We see this asset-light business model as 20 positive for Greentown and an effective way to expand its operation with 16 minimal capital requirement. Following the acquisition of Greentown Dingyi 12 and Greentown Shidai (both are property development management companies offering one-stop services in planning, design, project development 8 and construction management) in early August, Greentown has reached an 4 important milestone in property development management, in our view. 10/13 4/14 10/14 4/15 Greentown China We see HK$1.99/share NAV accretion from asset-light business initiative HANG SENG INDEX (Rebased) According to management, Greentown first engaged in property development Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m management for the private housing sector as early as 2010, and has Absolute 9.5 -25.7 -18.3 cumulatively been involved in 52 projects, with total GFA exceeding 17mn sqm. By assuming the number of projects under management reaches 80 by HANG SENG INDEX 4.8 -10.0 -1.9 2018, we estimate the fee income to reach Rmb1bn (based on 3.5% over sales Source: Deutsche Bank of Rmb30bn). Furthermore, by assuming a net profit margin of 40%, we estimate contribution from property development management to reach 3%, 5% and 7% of core net profit in 2015-17, respectively. Target price based upon 30% discount to our NAV estimate of HK$20.29/shr Our target price is based on a 30% discount to our revised NAV estimate of HK$20.29/shr (HK$18.58/shr) by including the accretion from the property development initiative, which implies a 2015e PER of 8x. Our target discount is markedly higher than industry leaders like COLI/Vanke (both at 10%), which we believe is appropriate, given its business scale, operating history and leverage. Risks include economic fluctuations and housing demand.
