The significant increase was mainly due to all-round improvement in profitability and having benefited from weak 3Q18 results. Key takeaways are as follows: Revenue increased by 18.0% yoy to RMB21,202 million. The increase was mainly due to an increase in sales volume of 12.4% yoy and a 7.4% yoy increase in ASP. The improvement mainly came from the F7 and the increase in sales proportion towards its coupe version (F7x) and the China 6 emission standard version has helped price increase. 28 October 2019 Gross margin was 18.5% in 3Q19, the best in the last five quarters. The better production efficiency also helped on improving gross margin, up by 3.5 ppts yoy and 2.6 ppts qoq. Operating margin was up by 6.4 ppts yoy to 7.5%in 3Q19. Besides the strong gross profit, the Company also benefited from stronger cost control, with selling and administrative expense ratio reduced yoy by 1.3 ppts and 1.8 ppts, respectively. R&D expense was RMB557 million, and the management revealed that capitalization rate was about 50% to 60%; we expect this to stay in this range in the future. The strong improvement has also been boosted by a significantly weak 3Q18, which was hurt by a number of events including the weakening auto market which started around Jul. 2018, huge price discount, low utilization and unusually large increase in marketing expense due to the FIFA World Cup. All of the abovementioned dragged margins to the lowest level since its listing. Net profit per car increased significantly, up by 440.0% yoy and 71.2% qoq to RMB6,073.] 2 r a M t h g i R _ e l b a T [ Table-1: Summary of 1-3Q19 Financial Results of GWM (in RMB mn, except per share item) 1-3Q19 1-3Q18 yoy 3Q19 3Q18 2Q19 yoy QoQ Key financials Total Revenue 62,578 66,645 (6.1%) 21,202 17,966 18,749 18.0% 13.1% Operating income 61,500 65,513 (6.1%) 21,183 17,555 18,231 20.7% 16.2% Interest income 1,006 1,111 (9.4%) 18 400 501 (95.5%) (96.4%) Fee and commission income 71 21 246.0% 0 12 17 (100.0%) (100.0%) Cost of sales 52,082 53,674 (3.0%) 17,269 15,259 15,750 13.2% 9.6% Gross profit 10,496 12,971 (19.1%) 3,933 2,707 2,999 45.3% 31.1% Business tax and surcharges 2,056 2,567 (19.9%) 719 780 619 (7.8%) 16.2% Selling expenses 2,351 3,050 (22.9%) 881 972 427 (9.4%) 106.5% Administrative expenses 1,294 1,385 (6.6%) 453 708 437 (36.0%) 3.7% R&D expenses 1,474 1,170 26.0% 557 328 492 69.9% 13.2% Finance expenses / (income) 108 603 (82.1%) -135 150 145 (190.5%) (193.3%) Operating profit 4,884 5,406 (9.7%) 1,601 209 983 664.8% 62.8% (02333 HK) Profit before taxation 3,585 4,707 (23.8%) 1,680 273 928 515.8% 81.0% Income tax expenses 633 748 (15.4%) 280 31 170 815.8% 64.5% Net profits 2,951 3,959 (25.4%) 1,400 242 758 478.0% 84.7% Net profit attributable to parent 2,917 3,927 (25.7%) 1,400 231 744 506.8% 88.2% 长城汽车 Basic EPS (RMB) 0.32 0.43 (25.7%) 0.15 0.03 0.08 506.8% 88.2% Operating Data Sales volume(unit) 724,113 676,688 7.0% 230,575 205,173 209,696 12.4% 10.0% Domestic Sales 673,719 640,670 5.2% 210,486 201,959 192,006 4.2% 9.6% Export 50,394 36,018 39.9% 20,089 12,597 17,690 59.5% 13.6% ASP(RMB) 84,931.98 96,814.30 (12.3%) 91,872.18 85,563.18 86,942.41 7.4% 5.7% Margins and ratios (%) ppt ppt ppt Gross profit margin(%) 16.8% 19.5% (2.7) 18.5% 15.1% 16.0% 3.5 2.6 Great Wall Motor OP Margin(%) 7.8% 8.1% (0.3) 7.5% 1.2% 5.2% 6.4 2.3 Net profit margin(%) 4.7% 5.9% (1.2) 6.6% 1.3% 4.0% 5.3 2.6 Selling costs to revenue 3.8% 4.6% (0.8) 4.2% 5.4% 2.3% (1.3) 1.9 Admin costs to revenue 2.1% 2.1% (0.0) 2.1% 3.9% 2.3% (1.8) (0.2) Effective tax rate 17.7% 15.9% 1.8 16.6% 11.2% 18.3% 5.5 (1.7) Source: the Company, Guotai Junan International.
