Woon-mok Baek Likely to overcome all negatives +822-768-4158 [email protected] Raise TP to W320,000; Maintain Buy call This year, Nongshim has been plagued with three negatives: price-fixing fines, legal disputes over the distribution rights of Samdasoo (bottled water), and food safety issues. As a result, the company’s shares have fared poorly relative to its peers, despite the potential for a 3Q earnings improvement, and an expansion in ramen market share. We expect the company’s shares to find momentum in 2013 from a normalization of its ramen market share, potential price hikes, expectations for new Buy (Maintain) products in Korea and China, and new business expansion. We maintain our Buy call Target Price (12M, W) 320,000 and raise our target price to W320,000 (from W290,000). We derived our target Share Price (11/12/12, W) 255,000 price by applying a target P/E of 15x (up from 13.5x; on reflection of the recent rise Expected Return (%) 25.5 in the food and beverage industry’s average P/E) to the average of 2013 and 2014 EPS Growth (12F, %) TTR Market EPS Growth (12F, %) 9.0 EPS estimates. P/E (12F, x) - Market P/E (12F, x) 10.2 3Q review: Exceeded the consensus KOSPI 1,900.87 Nongshim’s 3Q operating results exceeded the market consensus, with revenues of Market Cap (Wbn) 1,551 W500.7bn (up 3.9% YoY), an operating profit of W34.7bn (up 25.4% YoY), and a net Shares Outstanding (mn) 6 profit of W31.2bn (up 60.1% YoY). Ramen revenues expanded 10.3% YoY. And Avg Trading Volume (60D, '000) 38 Avg Trading Value (60D, Wbn) 10 revenues related to cup-ramen products jumped 16.2% YoY, boosted by an increase Dividend Yield (12F, %) 1.6 in single-person households. The company’s ramen market share continued to pick Free Float (%) 49.6 up QoQ, reaching 67.4% in 3Q (from 63.7%). The company’s ramen market share 52-Week Low (W) 203,000 had plunged from 68.1% in 3Q11 to 62.7% in 4Q11 and 62.2% in 1Q12. Beverage 52-Week High (W) 296,000 revenues deteriorated 9.6% YoY due to a supply disruption of Samdasoo. Overseas Beta (12M, Daily Rate of Return) 0.27 revenues grew 18.6% YoY thanks to robust revenues in China (up 24.8% YoY) and Price Return Volatility (12M Daily, %, SD) 2.6 Foreign Ownership (%) 27.1 the US (up 20.9% YoY). Major Shareholder(s) Growth in operating profit and net profit was largely attributable to a reduction in Nongshim Holdings et al. (45.49%) fixed costs (resulting from ramen sales volume growth) and an increase in F/X- NPS (6.12%) related gains caused by won appreciation. Price Performance Noteworthy items for 2013: Ramen market share; Introduction of Baeksansoo (%) 1M 6M 12M Absolute -10.5 4.9 16.7 We anticipate Nongshim’s market share to expand to 70% in 2013, driven by the Relative -8.9 5.8 14.7 revival of red-soup ramen products, a re-launch of Shin Ramyun Black, launches of Key Business premium products priced at above W1,000 (e.g., Jinjja Jinjja, Gochu Bibimmyun, Nongshim is the top ramen and confectionery company in Korea. Shin Ramyun Black), and the renewals of some products. Although some sales of the company’s products could contract due to food safety issues, we believe sales should recover in three~six months. In addition, given that Samyang Foods and Paldo raised their ramen prices in August, we believe that Nongshim could also raise its ramen prices next year.

Company November 13, 2012 Given that the company’s contract regarding its Samdasoo distribution rights expires in mid-December, Nongshim plans to introduce its Chinese bottled water brand Baeksansoo in Korea around December. Nongshim’s Chinese subsidiary built a factory for Baeksansoo in the Jilin Province in 2010, the capacity of which is equivalent to 50% of the Samdasoo capacity. We project the discontinuation of Nongshim’s Samdasoo business will lead to a W190bn decline in revenues (9% of overall revenues) and a W12bn drop in operating profit (11% of overall operating profit) in 2013 for Nongshim. However, it should be noted that Nongshim has distribution networks for its bottled water business. We advise investors to keep tabs on whether the Baeksansoo brand can smoothly penetrate the domestic market. Table 1.
