Geely Automobile (00175Geely HK) Automobile See the last page for disclaimer Page 1 of 9 [Table_PageHeader]Geely Automobile (00175 HK) SALES AND OUTLOOK ] 1 r a M t h g i R _ e l b a T [ Geely Auto ("Geely" or the "Company") suffered a major setback in Dec. 2018 but aims for steady development in the future. Geely recorded the lowest sales volume since Jul. 2017 in Dec. 2018, with only 93,333 units delivered. This represents yoy decrease of 39.2%, the first decline in 4 years. This was unexpected especially in Dec. which is normally a month to boost volume for automakers. The weak sales in December dragged full-year sales to only 1,508,838 units in 2018, missing our previous expectation and management guidance. Despite that, Geely Auto still had decent 20.3% yoy improvement in 2018, January 2019 leading their market share in the PV market which continued to rise since 2015 and strengthened their market position. Currently, 9 Geely is the third largest automaker in China, lagging behind General Motors and Volkswagen. The management set guidance of 1.51 million units of sales in 2019, which is more conservative than our 2019 forecast. We believe that the Company is taking this chance to revamp its product portfolio, and to lay a stronger foundation for future opportunities and development. There are several points to take away from Geely’s sales.

Lynk & Co’s potential was dragged by engine shortages but the Company is all set for 2019 One major factor that contributed to the disappointment is that Lynk & Co. failed to ramp up due to the shortages of their 2.0T 吉利汽车 engine. The 2.0T engine is produced in Luqiao factory, which is also used to produce the Volvo XC40. This largely limited sales growth as a more powerful engines are more sought after options for most Lynk vehicle buyers. We believe next year will be Lynk’s year, as the new engine facility will commence production in 1Q19, which will unleash Lynk’s potential. It is in our view that demand for the Lynk 01 is still very strong, with about 80% of sales coming from the Pro version (MSRP RMB 180,000). In addition, it is noted that a considerable amount of new customers are switching from major JV brands, indicating initial success of Geely Automobile making a presence in the mid-to-high range. In terms of channel, there are currently 200 dealers and about 110 new additions in operation in the coming year. Figure-3: Lynk & Co. Sales Volume Figure-4: Sales Mix in Lynk & Co.

Newer models of Geely brand lack sustainability ] 1 r a M t h g i R _ e l b a T [ Excluding sales of Lynk & Co., sales of Geely brand decreased 40.4% yoy in Dec. 2018, but still recorded yoy improvement of 11.3% in 2018. The improvement was mainly from the full-year effect of several Vision models, including the X1, X3 and S1, which added 132,690 units of sales in 2018. However, there are a number of dragging factors. 1) We noticed the decline in the lower-end "Vision" series was more obvious and prevalent, which reflected the stiffer competition in the lower-end market (the vision models are marketed as lower-end models with the X1 starting from only RMB39,900 and the S1 entry price of January 2019 RMB69,900). The intense competition in the lower-end segment and weakened purchasing power in lower-tier cities negatively 9 impacted demand for the "Vision" series; and 2) sales of key models, the Vision SUV/ Emgrand GS/ New Emgrand/ Boyue, had a combined sales accounting for 47.9% of total sales, recording decreased sales of 4.9%/ 5.8%/ 5.4%/ 10.2% in 2018, respectively, due to aging reasons; and 3) a large model line up (18 models offered in 2018), with new models potentially cannibalizing old models.
