Iconix Brand Group – No. 2 Global Licensor After Disney (Wong Yong Kai) Recommendation: Trading Buy Previous Close: USD 34.09 Fair Value: USD 43.19

Despite $13 billion global annual sales and “No. 2 Global Licensor” recognition, Iconix is still a fairly unknown name at $2.5 billion fully diluted market cap, and trades at a low 12.0x adjusted 2013F free cash flow.

High Customer Demand: Licensing enables retailers to brand merchandise, yet earn high private-label like margins. Recurring High Margin Revenues: $600+ million of contractually guaranteed minimum royalty payments, and high 61% EBITDA margins

on negligible capex. Disciplined Capital Allocation: Management weighs every acquisition against share buybacks. Iconix has spent $1.9 billion on

acquisitions in total, while repurchasing 11.9 million shares (18% outstanding shares) this year. Established Acquisition Criteria: Aims for 65% of purchase price in guaranteed minimums, and 5.0x average acquisition multiple (ie.

licensing fees). Notably, intangible assets are amortized over 15 years for tax purposes, but no corresponding GAAP expense due to indefinite useful life.

Multi-Pronged Growth Strategy: After acquisition, Iconix might make over the brand, extend the product line, and/or improve retail store penetration to grow revenues. International revenue contribution has increased from 6% in 2009 to a forecasted 33% by end 2013, partly driven by 50-50 joint ventures with Silas Chou & family (behind Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors), Falic Group (largest duty free store operator in Americas with over 150 stores and distributor of luxury brands), and Reliance Industries, among others.

China’s Auto Sector Interim Report 2013 Closing price: N/A Target price: N/A

The market demand finally started to recovery gradually in 1H2013 from the end of 2012 after China’s auto market experienced sharp decrease since 2011, which maintained the increase month by month in terms of the y-y growth rate of industrial sales volumes, in line with our expectation in the previous sector report.

In 1H2013, the sales of vehicles in China increased by 12% y-y to 10.782 million units, up 9.4ppts largely compared with the growth ratio during the same period of 2012, representing the obvious recovery of demand. The sales scale and growth rate of China’s auto market continued to lead the industry worldwide, and ranked No.1 consistently in the last four years.

Especially, the growth of PVs increased significantly, the accumulated sales increased by 13.8% y-y to 8.665 million units, up 6.7ppts. The y-y growth rate of CVs was slower than that of PVs, up 6.7% y-y to 2.117 million units, but the growth range was much higher than

that of PVs, which increased largely by 17ppts compared with that of 2012H. According to the types of vehicles, the consumption boom of SUV in PVs still persisted, the accumulated sales increased by 41.6% y-y

to 1.33 million units in 1H2013. MPV recorded the better performance according to the changes of statistical standards (Including Shanghai GM’s Wuling Hongguang), the growth rate was much higher than the industry average, up 128.2% y-y to 0.57 million units. Saloon car increased stably with the year-on-year growth rate of 11.7% to 5.84 million units.

The proportion of the sales of SUV to PVs continued to increase by 3ppts from 12.3% in 1H2012 to 15.3%. We believe the trend of the boom in SUV market is difficult to be changed in the short term, and this segment market will maintain the higher growth compared with the industry average as the expansion of production capacity and the increase of types of vehicles.

According to the nationality, the pressure of self-owned bands of PVs was larger, the sales increased by 13.2% in 1H2013, and the market share decreased by 0.23ppts y-y, the sales growth declined month by month. Japanese brands of passenger cars stated to rebound, but the growth rate was still lower than the industry averages, and therefore the market shares maintained on the low level, decreased largely by 4.2ppts y-y to 14.8%.

Other joint venture brands kept higher growth, the market shares of PVs of Germany, American, Korean and French series recorded 19.4%, 12.1%, 9.1% and 3.2% respectively. Especially Germany and Korean series increased obviously by 1.5 and 1.3ppts y-y, and the market shares of American and French series were expanded 0.9 and 0.5ppts y-y respectively.

Although the comprehensive competitiveness of China’s self-owned brands has improved largely in recent years, there is still a gap between the foreign and self-owned bands to some extent, and the pressure of competition will be stronger as the slow-down of the market and the shocks from foreign brands.

Thailand Thai stocks took a roller coaster ride on Wed with intraday swings of up to 30

points on political rumors before the SET index finished the session up a mere 5.08 points at 1,429.39 points.

The market remained clouded by domestic political pressure as controversial amnesty-related bills are tabled for debate in parliament today amid protests against the bills. Overnight losses on Wall Street amid QE exit fears after comments from Fed officials that the Fed could begin trimming the size of the stimulus program as soon as Sep but much depends on economic data.

Wild intraday swings are likely to continue in the Thai stock market, reflecting the fragility of the market amid light trading volume. Foreign fund flows remained mixed amid alternate bouts of buying and selling while the baht extended its slide to 30.43 to the US dollar this morning (0800 hrs Thailand time)

The SET index is likely to continue its downside bias in a trading range of 1400-1440 today. Cut loss if the main index closes below 1400.

Today we peg resistance for the SET index at 1440-1460 and support at 1420-1400.

Market News

US Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans, who has been among the most vocal proponents of record monetary

accommodation, said there has been “good improvement” in the labor market and indicated that a tapering of the central bank’s bond-buying program in September is possible. Evans, speaking to reporters today, said the Fed probably will have bought at least $1.2 trill ion of bonds from January 2013 until the time he sees the current quantitative easing program ending in mid-2014. “We’ve seen good improvement in the labor market, there’s no question in my mind about that,” Evans said in Chicago. “I’m still wanting to see greater evidence that it’s a sustainable improvement” and “I would clearly not rule” out a decision to begin dialing back the purchases in September. U.S. central bankers are scrutinizing incoming economic reports to determine if the labor market has substantially improved since last September, when they renewed an expansion of their balance sheet that’s now at $3.57 trillion. The economy added the fewest jobs in four months in July, even as the unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent, Labor Department figures showed Aug. 2. (Source: Bloomberg)

Singapore In the battle for data revenue, all three telcos are striking back hard. SingTel has become the first local operator to team up with the

industry's thorn in the side - over-the-top (OTT) enfant terrible WhatsApp. Rival StarHub will do the same with an unnamed social messaging service, and M1 has thrown its lot in with the industry's answer to OTT players - Rich Communications Services (RCS). Yesterday, SingTel launched the country's first exclusive WhatsApp partnership, targeting prepaid users who have thus far been constrained in their usage of the messaging service by pay-as-you-go pricing or small data packages on offer. The WhatsApp plan costs 50 cents for a day, $3 for seven days and $6 for 30 days. These are capped at 1 gigabyte (GB) a day, beyond which, data usage is taken out of any existing data plans that a user might have, or charged on a 10-kilobyte (KB) basis. This move carries a particular urgency. Last year, telcos lost US$23 billion in SMS revenue to social messaging services, according to estimates by Ovum. (Source: Business Times)

Hong Kong Two of China’s richest men are intensifying their rivalry over the world’s biggest Internet market. Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.,

the country's largest e-commerce company, on Aug. 1 said it blocked Tencent Holdings Ltd. (700)’s WeChat to sellers. Four days later, billionaire Pony Ma’s Tencent introduced online payment features to mainland China users of its WhatsApp-like chat software. Alibaba is headed for what may be the biggest initial share sale since Facebook Inc., while Tencent is China’s biggest Internet company, with more than 300 million users for WeChat, which started in 2011. Both have made purchases and encroached on each other’s established markets in the battle for dominance of the country’s online spending. McKinsey & Co. estimates China's Internet retail will triple to $395 billion from 2011 to 2015. “Tencent is still in the land-grabbing phase,” said Billy Leung, an analyst at RHB Research Institute Sdn. in Hong Kong. “They’re still trying to improve their market share for the e-commerce space. On the other hand, Alibaba is trying to defend its territory.” Tencent has surged 51 percent this year, the most on Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng Index and pushing its ma rket value to almost $90 billion. Alibaba’s valuation may be about $105 billion should it push forward with an IPO , Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) estimated in a July 22 report. (Source: Bloomberg)

Sri Lanka Sri Lanka's12-month Treasuries yield edged up 05 basis points to 10.57 percent at Wednesday's auction. There were no offers or sales

of three and six month bills. The debt office offered 12.0 billion rupees in bills for rollover and sold 17.6 billion rupees in bills. (lankabusinessonline.com)

Sri Lanka's budget deficit will narrow and debt will slow with falling domestic interest rates and public private partnerships in infrastructure. In 2014 the budget deficit is likely to be about 5.2 percent of gross domestic product. Private investments in infrastructure would also increase. The Colombo port has already seen an investment by a port company. Public Private Partnerships will also increase in the future, especially in roads. (lankabusinessonline.com)

Sri Lanka domestic and foreign currency issues will expand three fold over the next five years.

Australia Activity in Australia's construction sector has fallen for the 38th consecutive month, but the pace of decline is slowing. The Australian

Industry Group-Housing Industry Association Australian Performance of Construction Index (PCI) rose 4.6 points to 44.1 in July. An index reading below 50 indicates activity in the sector is falling and the lower the reading, the greater the speed of the decline. Ai Group director of public policy Peter Burn said the fading mining-related construction activity was not being offset by the other construction sub-sectors. "While the house building sub-sector approached an expansion in activity, apartment-building slowed at a steeper pace and commercial construction was also slower in July," he said. "The industry continues to face a tough and uncertain environment characterised by tight credit conditions, a lack of public sector building activity and subdued investor sentiment.
