The Jewelry Industry’s Queen We initiate coverage on Phu Nhuan Jewelry Joint Stock Company (PNJ), a jewelry
industry outperformer, with a BUY call. We like PNJ for its large domestic market share
(20%), strong branding and extensive distribution system focused on the medium- and
high-end markets.
A high-potential market: Between 2005 and 2011, the value of gold jewelry in
Vietnam increased at a six-year CAGR of 8%, from about USD399m to USD634m.
Vietnamese jewelry consumption is quite low compared to other countries like India
and China but the domestic market’s growth is projected to be positive, driven by
the increase in domestic consumer demand in tandem with a rise in disposable
income levels.
A big domestic player: A strongly-branded player with a prestigious reputation, PNJ
is set to benefit from Vietnam’s jewelry market’s growth. It is a well-positioned
medium- and high-end jeweller with a reputation for excellent design, authentic
quality and superior craftsmanship and enjoys an extensive distribution network and
better client-retailer relationships compared to its peers.
Ambitious plans: The management has set up a five-year plan to maintain its top
position in Vietnam’s retail jewelry market. It also plans to quadruple export
revenue, projecting annual revenue and profit growth at 20% and 15% respectively.
In addition, PNJ plans to expand its retail network to 300 stores by the end of 2017.
Excellent growth record: PNJ’s 2009-2011 CAGR of gold jewelry sales and gross
profit were 29% and 20% respectively, while CAGR for silver jewelry sales were
registered at 36% and 44%.
BUY. We project the company’s posting an EPS of VND3,375 (on new capital of
VND799bn) and a forward PE of 9.2x in 2012. Our target price is VND48,800 per
share, implying a 17% premium on the current price.

A burgeoning
jewelry market
Vietnam’s jewelry industry is one of the economy’s growing segments. It is in the early stages of
development, marked by many small players but the market has been growing across all key
segments, including gold, silver, platinum and gemstones. Bigger players have significant
opportunities to capture a greater market share, thanks to their advantage of scale..
Like other Asian markets, Vietnamese customers prefer gold jewelry over others. The Vietnam
jewelry market, valued at USD634m in 2011, and grew at CAGR of 8% in 2005-2011. Locally-
manufactured gold jewelry is mainly for domestic consumption; export only takes a small percentage
of the total. Gold jewelry consumption is still quite low (0.15 gram/capita/year) compared with other
countries as India (0.39 gram/capita/year) and China (0.27 gram/capita/year). Going forward, growth
is projected to be positive, driven by increased domestic consumer demand along with the rise in
disposable income levels. Besides that, Vietnamese consumers also value gold as an important
savings and investment vehicle. Long term prospects for jewelry players are attractive, due to growth
in both population (87m people in 2011, CAGR of 1.4% in 1990-2011) and annual tourist arrivals
(3.6m people in 2011, CAGR of 11% in 2000-2011).
A player with a
strong retail
presence
A strongly-branded, prestigious company, PNJ is set to benefit from growth in the jewelry market. It is
a medium- and high-end jeweller with an extensive distribution network (151 stores as of 31 Dec
2011), and enjoys long-term client loyalty. Known for its excellent design, authentic quality and
superior craftsmanship, it has had a developed client base of medium- and high-income customers
for generations.
The company plans to aggressively grow its retail presence in Vietnam by adding 30 new stores in
FY12 to the existing 151 in the network. Since the end of June, it has fulfilled 36% its expansion plan
by opening 11 stores which include 2 gold, 8 silver and 1 Yabling accessories outlets.
Enhancing the
portfolio to drive
growth
PNJ plans to broaden its customer base by expanding its product portfolio and introducing new
machine-made, lightweight, Italian style jewelry to its range of products, which currently span the
low- (Yabling), medium- (silver, gold) and high end (CAO fine brand) segments. The company’s new
jewelry factory, launched in 2012, will expand production capacity from 3m to 5m units, roll out
newer product ranges and reduce wastage, thereby improving margins. In 2011, PNJ shortened the
production process to meet orders more quickly by industrialising production in silvery jewelry by
95% and gold jewelry by 90%. The company also recently industrialised 95% of its low-end jewelry
production process, quickening supply to meet market demand. Currently, PNJ’s design team has 59
Vietnamese members; it is also working with several domestic and international designers to launch
international standard jewelry to the market.
An able
management
team
PNJ’s management is experienced, enthusiastic and well-motivated, with a 24-year history behind
them. The company has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a small jewelry trading store
in 1988. Today, the multi-outlet company has a mix of clients from the high-, middle- and low-ends,
an ever expanding retail network (growing from 87 outlets in 2007 to 151 in 2011), and a diversified
product portfolio. It also holds aggressive promotional, marketing and branding events.

Excellent historic
growth record
coped with an
ambitious 5-year
plan
PNJ has had robust sales growth in the last three years, with 2009-2011 CAGR of gold jewelry sales
and gross profit were at 29% and 20% respectively. Meanwhile, silver jewelry sales and gross profit
had CAGR of 36% and 44% correspondingly.
The company’s management set up a five year-plan that kicked off this year to maintain its growth
momentum, top the domestic market share, increase export revenue fourfold and increase revenue
and profit by 20% and 15% annually, eventually becoming Asia’s leading jewelry processor and
retailer.
We think this plan is feasible, as PNJ management has a clear strategy. It has contracted Milanese
consulting firm Value Partner to restructure and fine-tune its development plan to become Vietnam
and Asia’s top jeweller.
BUY cal l at
DCF fai r -value
of VND48,800
/share
We used the DCF method for our evaluation on PNJ, based on its routine cash flow from the jewelry
business, and valued the company at VND48,800/share. Our calculation was based on the following
assumptions: an average risk-free rate (Rf) of 11.5%, a Beta of 0.72x (Bloomberg), a market premium
of 10%, and an average cost of debt (Rd) of 12%. We have estimated the cost of equity (Re) to be
18.7%, and consequently the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of PNJ to be 14.9%. The
perpetual growth rate is roughly 4.5%/year after 2016.

Using this method, we arrived at a fair value of VND48,800/share for the company. At the current
price of VND41,500/share, our new 12M target price suggests a 18% return and thus, we recommend
a BUY on the stock.

Risks Raw material prices are the biggest risks in this business. Gold accounts for 70%-80% of the
company’s cost of goods sold(COGS). The company cannot simply pass on the cost of gold to
jewelry customers and easily retain its margins at the same time, so the bullish gold market has
become a headwind for PNJ.
This is a low-margin company, with overall net profit margins of 1.5% in 2010 and 1.4% in 2011.
These are caused by the innate low margins (0.17%-0.34%) of the gold bar trading and gold
export businesses. Overall, PNJ’s jewelry businesses have fair gross margins: around 11% for gold
jewelry, 30% for CAO fine jewelry and 62% for silver jewelry. Looking forward, PNJ will focus its
core business to improve its profit margins.
The liquidity of the stock is low, making it less attractive as it limits the actions of large and
institutional investors. As of 15 Mar 2012, the free float is estimated at 59m shares, about 42% of
which are held by foreign institutional investors and 10% by domestic ones who are likely hold on
to their investments for the long term. Only 2.03% of remaining equity is available for foreign
investors, to comply with government mandates.
The gold and gold jewelry sectors have always played an important role in Vietnam’s society and
economy. Between 2005 and 2011, the value of gold in Vietnam increased at a six-year CAGR of 34%,
from about USD882m to USD5,195m, mostly contributed by gold investments. In 2011, Vietnam’s
gold industry grew at 59% y-o-y with consumed volume hitting 100 tonnes at USD5,195m.

Vietnam is a small player in the global gold and gold jewelry market. This industry is a minor foreign
exchange earner. According to GSO, Vietnam’s precious gems, metal and jewelry export value was
valued about USD2.7bn (-6.1% y-o-y) in 2011. Exports to the South Africa and Switzerland alone
accounted for about 89% of total export of precious metals, gems and jewelry from Vietnam

Gold Investment Demand for gold bars has surged in recent years; in 2011 it rose 28% y-o-y to 87 tonnes, thanks to
decreasing confidence in the VND on account of high inflation and the depreciation of its value
against the greenback. Investors have tried to hedge gold investments against paper money’s loss in
value. The Vietnamese gold investment market in 2011 alone was worth $4.5bn (up 68% y-o-y, and
growing 25% per annum from 2008-2011). Demand has been robust, due to the Vietnamese habit of
placing greater trust in gold – and using it as an investment tool - over paper money and the local
banking system.

Gold bars were traditionally traded by small family jewellers though the government has controlled
this business since 2012. According to 3 April’s decree 24/2012/ND-CP, government now strictly
controls gold bar trading and gold jewelry businesses. The State now has monopolistic rights to
produce gold bars, manage exports and imports to produce them. Business licenses for gold bar
trading enterprises are granted when companies satisfy the following conditions: they must own
capital of over VND100bn, have paid gold trading taxes of over VND500m for two consecutive years
and possess a distribution network spread over at least three provinces. By the end of 2012, all small
family-owned businesses, banking and jewelery companies must have licenses to legally trade gold
bars.
In 1Q2012, demand for gold investments was at 20 tonnes (up 43% y-o-y, down 21% q-o-q), and
demand in 1QFY12 is likely to remain in a key position with a value of USD1,087m (down 21% q-o-q
and up 71% y-o-y).

Vietnam Gold
Jewelry
Vietnam’s jewelry industry is largely unorganized. There are over 12,000 players in it, the majority
being family jewellers and the others comprising of organised retail players. The domestic jewelry
market has been growing across all key segments including gold, silver, platinum and gemstones, with
gold being the preferred choice among clients. Between 2005 and 2011, the value of gold jewelry in
Vietnam increased at a six-year CAGR of 8%, from about USD399m to USD634m. In 2011, Vietnam’s
gold jewelry demand grew by 14% y-o-y to USD634m, but occupied only 13% of total gold demand.
The jewelry market actually contracted in volume by 10% at 13 tonnes in 2011. The gold price’s
double-digit increase helped to boost the value up 14% y-o-y, even as volume shrank 10% in the same
period.
Vietnam’s gold jewelry industry has grown in value at a CAGR of 8% (a 11% decrease) since 2005,
lower than the growth rate of nominal GDP. We attribute the modest increase to the bull market that
pushed up input costs and end-product prices, which eventually restrained growth.
In 1Q2012, demand slipped 9% to five tonnes, as a y-o-y increase in the local price of gold (and
diminishing VND value) discouraged demand among customers already battling high inflation levels.
Gold jewelry demand in Vietnam in 1QFY12 is likely to turn positive, with a value of USD269m(up
9.8% y-o-y) and volume at five tonnes (down 9% y-o-y).

It is also apparent that jewelry isn’t as popular in Southeast Asia as it is in China or India, which
account for 55% of global demand. Consumption in Vietnam is 0.15 gram/capita/year, compared with
India (0.47 gram/capita/year) and China (0.38 gram/capita/year). Going forward, growth in Vietnam’s
jewelery market is projected to be positive, driven by the increase in domestic consumer demand and
the rise in disposable income levels.

Mission & Goals for 2012-2017
PNJ aims to be a leading company in jewelry processing and retailing in Asia, while holding pole
position in Vietnam for all of its segments.
It aims for its export sales to expand fourfold by the end of 2017, with revenue increasing 20% and
profit by 15% each year.
PROJECTIONS
1H2012 results In 1H2012, the company added 11 new stores, totalling 162 outlets across Vietnam. Management
was confident of meeting its target of adding 30 stores during the current financial year.
In its unconsolidated financial results, PNJ reported 1HFY12 net revenue of VND3,318bn (down 58%
y-o-y) on the back of weak gold bar demand. Gold segment sales decreased 59% at VND2,956bn
while gold bar sales shrank 61% to VND1,454bn. 24k gold exports were down 100% y-o-y and gold
jewelry only shrank by 1% y-o-y at VND 1,796 bn. PNJ expects gold trading revenue to fall this year,
due to expected lower consumption of gold bars after the issuance of the new MOF circular on gold
bar trading management. Besides that, silver jewelry sales slightly increased 0.5% (at VND85 bn) in
basis y-o-y respectively.
Moreover, selling expense has increased with higher employees’ wages. PNJ had a operating profit of
VND152bn (down 16% y-o-y) for 2011, which translated into a PAT of VND127bn (-14% y-o-y).

Gross profit margins for 1H12 was up to 8.9% (+4.8% y-o-y), due to strong contributions from the
jewelry segment. Gold jewelry sales accounted for 70% of gross profit, followed by silver at 22%, gold
bar trading at 6% and others at 2%. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales were down 5%
y-o-y to 91.1% in 1HFY12. Gross profits margin of jewelery sales also decreased on average by 2.2%
due to more spending on promotions to boost sales in 1H2012.

(+1.96% y-o-y). According to the company’s targets, PNJ’s operations in 1HFY12 have fulfilled the

Projections for 2012-2016
On 25 May 2012 the State Bank officially promulgated Circular No. 16/2012/TT-NHNN to guide some
articles of Decree No. 24/2012/ND-CP on the management of gold trading activities. According to the
circular, the six-month transition period for gold trading businesses starting on 10 July is a period in
which banks and enterprises need to acquire new licenses in order to be legally allowed to trade in
gold bars.
Over the next five years, PNJ will focus on its core business while reducing its operations in gold bar
trading and 24k gold exports. We expect revenue from gold and CAO fine jewelry sales to grow at
CAGR of 13% and 11%, lower than the 24% and 22% respectively recorded from 2007 to 2011. Silver
sales will grow to 35%, a 1% increase from the 2007 to 2011 period as well.
In 29 June, PNJ also completed liquidating its stake in Dai Viet Energy (Vinagas) to Totalgaz Company
at VND122.5bn, thereby earning VND52.5bn in income for the company

Charter capital raising plan
The company is scheduled to increase its charter capital from VND599.9bn to VND799.9bn (+33% y-o-
y) through the issuance of 19,999,728 shares, of which 60% has been set aside for bonus shares, 25%
for private issue and 15% allocated for its Employee Stock Ownership Plan in FY12.
The Company recently announced that the ex-right date for bonus share would be 24 August 2012.
We also raised the questions of schedule and target price for the remainder of shares to be issued,
though company representatives answered that the plan has not fixed yet. In this model, we assume
that the issuing price for employees and strategic investors will be VND15,000 and VND34,000 per
share (after being adjusted for the bonus share issuance mentioned), respectively. Hence, the total
proceeds from the issuance is approximately VND200 bn.
