Greatview Aseptic Packaging’s (Greatview) 9M14 net profit dropped 16% YoY and sales grew only 10% YoY. While FX losses accounted for 75% of the net profit (NP) decline of CNY35m, 3Q14 results deteriorated sharply as sales fell 7% YoY vs a growth of 20% in 1H14. Greatview surprised investors when guided its sales in 4Q to be similar to 3Q, thus implying a c.7% decline. We estimate its reported EPS to drop c. 16% YoY, or by 8%, excluding FX losses. Twin industry headwinds in dairy. Domestic milk price hikes after channel restocking in 1Q14 by dairy processors such as Mengniu (2319 HK, NR) have led to waning demand. Additionally, the global milk glut has encouraged retailers to import foreign ultra-high temperature processing (UHT) milk products into China. These two factors put a short- to medium-term dampener on UHT milk production, which in turn affected demand for packaging. Competitive pressure. Greatview’s top rival, ie Tetra Pak, defended its market share by giving discounts, which led to a price war. To date, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce’s (SAIC) anticompetitive investigation into Tetra Pak has made little progress, with bundling of filling machines, servicing and packaging believed to be still in practice. Moreover, recent price promotions by its major customers like Mengniu and Yili (600887 CH, NR) to maintain their own margins may pressure Greatview’s ASP, in our view. All these factors suggest that Greatview’s gross profit margins (GPM) are vulnerable. Downgrade to NEUTRAL (from Buy). We cut our recurring NP forecasts by 22%, 31% and 35% for FY14-16 respectively. Our new TP of HKD3.89 (from HKD7.05) is now based on a 13x FY15F P/E, about 0.5SD below the historical average forward P/E of 15x from its Dec 2010 IPO. We believe its lower P/E (from 16x previously) is justified by a slower growth profile and a more competitive operating environment. This marks the transfer of coverage to Robin Yuen.

Greatview’s sales growth decreased sharply as 9M14 sales grew only 10% YoY. Since 1H14 sales saw a decent growth of 20% YoY, this implies 3Q sales growth turned negative and decreased by c.7% YoY. The magnitude of the drop is a surprise as FY11-13 and 1H14 sales were strong, growing by 36%/11%/24% and 10% respectively. We believe most of the decrease is volumedriven, as management indicated that its ASPs are negotiated once a year, at the beginning of the year. Price takers see their GPM squeezed GPM should not have changed materially in 3Q14, since ASPs were stable. Greatview announced a 9M14 GPM decline two weeks ago, most probably due to factors like: i) an ASP decline in 1Q from price competition against Tetra Pak, and ii) ASP pressure from its customers Mengniu and Yili, as they passed on GPM pressure onto their raw material suppliers. FX loss was the main culprit However, the main culprit was the FX loss as management indicated that there was a downward swing of CNY27m in 9M14 vs 9M13 primarily due to the depreciation of the EUR vs CNY, the bulk of which stemmed from the third-quarter comparison. During 3Q13, the EUR appreciated and led to Greatview booking a FX gain of CNY8m. However, in 3Q14, the depreciation of the EUR led to a FX loss of CNY17m. Low impact from government subsidies as the subsidy awarded in 9M14 was only CNY2m lower than that in 9M13. Net profit impact. 9M14 net profit was CNY35m lower than in 9M13, as per its announcement – though the actual 3Q numbers were not provided. Domestic price hike deterred buyers Domestic milk price hike in 1H14. Major dairy processors like Mengniu reportedly raised prices in 1Q14 after restocking their inventory post Chinese New Year. The price hike deterred consumers and led to high channel inventory during 2Q14, and subsequent price promotions during the summer months to clear inventory. Cheap foreign milk alternatives due to global Global milk glut. Another reason for the decline in packaging sales can be attributed to the industry slowdown in liquid milk production volume. The Chinese milk market is currently affected by a global glut of raw milk supply. This means global milk processors are ramping up production of milk at lower costs and passing on the savings to end-users. China retailers are importing cheaper foreign UHT milk from New Zealand, Germany and Britain, among others, even after factoring transportation costs. From our channel checks online (ie Yihaodian.com and JD.com), bulk imported UHT milk sells at a 10-20% discount (as low as CNY8/litre) vs low-end domestic milk from Mengniu and Yili (see Figure 1) milk glut Thus, we believe these two factors combined to lead to high channel inventories of domestic UHT milk for retailers and reduced production volume in 3Q14 – which resulted in lower demand for Greatview’s aseptic packaging.

Data as of November 14, 2014. See important disclosures at the end of this report 2 Greatview Aseptic Packaging (468 HK) 21 November 2014 Structural reasons why Greatview may not be able to replace Tetra Pak despite c.10% discounting We recently spoke with a Mengniu executive to learn about the company’s usage of Greatview’s packaging. First, while Greatview’s prices are c.10-20% lower, he believes Tetra Pak continues to request minimum order quantities of packaging materials, in conjunction with the purchase and maintenance of their filling machines (aka bundling). We note that there have so far been no updates on SAIC’s investigation into Tetra Pak’s anti-competitive practices, and this case has dragged for longer than a year. Second, he believes certain Tetra Pak machines may require packaging materials of a specific technical requirement and that Greatview may not yet have duplicated those technical specifications that would allow substitution to be possible. Based on these observations and from Greatview’s comment that its market share has remained at the 13% level since 2012, we believe growth above industry production volume (+c.20%) would be difficult to sustain going forward, especially since it is unable to take market share from Tetra Pak. Price war is eroding Greatview’s only edge Furthermore, Greatview’s greatest edge, ie low pricing, is disappearing. Greatview’s management indicated that the price war with Tetra Pak is intensifying. Previously, Greatview entered the China market in 2003 with a 30% price discount vs Tetra Pak, but the current differential has narrowed to only 8% (estimated by its management). We believe Tetra Pak has greater ability and appetite to defend its market share, as it can cut prices easily for an extended period of time, especially as a private company. Slashing forecasts. While we acknowledge FX losses are one-off in nature and noncore, we grow increasingly concerned over Greatview’s growth prospects due to the factors mentioned earlier. We cut our FY14 sales forecast by 12% to CNY2,278m from CNY2,585m, implying that sales growth could cool down to only +5.5% (vs +c.20% we previously forecasted). This also assumes that 4Q14 sales would be the same as 3Q levels – in line with management’s comments made during the analyst briefing. We also cut our sales forecasts for FY15 and FY16 by 17% and 19% respectively on reduced ASP due to price competition and a squeeze on volume as a result of industry headwinds. We highlight that China milk processors, such as Mengniu, are recently deriving their revenue gain from product mix upgrades rather than volume increases (1H14 volume increased only by low single-digits). We reduce our GPM projection due to: i) a lower utilisation ratio in China factories due to slackened demand, ii) greater ASP reduction from increasing price pressure from its top customers, and iii) price competition vs Tetra Pak. GPMs for FY14-16 are now at 25%/24%/24%, from 26%/26%/26% previously. We leave the dollar value of opex unchanged, but given the operating de-leverage, EBIT margins would be reduced to 15%/15%/15% from 18%/19%/18%. As such, our recurring net profit estimates are reduced by 22%/31%/35% for FY1416 respectively. Valuation. Our new TP of HKD3.89 is based on a 13x FY15F P/E, which is about 0.5SD below the historical average forward P/E of 15x (since its IPO in Dec 2010). We downgrade the stock to NEUTRAL (from Buy). We gather from management that the company plans to pay a dividend of HKD0.10 per half year going forward, which implies that the stock offers an attractive dividend yield of 5.4%.
