SPCC is a preferred call due to (i) judicious management of its inventory backlog, currently at 16% of its capacity; the lowest among KSA producers (ii) average realization of SAR 241/ton for 2013-14 higher than sector s realization of SAR 234/ton (iii) EBITDA margins of 62% for 2015-18 is above sector average of 56%. Though estimates have been revised by a large notch due to moderate demand in 2015, it is expected to rebound in 2016-18 and the impending fundamentals still persist. SPCC with nearly 7.7 Million Tons (MT) of clinker capacity currently is the second largest producer in KSA with 14% market share and benefits from large economies of scale. We roll forward our DCF assumptions and revise our target price to SAR 115 from SAR 120, maintain Buy. 2015 to be moderate Revenue growth of +4% CAGR is expected during 2015-18 touching SAR 2.2 billion by 2018 on expectations of continued demand in 2016-18, though 2015 to be moderate. The revision stems from anticipated pricing pressure in de-stocking inventories. Cash costs are expected to be at manageable levels as explained by stable margins. With a slight dip in 2015, EPS is expected to touch SAR 7.97 by 2018 with a +4.5% CAGR for 2015-18. SPCC s incremental focus on a volume driven growth model with its newer production lines is an ideal long term strategy. It bodes well in a situation where mid-cap producers in Southern and Western regions adds glut with their newer capacities in target markets. Strategic positioning to key markets The strategic positioning to some of the of the largest demand centers, mainly its proximity to Jazan and Asir carries a lot of significance aiding continued demand. The ongoing mega projects including Najran Airport, Jazan Economic City and network of government hospitals should aid long term cement consumption, except the short term concerns on geo-political situation. Additionally, SPCC s location bordering Yemen and access to Jazan sea port benefits largely in the event government lifting the export ban. Valuation offers opportunity, though yields in mid-range Valuations are justified despite 2015E P/E of 14.3x being above sector P/E of 13.9x. SPCC lowered its payouts during 2014 but forecast similar trends in DPS for 2015E, yielding 5.1%. With sustainable ROE of 34% being the last 5 year average and D/E ratio of 0.1x, SPCC offers an excellent proportion for a yield and value conviction, maintain Buy.

Southern Province Cement Company Changes in Estimates We revise our estimates mainly taking in to account our moderate view for 2015 and also justification for the higher growth in 2016-18. Our earlier view was majorly driven by a rebound in volume and revenue growth for 2015. However, it did not materialize as expected, with SPCC and across the industry over the last two quarters. Accordingly, we adjust our revenue estimates for a moderate growth of +3% Y/Y for 2015 and a higher growth of +4.5% CAGR for 2016-18 considering pricing pressure and slight project delays in Jazan region.

This is mainly driven by absence of any investment income, following SPCC s liquidation of its investment portfolio in 2014. It realized SAR 128 million in 2014 arising from gain on sale of Available for Sale (AFS) investments. We had factored investment income for 2015-18 in our earlier estimates and the discontinuity explains the deviation. Additionally, we forecast interest expense from 2015E onwards as SPCC has raised total debt of SAR 501 million during 2014. Overall these factors led to a downward revision of -14% in EPS for 2015-18. Relative valuation shows SPCC trades at median range to sector on most aspects Before we get in to company specific valuation, our view on relative comparison basis suggests, SPCC could be compared to Saudi Cement due to similar size and range by capacity. SPCC s TTM P/E of 12.9x is relatively cheaper to Saudi Cement s 13.9x, whilst being superior on yield perspective with 6.0% on an annualized basis. Out of the stocks in the KSA cement space, SPCC is relatively cheaper on most aspects. On a replacement cost basis and assuming investments in production lines which adds to 11 MT by 2016-17, EV/ton of SAR 1,283 is cheaper to sector s SAR 1,356.

WACC Southern Province Cement Company Valuation We roll forward and update our models to value SPCC using both absolute and relative valuation approaches by stress testing estimates with the bull-bear-base case scenarios. We prefer DCF valuation amongst the valuation approaches to derive our 2015-end target price. #1: DCF suggest fair value of SAR 115.40 We used DCF valuation due to SPCC s continuity in free cash flow generation. The forecast assumed for 2016-19E used a long-term terminal growth rate of 1% and riskfree rate assumption of 3.9%, which includes a premium for country risk over the 10- year US risk-free rate of 1.9%. We used a 5-year weekly adjusted beta of 0.75 and an equity risk premium of 6.2% to arrive at the Cost of Equity (CoE). We used CoE of 8.6% and Cost of Debt of 4.5% to arrive at a WACC of 8.3%.

The upside risk would be the lifting of cement export ban and allocation of additional fuel to run its new lines. June 03, 2015 3

EV/EBITDA Range (x) P/E Range(x) Southern Province Cement Company #2: Target P/E valuation at SAR 97.88 We valued SPCC using target P/E based method and derived a fair value of SAR 97.88, which is lower than SPCC s current market prices. We derived a target P/E multiple of 14.0x by using a weighting of its long term average, which suggests a valuation nearing current market prices. We believe SPCC has enough room to command higher valuation as 2016-18 rebound is not accounted, hence the preference for DCF.

The target multiple derived a value which is above the current market prices and points to a re-rating. Additionally, it ignores the probable cash generation from investments in new production lines, while the current EV already takes in to account the value of investments. This deemed to be inconsistent as a method in valuing SPCC at current scenario, hence prefer DCF.
