6 March 2020 Greater China EQUITIES Greater China Consumer - Food services Inside Look forward to 2021 HK/China consumer valuation table 2 Key points Restaurants 4 Restaurant remains fragmented but hot pot remains popular. Condiments 7 Leading condiment players keep consolidating with pricing power. Restaurant GPM to normalize in 2H20, Initiate on Haidilao and Angel Yeast. Haidilao, Fuling Zhacai and Angel condiment price hikes in the cards 13 Yeast are our top picks. The China restaurant and condiment industries are in the sweet spot with likely Restaurants high-single-digit growth over the next three years. With rising health Haidilao (6862 HK) 16 consciousness and brand awareness, we expect the branded names will consolidate the market share. We are initiating coverage of Haidilao and Angel Yum China Holdings (YUMC US) 43 Yeast. Along with Fuling Zhacai, they are our top picks in this sector. We believe Xiabuxiabu Catering (520 HK) 47 Haidilao’s high valuation is justified by fast store expansion and high-quality Gourmet Master (2723 TT) 52 mgmt. Fuling’s channel inventory destock is coming to the end, and we expect it will resume growth from new channels and new products. For Angel Yeast, we expect overseas expansion and Yeast Extract will drive sales growth and margins Condiments will expand on price hikes, better product mix and higher operating efficiency. Fuling Zhacai (A-Share) (002507 CH) 57 Restaurant remains fragmented but hot pot remains popular Angel Yeast (A-Share) (600298 CH) 76 China’s restaurant sector will see a material NP impact in 1H20 as many restaurants have faced temporary store closures amid COVID-19. That said, we expect the impact to be transitory and the industry will continue to deliver high-single-digit growth p.a. in the long run. While it’s hard to predict when it will normalize, we now estimate 1H20 NP for covered restaurants will decline 30-45% YoY. Given the industry is highly fragmented, chain operators have ample room to consolidate the market given scale advantage and mature operations. Cuisine-wise, we are positive on hot pot as it’s in the sweet spot to gain share from other cuisines given changing demographics, a flexible menu offering and interactive dining experience. We prefer market leaders with strong NP growth potential and Haidilao is our top pick in the space. Restaurants’ GPM to normalize in 2H20 We expect restaurants’ GPM may trend down in 1H20 before normalizing in 2H20 as restaurants gradually resume operations. We believe the animal protein cost pressure will gradually ease in 2020, given we expect the hog price reflection point will occur in 2H20. The broiler price is likely to rebound in 2Q20 due to supply chain disruptions in 1Q20 amid COVID-19. Based on our analysis, a 10% meat protein price change could result in a 6%/15%/17% OP change for YUMC, XiabuXiabu and Haidilao. Leading condiment players keep consolidating with pricing power The China condiment industry could enjoy high-single-digit industry growth over Analysts the next three years. Channel-wise, the 2B channel benefits from both a strong restaurant industry and delivery growth though there are near-term hiccups. On Macquarie Capital Limited Linda Huang, CFA +852 3922 4068 the other hand, we expect the 2C channel will benefit from the steady [email protected] consumption upgrade trend and multi-category expansion. We believe both Terence Chang +852 3922 3581 Fuling Zhacai and Angel Yeast will consolidate the market on the back of the [email protected] consumption upgrade trend. We expect the leading players will demonstrate Sunny Chow +852 3922 3768 pricing power to pass through the raw materials pressure to consumers. [email protected] Top picks Cici Yu +86 21 2412 9078 Restaurants: Haidilao is our top pick. Maintain OP on XiabuXiabu given new strategies [email protected] to rejuvenate growth. Maintain N on YUMC due to the moderating SSSg trend. Hugo Shen +86 21 2412 9077 Condiments: Fuling Zhacai and Angel Yeast are our top picks. Maintain OP on [email protected] Haitian due to market consolidation and fast oyster sauce growth. Maintain N on Yihai due to raw materials cost pressure and high valuation.
