ECONOMIC WRAP
The custom office of Vietnam has released its trade data for the first half of 2019. As of the end of June 2019, the total export value of Vietnam had
reached $122.53 bn, an increase of 7.2% compared to the first half of 2018. Total import value nationwide reached $120.94 bn, up 8.9% compared
to the same period in 2018. The trade balance posted a comparatively softer surplus of $1.59 bn against the previous $ 3.26 bn USD achieved in
the same period last year. It’s important to note that Vietnam was still in trade deficit territory even in May.

By market, exports to the US rose by 27.3% YoY to $27.5 bn, an increase of $5.91 bn YoY. Meanwhile, imports from the US rose by 14.3% YoY,
or by $860 mn USD. The trade balance with the US recorded a surplus of $20.59 bn and surged by + 32.4% YoY compared to the same period
last year.

In the meantime, exports to China were flat YoY at $16.68 bn, while imports from China picked up by 18.2% YoY, to $ 35.69 bn. In this particular
trade case, Vietnam’s trade deficit with China swelled, recording $19 bn, +40.1% YoY.

Among top export products, we saw decent growth in the biggest groups of products, such as mobile phones and accessories (+3.9% YoY),
computers and electronic products (+14.1% YoY), textile and garment (+10.3% YoY), footwear (+13.4%), etc.

However, we nevertheless note a decline in imports of some products such as oil and gas (-42% YoY), mobile phones and accessories (-2.8%
YoY), and steel and iron (- 2.2% YoY).

In daily news, over the weekend the government held a special meeting to assess trade relations with key trade partners (the US, China, EU, Korea,
Japan, ASEAN, etc.). The focus was not simply about balancing these relations, but was also on how to aggressively and proactively address trade
violations in transshipment cases, issues involving certificate of origin issuance, or other miscellaneous trade fraud. Detailed measures may be
announced later on, as the meeting cements in yet another proactive gesture by Vietnam to accommodate the needs of its trade partners – and to
demonstrate the flexibility and tact of Vietnamese politicians in spearheading solutions to ease trade tensions in the midst of the US-China trade
war.

EQUITY WRAP

Gemadept Corporation (GMD: HOSE): Company visit note

Outstanding shares: 297 mil; Market Cap: $ 344 mil USD; Average trading value 3M: $0.35 mil USD, Market price: VND 26,850; and Foreign
ownership: 49%

Industrials Analyst: Giang Hoang Nguyen, CFA, giangnh@ssi.com.vn

Recently, we paid a visit to the company and discussed future prospects with management. Below is some of our key takeaways from the meeting:

What we learnt

Hai Phong International Container Terminal (HICT), consisting of the first 2 berths of Lach Huyen deep seaport, performed at more than double its
volume this year. In the last 6 months of 2018, HICT handled 68K TEU worth of containers, handling 4 vessels/week. In the first 6 months of 2019,
HICT handled 200K TEU of containers, handling a full 8 vessels/week. Notably, two of those vessels (from Wanhai & Maersk) are mother vessels,
and go straight to America, making these the first intercontinental shipments departing from Northern Vietnam.

Due to HICT coming into the picture, Gemadept envisages slower than expected volume growth for their current ports. For example, Nam Dinh Vu
initially was expected to reach full capacity in 2019 (600K TEU), but now can only reach 50-60% of capacity (300-400K TEU) in 2019. The reason
is that a portion of volume has been diverted to HICT and transported straight to US/Canada ports. This is despite the fact that the handling fee here
is $46 USD/TEU compared to $33 USD/TEU in other ports.

At the moment, Nam Dinh Vu port docks 7 vessels/week (compared to 5 last year), whereas Nam Hai Dinh Vu docks 8 vessels/week (equal to last
year) and Nam Hai port docks 3 vessels/week (compared to 5 from last year).

From the beginning of 2019, Circular 54/BGTVT of the Ministry of Transportation (MoT) has taken effect, in which the floor price of the port handling
service (ship-to-shore) for downstream ports is $33 USD/TEU (for 20-feet container ships), +10% YoY compared to last year’s floor price.
However, according to GMD they have difficulty in negotiating with carriers to increase the price to the new floor price, as the financials of global
carriers have not improved much this year. GMD needs to offer a discount for other services (which are not regulated by the Circular) in order to
remain competitive.

Gemalink is expected to start construction soon. This is Gemadept’s first deep sea port project (similar to HICT) in Cai Mep area, Southern Vietnam.
This port has 14m water draft, and can serve up to 18K TEU vessels. The first phase of Gemalink has 1.5 million TEU, and the second phase adds
another 1 million TEU. For the first phase, Gemalink might need to incur $210 million USD of debt, with about $90 million USD of that composed
of foreign-denominated debt. Thanks to CMA CGM being the strategic shareholder of Gemalink (with a 25% stake), GMD expects CMA CGM to
immediately fill up about 50% of the capacity of Gemalink at the day of completion by shifting most of their cargo from other surrounding ports
(CMIT, TCIT, SSIT – locating close by) back to Gemalink. The company expects completion of construction in 2021. Capacity utilization is expected
to reach 60% in 2021, and 100% in 2022 as according to management.

Up to May, GMD had completed 39% of its 2019 profit before tax target of VND 695 bn, +15% YoY in core earnings.

What we think

HICT’s impact on the Haiphong port system, as we have mentioned several times previously, is going to be a long-term and structural one. At first,
short-term impact might not be very impactful, as only a few liners with a large amount of intercontinental cargo will find switching to direct
intercontinental routes financially beneficial. In the long-term though, the logistic chain will reorganize itself, leading to increasing demand for a
deep seaport in Haiphong. This will conversely shrink demand for river-based ports. Thus, we expect every port operator, including GMD, will want
to construct and own some berths in the Lach Huyen deep seaport system. Bidding is underway, but there is no conclusive sign of the confirmed
identity of the next investors. We however have identified some current bidders, such as Saigon New Port, Vinalines, Vingroup, GMD, and Viconship.

Lower than expected demand at Nam Dinh Vu port is also well-expected by us, as we see it was born at a time when demand growth is not very
high (8-10% YoY) while supply surges with the start of HICT (1.5 million TEU capacity). We expect Nam Dinh Vu to continue to see low demand
and pricing pressure from their customers.

Gemalink is a good inclusion to GMD’s port portfolio, as demand for deep seaport and larger vessel handling capability is going to be increasingly
relevant for the long-term. However, investors might need to watch closely the potentially large increase of debt mentioned, as it presents risk of
lower earnings risk (from both interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations).

At the moment, GMD is trading at 2019F and 2020F forward PER metrics of 14.7x and 13.2x respectively, which is slightly lower than GMD’s
historical PE range of 14-15x. 2019F and 2020F P/B ratio are estimated at 1.35x and 1.32x respectively. We are waiting for the mid-year report to
be released, of which will spur an update from us, and might spark a revision of our forecast accordingly.
