China Auto Drivers Volume up, inventory down - again Prepare for peak season: Low inventory is good news for OEMs and dealers. As we move away from the 3Q low season and enter the 4Q peak season, we notice that inventory continued to come down in mid- September, which allows OEMs to push volume harder toward the strong season. Our latest findings on inventory and sales volume include: Sales grew 12% YoY in the first half of September: 1) SUVs saw the strongest momentum, at 30% YoY, featuring Great Wall s Haval, VW s Tiguan and Kia s Sportage R. 2) Mid-range brands grew moderately, at 16% YoY. 3) Sedans grew only 9% YoY, affirming our view that the strong growth in SUVs is at the expense of sedans, as Chinese customers tend to prefer larger cars. Dealers inventory dropped further: Overall inventory in the distribution channel fell further, to ~0.85 months by mid-september vs. 0.93 at end-august and the YTD high of 1.36 in early May. An improvement in inventory was seen across almost every segment and brand we track. Key observations include: 1) Inventory days dropped in all segments, but most noticeably at the low end, from ~0.8 months at end-august to ~0.7 months in mid- September. 2) Thanks to the E-class facelift and the introduction of the 2014 version of C-class, Benz s inventory days dropped the most among the three German luxury brands, from ~1.1 months at end-august to ~0.9 months in mid-september. Japanese brands declined from ~1.1-1.2 to ~0.8-1. Hyundai fell slightly, from ~0.88 to ~0.84. Great Wall also dropped from ~1.1 to ~0.7. Geely s inventory days dropped further, to ~0.63 from ~0.75, and is still the lowest among the 13 major brands we track in China. Store traffic further increased, to 4% MoM in mid-september. This increase was seen across all segments as we move into the 4Q peak season. We expect store traffic to continue trending up toward year-end. Recommendations: Our preference is for OEMs over parts or dealers for OEMs stronger pricing power, although there is a possibility that the entire sector could rally together into peak season. We like Geely, Great Wall and Guangzhou Auto. Automobile Manufacture Nick Lai AC Bloomberg JPMA LAI <GO> J.P.

Store traffic increased further, to 4% MoM in mid-september. The improvement in store traffic was seen across segments, from the high end to the low end. Yet the high- and low-end segments grew faster (~6% MoM) than the mid-range (~3% MoM). Of note is that high-end segment has been the most volatile segment since May 2013. The recovery in August store traffic could be associated with seasonality, as the base period (July) is normally the weakest month of the year. However, with a high base in 4Q12, our base case is that overall PV sales growth will decelerate in 2H13 with the full year at 10% vs. 14% in 1H13. 4

Table 3: Summary of PTs and risks Company Ticker Rtg Share (HK$) price PT 18-Sep (HK$) Brilliance 1114 China HK OW 12.24 13.0 China 1728 ZhengTong HK N 5.03 5.5 DongFeng Motor 489 HK UW 11.08 8.5 Great Wall Motor 175 HK OW 42.05 46.0 Geely Auto 2333 HK OW 4.10 7.5 PT analysis We remain OW, and our Jun-13 PT of HK$13 is based on a 13x forward P/E. This is based on the average and middle of the company s historical trading range (~9-17x) in the last couple of years. We believe this is reasonable considering the company s exposure to China s luxury boom, but also in light of increasing competition in China in 2H13-2014. Our PT also incorporates revised forecasts. In the Chinese luxury car segment, Brilliance is our preferred pick. We are Neutral, and our Jun-14 PT of HK$5.5 is based on an SOTP analysis where we examine and differentiate underlying values between aftermarket and new car sales businesses. We estimate ZhengTong s after-service business alone is worth HK$4.0/share (on a DCF basis). This implies the market is currently paying a low multiple for the company s new car sales, accessory and future car finance businesses. This is potentially aggressive, in our view, although we also recognize that valuation itself is rarely a share price catalyst. Our Jun-14 PT of HK$8.5 is based on a FY13E P/E of 6.5x and a DCF analysis. This multiple is the middle of DFM s historical trough valuation of 5-8x forward P/E. Given our expectation that DFM will be undergoing a de-rating (due to competition from entry-level luxury brands and weak truck demand), we believe that applying an average trough valuation is reasonable. In our DCF analysis, our key assumptions include a riskfree rate of 5%, risk premium 6%, WACC of 12% and terminal growth of 2%. We remain OW on GWM, and our Jun-14 PT of HK$46 represents 11x forward P/E, the high end of GWM s historical trading band (largely 8-12x). We believe this is not demanding, considering the company s strong volume and earnings momentum in 2H13-2014. We remain OW on Geely, and our Jun-14 PT of HK$7.5 is based on a 13.5x forward P/E, the higher end of its historical trading band, but in line with GWM when it rerated in 2009-11 and its P/E multiple expanded from 5x to 18x. This may sound aggressive, but we believe it is not, considering Geely s rapid expected growth in the next three to four years, which suggests a PEG of only 0.5-0.6x. Similarly, during GWM s rerating cycle, its P/E multiple expanded from ~5x to 18x. Considering Geely s strong model line-ups in both sedans and the SUV business in 2H13-2014E, JV development with Volvo in 2014 and consensus earnings upgrades (which have been the case since 4Q12), we believe our PT is achievable.. Risks to PT and analysis Key downside risks include weaker-thanexpected sales volume of BMW s cars in China and a sharper-than-expected price cut in China s auto market, including the luxury segment that Brilliance focuses on. We are also cautious about any higher-than-anticipated loss from mini-bus and future new energy car business. Key upside and downside risks include: (1) better- or worse-than-expected sales volume and margins; (2) ability to refinance upcoming due Rmb2.0bn debt and lower interest in 4Q13. Key upside risks include: (1) better-thanexpected sales of Japanese cars in China, including DFM s Nissan and Honda vehicles; (2) stronger-than-expected margin improvement for its passenger and commercial vehicle businesses; (3) higher-than-expected dividend payout and hence higher yield. Key downside risks include worse-thanexpected competition in SUVs and pickup trucks, both of which are Great Wall s target segments. Also, policy risks such as car purchase restrictions can lead to negative sentiment in the broader auto market in China. Key downside risks to our PT include: lowerthan-expected sales volume of Geely s sedan and SUV businesses and lower-than-expected margins on heightening competitive pressure, along with an oversupply in the passenger vehicle sector in 2H13-14E, leading to a worsethan-expected price war. Slower-than-expected development and cooperation with Volvo Car is another potential swing to the company s longer-term profitability and share price performance. 6
GAC 2238 HK OW 8.63 12.0 Minth 425 HK N 14.86 12.0 Baoxin Auto 1293 HK N 7.19 7.0 Zhongsheng 881 HK UW 12.00 7.5 Sinotruk 3808 HK UW 3.99 3.7 Source: Bloomberg, J.P. Morgan estimates. We remain OW on GAC and expect consensus to catch up with our 2014/15 estimates. Our Jun-14 PT of HK$12 is based on an expected re-rating multiple of 14x and a DCF analysis. We believe this target is achievable considering GAC s estimated robust profit rebound in the next two years. In our DCF analysis, key assumptions include a risk-free rate of 5%, a risk premium of 6% and terminal growth of 2%. We maintain a Neutral rating on Minth. Our Jun-14 PT of HK$12 is based on a 10x forward P/E, which is the average of Minth s historical average since 2008. We believe this approach is reasonable considering the company s improving sales momentum in Japanese brands and higher cash dividend payout of 40% this year (vs. 30% in the last few years). This places Minth at the highest payout among auto companies in our coverage universe in the China auto space. Our Jun-14 PT of HK$7.00 is based on an SOTP analysis where we examine the underlying value between aftermarket and new car sales businesses. We estimate Baoxin s AM business alone is worth HK$5.00/share (on a DCF basis). On the new car sales business, we assign an industry average P/E of 10x, which we consider reasonable in a stabilizing pricing environment in the dealership business. Our Jun-14 PT of HK$7.5 is based on a 9x forward P/E and our DCF analysis. Our target multiple is at a slight discount to the overall PV market, given our preference for OEMs over dealers. We maintain our UW rating on Sinotruk. Our Jun-14 PT of HK$3.7 is based on a conservative P/B multiple of 0.4x. We believe this is reasonable, as 0.4x is the trough valuation of the company s historical trading band (largely 0.5-1.0x). This is based on our longerterm cautious stance on China s truck sector. Key downside risks include: (1) worse-thanexpected sales volumes and margins; and (2) a failure of new model launches in 2H13-2015. Key downside risks include weaker-thanexpected passenger vehicle sales and a price war in China s passenger vehicle sector, forcing OEMs to cut their purchase prices of auto parts. Key upside risks include value-accretive M&A in the Japanese auto parts market and a fasterand sharper-than-expected recovery in China s car market. Key upside and downside risks include: (1) better- or worse-than expected sales volumes and margins; and (2) a better- or worse-than anticipated macro environment and credit conditions in China in 2H13. Key upside risks include: (1) better-thanexpected improvement in Japanese brands in China in 2H13; (2) Benz reversing its sales momentum and catching up with peers BMW and Audi in China; and (3) higher-thananticipated support from automakers in the form of rebates or subsidies to dealers. Key upside risks include: (1) stronger-thanexpected heavy-truck demand in 2H13-2013E; and (2) another major economic stimulus from the government. 7
