1 All cash out? Working Capital Management China Market Study Deep dive on the automotive sector February 2018
2 2 PwC
3 Foreword In this 2017 Annual Working Capital Survey for China and Hong Kong, we analyse 5 years worth of company data, listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange. In this study, we divided the listed companies into 16 sectors and analysed the industry trends. We especially focus on the automotive sector as representation of underlying trends. Given the relative slowdown of the Chinese economy, we see a clear impact on working capital performance levels across most sectors. Only 2 out of 16 sectors have shown any improvement (over the last 5 years) and the variability in working capital performance across the different sectors has been amplified significantly this year. With any slowdown in demand, all three elements accounts receivables, inventories and accounts payables are affected. Accounts receivables tend to increase as terms are extended or invoices are simply not paid on time; inventories are stuck in sales channels often pushed onto distributors who can t pay and accounts payables are stretched and increased as suppliers are not deemed a priority. By not paying suppliers, working capital optics look good! However this is a dangerous strategy to adopt, as it ultimately causes the breakdown of liquidity across the supply chain. Traditionally, working capital has not been an issue as borrowing money was inexpensive. However, now the lack of liquidity in the supply chain causes companies higher borrowings at higher interest rates, often from the shadow banking market. This directly erodes margin and makes the financing of corporate expansion more costly. With increasing interest rates, there will be more pressure to liberate cash from within working capital, especially in sectors such as manufacturing and retail, which are typically cash hungry sectors. Working Capital is always the cheapest source of funds. Better working capital management can be achieved by tighter processes and tools, stronger management behaviour and cultural attitude, with a top down focus. Working capital is now on every Board agenda. In addition, companies are looking to new trade financing products that will improve working capital. One such trade financing product is Supply Chain Finance. This is now gaining ground in the China market. These programs, established for suppliers by buyers, enable third parties to settle suppliers approved invoices in full, when the supplier requires, for a small charge. Also known as reverse factoring, this helps total supply chain liquidity and we think its adoption in China, although slow to date, will catch up with Europe and North America levels. In short, tighter working capital management processes can ensure revenues and profits grow without value destruction. In times of lower growth, and liquidity crises, organisations with a stronger cash culture will be able to focus on their core businesses without distraction, and emerge stronger and leaner, being the first movers to expand and leverage their market position.

4 Globally and regionally in China, things have worsened ROCE has declined by 4% globally Significantly lower level of investment in CAPEX Spike in leverage 4% compound growth in net debt levels as a percentage of revenues (3-month interbank interest rate increased from 3.3% (Jan-17) to 5.4% (Dec-17)) Inventory & receivables performance has deteriorated NWC performance has only been maintained by a stretch in payables Only Aerospace and Hospitality sector in China managed to improve working capital since 2012 Companies in China had been delaying payments to suppliers to disguise the true working capital level Automotive is among the sectors with lowest NWC days, only because of its second highest DPO RMB 39.7 billion could be released from the balance sheets of Chinese listed companies by improving the net working capital of all sampled listed companies by 5% 2 PwC
5 Only when the tide goes out do you discover who s been swimming naked Warren Buffett Globally, ROCE has been decreasing and leverage increasing capital, companies cannot swim against the tide Economies are facing slow-down recently The latent problem of cash need starts to appear when cash becomes more expensive with rising interest rate Economies were not seriously affected due to the relatively low interest rate, but this is changing Companies are stuck at their current NWC position, and are looking for cheap sources of capital to fund their business On average for the 16 sectors detailed in our study, the NWC days performance has deteriorated by 33% from 2012 to 2016 All cash out? 2017 Working Capital Management China Market Study 3

14 Focus on automotive sector 12 PwC
15 Focus on automotive - A winding road ahead? The challenges facing the automotive sector today are huge: self-driving cars, interconnectivity, expansion through acquisition and collaboration, mobility services and car sharing. In order to fund these initiatives, automotive companies must have a strong balance sheet and controlled operating costs across the whole automotive chain, especially as China is experiencing an automotive slow down which leaves both OEMs and non-oems open to risk. However, weakness and risk are not the same across the automotive industry in China. In order to meet the capital demand for the challenges faced by the OEMs, they are jeopardising the supply chain by delaying payment to non OEMs. The leading OEMs in China have a range of working capital tied up in 2016 from -25 to 10 days, because they essentially hang on to their money (DPO in the range of 113 to 189 days). But the non OEM producers numbers tell a very different story. NWC days OEM (Chart 1) OEM DSO trend (Chart 2) (3) (10) (20) (30) (10) (9) (13) (16) (25) (26) (24) (24) (25) Upper quartile Median Lower quartile The above NWC analysis is based on 74 sampled leading automotive companies listed in China/HK All cash out? 2017 Working Capital Management China Market Study 13
16 OEM DIO trend (Chart 3) OEM DPO trend (Chart 4) Upper quartile Median Lower quartile Leading non OEMs performance in net working capital days varies from 47 to 167 days with a median of 98 days, in This is a total juxtaposition from OEM manufacturers performance and the trend has continued over the last 5 years (See Chart 1 and 5). The main driver of this result is the level of the receivables, i.e., the amount of money owed to the non OEMs by the OEMs. The leading non OEM DSO are high: it takes 142 days to get paid. The OEMs have transferred their problem of capital need upstream. In order to preserve cash, the leading non OEM companies inventories have fallen, but still standing at 106 days in To survive, the non OEMs could only further shift the burden upstream. The leading non OEM payables are at 128 days, whilst the international standard is 51 days for payables. This creates an unhealthy supply chain, which is out of gear, for the whole automotive industry in China. Hence the industry needs a rethink, with solutions that demonstrate partnership where Supply Chain Finance (SCF) might be the solution.

18 Effective and holistic Supply Chain Finance (SCF) can optimise working capital cycles for both buyers and suppliers while delivering more valuable liquidity. Also known as reverse factoring, SCF allows buyers to pay at an invoice s contracted maturity date, hence they retain their money longer; suppliers, in turn, can choose when they receive payments, beginning the day after the invoice is approved. SCF can help establish healthier, more trustworthy and longer-lasting relationships along the supply chain. On the other hand, it optimises working capital cycles for both the buyer and supplier by providing them with short-term credit for working capital, as well as better visibility and transparency in their collection and payment processes. SCF also enables both sides to access capital at a lower cost. The buyer is able to negotiate extended terms without delaying the actual payment to the seller, thereby retaining cash for other uses without impacting the supplier s cash flow. Conversely, the supplier has the option of receiving payment prior to the actual due date once the invoice has been approved by the buyer. 4 1 Supplier Lender settles invoice as soon as supplier requests payment Supplier delivers goods and sends invoice requesting payment according to standard terms, eg, 90 days 3 Supplier is able to trade the invoice in the system Supply chain finance as a holistic approach to unfreeze tied up working capital Buyer approves and submits invoice Lender Buyer 2 5 Buyer pays lender according to standard terms, eg, 90 days after receiving invoice The cost of capital is normally aligned with the buyer s credit risk. The amount due, on the other hand, is only paid by the buyer at the original due date. This optimises the cash conversion cycle of both companies and provides the supplier with enormous flexibility. It also improves readily available liquidity which, in turn, makes it possible for the supplier to offer more competitive prices and discounts. All of this is done through an external, independent platform, with lenders consisting of both banks and non-bank institutions. SCF eliminates unnecessary cash being tied up across the supply chain, and drives optimal usage of funds for both buyers and suppliers. 16 PwC
19 Basis of calculations and limitations Basis of calculations This study provides an overview of the working capital performance of companies listed in China/Hong Kong market. The Financial Services, Real Estate and Insurance sectors are excluded. Metric Definition Basis of calculation NWC days (net working capital days) DSO (days sales outstanding) DIO (days inventory outstanding) DPO (days payables outstanding) Indication of the total days to complete the full cash conversion cycle. DSO is a measure of the average number of days that a company takes to collect cash after the sale of goods or after services have been delivered. DIO gives an idea of how long it takes for a company to convert its inventory into sales. Generally, the lower (shorter) the DIO, the better. DPO is an indicator of how long a company takes to pay its trade creditors. DSO + DIO DPO Accounts receivable/sales x365 Inventories/cost of goods sold x365 Accounts payable/cost of goods sold x365 Methodology Industry data is based on the publicly available data (Capital IQ) of companies listed in China and Hong Kong. The industry categorisation is based on Capital IQ sector segmentation. Division in regions is based on the listed country available on Capital IQ. Limitations The research is based on publicly available information and all figures are financial year end figures. Due to the disproportionate efforts to improve working capital performance towards year end, the real underlying working capital requirement within reporting periods might be higher. Also, off balance sheet financing or the effect of asset securitisation have not been taken into account. All cash out? 2017 Working Capital Management China Market Study 17
