Woon-mok Baek Outperformance driven by strong fundamentals +822-768-4158 [email protected] 1H12 Review: F&B market, earnings, and share performances were strong F&B shares significantly outperformed the KOSPI in 1H12 on the back of favorable earnings determinants (e.g., grain prices, F/X rates, consumption, product prices, competition, M&As, and overseas expansion). We attribute the sectorÊs robust performance to a drop in grain prices, won appreciation, and lighter competition, which lowered raw material costs and SG&A expenses. In 1H12, F&B shares underwent a virtuous cycle: lower costs led to higher margins, which in turn created earnings momentum, boosting shares. 2H12 Outlook: F/X rates to determine earnings and share performance In 2H12, grain prices are expected to remain on the decline, and product prices are anticipated to rise. Competition will likely ease further as companies are putting more focus on profitability than on market share. In addition, companiesÊ efforts to increase their global presence should pay off. However, the eurozone crisis and economic slowdown in China could continue to keep the won weak. Furthermore, consumption growth might be slower than expected. Table 1.

We recommend as our top picks CJ CheilJedang (improvement in foodstuff margins and lysine market share growth), Orion (strong growth in the Chinese confectionery market), Lotte Samkang (emerging as the control tower of the Lotte GroupÊs food businesses integration), Daesang (robust food businesses and earnings improvement at subsidiaries), and KT&G (red ginseng market growth and overseas expansion). We also like Dongwon Industries and Ottogi for their dominant market shares, earnings upsides, and low valuations. This document is a summary of a report prepared by Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd.
