Worse-than-expected 3Q14 results. TCL Multimedia’s (TCL) recurring
earnings of HKD59m for 3Q14 missed our forecast by 52% mainly on:
i) 21% revenue miss, ii) lower-than-expected other income (mostly
government grants) and iii) higher-than-expected tax rates. Its GPM of
17.2% was in line with our 17.0% forecast while opex to sales was
0.2ppt higher than expected. While inventory turnover improved YoY in
3Q14 to 60 days from 72 days, its accounts payable turnover fell to 183
days from 206 days. TCL turned into a net debt with 15% net gearing vs
net cash in 2Q14. Its recurring EPS in 3Q14 was HKD0.044.
Headwinds in TV market share & smart TV platform. In contrast to
Skyworth’s (751 HK, BUY, TP: HK4.70) 10% YoY growth in China TV
shipments in Jul-Sep 2014, TCL’s 3Q14 China TV shipments have fallen
11% YoY. Note that both companies suffered large ASP declines YoY in
3Q14. TCL’s loss of market share is alarming because, even given the
low base of 3Q13 (due to the expiry of the energy saving subsidy), it has
not managed to grow. Also, despite efforts to grow its smart TV platform,
its active user base dipped 1% MoM to 1.3m in Sep 2014. While it is too
early to say if its TV platform has failed to uphold user interest,
management should carefully monitor its smart TV platform strategy.
TP lowered to HKD1.90 (from HKD2.40), maintain SELL. We cut our
FY14F-16F recurring net profit by 27%/22%/26%, mainly on lower
revenue forecasts. We lower our TP to HKD1.90, based on the same 7x
FY15F P/E, which is at a discount to 8x target FY15F (Mar) P/E for
Skyworth. We continue to prefer Skyworth due to its solid TV hardware
business with better margins (see Figure 6). We are negative on TCL as
its bread-and-butter TV hardware business is losing market share to its
peers while its smart TV platform faces uncertain growth prospects.

though it was an improvement over 2Q14. We are also concerned about 0
its 3Q shipments, which fell 11% despite last year’s low base, while its 0
smart TV platform saw a decrease in active users in Sep 2014 despite
the company’s transition efforts. Overall, we slash our FY14F-16F
numbers by 22-27% and cut our TP to HKD1.90 (from HKD2.40),
implying a 27.7% downside based on 7x FY15F P/E. Maintain SELL.
