1 Equity Research BTG Pactual Global Research GEA - Grupo Empresarial SectorNote 14 March 2017 Dividends matter when you are a Holding company GEA - average dividend payment should increase by 8% YoY In the following weeks, Nutresa, Grupo Argos and Grupo Sura and their subsidiaries are expected to host their annual general shareholder meetings. Given the nature of Holding companies, its main cash flow stream comes from dividends paid from subsidiaries and the investment portfolios, so in this report we are trying to track how the dividends flow throughout the GEA group. The dividend proposals, subject to approval, imply, on average, an 8% YoY growth and a dividend yield of 2.24%. Grupo Nutresa (Neutral): Dividend yield is expected to reach 2.2% Daniel Guardiola Colombia - BTG Pactual Daniel.Guardiola@btgpactual.com + 57 (1) Alonso Aramburu New York BTG Pactual US Capital LLC alonso.aramburu@btgpactual.com Nutresa s Board is proposing to distribute in 2017 an annual dividend of COP534/share (monthly payments), up 7.2% YoY, which represents a payout ratio of 62.1% (above the last ten-year average of 54.2%) and a dividend yield of 2.24% (L10Y average of 1.52%). The company is expected to receive in 2017e tax-free US$18.2mn in annual dividends from Grupo Sura and Grupo Argos (22% of total dividend proposal), corresponding to 13% of total forecasted 2017 earnings. Grupo Argos (Neutral): Dividends received should expand by 80% YoY in 2017e Grupo Argos Board is proposing to distribute 75.5% of total individual earnings generated in 2016 (COP310/share), equivalent to 60% of expected dividends received (L4Y average of 78.3%), meaning an annual dividend yield of 1.6%. For 2017e, we expect GA s cash dividends received to grow 79.7% YoY on the back of expected fresh dividends from i) Odinsa (div. yield of 5.2% - despite having total equity commitments linked to 4G projects (COP692bn) and a contingency related to the AKF highway (COP230bn)); ii) Celsia (div. yield 2.9%); and iii) Opain (yield of 9.4%, though below the 14% annuity required to fully recover the investment according to our estimates). Last year, GA did not receive cash dividends from these three companies. We expect the cost of having a holding company with SG&A expenses to consume 30% of total dividends received in Grupo Sura (No rating): Management is proposing changes in bylaws The company s Board is proposing i) to modify the preferred dividend share issuance and placement regulation; and ii) to distribute a dividend payment of COP488/share for both share classes either in cash or in kind, implying a dividend yield of 1.3%. Grupo Sura is proposing to eliminate preferred shareholder s voting rights (70% threshold) in the case the company decides to modify the amount of outstanding preferred shares in exchange for i) increasing the minimum preferred div. yield from 0.5% to 1% and ii) offering inspection rights. According to management, this amendment will give the company additional flexibility with respect to its capital structure. In line with this proposal, Sura is offering investors to choose to receive the dividend payment in preferred shares (60-day VWAP with a 4% discount) or in cash. Grupo Sura s leverage is high at close to 5x net debt-to-dividends received, after the acquisition of RSA.
