Swiss Watchmakers the Ideas Engine Series Showcases Credit Suisse’S Unique Insights and Investment Ideas 14 March 2017 Europe/Switzerland Equity Research Luxury Goods Swiss Watchmakers The Ideas Engine series showcases Credit Suisse’s unique insights and investment ideas. SECTOR REVIEW Research Analysts Guillaume Gauvillé, CFA What could go wrong in the 'rebound' 44 207 888 0321 [email protected] ■ We reiterate our cautious view on the Swiss watch industry. While the Catherine Tillson market seems to be expecting a bounce in watch manufacturing in 2017, 44 20 7888 6052 [email protected] we believe the industry continues to face cyclical and structural challenges. Exports are off to a slow start (down 6% in January), the KOF Swiss Economic Institute survey suggests overcapacity persists and we think manufacturers have to tackle not only inventory issues but also a negative ASP development in the medium term. ■ New analysis provides new perspectives on the Swiss watch industry. Our proprietary work features (a) a detailed analysis of product launches for five brands covering half the Swiss watch industry which indicates that the average selling price at the retail level is likely to be negative, (b) a benchmark analysis with sell-in data which suggests the negative mix for the industry is yet to come at the wholesale level, (c) an excess inventory model which concludes that the stock overbuild in Asia remains but is marginally improving whilst the stock situation in the US has worsened, and (d) an innovative way to assess the inventory glut by brand using the average discount on watches when purchased on the grey market. ■ We rate both Swatch Group and Richemont Underperform. With >70% of watch sales being wholesale and >55% of sales coming from Asia, we are most negative on Swatch Group, chiefly on fundamentals. Most of its brands show more problematic inventory issues than peers. Our Swatch target price increases to SFr260 from SFr220 due to the time value factor and the rerating of luxury peers. We remain cautious on Richemont largely on valuation grounds. Our target price is unchanged at SFr65.

Swiss Watchmakers 3 14 March 2017 What could go wrong in the 'rebound' Setting the scene The general assumption appears to be that the downturn for the Swiss watch industry is over. The share prices for both Swatch Group and Richemont have rallied c.30% in the last six months and outperformed their peers by 5%. The sell side has turned slightly less bearish on these two names with now 9/30 analysts having a sell rating on Swatch Group and only 3/34 for Richemont. A growing number of clients we have met in the last few months have also turned less pessimistic on the Swiss watch industry. We believe five factors have contributed towards this regained optimism leading to the share price rally: 1. Improving sales for Richemont in the three months to December. Richemont reported 3Q17 group organic sales up +5% improving from -12% in 1H17. While jewellery was the main driver of the improvement, watch retail sales seemed to be rising and wholesale had become less negative. 2. A recovery in Chinese demand for luxury goods. There are now tangible signs that Chinese demand is picking up after 3-4 years of relative austerity marked by the anti- corruption campaign initiated in 2013 and the stock market correction in 2015. If we take Louis Vuitton as a proxy for Chinese luxury goods demand, LVMH reported that sales in the Chinese market grew strong double digits in 2H16 after being flat in 1H and rising mid-single digits in 2013, 2014 and 2015. 3. Bullish 2017 guidance from Swatch Group. During the 2016 results conference call, CEO Nick Hayek stated that he expects organic sales to grow +7% to +10%

  • Press Release
    Press release Zurich/Geneva, 17 April 2019 Global Powers of Luxury Goods: Swiss luxury companies are taking the digital path to accelerate growth • The sales of the world’s Top 100 luxury goods companies grew by 11% and generated aggregated revenues of USD 247 billion in fiscal year 2017 • Richemont, Swatch Group and Rolex remain in the top league of Deloitte’s Global Powers of Luxury Goods ranking • All Swiss companies in the Top 100 returned to growth in FY2017, but with only 8% increase, they lagged behind the whole market for the third time in a row • Luxury goods companies are making significant investments in digital marketing and the use of social media to engage their customers Despite the recent slowdown of economic growth in major markets including China, the Eurozone and the US, the luxury goods market looks positive. In FY2017, the world’s Top 100 luxury goods companies generated aggregated revenues of USD 247 billion, representing composite sales growth of 10.8%, according to Deloitte’s 2019 edition of Global Powers of Luxury Goods. For comparison, in FY2016 sales were USD 217 billion and annual sales growth was as low as 1.0%. Three-fourth of the companies (76%) reported growth in their luxury sales in FY2017, with nearly half of these recording double-digit year-on-year growth. Switzerland and Hong Kong prevail in the luxury watches sector Looking at product sectors, clothing and footwear dominated again in FY2017, with a total of 38 companies. The multiple luxury goods sector represented the largest sales share (30.8%), narrowly followed by jewellery and watches (29.6%).
