Overall luxuries
 Montblanc expanding in its largest single market, China. Montblanc
Group, under the auspicies of Richemont (NOT RATED), will continue to
expand in Asia as economic growth boosts consumption of luxury goods.
Montblanc, which entered China in the early 1990s and has almost 100

Founded in 1906, Montblanc sells its gold and diamond-encrusted pens,
watches, cuff links, jewellery, perfume and leather accessories in about 70
countries through its own 360 boutiques and other retailers. China has
overtaken the US as Montblanc’s biggest individual market and sales
growth is also seen in other Asian countries.
 Luxury brands encouraging Chinese consumers to spend on home
turf. Some luxury brands are planning to raise retail prices in Europe.
According to PPR (PP FP/NOT RATED), Gucci plans to raise some prices

countries. Louis Vuitton will lift prices significantly in Europe. Salvatore
Ferragamo may rebalance prices worldwide in 2011 to reduce the

 EWJ – Fair value loss in CBs and warrant shares will likely exceed
expectations. Share price of EWJ (BUY) has gone up almost 100% since
the issuance of convertible bonds and warrant shares to DE Shaw and
LVMH Group. The strong share price performance increased the fair value
loss associated with the dilutive securities. We expect fair value loss to be
higher than our expectations. We have cut our 2010 earnings forecasts
from HK$220m to HK$117m to reflect this non-cash item. Stripping out this
non-cash item, we expect net profit in 2010 to surge 63% yoy to HK$320m.
 EWJ – Raising target price to reflect further re-rating potential. We
raise our target PE for EWJ from 18x to 20, to reflect its further re-rating
potential as it will benefit the most from the continued strong visitor arrivals
from mainland China. About 90% of EWJ’s earnings are derived from Hong
Kong and Macau. We raise our target price to HK$1.50.

Jewellery
 Richemont’s profit up 88% in 1HFY11 with strong growth in Asia.
Richemont reported strong 1HFY11 results with net profit soaring 88% yoy
to €646m, higher than market expectations of €517m. Richemont’s sales
rose 50% yoy in the Asia-Pacific region, the company’s second-biggest
market. According to Hurun Wealth Report, Cartier, under Richemont’s
brand portfolio, is the most preferred luxury jewellery brand.
 Mainland China and Hong Kong jewellery markets continue to
blossom. Mainland China’s retail sales of gold, silver and jewellery soared
82.5% yoy in Nov 10 to Rmb11.6b. Hong Kong’s retail sales of jewellery,
watches and clocks, and valuable gifts surged 34.9% yoy to HK$5.1b in
Nov 10. There are signs that the growth momentum in mainland China’s
jewellery market is accelerating. Having said that, we believe the strong
growth in mainland China is driven more by an increase in the number of
jewellery shops than by same-store sales (SSS) growth amid a proliferation
of more new department stores and shopping malls. On the other hand, we
believe Hong Kong’s market growth is driven more by SSS growth amid
the limited growth in retail space.

 Strong market growth expected in foreseeable future. We expect retail


sales growth of jewellery to continue to outpace overall retail sales growth
in Hong Kong and mainland China. The jewellery markets in Hong Kong
and mainland China are expected to deliver strong growth in the
foreseeable future underpinned by the increasing personal income of
mainland Chinese and low personal consumption of jewellery. In fact, we
believe personal income of mainland Chinese in second-tier cities is
approaching the threshold that triggers jewellery consumption. After
apartments and automobiles, jewellery will be the next consumer item
sought by mainland Chinese. Jewellery consumption is still limited to first-
and second-tier cities. Thus, lower-tier cities will be the next earnings driver
in the long haul.
