LG Chem (051910 KS ) Raise TP on Higher EV Battery Premium LG Chem (051910 KS ) Raise TP on higher EV battery premium Chemicals Raise TP by 10% to W450,000 on higher EV battery premium Revise up EV battery valuation to W8.4tr: We are revising up our valuation of LG Results Comment Chem’s electric vehicle (EV) battery business to W8.4tr, applying an EV/EBITDA of 10x to our 2020F EBITDA. Our valuation is still roughly half the estimated value July 20, 2017 (W16tr) of Chinese battery maker CATL (unlisted). Below, we explain our rationale for the upward revision: (Maintain) Buy First, automakers are accelerating their moves into the EV market, as: 1) mass adoption looks set to kick off with the launch of Tesla’s Model 3; 2) Europe’s Dieselgate scandal has stifled diesel car sales; and 3) EVs are increasingly Target Price (12M, W) 450,000 considered critical for automakers to grab hold of China (the world’s biggest auto market), which has announced a new energy vehicle (NEV) credit scheme. Share Price (07/19/17, W) 318,500 Second, despite the recent rise in metal prices, we expect EV production costs to Expected Return 41% decline over the medium term. Based on second-generation EVs currently available on the market, battery cells/packs account for 30% of total production costs, but other items, such as R&D spending, other powertrain costs, and other direct costs , OP (17F, Wbn) 2,898 also make up a significant portion. As part of its modular electric drive (MEB) Consensus OP (17F, Wbn) 2,730 project, Volkswagen plans to develop an integrated EV platform to lower total production costs by 30-40% from current levels.

EV battery premium to expand 1. Tesla, Dieselgate fallout, and China to spur EV market growth We expect LG Chem’s EV battery business to enjoy a higher valuation premium going forward. EV market growth is accelerating, and LG Chem is anticipated to maintain competitive advantages in the global battery market. Although many automakers have been targeting the expansion of EV sales over the medium to long term, progress has been for the most part relatively slow. Recently, however, automakers have been stepping up their efforts, expanding investments in battery production capacity based on comprehensive road maps. In our view, the pickup in activity in the EV space is being driven by the following factors: 1) Tesla is nearing the launch of the Model 3. The new EV model is projected to have a range of at least 300km per charge with a price tag of US$35,000-40,000. The company said preorders have already reached 400,000 units. Tesla is targeting sales of 500,000 units in 2018, and plans to gradually expand annual sales volume to 1mn. Until recently, EVs have accounted for only a fraction of the global auto market, with annual sales volume of 40,000- 50,000 per model. However, if the Model 3 sells well, EVs should gain increasing prominence in the overall vehicle market going forward. 2) Dieselgate has stifled diesel car sales in Europe, with the percentage of diesel cars in total new car sales falling from 52.1% in 2015 to 49.9% in 2016. Amid continuing uncertainties over diesel vehicles, automakers’ new diesel model launches and retail sales have been depressed. Recently, Daimler, which is under investigation for emissions fraud, decided to recall 3mn diesel vehicles. This unfavorable environment appears to be propelling European automakers to shift to EVs. 3) China is strengthening its push to increase the number of EVs on its roads via various measures, including subsidies. In June, the country announced an NEV credit scheme, which requires EVs and plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) to account for 8% of automakers’ sales by 2018, and 12% by 2020. The new scheme will also reward EVs with longer ranges. In light of the average range of current EVs, China’s EV sales volume is projected to increase from 400,000- 500,000 in 2017 to 800,000 in 2018 and to 1.2mn in 2020. Thus, EVs are increasingly considered critical for automakers to grab hold of China (the world’s biggest auto market). Figure 2. Share of diesel cars in new car registrations in Figure 1.

EV market to expand despite rising metal prices The uptrends in lithium and cobalt prices are the biggest causes for concern in the EV market. Lithium and cobalt mining is dominated by a small number of players, and the process of progressing from exploration to production takes several years. Accordingly, the recent surge in demand is sharply pushing up prices. However, we forecast a meaningful decline in EV production costs for the following reasons: 1) EV makers will likely achieve economies of scale in the near future, and the development of relevant technologies is progressing rapidly. For second-generation EVs currently available on the market, battery cells/packs account for 30% of total production costs; however, other items, such as R&D spending, other powertrain costs, and other direct costs, also make up a significant portion. As EVs account for only a niche part of the overall vehicle market, fixed costs still impose a heavy burden. Notably, as part of its MEB project, Volkswagen plans to develop an integrated EV platform to lower total production costs by 30-40% from current levels. Powertrain production costs are also likely to decline. For EV motors and inverters, production costs are anticipated to decrease via R&D and scale effects. In addition, EV manufacturers are making efforts to reduce required battery capacity by improving efficiency. 2) The development of third-generation batteries is now underway. In order to expand battery capacity, major battery makers, including LG Chem, have been increasing nickel content and reducing cobalt content in cathode materials, while mixing silicon with graphite for use in anode materials.

    Chapter 2 The Electric Vehicle Industry in China and India: The Role of Governments for Industry Development Martin Lockström Thomas Callarman Liu Lei 1 Introduction With the Copenhagen discussions recently taken place, it is fair to say that the acknowledgement of global warming as a potential threat to our planet has never been greater. Despite the lack of all-embracing, world-wide consensus, the trend is nevertheless going toward a situation with strengthened control and regulatory frameworks in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, the G8 countries signed a treaty to reduce average global temperature by two degrees centigrade until year 2050. However, this calls for a multilateral commitment at all levels of society – from the beginning of the supply chain starting with raw materials extractors, not ending at the final consumer, but also considering waste and disposal after consumption. Virtually all industries are affected and especially big emitters like the automotive industry. Countries like China and India are here not exceptions, as they have both proclaimed far-reaching measures to address the global warming issue. Interestingly, whereas most Western countries have argued about pollution costs and consumer adoption, developing countries like China and India have embraced the current situation as an opportunity to turn greenhouse gas reduction into a business case and to take technological leadership in the field, focusing on the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids. Due to the threat from global warming, China, among many other nations around the world, has committed itself to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Furthermore, with increasing local pollution levels, increased traffic congestion, and also an ever-increasing demand for natural resources, has made the Chinese central government implementing new tougher measures in order to mitigate the current situation.

Y siendo el sector transportes uno de los principales emisores a nivel mundial, la reducción de la contaminación producida por este sector se presenta como un factor crucial para este fin. Es precisamente por ello que los órganos gubernamentales y administrativos están tomando medidas restrictivas a nivel mundial, y no sólo con el control del tránsito de vehículos convencionales de combustión, sino que también con la inversión en nuevas tecnologías para sustituir a este tipo de vehículos. La movilidad eléctrica ha demostrado ser una de las apuestas más exitosas de las nuevas tecnologías que han estado siendo desarrolladas, de manera que los vehículos eléctricos ya se han abierto camino en el mercado automovilístico. Y aunque solamente el 2’2% de la población de vehículos son eléctricos, esta cifra parece que continuará aumentando en los próximos años. La transición hacia una movilidad eléctrica resulta especialmente desafiante en el ámbito de vehículos de medio y alto tonelaje. Uno de los mayores retos que conlleva este cambio es minimizar el peso de las baterías, ya que, aunque sea una característica deseada para cualquier tipo de vehículo, es especialmente necesario tener baterías con altas densidades de energía para poder desplazar vehículos de elevados pesos brutos, y a la vez con un peso bajo para poder alcanzar autonomías medianamente altas.

Based on the goals and targets set forth in the Ministry of Industry and Information’s (MIIT) recently released “China Energy Efficient and New-Energy Vehicles Industrial Plan 2012-2020,” we develop a forecast of what we believe is achievable for production and sales and include a review of other market forecasts. China is planning to fund this ambitious goal with RMB115 billion (USD$18 billion). Even if China were to achieve 70% of its fleet goals by 2020 which is our central expectation, the country still will have achieved a Herculean accomplishment that will reduce the pace of GHG emissions and petroleum consumption as the country’s emerging middle class becomes increasingly urbanized and mobile. China targets a domestically manufactured electric vehicle (PHEV and EV) fleet of 500,000 vehicles by 2015; a fleet of 5 million electric vehicles by 2020 and a manufacturing infrastructure capable of producing 2 million electric vehicles per year by 2020.

  • Future International Business Strategy of Chinese Automotive Manufacturers: a Case Study on Their Overseas Operations in the Russian Market
    Annals of Business Administrative Science 9 (2010) 13–32 Online ISSN 1347-4456 Print ISSN 1347-4464 Available at www.gbrc.jp ©2010 Global Business Research Center Future International Business Strategy of Chinese Automotive Manufacturers: A Case Study on Their Overseas Operations in the Russian Market Zejian LI Abstract: Since 1955, when new China began to reconstruct its automotive industry, and for a long time after, Chinese car exports consisted mainly of commercial automobile products (chassis and finished vehicles, etc.) which were exported in small quantities by state-owned manufacturers. Since 2000, however, with the emergence of independent automobile manufacturers, the number of vehicles exported has increased rapidly, and the makeup of exports has shifted gradually from a focus on commercial vehicles to a focus on passenger vehicles. With regard to overseas expansion, manufacturers’ market access strategy has led to the rapid transition from parts trade to local knock-down manufacturing. However, despite the rapid progress of foreign expansion, problems have arisen due to insufficient risk management know-how with regard to foreign expansion on the part of independent Chinese manufacturers, and the fact that their experience acquired from domestic markets is not applicable to overseas markets. For these reasons, following a period of prosperous overseas expansion, some Chinese automobile manufacturers have been forced to withdraw from one market or have chosen to switch to another market. This entire process, from rapid prosperity
