From 2014 to 2016, the GDP growth speed of these provinces slightly slowed down and experienced modest growth in 1H17. We see the great potential of the “Integration in Jing-Jin-Ji Area” policy in coming 3-5 years to realign functions and priorities of the areas and cities surrounding the capital and the Northern China region. As regional economy continuously developed, the disposable income per capita kept increasing in these northern cities. Beijing as capital reported highest level of disposable income per capita around 52,530 RMB in 2016 (3-y CAGR=8.76%), while Tianjin and Inner Mongolia delivered fastest growth in terms of citizen disposable income with CAGR of 8.9%.

Hop Hing Group (47.HK) Company Report

China Catering Business Analysis According to National Bureau of Statistics of PRC (NBS), in 2015 Chinese catering industry and QSR sector reported turnover of RMB434bn/95.7bn respectively. Catering industry generally achieved a CAGR of 9.12% from 2009 to 2015, while the QSR sector recorded a higher CAGR (12%). After being sluggish during 2012 to 2014, catering revenue and QSR revenue started to rebound since 2015. We see that QSR sector accounted for only 22% of total industry turnover in 2015. Given the limited-service restaurants contributed over 50% to US catering industry turnover in 2015, we see quite room for QSR business to develop in China.

Source: NBS of PRC, Phillip Securities Quick Service Restaurant Business Analysis According to the China Restaurant Industry Survey Report for Financial Year 2016, published by China Hotel Association, the fast food consumption in PRC recorded 11.73% YoY growth in 2016. Amid the main segments of QSR industry, processed food and take-away sales accounted for significant portion, given the fast-paced lifestyle and great accessibility in urban areas. Meanwhile, E-commerce posted the highest YoY growth (21.65%) and constituted nearly 30% of fast food revenue, attributable to quick development of delivery industry.

We see that the “four highs”, namely high raw material, labor, rental and utility costs, continued to adversely impact on the profitability of QSR business. In 2016, the “four high” together made up over 50% of the turnover. Labor cost rose most dramatically to account for 10.8% of the revenue, while raw material cost and rental expense recorded modest increase.

Online ordering market in PRC has been developing quickly since 2011. According to iiMedia Research data, as up to 2016, the online ordering sales reached RMB166bn (33% YoY) with a 5-year CARG of 50% from 2011 to 2016. About 45% clients order food through Internet more than four times a week. Many consumers indicate that they choose online ordering because it is time-saving and providing various food choices. Over 35% consumers prefer online ordering because they enjoy eating alone and private time. In future the online ordering market is expected to grow more stably and achieve more than RMB240bn turnover in 2018. Figure: Online Ordering Market in PRC from 2011 to 2018

Source: iiMedia Research, Phillip Securities When buying food online, the consumers place most importance on delivery speed and food safety. iiMedia Research’s survey shows that 66% online shoppers think that delivery speed is the most critical factor when choosing an restaurant online. 59.4% consumers think food safety is essential and they are concerned that

takeaway food may be not clean enough. In order to satisfy client demand and capture more market share, a market player should pay much attention to improve food accessibility, ensure food safety and provide quality service to consumers. Figure: Factors Impact Online Shoppers When Choosing Online Platform

Source: iiMedia Research, Phillip Securities Regulators continue to promote regulation to help the industry develop more healthily. In July 2016, the China FDA issued “Measures for investigating and handling on violations of Internet food safety”. The measures aim to regulate online food transaction, specifying sellers’ responsibility in food production, sales and distribution. It is required that food providers should build information tracking system for the materials and products, and online food store without business license and physical shop should be shut down. The government tends to improve food quality and safety during transaction and distribution in order to protect consumers’ rights. As the regulation improves, we believe the qualified shops and restaurants will benefit from more orderly and healthy competition. Tax policy is favorable for catering industry. Chinese government replaces business tax with value-added tax (VAT) from May 2016, which will mitigate enterprises’ tax burden, since tax burden becomes the difference between output tax and input tax rather than business tax which is 5% of revenue. The cancellation of duplicated taxation will help businesses to save fund for expanding scale, improve operation efficiency and service quality. Business Analysis Overview As up to Jun 30 2017, HHG operates 481 fast food chains with brands including Yoshinoya, DQ, etc. Business in Jing-Jin-Ji area contributes majority of HHG’s revenue. In 1H17, 75% of the revenue came from Jing-Jin-Ji area, while other four provinces (namely Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia) contributed 25% to the topline. In terms of brands, during the first half Yoshinoya recorded sales of RMB 1,572mn accounting for 85% of total sales while DQ delivered sales of RMB172mn making up 11% of revenue. Meanwhile, six distribution centers in Beijing, Dalian, Shenyang, Harbin, Tianjin and HuHeHaoTe, were primarily established to store, process and repackage food to be distributed to the franchise stores.

It is famous for the specialty Gyudon (beef bowls) and also provides a series of taste choices, such as chicken bowls, pork bowls, etc. Yoshinoya targets younger generation who are relatively price-sensitive and the average spending of customer is around RMB30. HHG now operates 317 Yoshinoya shops in PRC. However, dragged by sluggish economy environment, sales of Yoshinoya decreased from 2012 to 2016 showing negative growth.

Hop Hing Group (47.HK) Company Report

Three factors contribute to revenue recovery. In 1H17, the brand achieved HD$891mn sales with 4.93% YoY growth, arising from the development of delivery service, expansion of stores network and enriched product portfolio. 1) Enhancement of delivery service: increasing delivery sales now contribute about 30% to sales of Yoshinoya. HHG continues to enhance the self-operated delivery platforms and cooperate with popular online catering platforms to increase brand exposure and enhance customer outreach. In Beijing, HHG’s biggest market, the own delivery team of 1000 staff covers over 200 stores and assures stable delivery services and product quality. 2) Store network expansion: the company adopts a 3-tier system, which means opening flagship stores and regular stores progressively particularly in the capital city and opening smaller stores to cater for takeaway orders. Building smaller size of stores helps improve store efficiency, since it can not only increase delivery coverage, but also lower labor cost and rental expense. Aged stores are also renovated to provide customers with a cozy environment. 3) Enriched product portfolio: new products e.g. hot pots, special drinks, French toast for breakfast, are continuously added into product mix to enrich clients’ choice and satisfy more younger generations. Dairy Queen: Improving Store Network and Better Dining Experience. Dairy Queen provides a range of ice-cream cakes, frozen treats, beverages and fast food. It caters to the customers who have higher consumption power and are looking for better dining experience. HHG focus on opening DQ stores in mega malls with good traffic to adapt to the changing consumption pattern in China. From 2012 to 2016, DQ revenue slightly declined but recovered in 1H17. Figure: Sales of Dairy Queen from 2013 to 1H2017

Source: Company, Phillip Securities HHG kept improving DQ network quality by closing underperformed stores and opening new profitable stores. DQ started to provide delivery services for selected products since the end of 2016. With extensive coverage and increasing brand exposure through third-party’s delivery platforms and self-owned social media platforms, we see delivery sales grew rapidly. Meanwhile the company continues to introduce innovative new products to stimulate the taste buds and add new elements to attract young generations. Also in future the company is going to open more DQ flagship stores with comfortable seats to enhance dining experience.

Source: Company, Phillip Securities Multi-Brand Strategy and Enhanced Product Mix The company places importance on introduction of new brands. It introduces a new brand “Uncle Fong” in 2016, which offers authentic Hong Kong snacks to consumers in Northern China. The brand focus on small stores with lower investment costs and faster payback period. Meanwhile, HHG continues to introduce new products according to customer segmentation and improve customers’ loyalty. Leveraging on the big data derived from the internet platforms, HHG launched new drinks products which promised high profit margins. With technology applied in business operation, HHG expects to better track the ever-changing market needs and consumption trends to provide more comprehensive products to its customers. Staff Incentive Scheme Improves Operating Efficiency The company maintains competitive compensation packages and provides trainings to retain talents. The Virtual Partnership Scheme has been implemented in all stores since 2Q 2015, allowing the heads of stores to operate their establishments as if they were the store owners. The scheme gives managers a sense of ownership and motivates them to operate stores in more efficient ways. The program allows managers to share the fruits of the company success, through rewarding them the certain portion of revenue as long as it outperforms the sales target. Managers’ cost-saving efforts have contributed directly to profit growth especially in adverse market conditions, given that the other operation expenses gradually decreased these years. Financial Analysis Revenue The revenue grew at a CAGR of 1.49% from FY12-FY16 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.34% during FY17-FY19. The company attributed the negative growth in 2015 to difficult business environment and continued to adjust store network by closing underperforming stores and opening new stores in proper locations. Future growth momentum comes from: 1) Ramp-up of takeaway stores and greater penetration of delivery service. We know from our checks that around 70 new stores will be open during 2017, given 29 new stores have be stated in first half while 18 stores have been closed. We estimate that the increasing smaller stores will rise delivery coverage in a more cost-saving way. 2) Comprehensive product portfolio and contribution from new brand. 3) Incentive scheme boosts staff motivation to achieve better performance of the company. We notice in 1H17 the company reported sales of HK$1,048mn (+3% YoY) and 8.1% YoY growth in RMB terms. Considering seasonality effect, we expect better performance in 2H17.

Figure: Revenue of HHG from 2014 to 2019

Source: Company, Phillip Securities Profit Margin Gross profit achieved a 3.1% CAGR during FY12-FY16, with a generally stable gross profit margin. Raw material and labor cost consist significant portion in cost of goods sold. We estimate that the price of raw material will remain relatively stable in 2H17 and 2018, while labor cost will increase due to staff incentive scheme. Operating income fluctuated from FY12-FY16 while the operating margin has recovered since 2014. We expect compensation packages and cost control measures to raise efficiency in future. Net profit gradually rose since 2013 and we expect it to grow more stably with a CAGR of 4.88% during FY17-FY19. The implementation of VAT will help the company to save fund for development. But considering VAT impact has already reflected in 2H16 results, the net profit growth in 2H17 will be less than 1H17 growth. Figure: Gross Profit and GPM of HHG from 2015 to 2019

Investment Thesis, Valuation & Risk

We initiate target price of HK$0.24 and “Accumulate” investment rating. We see the great potential of the Integration in Jing-Jin-Ji Area policy which is going to boost regional economy in Northern China. As one of the leading catering business in Northern China, HHG is likely to achieve better performance, given expanding network, improving management efficiency and rising regional consumption. We assume 39/18 stores (net) to be opened in 2017/2018 and estimate topline with average sales of each brands. Therefore, we initiate with “Accumulate” rating for the company, and set target price at HK$0.24 with 11% upside. Figure: Historical PE from 2015 to 2017
