TALKING POINTS

CHART OF THE DAY— BANKS TO BENEFIT FROM EASIER REGULATION

Analyst: John Mulcahy, Managing Director

Consensus on China is generally agreed that banks and property developers should be avoided

as the country navigates through a challenging period in its development, with activity slowing in

certain areas and the government embarked on a major reform programme. The logic is sound,

in that key drivers of growth have been government investment in infrastructure, real estate

development and the credit to support these activities and associated consumption. But, we

believe the government will in due course act to support the property market, by removing or

relaxing some home purchase restrictions. On the banks, the key concern is that non-performing

loans (NPLs) understate the real credit risk, but we believe the growth in write-offs and transfers

should be recognized as a way of taking action on non-performing loans without moving the

needle on the NPL ratio. Between 2012 and 2013, as our table (Fig. 2) on the next page shows,

write-offs and transfers were increased substantially, e.g. ICBC [1398.HK] wrote off RMB16.5bn

in 2013 vs. RMB7.5bn in 2012, and China Minsheng’s write-offs surged to RMB11.4bn from

RMB2.3bn. In effect, the write-offs and transfers increase Minsheng’s NPL ratio to 1.57% from

0.85%. The point is that the banks are not in denial about the balance sheet risk, but have taken

actions other than increasing NPL to reflect the risk. In an effort to boost bank liquidity, the

regulators have allowed a select group of banks to reduce their reserve requirement ratio (RRR),

which will have a marginal impact on earnings. A more effective measure, as shown in the table

in Fig.1, is to relax the cap on loan-deposit ratio (LDR). We believe there is an opportunity to

accumulate banks ahead of a recovery in overall conditions.

BANKING CHANGES—SOME DETAILS

China Minsheng’s successful pitch to the regulator for a relaxation in its reserve requirement ratio (RRR) will help to boost its lending capacity,

but a 0.50% cut will have a marginal impact on earnings, as net interest income would increase by 0.4% for a full year assuming net interest

margin of 2.9%

Bigger impact from an increase in loan-deposit ratio, as our sensitivity to a 1 percentage point increase shows in fig. 1 below.

A slowdown in mortgage lending will have an effect on banks (see loan breakdown in figure 4 on next page.

Tonly Electronics Holdings Limited (Tonly) is an ODM manufacturer with strong R&D capability in audio-visual consumer electronics. OTT set-top boxes will be a major growth driver in FY14, more than offsetting weakness in other video products. A deepening cooperation with TCL Corp will also broaden Tony’s product portfolio. Valuation appears to be attractive, trading at a trailing PER of 7.2x and 4.1% dividend yield for FY13.

Set-top boxes driving new growth. Tonly Electronics Holding Limited (Tonly) is an ODM manufacturer of consumer audio-visual electronics, including DVD/BD (blue-ray disc) player, home theatre system, wireless speaker, and Over-The-Top (OTT) set-top boxes. Driven by increasing demand for internet-based media content and new orders from customers including Alibaba and Huawei, growth in OTT set-top boxes is rising briskly, up 46 times for the first five months of FY14, and contributing 20% of total revenue from 0.6% in 5MFY13 (excluding revenue from other businesses). Tonly’s audio products segment, which targets a wide base of international brands (e.g. SONY, Harman), also generated strong revenue growth (+35% YoY in 5M14), helped by robust demand for wireless speakers and soundbars. These new growth drivers will more than compensate for the shrinkage in the traditional DVD/BD player market (-10% YoY in FY13; +5% YoY in 5M14).

Deepening co-operation with TCL. Tonly has an independent and strong R&D team, allowing it to address the fast-changing and competitive landscape in consumer electronics. The management indicates that the successful record has encouraged parent company TCL Corp, to make more use of Tonly’s R&D strength for new product development. In the absence of any meaningful sales exposure to TCL-branded products, we believe TCL will eventually become a key customer in future when the parent penetrates further into audio-visual electronics.

Upside on Conservative Sales Guidance. Though we have not assigned a rating on the stock, the sharp growth in OTT set-top boxes and new audio products, leads us to believe the company’s guidance of 10% top-line growth is conservative. Gross profit margin will start improving from 2Q14 after plant relocation is completed and when it reaches full capacity utilisation. In addition, the acquisition of Tonly’s key subsidiary by way of new shares issued to minorities, who are mainly key management and staff, is a positive move further aligning the interests of management and shareholders. Valuation appears attractive, trading at a trailing PER of 7.3x with a 4.1% dividend yield for FY13. Our preliminary projection indicates that if Tonly generates revenue of HK$5.5bn in FY14e (+20.9% YoY, which has a high likelihood in our opinion), net profit could be HK$162m if FY13 net profit margin (NPM%) is assumed — equating to a forward PER of 6x FY14e.

Company background. Spun off by TCL Multimedia (1070.HK) in August 2013 by way of a share distribution, Tonly Electronics is a

vertically-integrated audio-visual ODM manufacturer with strong R&D capability. Most customers are international brands, including

SONY, Panasonic, LG, Toshiba, Philips, Harman, etc. Tonly recently received new orders from customers including Alibaba and

Huawei, mainly for Over-The-Top (OTT) set-top boxes. Production is mainly based in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, near other TCL

production plants.

Strong R&D capability. Tonly invests substantially in research and development (R&D), with the R&D cost:sales ratio in 2013 at

3.6%, significantly higher than the industry average. The R&D team comprises more than 600 staff.

Financials. Revenue from audio-visual products (excluding other businesses) rose 44.9% YoY to HK$1,763bn for the first five

months of FY2014. Sales of OTT set-top boxes was the key growth driver, up 4,620% YoY%, followed by audio products sales, up

35.1% YoY. Revenue from DVD/BD players rose 5.1% YoY for 5M14, although sales in the month of May declined by 14.7% YoY.

Sales from other businesses includes Advanced Broadcasting System—Satellite (ABS-s) products, other parts & components, and

R&D income. ABS-s products are satellite receivers, authorized by central government to a designated list of qualified manufacturers

and suppliers. Segment revenue decreased significantly YoY in 1Q14, mainly because orders placed for ABS-s in a tender the

company won in 2013 will be mainly fulfilled in Q2 and Q3 2014.

Key Risks. 1) Faster than expected shrinkage in DVD/BD player market is faster than expected; 2) Shorter-than-expected product

life cycle in OTT set-top box; 3) Uncertainty on GPM on OTT set-top box as software has a more important role in general; 4)

Earnings reliability due to its short listing track record.
