Shandong Ruyi Technology Group Co Ltd Manufacturing
1Q19 Credit report 19 June 2019 China
Credit report DW-APAC 19-June-19
OVERVIEW
Shandong Ruyi Technology Group, a Shandong-based textile manufacturer and global fashion brands owner, showed in its latest results that 1Q19 revenue and EBITDA improved largely as the result of its 51.8%-owned French luxury fashion brand manager and retailer SMCP. However, a series of debt-funded acquisition - including SMCP in 2016 - combined with the poor performance from its legacy textile business has left Ruyi with high leverage and weak liquidity ahead of the December maturity of USD 345m bonds.
In total, Ruyi reported CNY 12.3bn debt due within one year of 31 March 2018 - including the USD bonds and CNY 2.7bn domestic notes maturing or puttable by November - against just CNY 8.36bn cash, including restricted. Its net leverage, while

improving a tad, was still 7.7x as of end March. That is up from 3.8x in 2012, the year before the company began raising significant amounts of debt to fund diverse overseas acquisitions, including cotton farms in Australia, fashion brands in France and Japan and a power plant in Pakistan.
Prompted by frustration over Ruyi’s apparent lack of a refinancing plan, holders of the USD 345m, 7.5% due-2019s floated the idea of an exchange offer early this year, according to a 15 March Debtwire article. Instead, the company eventually touted other refinancing options, including spinning off self-used commercial and industrial properties into a Singapore REIT, an ambitious deal considering that the underlying assets are in third-tier Chinese cities, as per a 9 May Debtwire article. (For more details on Ruyi’s potential refinancing plans, see page 3).
Weighing on the private company’s credit profile is its corporate governance stumbles. As Debtwire reported in mid-2017, the state backed shareholder Ruyi disclosed in its bond offering circulars had actually transferred the stake to another state entity, a foible management later blamed on the shareholder’s lack of disclosures. (For more details on Ruyi’s corporate governance issues, see page 4.)

1Q19 Credit report 19 June 2019 China
Credit report DW-APAC 19-June-19
Cash flow: Free cash flow looks likely to improve in 2019 on the back of lowered capex, but should still be negative for the year, meaning the company is unlikely to have excess internal cash to help repay debt, leaving a lot of liability management left to do.
Using the TTM end-March operating cash flow of 1.9bn, and assuming Ruyi continues to rein in capex to 2016-2017 average levels of CNY 2.1bn, 2019 free cash flow should improve but still come in around negative CNY 300m. 2018 FCF was negative CNY 1.07bn, when capex was CNY 2.96bn.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Reduced capex seems likely because the main reason for the 2018 increase was not higher maintenance capex but rather the CNY 1.2bn purchase of an office building in Jining, Shandong from Industrial & Commercial Bank ICBC.
In 1Q19, free cash flow improved slightly YoY, to CNY 65m (CNY 62m in 1Q18), because capex was only CNY 55m (1Q18: CNY 85m), offsetting a 16.6% decline in OCF, to CNY 120m. OCF fell despite a 21.2% increase in EBITDA, to CNY 894m. That was partly the result of a 17.4% YoY rise in cash interest paid, to CNY 370m. The undisclosed remainder may have been
trapped in working capital. S&P noted in a 15 May press release that Ruyi would likely have growing working capital needs in 2019 in order to fund its planned expansion of self-owned stores as well to penetrate online channels.
1Q is not a good barometer for Ruyi's performance, given that in the past two years, OCF and capex for the quarter made up a fraction of the full year figures.
Business performance: Revenue grew by 34.3% YoY in 1Q to CNY 11.83bn, helping EBITDA increase by 21.2% YoY, to CNY 894m. The 82bps EBITDA margin
Shandong Ruyi Technology Group transformed from a state-owned enterprise to a privately held company in 2001. Shandong-based Ruyi operates a full textile and apparel products value chain. Its upstream capacity includes raw materials sourc-ing, wool and cotton production, and ownership of sheep farms and cotton fields in Australia. Midstream includes wool- and cotton-based fab-rics manufacturing, apparel design and produc-tion. Downstream includes apparel retailers, in addition to selling through distributors. Ruyi also engages in textile raw materials trading. Main segments include apparel, yarn and fabrics, tex-tile raw material trading, as detailed below:
Apparel segment: Made up 78.7% of the group’s CNY 8.94bn total gross profit in 2018, with a rela-tively juicy gross profit margin of 57.3%. The seg-ment includes Ruyi’s self-produced high-end suits and brands held through acquired stakes in brand operators, which contributed more than 90% of the segment’s revenues, according to the April 2019 onshore bond OC. Ruyi owns about 40 brands. Its major consolidated brand operators include:
● SMCP (SMCP EPA): Ruyi acquired control of the French subsidiary in 2016 and owned a 51.8% stake as of end-2018. Its gross profit equivalent to 56.4% of Ruyi’s total gross profit. SMCP operates wholesale and retail sales of accessible luxury brands Sandro, Maje and Claudie Pierlot. Sandro designs and sells wom-en clothes, bags and shoes and active and smart casual attire for men. Maje designs and sells women urban fashion including bags and
accessories. Claudie Pierlot focuses in tradi-tional style women and girls' clothes, bags, shoes and accessories.
● Renown (3606 TYO): Ruyi acquired control in 2010 and owned 53% of the Japanese apparel manufactures and purveyor as of end-2018. Renown’s gross profit was JPY 29bn (CNY 1.85bn) during FY19 ended- February, which equates to 20.7% of Ruyi’s 2018 gross profit. Renown operates 29 brands including Durban, Aquascutum and Simple Life. D'urban focuses in men's business and leisure wear. Aquascu-tum is a British classic brand known for women waterproof trench coats, also designs and sells men and women’s luxury clothes and accesso-ries. Simple Life offers men and women's natu-ral and simple modern casual clothes.
Yarn & fabrics segment: Made up 8.7% of the group’s CNY 8.94bn total gross profits in 2018, with a GPM of 10.6%. Cotton yard and wool, which contributed 46.6% and 37.5% of the seg-ment’s 1Q18(1) revenue respectively in 2018 were the main products. Other products include Denim (7.2% of the segment’s revenue) and spandex (2.8% of segment’s revenue). 45.9% of yarn and fabric production are sold overseas as of 1Q18(1).
Textile raw material trading segment: Made up 3.8% of the group’s total gross profits in 2018, with a GPM of 2.8%. Main trading products in-clude cotton (49.2% of segment’s revenue in 1Q18(1)) and cotton yarn (44.1% of segment’s revenue in 1Q18(1)). Other trading products in-clude wool top and dyed fabrics.
“Other” segment: Made up 8.7% of the group’s gross profits. This segment includes cotton plant and electricity and steam generation. Ruyi owns a 93,483 hectares cotton farm in Australia (Cubbie Station), which mainly sells locally. Ruyi also owns a 50% stake in a power plant in Paki-stan with 660MWx2 capacity in a joint venture with China Huaneng Group. According to Debtwire 9 May report, the plant generated CNY 700m profits last year.
Shareholding: Beijing Ruyi Fashion Investment Holding is Ruyi’s largest controlling shareholder with a 53.49% stake. This gives the group’s ulti-mate controller and chairman Qiu Yafu a look-through stake of 27.3%. (See 28 May 2018 Share-holder Profile on Qiu Yafu for detailed back-ground). As of 12 March, Beijing Ruyi’s 51.4% had been pledged to back borrowings from Chi-na Cinda Asset Management, Shandong Interna-tional Trust Investment and Bank of China, ac-cording to the 12 March 2019 onshore bond OC.
Yinchuan Financial Holding, which is majority owned by Yinchuan State-owned Assets Super-vision and Administration Commission (SASAC), holds a 26% stake in Ruyi.
Japanese trading corporation Itochu Group is the third largest shareholder, with 11.72% stake. The remaining 6.6% is held by Mild International. (1) The latest data available

contraction, to 7.6%, continued the 20018 trend, when revenue fell 4.1%, to CNY 34.28bn, but EBITDA fell 37.2%, to CNY 2.38bn.
Ruyi doesn’t break out segmented EBITDA, but based on the limited disclosures it and some of its subsidiaries do make, the 2018 EBITDA decline appears to be largely driven by a significant decline in the non-apparel segment.
The legacy yarn and fabrics segment’s revenue declined by 31.4% in 2018, to CNY 7.44bn, leading to a CNY 431m decline in gross profit, to CNY 785m, according to the financial statement. Management noted in the annual report that the fall in revenue was the result of the deconsolidation of subsidiaries Ruyi sold to its parent company, which a June 2018 Dagong Global Credit Rating report stated was for CNY 1.925bn in late 2017 (see related parties transactions section on page 4).
The company's "other" non-apparel segment, which includes a cotton farm in Australia and a 50% stake in a Pakistan power plant, experienced a 27.7% decline in gross profit for the year, to CNY 777m. Ruyi doesn't explain in the 2018 annual report the reason for the decline.
Ruyi's remaining operations consists of its apparel businesses, which accounted for 78.7% of gross profit in 2018. Apparel is almost entirely made up of 51.8%-owned SMCP and 53%-owned Japanese apparel producer and brands operator Renown. SMCP’s reported gross profit is equivalent to 56.4% of Ryui’s consolidated gross profit in 2018(4). Its EBITDA for the year rose 4.2% YoY.
Renown on the other hand experienced an EBITDA loss in FY19 through February of CNY 109m compared to positive EBITDA of CNY 56m in the year prior. While the different fiscal year end makes it hard to precisely quantify Renown's impact, its standalone figures for FY19 suggest that its contribution to the overall decline in Ruyi's EBITDA in 2018 was relatively minor.
Ruyi’s refinancing options: Management, beginning in late April and during meetings with credit investors in early May, outlined the following refinancing options for the USD bonds, as Debtwire reported:
● Listing via a Singapore REIT commercial and industrial properties provisionally valued at CNY 8bn: Ruyi hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to appraise the properties but has been proceeding under management’s
assumption that the properties are worth CNY 8bn (USD 1.19bn), as per a 9 May Debtwire article. The valuation is key because management plans to sell a minority stake in the REIT to raise CNY 3bn for the redemption of the due-December notes. The Debtwire article highlighted doubts as to whether investors would buy into a REIT whose underlying assets are located in third-tier Chinese cities. S-REITS require the underlying assets to yield in excess of five-year Singapore sovereign bonds (currently yielding 1.99%), King & Wood Mallesons stated in a 13 September 2018 report in Lexology, an online publication for legal updates, analysis and insights. In April, Ruyi mandated DBS Bank to run a USD 450m IPO in Singapore of the property assets, as Debtwire reported at the time.
● Selling its 50% stake in a 660x2 MW thermal-power plant in Pakistan: Joint-venture partner China Huaneng Group had been interested in buying out Ruyi’s stake, but Ruyi’s USD 3.5bn valuation for plant was too high, considering the industry P/E is usually 10x and the plant generates CNY 500m-CNY 700m (USD 72.4m-101.3m) profit annually, according to the 30 April Debtwire article. At that multiple, the plant would only be worth between USD 724m and USD 1.01bn. Ruyi bought the 50% stake for only USD 180m in 2015.
● USD 500m offshore bond issuance quota expiring by end-March 2020: Ruyi is reluctant to refinance through an offshore bond issuance, given where it outstanding notes are yielding, as per the 30 April Debtwire report. The December 2019s were yielding 15.55% as of 18 June and due-July 2022s were at 15.19%, according to Markit.
● Drawing on credit facilities: Management considered drawing on domestic uncommitted credit lines from Citic Bank and Minsheng Bank, which have at least CNY 4.5bn remaining unused as per the 30 April Debtwire report.
Leverage & debt profile: Aided by improved YoY EBITDA in 1Q19, net debt to EBITDA for TTM ended March improved a tad, to 7.7x, from 8x as of end December. But leverage remains significantly higher than the 4.1x in 2015, the year before a Ruyi vehicle’s EUR 1.3bn purchase of SMCP. Because of its debt-fueled expansion (see page 5 for a list of acquisitions), Ruyi’s debt has soared in recent years at a much faster pace than EBITDA. Its CNY 27.75bn total debt as of TTM to end-March 2019 was 80.5% higher than as of end 2015. EBITDA rose by just 48.7% during that period.
To back the purchases, Ruyi has had to tap the expressive private debt market, as Debtwire exclusively reported. A Ruyi-led consortium’s equity contribution for its USD 2.37bn Lycra Company acquisition closed in January was part-funded by a Credit Suisse-arranged USD 400m, low-teens-coupon-plus-equity-kicker three-year mezz facility. In addition, members of the consortium raised USD 150m, nearly 20% junior mezz from a Chinese institution’s offshore arm.
Debtwire estimates that Ruyi has CNY 29.35bn pro forma debt as of 18 June, after accounting for a new EUR 465m due-2024 credit facility at SMCP closed on 9 May. The new facility was used in part to refinance a EUR 110m due-2022 credit facility and also to redeem early the French retailer’s EUR 180m due-2023 notes.
The company’s debt mostly sits at the following entities:

● Ruyi: CNY 12.64bn, or 45.5% of total group debt as of end-1Q19, including CNY 6.2bn onshore bonds (44.5% of total debt in 2018). The unlisted entity held 55.2% of the group’s total asset and 39.9% (CNY 3.34bn) of the group’s cash as of 1Q19. Debtwire reported on 9 May that unrestricted cash at the parent level was at least CNY 2bn.
● Prime Bloom Holdings: The BVI-incorporated offshore financing vehicle through which Ruyi issued the USD 300m due-July 2022s as well as the USD 345m due– December 2019s. Both of the notes are guaranteed by the onshore parent company.
● SCMP: CNY 2.49bn (EUR 320m) debt as of end-2018, which is 8.9% of total group debt. That includes EUR 100m senior secured floating rate notes due-November 2022 and EUR 180m, 5.88% secured notes due May-2023.
● Ruyi additionally reported CNY 2.01bn external guarantees as of end-December.
Corporate Governance:
Related parties transactions: In October 2017, Ruyi sold three subsidiaries to parent company Beijing Ruyi Fashion Investment Holding Co, according to the April 2019 onshore bond OC. The company didn’t disclose how much it received for the subsidiaries, but Dagong Global Credit Rating stated in a June 2018 rating report that the amount was CNY 1.925bn.
The three subsidiaries were 50.69% owned dyed fabrics manufacturer Jining Ruyi Printing and Dyeing, wholly owned home textile manufacturer Jining Ruyi Home Textile and 79.66% owned cotton yarn manufacturer Chongqing Sanxia Technology Textile. Ruyi stated in the onshore bond OC that these subsidiaries were disposed due to their high manufacturing costs. The company's financial statements don’t demonstrate an improvement in cost efficiency since the sale. Ruyi’s yarn and fabrics segment revenue declined by 31.4% in 2018, and gross profit margins actually declined to 10.6% from 11.2% in 2017 (2016 margins were 10.7%).
The Dagong rating report stated Ruyi disposed the facilities because they were outdated. That hasn’t stopped Ruyi from transacting with them post the disposal. In 2018, these three units purchased CNY 2.27bn goods or services from Ruyi and sold CNY 1.36bn of goods or services back,
resulting in a net purchase from Ruyi of CNY 909m.
In addition, related parties including the three subsidiaries purchased CNY 4.46bn of goods and services from Ruyi last year and sold CNY 1.85bn back, its 2018 annual report shows.
Capital spending: Ruyi’s CNY 2.96bn capital expenditures in 2018 was elevated compared to 2016 and 2017 due in large part to the CNY 1.2bn purchase in 4Q18 of the office building from ICBC.
The group provides only limited disclosure on it capex breakdown but it seem that a disproportionate amount is on its struggling non-apparel businesses.
SMCP and Renown, whose standalone gross profit equated to 77% of Ruyi’s gross profit, reported capex of CNY 414m and CNY 165m for their most recent receptive full financial years(5) equivalent to only about 20% of consolidated capex.
Ruyi, in its April 2019 bond OC, states that it is developing industrial parks and factories to upgrade and expand its production capacity and that this project is expected to be completed in 2019.
The rationale for this investment is questionable given that the bulk of Ruyi’s cash flows now come from its ownership of overseas brands and that its other businesses, including yarn, fabrics and textile raw material trading generate razor thin margins and likely contribute only minimal EBITDA.
Shareholding Disclosures: As Debtwire first reported in July 2017, Ruyi was touting a 26% stake held by Yinchuan Tonglian Capital Investment Operation even though the government-owned investment vehicle disclosed at the time that it disposed of the stake in 2016.
In response to the Debtwire report, the company clarified that it hadn’t previously been made aware of the disposal because the stake had been transferred to another vehicle owned by the Yinchuan government, which also took back from Ruyi stakes in two financial units in early 2017 without notifying the company.
Yinchuan State-owned Assets Supervision & Administration Commission’s (SASAC) Yinchuan Tonglian Capital Investment Operation gained its exposure in Ruyi in 2015 by buying preference shares for CNY 2bn entitling the holder to a 26% equity stake in the company.
Ruyi’s April 2019 onshore bond OC discloses that Tonglian’s stake was transferred in August 2017 to fellow Yinchuan SASAC entity Yinchuan Financial Holding.

According to this capital contribution breakdown, Ruyi holds about 12.5% stake in Lycra.
Bagir Group Ltd (Nov-17) 16.5 53.70% Pending
The deal was extended to 30 May 19 as Ruyi failed to make the remaining USD 13.2m payment by end-2018, the previous agreed completion date, citing pending approval from the Chinese government. Bagir (BAGR LON) is a Israel based designer and manufacturer of tailored fashion that primarily operates in Europe and the United States.
