Identifying 3 winning growth strategies; Geely up to CL-Buy, Changan (A)/GAC (H) to Buy

3 possible winning strategies for car makers

We believe Chinese auto firms with purely local

brands can (1) grow the profitability of those

brands via quality/brand image/pricing upgrades. It

is crucial to balance cost advantages while

investing more into R&D and quality, in our view.

As for those firms that derive most of their profit

from joint ventures (JVs) but also have local brand

operations, they can (2) maintain the profitability of

their JVs and grow their local brands via leveraging

the know-how of their JV partners; and/or (3) grow

their JV profitability via the introduction of more

new models, refreshing of existing models, further

localization of components, and stricter cost control.

Geely/Great Wall rank as local leaders; GAC/Changan better placed growing JVs

To identify potential industry leaders, we score

auto firms in our coverage based on several

criteria. Our results suggest that Geely/Great Wall

stand out in terms of local brand leadership.

Among the firms with substantial JV exposure,

SAIC screens as having high return on capital and

a strong balance sheet, while Guangzhou Auto

(GAC)/Changan/Brilliance appear better placed to

grow their JV profit due to strong product cycles.

3 Buy upgrades; Geely onto CL, SAIC off

We upgrade Geely to Buy, and add the stock to our

Conviction List (CL), due to its top ranking in terms

of local brand leadership, improving product

mix/ASP, and synergy with Volvo. We also upgrade

Changan (A) and GAC (H) to Buy given the strong

product cycles of their major JVs (Changan-

Ford/GAC-Honda/GAC-Toyota/GAC-Fiat) and

attractive valuation vs. peers. We take SAIC off CL

on its relatively low earnings growth vs. peers, but

stay Buy on attractive near-term valuation.

Sinotruk down to Sell; Neutral on Dongfeng/Great Wall (H)/BYD

We downgrade Sinotruk to Sell on its declining

market share and weak return outlook (consistently

at the fourth quartile). We are Neutral-rated on

Dongfeng (upgrade), Great Wall (H) (upgrade), and

BYD (downgrade). For our coverage universe, we

revise our 2013E-15E EPS on company-specific

factors, and introduce 2016E EPS. Reflecting our

estimate revisions and the roll forward of

valuation timeframe (now 2014E P/B vs. 2014E-16E

average ROE), we adjust our target prices.

Overview: Identifying local/JV leaders; Geely (onto CL), Changan (A), GAC (H) up to Buy

Identifying winning growth strategies for different types of car makers in China

In China, we identify three possible winning growth strategies for two different types of car makers. For auto firms with purely local

brands (herein referred to as ‘pure local players’), we believe they can (1) grow the profitability of their local brands via quality/brand

image/pricing upgrades. It is crucial to balance their cost advantages while investing more in R&D and quality, in our view. For auto

firms that derive most of their profit from joint ventures (JVs) but also have local brand operations (herein referred to as ‘JV

players’), we believe they can (2) maintain the profitability of their JVs and grow their local brands via leveraging the know-how of

their JV partners; and/or (3) grow their JV profitability via the introduction of more new models, refreshing of existing models,

further localization of components, and stricter cost control.

Introduction of a scorecard system to identify potential local/JV leaders

We develop a scorecard system to identify the potential local and JV leaders: (1) Among the pure local players, Geely/Great

Wall/BYD occupy the top three rankings. Nevertheless, BYD has weak return/balance sheet strength hence we believe Geely/Great

Wall could be the potential long-term local leaders. Geely enjoys the top ranking under the local brands leadership criteria mainly

due to its high score in quality, CO2 efficiency, low-cost positioning, economies of scale, and innovative patents. Great Wall has also

scored well in terms of profitability, CO2 efficiency, low-cost positioning, and economies of scale. (2) For the JV players, none of

their local brands scored well compared to the pure local players, but Changan and SAIC may be better placed for their local brands

to achieve breakeven over the next three years. (3) Among JV players, SAIC/Dongfeng are currently well positioned in terms of their

JV exposures, particularly SAIC, whose major JVs are both strong in return on capital and balance sheet strength. However, both

companies score relatively low in growth potential due to their high market share base and profitability of their major JVs.

GAC/Changan/Brilliance may be better placed to grow their JV profit as a result of strong JV product cycles.

Rolling forward P/B-ROE valuation

For most of the auto firms in our coverage, we continue to use P/B-ROE as our main valuation methodology because of its

consistently high correlation with share price movements over time (current R-square at 0.74/0.91 for A/H shares). We roll forward

our valuation from 2013E P/B vs. 2013E-15E average ROE to 2014E P/B vs. 2014E-16E average ROE as we believe investors are

starting to look at 2014 P/B and ROE when making their investment decisions. For BYD, we continue to use the SOTP valuation due

to its different business nature (covering auto assembly, handset assembly and service, electric vehicle battery, solar panel, and

others). For Changan (B), we continue to use the A-B premium methodology (unchanged at 30%) since the B-share market is

segregated from the other markets. For Weichai (A/H), we continue to use the SOTP valuation due to the public listing of its

associate company Kion in June 2013, and apply an unchanged 5% conglomerate discount based on empirical cases. We newly

apply a 12% valuation discount on SAIC and Dongfeng to reflect their relatively low growth profiles vs. peers in the next three years.

Three Buy upgrades: Geely (onto CL), Changan (A), GAC (H)

We upgrade Geely to Buy from Neutral, and add the stock to our Conviction List (CL), primarily due to its top ranking in terms of

local brand leadership, improving product mix/ASP, and synergy with Volvo. We also upgrade Changan (A) and GAC (H) to Buy

from Neutral on strong product cycles of their major JVs (Changan-Ford/GAC-Honda/GAC-Toyota/GAC-Fiat) as well as attractive

valuation vs. peers. We downgrade Sinotruk to Sell from Neutral on declining market share and weak return outlook (ROE

consistently lying at the fourth quartile). We also downgrade Dongfeng and Great Wall (H) to Neutral from Buy. We see Dongfeng as

having relatively low earnings growth, and believe Great Wall (H)’s shares have fully priced in the company’s strong profit growth,

following the recent share price rally. We upgrade BYD to Neutral from Sell on strong electric vehicle (EV) growth outlook and

favorable policy environment. We take SAIC off CL on relatively low earnings growth, but keep the stock as Buy on attractive near-

term valuation.

Exhibit 1: We adjust our target prices; upgrade Geely to Buy and add it to our Conviction List, upgrade GAC (H)/Changan (A) to Buy, downgrade Dongfeng/Great

Wall (H) to Neutral, downgrade Sinotruk to Sell, upgrade BYD to Neutral, and remove SAIC from our Conviction List but retain Buy

Identifying winning strategies for robust medium-term growth

JVs contribute majority of profits in China’s passenger car industry

The auto companies in our coverage produce about two-third of the total passenger cars sold in China, and as such we believe that

the financial summary of our coverage acts as a good proxy to the China passenger car industry. In 2012, 70% of coverage volume

and 97% of coverage profit were contributed by JVs. The local brands from JV players lost 15% of coverage profit despite 8%

volume share, while local brands from the pure local players contributed 22% coverage volume/18% coverage profit. By 2015E, we

believe JVs may still contribute bulk of the volume/profit of the industry, but with lower shares. We also estimate the volume/profit

from local brands, especially from the pure local players, to increase faster than the industry.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research 8

We see three possible winning growth strategies for two different types of car makers in China

For pure local players:

1. To grow the profitability of pure local brands

For pure local players, we believe a possible winning strategy is to grow the profitability of their pure local brands via

product/quality/brand image/pricing upgrade. Usually, pure local brands are relatively weak in quality, brand image and have to

resort to attractive pricing in order to attract customers. We believe that a potential way to success for pure local players is to

upgrade their product, quality, brand image as well as price to grow market share as well as profitability. During the process of

upgrading, we believe it is crucial to balance cost advantages while investing more into R&D/product/quality, hence we develop a

comprehensive scorecard system, analyzing eight different categories which may impact long-term competitiveness of local brands.

Based on our scorecard, we identify Geely and Great Wall as potential long-term winners among companies with purely local

brands.

For JV players:

2. To maintain profitability of JVs and to grow local brands

In our view, the first strategic approach is to maintain the profitability of JVs and to grow local brands via leveraging the know-how

learned from the JV partners. In general, the product and quality from JV players’ local brands are relatively higher than the pure

local players, but none of their local car brands are profitable so far due to the lack of low-cost positioning, low economies of scale,

and low capacity utilization. Most local brands from JV players currently are weak in EV as well. Among JV players, we believe that

Changan and SAIC may have better opportunities to achieve breakeven of their local brands in the coming three years due to their

relatively balanced positions in quality/innovation/pricing as well as scale/low-cost positioning. If Changan can improve its price/mix

and SAIC can improve its scale (especially to increase the average sales volume per platform), they could achieve higher ranking

with their local brands.

3. To grow profitability of JVs

We believe another possible winning strategy for JV players is to grow the JV profitability via introduction of more new models,

refreshing of existing models, further localization of key components, and stricter cost control. However, as products and brands of

JVs are controlled by foreign partners (Chinese partners/listcos are more or less like the financial investors of the JVs), we develop a

separated/much-simplified scorecard focusing on profitability and growth of the JVs rather than the drivers of JVs’ competitiveness

in the long run. We see SAIC/Dongfeng as well positioned currently, especially the former, which is also strong in return and

balance sheet strength. However, both companies score relatively low in growth potential. We believe that GAC/Changan/Brilliance

may be better placed to grow their JV profit due to strong product cycles.

Scorecard system highlights Geely/Great Wall as local winners, Changan/GAC JV winners

We classify auto companies with a JV structure such as SAIC//Dongfeng/Changan/GAC/Brilliance as “JV players”, and those without

such as Great Wall/Geely/BYD/FAW Car/JAC as “pure local players”. In general, JV players also have local brand operations, but

most of the volume/profit is contributed by their JV operations and their local passenger car brands are unprofitable. In contrast, the

pure local players derive substantial profit contribution from their local brands.

In order to make apple-to-apple comparisons, our scorecard consists of four different parts to identify the local and JV winners in

our coverage:

1. A comprehensive local brands scorecard system with eight dimensions to identify potential long-term winner among local

brands. The local scorecard is suitable to evaluate all listcos as they all have local brands.

2. A simplified scorecard for JVs with focus on current and future financial result, since we believe that the JV players are more or

less like financial investors of their JVs: They do not own the brands, products, or core technology of the JVs and their foreign

partners control most of the intellectual property rights of the brands/products/technology. The simplified JV scorecard is

suitable to evaluate the current and future JV exposure of JV players, namely, SAIC//Dongfeng/Changan/GAC/Brilliance.

3. In order to reflect the overall return situation of the listco, we also add current and future return of capital for each listco. We

view CROCI as an important parameter to ascertain how well companies translate their competitive advantage into financial

return.

4. Long-term participants are likely to benefit from strong balance sheets, which provide a good basis for companies to invest in

new technologies, maintain product development levels, and manage the cyclical and structural challenges facing the industry.

Hence, we rank balance sheet strength of each listco.

We have the following findings from our scorecard analysis (see Exhibits 7 and 8 for details):

Among local brands, Geely/Great Wall/BYD are ranked as top 3. Nevertheless, BYD has weak return/balance sheet strength

hence we choose Geely/Great Wall as the potential long-term local winners.

Geely is ranked as No. 1 in the local brands leadership scorecard mainly due to its high score in quality, CO2 efficiency, low cost

position, economies of scale, and innovative patent.

Great Wall is very strong in profitability, CO2 efficiency, low cost position, and economies of scale.

Among JV players, we see none of their local brands score well compared to pure local players, esp. in terms of high COGS,

low utilization, and weak EV development. Changan and SAIC might have better opportunities to achieve breakeven of their

local brands in 3 years as they achieve relative high score in local brand leadership among JV players.

Among JV players, SAIC/Dongfeng are positioned well currently in their JV exposures, esp. SAIC’s major JVs are strong in both

return and Balance Sheet strength. However both companies score relatively low in growth potential due to high bases of

market share and profitability of their major JVs. GAC/Changan/Brilliance may be better placed to grow their JV profit as a result

of strong JV product cycles.

GS Scorecard Part 1: Geely, Great Wall, and BYD shine in terms of local brand leadership

We have developed a scorecard system to evaluate the local brands long-term competitiveness in order to identify the potential

long-term winner of the local brands. We quantify 8 criteria: price/mix, low cost position, economies of scales, innovation, EV and

CO2 efficiency, Quality, exports, and local brand profitability. Although none of the local brands under our coverage is a stand-out

leader in all dimensions and each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses, we believe Geely, Great Wall, and BYD are the

comparative local brand leaders. We have also taken into account our scorecard analysis for our rating changes.

1. Pricing/mix

In our view, pricing and product mix are the key building blocks with which auto companies create a competitive advantage. The

realized average price per unit sold can vary significantly across different car companies. Product mix is one key factor that explains the

differences in average prices, i.e. a small car manufacturer such as Geely or BYD will have a lower average unit price compared to that

of FAW Car, which offers a greater proportion of larger vehicles. In Exhibit 9, we plot the average realized price per unit (passenger cars

only) against a theoretical (based on a car company’s product mix) average price, in an attempt to isolate an OEM’s price premium.

Exhibit 9: FAW Car has the highest ASP while BYD sold cars at low prices

2. Low-cost position

The automotive industry is a highly competitive industry which must cope with overcapacity, productivity improvement and rising

labor costs. To determine the relative cost position of the companies across our coverage universe, we analyze three key factors: (1)

Salary of the production sites; (2) revenues per employee; (3) capacity utilization.

Exhibit 12: Geely/Great Wall/Changan/FAW Car lead the low-cost position, while GAC’s low ranking is partly due to its small scale as a late comer GS Scorecard part 1 - local brand leadership: 2. Low-cost position

Due to high costs associated with quality/product upgrade, we believe economies of scale are becoming more important. To

establish a relative scale, we focus on: (1) size in unit; (2) size in revenues; (3) the total number of cars and percentage of cars

produced from the top-three platforms.

4. Innovation

We believe the emergence of long-term industry structural winners is likely to be driven by innovation capability, which enables

companies to constantly upgrade their products and expand market share/penetration. In order to assess the innovation activities,

we compare: (1) R&D budget (absolute amount, total spending include both capitalized expenditure and expenditure charged to

P&L; (2) R&D/sales; (3) number of patents (innovative only, excluding design patents).

Exhibit 20: SAIC has the highest R&D budget, GAC’s investment is the highest in terms of R&D as % of sales, while Changan/Geely lead in number of patents

5. Electric Vehicle (EV) and CO2 efficiency

This part of our scorecard is intended to quantify company’s ability to cope with the tighter fuel consumption regulation and the

R&D capabilities in EV/battery. We use 2012 fuel consumption data announced by MIIT. However, product-mix is one key factor that

helps explain the differences in fuel consumption: i.e. a small car manufacturer such as Geely or BYD will have a lower average fuel

consumption compared with FAW Car, which offers a greater proportion of larger vehicles. Below we plot the average fuel

consumption per unit (passenger cars only) against a theoretical (based on a car company’s product mix) fuel consumption, in an

attempt to isolate an OEM’s mix effect. We also evaluation the EV sales and whether the company has developed battery/battery

management system (BMS) for EV.

6. Quality

In the process of brand/product upgrade, we believe quality improvement is the key to change the previous customer perception of

low price/low quality on local brands. Here we compared JD Power overall score (including 5 dimensions: Vehicle Dependability

Study, Initial Quality Study, APEAL Study, Sales Satisfaction Index and Customer Service Index) of the models from local brands as

well as the crash test score from CATARC (China Automotive Technology and Research Center), the official institution carrying on C-

NCAP (China New Car Assessment Program) safety test in China. We see Geely and SAIC take the lead in product quality.

7. Export

In our view, China car market growth might sustain at high single digit in the long run (CAGR at 7% from 2013E to 2020E). With the

domestic growth slowing down, we believe overseas market is becoming a more and more important growth driver for Chinese

OEMs. We believe the overseas market provides ample room for local brands to grow in the future while the opportunities remain

limited for JVs. We see Geely/Great Wall/BYD best positioned in export.

We also compare the absolute net earnings as well as net profit margin (NPM) percentage of local brands (including both current

status and future estimations) to assess their profitability. We see Great Wall and Geely as the most profitable companies among

the local peers based on their highest net earnings and NPM in both 2012 and 2015E.

GS Scorecard Part 2: JV exposure favors Changan, GAC

We apply a simplified scorecard for JVs with focus on current and future financial results, since we believe that the JV players are

more or less like financial investors to their JVs: the Chinese auto firms do not own the brands, products, or core technology of the

JVs while their foreign partners control most of the intellectual property rights on the brand/product/technology of JVs. The

simplified JV scorecard is suitable to evaluate the JVs of SAIC/Dongfeng/Changan/GAC/Brilliance. Among these JV players, we see

SAIC and Dongfeng as well positioned with their strong current volume, and profitability (NPM %), while we expect

Changan/GAC/Brilliance to enjoy higher growth in the next three years.

Exhibit 39: SAIC ranks highly in terms of current JV exposure, while Changan/GAC/Brilliance display greater growth potential

We believe Changan (A), GAC (H) may benefit from market share/NPM expansion of Changan-Ford, GZ-Honda, GZ-Fiat

In Exhibit 46, we compare international car makers’ global market share vs. China market share in 2012 and 2015E based on

IHS/Global Insight data. We observe that laggards with strong product cycles are likely to gain market share, e.g., Ford/PSA. We also

see OEMs which opened new production JVs in China are likely to obtain market share as well (e.g., Fiat and Mitsubishi). Hence, we

believe Changan (A) and GAC (H) may benefit from the rising market share of Ford, Fiat and Mitsubishi. Although Dongfeng should

benefit from PSA’s rising market share in China, we see this as having a less beneficial impact on Dongfeng, as PSA only

contributes a small portion of Dongfeng’s net profit (c.10%).

In Exhibit 47, we compare international car makers’ global NPM vs. their China JVs’ NPM in 2012 and 2015E based on company

disclosure and our estimation. We see NPM expansion for OEMs such as Changan-Ford, GZ-Honda, and GZ-Fiat, due to their strong

product cycle and increase of localization rate. We also believe current JV leaders like Shanghai-Volkswagen (SVW) and Shanghai-

GM (SGM) may largely maintain their high NPM in the coming 3 years albeit with limited upside due to a high base. We believe

Changan (A) and GAC (H) may benefit from margin expansion of Changan-Ford, GZ-Fiat and GZ-Honda.

Rolling forward valuation; Buy Geely (on CL), Changan (A), and GAC (H)

P/B-ROE remains our main methodology; rolling forward to 2014E P/B vs. 2014E-16E average ROE

We continue to use P/B-ROE as our primary valuation methodology because of its consistently high correlation with share price

movements over time (current R-square at 0.74/0.91 for A/H shares). We roll forward our valuation timeframe from 2013E P/B vs.

2013E-15E average ROE to 2014E P/B vs. 2014E-16E average ROE as we believe investors are starting to look at 2014 P/B and ROE

when making their investment decisions.

We highlight below the valuation premium/discount applied to our coverage:

We keep our 10% premium on Great Wall (A/H) to reflect its first quartile ROE/CROCI over the medium term;

We continue to apply a 10% premium on Baoxin given its first quartile ROE/CROCI;

We continue to apply a 34% premium on FAW Car in light of the planned asset injection/FAW Group listing;

We lower our premium for Brilliance to 15% (was 20%) as we believe our change to 2014E-16E ROE has already captured part of

its strong medium-term growth;

We continue to apply a 10% discount (equivalent to previous 0.1X P/B discount) on Xingda due to its small market cap of less

than US$1 bn;

We newly apply a 12% discount (in line with the historical valuation discount since January 2011) to SAIC and Dongfeng to

reflect their low growth profiles in the next three years;

We do not apply any premium/discount for the rest of our coverage.

We adopt different valuation methodologies for the following stocks:

BYD: We continue to use the SOTP valuation due to its different business nature (covering auto assembly, handset assembly

and service, electric vehicle battery, solar panel, and others);

Changan (B): We continue to use the A-B premium methodology (unchanged at 30%) since the B-share market is segregated

from other markets;

Weichai (A/H): We continue to use the SOTP valuation due to the public listing of its associate company Kion in June 2013. We

Adjusting target prices on earnings estimate revisions and roll forward of valuation timeframe

For our coverage universe, we revise our 2013E-15E EPS on company-specific factors (see Exhibit 57 for details), introduce 2016E

EPS, roll forward our valuation timeframe, and adjust our 12-month target prices accordingly. Our target price revisions are the

largest for BYD H (+171% to HK$35.17 mainly due to inclusion of electric vehicle business value into the target price) and SAIC (-20%

to Rmb16.42 primarily due to application of 12% valuation discount for slow growth). We upgrade Geely to Buy from Neutral, and

add the stock to our Conviction List (CL), primarily due to its top ranking in terms of local brand leadership, improving product

mix/ASP, and synergy with Volvo. We also upgrade Changan (A) and GAC (H) to Buy from Neutral on strong product cycles of their

major JVs (Changan-Ford/GAC-Honda/GAC-Toyota/GAC-Fiat) as well as attractive valuation vs. peers. We downgrade Sinotruk to

Sell from Neutral on declining market share and weak return outlook (ROE consistently lying at the fourth quartile). We also

downgrade Dongfeng and Great Wall (H) to Neutral from Buy. We see Dongfeng as having relatively low earnings growth, and

believe Great Wall (H)’s shares have fully priced in the company’s strong profit growth, following the recent share price rally. We

upgrade BYD to Neutral from Sell on strong electric vehicle (EV) growth outlook and favorable policy environment. We take SAIC off

CL on relatively low earnings growth, but keep the stock as Buy on attractive near-term valuation.

For the remaining companies in our coverage with no rating changes:

Brilliance (Neutral; TP HK$11.89; 0.4% upside potential): We see strong margins underpinned by improved economy of scale,

which is driven by robust Brilliance-BMW volume coming from low-end 3 series launch and the removal of supply bottleneck of

Tiexi plant. Hence, we revise up our 2013E-15E EPS by 10%-11%. We lower our premium for Brilliance to 15% (was 20%) as we

believe our change to 2014E-16E ROE has already captured part of its strong medium-term growth. We raise our 12-month P/B-

ROE based target price to HK$11.89 (prior: HK$10.02) on higher estimates and roll forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe. Our

target price is based on 2014E P/B of 2.5X, reflecting 29% average 2014E-16E ROE.

Baoxin (Buy; TP HK$8.97; 24% upside potential): We slightly adjust our 2013E EPS and revise up our 2014E/15E EPS by 1%/5%

to reflect strong volume and margin outlook of BMW. Our 10% valuation premium is unchanged (reflecting the secular growth

trend of the aftermarket business and its first quartile ROE). We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$8.97

(prior: HK$7.32) on higher estimates and roll forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe. Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of

2.6X, reflecting 29% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Zhengtong (Buy; TP HK$6.10; 22% upside potential): We fine-tune our 2013E-15E EPS by 1%-2% to reflect stronger-than-

expected BMW volume and margin. We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$6.10 (prior: HK$5.22) on higher

estimates and roll forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe. Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of 1.3X, reflecting 15%

2014E-16E average ROE.

JAC (Buy; TP Rmb11.32; 25% upside potential): In August, we revised up our 2013E-15E car market forecast to

14.1%/12.0%/10.0% (for more details, please refer to China: Automobiles: August car market up 14.2% yoy; raise 2013E growth

to 14.1% on low tier cities’ expansion, September 8, 2013) and we also expect a better recovery in the truck market boosted by

replacement demand. Within JAC’s target segments (LDT/MPV/SUV), we continue to expect further market share gain and ASP

increase driven by new versions of trucks/cars, such as new Shuailing light truck, new Refine MPV and S5 SUV. As a result, we

raise our 2013E-2015E EPS estimate revisions by 4%/10%/13%. We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to Rmb11.32

(prior: Rmb9.17) on higher estimates and roll forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe. Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of

1.9X, reflecting 20% 2014E-16E average ROE.

September 28, 2013 China: Automobiles

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research 37

FAW Car (Neutral; TP Rmb14.89; 13% upside potential): We revise up our 2013E-15E EPS by 3%-6% to factor in stronger-than-

expected SUV product cycle (X80 achieves meaningful monthly volume at c. 5K units after 2Q launch; Mazda CX-7 to be

launched in 4Q). We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to Rmb14.89 (prior: Rmb12.84) on higher estimates and roll

forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe. We keep our 34% restructuring premium on the stock. Our target price is based on

2014E P/B of 1.7X, reflecting 18% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Minth (Neutral; TP HK$12.96; 19% downside potential): In the next three years, Minth is likely to further diversify its client base

and geographical mix with its continuous effort to expand both domestic and overseas businesses. We raise our 2014E-15E EPS

by 6%/9% to factor in increasing higher-margin global sourcing orders and improving economies of scale of its overseas plants.

We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$12.96 (prior: HK$12.00) on higher estimates and roll forward of P/B-

ROE valuation timeframe. Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of 1.3X, reflecting 15% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Zhongsheng (Neutral; TP HK$10.88; 13% downside potential): Mercedes-Benz is broadening its range with new launches

addressing its previous absence from fast growing segments, especially in China: The CLA compact sedan (2013), and GLA

compact SUV (2014). In 2014, Mercedes will launch an all-new C-class, which is currently its best-selling product. We revise up

Zhongsheng’s 2014E-15E EPS by 2%/7% to factor in volume/margin improvement from its Mercedes-Benz exposure and better-

than-expected mid-to-high end new car sales margin. We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$10.88 (prior:

HK$8.64) on higher estimates and roll forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe. Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of 1.7X,

reflecting 19% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Weichai (A/H) (Neutral/ Neutral; TP Rmb21.84/HK$25.90; 13% upside potential/16% downside potential): In August, the HDT

market booked strong growth at 34.7%, indicating a better-than-expected recovery in 2H driven by the emergence of

replacement demand and a pick-up in the macro economy. On back of a stronger HDT market, we revise up our 2013E-15E EPS

by 3%- 5%. We raise our 12-month SOTP-based target price to Rmb21.84/HK$25.90 (prior: Rmb19.85/HK$23.93) on higher

estimates and introduction of EV valuation.

Harmony (Buy; TP HK$8.36; 37% upside potential): We revise down 2014E-15E by 5%/14% reflecting the luxury new store

expansion slowdown. We revise up our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$8.36 (prior: HK$8.08) as the roll forward of

P/B-ROE valuation timeframe more than offsets the estimates revision. Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of 2.3X, reflecting

26% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Xingda (Neutral; TP HK$3.52; 0.5% upside potential): We keep our 2013E-15E estimates unchanged. We slightly adjust our 12-

month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$3.52 (prior: HK$3.50) factoring in roll forward of P/B-ROE valuation timeframe and 10%

small cap valuation discount (previously 0.1X P/B discount). Our target price is based on 2014E P/B of 0.9X, reflecting 11%

2014E-16E average ROE.

Huayu (Not Rated): We fine-tune our 2013E-15E by 1%-2% on the back of strong total car market growth (we revised up the

2013E-15E total passenger car market forecast to 14.1%/12.0%/10.0% from 11.0%/8.5%/8.0% in our previous report China:

Automobiles: August car market up 14.2% yoy; raise 2013E growth to 14.1% on low tier cities’ expansion, September 8, 2013.

Geely: Up to CL-Buy on product mix/ASP expansion and synergy with Volvo

Source of opportunity

We upgrade Geely to Buy from Neutral, and add the stock to our Conviction List (CL) due to:

1. Number one ranking in our screen for long-term local leaders: Geely enjoys the best ranking in product

quality and export, and is also ranked well in low-cost positioning, economies of scale, EV and CO2

efficiency, and innovation (especially the innovative patent);

2. Increasing ASP thanks to improving mix of upgraded sedan and SUV (volume mix to increase from 2012’s

39% to 2016E’s 60%);

3. Relatively strong new product cycle: Geely EC9 mid-sized sedan and the EX8 upgraded SUV are likely to be

launched by the end of 2014;

4. Improvement of earnings quality: Government subsidy mix may decrease from 40% of PBT in 2011 to 5%

in 2016E;

5. Solid EPS growth from 2012-16E at 22% per year based on stable improvement in quality/price/product mix;

6. Synergy with Volvo: New CMA platform jointly developed with Volvo is scheduled to be unveiled in

2015E/16E, and may improve compact/small car products of Geely;

7. Asset injection potential regarding parentco’s JV with Volvo in China;

8. Initiative to streamline different brands in China (done in overseas market). Currently, Geely is selling cars

under 3 different brands, namely Gleagle, Shanghai Englon, and Emgrand, which may unnecessarily

complicate the product positioning and distribution network management. A potential way of streamlining is

to use Geely as the sole brand like what the company did in overseas markets.

Catalyst

Further expansion of ASP/product mix via increasing sales volume from more expensive/high margin SUV and

Emgrand sedan; launch of new SUV model EX8 and new mid-sized sedan EC9 by the end of 2014.

Valuation

We fine-tune our 2013E EPS, and increase our 2014E/15E EPS by 4%/10% to reflect Geely’s strong new product

cycle from 2014E. We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$5.20 (was HK$4.16) due to our revised

earnings estimates, and roll forward of valuation timeframe. Implying 31% upside potential, our target price is

based on 2014E P/B of 1.8X, reflecting 21% 2014E-16E average ROE. We believe Geely’s valuation is attractive at

7.6X 2014E P/E and 1.4X 2014E P/B. It has one of the lowest P/Es among its auto H-share peers.

Key risks

Weaker-than-expected Emgrand sedan/SUV volume/ASP growth; lower-than-expected exports.

GAC (H): Up to Buy on JV profitability turnaround

Source of opportunity

We upgrade GAC (H) to Buy from Neutral as:

1. We observe the inflection point of JV profitability appeared in 1H13, and expect the JV profit growth to

accelerate in the next two years, mainly on strong product cycles of its major JVs:

Honda: Crider volume higher than expectations; new Accord (3Q13) and Fit (1Q14) launches may

improve margins;

Toyota: New Yaris (4Q13) on EFC platform may have significant cost advantages vs. the old version; new

Corolla platform will launch in 2014E to fill the blank in the compact sedan segment;

Fiat: New model Viaggio NB in 4Q13 and potential localization of Fiat/Jeep SUV models in late 2014E or

2015E could help reduce losses;

Mitsubishi new Pajero/Outlander SUV models to be localized;

Localization of Acura models (SUV-X) in 2016E;

Potential localization of Lexus models in 2016E;

As a result, we expect the blended NPM of its JVs to rise to 8.8% in 2016E from 2012’s 5.5%.

2. We also believe GAC’s local brands may achieve significant volume growth: GS5 mid-sized SUV has been

selling well and the new compact SUV GS3 will be launched in 2015. Also, we do not see the GAC local

brands breaking even in the near term, albeit losses may be narrowed.

Catalyst

Strong product cycle of GAC-Honda/GAC-Toyota in the next one year; strong sales volume as a result of new

product launches during 2013-15; announcement of localization plan of Fiat/Jeep/Acura/Lexus.

Valuation

We increase our 2013E/2014E/15E EPS 18%/24%/48% on GAC JVs’ strong new product cycle and recovering

profitability (see Exhibit 62 for more details). We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$10.12 (was

HK$6.36) given our revised estimates, and roll forward of valuation timeframe. Implying 21% upside potential,

our target price is based on 2014E P/B of 1.4X, reflecting 16% 2014E-16E average ROE. We believe GAC (H)’s

valuation is attractive at 9.3X 2014E P/E and 1.1X 2014E P/B. It has one of the lowest P/Es among its auto H-share

peers.

Key risks

Weaker-than-expected JVs’ volume/ASP/NPM; later-than-expected localization of Jeep/Acura/Lexus.

Changan (A): Up to Buy on stronger-than-expected Ford volume/profitability

Source of opportunity

We upgrade Changan (A) to Buy from Neutral as:

1. We believe the NPM of Changan-Ford would increase significantly from 5.9% in 2012 to 12.0% in 2016E due

to:

We estimate 22%/4% volume/ASP CAGR from 2012 to 2016E;

Strong new product lineup of Ford: New Focus (2012); Kuga/Ecosport/Mondeo (2013); Edge (2014); and

Lincoln (2015) (the new Mondeo took 7% market share in the US mid-sized sedan segment vs. 3% for the

old Mondeo in China in 2012);

Production bottleneck to be removed via capacity expansion and optimization of supplychain (including

overall car and key components, such as gearbox) for Ford from 2014E;

2. We believe the Mazda CX-5 (2.4% market share in the US compact SUV segment in 2012) may help the

Changan-Mazda JV to improve the volume and profitability;

3. We expect the local brands to outperform in terms of volume (1H13 car volume up by 92% yoy) but

profitability to remain weak on low ASP and high R&D/marketing expenses. We do not see the local brands

breaking even in 3-4 years.

We maintain Neutral on Changan B.

Catalyst

Strong product cycle of Changan Ford; strong sales volume of Ford as a result of new product launches.

Valuation

We increase our 2013E/14E/15E EPS by 5%/6%/14% to reflect Changan-Ford’s strong new product cycle and

robust profitability growth. We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price for Changan (A/B) to

Rmb12.98/HK$12.65 (was Rmb10.24/HK$9.61) due to our higher estimates and roll forward of valuation

timeframe. Implying 28% upside potential, our target price for Changan (A) is based on 2014E P/B of 2.6X,

reflecting 27% 2014E-16E average ROE. We believe Changan (A)’s valuation is attractive at 8.5X 2014E P/E and

2.1X 2014E P/B. It has one of the lowest P/Es among its auto A-share peers.

Key risks

Weaker-than-expected Ford/Mazda/Suzuki JVs’ volume/ASP/NPM; lower-than-expected local branded passenger

car and minivan’s volume/profitability.

Sinotruk: Down to Sell on market share loss and sustained fourth quartile ROE

Source of opportunity

We downgrade Sinotruk to Sell from Neutral given the following reasons:

1. We believe the strong Heavy Duty Truck (HDT) market yoy growth in recent months was mainly due to a low-

base comparison, and we expect full-year HDT market growth to moderate to 15%/10%/10% in

2013E/14E/15E. We believe growth would mainly come from logistics demand (i.e., trailer/flat-bed types of

HDT), while demand for FAI/mining-related products like dumpers would remain weak;

2. Sinotruk is gradually losing its market share from over 20% in 2006-2010 to 16.6% in the first eight months of

2013, as its products are mainly FAI/mining-related dumpers. We believe it may be difficult for the company

to maintain its current market share in light of the weak demand for dumpers;

3. The sales volume of newly developed high-end products based on technologies of MAN (MANG.DE, covered

by our European auto analyst Stefan Burgstaller) is relatively low due to the lack of an aftersales network.

Although we are positive on the sales potential of its new products in light of their strong performance in

emission and fuel consumption, we believe it would take time to develop the aftersales network and sales

volume may only increase gradually in the near term;

4. We expect the company’s 2013E-16E ROE to remain in the fourth quartile (the lowest among our coverage).

Nevertheless, Sinotruk remains one of the leading HDT makers in China in terms of market share, product quality,

and aftersales. Its partnership with MAN provides the company with leading technologies in both truck and

engine.

Catalyst

Continuous market share loss in the near term; weaker-than-expected sales volume of high-end products based

on MAN technologies; weak 2H2013 results.

Valuation

Our 2013E-15E EPS are unchanged. Based on the roll forward of our valuation timeframe, we cut our 12-month

P/B-ROE based target price to HK$3.12 (was HK$3.31), implying 22% downside potential. Our target price is based

on 2014E P/B of 0.4X, reflecting 4% 2014E-16E average ROE. We believe Sinotruk’s valuation is rich at 13.5X

2014E P/E and 0.4X 2014E P/B. It has one of the highest P/Es among its auto H-share peers (excluding BYD).

Key risks

Stronger-than-expected HDT market recovery; ASP/market share gain on strict implementation of Euro IV

emission standard by end 2014E; stronger-than-expected export growth.

SAIC: Off Conviction List, but retain Buy on attractive near-term valuation

What happened

We remove SAIC from our Conviction List due to its relatively slow profit growth from its JVs among peers and

lower-than-expected local brands volume growth. We now apply a 12% valuation discount (based on SAIC’s

historical trading range) to factor in its low growth profile. Nevertheless, we retain our Buy rating on the stock

due to its well positioned JV business (which we believe should sustain the current high level of profitability) and

attractive near-term valuation.

1. SAIC has continuously garnered the highest share (more than 20%) in China’s passenger car market

since 2010;

2. Currently, its JVs with Shanghai General Motors (SGM) and Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW) are well

positioned among all JVs in China: SGM and SVW continue to be industry leaders in terms of market

share, brand image, profitability, and management capability;

3. SAIC continues to generate high returns: In 2012, the company generated 18.5% ROE which is in the

second quartile among our coverage. We expect 2015E ROE to remain at a relatively high level of 14.6%.

Since we added SAIC to our Conviction Buy list on September 16, 2011, the stock has fallen 11.0% versus 9.2%

decrease for the Shanghai-Shenzhen 300. We believe the underperformance was due to market concerns on its

low growth profile.

Current view

We believe SGM’s product cycle is likely to remain under pressure before 2015 due to under-investment in R&D

by the General Motors group during the difficult 2008-2010 period. However, we remain positive on SVW’s

product cycle throughout the next three years, and SGM’s product cycle after 2015, as the General Motors group

has resumed its R&D investment since early 2010. We also see risks of higher-than-expected brand-building and

R&D expenses for local brands, and believe it may be difficult for SAIC’s local brand ROEWE/MG to achieve

breakeven in the next three years.

Valuation

We made no adjustment to our 2013E-15E EPS. We lower our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to Rmb16.42

(was Rmb20.59) on the back of our newly applied valuation discount and roll forward of valuation timeframe. Our

target price is based on 2014E P/B of 1.3X, reflecting 14% 2014E-16E average ROE. SAIC is currently trading at

6.9X 2014E P/E and 1.0X 2014E P/B (vs. A-share peers average of 8.8X 2014E P/E).

Key risks

Lower-than-expected car volume/pricing/GPM of SGM/SVW; slower-than-expected new model launches; higher-

than-expected brand-building and R&D expenses for local brands.

Dongfeng: Downgrade to Neutral on relatively low growth profile

What happened

We downgrade Dongfeng to Neutral from Buy due to its relatively slow earnings growth during 2013E-16E

among its peers. We expect its local brands to continue making losses during the aforesaid period, offsetting the

recovery of Japanese brand volume/margin and earnings increase from its JV with Peugeot-Citroën (PSA) as a

result of its strong product cycle. We also now apply a 12% valuation discount (derived from its historical trading

range) to factor in the company’s low growth profile.

Since we added Dongfeng to our Buy list on February 24, 2012, the stock has fallen 25% versus MSCI China’s 2%

increase. We believe the underperformance was due to market concerns on its low growth profile.

Current view

We slightly raise our 2014E-15E EPS by 1%/3% reflecting normalized Japanese brands volume/margin and PSA

product cycle; Peugeot 2008 to be launched in 2014. 2013E EPS is unchanged.

Valuation

Given our newly applied valuation discount, earnings estimate revision, and roll forward of valuation timeframe,

we lower our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price to HK$11.47 (from HK$13.66). Our target price is based on

2014E P/B of 1.2X, reflecting 14% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Key risks

Stronger-/weaker-than-expected Japanese brand volume/pricing/margin.

Great Wall (H): Downgrade to Neutral on fair valuation

What happened

We downgrade Great Wall (H) to Neutral from Buy as we believe current valuations are fair and justify the strong

growth/earnings momentum in the medium term. We maintain Neutral on Great Wall (A). Great Wall’s

fundamentals stay intact as we believe the company should sustain its strong volume growth momentum as well

as GPM expansion in the medium term, driven by:

A strong product pipeline (H2/H8 to be launched by the end of FY13);

Product mix improvement (SUV % in volume mix increased to 52% in 1H13 vs. 43% in 1H12);

Increasing economies of scale (26% volume growth in 2013E; we expect the company to achieve total

volume of 782,123 units, including pick-ups).

Since we added Great Wall (H) to our Buy list on April 17, 2013, the stock has risen 47.8% vs. 3.1% of the Hang

Seng China Ent. Index.

Current view

Our 2013E-15E earnings are unchanged as we have already factored in the upcoming new product launches and

higher-than-peers volume/margin expansion.

Valuation

We raise our 12-month P/B-ROE based target price for Great Wall (A/H) to Rmb40.41/HK$46.01 (from

Rmb35.86/41.03) mainly on the roll forward of our valuation timeframe. Our Great Wall (A/H) target prices are

based on 2014E P/B of 3.2X/2.8X, reflecting 32% 2014E-16E average ROE.

Key risks

Stronger-/weaker-than-expected total car market demand; higher-/lower-than-expected SUV competition;

stronger/weaker exports; stronger/weaker volume/price/GPM of upcoming new models.

BYD: Upgrade to Neutral on improved visibility of EV growth/policy

What happened

We upgrade BYD to Neutral from Sell on supportive new electric vehicle (EV) policy in China. The Ministry of

Finance (MoF) has recently announced a new 2013-2015 EV policy, which we believe is likely to boost BYD’s EV

sales as the policy stipulates that the EV sales in each showcase city should include at least 30% of EVs not locally

produced. See page 59 for our detailed analysis.

Since we added BYD to our Sell list on May 19, 2010, the stock has fallen 41.3% vs. MSCI China’s 9.4% rise.

Current view

In our view, BYD should be a major beneficiary of the new policy as it is the EV leader, and we believe the

company would be able to manage a national sales coverage in China. Reflecting a brighter outlook for EV/HEV

models, we revise up our 2014E-15E EPS by 4%/5%, respectively. We keep our 2013E EPS unchanged.

Valuation

We raise our 12-month SOTP-based target price to HK$35.17 (was HK$13.00) factoring in: 1) newly added EV

valuation; 2) higher earnings estimates for its handset business; and 3) roll forward of the P/B-ROE valuation

timeframe, which slightly increases the valuation for BYD’s traditional internal combustion engine car business.

Please see Exhibits 67 and 68 for details.

Key risks

Higher/lower car volume/margin and EV sales.

We upgrade BYD to Neutral on supportive new EV policy in China; previous headwind of local

protectionism may ease

On September 17, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) published a new 2013-2015 electric vehicle (EV) policy with the following details: (1)

Geographically, new EV promotion will focus on select big cities (especially mega cities) in areas suffering from severe air pollution.

(2) Each select megacity or focus area should cumulatively achieve over 10k units sales volume of new energy car, while the target

is over 5k units for other cities/areas by 2015. (3) Subsidy scope includes EV and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) but not HEV

(hybrid electric vehicle). (4) The MoF will provide special funding to support construction of EV charging infrastructure in the

showcase cities.

We believe the new EV support policy may help ease local protectionism in EV promotion due to:

Subsidy from the central government will be directly granted to car makers vs. previously to local government first and

subsequently to car makers. We believe this could reduce the chance that local governments favor local car makers in the

granting of subsidy;

The new policy stipulates that the EV sales in each showcase city should include at least 30% EVs not locally produced.

Please refer to our previous report, China: Automobiles: New EV policy to ease local protectionism; target more realistic, dated

September 18, 2013.

In light of favorable EV policy environment and improved visibility of future EV sales, we take into account HK$18.58

valuation of BYD’s EV business in our derivation of its SOTP-based 12-month target price

Previously, we did not include any valuation for the EV segment as we thought the EV valuation should be fully captured by

valuation of its battery and internal combustion engine (ICE) car business; we believed EV would proliferate naturally to all car

makers, once the battery technology has matured. Nevertheless, the recent strong share price performance of Tesla (TSLA, covered

by our US auto analyst Patrick Archambault; Neutral; US$182.33) indicates that the market is still evaluating the know-how and

future growth of EV (Tesla does not produce battery cell by itself). So, we take into account a DCF-based HK$18.58 valuation in our

derivation of BYD’s SOTP-based 12-month target price, based on following major assumptions: 1) BYD will capture 20% EV market

share in China by 2020E; 2) BYD’s EV business will deliver 12% OPM by 2020E.

Exhibit 68: BYD’s TP change is mainly attributed to addition of EV valuation

Disclosure Appendix

Reg AC

We, Yipeng Yang and Yuqian Ding, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect our personal views about the subject company or companies and its or their securities.

We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report.

Investment Profile

The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth,

returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage

universe.

The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:

Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI,

ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month

volatility adjusted for dividends.

Quantum

Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make

comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.

GS SUSTAIN

GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list includes leaders our analysis shows to be well

positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on

quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the

environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).
