    A safe havenInvestors appear to recognize the competitive advantages and growth

    opportunities of Vinamilk. The company has a good brandname, economy

    of scales, an extensive distribution network, and expanding production

    capacity to meet growing demand. Given the lack of viable alternatives in

    the Vietnamese stock market, we believe it will remain a safe haven for

    investors despite its relatively high PER. We initiate with a Buy

    recommendation and a target price of VND106,000.

    Double digit growth potential

    Vietnam still has one of the lowest levels of dairy consumption in the world, and

    so Vinamilk can still maintain double-digit growth in revenue and net profit.Growth in demand is being supported by the growing middle class and educationon dairy nutrition. Vinamilk can catch the opportunity with its nationwidedistribution network and expanding capacity.

    Stable profit margin

    Vinamilks profit margin will remain stable. VNM can pass most of its higher rawmaterial costs to its consumers. Economies of scale and effective inventory andexpense management will reduce its unit cost. Hence, Vinamilks profit margins,ROE and ROA will remain high.

    Plenty of cash to pay dividends

    Vinamilk will make most of its capacity expansion in FY12, and vertical

    expansion in coming years will cost less. The company has no outstanding debtand strong operating cash flow, so financing future investments and dividends isnot an issue. Vinamilk will pay a dividend of VND 3,000 per share in FY12.

    Target price offers some upsideOur target price of VND106,000 per share is based on its historic average PERand PBR as well as our DCF method. Compared with its region peers, we notethat VNM tends to trade at a lower PER, though a direct comparison is difficultgiven Vietnams high inflation rate. The foreign price of VNM is now at our targetprice, and VNM represents 12% of the Ho Chi Minh Index.

    Investment thesis

    Strengths

    The dairy industry has grown at a CAGR of 17% for the period from FY06 to FY11 in

    revenue and 8.1% in volume from FY03 to FY11. However, dairy consumption is still lowcompare to the region and to world standards, implying strong long-term growth potential.

    With 30 years of history, diversified products, a trusted brandname, Vinamilk holds a

    leading industry position with a 39% market share in FY10. Continued aggressive brand

    building, educating customer and pioneer products will assure Vinamilk hangs onto this

    position. Overall growth will be supported by low dairy consumption, large population and

    increasing income by the middle class.

    Our forecast sees potential growth of 6.5% in volume for the next 5 years for the industry.

    We estimate that VNM will continue to achieve growth rate of 21% and 16% in revenue

    and net profit respectively in FY13. Onward, revenue and profit will both sustain at 22% for

    the next 5 years. In addition, its cash position allows VNM to continue paying dividend of

    VND 3,000 per share in FY13 and potentially increasing it in later years.

    The risks

    There is increasing competition from local and foreign players. A local player, TH Milk, had

    started to invest US$400mn for its factory and cow farm, expected to invest total of

    US$1.2bn in the dairy industry. Increasing investment in cow farm, factory and strong

    advertisement from Friesland Campina to expand production and increase its market

    share. Number of smaller players (Long Thanh Milk, Moc Chau, Ba Vi milk) entered liquid

    and yogurt market segment, which provide more substitute products, create more

    competitive market. With lower import-tax for dairy products (3%-5%) encouraging the

    flow of brandname dairy products to Vietnam. It could affect Vinamilk revenue and lower

    profit margin.

    Raw material accounts for more than 60% of COGs, in which high percentage is imported,

    and so any change in raw material price could put a huge affect to Vinamilks profit

    margin.

    VNM cannot immediately transfer all the volatile of raw material to its customer via selling

    price adjustment. In FY09, Whole milk powder (WMP) price decreased from US$4/kg to

    2.8/kg, which is 41% decline, but the gross margin increased from 32% to 37%. However,

    VNM gradually increase its selling price and cleverly manage its inventory to partially

    hedging this risk. For FY09/11, WMP increased 53.6%, from US$ 2.8/kg to 4.3/kg, still

    gross margin reduced from 37% to 31% due to these matters.

    Industry Overview

    No history of dairy consumptionDairy consumption per capital has increased strongly from 9kg in FY03 to 15.7kg in FY11.

    The CAGR for this period is 8.1%, but compared with average consumption in Asia Pacific

    and the world, Vietnam falls into lowest range. Vietnam is only 16% of average Pacific

    Asia milk consumption and 7% of daily-recommended nutrition.

    Reliance on imported dairy products

    Local dairy production satisfies only 21% of current demand. Vietnam has to import 79%

    of its dairy consumption. The government encourages expansion of cow farms and dairy

    production capacity. Vietnam targets to have 400,000 dairy cows and a self-sufficiency

    rate of 39% in FY20. Even if Vietnam can achieve this ambitious plan, the dairy industry

    still has to rely on imported dairy. Because of the gap between demand and supply, the

    market can absorb continuously increasing selling prices and still grow at double-digit

    rates.

    Vietnams two children policy, which led to more spending on kids, also affects the

    consumption of dairy product. All of these factors will keep the industry on its strong

    growth path.

    Market share Outlook

    Vinamilk dominates the yogurt and condensed milk market, with a market share in FY11 of71% and 88% respectively. We do not expect this will change in the medium future.

    Condensed milk has a low margin (est. gross margin of 13%), low growth rate (volume

    growth rate from 2-3%) and requires significant capital to manufacture. Friesland seems to

    have given up on this product line and small players find it not attractive enough to enter.

    Vinamilk with its 88% market has been the leader for this market.

    Yogurt involves heavy investment in coolers and chilled transportation vehicles, which will

    create a barrier for new entry. With 178,000 sales points and yogurt factories in the north,

    south and central of Vietnam, Vinamilk has an advantage for this product, and guarantees

    its dominant market share.

    The most profitable product line, powdered milk, is lead by Abbot Vietnam with the market

    share of 23.8% in FY10, followed by Vinamilk with 18.5%. Foreign companies still

    dominate the market, accounting for a 61.4% market share. Vietnamese perception on

    imported/foreigner brand is the key reason for the popularity of foreign brands. Vinamilk

    targets to increase market share by significantly lower price (lower by 10-30% compare to

    international brands) and gradually education of customersview by advertisement,

    conventions and events. Vinamilk is expecting to gain its target of 35% market share, but

    its appears it will takes much longer or a different strategy to change customersview.

    Operations

    Vinamilk achieved strong revenue growth rate for the past period, CAGR for FY05-FY11 is

    25%. Total revenues for FY11 reached US$1 bn. Despite the slow-down, melamine crisis,

    and economic downturn, Vinamilk still achieved impressive business results.

    Gross and net margin have remained at double-digits since listing in FY06. The gross

    margin had been improving from an average of 24.5% for FY05-FY07 to 32.9% for the

    period FY08-FY11. Good management and effective inventory policy have kept VNMs

    price very competitive.

    Over 200 products to satisfy difference classes of income

    Vinamilk possess extensive products under 5 brand names: Vinamilk (liquid milk, yogurt,

    ice cream), Vfresh (fruit juice and soy milk), Dielac (powdered milk), Ridielac (nutrition

    powdered) and condensed milk and aiming for higher margin value-added products.

    Due to health concern, we notice Vinamilk is shifting to more value added products. For

    yogurt, Vinamilk came up with Collagen added product, Liquid milk with ADM andpowdered milk with product with adding more nutrition ingredient. VNM has the products

    for all income levels with broad packaging products size and flavours.

    Production capacity

    Capacity increased steadily with a CAGR of 19.5% for FY07-FY12, total capacity of 1.1mn

    tons in FY12 and expect to increase to 1.6mn tons by FY13. In FY11, capacity grew by

    38.5% with the operation of its Tien Son factory (with condensed milk, yogurt and liquid

    milk). The capacity increased to 1.1mn tons when the Danang factory start to operate in

    FY12, adding to the supply of liquid milk and yogurt into Vietnam central market. With

    Danang factory, Vinamilk is the first one to have a factory in this part. With a factory in this

    area, Vinamilk will make distribution more efficient and strengthen Vinamilk position in

    raising cities in central region.

    Historically, Vinamilk utilisation rate remained at an average of 70%. With significant

    growth of capacity recently, we expect the utilisation rate will be below 60% level and

    slowly increase. At the capacity of 1.6mn tons, it will be good enough for Vinamilk in 5

    years term.

    Distribution networksVinamilk has the most extensive nationwide distribution network, which cover all 64

    provinces. In FY11, the distribution network includes 232 distributors and 178,000 sale

    outlets throughout the country (growth of 27% compare to FY10). Vinamilk continue to

    expand and strengthen this network to be able to distribute directly to customer especially

    in rural area where more than 70% of the population is. Rural area played a key role forthe sharp sale increase in recent years. Vinamilk will make the network more efficient by

    building a factory in Danang and Thanh Hoa to strengthen its position in the central part of

    Vietnam (none of the competitors have factory in this area).

    Vinamilk use both modern and traditional distribution channel. Modern channel is to take

    advantage of the increasing urbanization. However, traditional distribution (mom & pop

    shops) channel is vital as it accounts for 80% of Vinamilk total sales.

    Revenue & Profit Drivers

    VNM achieved revenue growth rate at CAGR of 25% for the period from FY05-FY11. Of

    this, powdered milk, liquid milk and yogurt had the strongest growth rate, achieving a

    CAGR of 42%, 37% and 38% over the same period respectively. VNM has been focusing

    more on premium products with better growth rate and better margin. Contribution ofliquid, powdered and yogurt become more important for Vinamilk to sustain growth in

    revenue and profit.

    Condensed milk has the lowest profit margin. We estimate the gross margin is 13%, in

    which more than 80% of the COGs is raw materials. Volatility in raw material prices will

    affect this product line the most. Liquid milk and yogurt have the gross margin of 35% and

    44% respectively. The premium powdered segment has the highest margin of 61%;

    however, foreigners dominate this segment. Vinamilk products are in the low-end to

    middle-end. We estimate the gross margin for powdered milk is 38%. Those are the three

    product lines that Vinamilk focuses on to grow revenues and profits.

    Liquid milkOn average, liquid milk accounted for 31% of revenue for the past 4 years, reaching 35%

    in FY11. Vinamilk is the market leader in this segment with a 40.9% of market share. For

    the near term, liquid milk is still the most important driver for revenues and profits.

    With the base of UHT milk, in FY11, Vinamilk introduced pasteurized milk and ADM addedmilk to penetrate increasing demand for more nutrition & fresh milk. The ADM, which

    come in 110 & 180 ml, targets children of hectic families. Demanding for convenience is

    the key reasons for recent trend of switching from powdered GUM to read-to-drink white

    and flavoured milk. With a historical CAGR for FY06-FY10 of 15.8% and expected CAGR

    for FY11-FY15 of 13.1%, liquid milk remains a key growth and profit contributor. With rich

    and pioneering products, Vinamilk will grow strong in this segment.

    Plain white milk and flavoured milk still dominate the market. However, we do not see

    much choice for customers in term of vitamin added products and low fat milk yet. Big

    cities account for more than 70% of milk consumption. We had seen Vinamilk launched

    ADM added liquid milk; this could be the beginning for a new trend of product series. We

    believe VNM could still grow more than 15% in term of volume within this segment.

    Powdered milk

    This is the most attractive segment with high profit margin and strong near-term growth.

    Vinamilk has 18.5% of market share in FY10 and contributed an average of 28% of total

    revenue in FY08-FY11. Vinamilk targeted a 35% market share in FY11, but failed. The

    significant high birth rate in FY12 (golden dragon year) will boost the growth rate in the

    near future. CAGR for FY06-FY10 was 18.5%. According to EMI forecast, volume CAGR

    for FY11-FY16 is 6.5%, however we expect growth rate will be higher compare to EMI

    forecast from the current baby boom.

    Parent wants the best products for their newborn child. Vietnameses perspective of

    imported/ foreigner brand is superior and they are willing to pay higher price for it.

    Vinamilks strategy of keeping a competitive price (average 10-30% lower compare to

    international brand) and promoting the creditability of local brand with the campaign

    Vietnamese use Vietnamese good, we expect Vinamilk will slowly increase its market

    Yogurt milkThe market grew at CAGR of 7% for FY06-FY11, market size reached VND4tn in FY11.

    Vinamilk dominates the market with 71% market share (92% market share of spoonableyogurt). With more value added products (pre/pro-biotic, collagen product), good brand

    name, and actively marketing strategy, segment s sale achieved average growth rate of

    53% for FY09-FY11.

    We believe Vinamilk will stay dominant in this market with its current strategy. We expect

    revenue growth will remain at 18% for medium term.

    Condensed MilkVinamilks first product line, condensed milk had been the most contributor for VNM in

    term of revenue and profit in the past. With long shelf-life and ease to use with boiling

    water, it had been widely used as a nutrition food in the past and is now used in coffee/

    juice sweetener in the local market. Those are the catalyst for condensed milk to grow(CAGR for FY05-FY11 is 18%). VNM has 88% of this market, and we expect the growth

    rate will be lower due to switching to liquid milk usage. Condensed milk s revenue

    contribution dropped from 28% in FY05 to 18% in FY11, and we expect this trend to

    continue in VNM revenue proportion.

    Other F&BThe segment is driven by fruit juice and soya milk. Currently, this segment is less

    important in terms of revenue and profit; it contributes 1.6% in FY11 revenue. With 22%

    market share in the beverage industry, we expect stronger growth rate for the coming

    years. However due to the competitive landscape, the margin is low and the market size is

    small (Market size is VND950 bn for FY11). To be conservative, we assume the volumegrowth rate is 12% for next 5 years.

    Dividend outlook

    Historically, VNM has maintained a dividend payout ratio from 30-40%. With current and

    future strong cash flow, we believe VNM could remain the dividend per share as VND

    3,000 or even increase it in the future.

    With the current price, the dividend yield is 3.5%, but with rich operation cash flow,

    Vinamilk could increase future dividend if the management see fit.

    Capital spending

    Expected capital spending for FY12 is VND4.5tn, of which 65% is to expand productioncapacity especially in drinking milk, yogurt and powdered milk. In August FY12, the

    Danang factory was put in operation, bring an addition 77,000 tons of liquid milk and

    26,000 tons of yogurt. We expect all of its under-construction factory to be operated in

    Capex for the period from FY13-FY16 is VND3tn, so VNM will spend VND871bn annually

    for the next 5 years. Most of the capital will be used for vertical investment, which improve

    the self-sufficient rate of raw material.

    Vinamilk focuses on improving efficiency and minimizing risks in long-run. Vietnam Dairy

    cow will help Vinamilk to be proactive for liquid milk requirement. Its investment in New

    Zealand based powdered milk producer (VNM bought 19.3% Miraka stake) will help on

    stabilizing the import material and improve its brand name in powdered milk (Vietnamese

    foreign brand name perspective). If Vinamilk could fulfil its target of having 28,000

    (currently Vinamilk has 9,500 cow heads) cows by FY16, it could produce up to 80,000tonnes of fresh milk and help Vinamilk to self-efficient 25% of fresh milk demand.

    ValuationWe use a combination of P/E, P/B and Discounted Cash Flow methods to come up with

    the target price. With stable cash flow and transparent CAPEX, we strongly rely on DCF.

    We use the proportion of 15%, 15% and 70% respectively from above three methods. Our

    12 months target price is VND106,000 per share.

    DCF valuation

    Our fair valuation for VNM by using DCF method is VND102,970 for FY12E per share for

    core business based on WACC of 15.5% for FY12. We use a terminal growth rate of 3%

    and 25% tax rate. Rolling our valuation forward to FY14E, per share value rise to

    VND116,298, which implies a rise in valuation of 37.6% over a two year time horizon.

    Comparison with peers

    Due to the size and the uniqueness of Vinamilk, we choose its peers as in the F& B sector

    within Asia Pacific region. Vinamilk is currently trading at PER of 13.8x, which is lower

    compare with the average of 17.2x of its peers, P/B is higher compare to average of 2.8x.

    However, in term of ROE of 40.8%, ROA of 33.2% and current dividend yield 3.1%,Vinamilk is almost twice of the peers average. Strong growth potential, high profit margin

    and low relative comparison makes VNM look attractive within the group.

    All Report Types

    Analyst Certification

    I, Anh Nguyen, hereby certify that the views expressed in this report accurately reflect my personal views about

    the subject securities or issuers. I also certify that no part of my compensation was, is, or will be, directly or

    indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report. The equity research

    analysts responsible for the preparation of this report receive compensation based upon various factors,

    including the quality and accuracy of research, client feedback, competitive factors, and overall firm revenues,which include revenues from, among other business units, Institutional Equities and Investment Banking.

    VCSC Rating System and Valuation Methodology

    Absolute performance, long term (fundamental) rating key: The recommendation is based on implied

    absolute upside/downside for the stock from the target price, defined as (target price current price)/current

    price, and is not related to market performance. This structure applies from 1 November 2010.

    Equity rating key Definition

    BUY If the target price is 20% higher than the market price

    ADD If the target price is 10-20% higher than the market price

    HOLD If the target price is 10% below or 10% above the market price

    REDUCE If the target price is 10-20% lower than the market price

    SELL If the target price is 20% lower than the market price

    NOT RATED The company is or may be covered by the Research Department but no rating or

    target price is assigned either voluntarily or to comply with applicable regulation

    and/or firm policies in certain circumstances, including when VCSC is acting in an

    advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving the company.

    RATING SUSPENDED The investment rating and target price for this stock have been suspended as there is

    not a sufficient fundamental basis for determining an investment rating or target. The

    previous investment rating and target price, if any, are no longer in effect for this

    stock.

    Unless otherwise specified, these performance parameters only reflect capital appreciation and are set with a 12-

    month horizon. Future price volatility may cause temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock

    based on market price and the formal recommendation, thus these performance parameters should be

    interpreted flexibly.Small Cap Research: VCSC Research covers companies with a market capitalisation of up to USD50mn,

    inclusively. Clients should note that coverage may not be consistent and that VCSC may drop coverage of small

    caps at any time without notice.

    Target price:In most cases, the target price will equal the analyst's assessment of the current fair value of the

    stock. The target price is the level the stock should currently trade at if the market were to accept the analyst's

    view of the stock, provided the necessary catalysts were in place to effect this change in perception within the

    performance horizon. However, if the analyst doesn't think the market will reassess the stock over the specified

    time horizon due to a lack of events or catalysts, then the target price may differ from fair value. In most cases,

    therefore, our recommendation is an assessment of the mismatch between current market price and our

    assessment of current fair value.

    Valuation Methodology:To derive the target price, the analyst may use different valuation methods, including,

    but not limited to, discounted free cash-flow and comparative analysis. The selection of methods depends on the

    industry, the company, the nature of the stock and other circumstances. Company valuations are based on a

    single or a combination of one of the following valuation methods: 1) Multiple-based models (P/E, P/cash flow,

    EV/sales, EV/EBIT, EV/EBITA, EV/EBITDA), peer-group comparisons, and historical valuation approaches; 2)

    Discount models (DCF, DVMA, DDM); 3) Break-up value approaches or asset-based evaluation methods;

    and 4) Economic profit approaches (Residual Income, EVA). Valuation models are dependent on

    macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth, interest rates, exchange rates, raw materials, on other

    assumptions about the economy, as well as risks inherent to the company under review. Furthermore, market

    sentiment may affect the valuation of companies. Valuations are also based on expectations that might change

    rapidly and without notice, depending on developments specific to individual industries.

    Risks: Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Foreign currency rates of exchange may

    adversely affect the value, price or income of any security or related instrument mentioned in this report. For

    investment advice, trade execution or other enquiries, clients should contact their local sales representative.
