Key Investment Considerations
The sequence of events
Following a 7-month eventful (referendum, capital controls, bank holidays) period of negotiations between the SYRIZA-led coalition government with Independent Greeks and the country’s creditors, a new ESM program was agreed between Greece and its creditors and was ratified by the European parliaments and ESM board as of August 19. The agreement ensured Eur86 bn of funding until end-2018 (including a Eur25 bn backstop facility for banks) and a commitment for discussion of potential debt relief measures in October-November after the conclusion of the first review of the program, in exchange of a new set of measures expected to account for 4.3% of GDP per annum by 2018 fully-phased, the introduction of structural reforms and privatizations. Immediately following the disbursement of a first tranche of Eur13 bn on August 20 to pay liabilities to ECB, IMF and a bridge loan, Greece called a new general election for September 20.
We have cut the valuation of our non-banks universe by an avg of 11% (ranging from 2% to 22% lower, with only two cases where we increased our PT) to incorporate a weakening economic environment due to the imposition of capital controls and the introduction of new austerity measures. According to European Authorities (Baseline scenario of comprehensive assessment exercise), GDP is expected to decline by 2.3% in 2015, and 1.3% in 2016 and increase by 2.7% in 2017. However, Q2 ‘15 GDP surprised on the upside posting a rise of 1.6% yoy, suggesting a GDP rise of 1.1% yoy in H1 ‘15. According to Piraeus Bank economists, the H1 ‘15 reported figure indicates a contraction of 0.7% in 2015 against a previous estimate for a contraction of 2.0%. Piraeus still expects GDP decline of 2.0% to 3.0% in 2016 as a result of the upfront fiscal tightening, subject to political developments and the program implementation
The valuation of our non-banks universe implies an upside potential of 14.5%, following the aforementioned adjustments, while using a DDM model, the upside stands at 29%.
Upside risks to our valuation include a) a smaller than currently anticipated GDP contraction as a result of the emergence of a stable, pro-euro government that will promote structural reforms, privatizations and constant absorption of the Eur30 bn growth package supported by better than expected H1 ‘15 GDP data; b) successful conclusion of the Greek banks’ recapitalization process before the end of 2015; c) successful conclusion of the first review of the program accompanied by debt relief measures; d) steady normalization of liquidity conditions in the market as a result of the alleviation of capital controls, reinstatement of Greek debt waiver by ECB and inclusion of Greek debt in ECB’s QE program
The largest downside risk seems to be the emergence of a political deadlock from the upcoming election. The inability of the current political forces to create a stable government swiftly would intensify and prolong the economic downturn
At this point, our top pick list includes companies with relatively large international exposure, favorable cycle and flexible operating model such as Motor Oil and companies with short term catalysts like OPAP. In our view at some point in 2016, assuming some adjustments on the regulatory framework, we should witness the successful launch of the VLTs project that will further diversify OPAP’s gaming portfolio and will fuel growth over the coming years. We remind that the launch of the VLTs will also bring to the Greek State’s coffers c. EUR 300mn of taxes on an annual basis. On the other hand, Motor Oil is having a favorable cycle with strong USD and benchmark margins, which should feed in the profitability.
Under a swift resolution of the political issue, we would favor companies with healthy balance sheets , established business models that could leverage on the economic recovery such as OTE, Athens Exchange Group and Jumbo. Privatizations could also be a major catalyst in specific cases such as PPC (sale of ADMIE, small PPC) and Lamda Development (Hellinikon project; non rated). We remain positive on tourism related stories like Aegean.

Greek equities have massively underperformed benchmarks the past 1.5years, courtesy of the fragile economic environment and political risk. The divergence in performance essentially starts from September 2014, when the market starts to discount early elections. Since then, the segregation of the Greek market vs European peers continues unabated.
ATHEX has underperformed benchmarks the past year….
6
…on the back of rising yields…
GGBs currently trade at c8.9%. The last time the Greek government debt was trading at these levels, (in end-February 2015), the ATHEX stood c41% above its current levels. Or to put it another way, the last time the ATHEX was trading at current levels was back in September 2012, when GGBs stood at 19.5%.
7
…due to spike on the domestic political risk, which outweigh global macro woes
The pressure on Greek equities accelerated from Q2 onwards and remains the underperformer vs most of its European peers. Most of them have positive performance year-to-date. The difference compared to April 2015 is the spill over of the China and EM weakness to European equities and that despite the positive impact of the ECB QE.
8
GGBs & ATHEX co-movements
There has been a broadly similar pattern between debt and equity the past few years, which seems to have been broken lately, as the fall in the yield has not been followed by a positive performance in equities.

Greek non-financials surged from the time of the PSI (31/5/12) until the imposition of the capital controls (26/6/15). Our universe gained on average 2.4x. The capital controls reversed this trend although most non-financial stocks have recuperated some of their initial losses.

Word of caution The 2-stage DDM best applies in cases where there is high growth potential for a number of years prior to the stable-growth phase, companies pay dividends that approximate FCFE, and leverage is stable. As such, our valuation exercise is highly dependent on the level of growth projected for both phases, the length of the high growth phase, the dividend payouts, as well as the cost of equity (risk) assumptions that we make.

2Q 2015 review: The Greek airline reported revenues of EUR 265.7mn (+4.3%) EBITDAR of EUR 60.4mn (+2.9%) and net profit of EUR 23.1mn slightly lower than the EUR 24.4mn reported in 2Q 2014. However adjusting for EUR 4.5mn one off gains, the EBITDAR was 4.5% lower YoY and the net profit c 20% lower YoY. Yield pressure continued unabated in Q2, it was 9% lower and outpaced unit cost containment (-7.8%). Traffic on the other hand was strong, up by 15.2% with international traffic up by 18.4% on the back of 17.8% higher ASKs.
Outlook: The imposition of the capital controls was waived by the company through aggressive promotional activity, which allowed a strong 19% traffic growth in July. Of course the traffic growth was made possible at the expense of yields, which should have retreated at a much higher pace than the Q2. They do expect a strong Q3 but not as strong as 3Q 2015 was. In the mid-term, the management remained cautious and said during the conference call that they will adopt a much more conservative stance on capacity expansion and will prefer to be flexible on their fleet, implying in our view that they will sell and lease back the aircrafts that they own.
Valuation/estimates: We cut our estimates by 19% and 17% in 2015 and 2016 respectively, as we both cut our top line (courtesy of the revenue loss due to the capital controls and the lower yields) and due to higher than expected costs, relating to the increase of the activity of the airline. Going forward, we assume flat fleet vs our previous estimate for an increase of the fleet by 3 aircrafts. Valuation-wise, our blended DCF/multiples exercise now returns a target price of EUR 7.8/share, which implies an upside of 20%, hence we reiterate our Outperform rating. On our target price, the stock is trading 9.4x P/E 2015e, broadly in line with European flag carriers.
Upside risks: Jet fuel prices, remaining at low levels, macro improvement, which will lead to a strong pick up in domestic demand, loosening of competition from foreign operators, EUR strengthening vs the USD.
Downside risks: further increase in competition, spike in jet fuel prices, further strengthening of the USD, weak tourism
Company description: Aegean Airlines is operating 58 aircrafts in 134 destinations of which 100 are international and 34 are domestic. The airline will have a capacity of 15mn available seats in 2015 and we estimate that will post a passenger traffic of 11.5mn passengers.

As bad as it gets; Political woes, capital controls, the loss of 25 trading days and increased taxation take a toll on current year’s estimates – Banks’ recap to offset part of the losses Q2 ‘15 results Athens Exchange Group announced a weak set of results that stood below our estimates in terms of Operating Profitability and bottom line. 2Q15 turnover came in at EUR 8.43mn in line with our estimates, EBITDA reached EUR 2.58mn, missing our estimate by 18% and Net Profit stood at EUR 1.37mn, missing our estimate by 45%. The miss to our EBITDA estimate is mainly attributed to one-off expenses related to provisions for bad debts & other risks that came in at EUR 0.65mn for the quarter and to the capital concentration tax that amounted to EUR 0.66mn for the quarter. The miss to our Net Profit estimate is attributed to the miss in our EBITDA line and the higher than expected corporate tax rate for the period.
Valuation A prolonged period of political uncertainty and the failure to reach an agreement with the creditors before July, took a toll on y-t-d trading volumes currently standing at EUR 92mn. The declared referendum resulted to the imposition of capital controls, the closing of the stock market and the loss of 25 trading days for 2015. We also point out that the opening of the market early in August came with significant restrictions for Greek investors resulting in even lower volumes. As a result we lower our trading volumes estimate for FY 2015 from EUR 120mn to EUR 85mn and we reduce the number of the trading days for the year to 223 vs. 248 before; we expect some relief towards year-end and we incorporate revenues of c. EUR 3mn from Banks recap. We are now modeling an increased corporate tax rate for the Group that should stand at 30%, as per our estimates. We reduce our target price to EUR 5.7 from EUR 6.8 before, but we maintain an Outperform rating on valuation grounds. At current levels, and excl. cash, the implied P/E for 2016 stands at 9.5x with the implied discount at 19% vs. Group’s 10-year historical average. Our target price of EUR 5.7 implies an upside potential of 22% from current levels.
Upside risks Primary trigger includes a pick-up in trading volumes as the sovereign risk resides and velocity converges to European standards. Volumes above our expectations would also trigger valuation upgrades. Moreover, the increase of the market capitalization of the Greek market due to improved sentiment but also due to the recapitalized banking sector should also enhance revenue streams.
Downside risks Trading volumes below our estimates in the next few years is the main downside risk. A possible re-escalation of the Greek sovereign risk and a risk off approach towards Greek assets would be the most likely candidates behind lower volumes going forward.

2Q 2015 results: Autohellas reported a good set of results with Q2 revenues of EUR 44.74mn (+14.8%), EBITDA of EUR 21.7mn (+12.5%) and adjusted net profit of EUR 4.5mn vs EUR 3.4mn last year. Including the dividend from Aegean, the Q2 net stood at EUR 8.8mn (+1.6x). The EBITDA margin retreated by 1pp to 48.5% due to down trading in both leasing and RaC and lower margin in used car sales. RaC revenues grew 12.3% at EUR 19.2mn, leasing was also up by 4.2% at EUR 38.4mn, while sales of used cars stood at EUR 16.2mn (+31.7%). The group continued to expand abroad, by assuming the Hertz franchise in Ukraine. The revenues from non-Greek territories grew 14.5% in 1H at EUR 17.4mn and now represents 22.8% of total revenues.
Outlook: The capital controls may have induced some containment on the vehicle purchases but in any case this shapes to be a good year with strong RaC sales. We are not so confident on leasing as the recovery in the 1H may reverse in the 2H, courtesy of the dire straits of the economy and the impact of the capital controls and the expected recession
Valuation/estimates: We raised our reported 2015 estimates by 20% as we incorporated the Aegean capital return, which was not in our estimates previously. On an underlying basis, our estimates are down by c13%. Going forward, we cut our estimates by 9%. We think that the management will opt for a more conservative approach next year on the back of the increased political uncertainty, while the new subsidiaries that recently started or are about to start, could inflate opex. We also raised the WACC we use in our DCF model and we end up with a PT of EUR 10.0/share, marginally below the previous PT of EUR 10.2. On our estimates, the stock is trading at a fwd P/E of 6.9x, at par with the 10Y avg. fwd P/E. Given that there is no upside, we downgrade the stock to Neutral.
Upside risks: Increased penetration in the foreign markets, which will lead to lower dependence on the Greek market, recovery of the used car market, macro improvement in Greece.
Downside risks: weak tourism next year, leasing and used car market remains in doldrums, pricing erosion.
Company description: Autohellas is one of the largest Hertz franchisees in the world. It currently represents Hertz in the markets of Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Ukraine and recently Croatia.

1H 2015 results: Coca Cola HBC reported revenues of EUR 3.15bn (-1%) with comparable EBIT at EUR 219mn (+31.2%) on 3.8% volume growth. Comparable EPS stood at EUR 0.389, +43.5% YoY (net profit of EUR 141.7mn).
Outlook: The management raised the FX impact to EUR 155mn from EUR 140mn previously, while they expect the group to post volume growth this year. Restructuring initiatives should amount EUR 45mn this year. In the 2H the group plans pricing initiatives in markets with FX headwinds, H2’15 margin will be broadly in line with 2H 2014, while debt in September will be repaid by own funds, target net debt/EBITDA is seen at 1.5-2x. In 2016, revenues will grow at half the pace of volume growth. In all, the outlook for the group is somewhat improved, although remains fragile, mostly due to pricing challenges in key markets, the volatility in the Russian market and expectations that input costs cannot remain at the current very low levels in 2016. Moreover, although we do expect CCHBC to return to volume growth, this will be anemic at best.
Valuation/estimates: We have raised our estimates by 8% in 2015 and by 5.1% in 2016 to account for the trends in the various markets and the higher than expected margins, as well as the feedback of the management during the conference call. We set a new target price of EUR 17.0/share from EUR 16.2/share previously and we retain our Neutral rating on the stock.
Upside risks: macro improvement in key markets like Russia and Italy, sustained low levels of input costs, demand recovers faster than expected, higher than expected pricing, FX improvement (mainly RUB), capex lower than anticipated.
Downside risks: spikes in commodity prices, further slowdown in key markets, further weakening of key currencies.
Company description: CCHBC is an anchor bottler of the Coke system, operating in 28 countries, selling 2bn cases annually through 136 brands and employing 36,362 employees. The company has its primary listing in LSE (FTSE100 constituent) and a second listing in the ATHEX.

Faster roll-out of the franchise business in China & higher financials trim our EBITDA and bottom line estimates Q2 15 results review Folli Follie Group announced a rather mixed set of 2Q15 results that stood above our estimates in terms of top & bottom line and below in terms of EBITDA with significant EBITDA margin erosion of 4pps. Sales came in at EUR 325.6mn increased by 29.7%, beating our estimate by 11.8%. We point out top line growth across all business units. For 1H15 sales stood at EUR 594.3mn up by 24.1%; excl. FX management commented that 1H sales increased by 8%. EBITDA stood at EUR 61.8mn increased by 7.1%, missing our estimate by 5.6%. The miss to our estimate is attributed to a significant erosion of the EBITDA margin in the JWA division that came in at 23.7% vs. our estimate of 27.6% and to EBITDA losses in the Retail/Wholesale division due to higher discount market environment and one-off items that impacted division’s profitability. Net Profit stood at EUR 38.7mn beating our estimate by 1.9%. The Group recorded a Net Debt position of EUR 78mn vs. EUR 54mn at the end of 2014 and EUR 61mn in 1Q15 mainly due to increased Capex needs that stood at EUR 44.8mn vs. EUR 13.8mn the year ago period. Management guided for increased Capex that will stand at EUR 60mn for the FY period that in our view will take a toll on Group’s weak FCF generation; management also commented that as of 2016 Capex will stand on average at EUR 50mn/year that will be invested on infrastructure, IT systems R&D. On the FCF front the Group recorded OFCF of EUR 15.3mn vs. cash outflow of EUR 15.4mn the year ago period since increased W/C requirement were offset by the positive effect of FX differences amounting to EUR 75.8mn. Management guided for a double digit growth in the top & bottom line, while no guidance was provided in terms of operating profitability and FCF generation.
Valuation We reduce our EBITDA and bottom line estimates to incorporate reduced margins from the faster roll-out of the franchise business in China, currently accounting for 33% of JWA division’s sales, as well as higher financials and a slightly increased tax rate. We value Folli Follie Group by employing a combination of SOTP valuation on targeted 2016 EV/EBITDA multiples for each business segment separately (50% weight) along with the use of Discounted Cash flow model (50% weight). Our valuation exercise generates a target price of EUR 28.7/share with an implied P/E ratio of 10.8x the Group’s projected earnings for FY 2016 or broadly in line Group’s historical average of 10.5x. With shares changing hands at current levels on a 2016E P/E of 7.5x and an EV/EBITDA of 5.4x, we maintain an Outperform rating. Our target price implies an upside potential of 44.5% from current levels.
Upside risks Gaining significant market share through increased Folli Follie and Links of London brands awareness in Asia; Further consolidation of the Greek market in favour of department stores and malls; Expansion of operations in new regions- US penetration with Folli Follie and Links brands; Opportunities within the Dufry network; Distribution agreements with more brands in Greece and SEE; Expansion of the Collective retail concept in Greece, Bulgaria and Romania
Downside risks Weak FCF generation and high WC needs; Dependency on consumer spending levels; Potential delays in the new POS/ Department stores rollout; Margin pressure from the increasing wholesale contribution
Company description Folli Follie is a diversified retail Group that operates in four different segments; Jewellery, Watches & Accessories (70.6% of total sales in 2014), Department Stores (15.4% of total sales in 2014) and Retail/Wholesale (14% of total sales in 2014). At the end of 1H15, it operated 987 POS in 28 countries with a focus on Greater China. Other important markets for the Group are the United Kingdom, North America, Japan, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania.

Reduce estimates and target price due to adverse economic environment in Greece Q2 15 results Fourlis announced 2Q15 results that stood in line with our estimates for the core business segments, while it recorded higher than expected losses from the non-core business segments. 2Q15 sales came in at EUR 94.5mn, flat y-o-y, beating our estimate by 0.8% due to slightly better performance across all segments. EBITDA stood at EUR 5.9mn, increased by 6.3%, missing our estimate by 2.3% due to higher than expected losses from the non-core business segments. 2Q15 Net Losses stood at EUR 1.3mn vs. our estimate for losses of EUR 0.3mn due to losses related to the commercial center in Bulgaria. Net Debt for the period stood at EUR 144.5mn vs. EUR 135mn at the end of 2014. Increased Net Debt is attributed to operating losses of EUR 7.5mn, while Capex spending stood at EUR 5.4mn. At the end of 1H15 the Group recorded Free Cash outflow of EUR 9.65mn. In terms of the various business segments performance, IKEA recorded 2Q15 sales of EUR 61.8mn up 4.3% benefited by market share gains, while EBITDA stood at EUR 3.6mn up by 11%, while the respective margin increased by 35bps. Intersport recorded sales of EUR 31mn up by 5.9% benefited by strong growth momentum in its foreign operations. EBITDA stood at EUR 3.2mn, flat y-o-y, with the respective margin down by 65bps, due to increased weight of the foreign operations that carry lower margins. On 3Q performance management commented that July’s sales were reduced by 18% but at the end of August 60% of the losses have been recovered.
Valuation We reduce our EBITDA estimates by c. 12% to incorporate the deteriorating economic environment and the reduced liquidity in the Greek market after the imposition of the capital controls; our bottom line is negatively affected due to the application of an increased corporate tax rate in Greece. We remind that c. 65% of Group’s sales is derived from Greece. We decrease our target to EUR 4.30/share from EUR 5.50 before with an implied upside potential of 80.6% from current levels. As a result we maintain our Outperform rating. At current levels, Fourlis trades on a 2016E EV/EBITDA of 6.7x or at 30% discount vs. Group’s 7-years historical average of 9.6x (during the crisis) and at a 2017E EV/EBITDA multiple of 5.9x, implying an 38.3% discount vs. Group’s 7-years historical average.
Upside risks Signs of improved performance for IKEA (rising sales and improving margins), Intersport/Athete Foot, as well as the introduction of new IKEA outlets (none included in our new set of forecasts) would justify earnings upgrades and higher valuation for the group, in our view. New business ventures and/or licensing agreements could be a major catalyst for the stock going forward.
Downside risks Losing the IKEA license or keeping the license on worse terms (regarding procurement of merchandise and royalties on sales); a deterioration of same store IKEA sales due to the austerity measures in Greece and recession; lower operating margins for IKEA; tax charges on previous fiscal years; additional windfall taxes; additional VAT hikes; working capital overshooting; a prolonged (let alone harsher) recession in Greece and/or Cyprus; additional austerity measures that put pressure on disposable income and spending

2Q 2015 results: Frigoglass reported revenues from continuing operations (i.e. from the cool business) of EUR 111.2mn (+1.2%), EBITDA of EUR 12.0mn (-8.8%) and adj. net loss of EUR 1.2mn from losses of EUR 0.35mn last year. The results were spot on our estimates; we were expecting revenues of EUR 111.1mn, EBITDA of EUR 12.1mn and net loss of EUR 1.0mn.
Outlook: The outlook in cool remains rather unfavourable. However we are optimistic that in 2016, the group will return to profitability after three years of restructurings and streamlining of its asset base. The sale of the glass (proceeds at USD 225mn, to be concluded by end-2015)will allow a fast deleveraging of the balance sheet, while it will also take pressure off the cash flow (glass is a capital intensive business) and the P&L, allowing for much better normalized returns. Hence we think that when the cool market recovers, which is expected to be in full force in 2017, the benefit of running a single cool business will be even more pronounced.
Valuation/estimates: We expect Frigoglass to report a net loss of EUR 12mn in 2015, turning to a small profit in 2016. However we think that there is upside risk, if we see the recent trend of increased sales to the Coke system stabilizing or even increasing. We are buyers on the stock with a price target of EUR 3.0/share.
Upside risks: increased consume confidence in Europe, which leads to increased capex by bottlers and brewers, , further drop in input costs, stabilization or strengthening of EM currencies like RUB, hefty payout due to the sale of glass sometime in the next quarters.
Downside risks: further macro deterioration in Europe and in other key markets, increase in input costs.
Company description: Frigoglass is the global leader in Ice Cold Merchandisers. Its main client is the Coke system and a number of other blue chip players like brewers. The group has operations in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Recently the group launched the Frigoglass Service Operation, which operates across 4 continents in 13 locations delivering value added service solutions.

EBITDA margin rose to 38.5% from 37.0% in Q2 ’14. The Greek mobile reported service revenue decline of 4.6% yoy and EBITDA margin contraction of 90 bps yoy to 36.3%, on weak economic environment in Greece. Telecom Romania reported EBITDA decline of 42% yoy as Q2 ‘14 included Eur8.5 mn in revenues from disposal of real estate and due to increased expansion-related costs. Romania mobile reported a decline in service revenues of 1.8% yoy and EBITDA margin of 21.8%, down 370 bps yoy on high distribution costs. OTE reported FCF of Eur106.1 mn (+6.5% yoy). At end-June 2015, OTE had net debt of Eur1.05 bn or c0.8x EBITDA and cash balance of Eur1.08 bn, the bulk of which is held overseas as OTE will use Eur629 mn to repay the bond that matures on May 2016.
Outlook: The positive fixed-line trends should continue being helped by the slow-down in line losses, improving competitive environment and growing broadband and pay-TV subscriber numbers. EBITDA should be supported by the top line improvement and cost cutting. At end-June, OTE completed a VES for more than 600 people expected to yield Eur30 mn of annual savings. We would expect the decline in mobile revenues to continue due to lower consumer spending. The bank holiday and the capital controls initially led to a deterioration in the working capital, which has started normalizing. At Q2 ‘15 conference call, management said that recurring FCF should end up close to the initial target of Eur0.5 bn, partly subject to clearing of accruals by state entities (the Greek state accounts for 5%-10% of fixed-line revenues). Management also reiterated capex target of Eur0.5 bn, with room to postpone or scale down projects.
Valuation: Our DCF-based SoTPs model provides a TP of Eur9.0 as of end-2015, which values the group at 3.9x 2015E EBITDA . The model values the domestic fixed-line business at 4.5x 2015E EBITDA; the Greek mobile at 3.9x 2015E EBITDA; Telecom Romania at 4.6x 2015E EBITDA (total EV of Eur622 mn); the Romanian mobile at 5.5x 2015E EBITDA and the Albanian mobile at 4.7x 215E EBITDA. We have used a rf of 8.0% for the Greek operations. In terms of valuation sensitivity to the rf, for every 1% change in the rf, TP changes by c8.0%.
Upside risks: Key drivers of the domestic telecoms market are rising broadband and pay-TV penetration, regulatory stabilization and consolidation activity. The aforementioned benefits should be accentuated by the recovery of the economy.
Downside risks: OTE derives 75% of its revenues and 80% of its EBITDA in Greece. Weak consumer, govt and corporate spending should affect revenues, EBITDA and cash flows. OTE is also subject to regulatory risks. In case of currency mismatch, the company’s profitability and ability to meet the 2018 and 2020 maturities of Eur700 mn each could be affected.
Company description OTE has fixed-line market share of 56.7% with 2.7 mn retail access lines, broadband market share of 43.6% with 1.43 mn broadband retail subscribers and 377k TV subscribers. It owns 54% of Telecom Romania (2.16 m voice lines, 1.2 mn broadband subscribers, 1.4 mn TV subscribers) with the remaining being held by the Romanian govt. It has mobile operations in Greece (Cosmote has c50% market share with 7.4 mn subscribers); in Romania (Telecom Romania Mobile has a market share of c23% and 5.86 mn subscribers); and in Albania (Telecom Albania has 2.0 mn subscribers).

….on the back of a deteriorating economic environment in Greece Q3 14/15 results / FY Sales pre-announcement Jumbo announced a good set of 3Q14/15 results that stood broadly in line with our estimates with the exception of EBITDA that came in 3.4% above our estimates on slightly better than expected gross profit margin. Sales came in at EUR 105mn up by 11.5%; we point out good growth momentum in Greece with sales growth of 7.9%, while both Cyprus and Bulgaria recorded double digit growth; Romania’s sales came in at EUR 4.6mn vs. EUR 1.9mn the year ago period supported by the opening of three new stores. During 3Q Jumbo recorded gross profit of EUR 57.6mn up 8.8% with the respective margin shaping at 54.8% (-132bps). Gross profit margin contraction was fully expected due to adverse FX movements that should intensify towards year end. EBITDA stood at EUR 20.6mn up 17% and 3.4% above our estimate for EUR 20mn. EBITDA margin expanded by c. 92bps benefited by better than expected gross profit margin and slightly lower Opex as % of sales. Net Profit stood at EUR 11.9mn up 12.7% and in line with our estimate. Cash flow generation remained resilient with OCF standing at EUR 78.2mn vs. EUR 81.8mn the year ago period, due to payment of higher taxes. On 30-July-2015 Jumbo announced that FY 2014/15 sales came in at EUR 582.55mn posting an increase of 7.5%.
Valuation We reduce our estimates by c. 4-6% on top line and Operating profitability and by c. 7-9% on bottom line to incorporate the deteriorating economic environment and the reduced disposable income in Greece after the imposition of the capital controls, as well as the increased corporate tax rate in the country. We remind that c. 75% of Group’s operating profitability is derived from Greece. We use a combination of DCF method and P/E multiples to derive our target price. Our DCF model generates a target price of EUR 10.70/share with the implied P/E ratio for 2016/17 standing at 12.0x, slightly above Group’s 10-year historical average of 10.8x. Our targeted P/E ratio for 2015/16 projected earnings stands at 10.8x (in line with Group’s 10-years historical average) with a derived target price of EUR 9.30/share. The average of the two methods derives a target price of EUR 10.00/share with a targeted P/E of 11.5x Group’s 2016/17 earnings. Our target price implies an upside potential of 35.8% from current levels.
Upside risks Apart from lower bond yields (ie lower sovereign risks), faster or more rollouts and higher-than-expected same-store sales (on improved customer visits and/or higher spending per customer) are the two main factors that could place upside risk on our estimates.
Downside risks Medium term, the investment case depends on domestic private consumption, the timing of new store rollouts, and the pace of expansion in Romania. Additional taxation of any form would hurt earnings and valuation. Jumbo’s management has cautioned investors over the impact from VAT hikes, COGS inflation, higher freights and a weaker Euro vis-à-vis the USD on the group’s gross profit margin. We also highlight risks associated with overdependence on Chairman Vakakis and the remote event of important injury from a non-branded product malfunction.
Company description Jumbo is the largest retailer and wholesaler of toys, infant products, books & stationery and seasonal, home & mother opportunity products in Greece. It enjoys a 40% share in the domestic market. The Company’s distribution network at the end of June 2015 will account for 72 retail stores, 53 in Greece, 5 in Cyprus, 8 in Bulgaria and 6 in Romania with a net sales surface of c. 404,103m2.

2Q 2015 results: Motor Oil reported a strong set of results with clean EBITDA at EUR 168.2mn up by 4.7x and clean net profit of EUR 89mn vs losses of EUR 12.1mn in 2Q 2014. The dramatic improvement in benchmark margins (+2.4x YoY) led the refining margin at USD 9.1/bbl compared to USD 3.7/bbl in 2Q 2015. 1H clean EBITDA stood at EUR 281.5mn (+311%) and clean net profit landed at EUR 137.4mn vs EUR 11.4mn losses last year.
Outlook: Benchmark margins remained strong in July-August and should remain on elevated levels in the short term , courtesy of the consistently low crude levels and the favourable EURUSD rate. Motor Oil is hedged against Greek woes by generating c69% of its sales through exports.
Valuation/Estimates: We raised our estimates on both refining and trading margins, which led to a blended margin of USD 8.2/bbl vs USD 6.8/bbl previously. As a result, we now estimate the refinery to report EUR 252.4mn in clean net profit or EUR 2.28/share, a jump of 28% compared to our previous estimates and 2.4x higher vs the 2014 reading of EUR 105.4mn. Valuation-wise we raise the WACC in our DCF model to 12.3% from 11.7% previously to account for the increased Greek risk. Our model now returns a target price of EUR 12.0/share, up from EUR 11.0. We are strong Buyers on the stock.
Upside Risks: Further improvement in benchmark margins, further strengthening of the USD vs the EUR, macro normalization in Greece, which could reduce the chunk of the domestic sales, which command higher margins compared to exports.
Downside risks: spikes or plunge in crude prices, strengthening of the EUR , deterioration in benchmark margins.
Company description: Motor Oil operates one of the most complex refineries in Europe with a total capacity of over 180,000 bbl/d. The Nelson complexity index of the refinery stands at 11.54.

VLTs Roll-out will be the focal point
Q2 ‘15 results OPAP announced a good set of 2Q15 results that stood above our estimates across all lines due to strong KINO performance and lower than expected payout ratio. Revenues came in at EUR 1,042.5mn increased by 10.1%. We point out the better than expected performance of the two key games of the Group, KINO and Stihima and the strong performance of Joker. Stihima wagers reached EUR 319.7mn decreased by 12% due to tough comps related to the World Cup event in the year ago period. Payout ratio for the period stood at 72.2% vs. 72.7% the year ago period. Kino’s wagers reached EUR 495.4mn up by 3.2%. KINO’s payout stood at 69% vs. 69.3% the year ago period. Hellenic Lotteries reported revenues of EUR 113.4mn c. in line with our estimate of EUR 111mn; Hellenic Lotteries posted a similar run rate to 1Q15. GGR for the period stood at EUR 340.8mn up by 15.1%, beating our estimate by 3.9%. EBITDA came in at EUR 93.2mn, up by 35.8%, beating our estimate by 4.3% due to increased operating leverage that offsets increased distribution costs from the full consolidation of Hellenic Lotteries. Net Profit for the period stood at EUR 51.9mn vs. EUR 15.6mn the year ago period. The Group will distribute an interim dividend of EUR 0.17/share. Cash Flow from Operations stood at EUR 74.3mn vs. EUR 129.7mn the year ago period despite higher operating profitability due to payments acceleration to minimize future operational risk.
Valuation We reduce our estimates on OPAP to incorporate the temporary suspension of the VLT’s project due to the stricter regulatory framework, the increased corporate tax rate and the deteriorating economic environment in Greece after the imposition of the capital controls. We are now modelling the launch of the VLTs project at some point during 1Q16. We value OPAP by employing a combination of Sum–of-the-Parts valuation with Discounted Cash flow models for each business segment separately (70% weight) and a multiples-based valuation on a targeted 2016 EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.0x (15% weight), 12.5% below peers, as well as a targeted 2016 P/E of 13.5x ( 15% weight) slightly below peers. The average weighted target price of the three methods stands at EUR 10.80/share that implies an upside potential of 47.4% from current levels. We thus maintain our Outperform rating.
Upside risks New projects to perform stronger than expected; New betting options, such as live betting, to help Stihima sales; VLT’ daily gross win to surpass consensus’ expectations; International expansion could generate synergies in lottery and betting operation; Participation in cross border ‘Euro Millions’-type lotteries
Downside risks Permanent suspension or further delays in the launch of the VLTs project; Deepening of the recession in the Greek economy; Agents’ strikes in case of disagreements related to the fees of the land-based business or the new games; Risk of losing market share from illegal Internet betting competition; VLTs and monitor games to cannibalize KINO sales/higher Capex needs for new games
Company description OPAP is a leading Greek gaming company that has a dominant position in the Greek legal gaming market with a 71% market share. It was established in 1958 and holds the sole concession, recently extended up to 2030, to operate and manage 11 numerical lottery and sports betting games in Greece. The Company offers its games through the largest land-based distribution network of 4,869 POS in Greece and Cyprus. OPAP recently acquired the licence for the deployment of 35,000 VLT’s in gaming halls in Greece; 16,500 will be directly operated by OPAP while another 18,500 will be subcontracted to third parties. The operation of the VLT’s is currently suspended but we expect it to be launched during 1Q16. An OPAP led consortium also acquired the licence for the offering of scratch and lottery tickets for a 12-years period.

2Q 2015 results: PPC reported Q2 revenues of EUR 1,364.7mn (+1.5%), EBITDA of EUR 326.9mn, a surge of 37.2%, which expanded the margin by 6.3pps. The reason for the margin expansion was mainly the 29.6% lower fuel expense or EUR 76.5mn on absolute numbers, which in turn fed into the bottom line and led to net profits in the tune of EUR 49.9mn vs EUR 15mn last year.
Outlook: The management downgraded its guidance and now expects sales of EUR 5.8mn (electricity revenues at EUR 5.6bn) and an EBITDA margin of 19.5-20.5% from sales of EUR 5.9bn (electricity revenues at EUR 5.7bn) and a margin of 21-22% previously. Given that the assumption on brent oil price and the EURUSD used by PPC is more favourable than the one used in the previous guidance, it seems that they are assuming significant market share losses in the 2H of the year. In any case the environment is bound to deteriorate due to weakening macros. There should be pressure from over dues building up, which the utility is proactively trying to mitigate. In the mid term, the new government and the implementation of the new MoU could provide some boost on the stock in case there will be indeed sale of assets and full liberalization of the market. In this case, the investment story of PPC and consequently its valuation could alter significantly. This binary nature of the case is making us cautious on the stock.
Valuation/estimates: We have updated our estimates in light of the Q2 results and the guidance of the management. We stand slightly higher in terms of sales, at EUR 5.84bn vs the guidance of EUR 5.8bn, while our EBITDA margin stands at 20.2%, at the high end of the range provided by the management. All in, we cut our bottom line by 42% in 2015 and by 10% in 2016. Our new target price stands at EUR 4.0/share vs EUR 5.0 previously. Our exercise does not take into consideration any impact from a possible introduction of the NOME auctions and/or sale of any asset. We retain our Neutral rating on PPC.
Upside risks: even lower input costs, reduction of over dues and bad debt, CO2 free allocation reinstated, privatization plans go ahead.
Downside risks: further macro deterioration, spike in input costs, further build up of over dues and bad debt, rising CO 2 prices, regulatory risk (unfavourable lignite and hydro auctions)
Company description: PPC is the incumbent electricity utility in Greece with a market share in supply in excess of 97% and a market share in generation of more than 70%. The company has installed capacity of c12GW.

A second set of reforms was voted on July 22 which included a) the adoption of the Code of Civil Procedure which should accelerate the judicial process and reduce costs; and b) the incorporation of the BRRD into the Greek law.
The new up to Eur86bn ESM program was approved by all relevant institutions on August 19, allowing for the disbursement of the first tranche of Eur13bn plus Eur10bn for the banks’ recap transferred into a segregated ESM account. An additional amount of Eur3.0bn will be disbursed in September-October, subject to the fulfillment of certain prior actions. The proceeds will be used by the govt for the clearing of arrears.
For the continuation of program disbursements including the Eur3.0bn mentioned above, Greece is required to proceed with pension reforms including the implementation of zero deficit clause or alternative measures by October 2015; the adoption of policies to fully offset the impact of the Constitutional Court ruling on the 2012 pension reform; adoption of the OECD toolkit; the establishment of the new privatization fund by end-October with the aim to be fully operational by end-2015; the adoption of decisive actions including the necessary regulatory changes to address the issue of NPLs, in steps until end-2016 , complete the recapitalization of Greek banks by end-2015 and strengthen the governance of HFSF and the banks.

FFA and MoU highlights
ESM prepared the FFA (the Financial Facility Agreement) which sets the terms and conditions of the new loan to Greece. The key condition is the MoU (draft agreed at staff level – 11 August 2015) which was agreed by the Institutions and Greece
The overall financial envelope of the ESM program amounts to Eur86 bn which includes a bank buffer of Eur25 bn which could be used to address bank recapitalization costs for viable banks and resolution costs for non-viable banks. ESM may not disburse the entire amount as IMF is also expected to participate; privatization receipts may also reduce the amount to be disbursed; finally, market access towards the second half of the program may also reduce the amount to be disbursed by ESM
The loan will be disbursed in several tranches during the 3-year period with an avg maturity of 32.5 years. The interest rate will be around 1.0%. The loan proceeds will be used for debt servicing, banks, clearing of arrears and built up of cash buffers
Debt sustainability can be achieved through the implementation of the program and other debt-related measures excluding nominal haircuts – after the positive completion of the first program review, the Eurogroup can consider measures so that gross financing needs can remain at a sustainable level (meaning debt servicing approach)
IMF’s participation in the new program is conditional on two issues: a) specification of fiscal, structural and financial sector reforms such as the pension reform ; and b) the debt sustainability
ESM board approved the new loan program on August 19, unlocking the first tranche to Greece on August 20.
The first tranche amounts to Eur26 bn comprised of two sub-tranches. The first sub-tranche amounts to Eur16 bn, of which a) Eur13 bn were disbursed in August 20 to be used for the repayment of GGBs held by ECB amounting to Eur3.2 bn; the repayment of the Eur7.2 bn bridge loan that was granted in July; some other debt repayments of cEur1.6 bn and clearance of arrears and other state uses of cEur1.0 bn and b) Eur3.0 bn will be paid in Sept and Oct subject to certain prior-actions and will be also used for the clearing of state arrears. The second sub-tranche amounts to Eur10.0 bn and will be reserved for banks. It will not be transferred to Greece and will be kept in a segregated account at the ESM. It can be disbursed following a request by SSM, an assessment by DGComp and an approval by ESM.
A second tranche for banks of up to Eur15 bn can be made available after the first review and no later than 15 Nov, subject to the completion of the AQR and stress test. The specific amount will initially be transferred to a segregated ESM account and can be released upon approval of the ESM board
MoU highlights
Primary balance targets: -0.25% in 2015, +0.5% in 2016, +1.75% in 2017 and +3.5% in 2018
Pension system reform by October 2015 including the implementation of the zero deficit clause or mutually agreeable alternative measures. By December 2015, Greece should also integrate all social security funds under a single entity (IKA), establish a new board and management team and create a common pool of funds that will be fully operational by end-2016
Banking sector - MoU requires recapitalization of the banks, measures to enhance insolvency framework and a significant improvement of the governance of the banks and the HFSF. Following the results of the AQR and the stress tests and the assessment of capital needs of the four banks by ECB and the submission of capital plans by the banks, any remaining identified capital shortfalls will be addressed fully by end-2015. The bail in instrument will apply to senior bondholders, while bail in of depositors is excluded. The law relating to govt guarantees on DTA will be amended aiming to limit the link between the banks and the state. Greece should take urgently steps to tackle the NPL problem through the development of necessary instruments including the opening of the market for NPL servicing and disposal and exploring the possibility of a bad bank
Privatizations fund – govt should endorse the establishment of the new privatization fund by the end of October with the aim to be operational by end 2015. It will be established in Greece; it will be supervised by the relevant European institutions; the fund’s task will be to manage valuable assets through privatizations and other means with the aim to increase their value. The shares of Greek banks after their recapitalization will be transferred to the fund. The target is for the fund to release Eur50 bn, of which Eur25 bn will be used for the repayment of the recapitalization of banks and 50% of the remaining Eur25 bn will be used to decrease the debt to GDP ratio and the remaining 50% will be used for investments . Privatization proceeds (excluding bank shares) over the period 2015-2017 are analyzed as follows: Eur1.4 bn in 2015, Eur3.7 bn in 2016 and Eur1.3 bn in 2017. The govt should announce the binding bid dates for Piraeus and Thessaloniki ports by end- October
