More challenges mountingEarnings downgrade on lower NEV/NEV batterybusinesses' profit estimate

We lower our FY17 revenue and profit forecast mainly on lower vehicle salesand ASP assumption. For FY18-19E, our revenue forecast is lowered by 3.5-3.8%on the back of lower NEV revenue estimate, on market share decline, subsidycut and lower NEV battery pricing, partly offset by higher conventional car salesvolume assumptions, considering the new design and better market perception.Lower subsidies and NEV battery business margin expectation also lead to our10.8-11.7% earnings cut for FY18-19E, after assuming some further reduction inBYD's NEV production costs to mitigate the subsidy cut impact.

Potential subsidy cut not just affecting BYD's autobusiness

Why a cut?In recent months, various media, such as Xinhua news, reported that the Chinesegovernment is considering a cut in the NEV subsidy level in 2018. While noofficial announcement has been made yet, we think the likelihood is high, onthe following rationale. To begin with, Yutong Bus (600066.SS, RMB23.79, Buy)said in its 3Q17 results briefing that such a cut, or policy refinement, is possibleas the company observes a faster-than-expected battery price decline, and it isgovernment's goal to not allow excessive subsidies to NEV OEMs. Besides, thegovernment also has the intention to encourage the adoption of higher qualitybatteries for NEVs. Last but not least, when we discussed the matter with Mr.Yongqiu Tian, an independent consultant and NEV industry expert, he stated thata subsidy cut, also highly likely in his mind, does not contradict the government'sgoal to grow NEV ownership. This is because instead of heavily subsidizingOEMs, the government can shift its resources to encouraging NEV ownership.

For instance, the government can charge congestion fees for conventional carsin big cities while waiving such fees for NEVs.

Likely version of new subsidy schemeAccording to Mr. Tian and other news media, the government probably has notfinalized the revised scheme, but some proposals have been laid out. After somenews screening, we have the following key highlights of the most widely-quotedproposal version. Firstly, for passenger electric vehicles (EV), there would bemore driving range categories, with deep subsidy cuts for low ranges but highersubsidies for long ranges. For passenger plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV),the subsidy amount would be slightly cut but the fuel economy requirement inhybrid mode could also be tightened.

For commercial NEVs, non-fast-charge electric bus subsidy per kWh would becut and the subsidy cap would also be cut. There would also be deep cuts to per-kWh subsidy and a subsidy cap cut for specialized vehicles.

Potential impact on BYD - more than just on NEV revenue and marginsIn 1H17, BYD's NEV sales accounted for 69% of the auto segment's revenueand 35% of total revenue. NEV's sales contribution is expected to increase goingforward, given faster growth in NEV demand. Assuming the 2018 subsidy cutwould be implemented as mentioned in the previous paragraph, we think thatBYD would not see much impact, if any, on passenger EV sales, as its productshave a long driving range, thus would not subject to a subsidy cut. For thepassenger PHEV, the subsidy cut extent would be about 15%, assuming notightening in fuel consumption requirement, and the revenue impact would beless than 5%. The area with the biggest hit would be the bus segment, as thesubsidy cut extent would be at least 20% and the revenue impact would bebetween 5-10%. Although the bus segment only accounted for 3% of BYD'svehicle sales in 10M17, its revenue contribution is much higher, given the highASPs of over RMB1m .

All in all, we think that on a whole-company basis, an extra NEV subsidy cut isnot going to have more than a 3% revenue impact on BYD. But if BYD is unableto cut the NEV costs at the same pace, NEV's business margin could be furthersqueezed in future.

As we do not believe that customers will be able willing to pay more for NEVsnext year, OEMs can only squeeze upstream suppliers or improve internal costs inorder to mitigate margin pressure. As such, we see downside risks to NEV batteryprice expectation in 2018E, and we also cut our price and margin assumptionsfor BYD's planned third-party NEV battery sales.

Bigger NEV market ahead but more competition too

NEV sales to thrive with high seasonal volatilityGiven market worries over a subsidy cut in 2018E, we think that there could belast-minute panic purchases before year-end 2017. While this could lead to a slowstart in 2018 year-beginning NEV sales, as happened in early 2017, we think thatthe exponential sales volume growth will continue next year with: 1) more OEMstrying to launch NEV models, and 2) rush-buying before another round of subsidycuts in 2019. In other words, the annual NEV sales pattern is likely to stay back-end loaded.

Considering the aforementioned factors, we slightly raise our China NEV salesforecast on the back of better-than-expected YTD sales, year-end sales rush, andan unchanged government goal to reach 5m units of NEV ownership by 2020Eand 10% vehicle sales volume contribution by 2025E. Note that our 1.5m-unit2020 NEV sales estimate is below the government target of 2m units, but we thinkthat would be sufficient to achieve the 5m-unit ownership mark and to meet theNEV credit requirement for the industry as a whole.

But BYD's market share is under siegeBYD has been losing market share YTD to other local brand OEMs that are nowpaying more attention to the segment with more models, e.g. BAIC BJEV whichhas a strong presence in Beijing, one of the key NEV markets in China. Goingforward, we think that the competition will become more intense as more localand foreign OEMs are rolling out their NEVs in 2018-19 to get ready for thecounting of NEV credit starting 2019. For instance, with limited NEV exposure atthe moment, Volkswagen announced that they plan to deliver about 400k unitsof NEV in 2020E. Their new JV with Jianghuai will also launch its first NEV modelin 2018.

NEV credit selling - realistic price is not known yet

Mr. Tian, the industry expert we met on our auto trip last week, estimates thatBYD amassed close to 300k NEV credits in 2016. These credits theoretically canbe sold to other OEMs (e.g. Great Wall with a ~200k fuel economy debit, onMr. Tian's estimate) in 2018 - for them to meet the 2016/17 fuel economy creditrequirement, or kept for future NEV credit sale (but at a discount). However, Mr.Tian also estimates that there are about 850k units of NEV credits in the market in2016 vs. about 500k units of fuel economy debit, which could be offset by buyingNEV credits for 2016/17. Therefore, a surplus NEV credit may not be valued much,given the near-term oversupply.

Regarding the 2018 implementation of the dual credit system, OEMs will have allthe time until 2020 to accumulate enough credits for 2019/20 and hence the realcredit trading may not happen until mid-to-late 2020.

Based on a study by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), most of themajor auto conglomerates in China could not meet the dual credit target if thepolicy were in force today. However, we think the situation will change, as groupslike SAIC, including its local brands and JVs, have big plans for rolling out NEVsin the next couple of years. All in all, we think it is still debatable whether the NEVcredits will be worth much in 2020E, but we admit that this could represent anupside risk to BYD's profitability beyond 2019.

According to our China Equity Strategy report "Featuring PPP Part 4: An inflectionpoint after three-year high growth" dated 22 November, the Chinese governmenthas become increasingly concerned that local governments may misuse PPPas a disguised borrowing vehicle to circumvent policy restrictions. Since May,the Ministry of Finance (MOF) has announced three major notices in order tostrengthen PPP project controls (Documents No. 50, 87 and 92). Document92, announced on 17 November, is a more concrete guideline for removingunqualified projects from the PPP database. Although our China team expectsmodest impact on the fixed asset investment outlook in 2018, due to the smallpercentage of reduced investment within total FAI, the growing PPP momentumis set to face an inflection point.

Since part of BYD's future monorail projects would probably be under the PPPformat, a slowdown in PPP growth could hinder the outlook of the company'snew business.

Valuation and risksValuation still fair given its unique NEV exposure in theHong Kong stock market

Our SOTP-derived target prices are based on 1) a peer average FY18E P/E of 15.9x,19.7x and 6.6x for the handset business (19% of SOTP value), battery business(2% of SOTP value) and monorail business (2% of SOTP value), respectively; and 2)a peer average FY18E P/sales of 1.5x and 2.3x for the conventional auto business(15% of SOTP value) and the NEV business (62% of SOTP value), respectively, aswe think the market cares more about BYD's NEV sales momentum rather thanimmediate profitability. The implied target FY18E P/E is 31.6x, the highest targetP/E benchmark among its local peers, which we believe is justified by its uniqueexposure to China's NEV market and its 26% FY17-19E two-year EPS CAGR. Butwith less than 10% upside after the share price rally YTD, we downgrade BYD-Hto Hold, and maintain Hold on BYD-A.

Risks

Key downside risks include weaker-than-expected car sales, inability to lower NEVproduction cost, a slower-than-expected margin recovery in the battery business,and more capital fund raising in future years to keep up with the NEV businessinvestments.

Key upside risks include rapid auto sales and margin improvement driven bysuccessful new models, ability to lower NEV production cost, and better-than-expected sales and/or a margin recovery in the battery business.

For an investor who is long fixed-rate instruments (thus receiving these cashflows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thuscause a loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, thehigher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among themost common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, clientsegmentation, regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in taxpolicies, currency convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or liquidation ofpositions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors. The sensitivity of fixed-income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, toFX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. The index fixings may – byconstruction – lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice ofthe proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexedto a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. Funding in a currency that differsfrom the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Options on swaps (swaptions) the risks typical tooptions in addition to the risks related to rates movements.??Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.
