Vontobel Luxury Goods Shop Conclusion: Swiss watch industry outlook/Richemont or Swatch Group

– Swiss watch industry with rebound in 2021 (+18% after -22% in 2020) – top brands still have waiting lists (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet) – all outperformers in 2020 – low-/mid-end will continue to underperform – smartwatch competition – Mainland China as main growth driver given that travelling will not be back in 2021 yet – Hainan new top spot – Swiss watch exports in 2021 CHF 20.0 bn – still well below 2019 level (CHF 21.7 bn)

– Smartwatch makers outperforming traditional watch producers – Apple watch and Garmin with strong double-digit growth in 2020 – traditional watch producers like Swatch Group, Fossil, Citizen with decline of >-30% in 2020 – Apple watch in units already 2.5x of total Swiss watch industry

– Leather goods and jewelry with much stronger performance than watches in 2020 – Hermès (-6%) and LVMH Fashion & Leather Goods (-3%) far ahead of other luxury goods companies – Richemont’s Jewellery Maisons also only -9% in 2020 – Swiss watch exports -22% in 2020, but Swatch Group even -32% but also Richemont Specialist Watches -26% – EBIT margin with largest decline at Swatch Group, whereas leather goods/jewelry brands still high

– Richemont: Buy (PT CHF 100) / Swatch Group: Hold (PT CHF 270) – Richemont with jewelry as core (41% of sales; watches 32%); Jewellery Maisons is a high-margin business; Specialist Watchmakers with turnaround, Online Distribution/Other brands more limited losses – Swatch Group with 90% in watches; 20% in low-/mid-end - impacted by smartwatch; further store closures likely
