MicroPort NeuroTech / Equity Capital Markets

<ul>
<li>The advantages of NeuroTech are mainly reflected in the comprehensive product portfolio and stable product performance, with higher gross margin, stronger cost control ability and first-mover advantage than its peers.</li>
<li>The major concerns here are the domestic shrinking market size due to the centralized procurement, the fierce market competition and the pain points on its sales model.</li>
<li>In terms of valuation, our view is that NeuroTech’s valuation could be higher than that of the peers such as Zylox-Tonbridge, HeartCare Medical, Peijia Medical and Sino Medical.</li>

Shanghai MicroPort Endovascula / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Although Endovastec has leading position in aortic products, the growth space of this field in China is relatively limited and is not enough to support the long-term development of Endovastec.</li>
<li>The lack of revolutionary blockbuster product/candidate with global pricing power as well as the current weak international business layout are also the concerns.</li>
<li>Our view is that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shanghai-microport-endovas-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:30310:1" rel="noopener">Shanghai Microport Endovascular MedTech (688016 CH)</a> (Endovastec) is a good company, but it is not as attractive as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lifetech-scientific-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13181:1" rel="noopener">Lifetech Scientific (1302 HK)</a> at the current stage.</li>

The lack of revolutionary blockbuster product/candidate with global pricing power as well as the current weak international business layout are also the concerns.
Our view is that Shanghai Microport Endovascular MedTech (688016 CH) (Endovastec) is a good company, but it is not as attractive as Lifetech Scientific (1302 HK) at the current stage.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

<ul>
<li>In 2021/1H, the neuro-interventional industry attracted great enthusiasm from investors, but starting from 2021/2H, things began to change and investors quickly returned to rationality.</li>
<li>The major concerns are the product homogenization, fierce market competition and the negative impact of centralized procurement policy. We summarized our policy interpretation to help investors make a prediction.</li>
<li>In terms of future trends, the grassroots market and the international markets are the breakthrough points for domestic neuro-interventional enterprises, which would be the main criteria for decision-making.</li>
