Research Weekly Asia Avian flu: Lessons learned from SARS in 2003
Private Banking

Concerns about avian flu outbreak in China Rising death toll, disease spreads to Beijing and Henan The recent outbreak of avian flu in China has dampened investment sentiment towards Chinese equities. By 14 April, the number of confirmed H7N9 cases in China had increased to 60, with the death toll rising to 13 and the disease spreading from Eastern China to Beijing and the central province of Henan (Figure 1). The recent outbreak of avian flu has taken a tragic toll on human lives. Both the Chinese government and the World Health Organization (WHO) are stepping up coordinated precautionary efforts to contain the disease. Credit Suisse is not providing an investment recommendation in anticipation of a further spread of the disease. However, for informational purposes and in response to increasing investor concerns about the potential market implications of the bird flu outbreak, we examine in this report the lessons learnt from the deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in 2003, which infected 8,096 Figure 1 Number of reported H7N9 cases in China (as of 14 April)

Highlights

The recent outbreak of avian flu in China has dampened investment sentiment towards Chinese equities. It is too early to assess the pandemic potential of the current avian flu outbreak in China and its fundamental impact. We examine the market and economic performance during the SARS crisis in 2003 and find that market reactions and the macroeconomic impact tend to be short-lived, market-focused and sectorspecific.

people and claimed 774 lives worldwide. At this point, the WHO says that there is no evidence yet of human-to-human transmission of the H7N9 virus, and the organization is not recommending any travel restrictions be applied. Short-term market jitters We believe that it is too early to assess the pandemic potential of avian flu and estimate the market impact of a real and widespread pandemic, which is not our base-case scenario. But the SARS crisis in 2003 shows us that market reactions to the pandemic were short-lived, while the fundamental impact was very market-focused and sector-specific. The SARS experience shows us that markets generally perceive emerging markets as more vulnerable to pandemic risks, due to their lower spending on healthcare and medical services. Since China and Hong Kong were at the epicenter of the SARS outbreak, the Hang Seng Index underperformed the global markets by 15% during the crisis period, but sharply turned around to outperform the MSCI World in the postSARS recovery period in H2 2003 (Figure 2). What can we learn from SARS? As the current avian flu outbreak is concentrated in the Eastern China region, the Chinese and Hong Kong equity markets are the most sensitive to the news flow related to the outbreak. The SARS example suggests that the market impact of the pandemic should be temporary and very sector-specific. From the pre-SARS peak on 24 February until 27 April 2003, when the WHO declared that the SARS epidemic was under control, both the MSCI Asia ex-Japan and the Hang Seng Index declined by only 9% from peak to trough (Figure 3). While the SARS-induced market correction was pronounced and brief, the MSCI Asia ex-Japan sharply rebounded 58% from the SARS-trough on 25 April 2003 to 255 at the end of 2003, thanks to strong government stimulus measures to revive the economy across Asia. From the pre-SARS peak on 24 February until 27 April 2003, the MSCI China lost 10.7%,

but the index strongly rebounded by 30.6% three months after 27 April. SARS impact was market-focused and sector-specific With respect to sector implications, Asian aviation, transportation, travel and hotel stocks were hit the hardest by the SARS crisis. During the SARS epidemic, tourist arrivals plunged across Asia, falling 60%80% year-on-year (YoY) in Q2 2003 in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, and 30%-50% YoY in South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines (Figure 4). The fundamental impact of H7N9 on the travel and tourism-related sectors will largely hinge on whether the WHO recommends travel restrictions. Based on the SARS example, the sectors which are expected to underperform during a more severe and widespread avian flu outbreak are aviation, transportation, tourism and travel, while the consumer staples, energy and utilities sectors are expected to stay relatively resilient. Fan Cheuk Wan, cheukwan.fan@credit-suisse.com Economic impact of SARS on China and Asia Temporary impact of SARS on Chinese economy Whereas the first known case of SARS in China was detected in November 2002, the outbreak only gained wider public attention in late-February 2003. The outbreak peaked in April 2003, and by June, the disease had been largely contained. The negative impact on economic activity in China and other Asian economies was thus mainly confined to Q2 2003, and pent-up demand helped drive a sharp rebound in economic activity in H2 2003. China's gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate fell abruptly from 10.8% YoY in Q1 2003 to 7.9% YoY in Q2 as a result of a drop in economic activity, ranging from passenger travel to retail sales and industrial production (Figure 5). After accounting for Q2 seasonal effects, the impact was estimated to be around 2.4% points, or about 0.6% points on an 2

annualized basis. By Q4 2003, growth had normalized with GDP growing by 9.9% YoY. The impact of SARS varied across the different sectors of the Chinese economy. The impact on passenger travel was most pronounced, but also short-lived. Railway and airline passenger volume plunged 61% and 71% YoY, respectively, in May, but by August, passenger traffic had normalized. YoY retail sales growth fell by more than half, dropping from an average of 14% in JanuaryFebruary 2003 to reach 6.5% YoY in May, although it bounced back quickly to 14.6% YoY in July. On a relative basis, industrial production (IP) and trade appeared least affected by the SARS outbreak. IP growth moderated from an average of 17.3% YoY in January February 2003, reaching a low of 13.7% YoY in May, before recovering to 16.9% in June. Exports were barely affected, with growth rates remaining high at around 34% YoY in Q2 2003. Limited impact of SARS on Chinas inflation The crisis had limited discernible effect on inflation during the crisis period in Q2 2003, but inflation rose quickly in H2 2003, Figure 6 SARS impact on Chinas inflation rate in 2003

when demand rebounded. Prices of meat and poultry in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) were stable in Q2, despite a sharp drop in poultry demand, as there was likely some substitution effect that led to higher prices of pork and other meat products. CPI meat prices rose sharply in H2 2003, however, due to an undersupply of poultry as demand gradually normalized. In general, the pricing power of retailers in Q2 2003 was weak as a result of reduced consumer spending during the crisis. As such, inflation was low at 0.7% YoY in Q2, but rose steadily in H2 2003 to reach 3.3% in December (Figure 6). Small open economies in Asia were hardest hit in 2003 During the SARS outbreak, other Asian economies were temporarily hurt by the slowdown in tourist arrivals and retail spending. In particular, the small open economies of Hong Kong and Singapore witnessed the sharpest swings in growth outcomes. Singapore's economy contracted by 4.7% QoQ (saar basis) in Q2 2003, but staged a strong growth recovery in Q3 of 23.5%. The recovery extended into 2004, with QoQ growth averaging 11.5% in the next two quarters. In Hong Kong, the economy contracted at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 2.4% QoQ in Q2 2003, but similarly rebounded by 6.1% in Q3. Property sales fell sharply, with prices falling to the lowest point in July 2003. Hong Kong's deflation cycle also bottomed at 4.0% in July 2003. Dennis Tan, dennis.tan@credit-suisse.com Implications of avian flu for Asian aviation sector Do not panic by selling Chinese and Hong Kong airlines In the absence of a widespread outbreak of the disease, we maintain our positive fundamental view on Chinese airlines. In our view, the markets response to the risk of a pandemic has become more rational since the SARS outbreak. During the SARS crisis, the shares of Asian airlines tumbled 25%43%. During the 2009 swine flu episode, the share prices of 3

Chinese airlines briefly dipped 15%20%, followed by sharp a rebound within two weeks. Therefore, we advise against panic selling Chinese and Hong Kong airline stocks at this point, particularly when a stream of positive factors, including lower fuel prices, a strengthening CNY and stabilizing outbound traffic to Japan, are in play to boost profitability. On a 612 month strategic investment horizon, we maintain our positive fundamental view on Cathay Pacific (293 HK, BUY) and Air China (753 HK, BUY), as their prevailing price-to-book valuations of 0.85 and 1.2, respectively, are at the lower end of their respective historical valuation ranges. Yu Wenchi, wenchi.yu@credit-suisse.com ASEAN airlines with company-specific drivers

episode indicates that share price performance, even within the airline sector, can be expected to remain very companyspecific. Between March and September 2009, SIAs (SIA SP, HOLD) underperformance relative to the Straits Times Index troughed at around 37%, while AirAsia (AIRA MK, BUY) was far more resilient, with its performance relative to the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index reaching a trough of just 4.7%. We believe that as a full-service carrier, SIA could continue to face headwinds from a challenging operating environment and high fuel costs. Despite rising competition, we believe AirAsia remains well positioned to capture growing demand for low-cost air travel in Asia, supported by rising income levels, superior brand equity and its leading position among low-cost airlines. Adam Quek, adam.quek@credit-suisse.com

In Southeast Asia, we expect the potential impact of avian flu on aviation stocks to be relatively short-lived, barring an escalation of the outbreak. The swine flu outbreak in 2009 saw ASEAN airline stocks initially decline by 5%10% before rebounding firmly a month later. However, the swine flu

Emerging market debts update

Recent news and commentaries Fitch lowers Chinas local currency debt rating On 9 April, Fitch lowered Chinas local currency debt rating by one notch to A+ from AA - with a stable outlook. Fitchs local currency rating on China is now one notch below that assigned by S&P and Moodys. For Ministry of Finance (MoF)-issued dim sum bonds, the Fitch rating will now be capped at A+, lowered from AA-. Fitchs foreign currency rating for Chinas external debt remains A+, which is also lower than the ratings assigned by Moodys (Aa3) and S&P (AA -). According to Fitch, the rating action was driven by its concerns about a buildup in bank credit to the private sector, which reached 135.7% of the gross domestic product (GDP) at end-2012. Including various forms of shadow banking activities, Fitch said that the ratio would be even higher. Moodys placed the senior and subordinated notes issued by several Russian banks, including Sberbank, VTB, Russian Agricultural Bank (RSHB) and Alfa Bank (subordinated only), on review for a possible downgrade on 2 April. According to the rating agency, the action was driven by its concerns that the Russian governments capacity and willingness to provide systemic support to large banks in times of systemic stress could potentially be lower than previously anticipated by the rating agency. Moodys is concerned that lower oil prices could impair the Russian states ability to support its banking system, and the implementation of a privatization plan may lead to a somewhat higher likelihood of the inclusion of market solutions regarding the provision of support for large troubled banks in the event of need. Our view is that during the 20082009 financial crisis, the states willingness to support sy stemic banks was never in doubt. Moreover, privatization is a gradual process which is not going to be completed in the near term, and some caution is warranted. Market participants have noted Moodys tendency to overrate Russian banks in contrast to the o ther two rating agencies. We note that Moodys rating on Sberbank is two notches above the BBB rating assigned by Fitch, while the Baa1 rating of VTB and RSHB is one notch above Fitchs (BBB). We believe the rating actions by Moodys on 2 April might have some impact on the market if they are coupled with weak market sentiment, but they should not trigger a selloff in bonds issued by these banks. In the medium term, we still believe the three state-controlled banks will continue to receive state support. Sberbank was the first top Russian bank to announce its 2012 results. S&P has placed its BB rating on Vedanta Resources PLC on CreditWatch with negative implications, as it believes the company has made slower-than-expected progress in funding its upcoming debt maturities. However, S&P also said that it understood that Vedanta has tied up the majority of the funds for its USD 809 million debt maturing on 29 April and was in the process of securing funding for USD 1.35 billion due in June 2013. It also said that it expected Vedanta to eventually garner funding for the debt maturities. S&Ps action follows that of Moodys which placed Vedantas Ba3 rating on review for a possible downgrade (see Research Daily dated 27 March 2013). Vedantas upcoming refinancing is not new information and we believe the rating agencies are taking a conservative view on the rating. We have a BUY recommendation on Vedantas 5.5% 2016 convertible bond, given its reasonably attractive yield. Bank of Ceylon is 100%-owned by the government of Sri Lanka and is rated B1 and BB- by Moodys and Fitch respectively. It is the largest commercial bank in t he country with assets of USD 8.5 bn as at end-2012. The bank has good asset quality as evidenced by its low non-performing loans ratio of 2.8% as of year-end 2012, compared with 2.20% as of December 2011. With healthy profitability ratios with a net interest margin of 3.8% in 2012, the bank reported net income of USD 115 m on operating income of USD 419 m. Its capitalization is satisfactory with Tier 1 ratio of 8.9% and total capitalization ratio 12.4% in December 2012. The key risk to the credit stems from its link to the Sri Lanka sovereign and the countrys dependence on international funding. We view this bond attractive for carry.

Global equity strategy

US earnings season commences Alcoa kicked off the US earnings season with decent headline earnings, although its revenue figures disappointed. This may set the tone for the rest of the quarter as companies try to squeeze costs against a background of muted headline growth. Compared to this time last year, earnings are expected to grow by less than 1%, with cyclicals weaker and financials, telecoms and staples stronger on a relative sector basis. In recent months, corporate outlook updates have tended to err on the negative side (by a factor of 3 to 1 according to Bloomberg), with FedEx being a case in point. The latest significant reports were JPMorgan and Wells Fargo last Friday. In both cases, earnings growth was impressively higher compared with the same time last year, though revenue growth fell short of expectations. Globally, earnings momentum is still negative, though pointing up, led by Japan. The US and Switzerland are the next best regions, with the Eurozone being the weakest of the large regions in terms of earnings revisions. Market performance has tended to follow earnings momentum trends and, of course, central bank policy. There is a marked difference in performance between regions where monetary and/or fiscal policy is becoming less accommodative, either by accident or design, and where weak earnings momentum is weak. Europe and parts of the EM complex stand out in this respect. Conversely, regions with positive earnings momentum and very easy monetary policy continue to do well and, here again, Japan and the US are the leading regions.

IC1 view
Tactical 16M

Overview
Overall we stay neutral, but following a small rise in yields for highyield and hard currency EM, we now favor these bond classes. We stay positive, as valuations stay undemanding despite downward revisions to earnings, and easy money supports investor inflows. We downgrade tactically to neutral as demand suffers from the temporary growth slowdown. Equities: Valuations richer, but some upside strategically. Direct real estate: Attractive rental carry. We favor small/mid-sized LBOs, emerging markets and private debt funds. We overweight directional strategies, such as Ems and long-short. We maintain our positive stance for global macro. Technicals favor a mild upward bias to EUR/USD. Decisive BoJ action suggests JPY is vulnerable to further weakness.

Moving averages are popular and versatile for identifying price trends. They smooth out fluctuations in market prices, thereby making it easier to determine underlying trends. Their other function is to signal significant changes in direction as early as possible. Generally, if the market were in an uptrend or downtrend, a longer time period would be used. If it is consolidating, the shorter time frame would catch the minor moves more easily. Moving averages are lagging indicators and give signals after the price trend has already turned. Momentum indicators lead the price trend. They give signals before the price trend turns. Once momentum provides a signal, it has to be confirmed by a moving-average crossover. For a short introduction to technical analysis, we refer readers to TECHNICAL ANALYSIS EXPLAINED at http://www.credit-suisse.com/techresearch Please note that due to local regulatory requirements access to these web links may be restricted for clients in certain countries.

Stop loss rules: Stop losses are based on the 3-month historical volatility. If 2 x weekly standard deviation is <= 5% of the stock price at inception, then a stop loss would be set at 5%. If 2x standard deviation is >= 5% of the stock price since inception, then a stop loss would be set at 2 times standard deviations. At the start of a trade, the stop loss is applied per recommendation, i.e. for the whole group of stocks comprised in the same recommendation. Once the whole trade turns positive and the stop loss moves to positive territory, we apply a new stop loss on an individual basis, i.e. per stock and not per recommendation. For long/short positions, please note that as of 20.09.05, the stop loss applies to the performance spread between long and positions and would be expressed in percentage terms. Weighting: All recommendations would have a full weight with the following exceptions: 1) A single stock recommendation would have systematically a weight of 0.5 if the stop loss at inception is at - 5%; 2) A single stock recommendation would have systematically a weight of 0.25 if the stop loss at inception is < -5%; 3) A group of stocks (i.e., a recommendation comprising more than one stock), where all stop losses at inception are < -5% would systematically have a weight of 0.5.

Important information on derivatives Pricing: Option premiums and prices mentioned are indicative only. Option premiums and prices can be subject to very rapid changes: The prices and premiums mentioned are as of the time indicated in the text and might have changed substantially in the meantime. Risks: Derivatives are complex instruments and are intended for sale only to investors who are capable of understanding and assuming all the risks involved. Investors must be aware that adding option positions to an existing portfolio may change the characteristics and behavior of that portfolio substantially. A portfolios sensitivity to certain market m oves can be heavily impacted by the leverage effect of options. Buying calls: Investors who buy call options risk the loss of the entire premium paid if the underlying security trades below the strike price at expiration. Buying puts: Investors who buy put options risk loss of the entire premium paid if the underlying security finishes above the strike price at expiration. Selling calls: Investors who sell calls commit themselves to sell the underlying for the strike price, even if the market price of the underlying is substantially higher. Investors who sell covered calls (own the underlying security and sell a call) risk limiting their upside to the strike price plus the upfront premium received and may have their security called away if the security price exceeds the strike price of the short call. Additionally, the investor has full downside participation that is only partially offset by the premium received upfront. If investors are forced to sell the underlying they might be subject to taxing. Investors shorting naked calls (i.e. selling calls but without holding the underlying security) risk unlimited losses of security price less strike price. Selling puts: Put sellers commit to buying the underlying security at the strike price in the event the security falls below the strike price. The maximum loss is the full strike price less the premium received for selling the put. Buying call spreads: Investors who buy call spreads (buy a call and sell a call with a higher strike) risk the loss of the entire premium paid if the underlying trades below the lower strike price at expiration. The maximum gain from buying call spreads is the difference between the strike prices, less the upfront premium paid. Selling naked call spreads (sell a call and buy a farther out-ofthe-money call with no underlying security position): Investors risk a maximum loss of the difference between the long call strike and the short call strike, less the upfront premium taken in, if the underlying security finishes above the long call strike at expiration. The maximum gain is the upfront premium taken in, if the security finishes below the short call strike at expiration.

Buying put spreads: Investors who buy put spreads (buy a put and sell a put with a lower strike price) also have a maximum loss of the upfront premium paid. The maximum gain from buying put spreads is the difference between the strike prices, less the upfront premium paid. Buying strangles (buy put and buy call): The maximum loss is the entire premium paid for both options, if the underlying trades between the put strike and the call strike at expiration. Selling strangles or straddles: Investors who are long a security and short a strangle or straddle risk capping their upside in the security to the strike price of the call that is sold plus the upfront premium received. Additionally, if the security trades below the strike price of the short put, investors risk losing the difference between the strike price and the security price (less the value of the premium received) on the short put and will also experience losses in the security position if they owns shares. The maximum potential loss is the full value of the strike price (less the value of the premium received) plus losses on the long security position. Investors who are short naked strangles or straddles have unlimited potential loss since, if the security trades above the call strike price, investors risk losing the difference between the strike price and the security price (less the value of the premium received) on the short call. In addition, they are obligated to buy the security at the put strike price (less upfront premium received) if the security finishes below the put strike price at expiration.

Risk disclosure Investors should consider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision. For a discussion of the risks of investing in the securities mentioned in this report, please refer to the following Internet link:
https://research.credit-suisse.com/riskdisclosure

CS may not have taken any steps to ensure that the securities referred to in this report are suitable for any particular investor. CS will not treat recipients as its customers by virtue of their receiving the report. The investments or services contained or referred to in this report may not be suitable for you and it is recommended that you consult an independent investment advisor if you are in doubt about such investments or investment services. Nothing in this report constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice or a representation that any investment or strategy is suitable or appropriate to your individual circumstances or otherwise constitutes a personal recommendation to you. The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADRs, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk.

Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realized. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment, in such circumstances you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realizable and it may be difficult to sell or realize those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.

Credit Suisse HOLT With respect to the analysis in this report based on the HOLT(tm) methodology, Credit Suisse certifies that (1) the views expressed in this report accurately reflect the HOLT methodology and (2) no part of the Firm's compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the specific views disclosed in this report. The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign ratings to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default variables and incorporated into the algorithms available in the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided

by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. These adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes the baseline valuation for a security, and a user then may adjust the default variables to produce alternative scenarios, any of which could occur. The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign a price target to a security. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The default variables may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur. Additional information about the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology is available on request.
