demand for housing and a poor response to the off-plan sales launch in Saudi Arabia.

Strong domestic driven housing demand benefits TMG's


Cairo-heavy landbank
TMG owns roughly 50mn sq m in its landbank of which nearly 78% is concentrated
in Cairo, Egypt. Being the commercial hub and the capital of Egypt, Cairo attracts a
significant number of local migrants with nearly 1,000 people moving into the capital
every week according to a UN development report.

middle income segment is unlikely to subside with the urban population estimated to grow at a much faster rate
estimated at 125k units than rural given relatively better employment prospects and lifestyle. Hence, given
continued strong growth in Cairo’s population, we estimate Cairo’s housing stock
deficit to reach 125k for the middle to upper middle income segment by end-2010
with the overall housing shortfall reaching 264k.

Strong sales backlog at EGP24bn (1Q10)


Current sales backlog of EGP24bn provides TMG with high visibility on 3-yr
earnings – the highest within our MENA coverage universe. The tough global
environment in 2009 has had a modest impact on TMG sales, where customer
contract cancellations peaked in 1H09 and currently account for less than 5% of the
total backlog. These have been more than offset by new sales generated in 2H09 and
1Q10. The company generated new sales of EGP1.2bn in 1Q10 and plans to maintain
the overall backlog at EGP25bn for 2010; implying new sales of EGP3bn in 2010,
according to our estimates. TMG plans to further increase its sales backlog to
EGP30bn (net of revenue recognition of units being completed in 2011) by end-
2011; implying new sales of EGP4bn.

Self-funded business model; low gearing


TMG relies largely on a self-funded business model with little upfront funding
requirement to develop city and community complexes. The payment for purchased
land parcels does not entail an initial cash outlay and is typically settled in kind in the
form of residential apartments to the Ministry of Housing (e.g. Madinaty and Al Rehab).
The upfront costs involving development plan and initial infrastructure are funded via
equity or debt, while the overall project construction cost is financed through customer
advances that are typically linked to phased cash outflow. Given the restrictions on
mortgage financing, commercial banks cannot fund off-plan sales directly; thus the self-
funded, off-plan sales model has worked well for TMG. Given this, the company’s
balance sheet is healthy with net debt/equity of 23% as of 31st March 2010 – at the
favorable lower end of the net debt/equity range for its GCC peers.

Strong valuations underpinned by robust underlying


fundamentals
Despite the recent run up, TMG’s In Feb 2009, TMG's stock hit a low of EGP2.37, down 81% from its 2008 peak of
valuations remain attractive with EGP12.51. We believe that this was a combination of 1) general lack of appetite for
the stock trading at 9x 2010E
earnings and at a 34% discount
and risk aversion from equities, where real estate developers among others across the
to 2010E book globe hit their trough valuations and 2) legal proceedings against the former
chairman of TMG (these charges have recently been dropped as per Bloomberg).
However, following better than expected macro numbers, limited default from local
real estate investors driven by limited speculative demand and better than expected
sales and earnings announcements by the company, the stock has seen a sharp
recovery from its mid 2009 lows, where it’s up 44% in 12 months.

Despite this recovery, the stock still trades at a 34% discount to 2010E NAV and 9x
2010E earnings. TMG is by far the only stock within our MENA universe that offers
a 34% discount to 2010E NAV despite the strong underlying demand dynamics of
the Cairo real estate. In Saudi Arabia where underlying demand dynamics are equally
strong and speculative buying remains non-existent, the largest real estate developer

market with equally strong

According to the Riyadh Development Authority, Riyadh needs nearly 18,000 units
Egypt of annual supply over the next 20 years to fill up the housing deficit. With high pent
up demand, Riyadh has been one of the few places where residential prices and rents
have remained stable in the prime residential areas. TMG is a JV partner in Nasamat
Al Riyadh project with a total of 4mn sq in land area (TMG’s share is estimated at
2mn sq m – 50% of the total), where the company plans to launch off-plan sales
during 4Q10. TMG’s share in this project is at 5% of our SOTP value. Apart from
this project, the company owns additional landbank of 2.8mn sq m (TMG’s share is
50% of that) in Jeddah, which will be developed going forward after master
development plans are finalized.

Recurring revenue to account for c. 7% cumulative revenue


TMG’s hotels and resorts TMG currently has 3 operational hotels with 684 room keys through its hotels and
portfolio accounts for 20% of our resorts management subsidiary Arab Company for Hotels and Tourism Investment
combined SOTP with recurring
revenues representing 7% of the
(ICON). The fourth hotel, Nile Hotel with 191 room keys, is due for completion by
consolidated topline 3Q10, while the company plans to raise this to 5,000 room keys in 5 years of which
1,725 room keys are committed and under development. We only take into account
the committed and under development hotel room keys when calculating our DCF
from the hotel and resort portfolio. The company’s hotel and resort portfolio benefits
from reasonable occupancy levels and healthy operating margins given robust visitor
traffic into Egypt annually. The existing portfolio allows TMG to tap the business
and tourism traffic flow particularly into Cairo and Sharm el-Sheikh (Egypt’s key
tourist destination). With three operational hotels and five hotel and resort projects in
the pipeline, the company’s hotels and resorts portfolio accounts for 20% of our
TMG SOTP value. However, with development revenues from Madinaty and Al
Rehab accounting for a sizable proportion of the company’s consolidated revenues,
the contribution from hotels and resorts at the revenue level is c.7% on average
(2010-2012), as per our estimates.

Key downside risks to our rating and PT


Weaker than forecast revenue for planned handovers
The revenue from villa sales is split into two stages, where TMG records revenue
from the land area for underlying villas upon sales generation and contract
reservation, while revenue from the built up area (BUA) for villas as well as
apartments is recorded only upon handover. Hence, if the company generates lower
than expected new villas sales, it could lead to weaker than estimated revenues over
our forecast period. Similarly, revenues from land sales are also recorded upfront,
hence lower than forecast land sales to Mega Developers in any quarter can result in
lower than estimated revenues from this segment.

Poor response and potential delay in launch of off-plan sales in Riyadh


TMG’s share in Nasamat Al Riyadh is 50%, where the project represents 5% of the
company’s combined SOTP on our estimates. We estimate TMG to achieve 5% sales
of the total BUA in Nasamat Al Riyadh when the project is launched in 4Q10. This
assumption is already below the company’s planned launch at 10% BUA of the total
for 2010. However, the downside to our PT could come from poor response from
Saudi investors thus leading to weaker than forecast new sales in the company’s
Saudi project.

Slowdown in residential demand in Cairo


Assuming annual 2% growth in Egypt’s population, we estimate the residential
shortfall in Cairo to reach 264K in 2010. However deterioration in Egypt’s macro
fundamentals driven by continued weakness in global macro fundamentals could
result in reduced investor risk appetite leading to lower demand and limited
affordability for housing.

Madinaty accounts for 62% of our TMG combined SOTP, followed by Al Rehab (1

projects including Madinaty and Al Rehab for their entire construction period. We
also exclude TMG’s land plot in Jeddah (2.8mn sq m), where construction plans have

Key drivers of TMG’s SOTP fair value


We calculate our SOTP using We rate TMG OW with Dec 2010 SOTP based PT of EGP10.70. We do not apply a
base case WACC of 14.8%, discount to our SOTP, as we find Egyptian property market dynamics rather robust

16.5%, after tax cost of debt at

9.6% and target debt to capital of However, we use a high WACC of 14.8% to reflect low affordability levels and high
25% interest & inflation (11.4% as of May 2010) rate environment in the country.

Source: J.P. Morgan estimates

Our WACC is calculated using Egypt's benchmark 1 year Treasury bill rate
(currently at 10.5%) to which we add an equity risk premium of 6%, resulting in our
base cost of equity of 16.5%. We use 12% as our base cost of debt, which reduces to
9.6% after we apply a 20% corporate tax rate. Using a target debt to capital of 25%,
we calculate our base WACC at 14.8%. We use our base cost of WACC to discount
cash flows from TMG’s operational investment properties. However, for properties
under construction, we apply an average WACC of 15.3% and for projects that are
still in the preconstruction stage, we add a further 25bps to our construction stage
WACC to discount potential cash flows.

WACC of 15.5%. This takes our Madinaty Phase 5 and Phase 6 WACC of 15.8%

TMG – Strong valuations with 34% price to NAV discount


TMG – offering a favorable mix vs. its peers
The stock is up 16% YTD and Trading at a 34% discount to NAV (average since 2008) and underpinned by strong
15% relative to the benchmark residential demand fundamentals, TMG makes a compelling buy case when
EGX30 Index. However we
expect momentum to continue,
compared to its regional emerging market peers in our view. The housing demand
with improved upcoming QoQ dynamics within Egyptian real estate are more comparable to Saudi Arabia, India and
earnings through planned Malaysia among other emerging markets, where real estate developers are trading at
handovers and positive close to or at a premium relative to their 2010E NAVs.
response from off-plan sales in
Saudi Arabia
Take, for example, Dar Al Arkan, Saudi Arabia’s largest RE developer by market
cap with similar demand dynamics i.e. residential housing shortfall and under
penetrated mortgage market, trades at an average 5% price to NAV discount.
Similarly, DLF Limited, India’s largest listed developer, is trading at a 66% premium
to its 2010E book. In contrast, while TMG’s UAE peers trade at comparable price to
NAV discounts, we note that the two countries, in our view, differ on the basis of
underlying demand fundamentals.

TMG is up 16% YTD and 15% relative to its Cairo based benchmark EGX30 Index.
In Feb 2009, TMG's stock hit a low of EGP2.37, down 81% from its 2008 peak of
EGP12.51.

Hence, we believe that TMG's 34% price to NAV discount should further narrow
moving forward supported by near-term triggers including upcoming quarterly
results for 2010 on the back of planned handovers in Madinaty, a pick up in sales
(1Q10 new sales recorded at EGP1.2bn) and 4Q10 off-plan sales in Riyadh.

within the MENA region at 5% in 2009. Our regional economist expects the positive
growth trend to continue well into 2010 with an estimated real GDP growth of more
than 5%. Based on these forecasts, we expect Egypt to achieve GDP per capita of
US$ 3,100 in 2010, up from US$2,500 in 2009. Egypt’s manufacturing, Oil&Gas
and agricultural sectors are the key contributors to GDP, accounting for an aggregate
46% and 17%, 15% and 14%, respectively. The Suez Canal revenues are 3% of

expansion challenging mostly from local home buyers with over 60% being cash based purchases, as the
mortgage market remains largely untapped. Given the less structured expansion and
limited infrastructure in Downtown Cairo, the middle, upper middle and high income
segment has been actively moving away from the centre and towards Greater Cairo,
i.e. the western and eastern extensions of Cairo city. Existing stock of housing is
more than 30 years old and development within Downtown Cairo is nearly
impossible given space limitations. Given low affordability levels and the under
penetrated mortgage market, the new developments have been focused largely on the
upper middle and high income customer segment.

Table 7 highlights average annual income and housing affordability levels across
different income segments prevalent in Egypt. According to a study done by
USAID, 2% of the population belonging to the high income segment draws an
average annual income of EGP820K and given the relatively high savings rate of
35% can afford luxury accommodation ranging between EGP2-7.5mn (US$360K-
1.2mn). At the other end of the spectrum is the low income segment representing
51% of the population with average annual income of barely EGP90K (US$16K) and
a savings rate of close to 3%.

Cairo – Residential shortfall to reach 264k


units by end 2010
• We calculate Cairo’s housing deficit at 264k unit based on its 32% share in Egypt’s GDP.
• Of the total deficit, we estimate the housing shortfall for the middle and the upper
middle income segment to reach 125k by 2010.

We calculate Cairo’s residential Deriving Cairo's demand based on its 32% (in 2008 Cairo’s GDP contribution
shortfall using its 32% accounted for 33% of Egypt combined GDP) contribution to Egypt's combined GDP,
contribution to Egypt’s total
GDP
we calculate Cairo housing stock deficit at 264k units for 2010E (see Table 8). We
see strong demand within the middle and upper middle income segment given the
under-leveraged market and growing housing deficit.

As a result, out of the overall housing deficit of 264k units, we forecast a housing
deficit of 125k units within the middle and upper middle income segment in Cairo
and a deficit of 6k units within the high income segment.

Over 550k marriage contracts signed annually; another way to gauge housing demand
According to CAPMAS, over 550k marriage contracts are signed in Egypt annually of which nearly 100k (JLLS estimates)
marriages take place in Cairo alone. While we do not take this into consideration when forecasting annual demand for
housing, it nevertheless strengthens our case for a housing deficit in the country.

Keeping our assumptions conservative, even if we estimate 20% of these married couples look for new housing given low
affordability levels, it still implies demand of nearly 132k units annually. Of this c. 62k represents housing demand in the
middle and upper middle income segment and 3k in the high income segment.

Cairo's rapidly developing suburban communities


Originally designed to accommodate 5mn people, Cairo has now become one of the
most populated cities in the world with over 18mn people and one of highest
densities at c. 34,000 inhabitants/sq km and going as high as 100,000 inhabitants/sq
km in certain areas. Hence, in the wake of geographic and infrastructural limitations,
the government initiated a plan to reduce the growing congestion in Cairo's
downtown and set up the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) in 1979.

Residential prices have been Starting late 2008, the global financial crisis did trigger a correction in Cairo’s high
stable for middle income and upper income housing segment. However, prices within the middle income
housing given under supply,
while prices for high end
segment have remained relatively stable, underpinned by the housing shortfall and
housing segment have come off limited supply albeit limited affordability levels. TMG, which is the largest
by 35-40% in the last 18months developer catering to Cairo’s housing demand within the organized middle and upper
middle income segment, told us that despite demand slowed in 2009, the company
increased average prices by c. 3% and further by 6%YTD.

Contrary to this, Palm Hills Development that has historically been focusing
primarily on the high end market lowered its prices by as much as 40% in 2009 in
order to reach a larger target market in the face of more saturated demand from the
high end segment. However, given that the majority of the property transactions are
cash driven and for owner occupation, the number of contract cancellations (peaked
in 4Q08 and 1Q09) has remained relatively low.

Residential prices vary significantly across different regions in Cairo, where prices
for certain locations in Downtown are still at a premium despite infrastructural and
logistical challenges. For example, residential property in Zamalek and Mohandessin
in Downtown Cairo still trade at a premium relative to properties in some of the new
suburban communities in Cairo’s western and eastern extensions. Within Cairo’s
western extension, 6th of October (30-90 minutes from Downtown Cairo depending
on the flow of traffic) is a popular location for inhabitants relocating out of
Downtown. On the eastern front, New Cairo is home to a large number of working
class (see Table 8, Figure 27 and 28 for details). TMG's mega mixed-used
communities Madinaty (under early stages of construction) and Al Rehab (fully
developed community with a population of c. 120k, a commercial district with 6
banks, 3 local and 3 international schools as well as a large retail area) and Emaar's
projects are all located within New Cairo, while the majority of Palm Hills
Development are located in the western region in 6th of October City and beyond.

Residential rents, like prices, also vary from one location to another. However,
average residential rents are high in Zamalek averaging at EGP750 sq m (US$136/sq
m). Zamalek is located along the narrow strip of River Nile and is the heart of
Downtown. In contrast Nasr City, which is further from the Cairo downtown, offers
one of the lowest residential rents averaging at EGP300/sq m p.a. (US$55/sq m p.a.).

Egypt’s capital, Cairo, serves as the commercial hub, however availability of prime

An estimated 1.5mn sq m of new Grade A office supply in the pipeline is expected to


come on stream over the next 4 years. We expect this to be absorbed with robust FDI
flows and continued inflow of new corporates setting up presence in Cairo. Egypt’s
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows have remained robust despite the global
financial crisis, where it attracted nearly US$8bn in 2009 after a peak of US$13bn in
2007-08. About 41% of the FDI flows in the last 5 yrs have been spent on
establishing new corporates, where Egypt has seen nearly 6k new companies being
set up on average annually in the last 5 years. YTD 3,500 new companies have
already been registered according to the Ministry of Investment.

Cairo Retail and Hospitality


• Egypt’s capital Cairo faces a shortage of destination malls, where per capita
retail space at 0.03/sq m is the lowest in GCC+Egypt.
• Key retail outlets and open retail spaces occupy c. 314k sq m of GLA vs. 3mn sq
m of retail GLA in Dubai.
• Over the next 3 years, we estimate c. 500k sq m of retail space to come on stream,
taking Cairo’s retail GLA per capita to 0.044/sq m.

Cairo Retail – limited GLA for high-end retail


Cairo’s retail GLA at 0.03 sq m Unlike Dubai, Egypt does not have any major destination malls with the existing
per capita is amongst the lowest Gross Leasable Area (GLA) for the high end segment at only close to 314k sq m vs.
vs. its GCC peers
Dubai retail GLA at over 3mn sq m. The lack of retail space can be gauged by retail
space per capita, which, at 0.03 sq m per capita, is well below Riyadh at 0.52 sq m or
Qatar at 1 sq m, and with Dubai being at the other end of the spectrum with the
highest retail space per capita in MENA region at 1.9 sq m. The City Stars in Cairo is
the largest mall with a total built up area (BUA) of over 700k sq m but GLA of only
close to 150k sq m.

suburban outskirts. Talaat Mostafa’s eldest son Mr. Tarek Talaat Mostafa took
control of the construction business, while the second son ventured into the
agricultural division.

Director of Talaat Mostafa Group Holding. Prior to that, he was the Chairman and
Managing Director of Alexandria Construction Company, one of the largest
contractors in the MENA Region. He is also the Executive Chairman of other

Self-funded business model – core in Egypt


Mortgage financing remains TMG relies largely on a self funded business model with little upfront funding
untapped in Egypt where the requirement to develop city and community complexes. The payment for purchased
company’s self-funded off-plan
business model has worked well
land parcels does not entail initial cash outlay and is typically settled in kind in the
form of residential apartments to the Ministry of Housing (e.g. Madinaty and Al
Rehab).

The upfront costs involving development plan and initial infrastructure are funded
via equity or debt, while the overall project construction cost is financed through
customer advances that are typically linked to cash outflow.

The company does not start construction unless a considerable portion of the planned
units in a particular phase of the project are sold out in order to ensure liquidity
headroom for at least 12-15 months ahead of construction. The customer payments
on sold units are structured to coincide with the planned construction expenses.

About 87% of the unit sales in Madinaty are made using one of the long-term
financing arrangements offered by TMG and backed by local and regional banks,
allowing customers to pay in installments. The customer payments depend on
applied financing schemes. Following the contract signing, the customer deposits a
series of post dated cheques with TMG that represent the monthly and annual
installments that add up to the remaining price of the purchased unit including
financing cost. The payments by means of post-dated cheques are structured so that
the instalments during the initial 4-year period prior to delivery of the unit generally
cover all of TMG’s construction outlays.

with local and regional banks that allow it to provide financing to purchasers of its
residential units for periods over 4 years and up to 10 and/or 15 years, which are
longer periods than is typical in Egypt. TMG has entered into two types of financing
facilities that support these financing arrangements. If these financing arrangements

Madinaty – 62% of TMG’s SOTP


Once completed in 6 overlapping With total land area of 33.6mn sq m and BUA of 19mn sq m (excludes attributable land
phases by 2020, Madinaty will be area for villas and includes land for Mega developers), TMG launched Madinaty in mid
home to 600k people with over
100k apartments and c. 6,700
2006. The construction is planned in 6 overlapping phases with the first set of
villas handovers within phase 1 due for completion and handover starting 2Q 2010. Madinaty
entails construction and handover of c. 100k apartments and 6,793 villas over the next 9
years with final completion by 2020. The payment for the allotted land parcel for this
project will be made to the Ministry of Housing in kind in the form of completed
residential units accounting for 2.7mn BUA of the total project’s residential BUA of
16.8mn Sq. This cost will be recognized pro rata at the end of each phase. According to
the most recent results, 29% of the residential BUA in Madinaty has already been sold
with roughly EGP15bn in advances from customers against this sale.

29% of Madinaty's total Revenue and project costs


residential BUA is already sold We use EGP11,900/sq m (US$2164/sq m) as blended villa prices and average of
EGP5,900/sq m (US$1073) for apartment sales across Phases 1-6 in Madinaty. Furthermore,
inline with management guidance, we use villa gross margin at 45% and apartment margin at
30%. Unlike some of the other TMG projects, Madinaty is not exempt from tax, hence we
apply a 20% corporate tax to the company cashflows to derive our DCF value.

weighted WACC of 15.75%
ranges between 15.3% - 16.5% depending upon planned completion. For example the
cash flows from Phase 6 which is due for completion by 2020 are discounted using a

TMG’s first international project – Nasamat Al Riyadh; 5%


of the SOTP
Nasamat Al Riyadh, in Saudi TMG formed a 50:50 Joint Venture with Saudi Arabia’s Al Mehedeb, AlFwazan and
Arabia, is a first step towards Al Oula Development Co. through its Saudi based subsidiary, Areez Limited in order
geographical diversification. The
project accounts for 4% of
to pursue geographical diversification. Nasamat Al Riyadh is TMG’s first
TMG’s total landbank and 5% of community style project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with a total residential BUA of
the company’s SOTP value 1.4mn sq m translating into c. 2,031 villas and 2,112 apartments. The planned project
stretches over 3mn sq m of land and the company owns additional 1mn adjacent to
the project, which is yet to be designed. Apart from the above, the company also
owns a 2.8mn sq m of land plot in Jeddah put aside for future development. We
calculate TMG's share of this land bank at 1.4mn sq m based on its 50% share in the
Saudi Joint Venture though we exclude this from our valuations as development
plans on this land bank have not yet been finalized.

The company picked Saudi Arabia as the first market for geographical diversification
given its strong underlying demand dynamics with a young indigenous population.
Riyadh is Saudi Arabia’s fastest growing housing market with annual population
growth averaging at 2.2%. According to the Riyadh Development Authority, Riyadh
needs nearly 18,000 units of annual supply over the next 20 years to fill up the
housing deficit. With high pent up demand, Riyadh has been one of the few places
where residential prices and rents have remained stable in the prime residential areas.

TMG also has 2.8mn sq m of TMG recently reported that the Saudi Real Estate authority has approved release of
landbank in Jeddah, though we off-plan unit sales in the Nasamat Al Riyadh project. As per the company release,
do not include this in our
valuations, as the company is
this makes TMG the first developer in KSA to be able to sell off-plan as approved by
yet to finalize development on the real estate development committee formed in mid 2009. We expect a phased
the same launch in Nasamat Al Riyadh to start from 4Q10 with a reported construction
timeline of 3 years post launch. With TMG’s share of EGP1.3bn in project DCF,
Nasamat accounts for 5% of our TMG combined SOTP value. To calculate our DCF,
we use a WACC of 15.5% and forecast revenue contribution to start flowing in from
end-2013 onwards.

TMG’s hotel and resort portfolio benefits from reasonable occupancy levels and
healthy operating margins given robust visitor traffic into Egypt annually. The
existing portfolio allows TMG to tap the business and tourism traffic flow
particularly into Cairo and Sharm el-Sheikh – Egypt’s major tourist destination.

Banking on annual visitor traffic As per 1Q10 reports, average occupancy levels of 66% at Four Seasons Cairo and
of 13mn into Egypt, TMG enjoys Sharm el-Sheikh are slowly recovering from pre 2009, where they had slipped to
reasonable occupancy levels
and healthy margins on its
58% down from 67% in 2008. During the same period, Average Room Rate (ARR)
hotels in Cairo and Sharm el- for the Four Seasons Nile Plaza and Sharm el-Sheikh slipped to US$338/day and
Sheikh US$460/day during 1Q10 vs. 2009 average of US$366/day and US$437/day.
However, better QoQ occupancy levels and higher revenue from the F&B (food and
beverages) business led to slightly improvement in Net Operating Margins, where
they averaged 49%, up from 47% in 4Q09. Occupancy levels and margins at Four
Seasons and San Stefano have been low at 43% and 12%, respectively, at end 1Q10.

Feeling the pressure from the global financial crisis, Egypt's visitor volumes inched
up by only 1%Y/Y in 2009,but visitor volumes into Egypt have remained robust with
5-year average (2005-08) growth of 15%. Hence with a slow yet gradual recovery in
global dynamics, we expect tourism flows to improve further in 2010, where
occupancy levels for TMG's two key hotels in Cairo and Sharm el-Sheikh have
already started trending upwards closing at average 66% vs. 9MCY09 average of

The hotel construction and development costs are partially financed through upfront
sale of high end luxury residential units attached to the hotel or resort. The difference
is funded via debt or equity. This effectively allows TMG to enhance net cashflow at
the start of the project and achieve target IRR of 18% on hotel complexes. The high
end luxury units are limited in number and grab significantly higher selling prices

Revenue outlook – 3-yr revenue CAGR of


31%
We estimate 3-year revenue With phased construction and handover spanning over the next 10 years, we expect
CAGR of 31% with a sizable 75% of TMG’s cumulative (2010E-2019E) revenue to come from Madinaty. This is
contribution coming from
revenue recognition on planned
followed by Al Rehab, which is expected to account for 12% of TMG's cumulative
handovers in Madinaty and Al revenue during the same period. Starting 2010, TMG will recognize revenue on the
Rehab first set of residential handovers in Madinaty, where we estimate a 3-year (2010-
2012) revenue CAGR of 31%. The current sales backlog of EGP24bn should cover
for revenues coming through over the next 3 years. However, sales projections
beyond 2012 assume revenue recognition from any future sales primarily within
Madinaty and Al Rehab's residential and commercial (mega developers) components.
We estimate 66% of the cumulative revenue during 2010E-2019E period to come
from property sales, followed by 26% contribution from land sales to mega
developers and 7% contribution from recurring revenue generated from hotel and
resort operations.

EBITDA and net profit outlook


3-yr net profit CAGR is estimated Gross margin should improve moving forward with cheaper construction costs and
at 35% with better margins stable pricing mix, where we estimate TMG to record average gross margin of 34%
expected on sales in Madinaty
and Al Rehab
(2010E-12E); an improvement of 100bps vs. average for 2008-09 at 31%. Unlike
some high-end residential focused developers, TMG raised its prices by 3% in 2009
and has already raised prices by 6%YTD for sales in the remaining inventory on
launched phases within Madinaty and Al Rehab.

The tax holiday which TMG has enjoyed on some of its earlier projects, does not
apply to Madinaty and Al Rehab 2. As a result, with Madinaty handovers starting in
2010, we estimate net margin to reduce by 400bps to 24% vs. average 28% in 2008-
09 with the company’s effective tax rate forecast to go up from average 10% in
2008-09 to average 20% for 2010E-12E period. Despite higher tax expense, we
estimate TMG to report a 3-year Net Income CAGR of 35% for 2010-2012.

Cash flows and balance sheet


Low gearing with liquidity likely to improve going forward
Cashflow position is likely to TMG's balance sheet remains underleveraged with a net debt/equity of 25% mainly
improve moving forward, as due to the company’s self-funded business model. This is unlikely to change over the
planned handovers allow MTG to
receive final down payments on
medium term, given strong underlying fundamentals of the Egyptian real estate
sold units over the next 3 years market, where 1) strong local population driven demand for housing and 2) high
proportion of cash based transactions given tight banking regulations should continue
to support TMG’s off-plan funding model, in our view. Following a slow 2009, the
company has already achieved EGP1.2bn (up 172%Y/Y) in new off-plan sales
during the first three months of 2010 with total sales backlog at EGP24bn. Moreover,
customer default risks remain low given stringent repayment policies followed by the
company, where customer contract cancellations that peaked in 1H09 remain less
than 5% of the total sales backlog. As the pace of handover in Madinaty and Al
Rehab picks up, we expect account receivables against the current backlog to
materialize into cash enabling TMG to pursue further land acquisitions inline with its
expansion strategy and accelerate pace of construction to take advantage of cheaper
construction costs.

Valuation Methodology and Risks


Talaat Mostafa Group (Overweight; Price Target £E10.70)
Valuation Methodology
Our end Dec 2010 target price of EGP10.7 is based on sum-of-the-parts valuation
analysis and includes discounted cash flows from TMG's ongoing mixed-used
residential development and hotel projects. TMG's largest project, Madinaty,
accounts for 62% of its combined SOTP, followed by Al Rehab (1 & 2) accounting
for c. 12% of the company’s SOTP value. We exclude TMG’s landbank from our
SOTP calculation, as we forecast cash flows from all of TMG projects including
Madinaty and Al Rehab for their entire construction period. We also exclude TMG’s
land plot in Jeddah (1.4mn sq m – 50% of the total of 2.8mn sq m), where
construction plans have not yet been finalized. We do not apply a discount to our
SOTP, as we find Egyptian property market dynamics rather robust with the
residential demand largely driven by domestic population rather than expats.
However, we use a high WACC of 14.8% to reflect low affordability levels and the
high interest & inflation rate environment in the country.

Risks to Our View


The downside risks to our OW rating could come from weaker than forecast revenue
from planned handovers in 2010-2012, weaker than forecast margins on residential
units, lower than forecast demand for housing, and a poor response from the off-plan
sales launch in Saudi Arabia.
