Investment Summary (1/2) Almarai and Al Hokair still offer significant upside potential

Let the falcon guide you

ALMARAI

Outperform

 Double-digit revenue growth is expected to continue (CAGR of 12.8% during 2009-14E) on account of an

anticipated rise in dairy consumption and diversification into non-dairy (poultry, bakery and juice)

Fair Value (SAR)

125.5

Upside

12.6%

segments  Vertically integrated business enables Almarai to keep costs low, and creates high barriers to entry thereby

lowering the threat from new entrants, and allowing it to record the highest EBIT margin in its peer group  Upside bias as strong earnings growth potential and better operating performance than its peers outweigh

the relatively expensive valuation – current P/E multiple of 21.6x versus peer group average of 17.6x  Almarai’s EBIT margin (21.3% TTM) and EPS growth (12.1% CAGR, 2010-12) are higher than its peer group

average of 9.5% and 11.2%, respectively

AL HOKAIR Fair Value (SAR) Upside

Outperform

 We expect sales to grow at 13.0% CAGR during FY11-14, higher than the 12.5% during FY06-FY10, driven

by Al Hokair’s expansion initiatives targeting the CUR: Current Year | MKT CAP: Market Capitalization | TTM: Trailing Twelve Months | 1 YR AVG: 1 year average

• We believe Almarai is better placed to take a hit on margins than its rivals, and hence, expect the company to keep its products competitively priced in order to expand its market share • Also, higher feed costs could see operating margin fall from 21.8% in 2009 to 20.4% in 2014

STOCK VALUATION >  Almarai is currently trading at a premium to its peers in terms of current and forward P/E and EV/EBIT multiples  At current P/E of 21.6x and current EV/EBIT of 22.6x, Almarai trades at a premium of 22.5% and 47.5%, respectively, versus a peer group average of 17.6x current P/E and 15.3x current EV/EBIT  In terms of forward multiples, Almarai trades on a 17.9x FY11E P/E and 18.7x FY11E EV/EBIT, a premium of 23.6% and 86.7%, respectively, versus a peer group average of 14.5x FY11E P/E and 10.0x FY11E EV/EBIT

 We believe this premium is justified due to higher EBIT margin (21.3% TTM) and EPS growth (12.1% CAGR 2010-12) compared to peer average of 9.5% and 11.2%, respectively.

• Almarai offers the best exposure to the substantial opportunities in KSA’s retail sector on account of strong revenue growth in existing business lines and diversification into new business lines • Better placed to take a hit on margins compared to competitors, benefiting from its vertically integrated business lines.

Valuation Assumptions 

Gross margins for existing store format expected to rise from 45.7% in FY11 to 46.7% in FY16 • Driven by revenue contribution from Wahba stores, which have higher margins (~50% - 52%), and

Margins

increased efficiency of new stores • However, any dollar depreciation with respect to the Euro could drive up cost of goods, thereby partially negating margin growth 

Gross margins for new store formats are expected to be high for niche style stores (e.g. FIFA) and low for the Street retailing format • FIFA and smaller FIFA stores – 55% gross margin • Street retailing - ~37%-38% gross margin

• Zippy stores – 45% gross margin (In line with existing store formats) 

Rental cost (per sq. mt.) projected to decline 2% in FY12 and remain stable in FY13, due to an oversupply in retail space. Thereafter, we expect rental to grow at 3% per annum, in line with inflation



Total capex of SAR1.1 Bn expected during FY11-16 • Of the total capex, 30% is assumed for expansion and the rest 70% for maintenance

Capex 

We have assumed maintenance capex as percentage of sales to be 4%



Capex on opening of new stores is assumed at 2,800 SAR per sq. mt., growing at 5% per year

• Moreover, the rising popularity of modern retail, a highly fragmented market and rapid urbanization offer ample growth opportunities for large established players in the Kingdom  Market share gains using scale-cost leadership strategy • Despite positive industry fundamentals and a strong position in the MENA food & retail sector, Savola’s top-line is expected to grow at a modest 7% CAGR during 2010-14 • Savola is expected to keep price hikes at a minimum to maintain price leadership. Manufacturing sales growth, hence, should be led by volume expansion and market share gains

• Retail revenue growth should be backed by store expansions and increase in sales per sq. mt. at newly added selling spaces

 Strategic drawback in terms of lower margins compared to global peers

• Lack of vertical integration means reliance on costlier global raw material supplies and margin volatility. Inability to pass this cost to customers has dragged its margins below peers.

 Outlook for the food & retail sector in KSA is promising

• Robust economic growth, a large population base and the resultant rise in household expenditure are fuelling growth in KSA’s food & retail sector. Pilgrimage tourism provides an additional driver to retail sales in KSA (7.7 Mn tourists in 2008, nearly 14 Mn by 2018E)

DCF approach

 Forward P/E multiple of 13.3x is at a premium of 5.1% to its peer group average of 12.6x on the basis of FY11 EPS

Weighted average fair price

35.1

 We believe this premium is unjustified on account of lower FY10-FY12E EPS CAGR of 10.0% compared to the peer group average of 13.7% FY10-FY12E EPS CAGR  Also, Savola’s financial performance in the last few quarters could negatively impact investor sentiment. Over the last 3 quarters, Savola has missed analysts’ consensus net income estimate by 13%-16%

Valuation Assumptions Sales volume

Manufacturing segment



180,000 MT additional sugar production capacity is expected in 2012, due to the commencement of operations at Alexandria Sugar Co. • Production of white sugar from domestically grown sugar beet



Utilization rates should gradually improve, particularly in start-up businesses (e.g. Algeria)

• Market share gains are expected in existing markets by passing on the cost benefit from economies of scale to consumers Selling price 

Double-digit growth in selling price is expected in 2010 • Raw oil prices were up 17% YoY in 2010 and raw sugar prices were up 30% YoY



Lower growth in sugar prices in Egypt compared to the global trend • The Egyptian government provide subsidies on sugar, due to which Savola is forced to sell sugar at competitive prices



Beyond 2010, selling price in the edible oil segment is expected to move in line with inflation (average 4% growth in 2011-14)



Sugar prices are expected to decline 2% in 2011 as a result of:• Global oversupply due to additional production coming on-stream in India and Australia 74

Let the falcon guide you

Valuation Assumptions New stores

Retail segment



30 new stores are expected to be opened during 2011-14, taking the total store count to 194 in 2014



Total selling area is projected to grow at 7.9% CAGR from 405,000 sq. mt. to 600,000 sq. mt. during 2009-14

Sales per store 

We assume new stores take an average 3 years to generate similar sales as that of existing stores • 50% store efficiency in the first year, gradually increasing to 100% by the fourth year • This is because hypermarkets take ~24 months compared to supermarkets (~12 months) to generate similar per sq. mt. sales as that of existing store

Existing stores

Sales per store 

12% growth in sales per store in 2010 • Boosted by a full year of revenues from the 11 Geant stores acquired in Oct 2009. Geant stores acquisition added 82,000 sq. mt. (27% addition over Savola’s selling space in 2008) • Overall, Giant and Geant stores constituted 37% of Savola’s total retail selling space as of 2009



5% per annum growth in sales per store during 2011-14 • Assuming 3% per annum growth in household expenditure and growing share of hypermarkets and supermarkets in overall retail industry 75

Let the falcon guide you

Valuation Assumptions 

Operating margin expected to decline in 2010  Due to reliance on global supplies of raw oil and cane raw sugar, the prices of which have risen 15-30%

Margins

YoY  However, Savola might not pass the entire rise in cost to end customers to gain market share 

Margins are expected to pick up in 2011 driven by improved capacity utilization and maturity of start-up

businesses  Margins in sugar likely to improve as the new plant in Egypt will use cheaper local beet sugar as raw material from 2012  Increased efficiency of the newly added selling space and focus on the hypermarket format which takes up to 2 years to generate similar per sq. mt. sales as that of existing stores



Overall, we forecast total capex of SAR3.7 Bn (3% of total sales) over 2010-2014  Of the total capex, 73% is assumed to be spent on expansion

Capex 

We expect Savola to focus more on consolidating its existing businesses rather than on expansion  30 new stores to be opened in 2011-14 (20% expansion to over 152 stores at the end of 2009)  Capex per sq. mt. for new store – SAR 14,000 in 2011, i.e., a total of SAR621 Mn in 2011



70% of the capex is to be funded through debt 76

• The young population is likely to be more tech-savvy compared to the current working population, and hence, buy more electronic products • With economic recovery, discretionary spending is likely to rise. This, coupled with the anticipated decline in average household size, is a positive sign for increased purchases of discretionary goods such as electronic goods, smart phones and gaming consoles

Jarir trades on a 14.3x FY11E P/E, a premium of 24.1%, versus a peer group average of 11.6x FY11E P/E  We believe the premium to peer group average on forward multiple basis is unjustified as our estimated 2010-12E EPS CAGR of 9.2% is much lower compared to the estimated peer group average of 12.3%  Considering these factors, we believe future earnings growth offers limited upside potential from these levels

• While Jarir's net margin of 13.9% (TTM) is higher than the peer group average (2.8% TTM), the forward EPS growth is much lower • 2010-12E EPS CAGR of 9.2% for Jarir compared to the estimated peer group average of 12.3%  Considering these factors, we believe future earnings growth offers limited upside potential from these levels * We have considered only developed market peers as there are no listed comparable peers for Jarir in GCC and emerging markets.

• Handset sales to be dominated by smart phones, and 3G handsets 

Overall, we assume 3.2% CAGR in sales per sq. ft. during 2010-14 • With economic recovery, discretionary spend should grow • New stores take an average of 2-3 years to generate similar sales per sq. ft. as that of existing stores 94

Let the falcon guide you

Valuation Assumptions 

We have assumed lower gross margin for laptops, smart phones and games consoles • 12-15% for laptops, smart phones and games consoles

Margins

• 25-30% for school supplies and computer accessories 

We expect margins to decline in the next 3 years, but then stabilize • Increasing competitive pressure at the retail level from foreign (e.g. USA’s Office Depot) and local players (e.g. Obeikan, XTra) and growing trend of hypermarkets (e.g. Geant, Carrefour) at the retail level • Sales mix moving towards lower gross margin products



Competitive pressure is expected to be marginally offset by • Stabilization between laptop and netbook sales in the next two years

• Increase in discretionary spending towards higher value goods, driven by economic recovery • Supplier discounts/offers 

Overall, we assume SAR0.5 Bn capex during 2010-14 (SAR97 Mn in 2010) • Of the total capex, 83% is assumed to be spent on expansion while the remaining 17% on maintenance

Capex 

Capex per sq. ft. for new store (owned) – SAR 1,300 in 2010 and new store (leased) – SAR 650 in 2010
