TravelSky is a global distribution system (GDS) company for the aviation industry (similar to UnionPay in Price/price relative banking). As an SOE, TravelSky dominates the airline ticket distribution market 20 (>95% market share), based on the transaction fees it charges customers 16 (China Southern Air, China Eastern Air and other airlines), which are also its shareholders (39% collective stake). We view TravelSky as a proxy for China’s 12 growing tourism market, especially in outbound travel (96% in 2015). 8 4 Sustainable and defensive long-term growth player, almost a monopoly 12/14 6/15 12/15 6/16 With 13 Chinese commercial airlines holding a combined stake of 38.84% and TravelSky Tech supported by the Chinese government, and a 95.5% share of the market HANG SENG INDEX (Rebased) TravelSky almost has a monopoly. Its top-line revenue is therefore closely Performance (%) 1m 3m 12m correlated to the growth of Chinese travel. We forecast a 17% CAGR and 10-13% CAGR in 2016-2020 for China outbound and domestic travel, Absolute -6.8 -15.9 17.8 respectively. We believe structural growth in Chinese outbound travel will HANG SENG INDEX -0.6 -4.5 2.1 serve as a long-term driver for Travel Sky. As a leveraged business, we expect Source: Deutsche Bank further expansion of its operating margin and ROE. We forecast 2017/2018 earnings growth at 30.5% /15% YoY. A strong cash cow – we expect cash yield to exceed 7% from 2018 onwards Until 2015, TravelSky demonstrated a strong cash flow generating capability and maintained a net cash position. However, in 2016 and 2017, the company is to record a jump in capex with the construction of its new operation center in Beijing. We forecast that cash flow will normalize in 2018, with a stable cash yield of more than 7%. Valuation and risks Given TravelSky’s cash-generating ability, we value it based on DCF (9.8% WACC and 3% TGR). The shares currently trade at 21.1x/16.2x 2016/17E earnings which we view as attractive given that 1) its average tourism/GDS peers trade at 22x in 2017E, and 2) we project 23% 2016-18 earnings CAGR. Key downside risks: 1) private data leakage; 2) a slowdown in the China tourism industry; 3) threats from other transportation modes; and 4) RMB depreciation.
