• Along with that a lot of effort is being directed towards converting a number of domestic airports to international airports. We believe given the rising number of passengers, the number of inbound/outbound flights are expected to increase, which will result in higher passenger influx. The government is allocating significant funds to improve its airports in-order to support infrastructure development. Along with the expansion of Holy mosque, an ever increasing domestic travel, and strong expatriate population, we believe the higher passenger traffic will invariably end in higher revenue opportunities for Saudi airline catering. Non-airlines business, improving revenue share: Saudi catering prime revenue source is its in flight catering service which in 2015 contributed 72.3% to the total revenues, as compared to average 77.8% contribution during 2010-2015.The non-airlines revenue contribution in 2015 stood at 9.1%, as compared to an average of 5.1% from 2010-2014. Non-airlines revenue has grown at a 6 year CAGR of 65.2%. The company has diversified its business by providing catering services to corporate clients like STC, Maaden, Saudi Railways Organization, SABB .. etc. The company has also entered into the laundry business with an investment of SAR 64mn. High ROE despite debt Free balance sheet: The company’s balance sheet on the back of strong performance has grown from SAR 814mn in 2009 to SAR1.92bn in 2015, out of which 27.6% is cash. Given the minimum capital expenditure requirement for expansion, the company’s requirement for debt financing is low, which has resulted in zero debt for the company. The company has also maintained a healthy ROE of 49%3 despite of zero debt on the balance sheet. Given that the capex requirement for the company is extremely low, we believe that future debt requirements will be small. We expect the company to maintain a ROE of 52%4 , primarily due the strong growth in earnings.

Valuation: Saudi Catering is expected to benefit from the increase in Saudi Airlines fleet, which by 2020 is expected to double. The company has a debt free balance sheet , due to the low capex requirement, and a high percentage of cash. For 2016 we expect Catering to post earnings of SAR 739 mn, depicting a rise of 6%YoY. Revenues in the same time period is expected to stand at SAR 2,446mn (8% YoY). Catering is currently trading at a trailing 12 months PE of 15.4x, against our 2016 forward PE of 11.29x,given the current state of oil prices we believe a slowdown in economic activity is imminent, which can potentially impact Saudi airlines decision to increase its fleet size. Due to which we have considered our “Base” scenario. We believe at current market price, Catering is trading at a discount of 38.7% against our revised 12-month price target of SAR 141.1 we update our recommendation to “Overweight”. Risks to our Valuation: Fleet Expansion: We have based our forecast on an increase in the number of planes by Saudi airlines, which is susceptible to change; any change in plan by Saudi airlines will impact our forecast and price target. Current market Condition: The 12-month price target is based on pure fundamentals of the stock, and does not consider the current market sentiment. We believe the target price based fundamentals is the appropriate reflection of the company.
