Product-mix 4.1 130 enhancements from functional products (about 40-50% of 2Q16 orders vs. 3.6 113 less than 30% in 2015) carry higher ASPs than casual products and, on our 3.2 95 2.7 78 forecasts, would drive a 2.5pp improvement in the company’s operating 2.2 60 margin to 19.4% in 2017 from 16.9% in 2014.

Based on this transformation in XTEP Inter (LHS) Relative to HSI (RHS) business strategy, we expect the market to rerate the stock from its current 9.9x 2016E PER to around 11.5x. 12-month range 2.20-4.06 Market cap (USDbn) 1.11 Catalysts: 1) Upward revisions to consensus forecasts following better- 3m avg daily turnover (USDm) 2.14 Shares outstanding (m) 2,177 than-forecast 2Q16 sales fair results expected to be announced in the third Major shareholder Mr. Ding Shui Po (60.9%) or fourth week of October 2015; 2) confirmation of better-than-expected SSS growth and margin improvements as a result of its business Financial summary (CNY) transformation strategy, as reflected in the 1Q16 operational update in April Year to 31 Dec 15E 16E 17E 2016 followed by the 1H16 results in August 2016; 3) inclusion in Revenue (m) 5,264 5,835 6,373 Operating profit (m) 939 1,089 1,237 consensus estimates of incremental profit from the Wisdom (1661 HK, not Net profit (m) 615 720 825 rated) JV, which we estimate to be around 1-4% of Xtep’s 2016E EPS.

The stock Source: FactSet, Daiwa forecasts currently looks undervalued to us, trading at 9.9x 2016E earnings (6.4x ex- net cash) and we see grounds for it to be rerated closer to the sector average (around 13x) given its forte in the running/marathon segment. Moreover, we expect the company’s shift to a more functional and professional sportswear brand image to continue to support earnings growth. Risks: Channel inventory build-up on worse-than-expected demand for sportswear products as well as aggressive penetration into lower-tier cities from global sportswear brands are the key risks to our Buy (1) call.
