9-Jul 9-Aug 9-Sep 9-Oct 9-Nov 9-Dec 9-Jan 9-Feb 9-Mar ` Saudi Airlines Catering Company SACC Stronger growth expected We re-iterate our BUY rating and raise our target price to SAR 101.4 per share on Saudi Airlines Catering Company (SACC, 6004, CATERING AB), implying an upside potential of 11%. We revised our growth forecasts mainly on further fleet expansion by Saudi Airlines, the impact of which was partially off-set by our reduced margin expectations. SACC reached the target price assigned in our initiation coverage last year (previous recommendation: BUY, TP: SAR 84.8, SFC report July 2012). The stock generated total returns of 35% since our initiation in July 2012. BUY with TP of SAR 101.4 per share: Our TP implies a P/E 13 of 14.9x a discount of 22% to global peers but broadly at par to the local peers (based on exchange categorization). EV/EBITDA 13 implies a multiple of 12.7x for SACC a premium of 28% to global comparatives and 13% to the local ones. Tax adjusting the global EV/EBITDA multiple (25-35% tax rate vs 8% for SACC), the like-for-like premium would be much lower. With a superior expected ROE of 46% and dividend yield of 5.5% this year, totally unleveraged balance sheet, current net cash per share of SAR12.5 and an average free cash flow yield of 9% - we continue to view SACC as a solid investment. Saudi Airlines fleet expansion increased by 71 planes: We see higher growth outlook on the back of the growing Saudi Airlines order book of planes, now implying a fleet size of 199 by 2017 compared to 128 in our old forecasts (2016). Saudi fleet forecast is now 55% higher in year five which inevitably is a strong positive for SACC, the exclusive supplier of Saudi Airlines. Apple to apple, 2016 fleet size is now 37% higher, up to 175 planes from 128. The largest fleet additions are due in 2015-17. Fleet expansion impact on forecasts partially off-set by margin cut: Compared to our old forecasts we raise revenue CAGR to 13.5% (Old: 8.1%), EBITDA to 13.2% (Old: 10.7%), EPS to 14.1% (Old: 11.1%). Based on 2012 results, where EBITDA margins were higher YoY but nevertheless 105bps lower than we anticipated, we cut our EBITDA margin expectations going forward thus partially off-setting the fleet expansion impact. While SACC is keen to stress their cost plus pricing agreements, the growing proportion of revenues from the lower margin (~7%) airline equipment business is a key factor behind the overall retreat. We note that this business is focused on Saudia and comes as a relationship based add-on rather than a strategic focus by SACC, consequently it is viewed in absolute terms and as an EPS bonus. The relationship is the strategy here, not the airline equipment business. EPS (as reported) seen at SAR 6.82/share in 2013, 15% YoY growth: We expect SACC to achieve an EPS (as reported) of SAR 6.82/share this year, slightly lower than we had anticipated in our old forecasts. However, with the bulk of new fleet expansion due in 2015-2017, our long-term EPS expectations are higher. Expecting dividend yield of 5.5%: SACC s 2012 dividend yield was 4.8%. Which compares favorably on the Tadawul (Average 3.5%) and to the few close listed peers available globally (Average 3%).

Valuation boosted by more Saudia expansion We see higher growth outlook on the back of the growing Saudi Airlines order book of planes, which is now 55% higher in year five compared to our old forecasts a strong positive for SACC, the exclusive supplier of Saudi Airlines. Although our revised forecasts are now higher, they have been significantly moderated by a cut in margin expectations on the back of 2012 s 105bps lower than expected EBITDA margin. Consequently, we see CAGRs during next five years for EBITDA at 13.2% (old: 10.7%) and EPS (as reported) at 14.1% (old: 11.1%). We do not expect a major spike in capex/sales, especially keeping in mind the existing spare capacity at SACC s existing facilities. As a result, we see the free cash flow yield averaging 9% over the next five years a very high yield by any standards. ROE is also expected to stay above the 45%-level, one of the highest rates on Tadawul and 2.2x peer market cap weighted average (2.8x based on median, see tables under P/E valuation). As a result, we reiterate our BUY recommendation on SACC with a higher TP of SAR 101.4, implying an upside to the last close of 11.1%. The stock is currently trading at a P/E 13 of 14.5x and EV/EBITDA 13 of 11.3x broadly in line with local peers.

Bull Case Base Case Bear Case Maintain BUY rating Overall, we find SACC shares attractive at current levels; upside potential of 11.1% Sources: Bloomberg; analysis We derived our target price by using the weighted Average approach and three valuation methods including; 1) Discounted Cash Flow (DCF); 2) P/E 13 based peer valuation; and 3) EV/EBITDA 13 based valuation. We assigned higher weight to the DCF approach, as we believe it is the method that best accounts for the primary leg of expansion (2015-2017). Valuation summary of SACC Fair Value Weights DCF Valuation SAR 104.3 50% EV/EBITDA SAR 84.0 25% P/E Multiple SAR 112.9 25% Weighted Average Fair Value SAR 101.4 Upside/(Downside) from current market price % 11.1% Sources: analysis Page 4

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Our DCF model is based on a five-year explicit forecast period until 2017E. We arrived at a WACC of 11.8% for SACC. In terms of terminal growth, we applied a 2.0% rate to estimate the terminal value. Our terminal growth rate assumption is on the conservative side, especially given Saudia s massive capacity expansion plans which extend into 2020 (230 planes vs 199 in 2017). Our DCF approach yields a fair value of SAR 104.3/share.

However, if SACC manages to contain cost in coming years through improved operational efficiency, margins are set to expand. This could positively affect SACC s earnings estimates and therefore our valuation. Totally unleveraged: SACC is debt free. This provides significant potential for RoE expansion in the coming years. Moreover, unleveraged balance sheet and comfortable cash position also leave sufficient room for undertaking inorganic expansion. Both cases provide additional room for shareholders value creation. Downside Adverse changes in SACC s agreements with Saudia might hurt earnings: SACC generates majority of its revenues from Saudia under airline catering services and sky sales services agreements which are due for renewal on 29 January 2015. Any unfavorable changes in the terms and conditions (such as additional discounts to Saudia) would result in weaker than expected margins for SACC. However, we do not forsee any major changes in the forseeable future Weaker-than-expected growth in passengers: Any geopolitical event and weaker-than-expected growth in the global economy could have an adverse impact on the airlines industry, thus denting SACC s revenues and margins.

Revision in forecasts The rise in the number of religious visitors to Umrah and Hajj is being boosted by the government s continuous investment in visitor capacity at the religious sites and remains a key driver for air passenger growth in the Kingdom. Note that Saudi Arabia maintains annual visitor/visa number caps for each country, due to the overwhelming demand and comparatively limited capacity. The rapidly expanding economy, increasing domestic spending and rising per capita income are also important factors behind the positive outlook for passenger growth. As per IATA s recently published data, air traffic in Saudi Arabia is expected to increase at a CAGR of 7% until 2016E. Saudia estimates the total number of air passengers to double by the end of 2020. To meet this demand Saudia is planning to increase its fleet size from 103 in 2012 to 199 in 2017, and 230 in 2020. Apple to apple, 2016 (year five in old forecasts) fleet size is now 37% higher, up to 175 planes from 128. The largest fleet additions are due in 2015-17, where the new Saudia planning suggests an average of 42% increase annually compared to figures provided in July 2012.

All in all EBITDA margins increased by some 130bps YoY but were 105bps lower than we had anticipated. Consequently, we have moderated our margin expectations going forward especially amidst growing impact of the low margin airline equipment business (GPM of ~7%). Page 8

However, if we adjust for one-time expenses, SACC s profits grew 21.2% YoY and were therefore in line with our estimate of SAR 510mn for 2012. Reported net profit was knocked down by a SAR 22.8mn write-off in 4Q 2012 on a building, the ownership of which was transferred to the General Authority of Civil Aviation. GACA recently changed the terms for SACC on its leased land plot, which was on a 20 year contract that expired in late 2012. The new contract includes a clause giving GACA the right to terminate the lease contract at any point in time without compensation 1. As a result, management believes that as the future benefit is doubtful, it has decided to write-off the carrying value of SAR 22.8mn. Our raised top-line and EBITDA expectation produce an EPS CAGR of 14.1% compared to our old forecasts. The major EPS impact is towards the end of the projection period, when most of the plane additions are expected to materialize.

Capex no spike in sight There are no major new capex plans ahead and, according to the management, most of the growth can be met with minimal tweaks and additions to existing capacity. This is more or less confirmed by our high-level analysis, system spare capacity is around 42%, meaning it can absorb up to 73% growth from current levels. In comparison, our total meal growth projection is 69% in 2017 compared to estimated 2012 meals. Note that SACC has also developed a freeze & store capacity, which means it can pre-cook and store meals during off-peak season.
