What will Evergrande need to do to sustain its business?

Achieve presales target of Rmb750bn. Evergrande recorded c.Rmb357bn of contracted

sales in 1H21, which represented 2% y-o-y growth and locked in 48% of its Rmb750bn

presales target. YTD cash collection stood at Rmb321bn, which translates to a cash

collection of 90% for 1H21. Maintaining normal presales growth is a must to maintain

cash flow.

Obtain recognition from regulators regarding its deleverage plan

Convince domestic banks to provide loans as usual. In the wake of Guangfa Development

Bank’s legal action against one of Evergrande’s projects in Yixing, Jiangsu, whether other

banks will keep their credit lines and loans open to the developer for normal refinancing

purposes came under the spotlight. Having said that, Evergrande and Guangfa

Development Bank reached a settlement four days after the news was released. We

therefore believe banks will keep a close eye on the developer’s situation, but will likely

maintain their credit lines normal for Evergrande at this moment.

Introduce partners to jointly develop Shenzhen redevelopment projects in the near term.

Evergrande claims that the projects they have been confirmed as the operating entity

with exclusive rights in Shenzhen will in total derive c.Rmb1.6trillion worth of saleable

resources, or saleable GFA of over 30m sm, in our estimation. Of which, 21

redevelopment projects that we identified have already been included into Shenzhen’s

redevelopment plan, which amounts to c.10m sm in GFA or c.Rmb650bn in saleable

resources.

Assuming Evergrande to dispose of 50% of its current stake at Rmb10k/sm (Shenzhen’s

AV stood at c.Rmb15k/sm in 2020), that would potentially translate to c.Rmb50bn-

c.Rmb150bn of cash that can be made available to the company. Assuming the above

takes place, along with the inclusion of its existing cash on hand of Rmb181bn,

Evergrande may potentially cover majority of its outstanding short-term debt as at Dec-20

of c.Rmb335bn. This could offer signs of comfort and confidence to various of

Evergrande’s debt holders and equity investors.

What are the other factors that can come into play and help?

Items 1-2 are relatively practical and within reach to execute; items 3-6 may

only be carried out once market concerns are addressed.

1. Disposal of interests in its development projects at hand

2. Distribute Evergrande New Energy Vehicle’s (708 HK) shares in species to existing

shareholders. This will strip away outstanding debts that are currently sitting under

708 HK’s level. Meanwhile, as new energy vehicle segment is supported by the

central government, and 708.HK is well on its way to start production and put its cars

for sale in 2022, 708 HK should be able to operate independently on its own in the

absence of 3333 HK’s support.

3. Spin-off of its Evergrande Spring business, which is currently being studied by the

company to raise a few million in USD.

4. Spin-off of its tourism-related property business, Evergrande Fairyland. According to

the company, this business has 27 tourism-related projects at hand to-date.

5. Spin-off of Fangchebao platform, which is currently the second largest in the

property agency sector in China with 38.7k agents, 43k stores and a Gross

Transaction Value (GTV) of Rmb2tr, as compared to Beike’s (BEKE US) 49.3k agents,

47k stores, GTV of Rmb3.5tr.

Will disposal of its existing assets enough to fully service its outstanding

debts?

Yes.

Taking into account 1) the company’s total outstanding debt as at Dec-20; 2) unpaid land

premium as at Dec-20 that is pending settlement; and 3) outstanding commercial papers,

we estimate that the company should be able to fully service the above items so long as it

is able to secure an average disposal discount of no more than 32% to their book value

during its asset liquidation. This excludes the above discussed redevelopment projects

that are currently held by Evergrande.

What would happen if Evergrande struggles to fulfil its debt obligations?

Painful, but not too big to fail.

Banks: controllable, and there should be no systemic risk.

Loan alone accounts for 0.1% of banks’ total loans. According to WIND, the amount of

Rmb loans that were drawn down by Evergrande has come down to Rmb183bn in FY20,

or 2-year CAGR of -18%, after regulators asked China's banks to limit their lending

exposures to property developers since mid-2019. Evergrande’ bank loans actually only

represented 0.1% of total bank loans.

Adding up trust, debt accounts for 0.3% of banks’ total loans. However, trust is in fact the

major funding source for Evergrande – which are often funded by wealth management

products (WMPs) and acts as a channel financing through banks to Evergrande that is off-

balance sheet for banks and should be considered as well. Under our calculation, the

balance of Evergrande’s trusts stood at around Rmb324bn in FY20, down 11% y-o-y,

accounting for 1.6% of total trusts in China. Assuming all the funding for trusts came from

WMPs, this would represent for 1.3% of total WMPs. Together with Rmb loans, the total

debt exposure for banks would be Rmb507bn, or 0.3% of total loans.

Limited impact on banks’ NPL. Based on our scenario analysis, this would lead to around

1-4% increase in NPLs or 2-7bps increase in the NPL ratio, based on 20-40% secured

assets’ haircut.

Outstanding mortgages under Evergrande’s guarantee were Rmb550bn as at end-2020

based on the company’s FY20 annual report. If Evergrande cannot deliver the units and

buyers do not serve their mortgages. This accounts for c.1.5% of banks’ total outstanding

mortgages as of 1Q21.

While the market instinctively thinks that Chinese banks will likely take a potentially

unbearable hit under the hypothetical scenario that Evergrande falls, our estimations

show that on a sector-wise perspective, the hit would be a painful, but not an intolerable

one.

banks loan quota to developers

Downstream: “Special” and “First” class general contractors may take a

meaningful hit.

According to the WIND database, there are c. 71.4k general contractors in the

construction sector in 2019, c.8.2k of which are graded either as “Special” or “First” class.

Being one of the largest developers in China, we believe Evergrande would typically deal

with “Special” and “First” class contractors, and thus our analysis on the impact have

primarily focused on general contractors in these two classes.

In 2019, total revenue of the two classes of general contractors stood at c.Rmb148tr, with

a thin average net profit margin of 3% or Rmb4,703bn in consideration terms. As at Dec-

19, the two subsegments hired a total of 28.5m employees and reported an aggregate

outstanding trade receivables of Rmb35,730bn.

Given the relatively small-scale involved even for individual “Special” and “First” class

general contractors, we believe those that are involved in Evergrande’s development

projects may take a meaningful hit under the scenario where Evergrande become unable

to meet its financial obligations.

Evergrande has 798 projects by end-2020, which may mean that it has interacted with

slightly less than 10% of “Special” and “First” class contractors in 2019 – assuming that it

appoints a separate general contractor for every one of their projects. Under the

assumption that all of the company’s outstanding c.Rmb206bn of commercial papers are

issued solely for the purpose of settling its payments to general contractors, this would

represent c.1% of the average total revenue for the general contractors that has involved

in Evergrande’s projects, c.45% of these contractor’s average net profit and c.6% of their

outstanding receivables.

Buyers: Approximately 600k families may be waiting for project delivery. Evergrande has

c.Rmb500bn of sold but undelivered property sales as at end-Dec-20. Assuming that

Evergrande struggles to service its financial obligations and its presold projects pending

delivery are left incomplete, we estimate this could affect around 600k families that have

already paid their down-payments upfront and drawn out mortgages from banks. Upon

increased odds of project incompletion, value of these yet-to-deliver projects may

potentially come into question, and this may affect the LTV ratios of these families’

mortgages, together with their unchanged obligations to continue servicing their

mortgages.

Employees: Evergrande had a total of c.123,276 employees as at end-Dec-20, of which

42,244 works for property management, and 8,796 for new energy vehicles. We believe

the jobs of these employees would depend highly upon Evergrande’s ability to overcome

its financial difficulties. Additionally, we estimate there could be c.2.7m of employees in

the general contractor segment that are related to Evergrande’s project constructions as

well.

Local government. Evergrande paid c.Rmb39.5bn tax on average during the past five

years and spent an average of Rmb160bn on land acquisition each year.

Industry Focus

Page 11

Will the government step in?

The government has always been there.

Evergrande is already under regulators’ close watch. We believe the central government is

fully aware of the company’s high debt levels and has been providing “window guidance”

to urge the developer to deleverage in a controlled manner. The recent news report

relating to a conversation that took place between the Financial Stability and

Development Committee (FSDC, a regulatory body directly under the State Council) and

Chairman Hui in Jun-21 would be a clear case in point, with the FSDC urging Evergrande

to consider the introduction of strategic investors as a potential way for deleveraging, and

the company’s overall debt reduction progress must be well controlled to ensure minimal

shocks for the economy.

Regulators incline to let Evergrande handle its own debt issues. In our view, we believe

regulators would prefer to stay on the sidelines and let Evergrande to resolve its issues,

so long as it has a complete and viable deleveraging plan. Nevertheless, we expect the

regulators to offer a hand and help to coordinate with various parties whenever

necessarily.

Page 12: China / Hong Kong Industry Focus China Property and

Industry Focus

China Property and Banking Sector

Page 12

What is the impact on the sector in the longer term?

Contractors may demand better payment terms. Contractors are likely to be more

sceptical about developers’ repayment capability and thus, they will likely demand for

more guarantees/more favourable payment terms over construction payments going

forward.

Banks and regulators to impose stricter control over presales proceeds. In the attempt to

minimise risks from development loans, we expect banks and regulators to turn more

stringent over developers’ project level presales proceeds and ensure those money stays

in the escrow account.

Reduce operational leverage and capital efficiency. With general contractors asking for

better payment terms, and banks/regulators to become more stringent over the

utilisation of presales proceeds, we believe developers’ operational leverage and capital

efficiency will be reduced.

Landbank size to shrink... With lower operating leverage and capital efficiency, smaller

developers or highly levered companies may have to scale back and reduce their

landbank.

…with land market to see higher land supply through M&A; calmness likely to persist in

the land market. In anticipation of developers having to trim their landbanks, the land

market will see more opportunities on the M&A front for a prolonged period of time.

Meanwhile, developers will also be less capable of acquiring land at their current pace. All

in all, the land market will likely see some coolness, with land cost to moderate.

Ongoing property price controls. The above phenomenon will likely translate into a slower

development pace and therefore, lower housing supply. Thus, despite expected

moderation in land costs, property prices will likely continue to see upward pressure on

the back of supply shortage. Policy tightness will likely be maintained.

Industry Focus

China Property and Banking Sector

Page 13

How should we position ourselves for this phenomenon?

We believe scenario 2 would be the likely outcome.

Capable to repay debt given sufficient time. As indicated from our analysis above, we

believe Evergrande should be well capable of servicing its outstanding debts in full via

asset disposals, raise funds via spin-off of various of its businesses, and to sell existing

stakes in their subsidiaries. However, this is based on the assumption that Evergrande

has sufficient time to execute the above processes.

Scenario 1 may require policy relaxations to smooth out possible short-term shocks,

which may unwind years of deleveraging effort from regulators. In our view, if scenario 1

happens – i.e. Evergrande has insufficient time to carry out our outlined measures and

fails to fully service its debt obligations – this will likely create a short-term shock to the

market that will likely impact the overall supply chain of the property development sector

and thus meaningfully affect other developers as well. Consequently, the central

government may have to ease out existing restrictive policies and initiate a round of

loosening to smooth out such impact. As a result. their overall goal to stablise property

prices and control risks (i.e. deleveraging) could be delayed.

Scenario 2 would likely land with manageable impact and at a more orderly and

controlled manner. Meanwhile, in scenario 2 where we assume Evergrande will be given

sufficient time to carry out necessary asset disposals and funding raise to repay its debts,

things will likely be maintained largely status quo and end in a more orderly and

controlled manner. Banks will likely remain largely normal in terms of their grant of

property loans to Evergrande and will slowly trim their exposures. Meanwhile,

Evergrande’s disposal of assets and trimming of scale will create limited impact to the

banking system and to the overall supply chain in the property development sector. We

therefore take the view that Scenario 2 will be the likely outcome.

Should Scenario 1 occur, we believe the best picks would be to stay with high beta names

like Sunac (1918 HK) and Zhongliang (2772 HK), both of which have seen their share price

and bond price affected by recent Evergrande’s news flow. Under scenario 2, things will

remain status quo and we believe large developers with stronger balance sheet and

execution capabilities will continue to extend their advantages from their financial

strength (thus better land accessibility under concentrated land supply reform) and stand

out from the crowd – thus our pick of CR Land (1109 HK),Longfor (960 HK) and Country

Garden (2007 HK).

Potential outcomes upon different scenarios and stock picks

Source: DBS HK

Scenar io 1: Shock to the market Scenar io 2: Gradual asset disposal and funding rais ing

Developers with an offshore credit rating below BB may take a hard hit in their bond prices Onshore and offshore bond market sentiment would progressively recover

Offshore refinancing window for most developers would be shut, except for SOEs and Investment Graded

developersIssuance window of the offshore bond market may reopen

More developers will offer price promotion to accelerate presales and cash collection Larger yield differentiation between investment grade and high yield developers

Some of developers will suspend land acquisitionsRegulators to have more flexibility on policy setting, with controls over the physical market to remain in place,

but liquidity to ease up on a progressive and controlled manner

More developers with weaker credit profiles may head into similar situation as Evergrande with banks to take

a more cautious attitude

A likely U-turn in policies and the government will inject liquidity to the system. Sector returns to pre-liquidity

squeeze situation

Highly levered companies will likely witness a strong rebound in share price

Scenar io 1: Shock to the market Scenar io 2: Gradual asset disposal and funding rais ing

Upon injection of liquidity into the system, the move would unwind the years of efforts that regulators made

over property sector deleveragingAll developers will continue to deleverage as per existing guidance of regulators

How about banks?

CMSB (1988 HK, SELL) has the highest loan balance from Evergrande, yet Jiangxi Bank

(1916 HK, NR) and Shengjing Bank (2066 HK, NA) have higher exposure in terms of loan

portfolio. Approximated with available 1H20 debt breakdown data on the company, more

than 80 banks and 120 non-bank financial institutions were Evergrande’ debtors – of

which concentration risks from each bank/FIs are actually low. Under China banks, CMSB

had the highest loan balance of Rmb29.3bn with Evergrande, followed by ABC of

Rmb24.2bn and Zheshang Bank of Rmb11.3bn, accounting for only 0.8%, 0.2% and 1% of

each bank’s total loans. Among the top 10 banks, Jianxi Bank and Shengjing Bank had the

higher loan exposure of 3.7% and 1.5%. Loan exposure for city/rural banks was higher

than JS/SOE banks given the former’s loan balance was much smaller than the latter’s,

while city/rural banks tend to support more POEs and local government projects which

were hit the most after shadow banking activities (channel financing) were constrained by

PBOC.

Among city banks, Shengjing Bank fuelled market concerns, as Evergrande controls 36%

of stake and it was fined for illegally financing real estate projects in May 2021. Different

from other China banks lowering developer loan in the portfolio, Shengjing Bank’s

exposure to developer loans surged 98% y-o-y to Rmb70bn in FY20, or 13% of its total

loans, much higher than the industry average of 9%, while its non-performing developer

loan ratio was 2.03% in FY20, up from 1.91% in FY19. However, the ratio was diluted from

rising developer loans as the absolute amount of non-performing developer loans

dramatically increased 110% y-o-y to Rmb1.4bn in FY20. As Evergrande is the biggest

shareholder, Shengjing Bank likely also do channel financing to trusts to compensate for

the liquidity squeeze from other banks. Thus, we believe Shengjing Bank could be the

hardest hit among China banks.
