Rapid expansion of production capacity
26、we expect clinker capacity to reach 11.0 mn tonnes in 18 months is driving strong revenue and earnings growth, in our view. We expect average net income growth of 39% p.a. in 2000-04.

Trading at 7.3x EV/EBITDA and 9.0 x P/E in 2002F and at 5.0 x EV/EBITDA and 5.4x P/E in 2003F, Anhui Conch is attractively valued compared to its regional peers. We believe that Anhui Conch is the cheapest cement company in the region in terms
28、 of price-to-growth and EV/EBITDA-to-EBITDA growth. We are initiating coverage on Anhui Conch with a BUY recommendation and setting a 12-month target price of HK$2.7 representing 56% potential upside. Our target price is based on Anhui Conch trading at a 30% discount to our DCF calculation. At this

Simon Francis 662 614 6212 simon.francis Greater China Cement Sector 64 Executive summary Anhui Conch is the largest cement producer in China, with installed clinker capacity of 5.5 mn ton
30、nes and a cement capacity of 8.3 mn tonnes. The companys main markets are in and around Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Anhui Conch was listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange (914 HK) in 1997. Since then, the company has aggressively expanded production capacity and emerged as a leader in the
31、 Chinese cement sector. More expansion is planned, which should continue to drive earnings over the next few years. Rapid expansion of capacity is driving earnings Anhui Conch is the fastest-growing cement company in Asia. Clinker production capacity has doubled over the past four years to 5.5 mn to
32、nnes, and management plans further expansion to 11.0 mn tonnes by the end of 2002. This fuelled rapid EPS growth of 94% in 2000, and we forecast further EPS growth of 48% in 2001F, 20% in 2002F and 67% in 2003F. Right strategy in the worlds largest market We believe that Anhui Conch is well position
33、ed in the Chinese cement market, taking advantage of its government links to expand capacity on a tight budget. Unlike many cement companies in South-East Asia, we believe that the risk of Anhui Conch over-investing in new plant is small. Strong balance sheet The combination of the 1997 IPO proceeds
34、, low trade receivables (a common problem in the Chinese cement sector) and relatively cheap expansion means that, despite doubling in size over the past two years, gearing has remained fairly low. Net debt-to-equity is currently around 69%. How much gearing rises as a result of the expansion progra
35、mme will depend on whether Anhui Conch proceeds with plans to issue new A shares on the Shanghai exchange. We estimate that, without new equity, Anhui Conch can fund the expansion programme with gearing rising to 152%. In our view, this is not overly high, given: 1) the cost of borrowing is low at 5
36、.6% p.a., 2) interest cover is high reaching a trough of 4.9x in 2002F and 3) that gearing should fall quickly once the new lines come on stream. Anhui Conch is an under-researched company According to I/B/E/S, only eight analysts actively cover the stock. This is despite Anhui Conch being the large
37、st cement company in China and, arguably, the fastest-growing company in Asia in terms of production capacity, in our view. We expect that research coverage of Anhui Conch will improve over time, given the importance of the Chinese cement market and Anhui Conchs rapid growth. Valuations are attracti
