Hyundai Glovis (086280.KS / 086280 KS) Rating NEUTRAL Price (31-Jan-17, W) 155,500 INITIATION Target Price (W) 140,000 Upside/Downside (%) -10.0 2 February 2017 Asia Pacific/South Korea Equity Research Leasing & Logistics Hyundai Glovis (086280.KS / 086280 KS) Rating NEUTRAL Price (31-Jan-17, W) 155,500 INITIATION Target price (W) 140,000 Upside/downside (%) -10.0 Mkt cap (W/US$ bn) 5,831 / 5.02 Stagnant growth with rising uncertainty Enterprise value (W bn) 6,234 Number of shares (mn) 37.50 ■ Initiating with NEUTRAL. We initiate coverage on Hyundai Glovis (Glovis) Free float (%) 48.6 with a NEUTRAL rating and W140,000 target price. Glovis is a logistics 52-wk price range (W) 207,500-149,000 company which generates over 70% of sales from Hyundai Motor Group ADTO-6M (US$ mn) 14.0 (HMG). ES Chung, the Vice-Chairman and the heir apparent of the group Target price is for 12 months. Research Analysts chairman MK Chung, owns 23.3% of Glovis. As the growing value of Glovis benefits ES Chung the most, the stock has long been considered as the Michael Sohn 82 2 3707 3739 beneficiary of HMG's future holding structure changes. Yet, we have a non- [email protected] consensus view on the stock for the following reasons. ■ Captive HMG is no longer a growth driver. In 2006-2016, Glovis' sales showed 99.8% correlation with its operating profit and 97.3% correlation with HMG's (Hyundai Motor + Kia Motors) sales volume. Considering 2016-2019E HMG volume growth CAGR of 3.1% (vs 2006-2016 CAGR of 7.6%), we forecast Glovis' sales CAGR of 3.6% (vs 23.3% in 2006-2016) and OP CAGR of 4.4% (29.3% in 2006-2016). ■ Valuation de-rating with the ownership and regulation uncertainty. To meet the regulation, the Chung family made a block trade on Glovis in 1Q15 to lower the ownership to 29.99% from 43.39%. Not only was the stock limited down (-15%) on the next day, its valuation premium has also gradually disappeared since then. In addition, proposed bills by the opposition party, if passed, would force the Chung family to lower the ownership of Glovis further to below 20% and disconnect HMG's circular holdings, while their lock up period on Glovis expires in February-2017. Glovis' ownership premium has become an ownership uncertainty triggered by tightening regulations on conglomerates. ■ Valuation and risks. We derive our target price of W140,000 by applying target PER of 9.6x, which is based on an average PER of HMG stocks and Glovis' historical average PER, to 2017E EPS. Risk to our call is faster-than- expected growth in third-party sales which can bring incremental growth.

With an inseparable business structure with Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), we target price of expect 3.6% YoY sales growth CAGR in 2016-2019E and see 4.4% OP CAGR for the stock W140,000 in 2016-2019E. In addition, the long lasted ownership premium on the stock has become an ownership uncertainty post Chung family's block trade in 1Q15, while tightening regulations under 'Economic Democratisation' will continue to be an overhang, which will depress the valuation, in our view. Under any HMG group restructuring scenarios, we expect the Chung family's Glovis shares to be eventually traded with new Holdco shares. Captive HMG is no longer a growth driver HMG affiliates' 70% of Glovis' sales come from its captive Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) and 87% of sales are stagnant growth generated from logistics and CKD (complete knock down parts, (link)) which have inseparable CAGR limits Glovis' business relationships with HMG. As HMG's major entities (Hyundai Motor, Kia Motors, growth Hyundai Mobis and Hyundai Steel) are expected to grow at 2.2% sales growth CAGR in 2016-2019E (vs 2006-2016 CAGR of 12.8%), we forecast Glovis to post 2016-2019E sales CAGR of 3.6% (vs 23.3% in 2006-2016) and OP CAGR of 4.4% (vs 29.3% in 2006-2016). Valuation de-rating with ownership and regulation uncertainty Valuation de-rated Since the IPO in December 2005, Glovis was known as the key beneficiary of HMG's future post Chung family's holding structure changes as growing value of the company benefits ES Chung and MK block trade in 1Q15 Chung who own 29.99% of the company. The company posted solid growth supported by which we expect to HMG, and Chung family's major ownership was the main reason for the stock to receive 68% continue P/E premium on an average in 2006-1Q15 over HMG's entities. Yet, after the Chung family made a block trade attempt on Glovis in January-2015 and made a block trade in February- 2015 to meet the tightened regulation on intra-group revenue transaction, the stock limited down in the next day (vs Mobis up 12%) and its valuation premium has gradually disappeared since then (Hyundai’s Chungs revive Glovis' stake sale to avoid probe). In addition, the proposed bill by the opposition party would force the Chung family to lower the ownership further to below 20%, if passed, while their lock up period on Glovis expires in February 2017. As such, we believe the Chung family ownership premium on Glovis should be considered as the ownership uncertainty with regulation uncertainty will continue to depress the valuation and stock performance.

  • EMGT 835 Field Project: Global Shipbuilding, Who Will Be the Leader? South Korea Or China?
    EMGT 835 Field Project: Global Shipbuilding, Who will be the leader? South Korea or China? By Yong Jin Dan Master of Science University of Kansas Fall Semester, 2007 An EMGT Field Project report submitted to the Engineering Management Program and the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Chick Keller, Committee Chair Herb Tuttle, Committee Member Annette Tetmeyer, Committee Member 1 Executive Summary Shipbuilding is an industry that most developing countries strategically choose as a long term development plan. South Korea has also developed the shipbuilding industry as a part of governmental plan. Since 2000, South Korea has kept the leading position in the industry and seems to be dominant until in the middle of the 2010’s. South Korea’s biggest strength is design capability and technological superiority which should enable them to promptly reflect customer needs. In addition, a relatively abundant workforce, openness to innovation, strong R&D investment and the development of the related industries will also play key roles to remaining competitive in the industry. Meanwhile, China has become the second largest shipbuilder in the industry since 2006. A China’s soaring economic growth has been a big push for the shipbuilding and related industries as well. As of January 2007, China has 51% of orders place worldwide, which includes an 81% share of the low end vessel market. China is now threatening not only South Korea but also all shipbuilding countries with its price competitiveness, aggressive capacity expansion and technological cooperation with western countries.

  • Korean Multinationals Show Solid Recovery After Global Crisis
    Korean multinationals show solid recovery after global crisis Report dated November 16, 2010 EMBARGO: The contents of this report must not be quoted or summarized in the print, broadcast or electronic media before November 16, 2010, 10:00 a.m. Seoul; 1 a.m. GMT, and 9:00 p.m. November 15, 2010, New York. Seoul and New York, November 16, 2010 The Institute of International Affairs of the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at Seoul National University in Seoul, and the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment (VCC) at Columbia University in New York, are releasing the first annual report on leading Korean multinationals. The research for this report was conducted in 2010 and covers the period 2007 to 2009. 1 Highlights The Republic of Korea (henceforth ‘Korea’), the 11 th largest economy in the world, has now become one of the leading investors abroad. The number and the size of the corporate giants that dominate the economy have increased over the years, boosting and diversifying their investments around the world. Korea’s multinational enterprises ranked by their foreign assets (see table 1 below) show about USD 93 billion in assets held abroad. 2 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (SEC), a member of a leading Korean conglomerate, ranked 1 st with slightly over USD 18 billion, followed by another top conglomerate member, LG Electronics, with over USD 10 billion dollars. Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd, and DSME Co., Ltd, had foreign assets of over USD 8 billion each and LG Display had over USD 6 billion.
