Our target price revision is mainly due to the fact that we adjusted down our 2012 and 2013 net profit estimates by 8.3% and 8%, respectively, to reflect the slower-than-expected recovery of domestic consumption. However, we expect AmorepacificÊs overseas cosmetics operations to display strong growth despite intensifying competition. Using a sum-of-the-parts Buy (Maintain) methodology, we derived our target price by adding the value of AmorepacificÊs Target Price (12M, W) 1,250,000 domestic operations (W1,180,000/sh; based on our 2012F EPS for the domestic Share Price (08/09/12, W) 1,037,000 business and a three-year average P/E of 22x) to the value of its Chinese operations Expected Return (%) 20.5 (W70,000/sh; based on our 2012F EPS for the Chinese business and a P/E of 30x).

Company August 10, 2012 we believe that, once the economy picks up, the high-end cosmetics unit should grow drastically. We expect the companyÊs Chinese operations to stay robust on the back of its improving reputation.
