First 10k TEU containership on track. Yangzijiang is hosting a yard visit on 25 Sept in conjunction with the launching ceremony of its first 10k TEU containership. Launching is the most important stage of construction, marking the birth of a new ship. All the blocks are mounted and joined, and the vessel should be ready to "float" at this stage. The on-track construction progress of Yangzijiang's first large containership is a confidence booster.

Launching the first 10k TEU containership on schedule Raise FY14F earnings on better margins and order wins; FY15F earnings to benefit from property income Investment segment is well managed Best proxy to shipbuilding recovery in China; maintain BUY on higher TP of S$1.32

Raising the bar. The first batch of seven 10k TEU containership orders will likely yield better gross margins of 15-20% vs earlier expectation of low teens, in the light of favourable steel cost and forex as well as smooth execution. As such, we are lifting FY14F shipbuilding gross margins by 2ppts to 18%. We are also raising order win assumption for FY14 to US$2.5bn (from US$2bn), on the back of active shipbuilding enquiries and the sizeable US$2.87bn worth of options that could be exercised in the coming quarters. Taking these into account, our FY14F net profit is raised by 6.3% to Rmb2.2 bn. We have also introduced FY15 earnings and have incorporated property income from FY15. Maintain BUY; SOTP-based TP raised to S$1.32. We have changed our valuation methodology from price to book, to SOTP, to better reflect valuation for the various segments of shipbuilding, investment and property. While some investors have concerns regarding Yangzijiang's investment segment, it is a supplementary business for Yangzijiang and its weighting should fall as the shipbuilding segment recovers. Bad debts have been minimal with proper evaluation processes and risk management procedures in place. As one of the most cost efficient yards in China, Yangzijiang is the best proxy to the shipbuilding recovery. Maintain BUY. At A Glance Issued Capital (m shrs) Mkt.

Delivery on track. The construction progress of the first two 10k TEU containership is on track for delivery in April’14 and June’14. The second unit will be ready for launch 1-2 months later. The first unit is constructed in Yangzijiang’s New Yard while the second one is at the Xinfu yard, the designated yard for big vessels. Construction for both vessels is expected to take 18 months. This should get shorter over time as Yangzijiang becomes more efficient and familiar with building large size containerships. Better than expected margins. Yangzijiang has 11 units of 10k TEU containerships on order from Seaspan, scheduled for delivery in 2014-2015. The first batch of seven units awarded in June 2011 were priced at US$100m each while the second batch of four units awarded in Jan 2013 were contracted at

Page 2

US$90m each. While gross margins were initially expected to be in the low teens, we reckon Yangzijiang could churn 1520% gross margins for the first few units in view of the favourable steel price and forex as well as smooth execution. As such, we are lifting our FY14F shipbuilding gross margins by 2ppts to 18%. Lifting order wins assumption. We are also raising our order wins assumption for FY14 to US$2.5bn, on the back of active shipbuilding enquiries and the sizeable US$2.87bn worth of options that will progressively be exercised in the coming quarters. We estimate that Yangzijiang’s net order book stands at US$3.7bn currently, translating to healthy book to bill ratio of 1.7x. The yard’s capacity is rather full for 2015 based on current contracts, and the options will largely fill up yard capacity for 2016. New orders other than the options will be slated for delivery in 2017. Raising FY14F net profit by 6%. The better margins and order win assumptions will raise our FY14F net profit by 6.3% to Rmb2.2bn. Incorporating property income into FY15F earnings. We introduce FY15F earnings forecast, which includes property income. As a recap, Yangzijiang established a new subsidiary, 50%-owned Jiangsu Huaxi Yangzi Real Estate Co, to jointly develop the old yard’s land with Jiangsu Huaxi Property Development (40%) and Jiangsu Huadu Real Estate (10%), which are both wholly-owned by A-share listed property company, Jiangsu Huaxichun Ltd. We project property income to contribute Rmb155m (or 7%) to Yangzijiang’s bottomline in FY15 based on the following assumptions: GFA Plot ratio Land cost Construction cost Finance cost ASP

Investment in financial assets well managed Parked with moderate risk funds. More than 90% of the value of Yanzijiang’s financial investments are parked with reliable and moderate risk trust funds (held to maturity (HTM) financial assets), backed by high quality collateral. This compares to micro financing, which is relatively riskier given

Company Focus Yangzijiang Shipbuilding

the nature of lending to SMEs and half of the collaterals are harder to liquidate. As such, micro-financing investment is capped at Rmb1.2bn (6% of market cap) and so far, bad debts have been <1%.

Fig 2: Investment in HTM financial assets

Riskier, not riskiest. On the back of healthy operating profits, better payment terms than peers and good cash flow management, Yangzijiang remains in net cash (inclusive of financial assets) at Rmb6.5bn as of end-June 2013. Management has invested Rmb12.3bn of cash in the Held-toMaturity (HTM) financial assets and Rmb0.9bn in Micro Finance in an effort to maximise returns to shareholders. HTM yields 10-12% returns while micro finance churns higher returns of c.20%.

Fig 3: The structure of trust funds

We attempt to clarify a few major doubts and misperceptions that investors have in relation to Yangzijiang’s investments:

with brief explanation). This investment class accounted for >90% of Yangzijiang’s investments.

Doubt #1: Does the cash exist? HTM financial assets are essentially investments in trust funds, which eventually provide financing predominantly to established or listed companies. Trust funds are managed by trust companies that are set up by the Chinese banks, which are accessible and credible (Please refer to fig 3 for the structure of trust funds

The remaining <10% is micro finance, which is direct lending to SMEs mainly in Jiangsu. Investment amount is relatively small, capped at Rmb1.2bn or 7% of NTA. We believe Yangzijiang’s auditor, PWC, one of the big four global auditing firms, engaged since IPO in 2007, would have done their part to verify the investment.

Page 3

Company Focus Yangzijiang Shipbuilding

Doubt #2: High default risk; investment income vulnerable to customer defaults. Yangzijiang has formed a special investment committee, comprising 20 externally hired professionals with expertise in banking (management level), to evaluate investment risks of each trust fund. Each committee member will be responsible for the investment that he/she approves ie. penalties will be imposed for bad debts. All investments are backed by collaterals that are c.2x covered on average and margin call will be made when the investment value falls below the threshold. Prompt actions will be taken when any borrower misses interest payments. So far, Yangzijiang has not recorded any bad debts for HTM. As a prudent measure, the company has made a bad debt provision, amounting to 5% of the value of financial assets.

Micro Finance is a little tricky. While average coverage ratio is also high at 2-3x, only about half of the collaterals are liquid assets like mortgage and property. Collaterals on shares can be listed or unlisted shares and the latter will be difficult to dispose. Receivables and acceptance bills charges are tougher to liquidate. Personnel guarantees are among the riskiest collaterals as 3rd party guarantors may default on payment as well. Fig 5: Collateral breakdown and coverage ratio for HTM

As for Micro Finance, so far, bad debts have been minimal at <1% of total investments, lower than the 4% bad debt provision made.

Fig 4: Breakdown of borrowers (HTM)

Source: Company

Doubt #3: The collaterals are hard to value and liquidate. There were a couple of liquidation cases but Yangzijiang managed to recoup all of the investments made for HTM and the bulk of the value for Micro Finance.

Source: Company

Fig 6: Collateral breakdown for Micro Finance

For HTM, the value of land collateral is benchmarked against the neighbouring land plots, and the coverage ratio is high at c. 3x. The shares pledged (2x coverage ratio) are listed shares that could be easily traded in the secondary market. Other forms of collateral are government guarantees and bank guarantees etc while other-government related collaterals refer to lending to government related entities. These are relatively safe as well.

Doubt #4: Is Yangzijiang diversifying away from shipbuilding? Management remains focus on its core business of shipbuilding. Financial investments, property and shipping logistics are only supplementary revenue streams to help the company weather through the shipbuilding downturn. Fig 7: Business chart

Switching to SOTP Valuation BUY, SOTP-based TP of S$1.32. We have changed our valuation methodology to SOTP, to better reflect the valuation for the various segments - shipbuilding, investment and property. We arrive at a new TP of S$1.32, after applying 10x FY14F PE on revised shipbuilding earnings; 1x P/BV for Investment; and 25% discount to NPV of its property project. This translates to 12x FY14F PE and 1.3x FY14 P/BV (vs 1.2x previously), which are undemanding in view of Yangzijiang’s ROE of 12% amid the industry downturn and order win catalyst from the shipbuilding recovery.
