POST REVOLUTION SECTORS OUTLOOK February 21, 2011

The ongoing political disturbances raised countless questions to investors today, wondering which sectors of
Sector Outlook the Egyptian economy are set for a safe investment. Our sentiment on different sectors has changed, where
some of these sectors have taken an opposite direction to what we saw prior to the incidents of January, 25,
2011.
Oil & Gas Positive
In our perspective, the one sector that we believe still has real foundation is the Oil and Gas sector. The Oil
and Gas sector is expected to boom in the coming period mainly driven by higher crude oil prices
Banking Neutral which have reached a high of US$103/barrel amid fears of shutting down the Suez Canal due to the political
uncertainties. In addition, as a result of hiking oil prices, the stretching of exploration and production pro-
Pharmaceuticals Neutral jects worldwide is expected to increase coupled with oil supply dependent companies benefiting from soaring
oil prices.
Despite our expectation for a significant slow down/shrinking of most sectors, we expect the current po-
Fertilizers Neutral litical and economic disturbances to have a minimal effect on industries such as pharmaceuti-
cals, fertilizers, telecom and food due to their defensive nature (i.e. necessary goods). Moreover,
Telecommunication Neutral most of the government subsides are directed to serve the above mentioned sectors curbing selling price
fluctuation. Accordingly, we haven’t revised our assumptions on demand, supply, prices and margins for
those sectors.
Food Neutral Regarding the Pharmaceutical sector, given the inelasticity to systematic risk, pharmaceuticals consumption
is not expected to be negatively impacted. We anticipate that people will continue to consume, if not at an
increased rate. Hence, given that per capita pharmaceutical expenditure for Egypt is estimated at US$34 in
Real Estate Negative FY10, we maintain our estimates of per capita pharmaceutical expenditures at US$37.40, up by 10% Y-o-Y.
Furthermore, Telecom sector will lose traffic from roaming activities as tourists influx drop, however this drop
will be offset by strong network usage coupled with large population base and promotions offered by opera-

sectors as most of those companies are predicted to be charged with additional costs and penalties given the

affecting building materials sector dynamics (demand, supply, prices and margins) which are accordingly
predicted to shrink.

ing prices and mar- hand, total demand is 89.9 million barrels versus 87.9 million barrels a month earlier. Furthermore, local de-
gins mand is seen to grow steadily unaffected by Egypt turmoil backed by sound consumption of a great population.
Consequently, oil supply dependant companies in Egypt are expected to proceed their business activities and
benefit from soaring oil prices by imposing higher selling prices in attempt of attaining higher sales but not
higher margins as cost rises.

Banking Sector Outlook-Neutral


The loans to deposits ratio averaged 55% over the past 5 years, hence a strong liquidity position. Even though

of 15% 3% growth over the course of 2011 from our earlier estimate of 11%. Accordingly, L/D to stand at 51%.

At the current moment, we identify areas of risk as follows;


• Loans given to companies led by specific entrepreneurs, namely Ezz Group, TMG and Palm Hills. Total
loans given to the 3 companies amount to LE13.6 billion or 3% of total loans in Egypt. Hence, limited risk,
especially that these loans are guaranteed by the corporation, rather than the entrepreneur;
• Retail loans, due to the risk of lay offs. Currently, retail loans constitute 22% of total non-government

stands at 3.5%
expected to reach
5.5% Large cap banks under our coverage enjoy coverage ratio higher than 100%. Accordingly, we believe that pos-
sible increase in NPL’s will not lead to devastating increases in provision expenses. Currently, average NPL ratio
for large cap banks under coverage stands at 3.5% expected to reach 5.5%, given the above mentioned risks.

Exposure to Treasuries, Egyptian Stock Market & Banks Abroad


• Egyptian banks continue to maintain huge investments in government t-bills amounting to LE328 billion as
at November 2010 and representing 35% of total deposits, hence, a considerable portion of the govern-
ment sovereign risk is transferred to the banking sector;
• Exposure to the Egyptian stock market is limited where financial investments stand at LE42 billion, or 4.5%
of total deposits;
• Due to banks abroad stood at LE24.8 billion or 2% of total assets as of November 2011. Hence, very low
exposure and limited risk from outflow of funds.

We expect financial performance to be supported by income from high yield treasuries, in addition to main-
tained momentum from service charges and fees. Over the coming period, we expect to see growing exporta-
tion activities, hence, boosting service charges and fees. On the other hand, we expect revaluation losses from
financial investments to weigh negatively on non-interest income. Another negative is expected to come from
higher provisioning charges.

PHARMACEUTICAL, FERTILIZERS AND FOOD February 21, 2011
SECTORS OUTLOOK

Pharmaceutical sector-Neutral
we maintain our We have a neutral sentiment on Pharmaceutical sector; thus, we haven’t revised our previous assumptions for
estimates of per this sector. During the coming period of 2011, the Egyptian drug making business is poised to see a moderate

Y-o-Y estimated at US$34 in FY10, we maintain our estimates of per capita Pharmaceutical expenditures at
US$37.40, up by 10% Y-o-Y.

Government’s restrictions on pricing pharmaceuticals, achieved through a cost plus method, allows the govern-
ment to set the price of the drug after reviewing all the costs incurred by the company. Therefore, due to the
Government price pharmaceutical industry’s structure and government restrictions on pricing, prices are expected to remain un-
restrictions set on
cost plus method changed. We expect the companies to witness an increase in its COGS backed by two factors: 1) 85% of raw
materials used in the manufacturing of drugs are imported 2) Depreciation of the Egyptian pound against US$
to reach approximately LE6.2/US$, which represents a burden on companies in the sector. Consequently, cus-
toms for pharmaceutical raw materials have been dropped by the government from 10% to 2%; reducing pres-
sures of higher costs.

Maintained margins Given that demand is expected to increase, producers are expected to increase production to accommodate
due to government
restrictions on prices customers demands. Thus, it is expected that revenues will increase; resulting from the sale of a larger number
of pharmaceutical drugs.

Although revenues and sales are expected to witness growth, margins for pharmaceuticals are expected to be
sustained at 40% and 30% for EBITDA and NI margins respectively; due to government’s aim at calming and
sustaining the public and not raising prices.

Fertilizers Sector Outlook-Neutral


The fertilizers production industry depends on the agricultural sector which produces food and thus protected
from any political disturbance. Therefore, local demand is seen constant as well as local supply for no new ex-
pansions to come online in 2011. However, we are concerned about both phosphate and nitrogen based fertil-
izers.
Nitrogen based fertilizers, which the Egyptian farmers use the most, are subsidized by the government which is

It is worth mentioning that Egypt is a net exporter of fertilizers with an export value of US$725 million and a
total imports value of US$257 million in FY10.

Food Sector Outlook-Neutral


Food is necessary Consumption in the food sector has been witnessing steady growth for the past few years and is expected to

tected against any robust Egyptian population. Therefore, we have maintained our assumptions on consumption and per capita
political disturbance consumption of food at LE228 billion and LE2,800 during 2011, respectively.

Most of food prices in the local market have followed an upward trend since the beginning of 2010 associated
with the increase in international prices driven by the decline in global production and increase in international
demand. Most of food companies were able to pass the increases to consumers, however the government will
exert more efforts to reduce further increases in some prices.
