Pou Sheng International (3813 HK) Rating Maintain BUY Penetrate into sports marketing regime Target price HK$2.81 From HK$3.10 Current price HK$2.20 Upside.27.9% 3Q16 NP slight miss; GPM still near record high on healthy retail 23 December 2016 discounts and channel inventory; Higher SG&A on new store openings Hayman Chiu Pou Sheng’s (PS) 3Q16 net profit accounted for ~68% of our FY16E [email protected] estimates (vs. 70% in FY15) on higher than expected SG&A ratio, while (852) 2235 7677 GPM soared 300bps Yoy to 36.2% (vs. 36.3% in 2Q16), which is higher than our FY16E estimate (35% GPM). The GPM hike was mainly driven by healthy channel inventory (~4-5 months) and hence a better retail discount (~low 20% Trading Data off in 3Q16 vs. mid 20’s in FY15). However, 9M16 SG&A ratio rose 182bps to 52-Week Range (HK$) 2.84/1.11 ~30.2% of sales in 9M16, which is higher than our FY16E estimates at 29.4%, 3 Mth Avg Daily Vol (m) 5.90 driven by faster than expected new store openings in 3Q16 (net adds: 233 in No of Shares (m) 5,337.62 3Q16 vs 386 in 1H16). By end-Sept, Pou Sheng’s net openings reached 619 Market Cap (HK$m) 11,742.7 (low-end target of 600-800 in FY16E). We expect PS’s SG&A ratio to be slightly >30% sales in FY17E/18E (vs. avg at 29.4% in FY13-FY15) driven by Major Shareholders (%) Yue Yuen (61.27%) international brands’ expansion plan in China. Auditors Deloitte Result Due 4Q16: Mar 2016 Nike and Adidas products’ demand still strong; New brand partnership continue to drive growth Company description Established in 1989 and listed in June 2008, Pou Nike and Adidas continue to account for ~80% of Pou Sheng’s revenue, and Sheng (PS) is one of the leading sportswear we expect both companies would continue deliver at least mid-teens growth in revenue in the medium term which will be driven by i) new store openings ; ii) distributors in China with ~25% market share. In revamp plan with distributors to enhance store operating efficiency, iii) addition to Nike and Adidas, the company adopts well-received response of leisure sportswear as well as functional sportswear. multi-brand strategy and distributes Puma, Meanwhile, we continue to believe new brand partnerships with Sketchers, Converse, Under Armour and PONY products etc. Under Armour (UA US) and GEOX etc would also help through their As of September 2016, Pou Sheng’s retail increasing presence in China. network comprises of 8,455 stores, in which ~62% are directly operated stores. Acquired PCG bros and to tap into China sports events and marketing regime Price Chart Pou Sheng announced in Nov 2016 the acquisition of Yue Yuen’s (551 HK) sports marketing and organisation of sports events business for US$9.23mn. PCG Bros was incorporated in 2015; the audited consolidated net loss after tax was US$1.1mn in 2015. With previous experience in Taiwan, Management targets business to ramp up in China in 1-2 years’ time. We expect more colours on China development roadmap from Management in FY16E results (due in March 2017) Lower earnings estimates on higher SG&A, Maintain Buy to ride on international brands’ expansion in China and improving operating efficiency Sources: Bloomberg, CIRL We revised down PS’s FY16E/17E EPS by 3.1% and 9.2% respectively on higher SG&A ratio as international brands continue their store expansion plan in China, which would facilitate Pou Sheng’s future growth, while GPM expansion partially offset the hike in SG&A ratio. With EPS expected to grow at 43.0% CAGR in FY15-17E, and share price down by 16% in past 3 month, its FY17E 11.2x P/E (~22.7% discount to international peers) still looks undemanding. We maintain Pou Sheng’s rating at BUY but lower PS’s TP from HK$3.10 to HK$2.89 based on 14.5x forward PE (par to international peers’ average) and FY17E EPS.
