Li Ning – Gearing up beyond 2008

Li Ning, China’s largest domestic sportswear company, has recorded strong sales ytd, with preliminary orderbook for 1Q-3Q08 up over 50% yoy.

To offset the hike in product costs, the company has raised product prices for 3Q-4Q08 by 3-5%. Management expects a steady gross margin of 48% this year. Li Ning’s ability to pass on the cost increases to customers implies its strong brand equity.

In Jan-May 08, Li Ning recorded a samestore sales (SSS) growth of over 20%, accelerating from 16-17% in 2007. Ytd, the progress in store openings is in line with schedule, and the company maintains its target to add at least 867 stores this year, raising the total number to 6,100 at
end-08.

In particular, the company will open six flagship stores before Beijing Olympics begin in August. Each store will have 800-1,000sqm of sales floor area and investment of Rmb1.3m-1.5m.

Li Ning’s strong growth this year is partly due to the enthusiasm over sportswear triggered by the Beijing Olympics. However, we expect the robust growth of China’s sportswear market to sustain
beyond 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Euromonitor and ZOU Marketing forecast China’s sportswear market to grow at 20-30% CAGR for 2007-12. The main forces at work to propel the growth include burgeoning income growth, urbanisation and increasing flavor for sportswear among the youths.

Among domestic sportswear companies, Li Ning should be one of the few with sustainable development potential. In recent years, Li Ning has developed strong nich in mid-end markets in second- and third-tier cities. The critical mass enables Li Ning to upgrade its brand to higher-end
positioning. We anticipate Li Ning’s net profit to grow at 28% CAGR from FY07 to FY10.

Current valuation is attractive at 26x FY08 PE and 20.5x FY09 PE. Maintain BUY with target price of HK$29.00 based on DCF (WACC = 10%; terminal growth = 3%).

Yes, the gymnast expert. I guess when you are good in sports, you would also be a good businessman or whatever you want to be :)

W : that maybe true, perhaps becos of their discipline and never-say-die attitude coupled with having actually earned successful international level trophies... self confidence is very high...and top class...

Products are ok. Shops are ok too.

Played to Domestic market. Rising tide of Nationalism.

For Nike & Adidas, cheaper to buy good quality knock-offs.

The foundations of discipline and focus are the characteristics of successful businessman.

Winston, is the company 'Li Ning' the leading brand in China, HK?

IIRC, Converse was acquired by Nike a couple of years back. Quite a fair number of acquisitions going on in the sport shoes industry.

Maybe, LiNing will acquired some major brands down the road or vice versa.
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

Lotto was bought over by Nike too...in 4Q 2007...

This Li Ning, having been a world class sports man... maybe too proud to allow being taken over... but who knows...right? money spins the world... not sun/moon/earth gravity...
