Ever Sunshine LS (1995.HK) - Four-wheel drive, moving towards a life service provider

Investment Summary

Yongsheng Property, the predecessor of EVER SUNSHINE LIFESTYLE SERVICES GROUP, was established in 2002. Since 2003, it has provided property management services for properties developed by CIFI Holdings, mainly in Beijing and Shanghai, and continues to develop the eastern region.

In the industry, it is a company that started expanding outward earlier. According to the 񓠄 China Top 100 Property Management Companies Research Report" released by China Index Academy, the company ranks 12th among the top 100 property management services companies in China.

Revenue continues to increase, driven by the three major businesses

In 2019, the company's revenue recorded approximately RMB 1.88 billion, a year-on-year increase of approximately 74.5%. The CAGR reached 54% from 2015 to 2019. The company is mainly divided into three major businesses, 1) property management services, 2) community VAS and 3) VAS to non-property owners. In 2019, property management services, community VAS and VAS to non-property owners recorded RMB 1.07 billion, RMB 480 million and RMB 320 million, respectively, accounting for 56.98%, 25.73% and 17.29% of the company's revenue. In the first half of 2020, under the influence of the epidemic, the company still maintained high growth in property management services, community VAS and VAS to non-property owners, increasing by 83.7%, 84.6% and 117.1% year-on-year respectively, accounting for the company's revenue of 59.6%, 19.4% and 21.0%.

The company's VAS performance leads the industry

The revenue of property management services companies from value-added services has increased year-on-year in recent years. Unlike basic property management services, which rely on cost control to obtain profit, the profitability of value-added services is more focused on the quality of services, and it will be more important in the future. Large room for improvement is the second growth driver for property management companies. Company's development in community VAS is at the forefront of the industry, and the gross profit contribution from community VAS surpassed basic property management services in 2019 and gradually become a home life service provider.

Valuation and Investment Recommendation

We believe that in addition to basic property services and other services with subscription attributes, the company's development in community VAS is also the best in the industry. In the future, with industry integration, revenue growth from property management services will slow down, and value-added services will become the second driving force for the company's growth. The company builds brand reputation through high-quality standardized services, and continues to expand community VAS, further towards for the development of life service providers, we believe that the PEG valuation method can more effectively reflect the value. The average PEG of the property management services industry is 0.98. Considering that the company has more consumption attributes than other peers, the company is given a 1.1x PEG in 2021 and a target price of 24.38 Hong Kong dollars, corresponding to 54.78x/37.38x expected P/E ratios in 2021 and 2022, the initial cover, gives an Accumulate rating.

Industry analysis

The rapid development of domestic property management industry

In recent years, the scale of the domestic property management industry has developed rapidly. According to the data in the 񓠃 Property Service Enterprise Development Index Evaluation Report"(2019ª«·~ªA°È¥ø·~µo®i«ü¼Æ´úµû³ø§i), as of the end of 2018, the national property management industry has managed an area of ​​approximately 27.93 billion square meters, compared with 15.49 billion square meters in 2013, increased by over 80.31%, with a CAGR of 12.5%. Among them, they are mainly concentrated in Guangdong Province, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province, which together account for approximately 26.0% of the national property management scale. The China Property Management Association (¤¤°êª«·~ºÞ²z¨ó·|)predicts that the total area of property management in China will reach 37.67 billion square meters in 2023, an increase of nearly 10 billion square meters from the end of 2018.

China's property management industry has diversified services, including residential properties, commercial properties, office buildings, public properties, industrial parks, schools and hospitals. Among them, residential properties account for the largest proportion. According to CIA (¤¤«ü°|) data, residential properties managed by the top 100 companies in 2019 accounted for 73.9% of the total construction area under management, followed by office business and commercial business.

Average property management fees have shown a downward trend in the past five years, mainly due to the fact that the top 100 property service companies in China have begun to enter the third- and fourth-tier cities in the Mainland, and the average management fees in these cities are lower than those in the first and second-tier cities. According to the CIA, the average value of property management fees for various properties in the past five years was generally about 4.2 RMB/sqm per month, but in 2019 it dropped to 3.9 RMB/sqm per month. The same trend also appears in the average value of residential property management fees. But at the same time, China's top 100 property service companies have increased their company revenue through internal growth and mergers and acquisitions in recent years. The average revenue has increased from RMB 450.3 million in 2015 to RMB 817.0 million in 2019. The compound annual growth rate is 16.1%.

Value-added service revenue continues to rise

In addition to traditional property management fees as the main income, the industry's income from value-added services has also increased year-on-year in recent years, and the scope and content of value-added services have also continued to expand. The specific types of value-added services mainly focus on offline value-added services, such as housework, community space operation services, and property sales and rental assistance services. According to CIA data, the average revenue of value-added services of the top 100 property service companies continued to rise, from RMB 90.4 million in 2015 to RMB 223.1 million in 2019. The compound annual growth rate is 25.3%.

Increased market concentration

The property management industry in China is highly competitive. In the past, the market was composed of many property management companies of different sizes. According to data from CRIC, at the end of 2018, there were more than 127,000 property management companies in the market. In order to expand the GFA under management and improve the market position, large companies have accelerated their expansion through internal growth and mergers and acquisitions of small and medium property management companies.

According to CIA data, the market share of the top 100 property service companies has grown rapidly in recent years, from 28.4% in 2016 to 43.6% in 2019. In order to expand financing channels to provide financial resources for mergers and acquisitions, in recent years, many private property management companies have chosen to list on stock exchanges. In addition, more and more developers intend to spin off their property management businesses for listing in order to unlock potential value in the capital market.

The parent-subsidiary model is common

There are currently 26 domestic property management companies listed in Hong Kong. Since 2014, the mainland real estate developer Fantasia Holding's subsidiary Colour Life was listed in Hong Kong, and many mainland real estate developers have split their property management subsidiaries. Since most of the current listed property management companies are supported by related developers, their business is mainly residential property management. According to the CIA, nearly 80% of the property management services revenue of the top 100 property service companies in 2019 came from their affiliated real estate, and on average 60% of the area under management was developed by their affiliated real estate developers.

The epidemic brings opportunities for property management companies

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in China at the beginning of the year, the development of the real estate market has slowed down and the delivery of real estate projects has been delayed. It is expected that the Chinese real estate market will continue to be under pressure in the short term. On the other hand, the epidemic has also brought opportunities for property management companies. Affected by the epidemic, many owners have put forward higher requirements on the quality of property management products and services. Many branded property management companies responded quickly and actively responded to customers` new environmental needs, such as better air circulation and sun exposure. Improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, and provide room for price increases in the future. Secondly, the government has also introduced different policies to support property management companies, including extending social security payment deadlines, reducing taxes, relaxing financing restrictions, reducing corporate financing costs, and increasing government subsidies. Help the industry to establish and improve a favorable and orderly environment.

In January, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC (¤¤µØ¤H¥Á¦@©M°ê¦í©Ð©M«°¶m«Ø³]³¡) ¡Bthe National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC (¤¤µØ¤H¥Á¦@©M°ê°ê®aµo®i©M§ï­²©e­û·|)¡BChina Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission(¤¤°ê»È¦æ«OÀIºÊ·þºÞ²z©e­û·|) and other ten ministries and commissions issued the "Notice on Strengthening and Improving Residential Property Management Services", which includes integrating property management into the grassroots social governance system, improving the service level of property management services, and improving the owner committee Govern the structure, promote the development of the life service industry, standardize the use and management of maintenance funds, and strengthen the supervision and management of property services.

Item 11 in the notice mentioned improving the price formation mechanism for property services. Property service prices are mainly formed through market competition. The service price is agreed upon by the owner and the property service company in the property service contract, which can be dynamically adjusted according to factors such as service standards and price indices. In this notice, it is clearly proposed to improve the market-based pricing mechanism for property services, and to relieve the market's worries about price increases limit in the past. In the future, basic property management services can also provide high-quality property management companies with sustained profit growth momentum through price adjustments.

Company competitive advantage

The company manages the scale of 4-wheel drive and continues to increase

In terms of business expansion, the company has a specific strategic plan to use the "four-wheel drive" approach to achieve rapid growth in the scale of operations, so as to achieve sustainable high growth. Four-wheel drive refers to 1) projects obtained by third-party extensions, 2) new projects developed by the parent company CIFI Holdings, 3) projects obtained by establishing joint ventures with third parties, 4) projects obtained by strategic acquisitions.

Different from the industry's continuous acquisitions, the company expands its scope through its quality, brand, channel and execution capabilities. It advocates market expansion as its main strategy. The company believes that the ideal business growth structure is the Marketing: Parent company: Joint venture: Mergers and acquisitions are 5:2:2:1, reducing reliance on parent companies and mergers and acquisitions.

The sales area of the parent company CIFI Group has shown rapid growth in recent years, providing continuous GFA under management growth for the company's projects under management. CIFI Group's sales area has increased from 2.06 million square meters in 2015 to 12.04 million square meters in 2019, CAGR Up to 55.5%. As of June 30, 2020, CIFI Group has a land reserve area of 52.7 million square meters, and it is expected to continue to provide stable project delivery for company in the future.

In terms of third-party external expansion, the company mainly obtains new projects through three channels. The first is to obtain the first-hand project management rights of third-party property developers by participating in the bidding of new development projects. The second is the bidding conducted by participating in the owners` committee to replace the original property management services service provider. The third is the company's participation in government procurement to obtain infrastructure projects such as stadiums, rail transit and office buildings. The bid winning rate depends on the company's service quality and reputation. The company continues to deepen its regional development, establish good cooperative relations with local governments and partners, and increase the bid winning rate.

On the other hand, the company has reached strategic cooperation with different property developers, including leading regional developers. Through the establishment of a joint venture company for scale expansion, the company is responsible for the subsequent property service projects. In addition, the company also has strategic cooperation with government state-owned enterprises. Starting in 2019, the company began to set foot in urban services and reached a strategic cooperation with Jilin Gaoxin Tonghua. Later, in 2020, we will reach strategic cooperation with Jining District in Ulan Chabu City, Inner Mongolia, Siyang District in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, WuXi HuiShan State-owned Investment Holding, etc., in the construction of smart cities, the transformation of old communities and urban public Continue to expand in construction and other aspects.

In terms of strategic mergers and acquisitions, in the industry's merger and acquisition wave, the company has completed four M&A since its listing. The acquisition targets were Qingdao Yayuan, Qingdao Yinshengtai, Jiangsu Xiangjiang and Guangxi Zhangtai. The company focuses on the company's business complement in the acquisition, and also focuses on the quality of the acquired company when selecting the target. The company also raised approximately HK$1.58 billion in equity in the middle of last year. Prepare capital for subsequent strategic mergers and acquisitions.

The company advocates platform plus ecology and leads development on community VAS

As mentioned above, the revenue of property management services companies from value-added services has increased year-on-year in recent years. Unlike basic property management services, which rely on cost control to obtain profit, the profitability of value-added services is more focused on the quality of services, and it will be more important in the future. Large room for improvement is the second growth driver for property management companies. Company's development in community VAS is at the forefront of the industry, and the gross profit contribution from community VAS surpassed basic property management services in 2019 and gradually become a home life service provider.

In the development of community VAS, the company develops in a platform plus ecology model, and uses the community as a platform to build an ecosystem. On the product side, the company has independently BU its professional business. A professional team is responsible for product development and research on how to reach the owner accurately. On the business side, the company adopts a business-raising plan. On the one hand, it cooperates with big brands to jointly empower, and on the other hand, it also splits with localized small businesses. There will be no more than two single-category suppliers in a community to form `Support business plan`. On the client side, focusing on cultivating the owner's habit, through time-based or scenario-based sales strategies, the owner's stickiness to the company's value-added services is improved, and the path dependence and mental cycle of the user side are formed.

Financial forecast

In terms of basic property services, we estimate it by CIFI Group's contracted sales, the company's past third-party outreach capabilities, and acquisition capabilities. The company's 2020/2021/2022/2023 contracted GFA growth is expected to be 28.00/36.40/47.32/ 61.52 million square meters. Based on the previous company's contract convert ratio, the company's reserve area conversion period will be completed within 2 years on average. The company's 2020/2021/2022/2023GFA under management is expected to be 10,387/13,509/17,097/217.15 million square meters respectively, the corresponding basic property service income is CNY 1.64/2.07/2.55/3.16 billion.

In terms of community VAS, growth is expected from three perspectives, 1) the increase of GFA under management, 2) the increase in the unit price of community service revenue and 3) the penetration rate of community VAS. It is expected that the growth in recent years will mainly come from the increase in penetration rate, and as the penetration rate of community VAS increases, the increase in unit price will constitute the second growth driver. The company's 2020/2021/2022/2023 annualized growth of value-added service revenue per square meter is expected to be 26%/26%/26%/27%, corresponding to community VAS revenue of RMB 9.71/15.91/25.36/40.75 billion.

In terms of VAS to non-property owners, it mainly comes from CIFI Group's early-stage sales and project delivery. We predict that the delivery area from CIFI Group in 2020-2023 will be 409/250/287/369 million square meters, corresponding to VAS to non- The income of property owners was RMB 5.23/3.83/5.29/8.17 billion.

In terms of GPM, we predict that the company's GPM for 2020-2024 will be 30.7%, 33.1%, 34.2%, and 35.5%, respectively. Among them, the GPM of property management services service revenue is relatively stable, mainly from the cost-side management. The growth of GPM is expected to be limited, and the growth in the next four years is expected to be slight. In terms of VAS to non-property owners, the relationship with the parent company is relatively high, and GPM is expected to remain stable. In terms of community VAS, since the company has begun to implement BU management in terms of professional services with low GPM in recent years, it is expected that the GPM of community VAS will fall after the revenue share increases. On the whole, as the proportion of community VAS with higher GPM continues to increase, the company's overall GPM is also on the rise.

Company valuation

We believe that in addition to basic property services and other services with subscription attributes, the company's development in community VAS is also the best in the industry. In the future, with industry integration, revenue growth from property management services will slow down, and value-added services will become the second driving force for the company's growth. The company builds brand reputation through high-quality standardized services, and continues to expand community VAS, further towards for the development of life service providers, we believe that the PEG valuation method can more effectively reflect the value.

We expect the company's 2020/2021/2022/2023 earnings per share to be RMB 24.84/36.94/54.14/82.88 cents, with an average growth rate of 49.8% in 2021-2023. The average PEG of the property management services industry is 0.98. Considering that the company has more consumption attributes than other peers, the company is given a 1.1x PEG in 2021 and a target price of 24.38 Hong Kong dollars, corresponding to 54.78x/37.38x expected P/E ratios in 2021 and 2022, the initial cover, gives an overweight rating.
