October 20, 2008 3Q08 results release We expect overall margin to be relatively stable along with
stronger overall sales growth.
Our outlook is in line with our Transportation analyst Tom Kim’s cautious view on
container throughput, and we believe the downturn in the shipping industry will create
extra pressure on demand for container cranes.
Exhibit 1: We believe demand will be negatively affected by the weak outlook for global
trade

We estimate total demand for port cranes —namely quayside and gantry — cranes will be
1,784 units and 4,745 units, respectively, for the five years 2006 to 2010E. This would
represent a 69% increase over the preceding five years.

We believe margins may erode gradually as demand slows, although this erosion may not
be as great as that seen in the most recent trough in 2002
We believe the current down cycle in demand for container cranes will further narrow the
gross margin of manufacturers — including ZPMC, the largest container crane maker
globally — which is already under strong margin pressure due to RMB appreciation and
rising raw material costs. Although ZPMC’s gross margin for its crane business fell as low
as 9.2% during the last trough in 2002 from 13.1% in 1998, we do not think gross margins
will fall as low in the current down cycle. This is because we expect pricing discipline at
the company, underpinned by its 70%+ global market share which provides pricing power,
combined with its strong order backlog for its new “double 40ft” product (see Exhibit 4)
should help it to maintain margins. As such, we forecast the gross margin for ZPMC’s
crane business to decline to only 13.1% in 2010E from 14.6% in 2007.
Exhibit 3: We estimate the gross margin of ZPMC’s crane segment to decline to 13.1% in
2010E

Exhibit 4: We believe ZPMC’s strong order backlog for its new product will help protect
its margins
List of orders made in the first ten months in 2007 for ZPMC’s newest product, the “double 40ft”,
as of October 2007
In our view, the downcycle in demand for container cranes will extend into 2009E. Despite
our expectation of greater demand for heavy marine equipments, we expect ZPMC’s
earnings growth to slow down faster than its Asian and North American peers. In 2009E,
we estimate EPS growth of 1% for ZPMC, considerably less than the 16% EPS growth for
its Asian peers, and 12% for North American peers, but more than the 21% decline in
growth for European peers.
Asset injection of SPMP does not deserve valuation premium, in our view
If the announced asset injection of Shanghai Port Machinery Plant (SPMP) by CCCC, (the
parent company for both ZPMC and SPMP) into ZPMC is completed by the end of 2008, as
guided by management, we estimate the company’s 2008E–2010E earnings CAGR would
accelerate to only 7% from our current estimate of 5% (which excludes this potential
injection). Note that our base-case estimates do not reflect this pending asset injection.
SPMP is also focused on the port crane market, but makes all its sales domestically. As a
result, we forecast SPMP will achieve higher top-line growth than ZPMC — with our 15%
sales growth assumption based largely on the government’s strong ongoing investment in
port construction, with a 13% increase in the first seven months of 2008E over 2007.
Nevertheless, as domestic sales carry lower margins, we factor in a lower overall gross
margin vs. ZPMC, which makes 70% of its sales abroad.
In our view, any injection would likely improve ZPMC’s growth prospects, however,
despite the limited potential jump in earnings CAGR, by providing a more balanced and
diversified client base, and a broader product portfolio.
Unwarranted valuation premium of the A-share to: 1) the CSI 300 index; and 2)
global peers in terms of both P/E and P/B
Using 2009E P/E multiples, the A-share is trading at 15X EPS, a premium of 50%, 66%, and
36% to its U.S., European and Asian peer medians respectively. This is despite ZPMC’s 1%
EPS growth in 2009E being at the low-end of the range for international peers (12% median
growth for U.S. peers and 16% for Asian peers, and negative 21% for European peers). Its
premium to the CSI 300 index is 36%.
In terms of 2009E P/B, the A-share is trading at a 0%-22% premium to the Asian, U.S. and
European peer medians despite its 3-6 percentage point lower ROE.
The B-share is trading at a discount to both the MSCI index and peers
Using 2009E P/E multiples, the B-share is trading at 10X EPS, a 9% discount to the MSCI
index. Compared with international peer medians, the B-share is trading at discounts
ranging from 0% to 10% to U.S. and Asian peers, but an 11% premium to European peers.
We cross check our DCF using P/B and find the B-share’s current 1.5X 2009E P/B puts the
company at a 17%-32% discount to the medians of international peers, which we think is
justified given its lower ROE. We also note the B-share P/B has already approached its
historical trough level in 2002, so believe it would be unlikely to fall further (see Exhibit 7).
Exhibit 5: We believe ZPMC’s A-share premium to global peers is not justified, given its slower earnings growth

We believe the heavy marine equipment segment (7% of the total revenue in 2008E)
will be still be unable to fully cover the potential slowdown in the container crane segment,
even though we forecast the segment may reach 85% sales growth over 2008E to 2010E.

Asset injection of SPMP should have limited impact on ZPMC’s earnings growth
We forecast the combined sales of ZPMC and SPMP in 2009E would reach Rmb31.7 bn,
with only a 13% contribution from SPMP. Although over the long term, we believe the
asset injection should strengthen ZPMC’s position in the global port crane market with a
more diversified and balanced client base by adding more domestic clients, and will allow
it to further expand its product portfolio.
Exhibit 15: We estimate SPMP would represent 13% of revenue and 3.6% of EPS of the
combined entity

Investment profile
The Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and market. The four
key attributes depicted are: growth, returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites of several
methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage universe.
The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate
of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI, ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend
yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month volatility adjusted for dividends.
