We believe 2015 growth to be moderate as most KSA producers are focusing to rebalance their peaked inventory levels either through production cuts or price discounts but expect 2016-18 to rebound. The moderate view stems from slow growth in industry dispatches at 14% Y/Y, which was a rebound from weak 2014, but at a cost of -5% Y/Y drop in realization. Notably, Yamama s realization dropped to SAR 227/ton in 1Q2015 from SAR 244/ton, average of 2013-14. With such slow pick-up, we revise our estimates downwards but valuations are supportive due to growth in earnings for 2016-18 aiding steady payouts of 81%, followed by zero debt and a relatively large investment book of SAR 1.7 billion. We roll forward our DCF assumptions and revise target price to SAR 62 from SAR 66, an upside of 27%, maintain Buy. Selling price to add pressure We cut our revenue forecasts to +5% CAGR for 2015-18 on pricing concerns with revenue expected to touch SAR 1,479 million by 2018. Volumes are expected to surge and improve post 2016 and reach 6.3 MT by 2018. Realization is expected to be lower for 2015 but favors growth in 2016-18 and to average SAR 242/ton. EBITDA margins are expected to witness pressure and average 62% but still superior to sector average of 56%. We reduce our EPS forecasts to SAR 3.20 in 2015 from earlier SAR 3.85. Additionally, discussions on relocation of the plant are at a crossroad due to issues in land availability. Inventory de-stocking, a medium term concern The dominant positioning of Central province in KSA cement space is noteworthy and Yamama is one of the key beneficiaries through its operations in high demand centers largely due to its proximity. Though it has a market share of 10%, the growing capacity glut and new expansions across KSA in 2016-17, Yamama could witness slight growth constraints. However, our long term view coincides with the positives of government s spending on necessary infrastructure projects. This aids visibility on cement demand over the next 3-4 years, though over the medium term inventory de-stocking is a priority. Valuations appealing and yields stable 2015E P/E of 15.3x is slightly higher to sector P/E of 14.4x, but still justified. Additionally, on a replacement cost basis EV/ton of SAR 1,280 for Yamama is cheaper to sector median of SAR 1,329. The equity story adds value with its attractive yield of 6.1% versus sector yields of 5.4%, hence yield and appreciation drives a strong call for a Buy conviction.

Changes in Estimates We revise our estimates and the revision indicates the slight weakness in 2015 and a rebound in 2016-18, wherein we revise revenue downwards by average of -8% for 2015-18 from earlier estimates to take in to account the fall in realization. The resultant effect of such downward revision is the subsequent impact on margins leading to a deviation in EPS estimates, a large cut of nearly -13% average from earlier estimates.

We used both absolute and relative valuation approaches to value Yamama by stress testing estimates with the bull-bearbase case scenarios. Amongst the valuation approaches, we prefer DCF valuation and derive our 2015-end target price of SAR 62.00. #1: DCF suggest fair value of SAR 62.20 We prefer DCF valuation due to Yamama s steady generation of free cash flows. 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%. Cost of equity (CoE) of 9.6% is assumed as the discount rate for valuation and a beta of 0.9, with risk premium assumed at 6.2% Table 2: DCF Valuation Using Bear-Base-Bull Case Assumptions (SAR Mln) Bear Case Base Case Bull Case 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E Revenue 452,606 458,881 1,157 1,161 1,206 1,246 1,361 1,434 1,479 1,502 1,455 1,532 1,580 1,621 Y/Y growth 1% 0.2% 0.3% 3.9% 3.3% 6.5% 5.4% 3.1% 1.5% 4.1% 5.3% 3.1% 2.6% EBITDA 209,331 202,709 678 693 712 749 840 886 910 908 928 959 982 999 Y/Y growth -3.6% 2.2% 2.8% 5.2% 8.7% 5.4% 2.7% -0.1% 3.9% 3.3% 2.4% 1.7% Net Income 601 617 645 670 738 776 811 827 810 833 869 901 Y/Y growth 1.1% 2.7% 4.6% 3.8% 13.8% 5.1% 4.6% 2.0% 8.3% 2.8% 4.3% 3.7% EPS (SAR) 2.97 3.05 3.19 3.31 3.65 3.83 4.01 4.08 4.00 4.11 4.29 4.45 Y/Y growth 1.1% 2.7% 4.6% 3.8% 13.8% 5.1% 4.6% 2.0% 8.3% 2.8% 4.3% 3.7% Free Cash Flow To Equity (FCFE) 959 948 975 813 1,129 1,158 1,173 938 1,205 1,230 1,245 1,032 PV of FCFE 875 789 740 563 1,030 964 891 649 1,099 1,023 945 715 DCF Metrics Terminal Value 9,402 10,977 11,932 PV of Terminal Value 6,509 7,600 8,261 Sum of PV Of FCFE 2,968 3,533 3,782 Value of The Firm 9,477 11,133 12,042 Add: Net Cash (Net Debt) 1,316 1,463 1,636 Implied Value of Equity 10,793 12,596 13,678 No of Shares Outstanding (Mln) 202.5 202.5 202.5 Fair Value Per Share (SAR) 53.30 62.20 67.55 Source: Riyad Capital May 27, 2015 2

P/E Range(x) Cost of Equity Risks to valuation The probable downside risk would be an immediate relocation of plant from current site to new site which might incur additional costs and have an effect on near term profitability. However, the plant relocation could improve the efficiency of the plant due to new installations, which is expected to save some fuel costs compared to earlier plant which we see as an upside risk to our estimates. Sensitivity analysis on discount rate The terminal growth rate and CoE sensitivity to valuation suggest price range tends to decrease on an average of -2% with an increase of +40 bps in CoE assumptions. The valuation range increases by +1% on +10 bps increase in terminal growth rate.

The target P/E multiple of 14.1x is the 12-month average of Yamama s P/E which suggests comparability to sector average P/E of 14.5x. We prefer DCF method over target P/E method as the P/E trading range ignores the large cash flow streams and investment book quality while it considers the earnings for 2015E.

EV/EBITDA Range (x) #3: Target EV/EBITDA valuation at SAR 44.87 Our assessment using the target EV/EBITDA based method derived a fair value of SAR 44.87. The target EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.0x is the weighted average of its last 5- year, 3-year and 12-month average, with the latter holding the highest weightage. On a historical basis, Yamama traded at a 5-year average of 9.4x, 3-year average of 9.6x and 12-month average of 10.5x, suggesting the weighted average to be apt for selection of target multiples. However, as a valuation method for valuing high free cash flow companies like Yamama, DCF, we maintain our preference of DCF over EV/EBITDA approach as it ignores the advantages of low leverage and limited capex. Additionally, it incorrectly values the future benefit of consistent cash flows.

The valuations between these stocks trades at different bands, with Arabian Cement trading at TTM P/E of 11.8x, Qassim Cement at 15.4x versus Yamama P/E of 14.8x. However as a brief comparison, Yamama P/E of 14.8x trades close to sector median P/E of 14.9x on a TTM basis. We believe, dividend yields are more consistent unlike the two peers, with Yamama s 2015E forward dividend yield of 6.1% is superior and provided an average yield of 6.3% for the last three years.
