Local leaders in fast-growing niches set to flourish; initiate on Aisino (CL-Buy), Yonyou (Sell)
A small, but fast growing market
Chinas software / IT services industry is small in a
global context at US$25 bn - only 5% of the US. It is
also low relative to GDP at 0.3% (vs 3% in the US)
and makes up only 7% of Chinas overall IT spend,
vs a global average of 34%. We see two reasons for
this under-penetration: a bias to Manufacturing in
the economy; and low pricing. We expect the gaps
to narrow, however, as Services raises its share of
GDP and as China firms look to harvest efficiencies
to compete globally. Gartner forecasts 10% CAGR
in China software / IT services over 2014-19 (vs 3%
globally), with spending reaching US$41bn in 2019.

How we identify potential local winners: Overview of segments and key participants
Despite many challenges and intense competition in the sector, we see opportunities in some niches with higher entry barriers and
stronger growth. We identify eight verticals that meet our two key selection criteria:
(a) Stronger growth than the overall software/IT system in the next five years.
(b) Highly local characteristics and a fragmented customer bases that set higher barriers to entry for global firms and new
entrants. These segments have a higher concentration of top 3 players, which imply a higher entry barrier for small firms.
Within these eight subsectors, we find tax control, mapping & navigation, intelligent speech, financial - securities, and restaurants &
hotels have higher market concentration than the other three. We initiate coverage on: Aisino with CL-Buy for its solid growth in
tax control system and attractive valuation, and Neutral on Hundsun and Shiji Info on their fuller valuation. We initiate on Yonyou
with Sell on its demanding valuation and low visibility in its new business. We upgrade iFLYTek to Buy from Neutral on the rapid
ramp up in the intelligent speech market and downgrade Ultrapower to Neutral from Buy on slowdown in its core ITSM segment
and its lack of long-term growth driver.

China software and IT spending small in real terms and as a share of GDP and overall IT spend
Gartner estimates that US$25 billion was spent on software (US$8bn) and IT services (US$17bn) in China in 2014 making up only
2% of global spending and equivalent to 5% of US spending. This is considerably less proportionally than its share of GDP 14% of
Global GDP and equivalent to 58% of US GDP (Exhibits 9 & 11). This US$25 billion on software/IT services made up only 7% of
Chinas total overall IT spending, compared with 34% worldwide, 47% for the US, 42% for Japan, and 22% for India (Exhibit 10).
A useful way to illustrate the variance between countries is to assess spending as a share of GDP as it removes the impact from
pricing differences. China software/IT services spending as a share of GDP, at 0.3%, is a third of that in India, and around a tenth of
that in the US. Although India is renowned for its IT outsourcing which may have some positive impact on domestic software/IT
services spending for infrastructure construction we do not think it makes up the entire differential in spending between India and
China as outsourcing is growing in China and the rapidly growing e-commerce sector requires growing IT infrastructure. We also
note that the ratio in Thailand is also three times that of China. On this basis, we believe China is underpenetrated in software/IT
services, and that the sector is ripe for growth as the economy transitions to a greater contribution from Services.
Weaker overall demand due to the structure of its economic model with a greater weighting towards Manufacturing
than Services.
Lower product pricing for software/IT services in China, which is often a function of Chinas relatively low wages for
software technicians.

Weaker demand due to low services contribution to GDP and lower labor cost
We believe this weaker demand in China relative to other economies is due to two main reasons:
Services make up a smaller proportion of GDP. Although the contribution of services to Chinas GDP has risen to 48% in
2014 from 40% in 2000, China still lags the US and India in this regard in 2014 with a proportion of 53% in India and 76%
in the US (Exhibit 13). The service sector places natural emphasis on IT systems to improve productivity and efficiency,
whereas in manufacturing industries competitiveness can be achieved by cutting costs in raw material, labor, natural
resources, energy, etc which have been the platform on which China has developed its economy over the past few
decades. Taking labor cost as an example, the fully loaded hourly rate in China was much lower than developed countries
and regions, and also lower than Taiwan (Exhibit 14). There is upward pressure emerging on wages, however, and China is
not as low cost for labor as many countries in Southeast Asia.
Many Chinese enterprises have not made it a focus to develop longer-term strategies. Over the past two decades, the
industrial sector in China has benefiting from multiple advantages such as favorable government policies, lower labor
cost, cheaper energy and raw material cost, and limited focus on environmental protection which have allowed it to
compete with more developed countries and regions. This provided multiple opportunities and led to many growing rapidly,
without the impetus to develop long-term strategies to compete with global players. This meant that little attention has yet
been paid to enhancing productivity and building out IT systems.
Exhibit 14: while low labor cost have suppressed the motivation to
improve efficiency and productivity via better IT

The technology itself has developed sufficiently to enable more flexible business models to provide products and services
to a variety of clients across many sectors; and
With changes in the economy and with China moving up the value curve, Chinese enterprises are now looking to compete
in global markets.

Pricing and payment for software/services. Cloud computing and storage solutions allow users and enterprises to store
and process their data at third-party centers. For those enterprises, data management costs have become an operating
expenditure rather than a capital expenditure, and they now pay monthly subscription fee. Cloud computing / storage
reduces the cost of installment and allows enterprises (especially smaller ones) to try out software and services at much
lower upfront cost. We believe this will lower the entry barrier for many enterprises to adopt new software and services
motivating demand. The monthly payment method also changes software/service vendors business models, with recurring
revenue rather than one-off license fees.
Business model for software/service providers. Cloud computing allows some software/service providers to transform
from being solely a product/service provider to a platform operator. IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service), PaaS (platform-as-aservice) and SaaS (software-as-a-service) all run like platforms, which may provide more value-add and flexible services by
analyzing the underlying data running in the platform (with end-user permission).

Manufacturing, utilities and transportation: China spends 33% on these sectors which are more resource intensive and
labor intensive, vs. 21% in India and 19% in the US. This is in line with Chinas larger GDP weighting to industry. We see the
higher the GDP contribution is from Service sector, the smaller software/IT service spending weighting is on Industry sector.
Communications, media and services: Spending on this vertical is also over-indexed in China compared to in the US (18%
vs. 13% respectively). We believe as an economy matures, spending on this sector will shrink.
Financials: Spending on this vertical at 21% is lower than the 27% in the US
Consumption & government: This vertical is also still under-indexed in China (49%) vs. 64% in the US.
The financials and consumption/government verticals are generally considered as service sectors and are underdeveloped in China
relative to the US in line with finding in the previous section.

Government, SOE and multinationals are still key customers, but demand from private companies to catch up
We divide end-users into three general categories enterprises, government, and individual business. For enterprises, we subdivide into private, SOE and foreign. We estimate government spending accounts for 16% of total Software and IT services spending,
and SOE 34%. Although individual business and private enterprises are the major entities in the market (68mn in all and 94% of
total), they make up on 42% of spending. We believe this leaves significant room for growth as demand from private companies
should catch up as the imperative to improve productivity and efficiency become clearer.

Identifying local leaders youll find them in niche and high-growth markets
Gartner forecasts c.10% CAGR in China software/IT service market over the next five years. We believe some players are better
positioned and should therefore be able to capture a high growth rate than the overall market. We think the market is already
crowded, with global leaders dominating in key subsectors. According to MIIT, there are 38,695 software/IT services vendors in
China, and Gartner estimates software/IT services spending of US$25bn in 2014. This implies only US$0.65mn average TAM for
each player. Of the larger firms, most are foreign. The top 30 software vendors in China account for c. 65% market share, with
Chinese players only accounting for 13%. The top 30 IT services vendors in China account for c. 63% market share, with Chinese
companies accounting for only 12%. We believe there are three reasons for overseas firms dominance in many parts of the market.
Early mover advantage: Global players entered the China market in the early 1990s, when domestic players were still at an
early stage of development stage and not as competitive as global firms. Their early penetration into China helped global
leader to gain some large customers with complex demands, such as SOEs and multinationals. The high stickiness for
software applications subsequently helped those early movers to strengthen their franchise in China.
Capital & talent/engineer advantage: There are high barriers to entry for high-end and complex systems/services for
multiple verticals. Global firms have strong consulting capability and comprehensive products in multiple vertical, which
are difficult for small companies to match.
Piracy: Protection of intellectual property rights has been challenging in China. The high cost to protect intellectual property
rights can be prohibitive for small-scale companies and put their operations in jeopardy if their IP is copied.

ERP for SMEs: While current ERP revenue mainly comes from SOEs, large multinationals, and large to midsize private companies,
we believe ERP for small and medium-sized enterprises is still at an early stage, with low penetration. The market is also very
fragmented and highly local due to the large user base all over China. We forecast the market to grow at 15% CAGR over the next 5
years on the back of greater penetration, facilitated by cloud computing, as well as by new value-add businesses such as credit
investigation for SME.
Healthcare: IT systems for the healthcare sector are underdeveloped in China and many hospitals and clinics in tier-3 and tier-4
cities do not have comprehensive HIS/CIS (hospital information system/clinic information system) nor an electronic medical record
(EMR) system for patients. There is also much room for improvement in the social medical insurance system, where IT systems can
help with PBM (pharmacy benefit management) and chronic disease treatment. We expect the market to grow at 15% CAGR in the
next 5 years.
Security software: Security software has strong local characteristic. The government intends to reduce reliance on non-Chinese
vendors in government institutions and critical SOEs in the interests of national security. We expect local security software players
to benefit from this. We expect the market to grow at 10% CAGR in the next 5 years.
Tax control: As China government rolls out tax reform replacing business tax with value-added tax for service sectors in more
sectors (property, finance and insurance industries), and as the requirement to install a VAT invoice system is expanded to all smallscale taxpayers, we forecast VAT invoice system users to increase fivefold over 2014-2020E. We expect tax control related business
to grow at 25% CAGR in the next 5 years.
Mapping & navigation: We forecast the mapping and navigation market to grow at 22% CAGR in the next 5 years on the back of
higher penetration of navigation in autos and increasing new applications in telematics such as traffic information, location-based
services, etc. The broader Internet of Things (IoT) will further increase application of location-based services, and therefore of
demand for mapping & navigation.
Intelligent speech: Intelligent speech technology is likely to be increasingly employed when inputting information into computers
by writing is impossible or inconvenient. We expect greater application of this technology in smartphones and autos, as well as in
education, and expect a 37% CAGR in the next 5 years.
Financials - securities: With accelerating reform in the financial space and increasing innovation in equity markets, we believe
Fintech will experience fast growth over the next 5 years. Although the recent market correction has added concerns around the
21
pace of financial, and CSRC has turned more cautious on financial innovation, such as margin trading, we believe the trend remains
intact in the mid-to-long term. We expect software/IT services for the securities sector to grow at 20% CAGR in the next 5 years.
Restaurants & hotels: Although IT systems are commonly used in high-end restaurants and hotels, mid-to-low end restaurants,
hotels and merchants are not well covered yet. We expect software/IT services for restaurants & hotels to grow at 15% CAGR in the
next 5 years, with improving coverage in mid-to-low end via SaaS product offering, and new demand from O2O business upgrading.
Concentration ratios: In these subsectors, tax control, mapping & navigation, intelligent speech, financial - securities, and
restaurants & hotels have higher market concentration. We initiate coverage on Aisino (CL-Buy), Hundsun, Shiji Info and Yonyou
(Sell), which are the leaders in their subsector. NavInfo and iFLYTek (Buy) are also leaders in their own subsectors.

Compared with other technology names (hardware or electronics), software names tend to be less cyclical. They have high
client retention rates due to significant switching costs, enabling them to generate stable and recurring revenue.
While Chinese companies in some sectors are closing the gap or even surpassing global peers, we see domestic software
names still lagging global peers in both scale and market cap.
Software development often requires long-term R&D, and this creates a substantial barrier to entry. As such, we believe it
is appropriate to look at longer-term growth. We see China software names are often given high P/E multiples in the Ashare market (2016E P/E averaged 48X for our coverage), as the market prices in sustainable high growth.
We project our company estimates to 2020. For each company, we conduct a qualitative and quantitative assessment to
underpin our assessment of longer-term earnings.
We apply an exit P/E multiple to 2020 earnings for each company based on where global peers are trading at now on
2016 estimates. We apply 21x for lower growth companies and 25x for higher growth ones (see below for detail).
Using the resulting valuation 2020E EPS times exit P/E we discount back to 2016 using each companys cost of equity.
In our view, this methodology: 1) capture each companys long-term growth potential; 2) differentiates between stocks on multiple
based on their growth projection; 3) evaluates China software in a global context with consideration for its current relative lack of
development.
Exhibit 32: Aisino (CL-Buy) is our top pick for its greatest upside; we like iFLYTek (Buy) for its high growth, but have a Sell on Yonyou due to its expensive
valuation and only modest growth

Each criterion is given equal weighting. iFlytek (speech recognition) and Aisino (Tax control) score highest on industry growth.
Navinfo and Hundsun score highest on profit opportunity given they operate in high-margin businesses, with potential for a
broadening in application. Most companies (bar Ultrapower and Yonyou) have strong/dominant market positioning to fully capture
industry growth. Shiji and Aisino are clear leaders in their niches, where we see little chance of any challengers, and therefore score
highly on competitiveness. On access to capital, Shiji and Aisino are relatively strong as they require less-intensive R&D spending to
maintain their leading positions.

Industry Risks
Chinas macro economy is slowing and any hard landing could pose downside risk to demand for software and IT services. We
believe software and IT services spending will in future be driven by the Services sector and this should make it more defensive to
any slowdown in the industrial sector. However, demand for productivity improvement may be impacted by deterioration in
profitability in both the industrial and services sectors.
There are new entrants into the software and IT services sector, such as startups and internet firms. Although internet companies
are now generally seeking collaborative arrangements with traditional software and IT services vendors, it is possible the balance of
bargaining power will move towards internet players in future. We expect those verticals with higher entry barriers to have a more
stable position in any collaboration.

Aisino (600271.SS): Tax control system leader to benefit from VAT reform; initiate CL-Buy
Source of opportunity
Investment Profile
We initiate on Aisino with CL-Buy as we expect its near-monopoly position in tax control systems will allow it to
capture the revenue opportunity of VAT/BT reform, which broadens the requirement to install electronic tax
software to many millions of small business across many service sectors. Although we expect this business to
make up 21% to 2015E revenues, we expect it to contribute 46% to overall gross profit. We forecast Aisinos other
main businesses, channel sales and network software, to grow steadily in line with the overall software/IT market
at 10-15% CAGR in 2016-2020E. We expect Aisino revenue/net income to grow at 15%/20% CAGR in these years

Aisino (600271.SS)
Asia Pacific Technology Peer Group Average
Catalyst
(1) The government is due to roll out VAT in property, finance and insurance industries, which it estimates will
add 10mn new VAT payers in 2015-2016E. On the back of this, We expect Aisino to gain 1.2mn/1.8mn/2.4mn
additional tax control clients in 2015E/16E/17E.
(2) We expect its nascent credit rating service to ramp up in 2016. Although the credit rating service will not
contribute significant revenue in the short term, we think a successful larger scale test of this business innovation
will help catalyze the stock. We expect segment revenue of Rmb302mn in 2016.
For full details, please see the standalone report Aisino: Tax control system leader to benefit from VAT reform;
initiate CL-Buy, September 25, 2015.
Valuation
Our 12-month target price is Rmb78.6, representing 55% potential upside. It is based on 21X 2020E EPS of
Rmb5.10, discounted back to 2016 at an 8% cost of equity, and implies 33x 2016E P/E. We think Aisino current
valuation looks inexpensive at 21X 2016E PE. We believe the market is undervaluing the long-term benefit from
tax reform and its monopoly market position to build up synergy from a large client base.

Investment Profile
We upgrade iFLYTek to Buy from Neutral, with a revised 12-month target price of Rmb38.6. In the China intelligent
speech market, we think 2013 was the inflection point, with 96% yoy growth (vs. 38% in 2012). We think this has
opened up a longer-term growth window, and we forecast 37% CAGR for 2014-2020E. Our Buy rating is based on:
1) We believe iFLYTek is in a favorable position to fully capture the growth trend; 2) iFLYTek, with dominant
domestic market share, has an established technology leadership and Chinese language specialty which
should protect against new entrants or global players; 3) We expect the company to benefit from an increasingly
wide spectrum of language applications in industry.

We update our EPS by -3%/9%/26% to Rmb0.45/0.68/1.01 for 2015E-17E on faster revenue growth in its key
businesses. Our revised 12-month target price is Rmb38.6, representing 37% potential upside. It is based on 25X
2020E EPS of Rmb2.09, discounted back to 2016 at a 7.9% cost of equity. We upgrade to Buy on its favorable
market trend and good positioning. Our previous 12-month target price was Rmb20.80, based on 2015E EV/GCI
vs. CROCI/WACC. We revise the methodology to be in line with the rest of our software/IT services coverage.
Key risks
Weaker demand from end users and lower-than-expected technology innovation would slow revenue growth;
higher-than-expected R&D input for speech recognition and smart HMI projects would curb margins.

In recent years, we have seen natural speech recognition take center stage in next-gen human-machine
interaction, with global technology giants Apple (Siri), Google (Google Now) and Microsoft (Cortana) all taking a
lead. As well as developing underlying algorithms, we have also seen more language-related applications in
different verticals. We forecast strong revenue growth at iFLYTek 52%/62%/49% yoy for 2015-17E mainly
driven by increasing intelligent speech application demand from telcos, government and the education sector.
For example, iFLYTek-C3 (up 269% yoy in 1H15), is an IT system for public security and public management. It
has been widely adopted by the Anhui government and we expect it to expand into other provinces. On the
expense side, we continue to expect a high ratio of expenses to revenue, mainly due to R&D and application
expansion. Overall, we expect revenue growth to drive net income growth at 50%/54%/49% for 2015E-17E.

2017E
We expect the intelligent speech market to enter a high-growth period with increasing demand for ever better human-machine
interaction. In 2013, the market inflected with 96% yoy growth, which we believe implies a strong signal for long-term growth. We
estimate the market will grow at 37% CAGR in 2014-2020E, based on robust demand from broad application in telematics, telcos,
government, and the education sector. The China intelligent speech market accounted for 11% of the global market in 2014 and the
growth in China to outpace the global market in the next 5 years and expand its share to 17%.
iFLYTek, as a leader in domestic intelligent speech market, with 54% market share (2014), has strong technology leadership and
Chinese language specialty, which we think will protect it against any new entrants and global players. It has registered strong sales
momentum in its government-related and education business in 1H15, with 269%/81% yoy growth, respectively. We expect the two
segments to grow at 38% CAGR in 2016E-20E on the back of increasing application of intelligent speech in those areas. For voice
supporting software, although we see weak 1H15 revenue growth of -11% due to late delivery on telematics and other verticals
we expect the segment to pick up in 2H15 and 2016 as current contracts are delivered on specific auto models entering mass
production.
The stock is trading at 41X 2016E P/E, below its historical average forward P/E of 56.4X. We think this valuation is attractive given its
strong long-term growth and upgrade it to Buy from Neutral.

Yonyou (600588.SS): A challenge to gain share in ERP market; new business unclear; Sell
Source of opportunity
Investment Profile
We initiate coverage on Youyou with a Sell rating and a 12-month target price of Rmb14.10. Yonyou is the largest
corporate management, ERP, human resource, and CRM software/system vendor in China, with 39% market
share in ERP (2014). Its clients come from a broad spectrum of sectors. Our Sell rating is based on: (1) modest
China ERP market growth (13% CAGR for 2014-2019E); (2) limited potential to further gain market share; (3) its
innovative businesses are still at early stage and have poor earnings visibility; (4) demanding valuation.

Catalyst
In the near term, we expect the companys revenue to grow at only 11% with net income to fall 6% in 2015E, on
the back of higher expenses related to developing new business. In the medium term, we expect Yonyous
market share to stagnate (having remained 40% for the past a few years), in light of the large number of
competitors that offer similar products (for example, local peers Inspur and Kingdee, and global peers SAP and
Oracle).
Associate Chanjet (1588.HK, Not Covered, Yonyou holds a 69% stake) offers cloud-based ERP solutions for SMEs
and provides third-party payment. It contributed 8%/13% to Yonyous 2014 revenue/net income (exclude minority
interest). We believe it remains the key swing factor for Yonyou as we expect increasing competition in ERP for
SMEs due to entry by existing software/IT services companies as well as by startups which we think will raise
pricing pressure and make monetization a challenge.
Lastly, without clear visibility in its new businesses (credit ratings, P2P loan, and big data platform), we forecast
the companys revenue/net income to grow at only 15%/12% CAGR over 2014-2017E, the lowest among our
software coverage. With the stock trading at 2017E P/E of 45X, the second highest after NavInfo, we believe
valuation is demanding.

Investment Profile
We remove Ultrapower from our Buy list as we have a cautious outlook on its business and earnings growth
potential in near-to-medium term. Overall, we see 1) its major ITSM business is facing slowing growth and
declining margins from an increasing proportion of hardware in the mix; 2) its mobile gaming ramp-up is slower
than our expectations, but will remain the main profit driver for the company in the next two years; 3) it
diversifying into a number of new businesses, such as e-commerce (raw food procurement), education (online
professional training), and smart wire (network infrastructure at mining sites). We see limited synergies among
its existing and new business lines, and remain cautious on their success until there is better visibility.

Since we added Ultrapower to the Buy (we also added it to the CL at that time) list on Aug 25, 2013, it is up 55%
vs for the Shenzhen A-share index up 75%. Since we removed it from the CL list (retaining Buy) on July 11, 2014,
the stock is up 12%, vs. Shenzhen A index up by 58%. We attribute the underperformance to a lack of earnings
catalysts.
Current view
1) The ITSM (IT system management) business continues to be the major revenue and profit contributor
(73%/57% of total revenue/gross profit in 2015E). However, within this, we expect growth of the high-gross
margin IT solution (78% gross margin in 2015E) to slow to 10% in 2015E. On the other hand, we expect growth of
the low-gross margin IT system integration (2% gross margin in 2015E) to grow faster at 40% in 2015E.
2) In its internet operations (mainly Fetion with China Mobile), we expect only 10% CAGR for 2016E-2020E due to
competing the market dominance of competitor WeChat;
3) We expect mobile gaming revenue to be the main profit driver, reaching 20% gross profit contribution in 2017E
vs. 9% in 2015E;
4) On expenses, we see limited operating leverage in the near future due to expenses increases driven by
multiple new business development.
Valuation: we update our EPS 0%/-31%/-29% to Rmb0.43/0.37/0.45 for 2015E-17E on slower revenue growth (oneoff investment gain from the Zhongqing Longtu disposal contributes Rmb0.13 to EPS in 2015E). Our 12-month
target price is Rmb10.0, representing 9% potential downside. It is based on 21X 2020E EPS of Rmb0.68,
discounted back to 2016 at a 9% cost of equity. Our previous 12-month target price was Rmb15.18, based on
2015E EV/GCI vs. CROCI/WACC. We revise the methodology to be in line with the rest of our software/IT services
coverage.
Key risks: stronger/weaker-than-expected revenue growth from overseas market and mobile gaming;
higher/lower-than-expected revenue from telco operators; potential M&A; higher/lower-than-expected gross
margin at ITSM business.

Industry context
We estimate the hotels & restaurants IT market size amounted US$323mn in 2014, and expect it to grow at 15%
CAGR through 2020, primarily driven by a rising number of hotels (mainly economy chain brands) and increasing
IT penetration of restaurants as the increased popularity of online to offline (O2O) services incentivize restaurants
to upgrade their IT. Shiji is the dominant player with 49% market share, while competitors have 5% or less market
share.

Investment view
Investment Profile
We initiate coverage of Hundsun at Neutral, with a 12-month target price of Rmb47.9. Hundsun is currently the
market leading vendor of IT infrastructure in Chinas financial sector in terms of value, and we estimate it has
51% share at securities companies in 2014. In our view, Hundsun: (1) has solid market positioning at its
traditional 1.0 business (install-based financial software), with a diversified client portfolio, across securities
brokerage houses, banks, funds/asset management, insurance companies, and exchanges; (2) has restructured
its shareholding in 2014, aiming for better decision-making and execution; (3) has been accelerating its
innovative business development, through the company-employee JV scheme and equity investment.

Rmb2.76, discounted back to 2016 at a 9.6% cost of equity. Our target price implies 69X 2016E P/E. We initiate as
Neutral due to uncertainty around HOMS and other innovative business development.

Industry context
Gartner estimates that software/IT services spending in securities/banking sectors in China was US$4342/356mn
respectively in 2014, and will grow at 13%/20% CAGR through 2020. While bank sector spending is much larger, it
remains inaccessible to third-party IT vendors, as large-scale banks mostly have self-developed in-house IT. At
securities companies, the market is highly concentrated, with Hundsun taking 51% market share in 2014, followed
by Kingdom with 34%.

Investment Profile
We maintain our Neutral rating on NavInfo and update our 12-month target price to Rmb21.7. Overall, we believe
the company is well positioned in the fast growing telematics industry (driving-related services, such as mapping
& navigation, fleet management, and location-based services). We estimate that the most mature of these,
mapping & navigation, was worth US$565mn in 2014 and we expect it to post 22% CAGR through 2020, with
NavInfo taking 41% market share in 2014. With its excellent positioning, we believe the company is developing an
ecosystem that aims to provide telematics solutions (hardware + software) to its clients, with revenue in
telematics up 69% yoy in 1H15. It will enable the company to capture more services revenue opportunities as
telematics evolves. However, we see its valuation as full, having priced in high growth in the near-to-medium
term.

Key data
Implications
We expect its revenue to grow at 28% CAGR for 2016E-2020E, benefit from increasing penetration of IT content in
cars, and the car servicing market. In the near-to-medium term, we expect its R&D spending to remain high (1314% of total revenue), thanks to continuing map upgrades and development of new functions and applications.
We also expect its gross margin to decline, from 81% in 2014 (76% in 1H15) to 72% in 2017E, as the company
increases the mix of hardware in providing solutions. Overall, we expect the companys operating margin to
rebound from 0%/4% in 2013/14 (6% in 1H15) to 8% in 2017E, driving 41% net income CAGR in 2015-17E,
benefiting from revenue growth and operating leverage from other expenses (ie, non-R&D).
Valuation
We lower our EPS -19%/-23%/-23% for 2015E-17E to Rmb0.24/0.34/0.49 on lower margins. Our 12-month target
price is Rmb21.7 (up from Rmb18.7), representing 15% potential downside. It is based on 25X 2020E EPS of
Rmb1.25, discounted back to 2016 at a 9.6% cost of equity. Our previous 12-month target price was Rmb18.70,
based on 2015E EV/GCI vs. CROCI/WACC. We revise the methodology to be in line with the rest of our software/IT
services coverage.
Key risks
Higher/lower-than-expected telematics growth in China; higher/lower-than-expected R&D spending;
higher/lower-than-expected gross margin due to change in hardware sale mix.

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
I, Carol Jin, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect my personal views about the subject company or companies and its or their securities. I also certify that no part
of my compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report.
Investment Profile
The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth,
returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage
universe.
The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI,
ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month
Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make
comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.
GS SUSTAIN
GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list includes leaders our analysis shows to be well
positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on
quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the
environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).

stock's return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review
Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and 10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular
coverage group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee. Regional Conviction Buy and Sell lists represent investment recommendations focused on either the size of the
potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return.
Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all
covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one
of the following coverage views which represents the analyst's investment outlook on the coverage group relative to the group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The
investment outlook over the following 12 months is favorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the following 12
63
months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage
group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation.

General disclosures
This research is for our clients only. Other than disclosures relating to Goldman Sachs, this research is based on current public information that we consider reliable, but we do not represent it is
accurate or complete, and it should not be relied on as such. We seek to update our research as appropriate, but various regulations may prevent us from doing so. Other than certain industry reports
published on a periodic basis, the large majority of reports are published at irregular intervals as appropriate in the analyst's judgment.
Goldman Sachs conducts a global full-service, integrated investment banking, investment management, and brokerage business. We have investment banking and other business relationships with a
substantial percentage of the companies covered by our Global Investment Research Division. Goldman, Sachs & Co., the United States broker dealer, is a member of SIPC (http://www.sipc.org).
Our salespeople, traders, and other professionals may provide oral or written market commentary or trading strategies to our clients and principal trading desks that reflect opinions that are contrary
to the opinions expressed in this research. Our asset management area, principal trading desks and investing businesses may make investment decisions that are inconsistent with the
recommendations or views expressed in this research.
The analysts named in this report may have from time to time discussed with our clients, including Goldman Sachs salespersons and traders, or may discuss in this report, trading strategies that
reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term impact on the market price of the equity securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analyst's published
price target expectations for such stocks. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analyst's fundamental equity rating for such stocks, which rating reflects a stock's return
potential relative to its coverage group as described herein.
We and our affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, excluding equity and credit analysts, will from time to time have long or short positions in, act as principal in, and buy or sell, the securities or
derivatives, if any, referred to in this research.

This research is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be illegal. It does not constitute a personal
recommendation or take into account the particular investment objectives, financial situations, or needs of individual clients. Clients should consider whether any advice or recommendation in this
research is suitable for their particular circumstances and, if appropriate, seek professional advice, including tax advice. The price and value of investments referred to in this research and the income
from them may fluctuate. Past performance is not a guide to future performance, future returns are not guaranteed, and a loss of original capital may occur. Fluctuations in exchange rates could have
adverse effects on the value or price of, or income derived from, certain investments.
Certain transactions, including those involving futures, options, and other derivatives, give rise to substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors. Investors should review current options
disclosure documents which are available from Goldman Sachs sales representatives or at http://www.theocc.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. Transaction costs may be significant in option
strategies calling for multiple purchase and sales of options such as spreads. Supporting documentation will be supplied upon request.
