NI market share of key players by value, 2014
NI market size 2003-2014 The global New Equipment/
Installation (NE/ NI) market has
reached 815,000 units in 2014,
with a value exceeding €25bn.
China accounts for almost 70%
of the global market by units.
Otis is still the largest player in
the NI market by value.
However, KONE has been
catching up aggressively in
recent years, claiming 19%
market share by units in 2014
(lower market share by value
due to lower ASP in China).
Americas have the highest ASP
due to the higher average height
of buildings with lifts installed. It
has seen notable price recovery
in 2014 while ASP declined in
other regions.
Slide 4
Global E&E installed base has been
growing steadily over the past few
years, reaching about 13.4m units in
2014.
Europe is the largest market for
maintenance, with EMEA accounting for
about half of the global installed base.
As compared to ten years ago where
c70% of the market opportunity was in
the developed world, China now
accounts for 23% of the global installed
base. We forecast China may account
for 40% of the global installed base in
2020 (with over 7m units).

Installed base evolution by units
We introduced the concept of the 'ever-
growing' E&E installed base in our
previous detailed market primer report
in April 2012 (link).
Looking to model the size of the future
installed base, we refine our model and
introduce a retirement rate of around
1.5-2% for 2014-2016E. With this and
our expectations of the new installation
market growth in this period, we expect
the installed base to continue to grow at
c5% pa in the next three years,
reaching 14m units in 2016.

Otis is the leading E&E manufacturer with 18% of the market share in 2012, followed by
Schindler, ThyssenKrupp and Kone.
A few Japanese players are also prominent in this space, including Hitachi, Fujitec and
Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi is particularly strong in China being the No.1 there for installed
base.
Otis has the largest share of maintenance in their business split, while Kone has the
smallest as they have been growing their NI business aggressively in recently years.
In terms of geographical exposure, Kone and Otis both have a large exposure to Asia,
and Kone and Schindler are strong in Europe. Thyssen has the largest exposure in
Americas.

New floor space started
declined by -c16% in H1 2015
and the rate of decline has
narrowed from earlier in the
year.
Real Estate Investment and
Floor Space Under
Construction grew by c5% in
H1 2015, supportive of c5%
growth in E&E order volume.
We explore the relationship
between E&E NI growth rate
and construction lead
indicators and found it to be
lagging New Floor Space
Started by c6m but is much
less volatile.
It seems to correlate well with
growth in Real Estate
Investment as well as Floor

China NI – Elevator Intensity in New Starts
Source: Credit Suisse research
21/09/2015 Slide 9
China’s E&E new orders intensity in
new construction has increased
from c250 in 2008 to c300 in 2014,
driven by higher quality of
construction (thus higher demand of
lifts). Based on current run-rate of
new starts and 5% E&E order
growth in 2015, intensity would rise
to c350 this year, which is close to
South Korea’s level in 2011. We
believe E&E order is driven by both
new starts and floor space under
construction which is running at 4x
of new starts in 2014 (see chart next
page). 0

Part of the increasing intensity is
also driven by higher growth of non-

which has higher E&E intensity as
compared to the residential segment.
We estimate the non-residential E&E
density to be about 2-3x residential
density in terms of units per sqm of

China NI – Forecasting Floor Space Under Construction
Source: China NBS, Credit Suisse research
Slide 10
Growth of E&E orders has historically shown a strong
correlation with growth of Floor Space Under Construction,
which in turn drives Real Estate Investment in China.
To forecast growth of Floor Space Under Construction for 2016,
we show the sensitivity analysis based on forecast of New
Floor Space Started and project cancellation rate.
Building a scenario based on 4% project cancellations /
suspensions and a 10% further decline in new floor space
started (after 4.5% cancellation/ -15% decline in 2015), we
arrive at a 1% growth for floor space under construction for
2016, which is supportive for a flat elevator order growth.

China's elevator density (number of E&E units
per 1,000 people of population) is currently
c2.2, as compared to 10 in Hong Kong, 6 in
Japan and close to 4 in Russia. When
considering only the urban population of
China, the density is currently still merely 4.2.
Assuming a 635k mid-cycle level delivery
from 2016-2025, China will reach an installed
base of c10.4m E&E units in 2025 and
density ratio of 11.5 E&E units per 1,000
people in the urban population – an average
of Hong Kong and South Korea in 2012.
The vast majority of China provinces still have
a very low E&E density ratio, including a
number of relatively wealthy provinces with
dense population. Hence the 'catching-up' of
these regions offers scope for overall density
growth in the country.

China maintenance market – potential for positive surprise
Source: Credit Suisse research
Slide 12
The E&E maintenance market in China currently has low conversion rate,
low unit value and low quality due to lack of regulation and shortage of
qualified labour.
We believe the new regulation effective from 1 Jan 2014, Law on Safety
of Special Equipment, will help the market to move in the right direction by
specifying more responsibility of elevator OEMs and operators.
We believe the maintenance market in China offers scope for positive
surprise in the medium term given that maintenance currently only
accounts for less than 10% of the OEM’s revenue in China.

In China, large international players
have majority of the OE market
while the largest local player only
has c2% market share.
We estimate that these new
production facilities in total add
about 120k-150k units of production
capacity p.a., which is close to 30%
of the major players' production
volume in 2013. However, we do not
see pricing as a major concern in
the short term mainly due to the
flexibility in production and exits of
smaller players.

Otis – >300 service and sales points in 2014
KONE – c500 service and sales points points in 2014
ThyssenKrupp – c200 offices & branches in 2014
We believe that an important factor
that explains the market share
change is the footprint expansion in
China, while Kone has been leading
on this front with over 500 locations
as of June 2014.
We believe a strong local presence
in the service market will also help
OEMs in winning new NI business
as the elevator operators are
increasingly being held responsible
for elevator safety.

China: Elevator ASP of key players, change yoy, 2012-2014
China: Escalator ASP of key players, change yoy, 2012-2014
Local players' ASP was
broadly flat / slightly
declining in 2014. We did
not find a consistent
overarching trend in the past
three years suggesting price
cuts drive higher volume
growth but the particular
dynamics between Canny
and SJEC in 2014 support
this theory. Despite sluggish
pricing, reassuringly, NE
profitability generally
increased, driven by
cheaper raw materials &
bought-in components as
well as by increased vertical
integration in some cases.

India appears to have followed China’s growth path
closely in the past 12 years, and is currently about
1/10 of the market size in China (~54,000 units in
2013). The key question now is whether it can see a
similar acceleration as China had seen since 2001.
We found that India’s growth has been mainly driven
by E&E density among urban population, while in
China urbanization has been a much stronger driving
force.
Elevator World forecasts the India market to grow 14%
p.a. for the next five years. For this to happen, density
in urban population has to rise faster than China had
experienced during similar period.

The analyst(s) responsible for preparing this research report received Compensation that is based upon various factors including Credit Suisse's total revenues, a portion of which are generated by Credit Suisse's investment banking activities
As of December 10, 2012 Analysts’ stock rating are defined as follows:
Outperform (O) : The stock’s total return is expected to outperform the relevant benchmark*over the next 12 months.
Neutral (N) : The stock’s total return is expected to be in line with the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
Underperform (U) : The stock’s total return is expected to underperform the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
*Relevant benchmark by region: As of 10th December 2012, Japanese ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms representing the most attractiv e, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. As of 2nd October 2012, U.S. and Canadian as well as European ratings are based on a stock’s to tal return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant s ector, with Outperforms representing the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. For Latin American and non-Japan Asia stocks, ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the average total return of the relevant country or regional benchmark; prior to 2nd October 2012 U.S. and Canadian ratings were based on (1) a stock’s absolute total return potential to its current share price and (2) the relative attractiveness of a stock’s total return potential within an analyst’s coverage universe. For Australian and New Zealand stocks, the expected total return (ETR) calculation includes 12 -month rolling dividend yield. An Outperform rating is assigned where an ETR is greater than or equal to 7.5%; Underperform where an ETR less than or equal to 5%. A Neutral may be assigned where the ETR is between -5% and 15%. The overlapping rating range allows analysts to assign a rating that puts ETR in the context of associated risks. Prior to 18 May 2015, ETR ranges for Outperform and Underperform ratings did not overlap with Neutral thresholds between 15% and 7.5%, which was in operation from 7 July 2011.
Restricted (R) : In certain circumstances, Credit Suisse policy and/or applicable law and regulations preclude certain types of communications, including an investment recommendation, during the course of Credit Suisse's engagement in an investment banking transaction and in certain other circumstances.
Volatility Indicator [V] : A stock is defined as volatile if the stock price has moved up or down by 20% or more in a month in at least 8 of the past 24 months or the analyst expects significant volatility going forward.
Analysts’ sector weightings are distinct from analysts’ stock ratings and are based on the analyst’s expectations for the fundamentals and/or valuation of the sector* relative to the group’s historic fundamentals and/or valuation:
Overweight : The analyst’s expectation for the sector’s fundamentals and/or valuation is favorable over the next 12 months.
Market Weight : The analyst’s expectation for the sector’s fundamentals and/or valuation is neutral over the next 12 months.
Underweight : The analyst’s expectation for the sector’s fundamentals and/or valuation is cautious over the next 12 months.
*An analyst’s coverage sector consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector. An analyst may cover multiple sectors.
Credit Suisse's distribution of stock ratings (and banking clients) is:

Rating Versus universe (%) Of which banking clients (%)
Outperform/Buy* 56% (30% banking clients)
Neutral/Hold* 29% (38% banking clients)
Underperform/Sell* 13% (31% banking clients)
Restricted 2%
*For purposes of the NYSE and NASD ratings distribution disclosure requirements, our stock ratings of Outperform, Neutral, an d Underperform most closely correspond to Buy, Hold, and Sell, respectively; however, the meanings are not the same, as our stock ratings are determined on a relative basis. (Please refer to definitions above.) An investor's decision to buy or sell a security should be based on investment objectives, current holdings, and other indivi dual factors.

Price Target: (12 months) for Kone Corporation (KNEBV.HE)
Method: Our TP is based on a three stage DCF discounting a 15% mid-cycle margin, 5% organic growth, 2% terminal growth, tax rate of 25% and a 8% WACC.
Risk: A severe construction market correction in China driven by liquidity concerns. Lack of a recovery in the US or Europe. Increasing price competitiveness in service market in developed world. Normalisation of profitability in the Chinese New Equipment market (currently over 10% vs developed market at c3-5%). Performance issues with the new product introductions.
Price Target: (12 months) for Schindler-Holding AG (SCHP.VX)
Method: Our TP is based on a DCF discounting a mid-cycle margin of 14%, mid-term growth of 5%, a WACC of 8% and a terminal growth of 2%. Our TP is backed by the company EV/EBIT and P/E multiples relative to peers and its own history as well as by EV/Sales multiples vs the company expected through-cycle profitability.
Risk: Longer and deeper than currently expected down-cycle in developed world. Adverse pricing behaviour of competitors in new equipment (China) and service segments (Europe and US). Execution on the LEAP programme, new products roll-out and new factories ramp up.
Price Target: (12 months) for Thyssen Krupp AG (TKAG.F)
Method: Our Target Price is calculated inline with our sum of the parts valuation methodology using a set of peer companies to value each division of TK.
Risk: Outlook for global industrial growth, raw materials movements, steel prices, pricing dynamics in the elevators business, Risks to pricing and volumes in the services business (given the volatility of the distributor inventory cycle). The technologies business is based around long-term contracts, where there are risks of cost over-runs.

Important Credit Suisse HOLT Disclosures
With respect to the analysis in this report based on the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology, Credit Suisse certifies that (1) the views expressed in this report accurately reflect the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology and (2) no part of the Firm’s compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the specific views disclosed in this report.
The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign ratings to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default algorithms available in the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. The adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes the baseline valuation for a security, and a user then may adjust the default variables to produce alternative scenarios, any of which could occur.
Additional information about the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology is available on request.
The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign a price target to a security. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The default variable may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
