Consumer preferences in the beverage market moving towards “healthy”. Our channel checks in Beijing suggest a trend that consumers are more focused on health and wellness and that is driving bottled water sales in place of flavored beverages. Coca Cola (who partners with China Foods in China) highlighted that the Chinese consumer is increasingly looking for functional benefits (“every Chinese teenage knows wolfberries are good for their eyes”). Beverage companies are also adding more varieties to their product portfolio. This is a focus for China Huiyuan Juiceas it adds more chilled products, sports drinks and plant based beverages.

Dairy companies focus on milk beverages; discussion on imported UHT milk. Mengniu notes milk beverages sales continue to be at decent levels which we think is likely to add pressure to Want Want. On competition posed by imported milk Mengniu notes the base is low for imported UHT milk (< 1% of total demand). They agree that current online prices are lower than milk deluxe but believe this is not sustainable.

Food retail traffic remains lackluster. Hypermarket operators have been negatively impacted by weak macro environment as well as increasing competition. Wumart noted that current trading remains challenging. Wumart is looking to reduce prices to attract customer traffic as they believe that a third of their products are priced higher than competitors. We believe lackluster SSSG trends for the industry is negative for Sun Art (UW).

Merchandising capability a differentiator for department stores. One consistent message from panel discussions was that consumers are evolving rapidly and looking for newness. Lane Crawford is able to respond faster to changes in consumer preferences through it’s “buyer’s” model.

Section 1: Key Takeaways

Consumer preferences in the beverage market moving towards “healthy”

Our channel checks in Beijing suggest a trend that consumers are more focused on health and wellness and that is driving bottled water sales in place of flavored beverages. Interestingly, Coca Cola (which partners with China Foods in China) does highlight that the Chinese consumer is increasingly looking for functional benefits (“every Chinese teenage knows wolfberries are good for their eyes”). Beverage companies are also increasingly adding more varieties to their product portfolio to compete. This is a focus for China Huiyuan Juice in FY14 as the company adds more chilled products, sports/ functional drinks and plant based beverages.

Dairy companies continue to focus on milk beverages; discussion on imported UHT milk.

Mengniu management notes that milk beverages sales continue to be at decent levels which we think is likely to add pressure to Want Want.

In response to competition posed by imported milk Mengniu management notes that the base is very low for imported UHT milk, less than 1% of total demand. Growth for imported milk last year was 90% y/y, which could be due to raw milk crunch in China and growth this year has slowed down to 40%. Management does not believe imported UHT milk is taking share from Deluxe given the lack of investment in brands (vs. Deluxe which has brand recognition). They agree that current online prices are lower than milk deluxe but believe this is not sustainable.

Food retail traffic remains lackluster (-ve for Sun Art)

Wumart notes current trading remains challenging. SSSG has slowed over recent quarters although the company has experienced some slight improvement in 2Q14.

Wumart will look to reduce prices to attract customer traffic. The company believes that one third of Wumart's products are currently higher than competitors. The

company is implementing a low price project. After the implementation of this project ~20% of product prices will be higher than competitors. Company will look to continuously reduce prices going forward.

We believe lackluster SSSG trends for the industry is negative for Sun Art (UW). Inthe medium term, we also note the following:

We worry about sales productivity. We see the following threats to store sales productivity: (1) Threat posed by the growth of e-commerce; (2) Emerging threat posed by growth of alternative formats. In turn, this creates risk for operating de-leverage and margins over the longer term. We note many hypermarket operators in more developed markets are faced with this issue.

Downside risk to rental income growth over longer term. Rental income represents a material proportion of Sun Art's earnings and has been growing strongly over recent years. Retail gallery space within an average Sun Art complex is ~4,000-6,000 sqm (v total shopping space ~15,000sqm). We see downside risk to rental revenue growth for the following reasons: (1) Hypermarkets generally have seen a consistent reduction in traffic over recent years as consumers are making fewer daily shopping trips; (2) Ongoing threats to hypermarket foot traffic posed by the growth of e-commerce.

Unique merchandising core as Chinese consumer looks for “newness”; Opportunity for department stores in M&A.

One consistent message from consumer track panel discussions was that Chinese consumers are evolving quickly and constantly looking for newness. We note Lane Crawford (a “buyers model” department store player which owns the entire inventory within its store) has been able to respond to the demand for newness as 50% of their products are unique to the market. Drawing from years of merchandising experience in HK, they see strong sales at both their psychical and online stores in China. We believe building strong merchandising capability requires experience and it will take time for Chinese department stores to catch up though a few players such as Golden Eagle are working in the right direction.

On M&A, panelists noted that over the past 10 years, department stores in China have performed relatively strongly. Hence, shareholders did not have a strong urge to engage in M&A discussions. However, with business becoming increasingly difficult over the past couple of years, this may be a catalyst in leading department

E-commerce redefining distribution

Yihaodian, a relatively newcomer to Chinese e-commerce space has now 4m SKUs (v 3k SKUs 6 years ago) and recorded US$2bn in sales in FY13. It notes three key trends in e-commerce: (1) E-commerce is moving towards mobile. By end of last year, mobile users reached 500m with PC users 590m; (2) Penetration of e-commerce in China is going deeper into lower tier cities. This is due to convenience of online payment, improvement of logistics and mobile penetration. (3) Platform strategy – large e-commerce players are launching marketplace and leverages their traffic and leverages their e-commerce solutions. Yihaodian doesn’t see a ceiling for e-commerce penetration and think the future will be one where the boundary of online and offline will be blurred.

Lane Crawford noted that when you have customers who are engaged both online and offline, you then see the “real magic of retail” occurring, with increased spending, engagement and loyalty.

At the Sanford C. Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference, Kimberly-Clark(covered by J.P. Morgan Analyst John Faucher) management noted that the e-commerce platform in China is an efficient way for the company to grow given dense population in the cities, the lower cost of delivery, high internet and smart phone penetration. The company believes they are probably ahead in their online share versus their offline share because of the complexity of the China retail market.

JPM Views

We have written a report detailing our views about the longer term threats posed by the growth of e-commerce for Chinese retailers in September 2013 (see Reviewing Longer Term Threats Posed by the Growth of E-Commerce dated 24 September 2013).

As we noted in that report, e-commerce has gained significant market share over recent years in China. By our calculations, e-commerce penetration has reached ~10% of total retail sales in China in 4Q13.

Figure 6: China E-Commerce Sales as % Corresponding Retail Sales

Source: J.P. Morgan estimates, iResearch, National Bureau of Statistics. Numerator = total e-commerce sales as estimated by

iResearch. Denominator = Total China retail sales less automobile and petroleum sales for designated entities as estimated by

National Bureau of Statistics. The NBS data only disclose sales by category for designated entities. Designated entities are defined

as those entities with annual sales over RMB5m or with over 60 employees.

As a comparison, e-commerce penetration in the US is estimated to be ~10-11% (after excluding categories where a majority of product sold is done offline such as food, petrol, motor vehicles). However, it has taken China ~4 years to move from ~2% e-commerce penetration to ~10% e-commerce penetration, something that took the US over 10 years to achieve.

Figure 7: US E-Commerce Sales as % Corresponding Retail Sales

Source: US Census Bureau. E-commerce sales as a proportion of total retail sales excluding sales for the following categories: Motor

Vehicle & Parts Dealers, Food & Beverage Stores, Gasoline Stores, Food Services & Drinking Places and Fuel Dealers.

From a sales perspective, we believe e-commerce growth is having a negative impact on offline retail in two ways:

Reducing sales by taking volumes away from physical retail.

Reducing sales by placing pricing pressure on physical retail given online prices are generally lower than offline prices.

E-commerce penetration has grown significantly in certain categories such as apparel & footwear and consumer electronics. We estimate that e-commerce penetration is ~25-30% for both categories.

Moreover, we note that e-commerce penetration in some food and household goods categories has also increased dramatically over recent years. For example, industry sources indicate that e-commerce penetration for infant baby formula and diapers has

reached ~20%. We believe international brands will utilize this channel to grow their presence in China given the complexities of the traditional distribution market.

ML Chinese travel spending growth potential substantial but is tourist flow sustainable?

In 2013, the Mainland Chinese traveller spent US$130.6bn globally (+28% yoy). Currently there are c40mn of valid passports in China which represents c5% penetration vs. 37% in the US and 75% in Japan.

Tourists curbs are harmful for HK which has a heavy dependence on the ML Chinese in its retail sector. Instead of discouraging demand, the panel believes focus should be on making sure the supply side infrastructure keeps up with the traffic volume growth. Countries that are pro-active in solving supply side infrastructure issues will be able to capture a disproportionate share of traveler spending.

Section 2: Industry Panel Discussion Takeaways

CEO Dialogue – Luxury Brands: China Still Holds the Key

We attended a panel discussion on China luxury trends in China during the J.P. Morgan China Summit 2014. Panelists included: Victor Luis, Coach CEO and Michele Norsa, Salvatore Ferragamo CEO. Our key takeaways are as follows.

Chinese consumers changing rapidly but luxury companies still see China as the most important market globally. China is the fastest changing environment for Ferragamo and there are challenges in keeping pace with this fast changing market. Ferragamo believes it is important to keep consistent with its roots and believes heritage is important in Asian more than anything else. In this regard, there are very few home-grown luxury brands from Asia which can go global given the difficulties of building a brand from scratch and competition from existing brands which have that heritage legacy. Coach is also seeking to transform itself towards more a lifestyle brand and providing that retail experience. For Coach, China represents the largest single most important geographic opportunity over the long term. It estimates the China luxury handbag accessories market now at US$4.6bn (13% of global markets), and expects this to grow to US$10bn in five years (20% of global market). Ferragamo has been growing in excess of 20% for four years except last year. Still growing double digit in retail business recently.

Price gap is too high now in China. For first time, people are travelling to Japan to shop. There is some expectation that the Chinese government will try to take steps to reduce the price premium of luxury goods in China (c40-50% premium vs. HK/ Europe) to retain consumption in-country.

Rents are unsustainable. Leases have become “unreasonable” in China. The time of the lease is the first thing that Ferragamo wants to change (needs longer lease). However, cost is also too high.

Capturing the Chinese traveler consumer at the airports. The ML Chinese traveler remains the largest driver of luxury sales worldwide. Hence the airport becomes an important branding and marketing channel. Ferragamo is marketing its brand with 17 billboard locations at airport in China (80+ airports globally as the ML Chinese increasingly travel to other parts of the world other than just Hong Kong). It is using famous celebrities / models to market the brand and note that Chinese people are “passionate over celebrities in a way you do not see in other parts of the world”. The Korean market is also seeing larger inbound flows from China in recent markets.

E-commerce is a big opportunity. Coach is incredibly excited in the digital space and within the mobile space. For now, e-commerce is still at its infancy for luxury brands in China. Coach launched its e-commerce website in Nov 2012 and has delivered in over 280 cities. Nevertheless, Coach thinks it will be difficult to have just internet only luxury brand. Luxury is very retail orientated business and need solid retail experience that is both seamless online and offline

Tier 2 or 3 cities are becoming credible opportunities for luxury companies.While the vast majority of the wallet spend has been in tier 1/2 cities to date,

companies are now looking beyond to tier 3 cities. Coach is still opening 30+ stores in China and looking at tier 3 and 4 opportunities. For now, exclusive luxury malls/ bridge fashion malls (i.e. department stores, shopping malls) are the core channels and e-commerce is still in its infancy. Coach was one of the first to be online, with its ecommerce site launched in Nov-12. It is already delivering to 286 cities while they only have a presence in 52 cities. Ferragamo believes there are 38 Tier 2 and 3 cities which now present credible opportunities for luxury players.

Impact of gifting. Ferragamo notes that menswear has comprised 46% of total sales in China (vs. 40% globally). With the clampdown on gifting, the women mix has increased by 1ppt every other month recently, and become more important in China (and increasingly more aligned with other parts of the world). Gifting remains an Asian/ Chinese culture and will not disappear in its entirety in China where it is legal to do so.

Exclusivity vs. accessibility. Coach takes a modern view of luxury and believes that it’s not only about the logo, but about product and value. Coach consumers are looking at "more intrinsic" value in brands and Coach’s DNA will be to focus on “approachable” or “accessible luxury". They hence view the expanding middle class as the core opportunity target group for them.

Consumer Connections: Retail Trends in China

We attended a panel discussion on retail trends in China during the J.P. Morgan China Summit 2014. Panelists included: Andrew Keith, President of Lane Crawford Joyce, Mark Israel, CEO of Value Retail China and Francis Belin, Senior Vice President of Swarovski Asia-Pacific. Our key takeaways are as follows.

Chinese consumers are evolving quickly and constantly looking for newness. Lane Crawford runs a “buyers model”, unlike many department store peers in China. The company has 85 buyers and owns all of the inventory within its store. This model has allowed the company to be closer to the consumer and provides the company flexibility and speed to be able to tailor to changing consumer preferences. Lane Crawford has noticed the speed with which Chinese consumers are evolving. Moreover, Chinese consumers are very responsive to newness and freshness within Lane Crawford stores. To this end, newness is not simply about bringing new products to the Chinese market but also includes the need to bring relevant products into the Chinese market, as well as newness from the perspective of a holistic shopping experience (e.g. concierge services, spa treatment, European travel for VIP customers, 360 degree beauty service).

Some companies are beginning to think about e-commerce and digital holistically. Value Retail believes the internet and digital space can help retailers to understand their customers better. Value Retail is trying to understand its guests better and continuing to tailor its shopping villages to those needs. Lane Crawford believes that its digital/e-commerce site allows it to be able to have a singular view of the customer. It allows Lane Crawford to have a personal relationship with its customers and builds customer engagement. Lane Crawford noted that when you have customers who are engaged both online and offline, you then see the real magic of retail occurring, with increased spending, engagement and loyalty.

Opportunity for department store M&A. Panelists noted that over the past 10years, department stores in China have performed relatively strongly. Hence, shareholders did not have a strong urge to engage in M&A discussions. However, with business becoming increasingly difficult over the past couple of years, this may be a catalyst in leading department store shareholders to be more willing to engage in M&A discussions.

Key trends that will define retail over the coming years. Panelists highlighted a number of trends that they thought would define retail over the coming years: 1) The move towards individuality and individual expression, away from mass broad fashion; 2) The tailoring of individual experiences, connectivity across various channels to the customer (online and offline) and its complexity; and 3) The growth and proliferation of the internet and its impact on marketing and how retailers will advertise and promote to consumers.

E-Commerce: Global Retail Revolutionized

We attended a panel discussion on e-commerce trends in China during the J.P. Morgan China Summit 2014. Panelists included: Ming Mei, Co-Founder and CEO of Global Logistics Properties, Yu Gang, Co-Founder and Chairman of Yihaodian, Diane Wang, Founder and CEO of DHgate, Peggy YU, Co-Founder and Executive Chairwoman of E-Commerce China Dangdang Inc, Josh Perlman, Managing Director, Branded Retail, Tristate Holdings. Our key takeaways are as follows.

E-commerce is growing fast and re-defining distribution. Yihaodian, a relatively newcomer to Chinese e-commerce space has now 4m SKUs (v 3k SKUs 6 years ago) and recorded US$2bn in sales in FY13. Global Logistics Properties’s (GLP) business has grown from 0% e-commerce exposure to 25% to e-commerce companies directly while another 5-10% dedicated to logistics companies services e-commerce. For Tristate, current online sales account for 12.5% of total and they expect to grow this to over 20%.

Yihaodian founder notes three key trends in e-commerce: (1) E-commerce is moving towards mobile. By end of last year, mobile users reached 500m with PC users 590m; (2) Penetration of e-commerce in China is going deeper into lower tier cities. This is due to convenience of online payment, improvement of logistics and mobile penetration. (3) Platform strategy – large e-commerce players are launching marketplace and leverages their traffic and leverages their e-commerce solutions. Yihaodian doesn’t see ceiling for e-commerce and think in future that boundary will be blurred.

Innovation happening on many fronts:

(1) GLP: GLP is focusing on how to reduce costs for customers. Total logistics costs transportation makes up ~50% of cost. GLP’s infrastructure network now covers most cities within China and looking to help truck drivers to match return routes. In any given time, 40% of trucks are empty b/c 70% of trucks are owned by individuals. GLP recently invested in platform for truck hubs. Right now e-commerce is cheap, fast but not making money. One way to do that is that efficiency – GLP working on how to be cost efficient.

(2) DHgate: DHgate is using cross-border transactional data to help SMEs access micro-financing. It is also helping SMEs to build global brands.

(3) Yihaodian: The Company has an innovation platform called idea.yihaodian.com.. It incubates 30 projects a year. One example of is a price system that grabs prices from ~70 different websites (+ traffic information etc). The system then sets the real time online prices for Yihaodian. Yihaodian is also innovating in the supply chain area. Only few years ago, Yihaodian’s inventory turnover days was ~50 days. It started to manage by many different models (e.g self owned, consignment, drop ship etc) and has reduced inventory This year goal the goal is to get down to ~15 days. Yihaodian receives lots of pallets from different suppliers every day. It is now working with suppliers to create a common pool of pallets, and returns common pallets within the pool.

Meeting China’s Food Demand

We attended a panel discussion on food demand trends in China during the J.P. Morgan China Summit 2014. Panelists included: Paul Fribourg, Chairman and CEO, Continental Grain Company, Sunny Verghese, CEO of Olam, Pedro Faria, CEO of BRF, Scott Sindelar, Agricultural Minister Counselor of USDA Beijing, and Bryan Lohmar, China Director of U.S Grains Council. Our key takeaways are as follows.

China is at an inflection point, moving from self-sufficiency to being an importer of food. China consumption has grown very quickly in the last decade but various challenges (food safety, water scarcity/ security, climate change etc) means China is now faced with the issue of securing food supplies overseas. For instance, the panel noted that China needs to produce 15m more tons of grain in the next 6 years, and to do that, will need to increase arable land, which is already in short supply in China. Given low expectations of yield gains, increasing supply in huge volumes in a sustainable way (with lower costs to the environment) will be a challenge. For instance, a large percentage of dairy farms in China are still small scale farms (<1000 cows). While there is a notion that the Chinese can increase efficiency, this is not going to grow overnight. To build large scale farms, “you need land and you can’t grow land”.

China as the world’s largest consumer represents opportunities for US/ Brazil as the world’s food/ protein producers. 32% of China CPI basket relates to the food basket and 95% of CPI inflation in last three years has been driven byfood. There is a big arbitrage opportunity for exporters to China (given large price gaps between China prices and international given a variety of reasons). In China, there is a general lack of trust on the safety and quality of locally made food and Chinese consumers have more confidence in imported products. BRF notes that meat consumption in China is still under-penetrated, providing opportunities for meat producing countries such as US and Brazil. China will move up the value chain to import higher end processed food and this will reshape global trade patterns in food. There is no global food player that exists in a major way currently (perhaps with the exception of WH group) and a key reason for this is that taste remains a local factor, and the food business is a highly complicated business to manage effectively on a global perspective (with varying business and commodity risks).

The China Factor in Global Brands Success

We attended a panel discussion on how global brands have managed to succeedin China during the J.P. Morgan China Summit 2014. Panelists included: Tom Doctoroff APAC CEO, JWT Asia Pacific, Karsten Engel, President and CEO, BMW Group China, David Brooks, Chairman, Coca Coca Greater China and Korea, and Alain Li, Regional Chief Executive, Regional Chief Executive, Richemont Asia Pacific. Our key takeaways are as follows.

Companies are spending more time communicating their brand story to an increasingly well-informed and inquisitive Chinese consumer. Richemont believes the thirst for authenticity is increasing for the Chinese consumer. In China, there is a more open community where people discuss brands and products in great depth. As a result, Richemont has to tell the heritage story very clearly, and there's much more communication with Chinese consumers relative to other markets (even in the pre-purchase stage of the transaction life cycle). Coca Cola agrees that the Chinese consumer is very knowledgeable and looking for functional benefits more than ever (“every Chinese teenage knows wolfberries are good for their eyes”) and now even a Coca Cola has to prove that as “Chinese consumers are not going to just accept what is presented to them”. BMW notes that “consumers come to the showroom excellently informed, sometimes better informed than the sales rep”. They are informed by chat groups/ forums in social media. As a result, people do not come to showrooms as frequently as in the past. China customers are more demanding than consumers in other markets that BMW operate in. Chinese consumers demand the best quality and when served well, could be a powerful “word of mouth” for the market. Conversely, if they are unsatisfied with the service/ product, negative press could spread very quickly through social media.

There is operational diversity across regions but companies look to ensure a cohesive branding effort across the nation.

(1) Coca Cola sells 140m drinks a day and produces drinks in 43 factories currently (+30% CAGR for past 25 years; vs 1 factory in 1981 which produced for the whole of China). China is their 3rd largest business globally by volume. While there are regional taste differences and operational diversity across China, the company notes that they do not develop local brands in every region given the importance of economies of scale in a beverage production business. Having said that, they do operate an R&D technical centre in Shanghai which produces localized flavors for certain markets.

(2) For BMW (which sells 400k cars per annum in China vs. 20k in 2003), there was a need to set up a dealer network that is of the same quality and consistent throughout the country hence they invest heavily in training (270k man hours of training a year). They do have to adapt to some important consumer differencesacross regions nevertheless. For instance, in Western China, experimental driving is important (getting customers in the car) but relatively less important in othersparts.

(3) Richemont notes that for a luxury brand, it was more about bringing their own brand DNA into the market and educating the Chinese consumer about their heritage. However to preserve that brand equity, picking the right locations and understanding the consumer preferences in varying city clusters in China is important. When malls were once very bullish on China, they presented Richemont with floor plans that looked “very similar” with “similar brands" that they planned to onboard - that would have been excessive if Richemont were to

China Travel Spending

We attended a panel discussion on China travel spending in China during the J.P. Morgan China Summit 2014. Panelists included: Tan Hee Teck, COO and President of Genting Singapore, Simon Cooper, President Asia Pacific of Marriott International, Matthew Driver, President, Southeast Asia, MasterCard Worldwide, and Andrew Wu, Group President, Greater China of LVMH. Our key takeaways are as follows.

Growth potential remains substantial. In 2013, the Mainland Chinese traveller spent US$130.6bn (+28% yoy vs. +40% in 2012). There is more potential for this to grow as families continue to accumulate wealth. From 1949-1978, only 2,10lpassports were issued in China. Currently there are now c40mn valid passportswhich represents only 5% penetration vs. 37% in the US and 75% in Japan. US, France, Italy is top of the aspirational list outside travel within Asia. In Asia,Macau, HK and the rest of SE Asia are key destinations.

Is the flow of tourist sustainable? The panel discussed potential curbs in Hong Kong and Singapore to some extent. Overall, they believe such curbs are harmful for the economy particularly in HK which has a heavy dependence on the ML Chinese in its retail sector. Instead of discouraging demand, the panel believes focus should be on improving supply side infrastructure. Countries that are pro-active in solving supply side infrastructure issues will be able to capture a disproportionate share of traveler spending.

The tourist profile is transiting: from government-led to individual-led. 30 years ago, the government was the “only customer” for hotels. The governmentwas a sizable chunk of spend through gifting (and self-gifting) and also training for conferences etc. While “government sponsored” travel consumption remains a significant proportion, it is now “retreating” and the individual consumer which is a more “sustainable source of growth” has evolved quickly. We are now into a new era where “gifting has gone forever”. The individual traveler is young (92% of Chinese travelers are under the age of 42) and growing significantly. Of this group, 60% of Gen Y travelers have more in common with their peers around the world than they do with their parents at home. The ML China tourist also travels more with families/ in groups compared with peers.

The internet and social media have a disproportionate impact on Chinesetravelers (or consumers) and have a credibility that you cannot find in traditional media. c43% of the Chinese population was born after 1980 (this is the year after economic reforms where prior to this you had 3 decades of revolution). This group is engaged in social media - they share pictures through social media of the places they visit and seek out aspirational pictures of places they want to visit through the internet they want to go. Designing a unique travel experience hence becomes important as you want to make sure that the tourist gets to capture a “unique sight” to post and share on social media – social media then becomes a natural showcasing mechanism (e.g. Resorts World Singapore designed the world’s largest aquarium in Sentosa with this in mind). Chinese traveller are increasingly seeking uniqueness (beyond scenery and shopping to adventure e.g bungee jumping). Total travel bookings from internet now forms c30% of total bookings (vs. nil three years ago). Bookings are made not only through CTRIP but also non-traditional portals. WeChat is frequently used as a source to find good deals or opinions on destinations or attractions.

Spending patterns dissected. Based on a Singapore Tourism Board study, the travelers book their low cost carrier flight, book at cheap hotels because they

don’t want to spend on flight or accommodations and rather spend in stores, entertainment or restaurants. 40% of spend is spent on retail for the Chinese travelers. This is similar to the Taiwanese traveler trends in the 80’s where they would buy luxury handbags and staying in cheap hotels and eating instant noodles in Paris. Having said that, there remain segments that are more affluent and are more willing to pay to have a “high touch experience”. Genting Singapore is one such company that caters to this – they own private jets that serve high spenders. The company is also about to open its first casino in Jeju in South Korea, a visa free destination for China and are targeting the Northern Chinese travelers for resort travel to Jeju (believes Macau mainly sees Southern Chinese travelers).

Forms of tourism now include educational, medical etc. Prior to 2013, in the last 20 years, 400k ML Chinese studied overseas (a lot of them on one way visa). This figure is increasing at a very fast pace as younger students apply for scholarship to go abroad. More family travel now to do school inspection tours now. There is now also medical tourism where the affluent are travelling for. There are also more ML Chinese travelling domestically, with 350m people who travel twice a year domestically (and are wearing out the steps of the Great Wall).

Section 3: Company Meeting Takeaways

China Huiyuan (1886 HK, Not Covered)

Focusing on products. One key focus for 2014 will be new product launches, according to management. The company is introducing more natural/ less concentrated fruit juice products, more chilled products and looking to launch more sports/ functional drinks. A new batch of products will be out in late June (originally planned for May-14, but delayed due to coordination issues in production and supply chain according to management). Longer term, it is also looking at the potential of plant based beverages (e.g. walnut, almond, coconut. Huiyuan already have some products in this space) and is studying differences in consumer preferences across region. For instance, Southern China provinces are more receptive to acceptable to plant based soy beverage which is sold at room temperature. Certain beverages such as Bing tang hu lu (traditional Chinese candied fruits and a food embedded in north China culture) flavored drinks do well in North China but are relatively less popular in South China.

Looking to address low capacity utilization. Management noted that capacity utilization is low at 30%. To raise utilization rates, they are looking to 1) dispose of 9 factories in FY14; 2) Explore potential opportunities to do OEM business for international partners (selling raw materials etc).

Pricing changes in FY14. Huiyuan has raised ASPs by 5% in FY14 and note their overall ASPs remain lower than industry (The company counts Huiquan and Nongfu as main competitors in 100% concentrated juice segment).

Vertical integration strategy to drive margin expansion. GPM expanded in FY13from favorable product mix and the company expects further expansion as it is now consolidating packaging plants upstream and will be doing more packaging internally. The company expects most of the GPM improvement to carry forward to the EBIT margin level as it is not seeing significant increases in selling and G&A expenses.

Channel, marketing and branding strategy. F&B channel traditionally formed7% to 8% of total sales. This channel has never been a focus hence sales have slipped here according to management; hence, it is trying to do more here by improving packaging and introducing dedicated products for F&B. The sales force is now organized by channel categories compared to product previously. Management believes that marketing and branding has been a key area where Huiyuan was lagging in the past. An executive from Lee Kum Kee has been brought in to lead and boost marketing efforts. It is also changing the channels through which they advertise. In the past, advertising was focused on TV (CCTV) and it is now switching efforts to advertise in social media and also trade fair sales marketing

Suntory acquisition should be completed Oct-14. Going forward, Suntory products will be produced and sold by Huiyuan. i.e. Suntory will not have any more production in China. As part of the deal, Suntory will get equity in Huiyuan and also investments in convertible bonds.

China Mengniu (2319 HK, OW)

Targets for FY14 and long term: Looking for close to mid teens top line growth in FY14 for core business. Expecting some GPM expansion as well. In the long run target GPM in the range of 28%-30% largely driven by product mix shift. There is potential to lift up yogurt business margins and contribution of infant formula will help margin profile as well.

Competition posed by imported UHT milk: Management notes that the base is very low for imported UHT, less than 1% of total demand. Growth last year was 90% y/y, which could be due to the raw milk crunch in China, which this year has slowed down to 40% growth. Management does not believe imported UHT milk is taking share from Deluxe as they have no investment in brand. Deluxe has brand recognition. They agree that currently online prices are lower than milk deluxe but noted that these are not sustainable.

Expect strong growth to continue in milk beverages: Banana milk and probiotics milk beverage is growing very well for Mengniu. Expect teens growth in the next 3 to 5 years. Mengniu is probably gaining market share but not that fast.

Raw milk price trends: Raw milk prices increased 18% y/y last year. Prices have peaked in Jan and started trending down this year. Mengniu has negotiated some downward revision in its raw milk sourcing price for the rest of this year. On average expect to see c12% y/y increase in raw milk price this year. Do notexpect any shortage of volume this year. In addition due to raw milk price hike, a lot of capital went into upstream recently so in about 2 years expect to see pick up in supply. Management notes that c25% of raw milk comes from upstream farms where they have financial interest (such as Modern Dairy). From these farms they tend to get favourable volumes but not necessarily favourable pricing.

Thoughts on JVs: On White wave, they see big potential in plant based beverages given a lactose intolerant population in China. First product will be soy milk, also planning almond milk. They do not expect meaningful contribution in the next two years. On Danone JV, no contribution for this year. The current market share of Mengniu plus Danone yogurt product is 19%. Expect to reach c30% market share in 5 years with this JV.

Gome (493 HK, Not Covered)

Aiming to double both sales and profit from 2013 to 2017. The company believes this will come from: (1) SSSG, with the company reporting 8.1% SSSG in 1Q14. (2) New stores, with the company planning to open ~50-100 stores p.a. in tier 2 markets while closing ~30-50 stores p.a. in tier 2 markets (leaving store space roughly in line). (3) E-commerce growth. (4) Third-party business, With Gome having opportunity to now consolidate market share by co-operating with third parties.

Third-party business represents interesting opportunity. With the rise of e-commerce, Gome believes there is a significant opportunity to consolidate market share in home appliances and consumer electronics by co-operating with third parties. For example, Gome recently took over Wumart’s home appliances business. As part of this deal, Gome pays Wumart ~3-4% of total revenues to operate the consumer electronics section within Wumart’s stores.

E-commerce GMV forecast could triple by 2017. Gome forecasts total GMV for its e-commerce business to be ~RMB5-6bn in FY14 and expects this number to increase to ~10-15bn by 2017. Gross margins for e-commerce were 2.7% in FY14. In 1Q14, this number increased to 7.2%. The company has been able to increase gross margins through the integration of online/offline procurement as well as the introduction of higher margin products online.

Differentiated product currently represents ~30% of sales, with company forecasting this will increase to ~50% over time. Gome does not take inventory risk for the regular products that its sells (~70% of sales currently) but does take inventory risk for differentiated product. Differentiated products currently consist of high margin products (~20% of total sales with gross margins ~23-25%) and regular products (~10% of total sales with gross margins ~13-14%). The company believes differentiated products will eventually be ~50% of total sales.

Looking to build omni-channel retailer. Following a very tough 2012, Gome has wanted to transform its business away from being a property manager to being a supply chain specialty/retailer. The company terms this as being an omni-channel retailer. We note that in more developed markets such as the US, the term omni-channel retailer refers to a retailer that integrates both the online and offline shopping experience. Gome is trailing online/offline integration in some stores but have not yet implemented this initiative across its own network.

Trinity (891 HK, Neutral)

We hosted Trinity during our China Summit. Trinity also hosted a lunch with the CEO later in the week. Our takeaways of the CEO lunch are summarized as follows (see here for our earlier note):

We attended a lunch event hosted by Trinity. Richard Cohen, Trinity's new CEO, was in attendance. Cohen provided some initial remarks following ~4 weeks inthe job. Overall, we believe Cohen will instill a disciplined approach at Trinity, with the company seeing significant growth opportunities in international markets.

Initial focus on reducing inventory. Cohen emphasised the need to be disciplined and do more with less throughout his presentation. In the short term, the company plans to reduce inventory turnover days to ~300 days. Cohen has started to introduce some US retail management practices in the business. We expect the reduction of inventory would also entail: (1) inventory clearance in the short term; (2) ongoing change with respect to the company’s supply chain; (3) focus on reducing SKUs; (4) different way to running outlet stores.

Trinity will solidify China and expand internationally. Unlike international menswear brands that initially started with developing an international presence before turning to China, Trinity's brand portfolio managed to develop a presence in China first and is now looking to expand globally. Cohen sees significant opportunity to move Europe to profitability as well as expand Trinity’s brands into North America.

Focus on improving story-telling for each brand. From a brand marketing perspective, Cohen will focus on telling the Trinity brand portfolio story in a more effective, precise and disciplined way. From a brand segmentation perspective, Cohen's initial impression is that Kent & Curwen is a sportswear/casual story, Cerruti has a similar brand position to Hugo Boss and Gieves & Hawkes is a sartorial story. Cohen also believes D’Urban could be an entry price point for young men.

We expect ongoing weakness in the short term. Our channel checks indicate ongoing weakness for high-end menswear. For Trinity, we expect weakness in sales to cause operating de-leverage. Furthermore, efforts to reduce inventory could also have a negative impact on margins. We reduce our earnings forecasts significant to reflect continued weakness in the sales environment.

Vipshop (VIP US, OW)

Vipshop is covered by JP Morgan China Internet Analyst Alex Yao. We provide below extracts of Alex’s notes from the conference regarding Vipshop (see here for his recently published note).

“We met with Vipshop management last week during J.P. Morgan’s China Summit. We believe the strong growth outlook of Vipshop remains intact. Key takeaways are as follows:

Strong growth outlook intact. Management remains confident on the growth prospect of Vipshop and believes Vipshop’s value proposition to both brand partners and consumers remains intact. In addition to liquidating excess inventories through Vipshop, certain brands started to supply exclusive products to Vipshop. To meet the strong demand from brands, we expect Vipshop to continue to expand its merchandising team this year.

Cosmetics is the key focal category this year. Management noted that cosmetics would be the key focal product category for 2014, post the acquisition of Lefeng. Combined cosmetic GMV of Vipshop and Lefeng reached USD167m in 1Q14, with revenue from cosmetics growing at three-digits YoY. Management expects the momentum to continue into 2Q14. According to management, integration with Lefeng is progressing well and Vipshop is working on the back-end system integration of the two platforms, which would enable cross-selling opportunities. Management expects Vipshop to continue to take market share in the online cosmetics market.

Mobile remains a strategic focus. Mobile revenue has been ramping up significantly contributing 36% of total revenue in 1Q and management expects it to reach 50% by end of 2014. Mobile is suitable for a flash sales model especially for certain categories such as cosmetics and baby/maternity products. Vipshop is differentiating SKUs offered on mobile and PC to target different users. One of the initiatives on mobile is to develop personalized recommendations for targeted consumers, which will require user data accumulation as well as strong data mining capability. We believe Vipshop will continue to invest in IT capability to drive mobile monetization. Management expects to expand R&D personnel from current ~800 to 1500 by end of 2014.

Expecting steady gross margin improvement. Partially helped by the marketplace revenue, gross margin already reach 24.9% in 1Q. Management noted that gross margin of its core business is around 24% and expects it to improve gradually to reach mid-to-long term target of 25%. However, management stressed that, as compared to continuing to grab more market share, margin expansion is less of a focus this year. Currently, gross margin of cosmetics is slightly lower vs overall gross margin, while management expects cosmetics to be margin accretive in the mid-to-longer term.”

Current trading remains challenging. Wumart has experienced fierce competition within the industry since 2011, according to management. SSSG has slowed over recent quarters although the company has experienced some slight improvement in 2Q14.

Wumart will look to reduce prices to attract customer traffic. The company believes that one third of Wumart's products are currently higher than competitors. The company is implementing a low price project. After the implementation of this project ~20% of product prices will be higher than competitors. Company will look to continuously reduce prices going forward.

Operating cost pressures remain. Net profit margins reduced from 3.5% in FY12 to 2.4% in FY13. One of the key reasons for this was increase in operating costs. In FY12, rental costs represented 4.3% of sales, while staff costs represented 5.4% of sales. In FY13, rental costs represented 4.9% of sales while staff expenses represented 6.2% of sales.

Thoughts on e-commerce. The category currently most immune from e-commerce is fresh food and Wumart plans to focus on improving its fresh offering. Wumart does currently employ a team investigating e-commerce but does not believe now is the right time to roll out e-commerce.
