[Table_Summary] Cautious on 2019 Domestic TV Sales Performance,

Downgrade to "Accumulate" 对2019年国内彩电表现保持谨慎,下调至“收集”

Skyworth’s profit after taxation recorded RMB839 million in 2018. Total

revenue slightly increased 0.1% YoY to RMB38,978 million, of which

domestic TV sales dropped 3.8% YoY and overseas TV sales declined

27.4% YoY. Gross margin improved by 1.6 ppts YoY to 18.5%, mainly due

to raw material costs drop and product mix upgrade. For nine months ended

Dec. 31, 2018, revenue recorded RMB30,192 million and shareholders’

profit was RMB420 million.

Expect still challenging domestic TV market in 2019. In 2018, total TV

sales volume growth in China was largely flat but sales revenue dropped by

high single digit percentage, mainly due to declining panel price and price

war conducted by internet brands. In 2019, we expect the competition trend

to continue. However, we believe that leading TV manufacturers will

outperform the industry leveraging on technology advantages and

economies of scale, leading to more concentrated market share.

Downgrade investment rating to "Accumulate" but revise up target

price to HK$3.08. We value TVs as an important interface in smart

appliances systems but remain cautious on the short-term performance.

New TP represents 8.0x 2019 PER and 6.3x 2020 PER, respectively. Main

downside risks include continuing price war and lower-than-expected

margin.

创维 2018 年税后利润为人民币 839 百万元。收入同比微增 0.1%至人民币 38,978 百万元,

其中国内电视销售同比下降 3.8%,海外电视销售同比下滑 27.4%。毛利率同比提升 1.6

个百分点至 18.5%,主要由于原材料价格下降以及产品结构升级。截止 2018 年 12 月 31

日九个月,收入录得人民币 30,192 百万元,股东净利为人民币 420 百万元。

预期 2019 年国内彩电市场仍然有挑战。2018 年,中国彩电总销量大致持平但销售收入

录得高单位数下跌,主要由于面板价格下降以及互联网品牌发起的价格战。我们认为

2019 年竞争趋势仍将持续。然而,我们认为领先的电视制造企业将会凭借其技术优势和

规模效应跑赢行业,使得市场份额更加集中。

下调投资评级至“收集”,但上调目标价至 3.08 港元。我们看重电视作为智能家电系统

中重要的交互界面作用,但对短期表现表示谨慎。新目标价分别对应 8.0 倍 2019 年市盈

率以及 6.3 倍 2020 年市盈率。主要下行风险包括持续的价格战以及低于预期的利润率。

[Table_PageHeader] Skyworth Digital (00751 HK)

Skyworth Digital ("Skyworth" or the "Company") recorded revenue of RMB38,978 million and profit after taxation of

RMB839 million in 2018. The Company has changed its financial year-end date from Mar. 31 to Dec. 31 and changed the

presentation currency for the financial statements from HK$ to RMB. The Company released detailed financial results for the

period of nine months ended Dec. 31, 2018 ("4-12M18") and brief income statement for the period of calendar year 2018. In

2018, Skyworth’s revenue slightly increased 0.1% YoY, of which TV sales in the mainland China market decreased 3.8% YoY to

RMB$16,201 million and overseas TV sales dropped by 27.4% YoY to HK$7,311 million. Broken down in terms of revenue by

region, revenue from the mainland China market rose 10.7% YoY to RMB28,236 million, while revenue from overseas markets

declined by 20.0% YoY to RMB10,742 million. In 4-12M18, revenue recorded RMB30,192 million, of which sales of goods were

RMB29,736 million.

Profit surged supported by margin expansion. In 2018, overall gross margin rose to 18.5%, up 1.6 ppts YoY, mainly due to

gross margin improvement in the TV segment on the back of declining panel prices. Operating expenses were well controlled,

of which selling and distribution expenses to sales ratio was 9.5%, down 1.1 ppts YoY, while administration expenses to sales

ratio increased 0.8 ppts to 7.1%, due to higher R&D expenses. Domestic TV promotion activities also raised selling expenses.

Profit after taxation soared by 281.4% YoY on a low base. Shareholders’ profit reached RMB420 million, compared with

HK$459 million during the period of 4M17- 3M18 ("FY18"). In 4-12M18, shareholders profit reached RMB420 million. The

Company proposed final dividend of HK$0.06 per share during the period, representing a dividend payout ratio of 37.4%.

Domestic TV sales recorded double-digit volume increase but sales value declined. In 2018, sales volume of domestic

TVs increased by 12.7% YoY to 8.8 million units, of which 4K TVs increased 16.3% YoY and non-4K TVs rose 8.3% YoY.

However, ASP recorded sharp decline during the period mainly due to falling panel prices and price war from internet TV

brands. Blended TV ASP dropped around 15.5% YoY. According to AVC, total TV sales volume slightly increased 0.5% YoY

while TV sales value declined 8.6% YoY with ASP dropping 9.0% YoY in China in 2018. The Company still outperformed the

industry despite decreasing sales value during the period. According to CMM, Skyworth’s omni-channel market share

increased by 1.2 ppts YoY to 14.5% in China in terms of sales value, ranking second. On the other hand, blended TV gross

margin improved to 20.0% in 4-12M18, however, weaker than our previous expectation due to fierce price competition during

the period. The proportion of 4K TVs rose 1.7 ppts to 56.8% in terms of sales volume. In addition, revenue generated from

smart TV systems, including content and advertisement, reached HK$510 million in 2018, up 113% YoY. Internet-based content

enjoyed 35% gross margin, relatively higher than hardware manufacturing.

Overseas TVs experienced sales volume drop but gross margin improved. Sales volume slumped by 16.2% YoY to 6.5

million units and sales value declined 27.4% YoY to RMB7,311 million, mainly due to the Company’s active cut on some

low-margin OEM/ ODM businesses and clients’ concerns on China-US trade disputes. However, the Company raised gross

margin to 13.6% in 4-12M18, compared with 6.6% in FY18. Overseas TV business contributed more segment profit despite

shrinking scale.

within the domestic radio and television market and established more procurement cooperation with China Telecom, China

Unicom and China Mobile. In overseas markets, sales value dropped by 11.3% to RMB2,188 million. The Company is investing

in R&D of new product series for the Android ecosystem. Gross margin improved to 14.4% in mainland China and 22.6% in

overseas markets in 4-12M18, thanks to softening raw material prices and sufficient memory chips supply.

Earnings Forecasts Assumptions and Revisions

Expect still challenging domestic TV market in 2019. In 2018, total TV sales volume growth in China was largely flat. Panel

price drop was supposed to benefit TV manufacturers with higher gross margin. However, internet brands such as Xiaomi

adopted low price strategy with low margin to grab market share, and lowered industry ASP by around 9.0% YoY. Therefore

Skyworth had to follow the strategy to keep its market share and delivered slower-than-expected margin recovery during the

period. We expect flat or low single-digit drop of total TV sales volume in China in 2019 with consideration to high penetration

and competition from small screen devices. In addition, the market expects Huawei to enter the TV market in China and launch

its products in 2019. We expect Huawei to roll out high-end products, meeting its brand reputation, which may be good for lifting

ASP but may impact Skyworth, Hisense and TCL as a direct competitor. In the first two months of 2019, total TV sales volume

dropped 0.4% YoY and ASP declined by double digit percentage, according to AVC. Small screen panel prices saw pickup in

March and medium to large screen panel prices are likely to stop dropping in 2019. Overall, we think that growth of the whole

market will slow down and fierce competition may continue, nevertheless, top brands are expected to keep their market share

with leading technology and economies of scale.

Fine-tune revenue forecasts in 2019-2021. We roll forward the base year to 2019 and change the year-end date to Dec. 31

accordingly. Considering moderate industry TV sales volume growth in China, we expect the Company to deliver 2.2% YoY

growth in domestic TV sales volume. ASP may stabilize given stable panel price and limited room for further price war.

Internet-based content achieved rapid growth in recent years and we believe that the trend will continue on the back of large

base of smart TV users and popularity of chargeable content. Overseas TV sales are expected to be maintained considering

expansion in 2018 with the strategy to exit low margin business. Overall, we forecast total revenue to reach RMB40,613 million,

RMB44,067 million and RMB47,503 million in 2019-2021, respectively.

Revise earnings forecasts in 2019-2021. Gross margin experienced rebound in 2018 but was below our previous expectation.

We are cautious on gross margin improvement given still intense operating pressure in the domestic market in 2019. However,

improvement of overseas TV gross margin of TVs and digital set-top boxes helped support overall gross margin and the trend

may continue. We noted that the Company has adopted a more aggressive selling strategy to take market share and it may

result in a rise of selling expenses. We expect Skyworth’s shareholders’ profit to reach RMB992 million, RMB1,253 million and

RMB1,528 million in 2019-2021, respectively.

Downgrade investment rating to "Accumulate" but revise up TP to HK$3.08. The Company’s stock price picked up from

bottom in recent months, stimulated by ultra HD video industry development plan and home appliances subsidy policy. In our

view, further penetration room for domestic TVs has become limited, however, TVs are the most important interface in a smart

appliance system, incorporating voice input and output, large screen, memory and AI. Thus we value traditional leading TV

manufacturing companies for their accumulated technological advantage compared with new entrants. We are positive on the

Company’s strategy to develop hardware and software in the long term despite short-term stagnated growth. We revise up our

TP to HK$3.08 considering the rising market sentiment. New TP represents 8.0x 2019 PER, 6.3x 2020 PER, 0.4x 2019 PBR

and 0.4x 2020 PBR, respectively. However, we downgrade investment rating to "Accumulate" for the Company’s uncertain

short-term finance performance. The main downside risks include continuing price war and lower-than-expected margin.
