KDC 19 October 2011
The high visibility of Kinh Do’s moon cakes and the long history of the company in
Vietnam (since 1993) have made the Kinh Do brand name one of the most
recognised icons in Vietnam. According to ACNielsen, it is the fourth-most
recognisable brand name in the country.
In addition to the Kinh Do brand, KDC also has several other well-known brands
as seen in Figure 1. The strength of these brand names is reflected in the strong
market shares of each product category and the company’s overall market share
of about 30% in Vietnam’s bakery products/ confectionery market.
2
KDC 19 October 2011
KDC has an extensive network of about 200 distributors that sell KDC products to
120,000 retail outlets, including 120 large supermarkets.
When KDC acquired Kido ice cream in 2010, it also gained 65 specialist
distributors with cold-storage facilities that in turn sell KDC’s ice cream to 30,000
retail outlets. Also, parent company Kinh Do Holdings’ TRI subsidiary has 300
specialist beverage distributors that reach 100,000 retail outlets.
We believe Kinh Do’s distribution network gives KDC a strong competitive edge
against incumbent competitors and protects it against potential foreign entrants
in the future. The specialist cold storage facilities of Kido also enable KDC to
expand into other types of products such as dairy.
We expect sales to grow at a CAGR of 30% and earnings to increase by 25% over
the next five years, driven by:
Growth from Favourable Industry-Wide Prospects. Vietnam’s young
demographics and shifting consumer preferences towards branded
processed foods have made the country the fastest-growing
bakery/confectionary market in South East Asia in recent years (annual
growth of around 14% for Vietnam compared to 7% for the rest of
Asean). Continued strong growth is expected because per capita
3
KDC 19 October 2011
consumption of KDC’s products in Vietnam is less than half the per capita
consumption in the Philippines, or China.
The ongoing shift from unbranded cottage industry products to branded
consumer products will be particularly beneficial for the ice cream
business because about 50% of the market is held by the informal sector
(that mainly produces flavoured shaved ice products). Dairy-based ice
cream sales have been increasing by almost 20% a year in recent years,
which should benefit KDC which has a 48% market share in branded ice
cream and its competitor VNM, which has a 20% market share. Both
these companies have the most extensive cold products distribution
networks in the country.

Growth from New Products. Kinh Do has had some successes with
product line extensions including a new Chicken Bun product in 2009 and
the “Super Soft” Bun product of 2010, which both augmented its existing
line of savoury bun & bread products. Kido ice cream has succeeded in
reaching a wider range of consumers with its brands that are aimed at
both the premium segment (Celano) and the middle segment (Merino).
We believe Kinh Do will continue both of these growth strategies in the
future.
The company could also enter new food businesses that leverage off the
existing businesses. For example, the cold-storage facilities of KDC’s ice
cream business could facilitate entry into the dairy business.
In addition to product line extensions, KDC is contemplating the
possibility of entering the instant noodles business and the fish sauce
businesses. However, these businesses are already quite competitive and
the per capita consumption of noodles in Vietnam is relatively high. On
the other hand, our understanding is that the company would contract
out the production and focus on the branding and distribution, which
would minimise capital outlays.
Finally, we note that both KDC and the unlisted parent company KDH are
invested in food businesses that could be future sources of growth. The
Kido ice cream acquisition is an example of that.
Growth from Marketing & Sales. The company reduced its focus on sales
and marketing in 2008–2009 during which it was preoccupied with
financial investments and real estate development. As a result, it allowed
4
KDC 19 October 2011
In 2010, KDC issued 18.2m new shares to take over fellow Kinh Do Holdings’
(KDH) group members, North Kinh Do and Kido ice cream. North Kinh Do was a
listed stock (NKD) whose business and gross margins were similar to KDC
(although it focused on the north of Vietnam). The combined sales of NKD and
Kido constituted roughly 80% of the sales of KDC; thus, the merger resulted in a
near doubling of the size of KDC.
5
KDC 19 October 2011
The three best ways to gain exposure to the processed food business in Vietnam
are VNM, MSN and KDC:
Here is a quick synopsis of the main differences between VNM, KDC and Masan
Consumer. Note that it is not feasible for ordinary investors to purchase MC’s
OTC shares so this is a hypothetical analysis – investors would normally need to
buy MSN shares which include the mine and the bank.
VNM and KDC products have better growth potential than MC. The
products Masan Food specializes in (noodles, sauces and now coffee) are
already consumed in high per capita proportions in Vietnam so MC has
achieved its excellent business performance by sheer management skill.
It entered existing fragmented markets with complacent incumbent
competitors and stole market share (in the case of sauces it stole share
from unbranded products).
VNM valuation is more attractive than KDC and MC. Vinamilk is trading
around 11x PE versus 17.6% expected growth in 2011 compared to KDC’s
11x versus 7.6% expected core earnings growth. As an OTC share MC
does not trade regularly but the most recent, highly visible transaction
was KKR’s recent purchase of 10% of the company at 17 times 2011
earnings versus 47% expected earnings growth in 2011.
6
KDC 19 October 2011
Over 30% of KDC’s balance sheet comprises investments. Investment gains and
losses have caused considerable volatility to Kinh Do’s earnings. In 2008, all of
the company’s operating earnings were wiped out by stock market losses
(although sales grew by 18%). However, these losses were largely reversed by the
improved performance of the stock market in 2009. In 2011, pre-tax earnings will
decline by about 38% due to extraordinary gains from real estate in 2010
(earnings without real estate gains would have increased by about 21% in 2011).
In order to strip away the year-to-year volatility of these gains and losses, we
looked at KDC’s cumulative earnings over the last five years.
We estimate that the company’s cumulative 5 year profit is attributable to:
50% Core business
25% Realised profits from the sale of real estate projects
20% Unrealised real estate profits from increased land values
As can be seen in the table below, the company has three types of investments:
1) real estate, 2) a stock market portfolio of over 30 different shares, and 3)
KDH’s intra-group related investments – recall that KDC is a part of the larger
Kinh Do Holdings (KDH) group.
In our opinion KDC’s stock market portfolio and real estate investments are a
result of the “Japan-like” stock market bubble that occurred in Vietnam during
2006 and 2007. At that time, Vietnamese companies issued new shares at highly-
inflated valuations and then invested the proceeds into the stock and real estate
markets, which further perpetuated the bubble (This is exactly what happened in
Japan in the late 1980’s, although companies issued warrant bonds). KDC issued
10m new shares in 2007, which brought in proceeds of $110m.
7
KDC 19 October 2011
KDC is part of the larger, unlisted Kinh Do Holdings (KDH) group. Though the
group is focused on food, it also includes operations in real estate (Kinh Do Land),
as well as a wide range of other investments and interests.
We see two risks in investing in a listed company that is part of a broader
unlisted group of companies:
1) It is not 100%-clear what you are investing in because the parent
company may move businesses and/or investments in (or out) of the
8
KDC 19 October 2011
Other Risks
In our view, the primary risk for Kinh Do (aside from its own preoccupation with
real estate) is the threat of increased competition in the market, especially from
foreign entrants. To date, only Korea’s Orion and Lotte have made any serious in-
roads into the market. Orion set up its own factories in 2000 and now has the
number-two market share position, while Lotte bought 38% in Bibica (BBC) in
2007. Unilever, whose strength lies in detergents in Vietnam, also has some
nascent ice cream and fish sauce operations in the 2000s. It pulled away from the
fish sauce business and sold its Wall’s ice cream business to KDH. (The current
Kido ice cream business had its genesis in the Walls purchase.) Wall’s is now
attempting to re-enter the market after a mandatory five-year non-compete
9
KDC 19 October 2011
period. However, the company is finding it difficult to do so, as it must import the
ice cream from Thailand that does not have a strong distribution network.
We believe that Vietnam’s attractive growth prospects will attract other foreign
companies in the future. KDC’s extensive distribution network will present a
significant competitive advantage against potential new entrants, but foreign
consumer brand names may hold more appeal to Vietnam’s aspiring middle
class. One possible scenario is that KDC’s shareholders could benefit from new
foreign entrants because these entrants could decide to buy some (or all) of the
company for its distribution network. Currently, KDC has minor partnerships with
Cadbury Schweppes and China’s Uni-president, which could ultimately lead to
more significant investments.
While KDC’s distribution network could protect it from losing market share to
foreign entrants, increased competition could prevent everyone in the industry
from being able to pass on input cost increases to consumers. About 65% of
KDC’s inputs including flour, sugar, and milk are imported. For instance, when
sugar prices doubled in 2010, the company was able to pass much of these cost
increases on to customers. Gross margins were 33% in 2009 and 35% in 2010.
However, in the future, it may no longer be possible to pass on such large input
cost increases in the face of tougher competition.
A different risk to the company originates with small local retailers in Vietnam,
who sometimes commingle KDC’s branded products with cheap, unbranded
products on their shelf space. They do this in an attempt to charge a similar price
for unbranded products as for the branded products. If the unwitting consumer
purchases the unbranded product, then the clever retailer pockets the difference
between the real cost of the unbranded product and the price of the branded
product! To combat this problem, KDC is improving the quality of its packaging to
make it more immediately obvious to the consumer which product is the high-
quality branded product.
Financial Analysis
In 9M11, KDC’s core pretax profits (for the combined KDC, NKD, and Kido
company) increased by 23.5% y-o-y to VND382b, on the back of a y-o-y increase
of 30.1% in sales to VND3,050b. Note that the profit growth figure of 23.5%
excludes the extraordinary gains of VND412b from the sale of the Saigon Kim
Cuong real estate project in 2010.
Sales growth was driven by a 10%-increase in volume and a 20%-increase in
average selling prices (in line with inflation). Raw material costs increased by
about 23%, but KDC was able to maintain a gross margin of around 40% by
passing on input cost increases to consumers.
10
KDC 19 October 2011
We expect KDC to grow at a faster rate than in the recent past because of
improved economies of scale & synergies from mergers with NKD and Kido,
increased capacity, and the company’s apparent renewed focus on its core
business.
We expect these factors to result in overall annual sales growth of 30% in 2011-
2015, compared to average sales growth of 18% over the past five years (for our
individual product line sales growth forecasts, see Figure 1).
Despite expected sales growth of 30% over the period, we expect profit to grow
at the CAGR of 25% due to increased competition. Essentially, the increased
competition will: 1) require the company to continue increasing selling expenses
and 2) make it slightly harder for KDC to pass on increased input prices to
customers. We expect the increased marketing spending (as a % of sales) to
taper off about 2-3 years later, as KDC rebuilds its brand equities.
This means that our five-year earnings growth forecast of 25% is skewed to the
later years. We also expect better earnings growth rates from 2013 onwards, as
we expect greater stability in Vietnam’s economic situation and soft commodity
prices. We also think that real synergies from the merger would not start making
a meaningful impact on KDC’s earnings for at least another year.
The mergers will help KDC’s profit margin in two ways: First, the combined entity
is much larger, which will give KDC economies of scale in production and better
negotiating power, especially for non-commodity expenses such as packaging
and advertising, etc. Second, the addition of Kido improves the product mix,
which is already evident in the 9M11 results, as KDC was able to increase gross
margins in the face of input cost hikes. Going forward, we expect gross margins
to remain at over 35% for FY12-15.
Finally, in view of the gloomy real estate market, we project no profit
contributions from real estate over the next few years.
11
KDC 19 October 2011
Valuation
We believe the stock is trading at a reasonable, although uncompelling,
valuation, compared to regional peers and its own recent valuation range.
We expect KDC to deliver an EPS CAGR of 25% over 2011-2015. However, there
are risks to that projection, the most prominent of which are KDC’s historic
preoccupation with real estate development and input price volatility, as 65% of
the inputs are imported.
We maintain our HOLD recommendation with the target price of VND33,500
predicated on 9.5x PE (FY12E).
