to appeal to the increasing affluent and savvy Chinese consumers.
Finally, management’s focus on tier one and two cities points to a
more targeted expansion strategy. We view this development
positively and expect capital utilization to improve moving forward.

Cash War Chest Offers Financial Independence and
Supports New Ventures
OSIM’s strong positioning and exposure to growth markets have
made it highly cash generative; it has amassed S$184.9m of cash as
of 3Q12. OSIM’s management has indicated its intent to hold
sufficient cash to avoid a replay of the credit crunch experienced in
2008. Excess cash will also provide the firepower to grow OSIM’s
peripheral businesses; management has indicated that it would focus
its resources on TWG Tea. We expect aggressive expansion in North
Asia given OSIM’s effective 74% stake and we are optimistic of TWG
Tea’s unique premium retail high-tea experience

Compelling Valuation
Our 3-stage DCF valuation results in a 12-month price target of
S$2.18, representing a 22.5% upside. We believe the market has
undervalued OSIM’s expansion strategy in China. In addition, the
penetration rate of massage chairs in North Asia (ex China) and
South Asia is also well-poised to rise, which will provide further top-
line growth for OSIM. Our target price implies a forward P/E of 13x,
lower than its 5-year historical average of 19x. With 2013 EPS growth
of 16%, we yield a PEG ratio of less than 1. At current market
valuation, OSIM is indeed a hidden gem for investors.

                                OSIM International reported record revenue of S$553.7m for FY11, and a
                                corresponding net profit of S$69.9m. Its Asian focus is evident; 94% of its
                                revenue is derived from Asia. OSIM’s management has also indicated that
                                OSIM constitutes 75% of the Group’s revenue for the first 9 months of FY12.

OSIM Unparalleled in Massage Chair Business
                                We think OSIM International’s stellar share price performance is driven by its
                                peerless positioning in the marketplace. Evaluating OSIM and its key
                                competitors on the basis of their marketing and product innovation (two
                                categories we think are key success factors), OSIM emerges as the best-
                                positioned firm given its unique blend of strong product line-up supported by

                                More importantly, we expect OSIM to remain unchallenged as we anticipate
                                significant difficulties for both clusters of competitors to bridge the differences.

                                Successful Product Launches & Awards Support Our View
                                OSIM’s superior R&D capability is manifested through its constant innovation;
                                OSIM is often the first among its peers to employ new breakthrough
                                technology within its products.

                                These innovative products have also received international recognition; OSIM
                                has won the Red Dot Design Award in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2011 for its
                                products, which include uSpace, a massage chair, and uVenus, the world’s

                                and gives us confidence in its R&D capabilities.

                                Close Ties with Daito and CTO Sustains R&D Superiority
                                We expect OSIM to preserve its R&D superiority as it maintains amicable
                                relationships with its strategic Japanese R&D partner, Daito and Chief
                                Technology Officer, Mr Tan Kia Tong.

                                OSIM maintains a close and long-standing relationship with its Japanese joint
                                venture partner, Daito Electric Machine Industry, which is responsible for both
                                R&D and manufacturing of OSIM’s products. OSIM currently maintains a 30%
                                stake in the JV entity, DT-OSIM Healthcare Appliances (Suzhou). Most
                                recently, OSIM acquired a 30% interest in Suzhou Daitec, yet another JV with
                                Daito. We view this positively and we expect the relationship to remain strong.

                                OSIM Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Mr Tan Kia Tong, has spearheaded
                                OSIM’s relentless ground-breaking R&D since he joined in 2002. Not
                                coincidentally, since 2003, OSIM launched many of its “World’s first” products
                                as seen in Exhibit 3.

                                2. OSIM’s Strong Marketing Efforts Support Product Line;
                                Japanese Peers Lack Expertise
                                Beyond a strong product offering, OSIM’s effective marketing campaigns
                                have positioned OSIM as the “go-to” brand for lifestyle products. A Frost and
                                Sullivan survey conducted in Hong Kong in 2010 revealed that 75% of all
                                respondents cited OSIM as the “top-of-the-mind” brand. Our check on
                                Facebook has also indicated that OSIM has gained the most traction; its Asia
                                Pacific pages have garnered 80% of the total “Likes” among the three brands.

                                     Though not representative of OSIM’s standing in all markets, we view this
                                     positively as OSIM clearly possesses expertise in establishing itself in
                                     markets beyond Singapore. This has also translated into financial success;
                                     engagement of Andy Lau to endorse uDivine proved to be a huge success.
                                     In the quarter following the launch of uDivine i.e. 1Q11, OSIM’s revenue grew
                                     12.3% QoQ, 15.7% YoY, and Andy Lau is now synonymous with uDivine.

                                     In contrast, Panasonic and Sanyo are manufacturers which utilize dealers to
                                     distribute their products, and hence marketing is often ceded to the dealers.
                                     Given that Panasonic and Sanyo have utilized such distribution method for all
                                     its products, we believe they lack in-house expertise for marketing and
                                     retailing. Ceding this control, both Sanyo and Panasonic will have lower
                                     control over marketing campaigns and customer relationships management.

                                     Though Panasonic and Sanyo possess comparable or even superior
                                     technology, their inability to support their products with commensurate
                                     marketing efforts diminishes their technological superiority.

                                     OSIM’s Unique Positioning Enhances Pricing Power
                                     OSIM’s unique positioning translates into increasing pricing power; our pricing
                                     benchmark reveals that OSIM’s price for its leg massager has steadily
                                     increased, while its competitors have reduced their prices. We view this
                                     positively given that uPhoria’s sales have been brisk, i.e. the higher prices did
                                     not impact demand for OSIM’s products.

                                     As for massage chairs, we see that OSIM has largely maintained its prices
                                     while OTO and OGAWA have reduced their prices, which provides further
                                     support for our view. (Refer to Appendix K)

Market Underprices OSIM’s Growth Potential
                                      The recent slower than expected store expansion of OSIM (2 stores for 9M12
                                      vs. 50 as guided) might have raised concerns about OSIM’s growth potential.
                                      In particular, we think concerns might have been raised regarding the slowing
                                      Chinese retail market.

                                      On the contrary, we are bullish on China’s massage chair growth outlook. We
                                      considered the affordability of massage chairs to forecast future penetration;
                                      our correlation analysis of % of households with >US$25k income and
                                      massage chair penetration reveals a positive relationship. Significant growth
                                      is expected from China as its % of households with >US$25k income is slated
                                      to grow at a CAGR of 38.3% till 2017. OSIM’s significantly lower market share
                                      also provides more growth headroom. We coin this, the income effect.

                                      preferences i.e. preference effect can create new demand for healthcare
                                      products as consumers become increasingly savvy and knowledgeable.

                                      We substantiate our view by including Japan in our regression analysis.
                                      Though it has similar affluence levels as Singapore, its penetration is much
                                      higher. This, we think, is a reflection of higher consumer awareness towards
                                      healthcare products, and we anticipate other Asian countries to eventually
                                      catch onto similar trends. This will in turn enhance the relationship between
                                      income and penetration rate. Consumer healthcare spending in all five Asian
                                      markets is also expected to grow. Hence, we are cautiously optimistic of the
                                      potential upside that can arise from increasing consumer awareness towards
                                      healthcare products.

                               Large & Growing Chinese Market Underpins OSIM’s Growth
                               OSIM is currently the largest player in China with a market share of ~15%.
                               We view OSIM’s market leadership position positively as we are bullish on the
                               Chinese massage chair market and we believe OSIM is best-positioned to
                               succeed. Three key insights give us confidence:

                                    •     China’s market for massage chairs is large and show strong
                                          untapped potential and high growth moving forward
                                    •     OSIM is poised to benefit from the large and growing market given its
                                          premium positioning and international brand recognition
                                    •     Management’s recent strategy of store rationalization i.e. to focus on
                                          key tier 1 and 2 cities is in the right direction

fast-growing market
                               According to a report published by Hejun Consulting, the Chinese massage
                               chair industry is also expected to grow at ~20% CAGR from now till 2015E.
                               Frost & Sullivan has also projected the Chinese health and wellness
                               equipment industry to grow at 18.3% annually till 2015E to reach S$5.7bn.

                               With a large market and strong growth, we estimate OSIM’s current revenue
                               derived from China as a % of total potential market in China to be 4%. This is
                               in contrast to the 15% market share that OSIM currently has. Assuming that
                               OSIM maintains its market share as the market grows, we expect to see
                               revenue upside of ~73% above current levels in China.

                               consumers become more wealthy and savvy. Across all its competitors, OSIM
                               has the highest price points in China, cementing its premium positioning.

International brand                                            A McKinsey study on the Chinese luxury market indicates that “internationally
ranks high on luxury                                           well-known brand” have in recent times emerged as the top three factors for
purchase                                                       luxury purchases across all surveyed categories (See Exhibit 9). OSIM’s
considerations                                                 global presence in 30 countries and 74% market share in Hong Kong
favoring OSIM                                                  (gateway to China) clearly signals its international status. Coupled with its
                                                               luxurious positioning, we believe OSIM can gain strong traction among
                                                               Chinese consumers.

                                                               enjoying high brand awareness alongside its Japanese peers. However,
                                                               OSIM’s market share far supersedes that of its Japanese competitors. We
                                                               think their brand awareness might have stemmed from other products instead
                                                               of their massage chairs and hence the significantly lower market share.

                               Against a strong macro backdrop, OSIM’s well-aligned brand positioning and
                               strategic store rationalization plan will allow it to best capitalize on China’s
                               growth. We are thus bullish on OSIM’s growth prospects in China.

Cash War Chest Offers Financial Independence
and Supports New Ventures
                               OSIM’s massage chair business is now the de-facto cash cow for the Group.
                               Though there has been little net change in stores, profit before tax has
                               averaged S$10m or higher every quarter since 1Q10. With relatively muted
                               capital expenditure requirements and strong profits, OSIM’s massage chair
                               business generates strong free cash flows for the firm.

                               Not surprisingly, OSIM has amassed S$184.9m cash as of 3Q12, and we
                               think this war chest allows OSIM to achieve two objectives: 1) to attain
                               financial independence, and 2) finance new promising business ventures

                               OSIM Seeks Financial Independence to Avoid Replay of
                               Financial Crisis
                               OSIM’s business performance nosedived during the financial crisis, with its
                               revenue falling 13% YoY and OSIM reported a net loss of S$98.0m (including
                               an impairment loss of S$77.3m). OSIM had also S$32.7m of debt that was
                               due in 2009. The poor macro outlook meant that OSIM had no access to debt
                               markets, and was compelled to turn to the equity market for capital.

                               In January 2009, OSIM announced a 2-for-9 rights issue at S$0.055 per
                               share, a 31% discount to the closing price of S$0.08 prior to the
                               announcement. We think the rights issue was launched at such steep
                               discount to compel shareholders to subscribe and it raised S$6.5m for OSIM.

                                                                                                                                                                     9

                               Though OSIM’s financials have now turned around, the management has
                               indicated its intent to hold sufficient cash to avoid a replay of the credit crunch,
                               which compelled it to raise equity capital under such unfavourable conditions.
                               We concur with the management, and think that such financial independence
                               would augment confidence in the financial health of OSIM.

                               TWG Tea Shows Growth Potential; Offers Value Accretive
                               Investment Opportunity
                               OSIM’s management has recently indicated its intent to scale back on
                               RichLife and GNC, and to channel resources towards expanding TWG Tea.
                               OSIM acquired 35% stake in TWG Tea in 2011, and concurrently set up TWG
                               Tea North Asia joint venture with TWG Tea, of which OSIM holds a controlling
                               60% stake (74% effective stake). Given its controlling stake in the North Asia
                               business, OSIM’s management has signalled its intent to roll out 5 – 8 stores
                               in each of the four countries within the region over the next 3 to 5 years.

                               TWG Tea is a luxury tea boutique and salon where its stores are situated in
                               upmarket malls across Asia. Bringing the hotel high-tea concept to retail mall
                               is first of its kind, and is currently an untapped market. Our visits to its stores
                               in Hong Kong, International Financial Centre, and Singapore, Marina Bay
                               Sands convinced us of TWG Tea’s success; stores were full throughout the
                               day, and also cater to tourists with its pre-packaged premium tea.

                               We view TWG Tea’s business highly favourably given its unique positioning
                               and think North Asia offers substantial growth opportunities. To substantiate
                               our view, we considered cities where TWG Tea can penetrate. Given its
                               premium positioning, we benchmarked TWG Tea’s expansion opportunities
                               against presence of luxury malls in the four regions, and came up with a list of
                               cities that can accommodate TWG Tea stores. Based on our estimates, there
                               are 22 cities that TWG Tea can potentially penetrate.

                               Using GDP as an indicator, we estimated these 22 cities to collectively
                               support 62 TWG Tea stores, which is ~280% higher than the management’s
                               expansion plan. Hence, we remain bullish on the prospects of TWG Tea, and
                               believe that it will effectively utilize the capital that OSIM generates.

Attractive Valuation; TP: S$2.18
DCF fair value of              We believe the market has not fully priced in OSIM’s growth prospects in
S$2.18 implies 22.5%           China, where demand continues to be fuelled by both income and preference
upside                         effects. We foresee similar effects in North Asia (ex China) and South Asia,
                               albeit at a slower rate compared to China. For the GNC/RichLife business, we
                               estimate growth rates to follow healthcare spending patterns expected of the
                               respective geographical regions. We value OSIM using a 3-stage DCF model
                               with terminal growth of 1.5% and WACC of 13.8%. On this basis, we arrive at
                               a fair value of S$2.18, implying an upside of 22.5%. Our price target also
                               implies a forward P/E of 13x (lower than 5-year historical average of 19x).
                               With 16% 2013 EPS growth rate, we yield a PEG ratio below 1 for both
                               trading and forward P/E. These show us that OSIM is indeed a compelling
                               investment at current market valuation.
                                                                                                                 10

                  Risks to Our BUY Call
                                              Key risks to our investment thesis for OSIM are: 1. Slowdown in the Chinese
                                              economy, 2. Corporate governance concerns arising from poor disclosure,
                                              and 3. Weaker than expected demand for new products

                                              Slowdown in the Chinese Economy
                                              OSIM generates ~21% of its revenue from China. Given that OSIM’s products
                                              are discretionary in nature, a slowdown in China can potentially heighten
                                              earnings downside risk. However, OSIM caters largely to the luxury market
                                              and we think these consumers’ purchasing power is unlikely to be significantly
                                              impacted by an economic slowdown. Recent data has also indicated that the
                                              Chinese economy has bottomed out and is once again picking up.

                                              Corporate Governance Concerns Arising from Poor
                                              Disclosure
                                              OSIM’s poor financial and operating performance disclosure has raised
                                              concerns regarding OSIM’s corporate governance. Though we concede that
                                              there is room for improvement, it is reassuring that ~76% of Ron Sim’s wealth
                                              stems from his direct stake in OSIM when calculated against his estimated
                                              net worth of US$435m (Forbes, July 2012). Furthermore, Ron Sim has an
                                              additional ~24% deemed stake in OSIM, which increases his stake in the firm.
                                              Hence, we believe that his interests are aligned with that of the shareholders.

                                              Weaker than expected Demand for New Products
                                              OSIM’s strong growth trajectory has largely been driven by its strong product
                                              offering, most notably the uDivine that was launched in 2010. Such success
                                              also raises the bar for OSIM; we think it is essential for OSIM to continue
                                              anticipating consumers’ preferences in order to lead its peers in product
                                              innovation. Nonetheless, we take comfort from the fact that OSIM maintains
                                              strong relationships with its JV partner and CTO.
                                                                                                                                                                                        11

Appendix B: Method for Calculation of China’s
Market Size and OSIM’s Share of Market
 Overview of Methodology
 To better understand the size of China’s market potential and assess the headroom for growth of
 OSIM in China, we embark on a three stage process to derive three key outcomes: (a) China’s market
 potential, (b) OSIM’s share of the pie and (c) potential headroom for growth.

 The three stage process is outlined as follows:
 1) Estimating the size/ annual spend of China’s massage chair market by 2015E (based on key 8
     cities by GDP)
 2) OSIM’s current share of potential pie
 3) Competitor’s current share of potential pie

 Key Formulae:
 Untapped market (2015E) = Total potential market spend (2015E) – OSIM’s share of pie (2012) –
 Competitors share of pie (2012)

 Step 1: Estimating the size/ annual spend of China’s massage chair market
 In deriving a city breakdown of annual spend on massage chairs for China, we rely on a key formulae:

 Size of City Spend (2015E) = CP x WHH x AHHS

 CP: City Penetration (Derived from ~GDP per capita by 2015E) x China’s Working Population
 Households
 WHH: Working Household/ China’s Working Population Households
 AHHS: Annual Household Spend (if within population who can afford massage chairs – based on
 proxy from Hong Kong)

 Variable 1: CP (City Penetration)

 Referring to the breakdown of GDP per capita according to cities by China Statistical Yearly, we relied
 on IMF China’s GDP growth rate forecast of 8.2% (2013E), 8.5% (2014E), and 8.5% (2015E) and
 conservatively adopted an ~8% growth rate across different cities. Looking at the 2015E snapshot
 GDP per capita of the 8 key cities we match these levels with peer countries on the later stage
 massage chair market cycle and approximate the relevant penetration rates by 2015E.

 Ns: Number of OSIM stores within the City (based on Dianping.com)
 ARPS: Average revenue per store (derived based two separate methods)

 Variable 1: Ns (Number of OSIM stores within the City)
 Dianping.com is one of the most popular sites for review of retail, F&B and consumer related goods.
 Using reviews provide us with the number of OSIM stores in each city coupled with their location and
 even how the store front looks like. Relying on this informal method has provided us with greater view
 into OSIM’s store count in each city for the 8 key cities.

 Variable 2: ARPS (Average revenue per store)
 Though management has no disclosure on OSIM’s ARPS in China specifically, they have given
 indication that current sales per store remain low as compared to the other markets. We have sought
 to derive ARPS via two different methodologies.

 Method 1
 Understanding from Hejun Consulting Group that OSIM China’s revenue is ~250 mil RMB, we
 approximate OSIM sales in China to have hit ~339 mil RMB by 2012. This is derived from a growth in
 massage chair quantity 10.5% (2011) and 12.9% (2012). , coupled with a growth in inflation at rates of
 an average 4.21% (based on IMF for past two years). These growth rates in quantity and inflation give
 us an ARPS of ~S$250,000 in 2012.

 Method 2
 Furthermore, we took an average of A class stores and B class stores of RMB 170m and RM 90m
 respectively. This gives an average of ~S$260,000 per store which is in line with method 1.

 We have employed the statistic in method 1 for conservatism purposes.

 Step 3: Competitor’s current share of pie
 Management has projected that current market share in China remains low (20 to 30%). Based on
 Hejun Consulting Group, we derive OSIM’s market share of 14.5% that is approximated to hold
 constant in 2012. Competitors occupy the rest of the current pie.

 Conclusion
 The total Chinese market/ annual spend by 2015E for the key 8 cities will avail S$894m. With OSIM
 maintaining share of pie, this will constitute a high level of growth for OSIM China.

Appendix D: OSIM’s Strategic Store Locations
 Beijing’s OSIM stores locality

 Most OSIM stores in Beijing are located in the around the CBD and along the ring roads which are the
 traditional urban or suburban markets with established demand.

                                                                                                   19

 Shanghai’s OSIM stores locality

 OSIM has large amount of stores in the Puxi area where most locals reside with a small cluster at Wu
 Jiao Chang area (along metro line 10), a prominent suburban market with 4 large retail developments
 and an upcoming office cluster with hospitality development slated in 2014.

 Strong store position within malls (based on primary due diligence)

 Based on our store visits in Shanghai, we note that OSIM places its outlets in areas of high footfalls
 surrounded by lifestyle brands. There are few massage chair competitors in the vicinity and Andy Lau
 is featured prominently as the celebrity endorsement figure for OSIM appealing to the Chinese market.

Appendix E: China Health and Wellness
Equipment Projections

 According to Frost and Sullivan, China health and wellness equipment market is expected to grow
 strongly in line with the growth in luxury market. By 2015E, the market would have had RMB
 28.7billion in annual spend.
