Industry / Corporate News Becky Yuen, CFA – [email protected] Initiate BUY on Tongda Group (698) as company continues to win market share in metal handset casings Initiate BUY • Well-positioned to benefit from increasing adoption of metal casings of low- and mid-end smartphones thanks to high cost-performance ratio of its metal casing products Risk Level: Medium • Gross margin expansion to continue thanks to better product mix Time Horizon: Medium • Valuation is undemanding at 9.2x 2016 PER with a 38% EPS growth Tongda Group (698, $1.61) released a 1Q16 business update on operating performance on April 27, with turnover up 16.7% yoy to $1.4bn. Specifically, company cited that the metal handset casings orders from key customers increased as company started to produce some major handset models during the period, including Huawei Maimang 4, OPPO A53 and R9, Xiaomi Redmi 3, Redmi Note 3 and Xiaomi 4c. As a result, sales derived from Tongda’s top five customers in 1Q16 increased 21% yoy to $872mn, among which sales from handset customers grew 38% yoy to $799mn. Comment: We see the strong growth of handset-related sales in 1Q16 as a positive sign of Tongda’s rosy business outlook in 2016. Even though the strong growth from smartphone-related orders was largely driven by the launch of Xiaomi new models in 1Q16, we expect the strong momentum to continue as other Chinese smartphone brands are also pushing the adoption of metal casings for their new low- and mid-end models. We believe Tongda is a beneficiary of this trend thanks to its ability to offer a lower-cost option to smartphone brands with the use of Nano Molding Technology (NMT) as compared to the traditional use of pure CNC machines for metal casing manufacturing. Due to the high cost-performance ratio of Tongda’s metal casing products, we believe the company will be able to grab more market share from upcoming low- and mid-end smartphone models. Note that leading Chinese smartphone brands Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO are all major customers of Tongda, together accounted for close to 50% of company’s overall revenue in 2015. Tongda used to focus on plastic handset casing production in the past, and only started manufacturing of metal casings in 2H14. Yet the transformation was doing well and we saw revenue contribution of metal casings jumped from 6% in 2H14 to 12% in 1H15 and 35% in 2H15. As a result, handsets-related products now accounted for 61% of total revenue in 2015 as compared to 50.4% in 2014 even though China’s smartphone sales witnessed a slowdown during the period. Given that metal casing products enjoy a much higher gross margin of around 30% compared to approximately 20%-25% for plastic casings, a higher sales contribution from metal casing actually bodes well for Tongda’s profitability. In fact, we saw that Tongda’s overall gross margin had a huge enhancement in 2H15, up 1.5ppts yoy and 2.6ppts hoh respectively to 26.1%. In view of Tongda’s in line 1Q16 sales performance and management guidance of 35-40mn units of metal casings shipment in 2016 (12mn units were shipped in 2015), we estimate that company’s sales in 2016 will up 39.5% yoy to $8,471mn with metal casings accounted for 51% of overall sales. With an improved product mix, we expect gross margin of Tongda will further expand to 26.0% in 2016 whilst operating margin will increase 1.1ppts to 16.2%. This leads to our earnings forecast of $998.9mn, up 42% yoy. EPS growth will be 38% yoy to $0.174 due to the dilution from issuance of new shares. Counter is now trading at 9.2x 2016 PER that we think is undemanding. As such, we initiate BUY with 6-month target price of $1.92, equivalent to 11x 2016 PER.
