Comments:
1. The volume and price of container floor have risen together, and the performance pledge has been successfully fulfilled: with the sustained recovery of major economies, global container trade in 2017 was 191 million TEU, an increase of 5.02% over the same period last year, and demand from container transportation companies and container leasing companies continued to increase. Thanks to the increase in orders and the merger of New Huachang Wood, the company's revenue from container floor in 2017 reached 1.326 billion yuan, an increase of 111 percent over the same period last year; sales reached 324000 cubic meters, an increase of 93.49 percent over the same period last year; the average sales price was nearly 4100 yuan per cubic meter, an increase of 9.1 percent over the same period last year; gross profit margin reached 33.38 percent, an increase of 4.34 percentage points. During the asset restructuring, Kangxin promised to deduct the non-return net profit, with a target of 442 million yuan in 2015, which was basically completed; in the three years from 2015 to 2017, it accumulated 1.044 billion yuan, exceeding the completion of nearly 45 million yuan. Dividends account for 24.4% of the net profit of the year and will continue to return to investors in the future.
2. the merger pushed up the cost, and the product production adjustment: the sales expenses and management expenses increased by about 62% and 87% respectively compared with the same period last year, due to the increased expenditure on the management and protection of forest resources assets and the merger of JIASHAN Xinhua Chang wood industry. As the main production capacity is used to produce container floor, the revenue of environmental protection board is down nearly 34% from the same period last year, the sales volume is down 29% from the same period last year, and the gross profit margin is 46.91%, down 2.06% from the same period last year. Compared with more than 50% of Europe and the United States, the domestic OSB sheet has great potential. The ending inventory was 1.75 billion yuan, an increase of 38.97% over the same period last year, mainly due to an increase in the purchase of forest resources assets.
3. Fast-growing wood technology + forest board integration, with resources and cost advantages: in the 13th five-year Plan, it is proposed for the first time to stop commercial cutting of natural forests, which will be implemented in three steps. There will be an increasing shortage of raw materials and a large gap between supply and demand of forest resources. The size of the container floor market is about 10 billion yuan, and the floor accounts for nearly 15% of the total cost of the container.
The company has mastered the fast-growing poplar technology of replacing tropical broad-leaved forest with sub-small fuelwood, as well as rich forest resources (more than 800000 mu of raw material forest) to reduce raw material costs, which is in line with the lightweight + low-cost industry trend of container manufacturing.
The merged JIASHAN Xinhua Chang achieved an income of 456 million yuan and a net profit of 23.11 million yuan in 2017, higher than the promised 20 million yuan. As the leader of the container floor, the company has a global market share of more than 25% after the acquisition of New Huachang Wood, and its advantage is further highlighted.
Investment suggestion: as the leader of container floor, the company has a global market share of more than 25% after the expansion and acquisition of New Huachang Wood Industry, mastering fast-growing wood technology + forest board integration, in line with the development trend of container lightweight + low cost, benefiting from the warming of the container industry; COSB environmental protection boards benefit from consumption upgrading. Without considering the reorganization factors, it is estimated that the EPS from 2018 to 2020 is 0.54,0.61,0.74 yuan. Maintain the "highly recommended-A" rating.
Risk hint: the development of container industry and the application and promotion of OSB plate are uncertain, forestry disasters and so on.
