Asia Pacific Equity Research 03 May 2016 Xtep International Holdings ▼ Neutral Previous: Overweight Limited 1368.HK, 1368 HK Upside risk limited following weak update from Peak Price: HK$4.55 ▲ Price Target: HK$4.50 Sport - Downgrade to Neutral Previous: HK$4.30 Following a ~80% share price increase since start of Jul-15 (v HSI -12%), we see Hong Kong limited upside risk to consensus forecasts given the operational update reported by Consumer Peak Sport overnight. With the sales environment weakening, investors may turn AC more attention to concerns surrounding growth in receivables days. We therefore Shen Li, CFA (852) 2800 8523 downgrade Xtep to Neutral. [email protected] Following a weak update reported by Peak Sport, we think upside risk to Bloomberg JPMA SHLI <GO> consensus forecasts for Xtep is relatively limited. Peak Sport (1968 HK, Not Ebru Sener Kurumlu Covered) reported its operational update overnight. Trade fair orders for 4Q16 (852) 2800-8521 recorded a low-single-digit decline. This compares to low-teens growth for [email protected] 3Q16. The company attributed the slowdown to warmer weather and weak George Hsu consumer sentiment. Apparel reported low-teens decline, while footwear (852) 2800-8559 [email protected] reported low-teens growth. SSSG for 1Q16 was flat, which represents Dylan Chu deceleration relative to mid-single-digit growth reported for 4Q15. We note (852) 2800-8537 that generally, Chinese sportswear companies have reported incremental [email protected] decelerating sales from 4Q15. Given the overall backdrop of weak consumer J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited sentiment, we see limited upside risk to our forecasts for Xtep. Price Performance With sales environment weakening, investors may turn more attention to ongoing growth in receivables days. Looking at the bigger picture, Xtep's 4.5 3.5 trade receivable days has increased from ~60days at Dec-11 to ~117 days at HK$ Dec-15. While we understand that receivables days increased in 2H14 and 2.5 1H15 due to greater incentives to help first tier distributors open more stores, 1.5 ongoing growth in receivables days post 1H15 is somewhat concerning. With May-15 Aug-15 Nov-15 Feb-16 May-16 sales across the industry slowing, investor attention may focus more on the 1368.HK share price (HK$) HSI (rebased) unsustainable nature of ongoing growth in receivables days. YTD 1m 3m 12m Abs 10.2% 9.6% 33.8% 61.3% Downgrade to Neutral. The Xtep share price has increased ~80% since start Rel 11.4% 6.2% 26.8% 86.4% of July (v HSI -12%). While the stock only trades at ~12x P/E, this still represents a 39% premium relative to the five year historic average. Given current earnings estimates, we see limited upside risk to consensus.
