Among its three new brands, Gleagle consists of fas hionable models for youth with the first model of Geely Panda. While Emgrand targets to popular models mainly of high end commercial and home models. Shanghai Englon aims at middle and high end market with classic models, including A0, A class models. Geel y sold 415,843 units for the whole year of 2010, up 27% yoy from 2009, in line with the overall growth in China’s sedan market during the same period, exceeding its target of 400,000 units.

Amongst which, EC8 which are retailing at between RMB76000 to RMB160000, received the best market response. As a result of the shift of the Geely’s sales from low-priced models like “Maple” and “Free Cruiser” to higher-priced models like “EC7” and “SC7”, and the new addition of more high-priced models like EC8 series of large size sedans in the Geely’s product line, its ex-factory average sales price improved significantly in 2010, rising 12% to RMB45000 level during 2010. The gross profit margin improved slightly by 0.3 ppt to 18.4%, helped by better product mix and economies of scales, below our forecast, reflecting the cost pressure intensified during 2010H2 due to higher inflation in China and rising commodities prices during 2010. 3 Phillip Securities (HK) Ltd Geely ((( 1 7 5 , H K ))) June, 20, 2011 In addition, the proportion of admin expense and sales expense to revenue increased from 9.2% in 2009 to 10.5% in 2010 due to the start-up cost for two new plants in Jinan and Chengdu and the addition expenses related to the development of three new product brands.

In May 2011, Geely sold 31107 units, up 0.2% yoy , but down 10.9% from April 2011. The total sales volume in the first five months of 2011 wa s 183707 units, up 10.5% yoy and achieving 38.3% of the full year sales volume target of 480,000 units of vehicles in 2011. It is worthwhile to note that the export of Geely jumped by 131% ypy to 10396 units in the first five months of 2011 as the overseas market start to picking up recently. From the latest statistics, the prices of the main raw material showed a downward trend and the WTI set back after the high point in April, which will ease the industry cost pressures. We believe that the decline of demand for China auto market already came to an end, but it is unlikely to duplicate the surprised growth ratio. We think Geely’s target is conformed to the actual situation and expected to be achieved. 4 Phillip Securities (HK) Ltd Geely ((( 1 7 5 , H K ))) June, 20, 2011 Figure 4 Monthly Sales of Geely 45,000 2009 2010 2011 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Data source: Company Website, Phillip Securities What next? a new phase of “Strategic Transformation ” By the end of 2010, Geely had established three independent distribution and service networks under its three product brands in China, totaling 1,038 shops, comprising 697 independent exclusive franchise stores and 341 4S stores.
