Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Overweight Co Ltd 3898.HK, 3898 HK 1H16 result inline; LT outlook remains positive, market Price: HK$48.10 ▼ Price Target: HK$79.00 share to rise as launch of China standard MU in sight Previous: HK$82.00

 1H16 result masked by one-offs, excluding which core profit up 16% Y/Y China met expectations. ZZCRRC reported inline 1H16 results. Headline profit rose Infrastructure & Industrial 5% Y/Y. Excluding one-offs (bad debt provisions of Rmb121MM vs Rmb56MM AC oya, and FX losses of Rmb61MM on a weaker Sterling vs a gain of Rmb20MM Karen Li, CFA (852) 2800-8589 oya), recurring profit rose 16% Y/Y achieving 43% of FY16 JPMe, in line with [email protected] historical seasonality. We have adjusted our model to reflect the latest guidance Bloomberg JPMA KLI and earlier-than-guided IGBT asset acquisition, trimming FY16/17E by 3%/4%. Calvin C Wong, CFA Maintain OW, revising our Dec-16 DCF-based PT to HK$79. (852) 2800 8502  CRC’s procurement was light YTD; sales by segment in 1H varied widely, [email protected] reflecting backlog at end-2015. ZZCRRC’s overall revenue rose 14% Y/Y in Boyong Liu, CFA 1H, driven by EMUs and RTVs (up 19% and 39% Y/Y each), while (852) 2800-8577 locomotives fell by 13% Y/Y during the period. Such negative sales mix [email protected] changes resulted in lower GPM as locomotive parts are of highest profitability. Hanli Fan  CRC announced in late-2Q a locomotive order of 195 units and 5 EMU (852) 2800-8566 trainsets (see Table 1), expected to be delivered in 2H, with ZZCRRC [email protected] capturing over half of these orders. Against this year’s expected procurement J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited of 700 locomotives and 450 EMU trainsets, there is admittedly limited visibility Price Performance in terms of when the remaining orders will be released, partly because of the 60 imminent launch of China standard MUs. We retain forecasts for the MU and RTV segment for this year, given the backlog on hand, while lowering our 50 HK$ locomotive revenue forecast. 40  Acquisition of IGBT assets was ahead of plan, to result in savings from 30 2H16: The IGBT plant was transferred from the parent for Rmb1.1B in Jul’16, Aug-15 Nov-15 Feb-16 May-16 Aug-16 ahead of prior guidance (and our prior assumption) of end-2016. We expect this 3898.HK share price (HK$) to result in annual savings of cRmb50M (IGBT lease expense was Rmb209M HSCEI (rebased) YTD 1m 3m 12m vs depreciation of cRmb160MM p.a.). Abs 6.8% 15.2% 17.2% -11.7%  Maintain OW as longer-term outlook remains positive; launch of China Rel 7.4% 8.3% 0.7% -2.0% standard MU in sight. China’s HSR ridership rose 29% Y/Y in 1H16 while approvals for new rail projects have been picking up; furthermore, URT investment in China continues to expand as the PPP model gained more popularity. We also take note of the recent launch of the first China Standard MU for test operations, which indicates launch of commercial production within the short term, upon which we expect ZZCRRC to raise its overall share in China’s train-borne electric component supply.

Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks

Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co Ltd (Overweight; Price Target: HK$79.00) Investment Thesis The FY15 earnings beat validated our above-consensus bullish stance. We continue to like ZZCSR fundamentally for its possession of IP, capability of continued innovation, and proven track record of returns and cash generation. We believe the IGBT and recently acquired deep sea robot businesses, although they may result in short-term pain, could emerge as meaningful growth engines once they take off in the longer term. Furthermore, we see additional upside to our estimates, as we have yet to factor in the planned asset injection of ZZCSR-equivalent assets from CNR, as well as a doubling of sales for MU and locomotive parts (by way of penetration into CNR), both of which we believe are bound to happen, but without a set timetable.

Valuation Our Dec-16 PT of HK$79 corresponds to a target P/E of 24.8x/22.3x on FY16E/17E. Our PT is based on our DCF valuation, using the following assumptions:  WACC = 10.4%, driven by:  Cost of equity = 12.0% (Rf: 5.0%, Equity risk premium: 7.0%, Company beta: 1.0x);  Cost of debt = 3.8% (pretax cost of debt: 5.0%, tax rate: 25%);  Target gearing = 20%, terminal growth rate = 5%.

Risks to Rating and Price Target Key downside risks to our rating and price target include: 1) an unexpected slowdown in the government’s investment in railway development; 2) major fluctuations in raw material costs; 3) potential capacity constraints; and 4) larger- than-expected costs (including operating and leasing expenses) associated with the IGBT operation.

The chart(s) show J.P. Morgan's continuing coverage of the stocks; the current analysts may or may not have covered it over the entire period. J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe: J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
