Healthy Q3
Yansab’s Q3 net income of SAR864.8mn (+29% q-o-q) closely met our SAR872.7mn estimate. However, the bottom line was significantly ahead of the consensus estimate. We believe higher sales volume driven by stock refilling activities coupled with a rise in product prices boosted the earnings. The company’s gross and operating profits also came in line with our forecasts. We wait for the detailed financials for further analysis. For the moment, we stay Neutral on the stock with a target price of SAR64.2 per share.

Top line numbers yet to be released: Yansab has not yet reported Q3 revenue. In view of the in-line performance, we expect actual revenue to be in line with our forecast of SAR2.73bn (consensus: SAR2.5bn).
Gross and operating profits met our forecasts: Yansab’s gross profit of SAR1.03bn (up 27.3% q-o-q and 74.7% y-o-y) met our estimate of SAR1.01bn. Considering the match, we believe the plants operated at assumed utilization rates. The company’s operating profit of SAR957.2mn was also in line with our SAR953.7mn forecast, though it exceeded the consensus (SAR814mn).
Net profit match our expectations: Yansab’s reported Q3 net profit of SAR864.8mn was in line with our estimate, whereas, it beat the consensus estimate of SAR762.3mn by about 13%. The company attributed the +98.5% y-o-y growth in net profit to lower interest outgoings and higher prices.
Valuation and Conclusion: Traditionally, Q3 has been stock refilling season and this was reflected in Yansab’s higher sales volumes. Additionally, higher product prices also contributed to robust profit growth. Yansab’s stock has generated over 40% returns YTD, while gaining 53.2% over the last 12 months. We await detailed results before changing our estimates. For now, we remain Neutral on the stock with a target price of SAR64.2 per share.

Revenue not yet announced: Saudi Cement is yet to announce its quarterly revenue. We had estimated a Q3 revenue of SAR488mn assuming 93% capacity utilization, however, it seems that the company’s utilization was lower at about 90% during Q3.
Gross & Operating profits: The company reported gross and operating profits of SAR260mn and SAR238mn respectively for Q3, implying a y-o-y growth of 9.2% and 8.7%.
Net profit: Saudi Cement reported a quarterly net profit of SAR229mn, a 9.6% y-o-y increase over the same period last year.
Conclusion: Overall, Saudi cement reported a good set of results with all profit lines increasing by 8-10% on a y-o-y basis mainly attributed to higher sales volumes. However, the company’s performance was weaker on a sequential basis, due to slowdown in construction activity during Ramadan and summer seasons. We also believe that the current Saudisation drive and scrutiny of illegal workers have also created a shortage of labor in the construction and real estate sector. Nevertheless, we see this slowdown more as a short term phenomenon, and expect the demand to pick up from Q4 onwards. We maintain our Overweight on the stock with a price target of SAR118 per share.

Explanation of Al Rajhi Capital’s rating system
Al Rajhi Capital uses a three-tier rating system based on absolute upside or downside potential for all stocks under its coverage except financial stocks and those few other companies not compliant with Islamic Shariah law: "Overweight": Our target price is more than 15% above the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 6-9 month time horizon. "Neutral": We expect the share price to settle at a level between 5% below the current share price and 15% above the current share price on a 6-9 month time horizon. "Underweight": Our target price is more than 5% below the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 6-9 month time horizon.
2.
Definitions
"Time horizon": Our analysts make recommendations on a 6-9 month time horizon. In other words, they expect a given stock to reach their target price within that time. "Fair value": We estimate fair value per share for every stock we cover. This is normally based on widely accepted methods appropriate to the stock or sector under consideration, e.g. DCF (discounted cash flow) or SoTP (sum of the parts) analysis. "Target price": This may be identical to estimated fair value per share, but is not necessarily the same. There may be very good reasons why a share price is unlikely to reach fair value within our time horizon. In such a case we set a target price which differs from estimated fair value per share, and explain our reasons for doing so. Please note that the achievement of any price target may be impeded by general market and economic trends and other external factors, or if a company’s profits or operating performance exceed or fall short of our expectations.

Explanation of Al Rajhi Capital’s rating system
Al Rajhi Capital uses a three-tier rating system based on absolute upside or downside potential for all stocks under its coverage except financial stocks and those few other companies not compliant with Islamic Shariah law: "Overweight": Our target price is more than 15% above the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 6-9 month time horizon. "Neutral": We expect the share price to settle at a level between 5% below the current share price and 15% above the current share price on a 6-9 month time horizon. "Underweight": Our target price is more than 5% below the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 6-9 month time horizon.

Definitions
"Time horizon": Our analysts make recommendations on a 6-9 month time horizon. In other words, they expect a given stock to reach their target price within that time. "Fair value": We estimate fair value per share for every stock we cover. This is normally based on widely accepted methods appropriate to the stock or sector under consideration, e.g. DCF (discounted cash flow) or SoTP (sum of the parts) analysis. "Target price": This may be identical to estimated fair value per share, but is not necessarily the same. There may be very good reasons why a share price is unlikely to reach fair value within our time horizon. In such a case we set a target price which differs from estimated fair value per share, and explain our reasons for doing so. Please note that the achievement of any price target may be impeded by general market and economic trends and other external factors, or if a company’s profits or operating performance exceed or fall short of our expectations.
