Overall ranking is valued by weighted average of three criteria (Capable R&D:35%, Strong commercialization capability: 35%, Attractive valuation: 30%) Note: The four companies labelled with blue colour are initiated by us this time. Source: Credit Suisse ■ Stay on the sweet spot (Oncology and CNS). We forecast China’s chemical drug sector to deliver 15% CAGR in 2014–16, reaching about Rmb900 bn market size; however, the growth rate will vary among different therapeutic areas due to the higher morbidity rate for chronic diseases related to ageing population, urbanisation and lifestyle changes. We expect oncology drugs (17.5% CAGR in 2014–16) and CNS drugs (18.1% CAGR in 2014–16) to gain market share, while anti-infective drugs (9.5% CAGR in 2014–16) to lose market share. ■ Only the leader will win. China’s chemical drug market is fragmented compared to the global level (CR10: 15% vs 42%), but we see the domestic leading companies are gaining market share. We believe the trend of consolidation will stay stable, driven by: (1) higher barrier for R&D, (2) higher barrier for manufacturers, (3) favourable tender policy and (4) more M&A. ■ Our stock picking criteria is: (1) capable R&D capacity, (2) strong commercialisation capability and (3) attractive valuation. ■ Initiate on four stocks: Hengrui (TP Rmb49, 26% upside, OUTPERFORM) > Huahai (TP Rmb19, 32% upside, OUTPERFORM) > Salubris (TP Rmb45, 19% upside, OUTPERFORM) > Humanwell (TP Rmb29, 5% upside, NEUTRAL); among all A -and H-share chemical drug stocks, our top picks are Hengrui, Sihuan, Huahai and CSPC Pharma.

However, the growth rate will vary among different CNS to gain market share therapeutic areas as the higher morbidity rate for chronic diseases is related to ageing while anti-infective to lose population, urbanisation and lifestyle change. We expect oncology drugs (17.5% CAGR in market share 2014–16) and CNS drugs (18.1% CAGR in 2014–16) to gain market share while anti- infective drugs (9.5% CAGR in 2014–16) to lose market share. Only the leader will win Our research shows that larger companies recorded better operating results over small Larger companies recorded companies from 2009 to 2014 with higher revenue growth (20% vs 9%), gross margin better op. results over small (46% vs 42%) and ROE (19% vs 13%). We believe the trend will remain unchanged driven companies from 2009–14 by: (1) higher barrier for R&D, (2) higher barrier for manufacturer, (3) favourable tender with higher revenue growth, policy and (4) more M&A. gross margin and ROE Higher barrier for R&D. (1) The number of SFDA chemical drug approvals dramatically decreased from 889 in 2010 to 374 in 2013, despite rising numbers of new applications. (2) On an average, cost of each new drug application increased to Rmb4.5 mn in 2013 from Rmb2.4 mn in 2010. Higher barrier for manufacturer. New GMP (good manufacture practice) guidelines were New GMP (good announced by CFDA. (1) All pharmas are required to meet new guidelines by end-2013/end- manufacture practice) 2015, (2) about 13% of pharmas in China are loss making and cannot afford a GMP upgrade guidelines set higher barrier (about Rmb20 mn for each production line) and (3) by the end of 2013, 99% of top 100 for manufacturer pharmas got the new GMP certificates, while the total compliance rate was only 60.3%. Favourable tender policy. We believe that tender policies favour big pharma companies Tender policies favour big in two ways: (1) when setting up the tender scoring system, most provinces give credits on pharma companies the companies’ scale and (2) the big pharmas, which usually have rich pipelines can take the chance to monetise new drugs. More M&A. In China, the concentration rate of the top ten pharmaceutical companies was In China, the concentration ~15%, far below 52% in the US and the global level of 42%. According to the data from rate of pharmaceutical Bloomberg, the consolidation in the China healthcare sector shows an accelerating trend. companies is growing faster In 2013, the total deal value of M&A within the China healthcare sector was recorded at US$5.1 bn, with a YoY growth rate of 43% Three stock-picking criteria ■ Capable R&D capacity: Capable R&D is the key advantage to protect margin and We use strong R&D capacity, growth sustainability. Hengrui leads in the criteria. commercialisation capability ■ Strong commercialisation capability: For domestic market, strong sales capability is and attractive valuation as important given most players sell homogeneous generics. For overseas market, the US stock-picking criteria generic market is facing an opportunity driven by deficit budget and the upcoming patent cliff. Hengrui leads in the domestic market while Huahai wins market shares in the US. ■ Attractive valuation: The A-share chemical drug sector is trading at 27x 2015E P/E. We prefer stocks with discount or reasonable premium. Initiate on four chemical drug stocks Our pecking order is Hengrui (TP Rmb49, 26% upside, OUTPERFORM) > Huahai (TP Rmb19, 32% upside, OUTPERFORM) >Salubris (TP Rmb45, 19% upside, OUTPERFORM) >Humanwell (TP Rmb29, 5% upside, NEUTRAL); among all A- and H-share chemical drug stocks, our top picks are Hengrui, Sihuan, Huahai and CSPC Pharma. Key risks include setback in drug tendering, price cut and development of new drugs.
