Hengan International See the last page for disclaimer Page 1 of 8 [Table_PageHeader]Hengan International (01044 HK) Key Takeaways from Hengan International’s Reverse Road show ] 1 r a M t h g i R _ e l b a T [ Upgrades for automated equipment improved operating efficiency and saved in labor costs. We have seen great improvement in Hengan International’s (“Hengan” or “the Company”) two factories in Jinjiang with the installation of more automated equipment, including that of production, transportation, sorting and packaging. The Company has invested hugely in upgrading old equipment and optimizing production processes which requires new automated machines. For example, in the Company's plant of disposable sanitary products, Hengan has invested in robotic manipulators, costing RMB600,000 each, which can automatically sort and stack finished products. One robotic manipulator, which usually depreciates within 15 years 11 December 2017 (RMB40,000 per year), can replace two workers that are usually paid RMB60,000 annually. In order to avoid trouble, since half of its workers are native, Hengan has relocated extra workers to other positions instead of firing its employees and has ceased the hiring of new workers. Due to automatic upgrades in equipment and the improvement of production efficiency, the Company will have more idle capacity in old factories, which can be activated by lending to other companies. Hengan was included in CCTV's 2018 National Brand Campaign. The National Brand Campaign, launched by CCTV, aims to strengthen the influence of Chinese brands in global competition and to advertise the brands that can represent the country's image. Although the National Brand Campaign is actually CCTV's new bidding form for advertisers, National brand Campaign still has high standards to select clients. First, the enterprises need to belong to the national pillar industries or stable industries. Second, they must be in industry-leading positions. Third, products have to be of high quality,] with2 r thea M abilityt h tog representi R _ e l theb a T [ national image. Fourth, enterprises need to produce and sell in China and be widely accepted by Chinese consumers. According to the released data of 2017 National Brand Campaign, the lowest bidding prices for advertiser to be successfully included in the National Brand Campaign was more than RMB232 million. We guess that the advertising expense for Hengan should not be less than this number for this event. Despite the rise of new media, the position of CCTV in the advertisement market has been significantly challenged, its news and sports programs still hold strong positions in the advertisement market. After Hengan was included in the National Brand Campaign, not only can Hengan can use CCTV's rich advertising resources, but also the Company can be recognized by ordinary customers as a national brand authorized by CCTV. Targeting the young working female sanitary market. Hengan's sanitary napkins have achieved an absolutely dominating (01044 HK) position in the girls (15-25 years) sanitary market, as 85% of young girls choose Hengan's Space 7 (七度空间) as their first sanitary napkin product alongside the cute image of Space 7, which wins the affection of young girls. But Hengan holds 恒安国际 relatively weak position in the young working female sanitary market (25-35 years), especially in the female white collar market due to its younger age brand image and competition from foreign brands. In order to twist the adverse situation, Hengan launched a new series called "Spa7ce"; packaging is simple and has an elegant design, which targets the young working female market. As young working women have become the main purchasing power behind sanitary napkins, Hengan have put more effort into this market. In next few years, the new Spa7ce series will be one of the most important new products for Hengan to promote. The new Spa7ce series will be mostly distributed through modern channels and ecommerce platforms Hengan International since these are the main channels for young working women. The management expects that the new series has potential to be operated as an independent brand for working women.

As Space 7 has become a renowned brand among female customers, Hengan has a plan to fully exploit Space 7 into a comprehensive brand which provides diversified feminine] 1 r a productsM t h fromg i femaleR _ e carl ingb a T [ products to beauty makeup. Given that Space 7 has a solid customer base in feminine product markets, its brand extension in related markets should be relatively naturally and smoothly recognized by customers.
