anta's voting interest in Amer remain basically intact at 57.70% (previously 57.95%) but its economic interest will be reduced to 52.70% (previously 57.95%). According to the management of Anta, the share

arrangement aims to include more valuable equity investors in the development of Amer. The new equity investors will not get 安踏体育 involved in the operation of Amer since they don't have voting rights, but they will provide useful resources in the industry to assist Amer's growth. In addition, the share arrangement also aligns more deeply the interest of Anta's senior management

team to Amer, which indicates their confidence in Amer's future growth. AntaSports

revenue to maintain 20%-25% growth during 2020 and 2021, driven by the strong and stable growth of FILA. We slightly revise

up 2019-2021 revenue forecasts by 1.1%, 0.6% and 2.0%, respectively, based on our new assumptions. We revise up 2019-2021 GPM forecasts by 1.5 ppt, 0.9 ppt and 0.6 ppt to 55.8%, 56.2% and 56.4%, respectively, on higher revenue contribution from FILA and sales from retail channels, which enjoy relatively higher margin. Although A&P expenses are expected to remain high in 2020 due to the sponsorship of 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the Company will continue to take efforts to

reduce operating costs. Therefore we revise down our forecasts on total operating expenses during 2019-2020. We revise up 13 December2019 2019-2021 operating margin forecasts by 1.6 ppt, 1.3 ppt and 1.6 ppt to 26.3%, 26.0% and 26.9%, respectively. We forecast share of loss of JV amounting to RMB650 million in 2019, as guided by the Company, but we expect the JV to generate a positive gain amounting to RMB100 million in 2020, since the negative impact from the PPA will be weaker in 2020. We forecast the Company's EPS to grow at a CAGR of 32.2% during 2018-2021.

Raise TP to HK$86.70 and reiterate "Buy". Anta has successfully employed its "single-focus + multi-brand + omni-channel" strategy. The Anta core brand and the FILA brand will maintain strong growth momentum, and the other new brands will

gradually contribute more to growth of the Company's top line and bottom line over the next few years. We also expect to see 安踏体育 the synergy effect between the Company's existing brands and the new brands under Amer, in respect to sales growth and cost savings. Therefore we remain confident in the Company's future growth and we believe that Anta will remain as the industry

leader and outperform its peers over the next few years. We forecast the Company's EPS to grow at a CAGR of 32.2% during AntaSports 2018-2021, and therefore we believe that Anta deserves a higher valuation multiple at 28x 2020 PER. We raise our TP from HK$74.70 to HK$86.70, which represents 38.7x, 28.0x and 22.1x 2019, 2020 and 2021 PER, respectively. Our new TP also reflects 20.6% upside potential, and therefore we maintain our investment rating at "Buy".

Risks: 1) a slowdown in China's sportswear industry growth, 2) fierce competition in the e-commerce business sector, 3) higher operational risks from the expansion of self-operated retail stores, and 4) weaker-than-expected growth of Amer Sports.
