We hosted a visit to Goldpac Group’s (Goldpac) Zhuhai factory on 21 Jan for investors. Management said that volume growth of integrated circuit (IC) cards has remained strong since Dec 2014 for two key reasons. First, the newly-issued PBOC 3.0 standard (a higher security standard that all banks should comply with by 1 Apr 2015), has had a minimal negative impact on cards issued as the necessary upgrades of IT systems by banks to comply with the new standard has already been completed. Second, demand for IC cards remains strong. The company has been running at full capacity on chip cards YTD with a strong orderbook till next month. Positive outlook for other businesses. Management also sees robust growth momentum for its non-banking cards (ie social security and healthcare cards) from 2016. It expects the volume of healthcare cards (also smart IC cards) to increase to over 10m in 2015 from a few hundred thousand last year. Overseas expansion is also well on track. Goldpac's production facilities in the Philippines will commence operation this month. Including HK, the Philippines is its second overseas operations and management believes it will expand into more countries. Reiterate BUY with a revised HKD8.90 TP. We lower our TP to HKD8.90 (from HKD9.50) on an unchanged 17x FY15F P/E. Maintain BUY. We tweak our EPS lower by 5% for FY15-16 on slightly lower ASP assumptions, mainly due to a faster-than-expected decline in IC chip cost. We forecast recurring EPS growth of 42% and 27% YoY for FY14 and FY15, respectively. Goldpac has achieved No.1 market share in domestic IC card shipments by both value and volume. However, it is trading at 10x 2015F P/E, substantially below its A-share listed peers of 30x and strategic shareholder Gemalto's (GTO NA, NR) 16x. As its outlook remains intact, we think the recent share price correction offers an attractive BUY opportunity.

Overall, management remains optimistic on its outlook, especially for volume growth in FY15-16. Investors’ feedback from the trip was generally positive and they believe the outlook for Goldpac is promising. In this note, we highlight responses from management to five key questions from investors. What are Goldpac’s key competitive advantages over its peers? Management highlighted that Goldpac has become the largest card manufacturer in terms of value and volume in 2014 with about 20% market share, according to China Union Pay. Management believes the barriers of entry to the financial card industry and the competitive edges are mainly related to service reliability, services variety and innovation capabilities. Certification from payment organisations is one of the key barriers for the industry Goldpac's full range of services is one of its key competitive edges compared to its peers Firstly, Goldpac is the only card manufacturer that is certified by all six payment organisations, ie Visa, MasterCard, American Express, China UnionPay, JCB and Diners Club International, while most of its peers in China are certified by UnionPay and Visa only. These payment organisations conduct frequent inspections on Goldpac’s production flow, security control as well as product quality. Owning these certifications implies Goldpac’s adherence to the industry's high product standard. Product quality and suitability are also the reason Goldpac can expand its presence into Hong Kong and Macao, as international card issuers usually work with a wider circle of payment card organisations. Goldpac currently has over 60% market share in Hong Kong in terms of new card issuance. Secondly, providing one-stop solutions to banks is also one of the key factors that banks would work with Goldpac. Goldpac's services cover almost all the outsourcing card services for banks, from card body design, software embedding, to personalisation and mailing to end-customers. The delivery cycle for the company is only 1-2 days after they receive orders from banks. Compared against other competitors, Goldpac provides more integrated services – which results in it offering more value-added services to customers. The company is the largest personalisation services provider in China, according to Frost & Sullivan. Personalisation services include a series of customised services like loading personal data, associate packaging and card mailing. The company is able to distribute personalised cards directly to end-users 24 hours a day and seven days a week on behalf of their customers. Strong software R&D capabilities differentiate Goldpac from its peers Thirdly, product research and development (R&D) is one of the emerging factors that banks value nowadays. According to management, following the migration policies of IC chip card in China and Visa/Master card entering into China, banks are also looking at software solution capabilities and R&D capabilities of card suppliers when they choose card suppliers. Management believes Goldpac stands out with its strong internal R&D team providing a wide range of software solutions to card issuers, while its competitors still rely on outsourcing software solutions companies. R&D cost will account for over 40% of its topline in the next few years. What are Goldpac’s key earnings growth drivers going forward? Management is optimistic on card shipment growth in FY15-16 Banking chip cards. Management believes chip card growth will be the company’s main earnings driver in the three two years. According to the migration mandate released by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), all banks in the country are required to retire the issuance of magnetic stripe bank cards by 1 Jan 2015. Management expects the number of new chip cards issued in China to grow 50-80% YoY in the next few years, and Goldpac is trying to expand its market share in tandem with the industry growth. The company has raised its capacity to 300m cards at the end of 2014, from 250m cards at the end of 2013. Goldpac has the flexibility to shift capacity between magnetic cards and IC chip cards. With third phase of its production capacity already in place at the end of 2014, management sees upside potential on further capacity expansion in the year. See important disclosures at the end of this report 2 Goldpac Group (3315 HK) 23 January 2015 According to management, since late Dec 2014, Goldpac's plant is running at full capacity and order pipeline has been strong as well. Management sees accelerating volume not just from big banks but smaller banks as well. Goldpac sees strong volume growth from smart card under PBOC 3.0 standard, which is a higher security standard required by the PBOC, implying banks are well-prepared for the new standards. Management is encouraging staff to stay in the factory during the Chinese New Year so as to fulfil orders on hand. Goldpac is confident that the company will report strong chip card volume growth in 2015-2016. Non-banking cards such as healthcare cards and social security cards could fuel earnings growth from FY15 Overseas expansion in the Philippines has kicked off Non-banking cards. Management expects the volume of healthcare cards (also smart IC cards) to increase to over 10m in 2015, from minimal volume last year. Healthcare cards' ASP is slightly lower than that of banking cards while its margin could be similar as that of banking cards given the usage of lower-cost domestic chips. Overseas market expansion. Management sees overseas expansion will add additional profit to Goldpac in 2015-2016. The privatisation centre in the Philippines will commence operations this month, according to management. The Philippine Government aims to complete Europay, MasterCard and Visa EMV card migration by 2017. Orders in the Philippines are all quoted in CNY to avoid foreign exchange risks. ASP in the Philippines is better than that in China. Goldpac believes its Philippine business will be the gateway to the company's expansion in the South-East Asian region. What is the impact from rapid growth of mobile payment? Concern on threat from emerging mobile payment and online payment is overdone Some investors see the card payment industry as a sunset industry given the anticipated impact of mobile payments substituting card payments in the long term. Mobile payments have achieved a revolutionary breakthrough last year as Tencent Holdings (700 HK, BUY, TP: HKD159) and Alipay utilise mobile applications like Didi Dache and Kuraidi Dache to rapidly grow their user bases and increase the adoption of their services in cities in China. In Mar 2014, Alibaba (BABA US, NR) announced that it would roll out its first virtual credit card in China (which it aims to do very soon) as a result of its co-operation with China Citic Bank (998 HK, NR). On the same day, Tencent also announced that it will team up with China Citic Bank to launch a virtual credit card on the WeChat platform. Both Alibaba and Tencent plan to issue 1m virtual credit cards at the first stage. However, in late Mar 2014, the PBOC halted barcode and virtual credit card payments in China, mainly due to concerns over the security of verification procedures. There are also talks about whether the Government is capping the amount allowed for online and mobile payments to avoid payment fraud. Management does not see mobile payment as threat as it believes card payment will continue to be the mainstream Goldpac is well-positioned in the mobile Regarding some recent discussions about mobile payment and card payment in China, management does not see any negative impact from increasing e-payment or online payment at this moment. Management reiterates its views as follow: i. Goldpac is ready in software-based payment technology including online payment and mobile payment. The company has existing technological know-how in near-field communication-single wire protocol (NFC-SWP) payment. The value of transactions using credit cards is still growing in China. Compared to card transactions, the scale of mobile payments is still small in China. Goldpac has not identified any mainstream emerging payment method yet. It sees higher potential in NFC payment (chip-based) method in the long run given the higher security requirements. ii. According to the previous PBOC's announcement, China currently does not allow the existence of virtual credit card. All online transactions are linked with physical banking cards, either debit or credit. Goldpac believes there is no material cannibalisation from mobile payment or online payment at the current stage as card payment is still the mainstream. iii. Goldpac is open to acquire some mobile payment companies or third-party payment companies in order to increase its own R&D capabilities in this area. However, detailed merger and acquisition (M&A) direction has not been decided yet. payment field with existing technological know-how in NFC-SWP payment See important disclosures at the end of this report 3 Goldpac Group (3315 HK) 23 January 2015 Figure 1: Value of financial card transactions in China Figure 2: Value of financial card, third-party and mobile payment transactions in 2013 (CNYbn) 35.0 32 30.0 25.0 08-13 CAGR: 52% 21 Financial card payment CNY32trn 20.0 15 15.0 Third party payment CNY5.3trn 10 10.0 5.0 Mobile payment CNY1trn 7 4 0.0 2008 2009 2010 2011 Source: PBOC 2012 2013 Source: PBOC, iResearch How does Goldpac procure IC chips given chip cost is the largest cost component of the company? NXP is still playing the dominating role in chip supply Gemalto procures IC chips from NXP Semiconductors (NXP) (NXPI US, NR) through large-batch global procurement orders. Gemalto then resells IC chips to Goldpac at cost. According to management, NXP is almost the monopoly supplier of IC chips for banking cards with about 70-75% market share. Other domestic card manufacturers usually order chips from NXP directly at relatively higher cost than the price Goldpac procured from Gemalto. Chip cost accounts for 70% of Goldpac’s total cost of goods sold (COGS). Although Gemalto does not restrict Goldpac's IC chip procurement, most banks and customers are encouraging the usage of NXP chips. As NXP's IC chip is better in quality and price is fair, almost 90% of IC chips used by Goldpac are produced from NXP now. Chinese chip manufacturers are ramping up but they still lag behind NXP in terms of technology, product stability/quality and cost of production, among others. They still rely on government subsidies at the current stage. There are many reasons why NXP is the dominating player in the industry. i. NXP owns almost all the patents in terms of production standards and product specifications. It also works with banking card organisations (EMV, Visa, Master) in setting up the chip standard in the early days. Chinese chip manufacturers like Shanghai Fudan (1385 HK, NR), Huahong (Not listed) and Datong (600198 CH, NR) need to develop production techniques and get certified by EMV Corp before they can receive mass orders from card manufactures. ii. NXP has product quality and economies of scale. Even if new players are able to get certifications, it may take years for banks and card manufacturers like Goldpac to test the product with small volume trial orders. Without economies of scale and government subsidies right now, domestic chip manufacturers cannot compete with NXP in ASP given their higher costs of production. Goldpac sees the ramp-up of domestic chip supply as a positive to its margins See important disclosures at the end of this report Goldpac believes chip localisation is a long-term trend in China given the Government's support in industry development. The company has been working with all six domestic IC chip suppliers in product testing together with banks in small batches since last year. Management estimate that the increasing usage of domestic chips should slightly lower the company’s cost base and increase its gross margin as domestic chips are currently selling at a discount to NXP's chips. 4 Goldpac Group (3315 HK) 23 January 2015 Why was the share price so weak recently? Management sees several reasons behind the recent share price weakness. Goldpac believes the concern over PBOC 3.0 standard is overdone. Shipments since Dec 2014 have been robust i. Goldpac's pre-IPO investor, BOCI, placed shares in Nov 2014. There is some lingering effect on the placement. This, coupled with a sector rotation from small-mid sector to big-cap sector in early December, caused Goldpac's share price to be vulnerable to the market selldown. ii. In 4Q13, the PBOC announced that all the banks should comply with the new PBOC 3.0 standard by end of 1 Apr 2015. Goldpac saw slight volume weakness in Nov 2014 as a result given that banks need to upgrade their IT hardware to comply with the new standard. There are market concerns that the new PBOC standard could cause delays of shipments in 1Q15. Management clarified that PBOC 3.0 will not cause major delays in shipments as banks can still choose to issue cards that comply with the PBOC 2.0 standard before Apr 2014. In fact, the company has seen both PBOC 3.0 orders and PBOC 2.0 orders in the past few months. Following the temporary weakness in shipment volume in November, the company has seen a strong pickup in volume in Dec 2014 and much stronger orders in Jan 2015. Management agrees with our view that shipment volume of cards will mainly be driven by demand from consumers who apply for new cards. In fact, management believes its strong card shipments and orderbook could be attributable to banks' card promotion before the Chinese New Year. Management remains confident on the shipment volume growth this year. Goldpac did not allow us to take photos in the Figure 3: Goldpac's card board production plants.

Management has guided for a 5-10% decline in ASP for FY14-16 due to a sequential decline in chip cost. According to management, IC chip selling price declined 10% in 2014, especially in 2H14, due to increasing upstream competition and the lowering of ASP by NXP. Management believes its ASP could decline further in 2015 due to a further decline in chip cost and increasing batch purchasing of chip cards from banks in FY15. We had previously expected chip card ASP to decline by 3% YoY and 2% YoY in FY15 and FY16, respectively. We lower our ASP forecast by 3-6% for FY14-16, anticipating YoY ASP declines of 12%/6%/4% in FY14/FY15/FY16 respectively.

Due to lower ASP forecast for Goldpac in FY14-16, we revise down Goldpac's EPS by 1% for FY14 and 5% for FY15-16. We now expect Goldpac to deliver a recurring net profit growth of 139% YoY in 2H14 to CNY121m. We forecast a recurring EPS growth of 42% YoY and 27% YoY for FY14 and FY15, respectively. According to management, the company had cash inflow of CNY400m in December as banks settle their payments before year-end. We expect year-end account receivables level should be much lower than that in Jun 2014. Management also mentioned that the company is considering share buyback or increasing its dividend payout for 2014 to increase the return to shareholders. We currently forecast a 25% dividend payout for Goldpac in FY14-16.

We value Goldpac at 17x P/E, applying our FY15F EPS forecast. 17x is on par with its average 1-year forward P/E since listing. Goldpac has no directly comparable peers listed in Hong Kong. All of its peers are listed in China, ie Eastcompeace Technology (Eastcompeace) (002017 CH, NR), Hengbao (002104 CH, NR) and Wuhan Tianyu Information Industry (Tianyu) (300205 CH, NR). Its strategic shareholder Gemalto is listed in the Netherlands. Goldpac is now trading at 10x FY15F P/E, which is substantially below valuations of its A-share listed peers and its strategic shareholder, Gemalto. In terms of share price performance, Goldpac has substantially underperformed its A-share listed peers. We forecast a recurring EPS growth of 42% YoY and 27% YoY for Goldpac in FY14 and FY15, respectively. We believe the recent share price correction offers an attractive BUY opportunity A major risk to our call is ASP dropping faster than expected due to fluctuations in IC chip market prices.
