 双反调查严重影响了忠旺的盈利能力。由于 4 月 28 日美国国际贸易委员会作出行业损 害认定,美国商务部将据此发出反倾销令和反补贴令,公司实际已几乎失去美国市 场。澳大利亚于 2010 年 10 月 28 日确认了双反调查的结果,但税率远较美国为轻。我 们注意到公司去年四季度对澳大利亚出口似乎并未受澳大利亚双反的影响,与三季度 销售基本持平,然而一季度再次大幅下滑 76%。我们认为这固然有可能是因为公司需要 集中精力开发国内市场,但澳大利亚市场很可能也受到了双反调查的影响。我们假定 今年出口在一季度基础上有小幅回升,而国内销量则上升 30%以弥补出口市场的大幅 下滑。

 我们认为去年四季度和今年一季度最适合用来预测公司未来的赢利能力,因为该期间 内,公司出口急剧下降,几乎失去美国市场,对澳大利亚出口也大幅下滑。公司对于 国内市场的依存度在这两个季度高达 87%和 95%。 平均单位加工费也跌至 2006 年以来 的最低点。我们相信除非公司能找到新的强劲出口市场(在贸易保护主义盛行的今天 殊非易事),公司将不得不更加依赖国内市场,忍受国内市场的激烈竞争和低加工 费,平均单位加工费将在去年四季度和今年一季度的低点附近徘徊,公司对国内市场 依存度也将维持在 90%左右(除非公司能找到其他大的出口市场)。在此基础上,我 们预计公司 2011 和 2012 年每股收益为人民币 0.13 和 0.19 元。

目。高附加值铝压延材主要包括铝中厚板、高端铝箔、高端铝带等,主要应用于航空 航天、船舶、轨道交通、汽车、机械设备、包装及电子等领域。我们估计该项目将需 要两到三年时间开始生产。我们相信,公司未来的价值将取决于这一项目的成败,因 为公司股价中有 60%价值来自于公司的净现金。但由于公司没有披露这一项目的细 节,并且我们认为该项目不确定性很大,我们暂时没有在盈利预测和估值中考虑这一 项目。

 我们用现金流折现、股息折现和 EV/EBITDA 三种方法估值,得出目标价 3.33 港币, 对应 20.6 倍 2011 年每股收益和 15.0 倍 2012 年每股收益,对应公司股票最新收盘价 有 0.6%的升幅。我们使用比较谨慎的假设条件得到这一目标价。由于目前缺乏明确的 催化剂,并且公司高附加值铝压延材项目不确定性很大(我们认为公司目前正处于痛 苦的转型期),我们给予公司“中性”评级。

Investment highlights:  Antidumping and countervailing investigations will severely harm Zhongwang’s profitability The company has been barred from the US market after a recent determination by the US International Trade Commission. Exports to Australia also appear to have been negatively impacted by the investigations.  We believe that 4Q10 & 1Q11 provide the most accurate basis for estimating the company’s future profitability These quarters saw a sharp decline in exports – there were almost no exports to the US – while the company’s average unit processing fee fell to its lowest level since 2006. We estimate that the company will now have to derive around 90% of its revenue from the domestic market, assuming it is unable to find other large export markets. As a result, Zhongwang will likely suffer from intense competition in the domestic market and the average unit processing fee will remain around the low levels seen in 4Q10 and 1Q11. On this basis, we forecast the company’s FY11 and FY12 EPS will be RMB0.13 and RMB0.19 respectively.  We expect the company to invest heavily in high-value-added flat rolled products, consisting mainly of medium-to-high thickness plates, high-end foils and sheets. These products serve sectors such as aerospace, shipping vessels, railway transportation, automobile, machinery equipment, packaging and electronics. We estimate that it will take around 2-3 years for the project to start production. The success of these products is vital to the company’s future outlook. We believe that the company’s share price is currently fairly priced and that Zhongwang’s future value depends heavily on whether the new project creates or destroys value, as 60% of the stock’s value is derived from company’s significant net cash position. As the company has not disclosed further details about the new project and various uncertainties remain, we have not taken this project into account in our forecasts and valuation.  Our DCF, DDM and EV/EBITDA valuation analysis resulted in a target price of HK$3.33 This price represents 20.6x FY11E P/E and 15.0x FY12E P/E, and implies 1% upside potential from the latest closing price. We believe our assumptions are prudent and feel that the company will experience a painful turnaround. Due to a lack of upside catalysts and ongoing uncertainty surrounding the company’s high-end rolled product projects, we have given the company a NEUTRAL rating.

Investment Case Valuation and Target Price China Zhongwang (1333 HK, Neutral, HK$3.33) After assessing the negative impact of antidumping and countervailing duties imposed after investigations into the firm’s practices in Australia and the US, our forecast for EPS in FY11 & 12 is RMB0.13 & 0.19 respectively. Our target price of HK$3.33 was determined using a blended valuation of DCF, DDM and EV/EBITDA analysis, and implies 20.6x FY11 earnings and 15.0x FY12 earnings. We feel that the company’s shares are fairly priced and have downgraded the company rating to Neutral due to lack of foreseeable upside catalysts and an uncertain future.

Key Assumptions We assume that the company’s sales results will continue the trend observed in 4Q10 and 1Q11, with at least 80% of company sales to remain domestic after the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations in the US and Australia. Export sales will decline significantly to a negligible level while domestic sales volume will partially compensate for the loss of export markets with a 30% increase. Domestic sales are expected to then grow at 15% in 2012 and 2013, in line with the industry. Processing fees will remain at the low levels seen in the last two quarters as higher domestic dependency will inevitably result in much lower margins, in line with the domestic industry.

How we differ from consensus We believe that recent share price underperformance reflects the company’s difficulties in export markets, and that the market has now priced in the loss of these markets. However, we believe huge uncertainties still remain as we are cautious about the perspective of the new investment project as 60% of the share price comes from its net cash position. We think it is still risky to buy the share while concerns over the company’s future are always lingering.

Upside catalysts 1. Entry into other large export markets. 2. Earlier-than-expected initiation of the new project, favorable market conditions

Downside catalysts 1. Tight competition resulting in further declines in processing fees and sales volume in domestic markets. 2. Failure of the new project.

Uncertain future Loss of the US market appears inevitable At the end of March 2011, the US Department of Commerce imposed an antidumping duty of 33.28% and a countervailing duty of 374.15% on certain imports of aluminum extrusion products from China, including Zhongwang products. On April 28, 2011, the US International Trade Commission issued the final affirmative injury determination on imports of aluminum extrusion products from China (excluding finished heat sinks). As a result, the Department of Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on the relevant products. Zhongwang will therefore essentially lose access to the US market. Dalian local foreign trade authorities have also confirmed that two of Zhongwang’s export dealers ceased aluminum extrusion exports from the local bonded area, leading to an export reduction of US$474m in 1Q11 YoY (broadly in line withl the company’s entire exports in 1Q10; RMB2.7B). US sales for 4Q10 and 1Q11 were almost nonexistent as importers looked to other providers after the initiation of the trade case. Australian sales continue to drop significantly On October 28, 2010, Australia imposed an antidumping duty of 18.4% and a countervailing duty of 25.7% on certain imports of aluminum extrusion products from China, including those produced by Zhongwang. Despite 4Q10 sales remaining at the same level as 3Q10, 1Q11 revenue in the Australian market dropped significantly, most likely due to the impact of duties. We conservatively estimate that Australian revenue will increase slightly but not significantly improve over the rest of the year. Unit industrial processing fees will likely remain in-line with 4Q10 & 1Q11 levels The company uses a cost-plus pricing strategy and usually passes on the entire aluminum ingot cost to downstream customers, so processing fees are particularly relevant when forecasting the company’s profitability. After analyzing the impact of antidumping and countervailing investigations by the US and Australia, we estimate that the company’s average processing fee will be in line with the levels seen in 4Q10 & 1Q11 as sales will be largely skewed toward the domestic market, where processing fees are roughly one third of those in the export markets.

Higher ASP due to higher ingot costs.

Sales volume growth is increasingly dependant on the domestic market. We have assumed higher export sales for 2011 than the annualized level of 1Q11. This implies that export volume will decline substantially – by 95% - to 5,600 tonnes. The domestic market will therefore have to absorb more of the company’s production. The company’s industrial products division is likely to produce 282,000 tonnes in 2011, down 12% YoY, while the company’s construction division will produce 17,000 tonnes as it gradually withdraws from the segment. We have assumed 15% growth in line with the domestic market growth rate, and forecast a sales volume rebound for the company’s industrial segment, with production at 325,000 tonnes and 373,000 tonnes in 2012 & 2013 respectively. Construction division output will gradually decline to 12,000 tonnes and 8,000 tonnes in 2012 & 2013 respectively. 本研究报告仅通过邮件提供给 申银万国香港公司 Daniel Weil([email protected]) 使用。7

Details and future prospects of the new flat rolled project are unclear at present. The company will launch high-value-added flat rolled products in the future. We believe that the company will focus on plates and strips as there are already numerous competitors in the foil segment, while more than 400,000 tonnes of plates and strips are imported from abroad annually. We believe the company will target the importsubstitution market, and estimate that 2 or 3 years are required before the project enters the production phase. The company is expected to invest heavily in the project; we estimate it could require investment of RMB67B, assuming capacity of 500,000 tonnes. The GPM of these projects could be around 25-30%. However we are very cautious about the project’s prospects as domestic competitors (such as Southwest Aluminum, Asia Aluminum, Alcoa, Nannan Aluminum, etc) are building or planning similar projects which also target the import-substitution market.

Domestic industrial extrusion market to grow at 10~20% Aluminum is processed into different forms of semi-finished product using alternative technologies, while extrusion represents the largest share of total semis production. Extrusion production accounted for 47% of total Chinese aluminum semis production in 2009 (16.9M tonnes).

Construction is the largest segment in both the Chinese and US markets consumption structure of extrusion products are similar in t We compared the consumption structure of extrusion products in both China and the US, and found that although construction is the largest segment in both markets the share attributable to industrial applications is much larger in the US, especially in the transportation, consumer durables and machinery & equipment sectors.

We believe that with rapid development and upgrades in the Chinese manufacturing industry the consumption structure of extrusion products in China will gradually converge with that of the US, which means that the growth rate of industrial products will outpace that of construction products and also that the industrial segment will represent a larger share of the Chinese extrusion market. This trend has been observed in recent years. The shares of transportation, machinery & equipment, consumer durable and electrical sectors have increased by 4.6%, 5.1%, 1.5% & 0.7% respectively between 2001-2009, while construction’s share declined 9.1% over the same period.

However, as Zhongwang used to export almost 50% of its industrial products, its domestic market share in this segment is only around 8%. As the company shifts its focus to the domestic market we estimate that it could boost domestic sales volume by 30% this year (compared with estimated market growth of 15%), thereby increasing its market share to 9%. It would achieve this through greater marketing efforts and its competitive edge in providing integrated solutions to clients. Chart 12: Zhongwang’s domestic industrial market share is 8% in 2009

As a result we have forecast a low level of sales revenue and net income in 2011 with a gradual recovery occurring in 2012, while gross margins are expected to fall from 40% to pre-2008 levels (~20%) to reflect the lower margin in the domestic market.

Our sensitivity analysis suggests that FY11 earnings will be much more sensitive to domestic market dynamics. If the company performs well in the domestic market, earnings should be considerably improved from the low base level forecast for 2011. We believe that the key to success in the domestic market will be to avoid sharp declines in processing fees whilst increasing market share with high-end products.

Valuation is fair We applied DCF, DDM & EV/EBITDA to the value of Zhongwang. As the company is currently undergoing a major turnaround we believe that an absolute valuation is more suitable than a PER valuation. It also has a track record of dividend distribution and a founding shareholder with control over 70% of the company’s shares, providing an incentive to maintain a high dividend distribution as long as the large net cash position does not deteriorate. We also feel that EV/EBITDA valuation is suitable for the company as it will not distort the resulting value when compared to similar companies with different financial structures. DCF valuation results in TP of HK$3.87 Our model applied a risk-free rate of 3.7%, an equity risk premium of 7%, and a beta of 0.83 to determine that the cost of equity is equal to 9.53%. Considering the company’s impending heavy investment in its new project, we used a debt-to-equity ratio of 60% and a cost of debt of 5.5%. With an effective tax rate of 25% we calculated our WACC as 7.5%. Our revenue estimate in the semi-explicit stage grew at 10% for 5 years, and then at 0% in the terminal stage, while EBIT margins gradually declined to 2% in the long term. Our price target for the end of 2011 was HK$3.87.. Table 4: DCF valuation: 3-year explicit stage, 5 year semi-explicit stage & Terminal stage million yuan

DDM valuation results in TP of HK$2.99 Our cost of equity, derived earlier, is 9.53%. We assumed a 25% payout ratio for the years 2011-2013, and 70% for 2014-2018 while net income was set to grow at only 6%. For the terminal stage (2019 onward), we assumed a 100% payout ratio with no growth. This resulted in a target price of HK$2.99 for the end of 2011.

EV/EBITDA Valuation results in TP of HK$3.12 Considering the company’s significant net cash position, we believe EV/EBITDA is much more relevant than PER. We believe that Midas holdings (1021 HK) is an appropriate company to compare to Zhongwang as both are operating in the aluminum extrusion market, although Midas is focused on the high-margin passenger rail transportation sector. As Midas’ average unit processing fee is around RMB20,000/tonne (VAT 本研究报告仅通过邮件提供给 申银万国香港公司 Daniel Weil([email protected]) 使用。15

inclusive), which is in line with the niche market average and much higher than Zhongwang’s RMB10,126/tonne in average, we feel it is reasonable to assume that Zhongwang should trade at a discount to Midas in terms of EV/EBITDA. We utilize 3x FY11 EBITDA (a 60% discount to Midas) to produce a price target of HK$3.12. The discount is justified by our forecasts that Zhongwang will be around 50% lower compared to Midas in terms of processing fees, 48% lower in terms of gross margin and 58% lower in terms of Return on equity.

Source: Company, Bloomberg SWS Research Note: we adjust Bloomberg consensus for Midas Holdings as we observe two significant outliners in consensus estimate

Consensus EV/EBITDA valuations for Midas Holdings are at a significantly low level compared to other players in the extrusion market. This is mainly due to the recent release of two significantly higher earnings estimates. The market appears to have not factored these in as the price of Midas shares has not rallied. As a result, we exclude these distorted earnings estimates to arrive at an adjusted 2011E EV/EBITDA of Midas Holdings at 7.4x. The three valuation methods provide a range of HK$2.99 to HK$3.87. The average of these figures – HK$3.33 – is our target price and is basically in line with the most recent closing price.

New investment project not included in analysis We have not factored in the potential impact of the new project likely to be commissioned in several years as details are presently lacking, and the project is unlikely to impact the share performance in the near term. We believe that capital investment for the project could be significant as market rumors suggest that the company is preparing to issue RMBdenominated debentures despite its RMB10B net cash position. Around 60% of the company’s value comes from this net cash position, and as such a future valuation of Zhongwang would depend heavily on whether it can create value by investing net cash, most likely in the aforementioned investment opportunity. As the details and prospects of the new investment project remain unclear, and key upside catalysts are lacking in the near term, our rating on the company is Neutral.
