Demand from shanty town relocation and migrant workers to help sales growth in 2016
Inventory is lower than market estimate and will continue to go down
Yet, margin recovery is not imminent. Tier 2 city players to see higher margin pressure than tier 1 city plays
Upcoming results may drive valuations lower. Wait for a better entry point to accumulate high quality players: COLI, CR Land, Country Garden, and CIFI
Policies to boost mass market demand from migrant workers and relocations. China has set the direction for the property sector, which is to (1) accelerate citizenization of migrant workers to enhance effective demand; (2) increase cash compensation for shanty town redevelopment; and (3) establish a housing system with dual sales/lease markets. With policy supports, we estimated that sales contribution from shanty town relocation and migrant workers is likely to head higher from 8% to 12%, This, coupled with higher affordability and rising upgrade demand shall allow property sales to grow at c.10% in 2016 Falling inventory to drive ASP growth. The widely quoted inventory level includes non-residential spaces. Our estimate shows residential supply including completed but unsold, under construction and undeveloped land represents 3.99 years of GFA sales, which is lower than 2014’s 4.11 years and market estimate of 5.29 years. This is expected to decline further in 2016 due to lower land supply and new starts in 2015. Potential ASP upside may help to mitigate margin pressure nationwide. Yet, tier 1/2 city players may still see their land price as a percentage of ASP heading higher, which imply margin recovery is not yet on the card. Tier 3 city plays shall see stable margin outlook. Some developers will be able to maintain their margins going forward, such as COLI, Vanke, CR Land, COGO, and CIFI.
Shopping opportunity may emerge during the result season. Forex losses and lower IP revaluation gains may lead to many developers reporting y-o-y declines in earnings. Although core earnings may still see decent growth and physical market outlook is solid, share price may face some downward pressure. This may provide a better entry point to buy mega-sized developers with lower margin pressure and small developers with strong operations. Our picks are COLI, CR Land, Country Garden, and CIFI.

Executive summary
Policies may help to meet mass market demand from migrant workers and relocations. We expect Chinese government to make more efforts to (1) accelerate citizenization of migrant workers to enhance effective demand; (2) to encourage cash compensations to be given to shanty town villagers for relocation and (3) to establish a housing system with dual sales/lease markets. In our estimate, these efforts will likely increase contribution from migrant workers and shanty town relocation to 4% and 8% of national sales, respectively in 2016 (vs. 1% and 7% in 2015). Demand from upgraders or long-term investors may also grow if 3rd mortgage is on offer.
Single digit growth in GFA sold is still possible in 2016. The affordability (national monthly mortgage payment over income) is at a historical low of 34% now. We expect genuine demand, which is highly correlated to population, will remain stable in 2016. As such, we maintain our view that annual demand is sustainable at c. 1.2bn sm up to 2020. Additional demand from the shanty town redevelopments and migrant workers along with the genuine demand may lead to GFA sold rising by single digits in 2016.
ASP still has upside. In 2015, national blended ASP increased c. 9% y-o-y. We believe this was partially due to higher percentage of sales from cities with higher ASP during the year. Most of the cities saw stable ASPs. In 2016, due to lower supply, we believe ASP is still on an upward trend and may rise up to 5% y-o-y. This would translate into a sales value growth of c. 10%.
Less focus on tier 1 cities. GFA sales growth in tier 1 cities may moderate in 2016. Tier 1 cities may still see price increase but the pace will be slower than in 2015 may not be repeated in 2016, challenged by affordability. Increasing supply in tier 2 cities may drive volume growth. ASP may see growth but the pace is not likely to catch their fast growing land price. Tier 2 cities are likely to see higher margin pressure. Tier 3 cities may see relatively stable ASP but higher volume growth which leads to stable margins.
Developers may target 10%-15% presales growth on average in 2016. Although most developers believe 2016 will see a better credit and policy environment than 2015, they tend to be prudent on growth expectations. On average, we estimate that developers may target 10% to 15% growth from 2015’s high base. Country Garden and CIFI could target over 20%-30% growth, while expectations from others are mainly c.
10%. CR Land, China Jinmao, Yanlord, CIFI, CCRE, and GLHK are likely to record strong 1Q16 sales. The former four’s earlier achievement of sales targets may allow them to conserve resources in 2016. CCRE and GLHK missed 2015 sales target due to delays in launches of key projects. These projects are likely to record strong sales in 1Q16.
Market has over-estimated residential supply. Our analysis shows that the data that is most frequently quoted for completed but unsold inventory includes 40% of non-residential inventory. According to NBS (National Bureau of Statistics), completed inventory for total commodity properties continued to build up to 719m sm by end-2015. Among which, 452m sm were residential properties. The period required to clear up completed residential properties was 0.41 years or 5 month as at end-2015, based on the average GFA sold in the past three years.
Clearance period for residential inventory has shortened. Based on our calculation, the clearance period for total residential inventory, which include completed unsold and land reserves, had also decreased to 3.76-3.99 years by end-2015 from 3.84-4.11 years as at end-2014, assuming a plot ratio of 2 to 4 for undeveloped land bank. The growth rate for completed but unsold inventory has slowed down significantly to 11% (from 25.6% in 2014).
Absolute inventory level is to decline. GFA new starts were lower than GFA sold for the first time ever in 2015. During 2009~2014, GFA new starts were 8% to 34% higher than GFA sold, while in 2015, China’s GFA new start was 5% lower than GFA sold. If there is no strong recovery in land sales, GFA new starts in 2016 may post double digit y-o-y decline, based on our estimate. This makes us more confident that inventory levels will decline.
Developers’ land bank is declining, but large developers are acquiring more land. Total GFA acquired by major developers in 2015 grew 18% y-o-y mainly driven by large developers. However, 15 out of 22 developers we tracked bought less land in 2015 than in 2014. Evergrande, Country Garden, and Vanke purchased the largest amount of new land. COLI, including asset injection, also made significantly higher new land acquisitions than in 2014. Among smaller developers, CIFI and Longfor accelerated land acquisition pace during the year. However, the ratio of land bank over GFA sold declined from 7.7 years as at end-14 to 6.5 years as at end-15. COLI, Vanke, and Country Garden’s ratio dropped to below 4 years.

Page 4
Major developers’ AV trended up faster than ASP mainly due to larger proportion of new land acquired in higher tier cities. In 2015, developers acquired 13% less new land than GFA sold and new land accounted for c. 17% of their landbank by year-end. However, major developers’ AV for newly acquired land increased 27% while contracted ASP increased 4% on average.
Developers who bought more lands in tier I/II cities in recent years may see higher margin pressure. 2014’s AV for newly acquired land as percentage of 2015’s ASP for CR Land and COGO declined, which will likely lead to gross margin improvement in 2016. However, land acquisitions in 2015 were generally more expensive as developers shift to focus on tier I/II cities. If new land acquisitions in 2015 accounted for a large portion of a developer’s total landbank, it may mean that the developer would need to increase ASP faster in order to maintain margins or it would face higher margin pressure. In our analysis, we found that COLI, CIFI, and Vanke will have lower margin pressure as their AV as % of ASP in 2015 was lower than in 2014, and new land acquired accounted for a higher portion of their land bank. CR Land, Yuzhou, and Sino-Ocean will need ASPs to increase by a larger percentage to maintain margins. Among them, we believe CR Land should be able increase ASP due to its Shenzhen exposure.
Mega players (annual sales > Rmb100bn) were benefitting from market consolidation, while large players (annual sales of Rmb40bn-100bn) were generally dragged by their new strategy. Mega players registered 26% y-o-y growth in contracted sales in 2015, benefitting from market consolidation and their wider geographic coverage. However, large players generally underperformed. We believe this was
due to (i) some players adjusting/optimising their land bank exposure and management structure after posting faster growth in previous years; (ii) most of them returning to tier 1/2 cities, thereby growth was contained by a smaller geographical exposure. We expect mega players to grow bigger in 2016, while others may need to break operational/regional exposure bottleneck before growth re-accelerate.
FY15 reporting earnings may show y-o-y decline for many companies due to unrealised exchange loss. The impact of RMB depreciation on core earnings is not likely to be significant. But watch out for impact of unrealised exchange losses on FY15 reporting earnings. Based on a 4.4% RMB depreciation last year, our analysis shows converting offshore debts to RMB will result in significant unrealised exchange losses, which accounts for c. 20% of major developers' core earnings, on average.
Valuation may go lower during the upcoming results season, which will see opportunities to buy quality names. Since the market is gradually forming the view that RMB depreciation is on a downtrend that will not be reversed in the near term, investors are expressing concerns over the impact from the provision of unrealised exchange loss on reported earnings. Therefore, market sentiment during the upcoming reporting season may be weak and potentially lead to share price volatility, which should present opportunities to buy quality names. Mega-sized developers with lower margin pressure and small developers with strong operations are likely to outperform: COLI (688 HK), CR Land (1109 HK), Country Garden (2007 HK), and CIFI (884 HK).

Potential supportive policies to release demand
Demand from migrant workers has great potential to grow with supportive policies
Is property affordable for migrant workers? National figures show that migrant workers’ monthly income was Rmb2,864, 40% lower than urban citizen’s Rmb4,697. Assuming that there are two people working in one family, this group can afford to buy a unit that is 35% to 40% smaller than the current size of an urban unit.
Mortgage availability is the key to encourage migrant workers to buy. In our view, migrant workers are incentivised to settle down in cities where they are able to give a better education for the next generation, have better living conditions, and healthcare. The key factors constraining their affordability level is mortgage availability. At present, migrant workers in general are unable to obtain mortgages from banks due to lack of income approvals and other required documents for commercial mortgages. They are not well covered by social security or have no access to housing provident fund. We currently see some city governments providing subsidies and tax breaks for migrant workers. We believe that supportive policies to enhance migrant workers’ access to mortgages will be effective.
Home ownership of migrant workers has big upside potential. As at end-2014, migrant workers’ homeownership rate was only 1%, up from 0.9% in 2013. In 2015, the ratio may have increased slightly to 1.2%. In 2016, if supportive policies towards migrant workers are effective, we estimate 2% of migrant couples between 21 and 40 will be able to buy one unit in 2016, thereby generating 53m sm of additional demand. This would then bring homeownership of migrant workers up to 2.3% by end-16 from 1.2% as at end-15, accounting for 4% of national GFA sold or compared with c. 10mn sm bought by migrant workers in 2015E.
Cash compensation for shanty town redevelopment can have some impact too, even based on conservative assumptions
Shanty town redevelopment growth may slow down. China redeveloped 3m units in shanty towns in 2012, and the scale picked up to 5.8m units in 2015. In 2016, the target for shanty
town redevelopment is set at 6m sm, which is a significant slowdown from 25% CAGR during 2011-2015.
The percentage of cash compensation may be constrained by government’s funding ability. In 2015, China relocated 5.8m units, of which 28% were compensated with cash. We estimate this may translate into c. 78m sm demand for commodity housing. The target is to raise the cash compensation percentage to 50% in 2016. Assuming compensation is based on the national average ASP, this means government spending on compensation will nearly double from 2015, which we believe is beyond the amount that local governments can afford.
But, even conservative assumptions can have some impact on national GFA sales. Since China Development Bank is offering provincial government special loans, we assume cash compensation ratio can reach 35%, implying 60sm for each relocated family. We estimate that 80% of them will buy units from the market, this will translate into c. 101m sm of demand, and accounting for c. 8% of national GFA sales.
Investment demand’s contribution may increase as well
Investment demand may continue to increase. Based on Vanke’s GFA breakdown by buyer profile, investment demand had picked up to 20% in 2015, slightly higher than 2009’s 19% before the introduction of HPR in 2010 (13%). Meanwhile, the percentage of first time upgraders has kept trending up during the past seven years (from 23% to 39%). If the government takes out the “no mortgage” policy for purchase of a third unit, it may be able to help boost re-upgrader and investment demand further in 2016.
Other potential policies may help developers to enhance efficiency and boost demand further
More to follow Chongqing’s example. Chongqing has issued policies to reduce developers’ tax burden by (1) adjusting down taxable gross margin from 20% to 15%, (2) reducing the prepayment rate for LAT to 2% of contracted sales from 3.5% for uncommon residential, commercial, and parking slots or to 1% for common residential, and (3) giving a refund of the land auction deposit within one working day compared with three previously. We believe other local governments will gradually lower developers’ tax burden and encourage them to buy land and increase property investment in 2016.

Credit environment is likely to ease further. Potential policies may include lower downpayment requirements, resume giving mortgages for third units, mortgage rate cuts, RRR cuts, etc.
We believe this will help enhance buyers’ affordability and support demand.

Growth in both GFA and ASP likely in 2016
Single digit growth in GFA sold is still possible in 2016. We expect genuine demand which is highly correlated to population growth will remain stable in 2016 and maintain our view that demand is sustainable at current levels up to 2020. Additional demand from the shanty town redevelopment and migrant workers along with genuine demand may trigger a single digit growth in GFA sold in 2016.
ASP still has upside. In 2015, national blended ASP increased c. 9% y-o-y. We believe this was partially due to a higher percentage of units sold in high priced cities during the year. Most of the cities are still seeing stable ASP. The national monthly mortgage payment over income ratio is still at a comfortable level of 34%. In 2016, due to lower supply, we believe ASP is still on an upward trend and may rise by c. 5% y-o-y. This shall translate into c. 10% national sales value growth.

Is inventory level really worse off?
The potential inventory problem in China has been widely discussed and there are various definitions of inventory. We have classified the various definitions into three categories, namely completed but unsold inventory, saleable under development (PUD inventory) and land inventory (see the following table for more details on different definitions of inventory).
Most frequently quoted “completed but unsold inventory” data includes 40% non-residential inventory. Accordingly to NBS (National Bureau of Statistics), completed inventory of total commodity properties continued to build up to 719m sm as at end-2015. However, out of this, completed inventory for residential properties was 452m sm. The clearance period for completed residential properties was 0.41 years or 5 months as at end-2015, based on average residential GFA sold in the past three years.
Total commodity property: clearance period has started to improve. While completed inventory for total commodity properties continued to build up in 2015, land inventory in absolute level posted a large decline after two years of a falling number of land transactions. The period to digest both PUD inventory and land inventory have dropped from the 2014 peak. The clearance period for total commodity property inventory decreased to 4.71-5.29 years, assuming a plot ratio ranging from 2.0-4.0 for land sold but yet to be developed.
Residential commodity property: better picture. We are using the same methodology to analyse inventory level for residential commodity properties. We have estimated the residential land inventory accounted for 33.9% of total land inventory based on Soufun’s residential land area transacted as % of total land area transacted in 300 cities in 2012-2015. The clearance period of total inventory for residential properties also decreased to 3.76-3.99 years by end-2015 from 3.84-4.11 years as at end-2014.
For the first time ever, GFA new starts were lower than GFA sold in 2015. During 2009~2014, GFA new starts was 8% to 34% higher than GFA sold, while in 2015, China’s GFA new starts was 5% lower than GFA sold. If there is no strong recovery in land sales in 2016, GFA new starts may record a double digit y-o-y decline based on our estimate. This makes us more confident that inventory levels may decline.
Developers’ land bank is declining, while mega developers are acquiring more land. Major developers’ total GFA acquired in 2015 grew 18% y-o-y from the low base in 2014. Only 7 out of 22 developers we tracked have sped up their land acquisition pace. Evergrande, Country Garden, and Vanke bought the largest amount of land. COLI, including asset injection, also made significantly higher new land acquisitions than in 2014. Among smaller developers, CIFI and Longfor accelerated land acquisition pace during the year. However, the ratio of land bank over GFA sold declined from 7.7 years as at end-14 to 6.5 years as at end-15. COLI, Vanke, and Country Garden’s ratio dropped to below 4 years.

Developers may target double digit y-o-y growth for 2016 contracted sales
Developers may target 10-15% presales growth on average in 2016. Although most developers believe 2016 will see a better credit and policy environment than in 2015, they tend to be prudent when talking about growth. We estimate that on average they may target 10%-15% growth from 2015’s high base. Country Garden and CIFI may target 20%-30% growth, while others are likely to be c. 10%. CR Land, China Jinmao, Yanlord, CIFI, CCRE, and GLHK are likely to record strong 1Q16 sales. The earlier achievement of 2015 sales targets by CR Land, China Jinmao, Yanlord, CIFI may have enabled them to conserve resources for 2016. CCRE and GLHK missed 2015 sales targets due to delays of launches of key projects. These projects are likely to record strong sales in 1Q16.
Listed developers managed to gain market share in 2015 but the pace was slower than in 2014. Major developers gained 0.5 ppts in market share in 2015, which is slower than 4.5 ppts gain in 2014 when the market was weaker. In 2015, major developers’ contracted sales grew by 19% y-o-y compared with 17% nation-wide, while in 2014, the growth rates were 15% and -8% respectively. Developers that achieved the largest market share gains are Evergrande and COLI. Although the market expected market consolidation to accelerate in 2015, the slower pace of market share gains may be due to credit easing which makes life easier for small scale developers.
Mega players (annual sales > Rmb100bn) benefitted from market consolidation, while large players (annual sales from Rmb40bn-100bn) were generally dragged by their strategy change. Mega players registered 26% y-o-y growth in contracted sales in 2015, benefitting from market consolidation and their wider geographic coverage. However, large players (annual sales from Rmb40bn-100bn) generally underperformed. We believe this was due to (i) some players adjusting/optimising their land bank exposure and management structure after faster growth in previous years; (ii) a large number of them refocusing back to tier 1/2 cities, and growth was contained by a smaller geographical exposure. We expect mega players’ growth trends to be higher than the sector average in 2016.

Focus on tier 1/2 cities is still the preferred route, but prospects may not be better
GFA sales growth in tier 1 cities may moderate in 2016.
Our data shows that GFA sales growth rates in tier 1 cities had started to slow down y-o-y since Sep 15. New starts in tier 1 cities declined the least among the three city tiers, while land supply declined nearly 20% y-o-y. We believe land supply will constrain sales volume and continue to keep inventory level low.
Strong ASP growth in tier 1 cities in 2015 may not be
repeated in 2016, challenged by affordability. ASPs may still increase in tier 1 cities in 2016, but the pace will be much slower than last year given the high base. Affordability in tier 1 cities worsened significantly after ASPs increased by an average of 24.4% in 2015. Property prices to annual income rose to 13.6x (the second highest level after 2010) and monthly payment to disposable income had also increased to 75% by end-2015. Therefore, we expect residential ASP growth in tier 1 cities to moderate to 5% in 2016, while volume to stay flat vs. a 14.0% volume growth in 2015.
Tier 2 cities: Increasing supply to drive volume growth
but ASP growth is limited. As inventory as at end-2009 was relatively low, we have made an estimate for the potential inventory level for tier 1/2 city based on total land supply (in GFA terms) during 2010-2015 after deducting total property sales (in GFA terms) over the same period. Based on our estimate, we found that the inventory digestion period in tier 2 cities as at end-2015 (5.04 years) was similar to the national
level of 4.71-5.29 years. We think this could be attributable to major developers returning to tier 1/2 cities since late-2013 which has led to a larger decrease in land transactions in the rest of China. Supply-driven volume growth is likely in tier 2 cities. Although affordability in tier 2 cities improved in 2015 with monthly payments to disposable income improving to 37% and property price to annual income fell to 6.8x, increasing inventory levels may cap ASP upside.
Tier 2 cities likely to see higher margin pressure. Land cost in tier 2 cities increased substantially by 18% in 2015, similar to tier 1 cities’ 19%, despite a modest fall in ASPs in tier 2 cities. New home sales ASP CAGR in tier 2 cities in the past two years was -6%, vs. 13% increase in land cost during the same period. By comparison, land prices have been rather rational in tier 3 cities, rising by a marginal 1% in 2015. As such, we expect tier 2 cities to see higher margin pressure.
Relatively stable ASP but higher volume growth in tier 3
cities expected. In Dec-15, y-o-y growth in GFA sold in tier 2 cities and the rest of China exceeded that of tier 1 cities. We believe this trend will continue. While inventory level remains high in tier 3 cities, supply-demand dynamics had improved in tier 3 cities in 2015; among the three city tiers, tier 3 cities recorded the sharpest decline in new starts and land supply. Tier 3/4 cities are likely to benefit the most from any potential supportive measures from governments for destocking. ASP upside is limited but volume growth could be higher than tier 1/2 cities. Due to similar growth rates in ASP and land prices during the last two years, margin pressure is lower than tier 2 cities.

Margin trends
National figures show stable margins. We use Soufun’s 300 cities land price as a proxy for China’s land price. We found that AV as % of ASP jumped from 17% in 2012 to 20% in 2013. After that land price growth only slightly outpaced selling prices. AV as % of ASP picked up slightly to 21.4% in 2015 from 20.1% in 2013.
Major developers’ AV trended up much faster than ASP mainly due to a focus back to higher tier cities. In 2015, developers’ AV of newly acquired land increased 27% while contracted ASP increased 4% on average. In 2015, developers were relatively slow in land acquisitions. GFA acquired in 2015 was 13% less than GFA sold in 2015 and accounted for 17% of their landbank.
ASP increase in 2015 may enable some developers to see margin improvement, while stronger ASP increase in 2016 is needed in order to maintain margins for 2017 and onwards. 2014 AV as % of 2015 contracted ASP for CR Land and COGO declined, which is likely to lead to margin improvement for 2016 booking. However, land acquisitions in 2015 were generally more expensive. If a developer’s acquisition of new land in 2015 accounts for a large portion of its total landbank, it may mean that the developer will need to increase ASP faster in 2016 to maintain booking margins in 2017 and onwards. In our analysis, we found that COLI, CIFI, and Vanke will have lower margin pressure given their 2015 AV as % of ASP in 2015 were lower than that in 2014 and the percentage of new land accounted for a higher portion of their land bank. CR Land, Yuzhou, and Sino-Ocean will need larger ASP increases to maintain margins. Among them, we believe CR Land can increase ASP due to its Shenzhen exposure.

Faster than expected RMB depreciation may cloud the upcoming result season and create buying opportunities
COLI, COGO, and SOHO had the highest portion of their
debt in HKD/USD, while COLI’s impact may be overstated.
Developers on average had 53% of their debt in USD/HKD as at mid-15. The ratio is likely to be lower at end-15. COLI, COGO, and SOHO have > 70% of their debt in USD/HKD. Wanda, Vanke, and China South City have a relatively lower percentage of their debt in USD/HKD. Longfor has hedged its half of its USD/HKD debt to Rmb. After considering COLI’s natural hedging, its USD/HKD exposure is only 22% which is much lower than the sector average.
Impact of RMB depreciation on core earnings is not
significant. As we had pointed out in our report issued in Jan 2015, realised exchange loss due to additional interest payments only accounted for 1.4% of developers’ 2015 core earnings based on 4.4% depreciation in the RMB. However, developers who had redeemed their USD debt in 2015 to lower their USD exposure would have suffered a slightly larger hit. This group includes Shimao, Country Garden, Shui On, Yuzhou and SOHO. In 2016, CR Land, GLHK, and R&F have more debt due in 2016 and Evergrande, Agile, and China Jinmao have higher amount of callable debt.
But watch out for impact of unrealised exchange loss on
FY15 earnings. Based on 4.4% RMB depreciation, our analysis shows that converting offshore debts to RMB will result in significant unrealised exchange losses, which would account for c. 19% of major developers' core earnings, on average. Among the companies we track, unrealised losses for GLHK, Yuexiu, and Agile may account for c. 30% of FY15E core earnings. The impact on Longfor (960 HK) could be less than 5% due to 50% currency risk hedged. Developers reporting in
RMB currently use two different accounting methods to treat the losses. One is to record the forex losses as a loss provision in the income statement. The other is to deduct the losses from translation reserve in the balance sheet. Vanke (2202 HK), Central China (832 HK), KWG (1813 HK), Yuzhou (1628 HK), and SOHO (410 HK) are among the developers that we track that are using the latter method. Some companies may report profit alerts as a result of this issue. For companies reporting in HKD, unrealized exchange loss will be reflected on their balance sheets as well.
Most companies may report lower FY15 earnings due to
unrealised exchange loss. Since the market is gradually forming the view that RMB depreciation is a trend and will not reverse in the near term, investors are expressing concerns over the impact of provisions for unrealised exchange losses on reporting earnings. Therefore, market sentiment during the upcoming reporting season may be weak and potentially lead to increased share price volatility.
Net debt ratio after considering exchange rate losses will
boost sector average net debt up by 5.5 ppts. Although unrealized exchange losses on developers’ P/L is likely to vary substantially due to accounting methods used and reporting currency, all developers’ equity will reflect the unrealized exchange loss. Our analysis shows that on average, a 4.4% RMB depreciation will lead to developers’ equity falling by 5% vs our original forecasts. Accordingly, sector average net debt ratio would be higher by 5.5 ppts. GLHK, CCRE, Yuexiu, and Agile will see the largest negative impact, while Vanke, Evergande, China Jinmao, and SOHO will be less affected. NAV impact for a 5% RMB depreciation will be 6.1% on average for the companies we tracked.

Panda Bonds may be a new trend for HK listed developers to adjust debt structure and funding cost
Panda bond is a funding channel for corporates registered outside China to raise RMB funds in China. Potential buyers and funding costs are similar as domestic bonds. Both PBOC and Shanghai Stock Exchange can participate in potential Panda bond issuances. In 2015, although some companies were able to issue domestic bonds at low cost, the amount of bonds they can issue is constrained by the net asset scale of their onshore platform. Since Oct 2015, we saw corporates like HSBC, BOC HK, China Merchants HK, Country Garden and Shimao issue Panda Bonds at attractive cost. In addition, given that Panda Bond’s issuers are usually non-PRC registered companies, regulators make it easier for them to channel the monies offshore.
Companies which have onshore credit ratings may take this route earlier than others. As the issuance of such bonds requires onshore credit rating which often takes 2 to 3 months to obtain, companies who have onshore AAA/AA+ rating include COLI, Sino-Ocean, Evergrande, Longfor, Vanke, Country Garden, Sunac, Greentown, Future Land, China Jinmao (ex-Franshion), and Joy City, may be able to take this route faster than others.
Other potential candidates are high-quality companies which have large offshore debt exposure but do not have a sizeable onshore entity to issue onshore debt. This may include CR Land, Yuexiu, China Jinmao and Shenzhen Investment. Meanwhile, Country Garden, Evergrande, Joy City, and Greentown who have less than 60% of the net assets under the domestic platform may have more incentive to explore Panda Bonds. Although some of them are tapping into private offers of domestic bonds, they are likely to consider a public offer of Panda Bonds as another funding channel as the cost is lower.
Policy change may be a risk to Panda Bond issuance. One of the key attractiveness in Panda Bond’s funding is that it is allowed to be channelled overseas. This provides developers with alternatives to pay down offshore debts and mitigate RMB depreciation risk. The risk to watch out for would be regulatory changes. Given the strong demand and RMB exchange rate fluctuation, regulators may suspend the issuance to control capital outflows.
Details regarding Panda Bonds
• Issuer has to be registered outside PRC. H-shares are not qualified to issue Panda Bond
• Have domestic credit rating
• Prefer higher rating and larger sized corporate
• Maximum quota is 40% of latest audited net asset value of the entire listco
• Coupon similar to domestic bond
• Supervised by PBOC or CSRC
• Has public offer and private offer like domestic bond while public offering is often 100bps cheaper
