ORIENTAL PATRON: ‘Positive Stance’ On CHINA TIANYI
Oriental Patron says is upbeat on orange juice giant China Tianyi Holdings Ltd (HK: 756).
“We hold a positive stance on earnings outlook because domestic FCOJ (frozen concentrated orange juice) supplies only fulfill ~25% of demand in China, translating a shortfall of domestic FCOJ supplies and underpins demand potential is high.
“Also Tianyi enjoys a competitive advantage of FCOJ prices, ~10% lower than imported and it is undergoing an expansion of cultivation bases which empowers Tianyi to enhance upstream supplies of raw materials for FCOJ processing.”
It added that having a market-leading 18.5% market share in China enables Tianyi better bargaining power and the firm also has a very good footprint exposure in China’s top three FCOJ processing regions (i.e. Chongqing, Fujian, and Hunan).
“Tianyi had fruitful recent results on higher volume sales and an ASP hike,” Oriental Patron said.
Tianyi’s 1H12 (Y/E: 30.June) net profit came in at Rmb175mn (+34% yoy) on revenue of Rmb320mn (+53% yoy), thanks to capacity expansion, sales volume growth and an ASP hike of fruit juice products.
Recurrent profit actually jumped over 60% to approximately Rmb140mn.
“We believe the supportive measures from the government in fruit processing industry development should helps support Tianyi to gain more market slices as a substitute for imports,” the research note concluded.
