2 April 1, 2015 Infrastructure Spending to Moderate; Neutral View The start of 2015 witnessed slight repercussions on the broader TASI index following two salary bonus. This had a direct impact on Saudi equities more positively, but wiped nearly 10% in the recent sell-off and TASI reaching 8,779 after peaking to 9,691 during 1Q2015. After a lull phase of oil price volatility over 4Q2014, these factors guided the direction of equity markets during 1Q2015 and an after-effect of the same were felt on TASI Building Material and Construction Index (TBMCI), though not hampered much with 1Q2015 returns of 6.3% versus TASI at 5.3%. KSA has been epicenter of construction boom in entire MENA region since 2005 with its construction sector carrying large significance, denoted by its 10% contribution to GDP. Hence, KSA government expects much of the economic diversification to be achieved through its spending on infrastructure projects. The same is reflected in its growth of 10% Y/Y in contract awards to SAR 221 billion in However, the prominence could gloom over the short term due to ongoing oil price volatility as oil reacts to the declining global demand. The major cause of concern is the large downward spread in oil price, an average of US$ 55/bbl (Brent) during 1Q2015 versus fiscal breakeven of US$ 81/bbl for 2015 which adds to a mounting deficit, but KSA has enough reserves to tackle such deficit. We expect KSA might take a pause in spending and evident with its decline in awards in 4Q2014 amid its shift in spending mix mainly focusing on social and much necessitated projects. Hence expect, lower spending on projects which adds less value to country s diversification and job creation. Our outlook is neutral on the sector for 2015 until we see sustainability in oil prices but recent reforms such as land tax bill and labour supply agreements are a boost over the medium to long term. The land tax bill could boost new real estate developments aimed to make housing affordable for citizen. These are likely to create demand for building materials over the medium to long term benefitting companies under our coverage. Additionally, KSA plans to enter agreements with South Asian countries for supply of cheap labour nearing 2 million foreign workers over the next 3-4 years should ease labour issues for contractors despite ongoing labour crackdown. Hence concerns are expected to be short-lived for KSA construction sector. We revise our target prices but continue to recommend a Buy on Saudi Ceramics Company (SCC) and Bawan Company (Bawan), while we recommend a Sell on United Wire Factories (Aslak) and Saudi Arabian Amiantit Co (Amiantit) and a Hold for National Company for Glass Industries (Zoujaj). We maintained our recommendation except for Zoujaj and Aslak; wherein we downgrade Zoujaj to Hold and Aslak to Sell.

3 Investment Outlook Saudi Ceramics Company (SCC):Realization under stress We maintain our Buy recommendation as widening scope for improvement in KSA s housing market is expected, especially in Riyadh. Additionally, the government s stance on its spending program amid its reforms through land tax and labor supply continues to support our outlook for 2015, albeit on a gradual note. With SCC targeting for volume driven growth conceding its realization, we revise our revenue estimates accordingly. Despite such adjustments, we believe SCC to continue its timely expansion of its tile capacity to 68 million m 2 by 2017 though delay in Red bricks segment is expected; hence project 4% revenue CAGR through EBITDA growth of 5% CAGR is driven by higher operating leverage but leads to thin expansion of +30 bps in margins to reach 28% by Net income growth of 6% CAGR is expected and reach SAR 375 million by With such downward revision in estimates, we revise our target price to SAR 140 from earlier SAR 151. SCC trades at 2015E P/E of 11.7x versus MENA peers at 13.4x denoting an attractive valuation, recommend Buy.

However, we expect some relief from electrical segment due to government spending plans in the electricity sector to the tune of SAR 20 billion. Hence, we lower our revenue outlook for and revise our projections to 6% CAGR to SAR 3.2 billion by The moderation in commodity prices has given some comfort on costs but margins remain under pressure on competition, a case witnessed in 4Q14 results. Table 3: Bawan-Key Estimates Summary (Fig in SAR Mln except mentioned) Revenue 2,448 2,791 2,861 3,071 3,211 Operating EBITDA Investing (94) (118) (114) (92) (100) Net Profit Financing 8 (62) (155) (179) (221) EPS Ratios' DPS ROAA 8.9% 8.9% 8.6% 8.8% 9.2% Balance Sheet ROAE 21.8% 23.2% 21.7% 20.6% 20.7% Currrent Assets 1,262 1,404 1,308 1,381 1,447 Margins Non Current Assets EBITDA Margins 11.3% 9.6% 9.1% 8.9% 9.0% Total Assets 1,877 2,087 2,121 2,234 2,324 Net Margins 6.9% 6.3% 6.3% 6.3% 6.5% Current Liabilities 981 1,130 1,096 1,147 1,167 Valuation Non Current Liabilities P / E 14.6x 13.9x 13.6x 12.7x 11.8x Shareholders Equity ,043 P / B 1.0x 0.9x 0.9x 0.8x 0.8x Total Liabilities & SE 1,877 2,087 2,121 2,234 2,324 EV/EBITDA 11.5x 11.8x 12.3x 11.6x 11.0x 2
4 We expect EBITDA growth of 6% CAGR through 2017 and margins to be flat at 9%. Net income of SAR 209 million is expected by 2017, growth of 8% CAGR. Such revised assumptions take target price to SAR 71, but continue to recommend Buy due to large valuation upside. 2015E P/E of 13.6x versus Aslak P/E of 16.6x and TASI P/E of 15.4x is cheaper to index and peers, hence justified; recommend Buy. United Wire Factories Company (Aslak)-Topline pressured as demand weakens Large exposure to steel and iron ore commodities, where prices have fallen significantly since 1H14 resulted in bleak expectations on volume growth and realization. Hence subdued revenue growth of 2% CAGR is expected and reach SAR 972 million by Realization continues to be under pressure as selling prices fall on weakening global demand was a tough year for Aslak and expect 2015 to be challenging, hence cut our topline estimates. Demand is likely to flow sporadically as contractor destock inventories due to price volatility, though project flows boost demand but not realization. EBITDA and net margins are expected to decline over the next three years and average 11% and 9% by EPS set to grow at 2% CAGR through 2017 from earlier 5%. We downgrade to Sell and cut our 12-month target price to SAR 32 on its bearish outlook and expensive valuation at 2015E P/E of 16.6x versus Bawan P/E at 13.6x is unjustified.

With KSA being a strong consumer driven story, bottling segment is expected to gather pace in demand especially for beverages containers, hence maintain revenue outlook for at a CAGR of 6%. Table 5: Zoujaj-Key Estimates Summary (Fig in SAR Mln except mentioned) Revenue Operatign EBITDA Investing 5 (35) (15) (15) (15) Net Profit Financing (40) 46 (48) (52) (54) EPS Ratios' DPS ROAA 7.0% 8.9% 8.0% 8.1% 8.3% Balance Sheet ROAE 7.6% 10.0% 9.1% 9.1% 9.3% Currrent Assets Margins Non Current Assets EBITDA Margins 35.1% 32.0% 31.3% 32.1% 33.3% Total Assets Net Margins 44.1% 62.0% 57.6% 56.8% 57.0% Current Liabilities Valuation Non Current Liabilities P / E 26.1x 18.9x 18.7x 17.9x 16.7x Shareholders Equity P / B 2.0x 1.9x 1.7x 1.6x 1.6x Total Liabilities & SE EV/EBITDA 32.0x 35.8x 33.7x 30.9x 27.9x 3
5 We believe the new capacity is expected to place Zoujaj on an advantageous position and cater to the spurring demand for consumer bottling in KSA. While we expect associates in the float glass to perform better owing to surge in demand from UAE and KSA contractors as large projects are nearing completion. We raise our EPS estimates following strong 4Q14 results with Zoujaj expected to register a CAGR of 6% through Hence, maintain our target price at SAR 42 as scope for any upward revision is limited, and revise to Hold on valuation concerns. The stock has outperformed the index since our Buy rating but current valuation premiumis unjustified with a P/E of 18.7x for 2015E and believe the positives are already priced-in leaving little room for further upside. Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company (Amiantit): Revenue scale back to continue KSA governments spending on utilities projects could trigger a new wave of demand but expected to benefit Amiantit partially due to rising local competition. Further, a delay in deconsolidation initiatives from overseas subsidiaries may hamper revenue growth; hence moderate our revenue outlook for With strong competition, we expect Amiantit to register a muted 1% CAGR in revenue through Net margins are expected to improve as Amiantit starts focusing on high margin contracts and expect margins of 10% for , which remains healthy. Overall EPS growth of 6% is expected after having a dismal performance in 2014, with earnings dropping by 26% Y/Y. Such lull performance resulted in lack of any dividend payments for 2014 adding to the concern, hence maintain our Sell rating and 12-month target price of SAR Amiantit is currently trading at 2015E P/E of 16.8x, which remains expensive versus TASI P/E of 15.4x.

We expect SCC and Bawan to have a moderate performance with flat EPS growth for 1Q2015E.

6 Earnings in 4Q2014 stood at SAR 158 million compared to SAR 267 million in 4Q2013 (-30% Q/Q and -41% Y/Y) after a depressing performance from Arabian Pipes, SIDC and Saudi Cables which reported losses. We believe 1Q2015 for the sector is positive as budget announcement has brought large positive stride to the economy as well as to the construction market. However project execution may be gradual hence do not expect immediate upsurge in contracts flows. We expect combined 1Q2015 topline and earnings to decline by 2% for the companies under our coverage. Over the year, the combined earnings of TBMCI declined by 14% to reach SAR 957 million in 2014 compared to SAR 1,108 million in Conclusion In our view, the Saudi building materials stocks have not participated in the market recovery and trailed TASI recovery from its lows of 8,057. The sector trades at TTM median P/E of 15.7x, which is lower to TASI P/E of 17.8x. We believe this opportunity should be capitalized as large valuation gaps still persist. As suggested in our last Preview note, we believe the sector is prone to witness some gloom over the short term but continues to be a long term story as KSA remains the largest construction market in MENA and GCC. Our preferred list includes SCC, Bawan and Zoujaj, while we maintain our bearish view on Amiantit and Aslak. Our positive stance on the sector continues and expect 2015 to display a reasonable performance.
