New Projects and Updates In August 2011, Zain and Motorola Mobility launched Motorola XOOM in Jordon, through distributor Haidar Murad Group (HMG). In July 2011, Zain Group accepted the non-binding agreement from Kingdom Holding Co. and Bahrain Telecommunications Co. in respect of the proposed acquisition by the consortium of its 25% stake in Zain KSA. During June 2011, Zain received the final payment of USD 700 million from the sale of its African assets to India's Bharti Airtel Ltd. Although the payment will strengthen the company s financial position, it must be noted that the amount (USD 700 million) was calculated as profits in the financial statements of the second quarter of 2010 and, therefore, will not have any impact on the current quarter results. Risks and Concerns to Valuation: As a multi-country operator, Zain is exposed to political and regulatory regimes in different countries and is vulnerable to foreign currency fluctuations as well. Valuation Methodology: We have used the DCF valuation method to arrive at the fair value of Zain, as explained below: Assumptions: (i) Risk free Rate (Rf) of 3.05%, equivalent to 12-months average yield on a 10-year US T-bill; (ii) Levered Beta of 1.7; (iii) Terminal growth rate of 2.0%. Based on the above and using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), we have arrived at a Cost of Equity of 12.23% and a WACC of 11.00%.

To increase its operational capacity, Zain has adopted the latest standard in mobile telephony and has achieved data transmission speeds of 150 mbps during LTE (Long-Term Evolution) trials. It is the first telecom company to start work on LTE trials in Kuwait and has already conducted pre-launch tests in some of its other markets, including Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Despite the competitive landscape, the group s customer base grew ~16% (5.4 million new customers) within one year, driven by technology upgrades and innovative product launches across its operations. Zain s Kuwaiti operations reached 99.6% and 1,763 network sites. Furthermore, to expand its post-paid client base in Kuwait, the operator introduced new post-paid data packages for voice and data. In May 2011, Zain launched its USSD service in Kuwait, representing a qualitative leap in mobile phone marketing. Going forward, Zain intends to continue to invest in providing value-added services domestically. Iraq is the group s largest revenue contributor, at 33.3%. During 1H11, Zain s subscriber base in Iraq grew 5%, reaching a milestone 12.3 million customers, while revenues soared 5.1% YoY to KWD 219.6 million. Net profit from Iraq increased 11.2% YoY to KWD 41.8 million.. The telco s strategy is to tap fresh sources of funds to finance its infrastructure spending in Iraq. However, Zain is likely to face stiff competition in northern Iraq, as France Telecom-Orange and its partner Agility recently announced plans to buy a 44% stake in Korek Telecom. Moreover, the Iraqi government plans to award the fourth mobile phone operator licence, which could pressure the company s average revenue per user (ARPU). Zain continues to be the largest mobile operator in Sudan with a market share of 57% and customer base growing 24% YoY, serving 11.4 million customers. However, revenues declined 6.9% YoY to KWD 154.3 million in 1H11, hit by stiff pricing pressure. Zain is expanding its 3G voice and data services in Sudan and is investing in the fibre and core networks, to meet the expected triple digit growth in the upcoming years. Revenues from Jordan declined 6.7% to KWD 66.9 million as the telco s market share contracted to 37%, impacted by strong competition and the pressure of lower voice prices. In addition, Zain Jordan has launched several new promotions and services including Mish Tabee3i, Minutes Plus and the Al Zarqa line. Further, Zain Jordan has won the prestigious Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award for its E-mal mobile financial services platform. Zain has signed a landmark agreement with Apple to launch the iphone 4 in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain. Zain Saudi Arabia has signed a refinancing agreement for a USD 600 million Murabaha loan with a syndicate of regional banks to fund future growth plans. Going forward, the company expects to expand its customer base to 52 million subscribers by 2014, from over 39.6 million customers, as of June 2011, and guides total revenue of USD 6.3 billion and net profit of USD 2.1 billion by 2014. Given the strong balance sheet, following the disposal of its African assets, Zain is poised for future acquisitions. Recently, Zain received the balance USD 700 million from the sale of its African assets (with the exception of Morocco and Sudan) to India s Bharti Airtel Ltd. last year. However, as this amount reflected in the second-quarter 2010 financial statement, it will not have any impact on the current quarter results. Excluding the gain from discontinued operation in 1H10, net profit decreased 8.7% to KWD 140.2 million during 1H11, as compared to KWD 153.5 million in 1H10. Factoring in 1H11 results, we have revised our net profit estimate lower to KWD 401 million. We had updated Zain on July 03, 2011 with a NEUTRAL recommendation (target price of KWD 1.020 and upside of 2.0%). The stock is trading at a P/E multiple of 9.19x and 8.61x on 2011E and 2012E earnings, and at a P/BV multiple of 1.71x and 1.54x on 2011E and 2012E BVPS, respectively. Meanwhile, the stock has dropped 6.9% since our last update as compared to a 0.8% gain posted by the Kuwait Stock Exchange Index. Factoring in 1H11 results, we have our revised price target to KWD 1.010, implying a 6.3% upside over the closing price of KWD 0.950 (as on September 07, 2011). We are reiterating our earlier NEUTRAL rating on the stock.
