l Equity Research l China l Industrial Transportation 16 April 2014 COSCO Pacific Potential Qingdao Port IPO could crystallise value COSCO Pacific’s (CP) valuation at 11x 2014E PER is OUTPERFORM (unchanged) compelling, in our view. Both forward PER and PBR are PRICE as of 15 Apr 2014 PRICE TARGET lower than 1SD below the five-year average. 1Q14 ended with the closure of CP’s USD 212mn acquisition of a stake in Asia Container Terminal (ACT). We think CP is back in the acquisition mode, which should drive nonorganic growth higher. A potential IPO in the China port sector in 2014 could be a catalyst. ACT acquisition to facilitate mega vessel calls. In March 2014, CP acquired a 40% stake in ACT from Hutchison Port (HPHT SP, OP, PT SGD 0.75) at a USD 212mn consideration. The deal valuation appears inexpensive from an assets perspective, but expensive from an earnings perspective. Previously, ACT sourced almost all cargo from HPHT at a low transaction price; hence earnings were downward biased. We believe CP is likely to improve ACT’s EBITDA margin to the level of COSCO-HIT Terminals, as joint operations allow them to serve mega container vessels more efficiently. Potential Qingdao Port IPO could crystallise value. According to a Bloomberg report on 31 March, Qingdao Port Group plans to raise c.USD 500mn through an IPO in HK in 2Q14. CP has two JVs with Qingdao Port Group – Qiangdao Qianwan Container Terminal (CP owns 20%) and Dongjiakou Iron Ore Terminal (CP owns 25%). We think a potential IPO will partially crystallise the value of CP’s stakes in the two JVs and serve as a catalyst. Leasing yields should improve. We expect leasing yields to recover to 10% in 2014 from 9.3% in 2013, as container inventory has been digested after global leasing firms slowed expansion in 2H13. While container liners will continue to receive mega vessels in 2014-16 and have sharply cut their capex for boxes, they will source boxes mainly from leasing firms. CP has a more aggressive container purchase plan in 2014 for satisfying COSCO Container Lines’ demand and thus revenue should increase with fleet expansion of 12%, in our estimates. Valuations. We lower our 2014/15E earnings by 25%/26% due to slower than expected recovery in global trade. We roll over our SOTP-based valuation to 2014 and trim our PT to HKD 12.5 from HKD 13.0.

CP has two joint ventures with Qingdao Port Group – Qingdao Qianwan Container Terminal (QQCT, 20% owned by CP) and Dongjiakou Iron Ore Terminal (DJK Terminal, 25% owned by CP). We think Qingdao Port is the best quality port in North China. Qingdao Port is the largest container port in Northern China and its strong growth is supported by competitive industries in Shangdong Province. Qingdao is also one of the largest ore ports in China and should benefit from China’s increasing dependence on imported ores. Given high utilisation and limited space for expansion in the existing port area, the Qingdao municipal government has chosen Dongjiakou, 80km away from the existing port area, to expand. A doubling of capacity in Dongjiakou should facilitate Qiangdao Port’s long-term growth. We think a potential IPO of Qingdao Port Group will partially crystallise the value of CP’s stake in the QQCT and DJK Terminals and serve as a share price catalyst. Qingdao Port: In a sweet spot Qingdao Port was the sixth-largest container port, the largest iron ore port and the largest oil port in China in 2013. Qingdao Port and Guangzhou Port are the only two unlisted ports among the top ten ports in China.

Port areas The broader Qingdao Port consists of four areas – Qianwan Port Area, Dongkiakou Port Area (DJK Port Area), Qingdao Old Port Area and Huangdao Oil Port Area. 16 April 2014 5 Equity Research l COSCO Pacific 16 April 2014 1) Qianwan Port Area is a major operating area and accounts for 80% of the total throughput of Qingdao Port. There are a total of 29 berths in four phases of Qianwan Port area. QQCT owns and operates all 21 container berths (including 15 that are operational and 6 to be developed) in Qianwan Port Area directly or via joint ventures, and handles 100% container throughput of the Qingdao Port. After the Qingado municipal government approved the Qingdao Dongjiakou Port Area Development Plan in 2008, Qianwan Port Area is positioned to focus on international container handling, and its bulk cargos and domestic containers will be gradually diverted to DKJ Port Area. 2) DJK Port Area is a newly developed port area with an aim to double Qingdao Port’s capacity in the long run. It has a total of 112 berths and designed capacity of 370mt. Currently, it has 20 berths in 6 terminals that are operational, with a total handling capacity of 220mt. Given the port area is relatively new, utilisation was only 32% in 2013. It is located 80km south-west of Qianwan Port Area and covers a land area of 150 sqkm. 3) Qingdao Old Port Area is the closet to the city centre of Qingdao and is being redeveloped to operate as a cruise terminal. The cruise terminal building is under construction and will likely start operations in 2015. 4) Huangdao Oil Port Area is engaged in oil and LNG handling, representing 40% of the crude oil handled in Qingdao Port. After the deadly oil pipe explosion accident in November 2013, the Qingdao municipal governmnet decided to relocate crude oil terminals to DJK Port Area. 6 Equity Research l COSCO Pacific CP’s presence in Qingdao Port Qianwan Port Area – QQCT Container handling in Qianwan Port Area, including 21 berths, are run and owned by QQCT directly or via its subsidiaries and joint ventures. A four-party joint venture, including CP (20%), Dubai World (29%), Maersk (20%) and Qingdao Port Group (31%) own QQCT. Some of QQCT’s berths are owned and run by joint ventures formed by QQCT or its subsidiaries and other companies, including China Merchants Holdings (CMH), Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) and SITC International Holdings.

Currently, there are two iron ore berths that are operational (one 300k dwt and one 200k dwt). Both are operated by DJK Terminal. The throughput of the two berths represented c.26% of total iron ore throughput of Qingdao Port in 2013. In May 2013, a joint venture was formed by CP (owns a 25% stake in the JV), CMH (25%), Qingdao Port Group (30%) and IMC Group (20%) to acquire DJK Terminal from Qingdao Port Group at a consideration of RMB 1.4bn. The capital was injected in February 2014 and CP and CMH should start booking joint-venture profits from 2Q14. The designed handling capacity of DJK Terminal is 29mt currently and could be expanded to 59mt. It was running at close to full utilisation in 2013. 16 April 2014 7 Equity Research l COSCO Pacific Figure 8: Shareholding structure of Dongjiakou Iron Ore Terminal If Qingdao Port Group is listed, it could partially crystallise the value of CP’s stake in DJK Terminal COSCO Pacific 25% China Merchants Holdings 25% Qingdao Port Group IMC Group 30% 20% Dongjiakou Iron Ore Terminal Source: Respective companies, Standard Chartered Research DJK Port Area – other projects A total of six terminals in DJK Port Area are operational. Besides DJK Terminal, other terminals that are operational include Huaneng Multi-purpose Terminal Project and Expansion Projects (51% invested by Huaneng Power International and 49% by Qingdao Port Group). Terminal projects under construction in DJK Port Area include Shandong LNG Terminal Phase I and Datang Multi-purpose Terminal. Many petrochemical companies have signed joint ventures with Qingdao Port Group to develop terminals in DJK Port Area, including Sinopec and Vopak. 16 April 2014 8 Equity Research l COSCO Pacific Income statement (USD mn) Year-end: Dec Sales Gross profit SG&A Other income Other expenses EBIT Net interest Associates Other non-operational Exceptional items Pre-tax profit Taxation Minority interests Exceptional items after tax Net profit Cash flow statement (USD mn) 2012 736 315 (92) 2 0 225 (68) 223 0 2 382 (28) (12) 0 342 2013 799 318 (90) 11 0 239 (66) 177 7 394 751 (33) (15) 0 703 2014E 920 371 (101) 2 0 272 (59) 166 6 0 386 (27) (7) 0 352 2015E 1,017 429 (112) 3 0 320 (69) 187 5 0 443 (35) (8) 0 399 2016E 1,110 487 (122) 3 0 368 (69) 206 5 0 509 (41) (10) 0 459 333 393 309 429 353 476 400 560 460 620 0.13 0.12 0.05 2,712 0.25 0.11 0.10 2,816 0.12 0.13 0.05 2,816 0.14 0.14 0.06 2,816 0.16 0.16 0.07 2,816 Year-end: Dec Cash Short-term investments Accounts receivable Inventory Other current assets Total current assets 2012 849 0 222 13 9 1,092 2013 1,238 0 224 19 0 1,481 2014E 281 0 259 22 0 562 2015E 205 0 286 24 0 515 2016E 132 0 312 26 0 469 PP&E Intangible assets Associates and JVs Other long-term assets Total long-term assets 3,718 10 2,206 338 6,271 4,168 10 1,498 395 6,070 5,289 10 1,581 395 7,274 5,528 10 1,674 395 7,607 5,789 10 1,777 395 7,971 Total assets 7,364 7,551 7,836 8,122 8,440 Short-term debt Accounts payable Other current liabilities Total current liabilities 775 358 7 1,141 276 465 90 830 276 531 90 896 276 569 90 935 276 603 90 968 Long-term debt Convertible bonds Deferred tax Other long-term liabilities Total long-term liabilities 1,827 0 0 179 2,006 1,770 0 0 107 1,878 1,770 0 0 107 1,878 1,770 0 0 107 1,878 1,770 0 0 107 1,878 Total liabilities 3,146 2,708 2,774 2,812 2,846 Shareholders’ funds Minority interests 3,954 263 4,546 297 4,757 305 4,997 313 5,272 323 Total equity 4,217 4,843 5,062 5,310 5,595 Total liabilities and equity 7,364 7,551 7,836 8,122 8,440 Net debt (cash) Year-end shares (mn) 1,752 2,712 809 2,816 1,765 2,816 1,841 2,816 1,914 2,816 Net profit adj.
