Foshan Haitian Flavouring A/H Listing - Strong Brand but Sales Have Been Slowing Down

<ul>
<li>The entire condiments market in China is deeply mired in fierce competition with limited market increment space. The future performance growth of companies in the industry will further slow down.</li>
<li>Haitian tries to find new growth points through diversification/internationalization. A big concern is whether China’s local brand will face "adaptation issue" overseas. The supply chain system is not yet perfect</li>
<li>Due to the concerns on slowing performance growth in the future as well as the uncertainties on internationalization, we think reasonable valuation for Haitian is about 20-30x P/E.</li>
