China Resources Beverage Pre-IPO - Updated Thoughts on Valuation

HK/China Healthcare Analyst (ex-Fosun Pharma)

Xinyao (Criss) Wang

<ul>
<li>Nongfu Spring is able to take a price war to grab market share,but the strategy of CR Beverage forced to cut prices may not work,making its profit margin further decline.</li>
<li>CR Beverage’s business model is “single business + scale expansion”, worse than “multi-category structure + new product incubation”.Future performance growth may inevitably slow down if without the second growth curve.</li>
<li>Whether in terms of product/revenue structure, profitability, or sustainability of growth momentum, CR Beverage isn’t as good as Nongfu Spring. Valuation of CR Beverage should be lower than Nongfu Spring.</li>
