16 6.0 Forecast: Our Forecast Drivers We considered the following factors in arriving at our 5-year forecasts: Positive Factors: New route to market Long standing reputation and reliability Brand activation to improve market share Negative Factors: Sale of beverage business to Suntory Beverage and Food The weak consumer spending power Rising operational and logistical costs Infrastructure challenges in the operating environment Foreign exchange challenges We estimate a dividend per share of 0.25 Kobo for the FY 2016 (excluding the special dividend) We note that the business of GlaxoSmithKline has not recorded substantial growth in Nigeria in the last four years. A combination of economic and industry related factors are responsible for this. We have not identified a clear strategy that GSK Nigeria will adopt to reinvent its business in the medium term.

19 7.0 Valuation: In arriving at a fair value for the ordinary shares of the company, we used the Discounted Free Cash Flow (DCF) model. We applied a terminal growth rate of 2.79% and used a beta value of 0.70x. We used the yield of 11.97% as our risk free rate, and market premium of 11.15%. Applying the foregoing parameters on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the cost of equity generates 19.78%. Using 1.20bn shares in issue the DCF model generated N12.95 per share, which is our fair value. The current market value of GSK Nigeria share is N20.00, the highest and the lowest closing prices in the last 52 weeks are N44.99 and N20.00 respectively. The fair value for GSK Nigeria is N The forward earnings yield and dividend yield of the company at our fair value are 3.20% and 1.94% respectively. We expect the share price of the company to drop to N This will represent a deprecation of 35.26% from the current market price. This is clearly higher than a 10% discount on the current market price. We therefore place a SELL rating on the shares of at the price of N20.00 as of June 07, Table 15 : Comparable Analysis (N bn) Company GSK Nigeria May & Baker Fidson Turnover (Net Sales) Gross Profit EBIT PBT PAT GP Margin 33.71% 32.89% 53.00% EBIT Margin 3.68% 8.66% 18.47% PBT Margin 3.78% 1.88% 10.21% PAT Margin 3.15% 0.90% 9.07% ROE 7.32% 2.19% 11.77% Net Assets Net Assets Per Share PE Ratio Earnings Yield* 3.60% 6.09% 24.62% *As at June 07, 2016 Source: Company Annual Account 2015 and Analysis 19

Fair value of the stock ranges between -10% and 16.65% of the current market price. SELL Fair value of the stock is > 10% below the current market price. *16.65% is our estimated minimum equity return. It is the combination of our risk free rate and risk premium. Our risk free rate is the average yield on a five-year FGN Bond. We adopted a 5% risk premium and set the risk free rate every quarter. Fair Value: This is the value of the ordinary shares of the company using the valuation method appropriate for the company. It is the intrinsic or true value of the stock based on the fundamentals of the company. The market price may either trade at a premium or discount to the intrinsic value.
