12-Month Target Price SAR 65
We update our estimates and our outlook for Yanbu Cement Company (YCC) for 2015-2019 due to transfer of coverage. We cut earlier estimates slightly on the anticipation of an unhealthy competitive environment between producers as inventories and pricing pressure mounts. We believe that demand is more correlated to conservative government spending plan. As a result we expect lower realization and a decline in growth rate for YCC with realization decreasing by-7.5% Y/Y for 2015. Revenues for 2015-17E are expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% to touch SAR 1.58 billion in 2017, while earnings are expected to grow at 2% CAGR during the same period. With such cut in estimates valuations appear to be attractive with 2016E P/E of 5.9x which is lower than the sector’s P/E of 3..1x and cheaper versus TASI P/E of 33.3x. We base our valuation on Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and derive a target price of SAR 65, which suggests an upside of 95.8%. Maintain Buy. Advantageous location YCC is strategically located in the western region, Yanbu City. Its proximity to demand centers in Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah projects gives it an advantage over other competitors. Despite the competition from regional counterparts, Yanbu maintained market share in the sector at 11.6%. Accumulated inventory increased +9% YTD, medium term concern We also believe that once construction spending gains pace, it will lead to lower pressure on inventories. As per the latest monthly statistics, YCC inventory has reached 3.3 million tons which is 5..8% of the company’s production capacity. Our estimates show that between 20152.37, YCC’s inventory is expected to deplete at a CAGR of -6.5%. Moreover, the likelihood of lifting the ban on export is a key catalyst to tackle issues with inventory balances and gain growth on realization. Price pressure squeezing margins Pressure on YCC top line is expected to have an impact over gross margin and operating margins. We expect operating margin to stand at 93.9% in 2019 compared to 92.3% in 2014. EBITDA margins are expected at 12.3% compared to 19.8% during the same period. On the other hand, net profit margins are expected at 9.% compared to 93.9% in 2014. Attractive valuation and good yields After using two methods, the DCF and EV/EBITDA, we arrived at our target price at SAR 19.00. Our estimates indicate that a stable dividend yield of 9.2% with a payout ratio of 84 % and DPS of SAR 4.00 for 2015E, to be attractive compared to competitors. We maintain Buy.

Yanbu Cement Company Transfer of Coverage
Transfer of Coverage We transfer coverage of YCC with a Buy rating and target price of SAR 19.00 from SAR 78.00 earlier. This report highlights the performance of the cement sector as well as our outlook for Yanbu Cement Company and our estimate of the company's expected results for the fourth quarter of this year.
Sector Outlook With nearly 16 cement companies operating in the cement space and a combined annual production capacity of 62.2 million tons, Saudi cement sector is the largest one in GCC. Saudi cement producers are geographically dispersed across different provinces and categorically take advantage of its proximity to client location for ease of delivery and compressing cash costs. With a majority of them listed in the Saudi stock market (Tadawul), the sector offers wider array of choices to investors in bottom-up selection. We take a closer look at how the cement sector has shaped over the last few years and include our outlook for 2016-17. Looking at the key trends that drive growth, we observed that the increase in cement demand is correlated to the growing infrastructure projects planned in the country. This is unpretentiously backed by the government’s keen interests to develop infrastructure in the country which started over a decade ago. Saudi Arabia saw its economy expanding through its planned infrastructure spending since 2...’s. However, the start of the oil slide from 3Q2014 has put some doubts on its pace as the Kingdom is expected to slow its large scale infrastructure spending plans. With oil prices retreating over the last 4-5 quarters reaching under US$40/bbl (Brent) and large upside not seen over the short term, concerns emerge on its spending plans affecting the construction sector; which otherwise had joyous ride with the construction boom. In light of such bleak expectations cement sector is poised to witness lower growth rate altering demand-supply scenario for 2016-17.
Growth trajectory to be limited With such implications and keeping in view such long term consistent demand for cement in the country, producers expanded production capacities since 2007. As a result, the sector recorded growth of 11% during 2009-12. However, the Nitaqat program put a halt to such growth as scarcity in labor on construction sector has resulted in number of projects being stalled and resulted in a large drop in demand. Despite such issues, demand picked up as labor situation improved. The sector recorded volume growth rate of 6% selling 56.6 million tons from 53.5 million tons in 2013. We believe growth rates over the last two years should have been better, had the projects not been stalled. Table 1: Sector's Production And Sales Volumes (mln ton) 2009

However, the government’s move to a lower spending cycle has led to a fall in cement demand since start of the year with growth expected to be at +3% for 2015E to 58.5 million tons. From our forecast in Table3, we believe that sector’s sales will face slight sluggishness, though +2% growth is achievable in 2016E recording 59.7 million tons. However, a rebound is achievable over 2016 and 2017 recording 59.7 and 61 million tons respectively.

Yanbu Cement Company Transfer of Coverage
Consistent growth in production Such voluminous growth in the past has resulted in cement production reporting stellar growth during 2008-12. However recent stats proved that Saudi Arabia recorded reasonable growth during 2014. The key reason for limited upside in production is the inability to run its new capacity with subsidized fuel, while lowering demand has added to concerns affecting utilization rates and increasing cash costs. In light of such an oversupply situation, we expect modest growth rates in production with +4% Y/Y for 2015E to reach 60 million tons and a CAGR of 2% for 2015-17E which could be even higher once new capacities rolls out with Aramco allocating cheap fuel.
Inventory balances mounting With large inventories of 23.5 million tons currently, Saudi cement sector is witnessing challenges with pricing pressure. The labor crisis in 2013 resulted in high inventory pressure following weaker cement demand thus creating a supply demand imbalance in the sector. As a result, clinker inventory reached 21.5 million tons, an increase of +46% compared to the inventory level in 2013 at 14.7 million tons. However in 2009-2012, cement companies continued to deplete their inventory balances at rates ranging between 7%-25%. Table 2: Sector Inventory level (mln ton) 2009

Our estimates for the sector’s inventory in 2.39E show a growth of +9% Y/Y to reach 23.5 million tons. In 2016 and 2017, we expect cement companies to start depleting their inventory by -5% and -8% Y/Y to arrive to 22.4 million tons and 20.5 million tons respectively. We are optimistic on government revoking the cement export ban providing some relief while positive impact of additional construction resulting from the implementation of fees on white lands should also aid growth in sector.
Yanbu positioned advantageously Overall YCC is positioned reasonably well while comparing the performance of cement companies. Yanbu’s sales currently accounts for 11.4% of the sector enabling it to occupy the fourth place among sector companies listed on the Saudi stock market (Tadawul). However, the second highest inventory in the sector though negative over the mediumterm, revoking export ban helps to fasten the process of exports due to its proximity to MENA markets and its accessibility to ports.

Revenue growth to slowdown Slower growth in revenue is expected as lower realization continues to put pressure across producers and not indifferent with Yanbu. With large price discounts and onsite delivery costs, net realization could take a toll, hence adjust our earlier revenue estimates to 2.4% CAGR for 2015-17. Sales volumes are expected to touch 6.7 million tons by 2017E and grow by +2.3% over the next two years. A notable decline of -7% in realization during 9M2015 continues to be medium term concern signifying the added pressure on topline coupled with marginal growth in volumes.

Cash costs are expected to elevate In 2015-2017, we believe margin pressure is imminent as falling pricing power could add up cash costs with gross profit margin expected to average 54.3%. However, some stability is expected post 2016 as cost of sales is stable while the large pressure on realization has effected net profit margins since the start of this year. We believe net profit is expected to decline owing to the overall cost pressure, hence tweak our earlier estimates for 2015-17. Ex h ibit 3: Gross Profit (SAR mln ) an d Marg in s (%) 54.8%

Yanbu Cement Company Transfer of Coverage Following such revisions, margins are expected to decline by 220 bps for 2015-17 and take earnings to SAR 776 million by 2017E at a CAGR of 2%. We expect Yanbu’s earnings to recover from 2017E as there will be pullback in demand and recovery in realization.
Decline in earnings but good payout We estimate YCC’s payout ratio for 2.39-17E at an average of 83% as it portrayed consistency in delivering dividends. DPS of SAR 4.00 is expected for 2015E and expect stability in the coming years. Yanbu has delivered superior performance in adding value to shareholders with ROE of 23.6% higher than the sector average of 19.8%. Return on assets of 18.7% is better compared to the sector average of 15.2%. With an attractive capital structure and lower debt profile, YCC is expected to continue with sustainable growth in free cash flows and help in better growth versus peers.

4Q2015 Preview We believe Yanbu is expected to show some improvement unlike the last quarter as impact of Ramadan and Haj holidays has resulted in lower earnings growth in 3Q2015, a seasonality trend widely acceptable in cement sector. We expect to see an improvement in 4Q2015 with sales volumes of 1.4 million tons (+4% Q/Q). However for 4Q2015, we expect net income of SAR 155 million for 4Q2015E and revenues of SAR 319 million.

Yanbu Cement Company Transfer of Coverage
Valuation In this report, we tested two valuation methods being DCF and EV/EBITDA multiple to arrive at YCC’s fair value. We prefer DCF valuation due to its consistent cash flows.
#1 DCF fair value of SAR 07.46 We used DCF model for the period 2017-2019, assuming a terminal growth rate of 3.0% and risk free rate of 3.7%. We have derived cost of equity at 8.5%, while we assume that cost of debt of 5.0% to calculate weighted average cost of capital of 8.5%. Table 5: DCF Valuation Assumptions Risk Free Rate

The key risks would be a concentrated supply from producers to the western region which could alter price and supply imbalances for producers in Western region. The capacity glut in the entire KSA cement space could further lead to large price discounts among producers affecting realization. This could have a volatile impact on our forecasts if prices continues to fall, while upside risk is inherent upon governments stance of revoking the export ban.
#2 EV/EBITDA fair value of SAR 56.01. We used EV/EBITDA multiple to determine the value of the company in order to arrive to our target price. We assume current sector’s EV/ EBITDA multiple of 9.7x as a target multiple for YCC. Applying it to our EBITDA of SAR 887 million, we arrive at a fair value of SAR 56.01.

Relative valuation suggests Yanbu trades cheaper to peers Yanbu though trading cheaper to sector average, can also be compared to Yamama and Southern Cement due to similar size and range by capacity. On a TTM basis, Yanbu is at least 5-10% cheaper to peers with similar capacity especially its comparison with Yamama Cement. Additionally, it offers one of the largest yields in the sector at 9.2%.

Recommendation We transfer coverage on Yanbu Cement Company with a 12-month target price of SAR 19.00 based on DCF. With an upside of 95.8% to our target price, we recommend a Buy. We believe that YCC will face hard times in short to mid-term due to the impact of lower oil prices on Saudi budget, while the long term outlook remains stable.
