Down to earth in price and in nature...<br />

We initiate our coverage for Celebi Hava Servisi<br />

A.S. with an “<strong>Outperform</strong>” recommendation. Our<br />

2008-end target share price of YTL14.2 offers an<br />

attractive 94% upside potential over the current<br />

price. Celebi came under pressure in 2007, mainly<br />

due to loss of Antalya operations and tenders<br />

abroad. We believe Celebi does not deserve its<br />

current discount given its stable cash generation<br />

with its current operations and mid term prospects.<br />

• An attractive M&A target. The Turkish ground<br />

handling sector is shared by Celebi and <strong>HAVA</strong>S.<br />

We believe a strategic partner may be attracted to<br />

Celebi’s know how in the business and its stable<br />

cash generation. The aviation sectors in both Turkey<br />

and Hungary offer strong growth potential and<br />

Celebi offers exposure without the risk to high oil<br />

prices.<br />

• Planned IPO of <strong>HAVA</strong>S in 4Q08 may positively<br />

affect Celebi shares. During a share transfer in<br />

2007, <strong>HAVA</strong>S was valued at an EV/EBITDA of 10x<br />

while Celebi is trading at a 3x EV/EBITDA based on<br />

its 2008E prospective earnings.<br />

• Newsflow will keep shares hot. New additions to<br />

the portfolio may be announced soon; Celebi is<br />

working on new deals, potentially extending the<br />

scope of its ground handling services. Celebi is actively<br />

pursuing tenders in the Middle East, India and<br />

Europe, where the Governments are planning to<br />

privatize airport operations.<br />

• Stable dividends. Celebi distributed 70% of its net<br />

profit in the past 3 years while producing a gross<br />

dividend yield of 14% this year. We expect the stable<br />

dividend distribution to continue going forward.<br />

• Margins to remain strong. Celebi’s revenues are<br />

mostly € based. We expect Celebi’s revenues to<br />

reach YTL311mn this year, while the Company<br />

generates an EBITDA of YTL90mn in 2008 and an<br />

EBITDA margin of 29%, marking an improvement<br />

of 1.1pp YoY.<br />

<strong>CELEBI</strong> <strong>HAVA</strong> <strong>SERVISI</strong> A.S.<br />

INVESTMENT CASE<br />

Attractive price. Our 2008-end target share price of YTL14.2 based on<br />

DCF analysis offers an attractive 94% upside potential over the current<br />

price. We value Celebi only with its current operations, which may appear<br />

conservative given the potential tenders in the sector. Celebi<br />

came under pressure in 2007, mainly due to loss of Antalya operations<br />

and tenders abroad. We believe Celebi does not deserve its current<br />

discount given its stable cash generation with its current operations and<br />

mid term prospects.<br />

Margins to remain strong. We expect Celebi’s margins to remain<br />

strong this year as € denominated revenues account for approximately<br />

70% of the total revenues, with US$ denominated revenues comprising<br />

a 19% share and a 12% share for YTL revenues. Meanwhile, 75% of<br />

the expenses are based in YTL terms. The improvement in the air traffic<br />

and passenger numbers this year coupled with strong € will positively<br />

affect profitability. We expect Celebi’s revenues to reach<br />

YTL311mn in 2008, with an EBITDA of YTL90mn and EBITDA margin<br />

of 29%, marking an improvement of 1pp over the 2007 performance.<br />

The aviation sectors in both Turkey and Hungary, where Celebi<br />

operates, offer strong growth potential. The passenger traffic grew<br />

by a CAGR of 14.2% between 2003-2007 in spite of shocks such as<br />

the Iraq war, the SARS virus in Turkey and a terrorist attack in the<br />

south coast of Turkey. The deregulation of the aviation sector at the<br />

end of 2003, spawning new airlines, boosted domestic passenger traffic.<br />

In 2007, passenger traffic reached 66.5mn, an increase of 13.1%<br />

YoY. This number remains quite low considering the country’s 70mn<br />

population. According to forecasts compiled by IATA and Eurocontrol,<br />

Turkey and Hungary are expected to maintain growth of 5-8% going<br />

forward. Celebi offers exposure to this growth potential without the risk<br />

to high oil prices. Celebi serves in 25 airports in Turkey which represent<br />

93% of commercial flights and passenger traffic.<br />

The high bids in tenders in 2007 for operating rights of Turkish airport<br />

terminals confirm positive growth expectations. In April 2007, the<br />

consortium of Fraport and Ictas won the auction for the right to operate<br />

Antalya Airport's three terminals for 17 years with a US$3,196mn bid.<br />

In October 2007, the Limak - GMR Infrastructure Ltd.- Malaysia Airport<br />

Holding Berhad Consortium won the auction for the right to operate<br />

Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen Airport for 20 years with a €1,932mn bid.<br />

Including the VAT and the investment requirement, the total amount<br />

reaches approximately US$3.5bn.<br />

<strong>CELEBI</strong> <strong>HAVA</strong> <strong>SERVISI</strong> A.S.<br />

An attractive M&A target. There are high barriers to enter the ground<br />

handling sector as the law requires 51% local ownership. Celebi and<br />

<strong>HAVA</strong>S are the only companies with an “A” group license, necessary to<br />

operate in ground handling sector in Turkey. To obtain an “A” group<br />

license, a company should operate at least in three international airports,<br />

have a paid in capital of at least US$3mn and meet minimum<br />

personnel and equipment requirements as required by the law.<br />

We believe a strategic partner may be attracted to Celebi’s know how<br />

in the business and its stable cash generation. Celebi’s main shareholder<br />

is Celebi Holding with 53% stake at the end of 1Q08 while members<br />

of the Celebioglu family hold a 25% stake. The remaining 22% is<br />

freely floated on the stock market. In March 2006, Celebioglu family<br />

members sold a 6% stake where the 100% of the Company was valued<br />

at US$335mn. A strategic partner may also strengthen Celebi’s competitive<br />

positioning in the domestic and neighbouring markets.<br />

In addition, planned IPO of <strong>HAVA</strong>S in 4Q08 may positively affect<br />

Celebi shares. In February, the CEO of TAV Airports, the parent company<br />

of <strong>HAVA</strong>S, stated that TAV was seeking a strategic partner for<br />

<strong>HAVA</strong>S and <strong>HAVA</strong>S might go public in 4Q08 or early 2009. TAV Airports<br />

paid US$115mn for a 40% stake in <strong>HAVA</strong>S and increased its<br />

stake to 100% in 2007. The transaction implies a valuation of 10x EV/<br />

EBITDA for <strong>HAVA</strong>S while Celebi is trading at a 3x EV/EBITDA based<br />

on its 2008E prospective earnings. <strong>HAVA</strong>S may even be valued more<br />

generously in a prospective IPO, positively affecting Celebi shares.<br />

Newsflow will keep shares hot. Celebi is actively pursuing tenders<br />

abroad; especially in India. In India, the Government plans to allow<br />

more private players into the booming aviation industry. According to<br />

Airports Authority of India (AAI) data, passenger traffic during 2007-08<br />

has crossed 100 million mark and reached to 116.87 million, up by<br />

21.2% YoY. Thus India has become 9th biggest Aviation market in the<br />

world. India’s position has improved from 11th during the year 2006 to<br />

9th during 2007. Meanwhile, the total aircraft movements witnessed an<br />

increase of 21.3% YoY, from 1,078 thousand movements to 1,308<br />

thousand movements during the period April-March 2007-08 as compared<br />

to the aircraft movement handled during April-March 2006-07.<br />

Celebi submitted expression of Interest to AAI to participate in ground<br />

handling works at metro airports in India. Celebi also submitted Expression<br />

of Interest to GVK to participate in ground handling works tender in<br />

CSIA, Mumbai. Thanks to the operations in Hungary, Celebi also<br />

gained the know how to navigate abroad.<br />

Risks… Apart from industry specific risks, such as slowdown in air/<br />

passenger traffic and terrorist activities, Celebi is vulnerable to Turkey’s<br />

political & macro economic risks. Meanwhile, since revenues are<br />

mostly fx based, while costs are in local currencies, strengthening in<br />

YTL and HUF would negatively affect margins.<br />

<strong>CELEBI</strong> <strong>HAVA</strong> <strong>SERVISI</strong> A.S.<br />

The Company in Brief<br />

Celebi Hava Servisi A.S. (Celebi, The Company) offers ground services<br />

to domestic, foreign and charter airlines in Turkey. Celebi was established<br />

at Ankara Esenboga Airport by a Turkish Air Force pilot, Ali<br />

Cevat Celebioglu in 1958 as the first private ground services company.<br />

Today, Celebi serves in 25 airports handling 93% of commercial flights<br />

and passenger traffic in Turkey.<br />

Celebi’s main shareholder is Celebi Holding with 53% stake at the end<br />

of 1Q08 while members of the Celebioglu family hold a 25% stake. The<br />

remaining 22% is freely floated on the stock market. Celebi is the flagship<br />

of Celebi Holding. Celebi Holding also operates in the Fast Food,<br />

Tourism and Transportation Services and Sea Port Management segments.<br />

Celebi Ground Services has 3 subsidiaries; Celebi Security Systems<br />

and Consultancy (in which it holds a 94.8% stake), Celebi Ground<br />

Handling Hungary (70% stake) and Celebi-IC Antalya (49.99% stake).<br />

Celebi employed 4,153 people as of 31 March 2008.<br />

VALUATION<br />

Our US$256mn target Mcap for Celebi is based on DCF analysis, assuming<br />

a 1% terminal growth rate. We applied the yield on the 10-year<br />

Eurobond as the risk free rate in our model, while assuming a market<br />

risk premium of 9% in calculating the cost of equity. Accordingly, we<br />

assume a 11% WACC for Celebi, gradually increasing to 14%. In our<br />

valuation, we value Celebi only with its current operations, which may<br />

appear conservative given the potential tenders in the sector.<br />

MAIN ASSUMPTIONS & FORECASTS<br />

Revenues<br />

<strong>CELEBI</strong> <strong>HAVA</strong> <strong>SERVISI</strong> A.S.<br />

Celebi’s revenue segments are ground handling services, terminal operations<br />

and security services. We forecast Celebi’s consolidated revenues<br />

to reach YTL311mn in 2008, up by 13% YoY.<br />

Ground Handling Services…<br />

IATA and Eurocontrol<br />

forecast that Turkey and<br />

Hungary will sustain 5-8%<br />

growth going forward.<br />

Celebi provides ground services both in Turkey and Hungary. The<br />

Company serves 25 airports in Turkey and Budapest Airport in Hungary.<br />

The deregulation of the aviation sector in Turkey at the end of<br />

2003, which spawned a wave of new airlines, boosted domestic passenger<br />

traffic. According to forecasts compiled by IATA and Eurocontrol,<br />

Turkey and Hungary are expected to maintain growth of 5-8% going<br />

forward, and we have based our projections on their forecasts.<br />

We project that Celebi<br />

will service 151,000<br />

flights in Turkey and<br />

24,000 flights in Hungary<br />

in 2008.<br />

Celebi carries out the ground handling services for Turkish Airlines<br />

(THY) at 14 different airports. Apart from the high organic growth,<br />

THY’s strategy to outsource ramp services to third party ground handlers<br />

has bolstered Celebi’s revenues and contributed significantly to<br />

its capacity utilization ratio. Celebi provided ground handling services to<br />

44,794 THY domestic and international flights during 2007. In 2008,<br />

Turkish Airlines reached an agreement with Celebi to carry out ground<br />

services operations at Trabzon, Van, Diyarbakır, Erzurum, Malatya,<br />

Samsun, Mardin, Erzincan, Hatay, Kahramanmaras and Denizli airports<br />

for a period of 3 years. The agreement may be extended up to 5<br />

years. Celebi is expected to serve 12,000 THY flights during 2008 in<br />

these respective airports. Overall, we expect Celebi to service 151,000<br />

flights in Turkey in 2008.<br />

the business recorded a stable performance in 2006-2007, despite the<br />

effects of the fire at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Celebi has a 5,000 m 2<br />

warehouse in Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport and 6,750 m 2 area, also in<br />

Gunesli, Istanbul - close to Ataturk Airport. Celebi completed the construction<br />

Celebi Ground Handling Hungary was taken over by Celebi in October<br />

2006. Celebi paid €25.6mn for the shares and €7.3mn for the machinery.<br />

In 2007, Celebi Ground Handling Hungary provided services to<br />

22,273 flights, marking 25% YoY growth with the addition of Lufthansa<br />

to its flights. Lufthansa represents around 8% of air traffic in Budapest<br />

Ferihegy Airport. We expect a 10% growth in flights served in Hungary<br />

in 2008, thus increasing the number of flights served to around 24,000.<br />

Ground services revenues are mainly € denominated. In our projections,<br />

unit revenue in Turkey is lower than in Hungary, as THY and domestic<br />

flights’ charges are lower when compared to international flights.<br />

We expect a higher growth rate in domestic sector, which will result in a<br />

decrease in unit revenue in the medium term. Meanwhile, we also expect<br />

a decline in unit revenues as airlines become more aggressive in<br />

their negotiations due to the rise in oil prices.<br />

Celebi also generates revenues from other aviation services such as<br />

bridge, Gpu (ground power units) and trade revenues such as rental<br />

revenues from retail spaces, advertising, and commission revenues. In<br />

2006, DHMI allocated passenger/flight traffic on a 40/60 share to International<br />

terminals No:1 and No:2, respectively. Also in 2006, the SARS<br />

virus and a terrorist attack on Turkey’s south coast negatively affected<br />

the tourism sector. A considerable improvement in tourism numbers in<br />

2007 compared to 2006 offset the decline in 2006. Growth for 2008 is<br />

expected to be in line with 2007. We expect Celebi to generate<br />

US$42mn revenues from terminal operations in 2008.<br />

Security…<br />

Finally, Celebi’s 95% subsidiary Celebi Guvenlik provides security services.<br />

Celebi Guvenlik is one of the 2 companies licensed to operate at<br />

Turkish airports. Celebi Security serves 28 airlines including THY,<br />

Aeroflot, Lufthansa, KLM and CSA Chech Airlines. Celebi Guvenlik has<br />

operated at Antalya International Airport Terminal-2 since 2005. In addition,<br />

Celebi Guvenlik provides cargo and bonded warehouse services<br />

for Celebi and provides security for Atlasjet’s facilities. Celebi Guvenlik<br />

has also been providing security services at Antalya Port since May<br />

2007. Throughout our projection period, we estimate security revenues<br />

will grow in line with GDP growth. We estimate US$4mn in revenues<br />

from security services in 2008.<br />

Profitability - EBITDA<br />

We expect Celebi’s EBITDA to reach YTL90mn this year with an<br />

EBITDA margin of 29.0%, marking a YoY improvement 1.1pp. In terms<br />

of currency breakdown, Celebi’s revenues are denominated in €, US$<br />

and YTL terms, with € denominated revenues accounting for approximately<br />

70% of the total revenues, with US$ denominated revenues<br />

comprising a 19% share and a 12% share for YTL revenues. Meanwhile,<br />

75% of the expenses are based in YTL terms. The strong Lira<br />

and HUF squeezed profitability last year. In addition, the operations in<br />

Budapest diluted profitability margins on a consolidated basis. Celebi’s<br />

operating performance was also dented by the relatively mild winter,<br />

and thus the substantial decrease in highly lucrative de-icing revenues.<br />

In addition, costs related to new projects, such as appraisals of the<br />

concession tenders for Antalya Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport,<br />

have led to an increase in non operating expenses in 2007. However,<br />

all in all, we expect the growth in the number of flights and passengers<br />

to support profitability this year.<br />

Despite improved efficiencies, we expect Celebi’s EBITDA margin to<br />

decline in 2009 and especially in 2010 due to the end of the concession<br />

of Antalya Airport Terminal 2. Yet, the decline will be limited in absolute<br />

terms thanks to improved efficiencies and organic growth.<br />

Bottom line<br />

The appreciation of local currencies has dented Celebi’s operating margins<br />

but also reduced its financial expenses, which positively affected<br />

the net profit last year despite one off expenses related to tenders. In<br />

2008, we expect Celebi’s net profit to reach YTL34mn, with a net profit<br />

margin of 10.8%, an improvement of 1.3pp when compared to 2007.<br />

Capital Expenditures<br />

Celebi’s annual maintenance capex stands at around €3mn. The Company<br />

plans an additional €4-5mn in capex for 2008 and 2009 for the<br />

construction of warehouses in Izmir and Ankara.<br />

1Q08 Financial Results<br />

Celebi reported a net loss of €3mn in its 1Q08 consolidated income<br />

statement. The first quarter of the year is generally the weakest quarter<br />

for Celebi due to seasonality. The YTL was stronger against the € and<br />

US$ in 1Q08 when compared to 1Q07, negatively affecting Celebi’s<br />

margins given that Celebi’s revenues are mostly FX based, while expenses<br />

are generally based in YTL. In addition, the depreciation of the<br />

YTL at the end of the first quarter hit the bottom line, due to the higher<br />

financial expenses written on the back of FX losses.<br />

Celebi posted €29mn of consolidated net revenues in 1Q08, representing<br />

an increase of 15% YoY. Celebi produced a gross margin of 11.1%<br />

and an EBITDA margin of 12.7% in 1Q08. The Company reported a<br />

loss at the operating level due to seasonality and depressed by higher<br />

depreciation expenses, EBITDA jumped by 43% YoY to reach €4mn.<br />

Celebi’s net debt position of €21mn at the end of 4Q07 increased to<br />

€32mn at the end of 1Q08.<br />
