USD  bonds  rise,  default  swaps  fall  on  US  aid  pledge  
Egypt’s  10-­‐year  USD  bonds  rose,  pushing  yields  to  the  lowest  level  since  January  2011,  and  the  country’s  credit  
risk  dropped  as  US  President  Barack  Obama  pledged  to  provide  debt  relief  of  as  much  as  USD1  billion.  The  yield  
on  the  5.75%  debt  due  in  April  2020  tumbled  32  basis  points  (bps)  to  5.88%,  the  lowest  since  25  January  2011,  
according  to  Bloomberg’s  composite  prices.  The  cost  of  protecting  government  debt  against  default  for  five  years  
fell  30  bps  before  President  Obama’s  address  at  the  State  Department  in  Washington  to  322  bps,  according  to  
CMA  prices  in  London.  President  Obama  announced  the  cancellation  of  up  to  USD1  billion  in  debt,  about  one-­‐
third  of  what  Egypt  owes  the  US,  and  said  his  administration  will  be  working  to  create  enterprise  funds  for  the  
most  populous  Arab  country.  (Bloomberg)  
   
Juhayna  reports  EGP50  million  net  profit  in  1Q2011;  operationally  resilient  as  expected  
Juhayna  Food  Industries  (Juhayna)  [[Link]]  reported  a  1Q2011  net  profit  of  EGP50  million,  down  17%  Y-­‐o-­‐Y.  
Excluding  a  one-­‐off  capital  gain  in  1Q2010,  net  profit  actually  grew,  driven  by  a  decline  in  net  interest  expense.  
Operationally,  results  were  resilient,  as  expected.  Revenue  grew  by  6%  Y-­‐o-­‐Y  to  EGP428  million,  constrained  by  
production  and  distribution  disruptions  at  the  end  of  January/February,  and  export  losses  (dairy  products)  to  
Libya.  EBITDA  inched  down  4%  Y-­‐o-­‐Y  to  EGP98  million  (6%  above  our  estimate),  as  the  EBITDA  margin  
narrowed  to  22.9%  from  25.1%  in  1Q2010  (which  was  the  highest  in  FY2010).  However,  the  margin  was  c100  
bps  higher  than  in  4Q2010  and  above  our  expectation.  A  Q-­‐o-­‐Q  expansion  in  dairy  gross  margin,  on  rising  prices,  
more  than  offset  a  decline  in  yogurt  and  juice  margins.  Net  interest  expense  fell  to  EGP7  million  from  EGP23  
million  in  1Q2010,  driven  by  the  cash  injection  from  the  IPO  proceeds  in  2Q2010.  (Juhayna  Financials,  Wafaa

Vimpelcom  signs  transfer  agreements  for  OT’s  USD1.77  billion  debt  with  lenders  
Vimpelcom  has  signed  last  Monday  agreements  with  42  of  Orascom  Telecom’s  (OT)  [[Link]]  local  and  global  
lenders  to  transfer  USD1.77  billion  in  debts  from  OT  to  Vimpelcom,  according  to  Al  Mal.  Vimpelcom  has  made  an  
early  repayment  of  facilities  maturing  in  2013,  as  stipulated  by  the  financing  agreement  between  OT  and  its  
lenders,  which  states  that  OT  should  repay  debts  ahead  of  maturity  in  the  event  of  a  change  of  ownership  of  the  
company.  (Al  Mal)

Banks  to  use  Ezz  Steel  Suez  plant  as  collateral  for  EGP1.8  billion  loan  
According  to  Al  Alam  Al  Youm,  Bank  Misr  and  the  National  Bank  of  Egypt,  the  leaders  of  the  syndicated  loan  to  
Ezz  Steel  ([Link])  will  use  the  Suez  DRI  plant  (currently  under  construction)  as  collateral  for  the  EGP1.8  billion  
loan  for  the  construction  of  the  same  plant.  The  banks  have  taken  these  steps  to  guarantee  the  loan  after  recent  
developments,  including  the  resignation  of  Ahmed  Ezz,  Ezz  Steel’s  Chairman,  according  to  the  article.  The  banks  
have  already  paid  out  40%  of  the  loan  and  have  taken  the  DRI  plant  as  collateral  for  the  remaining  60%,  
according  to  Al  Alam  Al  Youm.  The  plant,  which  is  expected  to  cost  USD400  million,  was  originally  slated  to  start  
production  in  3Q2011,  but  has  since  been  delayed  due  to  the  current  events  in  Egypt  as  well  as  the  investigation  
facing  Ahmed  Ezz.  (Al  Alam  Al  Youm)

Saudi  Arabia  to  give  Egypt  USD4  billion  in  economic  aid,  SPA  says  
Saudi  Arabia  will  provide  USD4  billion  to  support  Egypt’s  economy,  the  state-­‐run  Saudi  Press  Agency  (SPA)  said  
on  21  May  2011.  The  assistance  will  be  granted  in  “soft  loans,  deposits  and  grants,”  it  said,  citing  a  statement  
issued  by  Egyptian  Field  Marshal  Mohamed  Hussein  Tantawi,  who  heads  the  ruling  military  council.

Sahara  and  Ma’aden  sign  EPC  contract  for  CS-­EDC  project  
The  Sahara  Petrochemical  Company  (Sahara)  [[Link]]  and  the  Saudi  Arabian  Mining  Company  (Ma’aden)  
[[Link]]  have  signed  an  engineering,  procurement  and  construction  (EPC)  contract  with  Daelim  for  the  
construction  of  the  USD750  million  caustic  soda  and  ethylene  dichloride  (CS-­‐EDC)  plant  in  Jubail  Industrial  City.  
The  project,  which  is  a  50:50  joint  venture  between  Sahara  and  Ma’aden,  will  produce  250,000  tonnes  per  year  
(tpy)  of  caustic  soda  and  300,000  tpy  of  EDC  and  is  expected  to  become  operational  by  4Q2012.  (Tadawul)  
   
Cristal  Global  increases  TiO2  prices  
Cristal  global,  a  66%  owned  subsidiary  of  the  National  Industrialization  Company  (Tasnee)  [[Link]],  will  
increase  its  price  of  titanium  dioxide  (TiO2)  in  North  America  by  USD220/tonne  starting  on  1  June  [Link]  is  
the  third  TiO2  price  increase  in  North  America  in  2011  and  the  seventh  price  increase  since  2010,  indicative  of  
the  high  TiO2  demand  and  the  tight  global  market  supply.  (Argaam)  
   
SHARACO  purchases  land  plot  of  c50,000  sqm  in  Riyahd  for  cSAR50.5  million  
Saudi  Hotels  and  Resort  Areas  Company  (SHARACO)  [[Link]]  announced  that  it  has  acquired  a  land  plot  of  
49,680  square  metres  (sqm)  in  Riyadh  for  cSAR50.5  million,  the  company  said  in  a  statement  to  the  Tadawul.

CSCCI  to  recommend  the  establishment  of  a  separate  real  estate  authority  in  the  Kingdom  
The  Council  of  Saudi  Chambers  of  Commerce  and  Industry  (CSCCI)  will  recommend  the  establishment  of  a  
separate  authority  for  real  estate  in  the  Kingdom,  Zawya  Dow  Jones  reported.  The  CSCCI  is  currently  drafting  a  
detailed  study  for  this  proposal  and  the  final  report  will  be  completed  within  “two  months,”  Zawya  Dow  Jones  
quoted  the  Real  Estate  Committee  Chairman,  Hamad  Al-­‐Shuweir,  as  saying.  He  added  that  the  report  would  be  
forwarded  to  the  Shoura  Council.  The  role  of  the  authority  would  be  determined  by  a  consultancy  firm,  but  Al-­‐
Shuweir  suggested  that  this  authority  could  frame  regulations  for  the  real  estate  sector.  (Zawya  Dow  Jones)

Saudi  Telecom  Company  (STC)  -­  Downgrade  Rating  to  Neutral  as  Weakness  Persists  -­  Company  Note  -­  19  
May  2011  
Reduce  Fair  Value  by  25%;  Downgrade  to  Neutral:  We  revise  downwards  our  estimated  equity  value  for  the  
group  to  SAR83  billion  (USD22  billion)  using  a  sum-­‐of-­‐the-­‐parts  (SOTP)  approach  based  on  a  DCF  valuation  for  
each  of  STC’s  operations.  This  translates  into  a  fair  value  (FV)  of  SAR41.4/share,  implying  15%  upside  potential  
and  a  Neutral  rating  (versus  Buy  previously).  The  local  operation  still  contributes  the  bulk  of  the  valuation  
(c79%).  The  company  is  currently  trading  at  9.9x  estimated  2011  P/E  versus  8.0x  for  Mobily  (Price:  SAR52.50,  
FV:  SAR65.90,  Rating:  Buy),  an  unmerited  premium,  in  our  view.  Our  FV  for  Mobily  offers  26%  upside  potential.  
   
Estimated  2011  Dividend  Yield  Drops  to  5.6%:  An  uninspiring  operational  performance  in  the  past  couple  of  
quarters,  coupled  with  the  reduction  in  1Q2011’s  DPS  to  SAR0.50/share,  underscores  our  FV  and  rating  cut.  
Furthermore,  while  STC  has  not  been  amongst  our  top  MENA  telecom  stock  picks  over  the  past  year,  we  had  
been  flagging  it  as  a  good  dividend  play.  However,  with  an  estimated  2011  dividend  yield  of  5.6%  is  not  much  of  
an  edge  over  Mobily’s  4.8%,  in  our  view.  We  do  not  see  any  immediate  catalysts  that  could  create  a  rally  in  the  
stock.  
   
Reducing  Revenue  Forecasts  for  the  Saudi  Operation:  We  update  our  forecasts  for  the  company’s  operations,  
which  results  in  an  increase  in  our  consolidated  revenue  forecasts  by  3-­‐5%  on  the  back  of  full  consolidation  of  
STC’s  Indonesian  subsidiary  starting  in  2Q2011,  as  well  as  increased  revenue  forecasts  for  Turk  Telekom.  We  
cut  our  revenue  forecasts  for  the  Saudi  local  operation  in  both  the  fixed-­‐line  and  mobile  segments.  Our  adjusted  
forecasts  also  lead  to  lower  consolidated  EBITDA  margin  forecasts,  mainly  on  lower  margins  at  the  Turk  
Telekom  level.  (Nadine  Ghobrial,  Marise  Ananian)
