2 Industry / Corporate News Becky Yuen, CFA becky.yuen@guoco.com We are still a buyer of Wasion Group (3393) thanks to company s promising business outlook Reiterate BUY Interim results in line, with continuous shift to higher-end AMI and ADO segments Risk Level: High Export sales grew 66% yoy, signaling company's expansion in emerging countries is on track Counter is now trading at 7.9x 2016 PER, undemanding given an EPS CAGR of 20% during Time Horizon: Medium Wasion Group (3393, $7.15) dropped 37% in last two months, underperformed HSCEI by 10%. Comment: We believe the price weakness was mainly due to the overall bearish market sentiment and investors rising concern on corporate governance which triggered capital outflow from small- and mid-cap counters. Yet, we still see Wasion as a key beneficiary of China s smart grid upgrade and increasing awareness on energy efficiency by industrial players to save cost. As a recap, Wasion reported interim results on August 19, which saw revenue and earnings up 17% and 25% yoy to RMB1.63bn and RMB253.8mn respectively. EPS was up 20.8% yoy to RMB The interim results looked solid in our view, as earnings usually are more skewed towards second half of the year based on historical pattern. While revenue was largely in line with our estimates, gross margin which fell 2.4ppts yoy to 31.0% was a disappointment. Yet, this was offset by a good cost control during the period, with administrative, selling and R&D expenses to sales ratio dropped 1.4ppts, 1.1ppts and 0.5ppts to 4.2%, 7.3% and 4.3% respectively. Product mix in 1H15 continued to skew towards higher-margin advanced distribution operations (ADO) business (revenue grew 70.6% yoy and accounted for 12% of overall sales, up from 8% in 1H14) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) segment (revenue grew 14.8% yoy and accounted for 52% of overall revenue). ADO gross margin deteriorated by 5ppts to 33% in 1H15, as company adopted a more aggressive pricing strategies on its ADO projects in order to win market share. AMI gross margin contracted 3ppts to 36%, as sales growth of lower-margin water meters and export sales were stronger (AMI for water, gas and heat up 47% while export sales grew 66%). Management did note that even though gross margin of AMI for water, gas and heat and export were thinner, the selling expenses involved in these products are generally less and thus will have a positive impact on company s overall operating margin and net profit margin. In fact, company s OPM and NPM were up by 1ppt and 0.8ppt respectively during the period. We continue to see Wasion as a strong beneficiary of China s rising demand of smart grid system at both the state and industry level, and also the strong potential in water meters segment as China is actively promoting water escalating pricing. The company is also leveraging on its cooperation with Siemen to win more overseas orders. We have revised down our 2015 earnings estimates by 5% to factor in the lower than expected gross margin. Our new earnings forecast of RMB607.5mn (EPS RMB0.61) now based on a sales growth of 36%, GPM of 32.1% and OPM of 19.0%. We also introduce 2016 earnings estimates of RMB754mn (EPS RMB0.73) assuming a sales growth of 15%, GPM of 32.1% and OPM of 20.1%. This translates to an EPS CAGR of 20% during Counter is now trading at 7.9x 2016 PER that is not demanding in view of company s strong growth potential in the ADO business. We reiterate BUY with revised 6-month target price of $11.86, as we roll over to 13x 2016 PER.
