Autos Go East

Key Drivers• Relative value in Japan and Korea. With OEM valuations

likely to be range-bound in the US and Europe, relative value in the global auto sector may now be in Asian OE names, though currency may be a near-term concern. Among the Japanese OEs, we like Toyota and Honda (above peer profitability, growth potential). In Korea, we prefer Hyundai (improving US sales momentum). Among US OEs, while we prefer GM ($25.59, OW) to F, the stock’s recent run-up suggests that better value may be in transplant-exposed suppliers such as JCI. And in Europe, we like DCX (restructuring potential).

• In the US, the auto sector could now be range-bound as high interest rates/gas prices may weaken near-term new vehicle demand, in our view. With last year’s employee pricing programs likely to make Y/Y sales comparisons particularly hard for the Big Three, we think supplier names with high transplant exposure and non-auto revenues, such as Overweight-rated JCI look better placed to outperform the sector. Among the OEs, we prefer GM to Ford as a strengthening product cycle and structural cost savings should help earnings recover in 2007E, though the stock’s recent run-up and the Delphi strike risk may limit further near-term gains.

• With the recent correction, European auto stocks look fairly valued. Generally, robust balance sheets suggest limited scope for incremental de-leveraging, indicating that upside to equity value will be contingent on multiple expansion (i.e., positive earnings momentum)—arguing against a near-term upward re-rating, in our view. We continue to prefer Overweight-rated DCX (restructuring potential, attractive valuation) to Underweight-rated BMW and Neutral-rated Renault (€81.50).

• We reiterate our bullish stance on the Japanese OEM sector based on three elements: (1) a 5%+ CAGR for the five-year volume growth; (2) sustainable top industry profitability, with EBIT margins of 8-9%; and (3) a period of improving returns on invested capital. We rate Toyota Motor and Honda Motor Overweight, but remain cautious on Nissan Motor (¥1,232) with a Neutral.

• In Korea, OEM valuations are beginning to look more attractive with the recent correction. While near-term risks remain due to the strong Won and investigation on the Hyundai Motor Group, we believe valuations are now undemanding vis-à-vis global peers and the market, especially in light of improving US sales momentum.

Our Non-Consensus Views

• US. UAW concessions, capacity/headcount reductions and the upcoming ’07 union contract negotiations could help the Detroit 3 achieve a much more competitive cost structure by the end of 2007. In the case of GM, we think cost savings and positive mix (from the T900 launch) may see ’07 earnings (ex-GMAC) north of US$4 (consensus: US$3.31).

• Japan. Higher-than-expected capital expenditure may hold back operating margins slightly, and we think that the improvement in Japanese OEMs’ ROIC may be delayed marginally, remaining flat at 14.0% in FY06E. However, we envisage an improvement in returns led by Toyota, and expect an upswing to 14.7% in FY07E, and an all-time high of 15.2% in FY08E. The global OEMs face a tough environment with cost inflation, product mix deterioration, and price deflation. Nonetheless, we believe Japanese OEMs hold superior fundamentals backed up by high secular growth and high ability to control structural costs.

Autos: Top Picks Company Key Financials Rationale and Catalysts Johnson Controls Inc. Rating: Overweight Fiscal EPS (Local): Year-end Sept. Ticker: JCI US / JCI 2005 2006E 2007E 4.49 5.35 7.00 Exchange: NYSE P/E (Calendar) Price (Local): US$81.69 2006E 2007EMkt Cap (US$): 15.9 bn 15.3 11.7 Analyst: Himanshu Patel, CFA EV/EBITDA (Calendar) Phone: (1-212) 622-3906 2006E 2007EEmail: himanshu.patel @jpmorgan.com 9.6 7.7

• We see potential for 15-20% upside to FY07/08 consensus estimates for JCI, driven by non-auto growth and York acquisition synergies.

• Four key areas of potential earnings upside: (1) the likelihood for JCI’s building efficiency business to grow sales at roughly 10%/year through 2008 (2x global HVAC industry growth); (2) high operating leverage at York; (3) what we sense is a growing likelihood of a sweeping European-style restructuring in JCI’s NAFTA interiors business; and (4) the potential for roughly 130bps of cumulative margin expansion from 2006-08E in power solutions stemming purely from the Delphi business integration and European restructuring (and possibly another 200bps from operating leverage).

• Valuing the stock at 14.3x on our new FY07E EPS estimate yields a May 2007 US$100 price target. Risks: Interior margins may take longer to recover if commodity costs rise higher than expected. On 2007 consensus estimates, pure auto suppliers with high transplant exposure (BWA/ALV) trade at 12.2x, while HVAC comps trade at 15-17x, suggesting a mid-14x P/E for JCI is reasonable.

• With the stock trading around €40 again and the SOP benefiting from further reductions in employee liabilities (worth €2.5 per share) and having crystallized value in non-core associates (EADS), we believe DaimlerChrysler offers an attractive value opportunity. We believe management’s focus on operating performance combined with a strong balance sheet will help close the disconnect between the company's earnings based valuation and asset values. In the near term, however, we expect the stock to suffer from limited visibility on the truck cycle and the US volume/pricing environment.

• In our view, upside to the stock could be driven by: (1) a change of focus towards operating excellence versus value destructive strategies; (2) corporate activity focusing on further streamlining the portfolio (EADS, Smart, etc.); and (3) improved communication with financial investors. We maintain our Overweight rating with a six-month DCF/SOP-based target price of €52. Currency, limited visibility on the truck cycle and economic weakness are potential risks to target price.

• Under its Global Master Plan (GMP) Phase II (2006–10), Toyota’s sales are likely to reach 9 million vehicles in 2008 (about 10 million groupwide) and approach 10 million (11 million groupwide) by 2010. The company has implemented a strategic shift, trying to improve its cost efficiency. Whereas Toyota fell into a growth trap in the latter half of Phase I of the plan, it is reconciling strong top-line growth with improvement in returns in Phase II.

• Whereas GMP Phase I was characterized by a positive turnaround in returns for Toyota’s affiliates and suppliers rather than that of Toyota, Phase II is characterized by an improvement in Toyota’s core earnings growth potential. Toyota Motor should start to see a full-scale improvement in returns, outstripping the increase at affiliated companies and suppliers.

• We maintain our Overweight rating and our DCF-based share price target through June 2007 of ¥8,200 (FY06E P/E of 19x based on JPMorgan estimates). Risks to target price are changes in exchange rates and the economy.

Autos: Top Picks (cont’d) Company Key Financials Rationale and Catalysts Honda Motor Rating: Overweight Fiscal EPS (Local): Year-end Mar.

• Honda’s new long-term strategy aims to accelerate global growth in fuel-efficient cars. Our own view has been that the emergence of a concrete long-term strategy would catalyze a revaluation of the stock.

• Honda plans to build three new factories in Japan and North America, looking to tap into soaring global demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Honda has its sights on automobile sales of at least 4.5 million units in 2010, giving annualized growth of 5.8%.

• New factories potentially offer around a 20% improvement in productivity compared with existing sites, and a substantial step forward in Honda’s productivity-based competitive position looks possible in our view. We believe the emergence of a strategic push to supply diesel engines and small hybrid cars to the U.S. represents an extremely important development.

• Overweight maintained. We leave our DCF-based share price target through April 2007 unchanged at ¥9,000 (P/E of 14x based on our FY06 estimates). Risks to our target price include yen appreciation, crude oil prices and other changes in the economy.

• We believe sales momentum will accelerate in the US market towards 2H06 on the back of new models such as the recently launched Azera, Accent and the upcoming SUV Santa Fe.

• Near-term risks remain with the appreciation of the Won and the ongoing group investigation. However, we believe forex exposure will be mitigated in the longer term with the company’s strategy of diversifying its production base.

• Valuations remain undemanding vis-à-vis global peers and the underlying Korean market. We maintain our Overweight rating and a June 2007 price target of W100,000 (11.8x adjusted FY06E EPS). Risks to our price target are: (1) stronger-than-expected appreciation of the Won, and (2) delays in the recovery of the domestic market.

Autos: Stocks to Underweight Company Key Financials Rationale and Catalysts Ford Motor Company Rating: Underweight Fiscal EPS (Local): Year-end Dec.

• We think Ford’s top line will be challenged over the next 12-18 months as its highest margin vehicles (large SUVs and large pick-ups) come under pressure from what is likely to be a well-received GM T900 platform.

• We are reluctant to count on a surge in the rate of cost savings given Way Forward’s vagueness and Forward’s past tendency for product cost overruns. Targeted capacity savings seem meaningful but will likely take 2-3 years to become significant; procurement savings targets seem optimistic (~3%/year versus 1.5% at GM’s); and other savings areas (e.g., engineering) remain unquantified.

• Western mass-market automotive OEM stocks typically trade between 6.5x and 12x P/E on forward EPS, with the high end of this P/E range usually being realized during widely believed earnings troughs, and the low end being realized during widely believed earnings peaks. We think Ford’s 2006E and 2007E earnings are representative of mid-product cycle earnings, suggesting the stock should be valued toward the middle of this historical forward P/E range. Currently, the stock is trading at 11.3x 2007E EPS, and looks overvalued.

BMW AG Rating: Underweight Fiscal EPS (Local): Year-end Dec. Ticker: BMW GR / BMWG.DE 2005 2006E 2007E 3.33 3.92 3.85 Exchange: Frankfurt Electronic P/E (Calendar) Price (Local): €37.73 2006E 2007EMkt Cap (US$): 32.0 bn 9.6 9.8 Analyst: Philippe Houchois EV/EBITDA (Calendar) Phone: (44-20) 7325-8106 2006E 2007EEmail: [email protected] 4.2 3.8

• Yesterday’s story to be delivered tomorrow? Having failed to deliver an earnings leverage while enjoying superior growth and currency protection, BMW looks set to join the ranks of cost-driven OEMs as growth rates normalize. The decline in capital returns highlights both excess currency benefits in the past and lower incremental returns as recent investment projects failed to deliver the optimal mix/volume returns of the 3 series. We do not see 2006 as a turning point for earnings momentum.

• With stable earnings and superior cash flows, BMW increasingly looks like a utility company, without the cash distribution and higher risks associated with the car industry’s demands on price (remember, Mercedes was also an “annuity”). Recent performance is again valuing the company as a growth stock on EV multiples. For a stock whose cash generation credentials are well established, we believe BMW’ share price performance requires more earnings momentum than what it currently offers.

• We remain Underweight with a DCF/multiples based six-month target price of €40. Risks to target price are a better-than-anticipated strength in the US market and favourable currency.
