Vtion is principally engaged in the development and sale of wireless data cards, including the provision of after-sales services. Vtion is keeping strong relationship with China’s main and only three mobile network operators and is committed to maintain the leading position among providers of wireless data cards solutions in China. The company offers a broad range of wireless data cards, with PCMCIA, USB, Mini-USB, Express Card 34 and PCI Express Mini interfaces, which makes Vtion one of the few suppliers having the capability to produce wireless data cards for all 3G industry standards. The broad product portfolio provides it with the flexibility to meet the current and future customers’ needs regardless of what standard emerges in Chinese telecommunications industry. In January 2006, Vtion started its data solutions service business targeting in particular business travellers in China by founding the online business club. Vtion Wireless Technology AG The year of 2009 witnessed the beginning of 3G commercialization in China, which placed an evident effect on the development of Vtion. China is the only country, where three different 3G network standards exist. Vtion keeps maintaining as a top-tier wireless data card supplier for all three of China’s 3G network operators: China Unicom, China Telecom and China Mobile. Vtion showed strong growth in the business performance last year. Concerning the total units sold, the number increased by 172% to 1,652,022 pieces. Revenues at the same time grew from €39.2m in FY08 by 73% to €67.6m in FY09, mainly due to increase of the wireless data card units sold. Meanwhile the dramatic increase of raw material brought down the gross profit margin from 41% in FY08 to 33% in FY09 and Vtion cleared out the 2.5G/2.75G wireless data card by providing discount prices in FY09, which also counted a major part of decreasing EBIT-margin from 32% to 28% in FY09. In the HY1 10, Vtion increased its sales to €55.8m, a 164% growth compared to HY1 09. EBIT-margin increased from 28% in HY1 09 to 30% in HY1 10, which mainly results from the cost saving of 3G wireless data cards. The shrink of net profit margin from 25.3% in HY1 09 to 16.5% in HY1 10 was attributed to a foreign exchange loss of €5.4m, due to the fact that the RMB gained in value compared to the Euro within the HY1 10. 3G network standard lead to rapid growth - high margin levels maintained throughout 2009 and HY1 10 The 3G market in China grew to over 31 million users by the end of August 2010; 31 million users only represented a small portion of over 800 million mobile users in China. And growth will continue due to the strong marketing campaigns by the three network operators. Vtion predicts that the 3G-construction in 2009 was only the start of the commercialization in China, which laid the foundation for the expected full year development in 2010. Because all the 3G-network standards function exclusively and respectively by the only three telecommunication companies, Vtion’s future success depends on the relationships with each above. In near future the hardware sales will continue to be a major drive of Vtion’s business performance. Vtion intents to remain its core strength in the hardware segment and also expand the business opportunities concerning about the non-hardware aspects, such as enlarge the number of members of the Vtion business club. Targeting on particular business travellers in China is a strategy for Vtion since 2006. Business Club of Vtion was formed to provide more services, such as online transition, to the members, who would pay the annual subscription-fee; the number of members by the end of HY1 10 was 279,300. We estimate that revenues of Vtion will continue to grow fast. The leap from €67.6m in FY09 to €120.0m will happen in FY10 and revenue will be expected to be above the level of €160.0m in FY11. EBIT-margin on the other hand will remain stable and is projected at 27.6% in FY10 and 28.2% in FY11, with an absolute EBIT of €33.1m and €45.0m, respecticely. Also net profit will show dramatic growth, projected €25.0m in FY10, and €40.0m in FY11. 3G market growth in China ust begins - further improve in revenue and EBIT expected Vtion is operating with a high equity ratio of 82.1%, which means the business performance of Vtion is financed securely by a strong balance sheet. By the end of HY1 10, Vtion did not have any bank liability. Contributing to the balance sheet total of €150.4m by HY1 10, cash and cash equivalents amounted to €92.0m (61.2% of balance sheet), a dramatic improve compared to €61.5m by the end of FY09. Vtion is also holding a firm cash flow. Cash conversion rate (operating cash flow/EBIT) reached to be at 1.1 by HY1 10, rebounding from negative cash conversion rate by the end of FY09. Return on capital employed (ROCE) showed an impressive number of 72.5% in FY09 and is expected to be even higher at 115.7% in FY10. Giving the current share price, P/E-ratio is at 6.1 for the expected numbers in FY10 and only 3.8 for FY11-estimates. By the statement above, we believe that Vtion share price is undervalued massively. Due to our calculations the fair value per share is €20.22, which is significantly higher than the current share price. The strong growth of the Chinese 3G-market on one hand and the low valuation on the other hand present a great chance for investors. Strong balance sheet and cashflow - P/E ratio of only 6.1 in 2010 - share price has massive upside potential Page 15 |
