With mgt. effort to spread the credit sale risk, the top 5 customers' contribution is lowered to 16.6% from 22.8% under the revenue growth of 20.4%. Reiterate "Buy" with TP 5.40, which implies 10.3 and 13.12 forward P/E and EV/EBITDA in FY2014 respectively Share Price catalyst:1) Glass price rebound especially in 3rd peak season 2) Diversified existing glass products portfolio and Ultra-thin electronic glass business opportunities 3) Inventory turnover decrease from 72 to healthy 65 days reflect a good sign of production and transportation scheduling. 4) Attractive valuation after ~25% share price correction. Key Risk:1) cooling property market and falling new residential buildings construction 2) Float glass production overcapacity. 3) capital expenditure on waste management 4) Sluggish glass price due to weak local demand and export orders.

US unstable weather also pressured glass export rate, trimming the OP as the automobile segment also rely on US autos parts demand. My view on 2H2014 stay positive as foreign demand restore and construction resume will drive glass price rebound, leading to Renminbi weakened against Hong Kong dollar Source: boli.cn contraction of OP & NP margin drop. Recent price weakness reflected the 2.84% depreciation of RMB against HKD since XYG is more exposed to RMB denominated activities. I foresee RMB continue down to stimulate export for 7% GDP target. I am bullish on the demand of autos glass biz as they are mostly foreign buyers, which mitigate some foreign FOREX rate risk. New opportunities from ultra-thin electronic glass Ultra-thin electronic glass production line in Wuhu industrial zone is expected to be commenced in FY2014. The market concentration is high and dominated by JP/TW manufacturers regarding the technology and quality. Despite the segment face fierce competition from AGC and Corning as per experienced by Luoyang glass (1108:HK) and CNBM (3323:HK) similarly, I expect mid-high end ultra-thin electronic glass is able to bring the company into new era in FY2015-16 and hedge float glass downside demand risk under the impose of import duties from 4 to 6% to Japan. No operation statistics are disclosed by XYG. Current Anhui production line focused on low-priced thicker >0.7mm glass, suppressing GP margin. I believe XYG is able to convert production to high-quality 0.55mm glass, creating new business opportunities and share price catalyst. However, there will be no surprise in FY2014 considered its economy of scale and unproven production efficiency. Source: Company, Analyst Est.

Profit warning inline with sensitive analysis Regional natural gas price differentiate players Based on my sensitivity analysis on operation profit margin Management advised all factories are operated by natural gas, and china glass price index, I foresee the 1H2014 OP margin where the gas source is unaffected by the recent gas price and NP margin will be down by 4.1% and 2.2% thanks to hike. I assume the natural gas price hike in our conservative weakening float glass price and initial YingKou and Deyang base scenario under demand-pull inflation and strict float glass operation lost, result in 21%NP decline and thus government policy on emission standard. I has already factored inline with the profit warning of around 25% downslide in in the GP margin drop and believed GP to down by 1.29% in 1H2014. However, I believe XYG is capable to pass through FY2014. Besides, with industry differentiated price strategy and the hard time due to its diversified glass products and new most factories are using natural gas as their energy input, production lines are likely to breakeven in 1H2015. I also expect peers will also raise product price to prevent from profit foresee XYG will also be the ultimate beneficiary given the margin lost. industry consolidation and overall capacity reduction, thus I think XYG is the long term winner with its defensive strategy. 2 All Right Reserved by Mike Kwok Mike Kwok Email: [email protected] Mike The Analyst Phone Number: (852) - 95035885 Value Investing - Asia Focus Production surplus put low-quality glass manufacturers in risk According to China boli, glass inventory is still stayed at high-level 3.2M tones and recorded YoY of 17%. 10 production lines are being ignited in 1H2014, accumulated 8150 tones daily melting capacity. Flat glass capacity surge to 338M till 5M2014 and 7-8 production lines are expected to be deployed in 2H2014. Glass price is expected to down to digest the inventories. Low-quality float glass over-capacity is extremely severe result in some enterprises recorded lost. My scenario depicts that this will speed up the elimination of lagging production capacity, lead to long term production shut down for glass manufacturers dragging on/below variable cost given low profit margin. Xinyi Glass focus on high-quality float glass, which is less impacted under this scenario.
