Logistics (Overweight) December 13, 2012 Industry Report Logistics (Overweight) Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd. Winner takes all Jay JH Ryu +822-768-4175 Oversupply to end; Top-tier firms to gain market share [email protected] Almost two decades of oversupply has taken its toll on the logistics industry, cutting freight rates in half. In the next five to ten years, however, we expect the oversupply situation to ease as the market becomes increasingly consolidated. Among the various segments of the logistics industry, warehousing and parcel delivery are anticipated to post the strongest recoveries. Warehousing margins are already improving on the back of recent supply shortages and geographic barriers to entry. Parcel delivery rates have plunged since the early 2000s, but we expect the segment to experience the logistics industryÊs fastest market consolidation on the back of M&A efforts (which have been underway for the past five years), shutdowns of underperformers, and the strengthening cost competitiveness of top-tiers. In 2013, CJ Korea Express (Korex) will merge with CJ GLS, and the merged entityÊs Seoul metropolitan area parcel terminal will be completed in 2014, accelerating consolidation. Meanwhile, trucking remains in a state of oversupply due to an increase in the number of trucks since the 1998 Asian financial crisis. Over the long term, however, the trucking business is also likely to see a steady recovery on the expansion of the logistics market and limited supply. The third-party logistics (3PL) segment, which accounts for about 60% of the logistics industry, is anticipated to continue to grow, aided by: 1) policy support and 2) the consolidation of the logistics market. The merger between Korex (an asset-based business utilizing its own transportation and shipping equipment) and CJ GLS (a non- asset-based business) should give rise to a company well-equipped to adapt to the changing market environment. Hyundai Glovis is expected to shift its business focus from second-party logistics (2PL) to 3PL. The growing presence of large logistics firms will likely expand the overall size of the market, and top-tier firms are anticipated to see their top-line growth accelerate amid industry restructuring. In our view, Korex will benefit the most from the aforementioned market changes; thus, we maintain our Buy call with a target price of W150,000. In addition, we initiate our coverage of Hyundai Glovis with a Buy rating and a target price of W300,000.

Investment summary 1. Riding out a period of oversupply The logistics sector has The logistics sector has been overlooked by investors due to its supply glut and low been overlooked by profitability. Indeed, a large number of independent contractors have entered the market investors since the Asian financial crisis, and most of them remain small in size and suffer from low margins. However, an increasing number of small and less profitable companies are being forced out of the market. This trend is most prominent in the parcel delivery segment. As restructuring, Profit deterioration is which began in earnest in 2007, has been accelerating recently, competition is expected to driving small and less ease going forward, leading to an improvement in profitability. In our view, competition is profitable companies out unlikely to intensify further as large conglomerates (e.g., Samsung Group, Shinsegae) have of the market already withdrawn from the market and entry barriers (e.g., costs) are high. While rates are unlikely to rise sharply in light of the B2C segmentÊs high price sensitivity (owing to an increase in small- to mid-sized internet-based operators), we believe that they will stabilize. And we believe that top-tier players will lead an ASP uptrend starting in 2014. Some segmentsÊ Certain segments are already displaying improvement in profits. In particular, some profitability is improving warehousing companies based in Seoul and the neighboring areas are seeing sharp improvement in margins on the back of their favorable locations. The supply of well-located warehouses and terminals is not meeting demand currently due to: 1) a lack of investment in the past three~four years, 2) high land prices, and 3) the governmentÊs land development regulations (greenbelt). Thanks to the supply shortage, Korea Integrated Freight Terminal, KorexÊs warehousing/terminal subsidiary, is reporting OP margins near 50%. Trucking and Meanwhile, competition remains intense in the trucking and stevedoring segments with stevedoring segments to restructuring proceeding slowly and rates stagnating or even falling by over 50% in the past improve as well decade. Surging oil prices have depressed operatorsÊ profitability rapidly. The Korea Trucking AssociationÊs recurrent strikes are primarily attributable to this margin deterioration. However, we expect these segments to experience full-scale restructuring over the next three~five years, which should lead top-tier companies to cement their dominance. Figure 1.

  • Hyundai Glovis Buy (086280 KS ) (Maintain)
    [Korea] Logistics October 16, 2020 Hyundai Glovis Buy (086280 KS ) (Maintain) Poised for a re -rating TP: W215,000 ▲ Upside: 19.8% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Jay JH Ryu [email protected] Raise TP Raise TP to W215,000 and maintain Buy We raise our target price on Hyundai Glovis to W215,000. We revised up our 2020 and 2021 operating profit estimates by 0.6% and 8.7%, respectively. Hyundai Motor Group’s (HMG) market share is rebounding, and uncerta inties regarding the company’s ownership structure are likely to dissipate. Re -rating catalyst 1 Focus on fundamentals : HMG ’s resurgence Historically, Hyundai Glovis’s value has moved in tandem with HMG’s market status. HMG looks well-positioned to expand its presence in the global auto market on the back of electric vehicles (EVs). Given HMG’s new release cycle, we believe Hyundai Glovis’s volume is highly likely to recover. Re -rating catalyst 2 Both affiliate and non -affiliate volume to improve, supporting margin recovery The recovery in affiliate volume should lead to fleet expansion, which should , in turn, enhance the company’s ability to win over non-affiliate volume. Falling pure car carrier (PCC) charter rates and the current weakness of competitors also provide a good opportunity for the company to expand its fleet. The company should see new business opportunities through its affiliates (e.g., hydrogen distribution/transportation). Re -rating catalyst 3 Expectations on ownership structure overhaul There are growing expectations on HMG’s ownership structure overhaul (to unwind circular shareholdings). We expect Hyundai Glovis’s value to rise in the process, as it did during the company’s previous attempt to merge with Hyundai Mobis (012330 KS/Buy/TP: W250,000W/CP: W234,500).

Proposed merger with Hyundai Mobis is scrapped st [ Transport/Energy] - On May 21 , Hyundai Glovis announced that its proposed merger with Hyundai Mobis has been cancelled. Jay JH Ryu +822-3774-1738 - Hyundai Mobis decided to end the process after taking into account the views of proxy [email protected] advisers and its shareholders. - As such, the May 29th shareholder meetings where the deal was to be put to a vote have also been called off. 2. What to expect next - Hyundai Mobis said that it would come up with a new plan by supplementing and improving on the existing proposal. - We think it is unlikely that Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) will change the basic framework of the original plan, considering its pledge of shareholder-friendly policies, its stated rationale for the spinoff/merger, and the time required. - We expect HMG to untangle its circular shareholdings and gain control of the de facto holding company through 1) the split of Hyundai Mobis, followed by 2) a share swap between major shareholders and Kia Motors (Kia). - 3) We believe the group will then seek to merge Hyundai Mobis’ newly established entity (A/S and modules) with Hyundai Glovis.
