5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Executive summaryOutlookThe <strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate market <strong>of</strong>fers attractive long-term prospects in an acutelyundersupply environment, supported by solid fundamentals such as a large and growingpopulation (the largest in MENA), a high proportion <strong>of</strong> young people and increasingdisposable income. The capital, Cairo, is benefiting immensely from the urbanization anddevelopment <strong>of</strong> satellites (East/West Cairo), where the population density is lower and quality<strong>of</strong> life higher. Our analysis suggests that Cairo’s residential market will witness a widershortfall from 264k units (5% <strong>of</strong> demand) in 2009E to 730k (11%) by 2014E, <strong>of</strong> which c.35%stems from the mid to high income segments where our developers under coverageoperate.At first glance, by comparing price to income ratios for select cities in the world, it seemsthat a mid income apartment is still affordable. However, <strong>Egypt</strong>’s case is unique as it isprimarily a cash market with no access to mortgage for <strong>of</strong>f plan properties. Our analysissuggests stretched affordability for the mid-income segment after sharp property priceincreases (c.50-60% between 2007-Q1 <strong>2010</strong>). As a result we only see limited property priceappreciation in <strong>2010</strong>-11. Furthermore, we see short-term challenges for <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developerswith increasing risks, especially on the regulatory side. We believe the sector is exposed topotential negative outcome/news flow on the land acquisition process which could affectinvestor confidence on the <strong>Egypt</strong>ian story. While we do not expect major cancellations <strong>of</strong>land agreements as such a scenario would negatively impact the government’s credibility andput <strong>of</strong>f foreign investors, we see uncertainties dominating the <strong>Egypt</strong>ian story. Investorsshould closely monitor the upcoming events, especially the hearing <strong>of</strong> the Madinaty case on<strong>July</strong> 17 th <strong>2010</strong>. The election period could also trigger a ‘wait and see attitude’ among futurehomebuyers in their purchasing decisions. Overall we see a risk that ST challenges distractinvestors from the LT growth story.Our analysis shows that investors are valuing <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers without differentiatingrisks and quality/location <strong>of</strong> the landbank. With minimal land liabilities, differentiated/flexibledevelopment model, strongest balance sheet (EGP1.2bn net cash,40% <strong>of</strong> market cap.) and aquality/cheap landbank highly discounted by the market, <strong>SODIC</strong> is our best play. PHD is themost leveraged play on the property market with the highest outstanding land liabilities (1.2x2009 equity) and limited potential for property price increases, in our view. TMG <strong>of</strong>fers thebest exposure to the mid income segment. However, the potential outcome <strong>of</strong> litigation onits Madinaty land remains difficult to predict and adds risk to the investment case. We initiatewith a Buy on <strong>SODIC</strong>, Hold on TMG and PHD.ValuationWe value <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers on a SOTP basis. We value development properties usingDCF, while we limit our presales to 2012E. Investment properties are taken at 2009 BV whenthe property is immature; otherwise, we use comparative industry multiples to gross pr<strong>of</strong>it.Landbank is valued by benchmarking to 2007 auction prices in Cairo or taking appropriatediscounts (based on the quality/location <strong>of</strong> landbank) on our estimated NAV.Risks<strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers are exposed to: (1) regulatory risk on land agreements; (2) executionrisk; (3) availability <strong>of</strong> financing; (4) backlog cancellation/presales slowdown; (5) stretchedaffordability; (6) economic conditions; and (7) consumer confidence.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 3


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Investment strategy<strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers outperformed the CASE index in 2009Since their peaks in 2008, <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers’ share prices have plunged significantly in linewith global trends and have underperformed the respective stock indices. However, since2009, the trend has reversed and the real estate index has outperformed the CASE. This isprimarily due to the resilient pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> the real estate developers (solid backlog, low customerdefaults and low gearing), as physical demand for real estate remained strong on the back <strong>of</strong>a growing economy and acute undersupply.Figure 1: <strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate vs. CASE, beginning 2008(base 100)Figure 2: <strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate vs. CASE, beginning 2009(base 100)1<strong>2010</strong>080604020-30025020015010050-Jan-08Apr-08Jul-08Oct-08Jan-09Apr-09Jul-09Oct-09Jan-10Apr-10Jan-09Apr-09Jul-09Oct-09Jan-10Apr-10RE IndexCASERE IndexCASESource: Reuters, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: Reuters, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>After selling <strong>of</strong>f the sector as a whole in 2008, investors have been selective in their stockpicking in 2009, with TMG outperforming the sector. We believe TMG’s outperformance canbe attributed to 2 factors: (1) its positioning in the right segment (mid- to mid-upper income)where demand remains solid; and (2) its strong financial pr<strong>of</strong>ile, coupled with no outstandingliabilities (payment for Madinaty land to be made in kind, which is currently under litigation).PHD’s underperformance can be attributed to its outstanding land liabilities (1.2x 2009equity). <strong>SODIC</strong>’s underperformance can be attributed to the immature nature <strong>of</strong> its assets(mostly prime land) and high-end positioning (despite strong sales momentum and minimumcancellations in 2009).Figure 3: <strong>Egypt</strong> real estate equity performances, sinceMay 2008 (base 100)Figure 4: <strong>Egypt</strong> real estate equity performances,beginning 2009 (base 100)120300100250802006015040200May-08 Jul-08 Sep-08 Nov-08PHD TMG OCDI CASESource: Reuters, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>100500Jan-09 Apr-09 Jul-09 Oct-09 Jan-10 Apr-10PHD TMG OCDI CASESource: Reuters, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Page 4<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>• <strong>SODIC</strong> (Buy): In our opinion, <strong>SODIC</strong> is a company led by strong management and istransforming from a mono project residential developer to a builder <strong>of</strong> downtowns inWest/East Cairo with a focus on undersupplied retail and commercial space. While weacknowledge that the company operates in the high-end segment where we expectlower growth compared to the mid-income segment, it <strong>of</strong>fers differentiated products interms <strong>of</strong> quality and concept. Non-residential should account for 57% <strong>of</strong> planned BUA,while the company intends to retain 30% <strong>of</strong> BUA as investment property. We like thestrategy, as the concept is unique but lucrative due to high yields in this space.Additionally, it has a low risk pr<strong>of</strong>ile due to its strong balance sheet (net cash EGP1.2bn-40% <strong>of</strong> market cap.), flexible development model leading to minimum outstandingcommitment at any point in time and low outstanding land liability (EGP165m over 7years). Admittedly, <strong>SODIC</strong> needs to raise EGP1bn (DBe) between 2011-2012E to buildthe investment portfolio, but in the case <strong>of</strong> funds not being raised, the financial pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong><strong>SODIC</strong> would not weaken materially as the projects are still in the drawing board stage.<strong>SODIC</strong>’s intrinsic value comes from its small but prime landbank entirely in Cairo. WestCairo landbank is located adjacent to Smart Village, a successful business park, whereasthe East Cairo landbank is located near the fast-growing Kattameya/New Cairo area. Thecurrent price values landbank at a slight (8%) premium to historical cost and implies nonew launches, which is unjustified following recent strong sales momentum (backloggrew from EGP1.9bn in 2008 to 2.7bn in 2009 and then to EGP3.4bn in Q1 <strong>2010</strong>). Weinitiate with a Buy and a TP <strong>of</strong> EGP112.• PHD (Hold): We see PHD as the most leveraged play on <strong>Egypt</strong>ian market. The companyholds the most diversified land bank and exposure to first and second homes. While wedo not see a rally in property prices in <strong>Egypt</strong> to play PHD, performance in second homessales remains difficult to predict. The company maintains a healthy backlog (EGP10bn)supporting its top line for the next 4+ years with on average >60% <strong>of</strong> launched projectsalready sold. PHD holds deep project pipeline while it intends to increase focus on highvolumemid-income segment. In addition, its vertically integrated model ensures bettermargins and guaranteed capacities in a country under construction boom. Nevertheless,the company has the highest fixed land liability among <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers under ourcoverage (1.2x 2009 equity) with ~70% <strong>of</strong> the payment is outstanding which makes itmore risky than peers. Finally, non-Cairo location represents ~80% <strong>of</strong> the total landbankwhile we believe PHD will need to replenish its Cairo land (only c.20%) which holds thehighest potential, in our view. Finally, the recent negative news flow on Aswan landlowers visibility. We initiate with a Hold and a TP <strong>of</strong> EGP5.9.• TMG Holding (Hold): We believe TMG <strong>of</strong>fers the best exposure to the suburbanizationtrend in Cairo and demand from mid- to mid-upper segments in an acutely undersuppliedmarket. TMG is the largest <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developer with EGP24bn <strong>of</strong> backlog end-Q1 <strong>2010</strong>,which covers deliveries for the next 3+ years. Legal risks aside, cancellation risk isminimal as customers are in net equity territory and around 33% <strong>of</strong> cash has beencollected. Additionally, after a muted 2009, presales were strong in Q1 <strong>2010</strong>. (Net newpresales <strong>of</strong> EGP817m in Q1 <strong>2010</strong> vs. EGP77 in Q109). The next 3 years are crucial asTMG enters a massive delivery phase (c.26k units), which should improve the cash flowpr<strong>of</strong>ile (DBe EGP16bn will be collected from delivered units). However, on 22 June <strong>2010</strong>,an <strong>Egypt</strong>ian court ruled to nullify the sale <strong>of</strong> government land to TMG for its Madinatyproject (c.86% <strong>of</strong> landbank in <strong>Egypt</strong>, 71% <strong>of</strong> EV). The court ruled that the NUCA, a bodyunder the housing ministry, had broken the law by selling the land to TMG in 2005 andnot opening it up to the auction process. TMG has a unique agreement with NUCAwherein instead <strong>of</strong> paying the land in cash, it negotiated to pay Madinaty and Al Rehab inkind (7% and 12% <strong>of</strong> the BUA developed, respectively). While the housing minister hassaid that the court ruling does not cancel the TMG contract, risks remain on the potentialoutcome. NUCA appealed to the court to stop the execution <strong>of</strong> the verdict with a hearingset for 17 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong>. A positive outcome could lead us to change our view on the stock.We initiate coverage with a Hold and a TP <strong>of</strong> EGP7.8<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 11

For mature hotels we use 12x <strong>2010</strong>E gross pr<strong>of</strong>it.Development propertiesWe have considered only those projects where construction has started and we have enoughvisibility on the development plan. For PHD and TMG we have considered pre sales till2012E. For <strong>SODIC</strong>, pre-sales are limited to the next 18 months, as we lack proper planbeyond that time.Land bankWe have considered 2007 land auction prices in Cairo (EGP850/sqm in WestCairo/EGP750/sqm in East Cairo) as a base to value land banks. As property prices increasedsince 2007, we believe our base is conservative. We apply different assumptions to residualland (based on the auction price) depending on the quality/location <strong>of</strong> the land. However, anauction is set to take place on 27 th <strong>July</strong> in Sheikh Zayed in Sixth <strong>of</strong> October City (West Cairo)which should create a benchmark valuation for land.• <strong>SODIC</strong>: Cairo land is benchmarked to 2007 auction price in East/West Cairo.Eastown/Westown lands are prime and comparable to lands sold in 2007 auction. Wevalue Yosr land located in West Cairo at cost (EGP230/sqm) as it has been acquired in2008 (non-prime land with low footprint).• PHD: Cairo land is benchmarked to 2007 auction price as location is comparable. NonCairo land (Red Sea, North Coast…) is valued assuming the cost structure <strong>of</strong> a subdeveloperwhich is buying the land (implied land value: EGP238/sqm).• TMG: 30% discount to land in East Cairo as location is less prime than land sold in 2007auction.Note that land bank in Saudi Arabia for TMG and PHD is valued at cost in our SOTP (others),in line with our methodology for Saudi developers.Figure 15: Summary <strong>of</strong> our landbank valuation methodology<strong>SODIC</strong> PHD TMGLand price EGP/sqm after discountIn West Cairo 850 850 850In East Cairo 750 750 525In West Cairo (non-prime) 230 - -Non Cairo - 238 -Residual land bank (m sqm)In West Cairo 0.93 1.3 0In East Cairo 0.67 0.64 19.2In West Cairo (non-prime) 1.3 - -Non Cairo - 15.9 -Total (m sqm) 2.9 17.8 19.2Residual land bank (EGPm)In West Cairo 793 1,098 -In East Cairo 501 481 10,072In West Cairo (non-prime) 290 - -Non Cairo - 3,777 -Land bank valuation (EGPm) 1,584 5,356 10,072Weighted average price (EGP/sqm) 554 300 525Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong><strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 13

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Putting regulatory risk intoperspectiveAmbiguous legal framework has heightened regulatory riskWe have looked in depth at the legal framework pertaining to the <strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate sectorand attempted to address the regulatory issues that have captured investors’ attentionrecently:• A law issued in 1979 provided rights to NUCA (New Urban Communities Authority), agovernment entity, to sell land directly (without auction process) to investors/developers.• Another law was issued in 1998 (Law 89 <strong>of</strong> 1998) stipulating sale <strong>of</strong> land fromgovernment entities through an auction process.This new law led the administrative court to issue an adverse judgment on 22 nd June <strong>2010</strong>against TMG’s land acquisition process. This decision has put TMG’s flagship project,‘Madinaty’, in jeopardy.Madinaty judgement to set the benchmarkIn our view, the administrative court verdict against NUCA and the leading developer TMGhas increased risks on an otherwise attractive <strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate story.<strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers have acquired their land bank through 3 channels: private owners,government entities (such as NUCA) and through government auction process. Thegovernment began land auction process in 2006 while in the same time developers havebeen able to acquire land from government entities through bilateral negotiations. We believeinvestors could see risks <strong>of</strong> potential new cases/negative news flow against developers whohave acquired land from the government. Our analysis suggests that TMG and <strong>SODIC</strong> haveacquired almost 95% <strong>of</strong> their land from government entities through the non auction process,as compared to 8% for PHD. Nevertheless, we estimate that c.61% <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong>’s entirelandbank may not be at risk, as 55% was acquired before 1998 law (thus not at risk) andanother 5% was acquired through auction (also not at risk). While we see regulatoryambiguity as a risk we do not expect major cancellations <strong>of</strong> land agreements, as such ascenario would have significant economic damages, impact the government’s credibility andcould put <strong>of</strong>f foreign investors.We believe investors will closely monitor the Supreme Court judgement on TMG case (notime frame yet) as this should set the benchmark. Till then, we see legal overhang dominatingthe sector.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 17

According to CAPMAS, in 2009, <strong>Egypt</strong> had the largestpopulation across the Arab countries with approximately 76m people (excluding above 6m+<strong>Egypt</strong>ians abroad) or c.25% <strong>of</strong> the MENA population. Additionally, <strong>Egypt</strong> has the lowestproportion <strong>of</strong> expatriates (c.5% vs. 90+% for UAE) among the GCC countries, which webelieve creates a solid footing for sustainable organic demand for real estate.This demand for real estate can be gauged from the large and ever-growing population inCairo (where our developers under coverage mostly operate). According to the UN andCAPMAS, Greater Cairo is the 9 th largest metropolitan area in the world, with approximatelyc.20m residents in 2009 (originally designed for 5m people) or c.26% <strong>of</strong> <strong>Egypt</strong>’s population.Figure 29: Greater Cairo population (m)Figure 30: Greater Cairo population as a % <strong>of</strong> <strong>Egypt</strong>population25.020.0Greater CairoPopulation26%15.010.05.0-200020012002200320042005200620072008E2009E<strong>2010</strong>E2011E2012E2013E2014EOther <strong>Egypt</strong>Population74%Source: United Nations, CAPMAS, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: United Nations, CAPMAS, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Figure 31: <strong>Egypt</strong> population by age – 2008Figure 32: Median age <strong>of</strong> population (years)Above 60 years7%4545-60 years31%Less than 15 years32%4035302515-30 years30%20<strong>Egypt</strong>OmanKSAIndiaBahrainWorldQatarUAEChinaUSUKSource: United NationsSource: United Nations, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong><strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 19

Naturally Cairo, which is the economic centre stage <strong>of</strong> <strong>Egypt</strong>, hasalso seen urbanization and currently has one <strong>of</strong> the highest urban densities in the world.According to World Urban Areas, the urban population density <strong>of</strong> Cairo was 35,020 per km2in 2008. High urban density has led to suburbanization with the creation <strong>of</strong> satellite centres inthe East-West axis <strong>of</strong> Cairo, namely New Cairo, <strong>6th</strong> <strong>of</strong> October, 10th <strong>of</strong> Ramadan, 15th <strong>of</strong>May etc., where homebuyers can fulfil their desire for better houses, higher living standardsand a comparatively lower population.Figure 33: Urban and rural population as % <strong>of</strong> totalFigure 34: <strong>Egypt</strong> to witness higher growth urbanizationrate100%5.0%90%4.5%80%4.0%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%0%195019551960196519701975198019851990199520002005<strong>2010</strong>201520202025203020352040204520503.5%3.0%2.5%2.0%1.5%1.0%0.5%0.0%19551960196519701975198019851990199520002005<strong>2010</strong>20152020202520302035Rural populationUrban populationWorld - Urban population growth (CAGR)<strong>Egypt</strong> - Urban population growth (CAGR)Source: Population Division <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Economic and Social Affairs <strong>of</strong> the United NationsSecretariat, World Population ProspectsSource: Population Division <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Economic and Social Affairs <strong>of</strong> the United NationsSecretariat, World Population Prospects<strong>Egypt</strong>ians abroad form a key component <strong>of</strong> the property marketExpatriate <strong>Egypt</strong>ians partially contribute to the housing demand in <strong>Egypt</strong>.

Our analysissuggests an increase in demand/supply shortfall from 264k units (5% <strong>of</strong> demand) in 2009E to730k (11%) by 2014E, <strong>of</strong> which around 35% stems from mid- to upper-income segmentswhere our developers under coverage operate.We base our population assumptions on data from CAPMAS (Central Agency for PublicMobilization and Statistics). The current population for Greater Cairo stood at 19.6m in 2009and, based on historical trends, we expect the population to grow at a 2% CAGR over <strong>2010</strong>E-2014E. As per CAPMAS, the household size has been gradually declining in the past decade(1% per year over 2000-2009). We expect this trend to continue following urbanization andthe increase in number <strong>of</strong> families due to new marriages. We have assumed household sizewill decline from 3.9 in 2009 to 3.8 by 2014E. In addition, considering <strong>Egypt</strong>’s old stock, weassume an annual replacement demand <strong>of</strong> 13% (vs. 15% for KSA), in line with guidanceprovided by the Mortgage Finance Agency (MFA). This implies a total cumulative demand <strong>of</strong>5.7m units for 2009 and 6.4m units in 2014E, or an additional 790k units, demanded during2009E-2014E. On the supply side, we estimate 2009 stock at 5.4m (based on CAPMAS data).Based on future deliveries from developers, we expect supply to grow by 1% per year in<strong>2010</strong>E-2014E.Figure 37: Household size Figure 38: Demand-supply dynamics (units m)4.06.60-0.803.93.93.83.86.406.206.005.805.605.405.205.00-0.70-0.60-0.50-0.40-0.30-0.20-0.103.72009E <strong>2010</strong>E 2011E 2012E 2013E 2014E4.802009E <strong>2010</strong>E 2011E 2012E 2013E 2014E0.00Cumulative demand Cumulative supply Shortfall (in units)Source: CAPMAS, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> estimatesSource: CAPMAS, MFA, World <strong>Bank</strong>, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> estimates<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 21

This compares with 16% in Bahrain, 11% in Jordan, andaround 7% in the UAE. We believe conservative banking rules, a lack <strong>of</strong> efficient legalframework in dealing with defaults and high interest rates (12%+) combine to act as animpediment to all pervasive mortgage penetration. However, according to the <strong>Egypt</strong>ianinvestment minister (Reuters), <strong>Egypt</strong> is set to pass a new mortgage finance law (to deal withevictions in the case <strong>of</strong> defaults more efficiently than that which is currently prevailing) afterthe elections at the end <strong>of</strong> the year to provide a thrust to the property sector.Page 22<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

However, matters arecomplicated in <strong>Egypt</strong> as it is primarily a cash market with no access to mortgage for <strong>of</strong>f-planproperties.We try to gauge affordability levels for mid income segment at current property prices. Thetypical payment plan in <strong>Egypt</strong> spans for 4/5 years with equal payments each year. It startswith the booking <strong>of</strong> the apartment and ends in delivery <strong>of</strong> the apartment once the finalinstalment is paid. We assume an average mid-income household with a current income <strong>of</strong>EGP100k/annum who is planning to buy an apartment worth EGP450k. Our assumptionincludes that this household has seen 10% annual wage inflation for the past five years, witha savings rate <strong>of</strong> 20%. As a result, its accumulated savings were EGP97k, which is typicallyused to pay the down payment/first instalment <strong>of</strong> 20% (EGP90k).Our analysis suggests that in this case, cash outflows ranges from c.60-80% <strong>of</strong> income,which we believe is beyond the threshold level <strong>of</strong> 50%.Figure 48: Affordability for a cash purchase schemeEGP Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr 4 Yr 5BUA (sqm) 90 90 90 90 90Price/sqm <strong>of</strong> BUA 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000Unit Price (EGP) 450,000 450,000 450,000 450,000 450,000Annual Payments 20% 20% 20% 20% 20%Annual cash outflow 90,000 90,000 90,000 90,000 90,000Annual household income 100,000 110,000 121,000 133,100 146,410Wage Inflation 10% 10% 10% 10%Accumulated savings 97,310Cash outflow/income 82% 74% 68% 61%Threshold cash outflow/income 50% 50% 50% 50%Conclusion: Affordable?

Notethat <strong>SODIC</strong> has high quality prime land in the east and west <strong>of</strong> Cairo for which a strongdemand exists. The last auction in 2007 fetched an average price <strong>of</strong> EGP833/sqm insimilar locations as that <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank.• PHD land is valued at EGP326/sqm, a 95% premium to historical cost <strong>of</strong> EGP167/sqm.For PHD, we think the premium is explained by the fact that the company has acquiredland at very cheap prices (~80% at EGP46/sqm) and never marked to market (even atIPO)• TMG land is valued at EGP251/sqm, a 36% discount to historical cost EGP 395/sqm(during IPO in 2007).Figure 55: Implied landbank value at current share price<strong>SODIC</strong> PHD TMGCurrent Share price (EGP) 82.0 4.9 7.2Market cap(EGPm) 2,977 5,135 14,384-Development Properties 892 1,475 5,562-Investment Properties - 483 2,211-Net Debt (2009) 935 98 (1,708)-Investments (financial/JV) 128 306 862-Associates 79 1,300-Land liabilities (146) (4,180) -Implicit value <strong>of</strong> land 1,168 6,874 6,157<strong>Egypt</strong>ian residual land bank (m sqm)* 3.9 21.1 24.5Implicit value <strong>of</strong> land (EGP/Sqm) 299 326 251Discount/Premium to cost price 8% 95% -36%Land at cost (EGP/Sqm) - B/S 277 167 395Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> - * Residual land bank ending 2009Strong pre sales in Q1 <strong>2010</strong> after tough 2009 yearFurther, we believe that no premium from future launches is unjustified, as demand remainsstrong in <strong>Egypt</strong> and developers have extensive project launch plans over the next 18 months.<strong>Egypt</strong> showed strong resilience in 2009 compared to other MENA markets. Admittedly, presaleslast year decreased compared to previous years and developers witnessed an increasein cancellations.

The <strong>of</strong>fice market is highlyfragmented, with the majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice space located in various mid-rise buildings throughoutGreater Cairo. Our channel checks with property consultants suggest that 20% is at a GradeA level and that most <strong>of</strong>fice spaces do not meet international standards <strong>of</strong> quality. As a result,there is a vast disparity between average commercial rent and premium rent atUSD260/sqm/pa and USD750/sqm/pa, respectively.Currently, Cairo’s <strong>of</strong>fice market is significantly undersupplied in terms <strong>of</strong> primary grade <strong>of</strong>ficebuildings as well as dedicated <strong>of</strong>fice buildings, as evidenced in the 99% occupancy rate(Source: Colliers). Existing supply consists <strong>of</strong>: (1) residential units that are converted into<strong>of</strong>fices; and (2) a very limited number <strong>of</strong> dedicated <strong>of</strong>fice buildings in Cairo (100% occupancyrates Class A stock).Figure 61: Major existing <strong>of</strong>fice supply in CairoName Location Type GLA (Sqm) Rents in EGP/Sqm/year Rents inUSD/Sqm/yearNile City Nile Corniche Mixed use 40,800* 4,740 840City Stars Nasr City Mixed use 77,000 3,390 600Smart Village Cairo-Alex Desert road Business park 270,000 2,280 415Pyramids Heights Cairo-Alex Desert road Business park 180,000 1,920 349WTC Downtown Tower 19,000 1,680 305Source: Colliers, *(NLA <strong>of</strong>fice component)Prices and rents in commercial segments remain resilientThe commercial segment in most MENA countries has seen significant pricing pressurebetween 2008 and 2009 and Q1 <strong>2010</strong>; however, Cairo has been very resilient.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Demand supply gap to widenGiven the lack <strong>of</strong> land availability in central Cairo and new satellite cities such as New Cairoand <strong>6th</strong> <strong>of</strong> October being the focus <strong>of</strong> development activity, we believe these new townshipsshould house a vast majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice space in the coming years. However, according toColliers, the gap between demand and supply is expected to further widen due to insufficientsupply and continuously increasing demand on the back <strong>of</strong> economic growth and no newmajor project launches. Note that the number (cumulative) <strong>of</strong> new enterprises increased from3,100 in 2004 to 33k in 2009. Further, development delays (which are not uncommon) couldlead to supply not matching up to expectations.Retail market – Cairo has lowest retail GLA per capitaAccording to Colliers, Cairo has about 400,000 sqm <strong>of</strong> leasable space in retail malls, much <strong>of</strong>which suffers from a general lack <strong>of</strong> services and maintenance (in fact, many <strong>of</strong> existing mallslost their brand name retailers given unmet retailing standards). Cairo also witnesses thelowest per capita retail GLA compared to regional peers. However, according to Colliers,Cairo retail supply will increase by 83% between <strong>2010</strong>-2013 to approximately 1.18 millionsqm GLA. The majority <strong>of</strong> forthcoming shopping malls are developed in large residentialcommunities and are part <strong>of</strong> master plan developments, mainly located in New Cairo and <strong>6th</strong><strong>of</strong> October. However, despite a registered success <strong>of</strong> shopping malls, street-facing retailunits remain more popular and pr<strong>of</strong>itable due to the lower rental rates and absence <strong>of</strong> servicecharges, which lead to higher margins. The real challenge for forthcoming shopping malls liesin attracting retailers to choose them over the street-facing outlets. This could be achievedthrough differentiated products, unmatched service levels and above all rentals that providevalue for money.Figure 64: Retail GLA per capita in peer cities – 2009GLA (sqm)CairoMuscat (Oman)RiyadhFigure 65: Cairo cumulative shopping mall supply (sqmGLA)1,400,0001,200,0001,000,000Abu DhabiDohaDubaiManama (Bahrain)0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8800,000600,000400,000200,000-2009 <strong>2010</strong> 2011 2012 2013Source: ColliersSource: ColliersDecrease in sales in Q1 <strong>2010</strong> despite increase in footfallsRecent trends suggest that the retail segment is not immune to crisis.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Hospitality – low Euro/Dollar exchange rate is a threatTourism is a key sector for the <strong>Egypt</strong>ian economy with receipts representing 7% <strong>of</strong> GDP in2008. <strong>Egypt</strong> also witnessed the second-highest number <strong>of</strong> tourist arrivals in the MENA regionin 2008, with Cairo accounting for roughly c.20% <strong>of</strong> total arrivals in <strong>Egypt</strong>. According to the<strong>Egypt</strong>ian Hotel Association, Cairo has a total <strong>of</strong> 153 hotels, combining 24,000 hotel roomsacross all categories with only 20% <strong>of</strong> existing hotel inventory affiliated to international hotelmanagement companies.In 2009, the hotel industry was affected by the downturn and tourist arrivals declined 2% y/y.Similarly, in 2009 ARRs declined 6%y/y and occupancy rates declined 21% y/y, leading to aRevpar decline <strong>of</strong> 22% y/y. As evidenced from leading hotels in the market, it seems that Q1key performance indicators (KPIs) fared better than they did last year. However, in the shortterm, with the Euro/Dollar rate remaining lower than before and Europeans forming asignificant proportion <strong>of</strong> tourist arrivals, we remain sceptical regarding a full-fledged recovery.Longer term, we believe <strong>Egypt</strong> will continue to attract tourists and tourist arrivals willcontinue to grow with improving economic conditions and government initiatives to promotenew leisure tourism destinations in the country. However, increasing competition as well asnew supply will continue to challenge the occupancy levels and the resultant Revpar.Figure 66: Cairo hospitality performance2008 (YoY) 2009 (YoY)ARR 3% -6%Occupancy rate -14% -8%RevPAR -12% -12%Source: ColliersFigure 67: International tourism, number <strong>of</strong> arrivals (m)Figure 68: International tourism, receipts (current mUSD)1440%1400040%1230%1200030%1086420%10%0%1000080006000400020%10%0%2-10%2000-10%02000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009E-20%02000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008-20%International tourism, number <strong>of</strong> arrivals (M)ChangeInternational tourism, receipts (current M US$)ChangeSource: World databank, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: World databank, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Page 32<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

The concept is unique, and lucrative due to high yields. <strong>SODIC</strong>has a low-risk pr<strong>of</strong>ile due to a strong BS (net cash EGP1.2bn, 40% <strong>of</strong> market cap),and a low outstanding land liability. The current share price implies no newlaunches and landbank at slight premium to historical cost. This is unjustifiedgiven the recent strong sales trend and high quality land. Buy with an EGP112 TP.Unique concept <strong>of</strong> building downtowns with focus on non residential<strong>SODIC</strong>’s development concept is differentiated, with a focus on building two newdowntowns in East and West Cairo. Non residential should account for 57% <strong>of</strong>planned BUA, while the company intends to retain 30% <strong>of</strong> BUA as investmentproperty. These segments are significantly undersupplied in Cairo and providehigh yields. Further, the development model is low risk and flexible, leading tominimum outstanding commitments at any given time. Admittedly, <strong>SODIC</strong> needsto raise EGP1bn (our estimate) in 2011E-2012E to build the investment portfolio.However, <strong>SODIC</strong>’s financial pr<strong>of</strong>ile would not weaken materially if the funds couldnot be raised as the projects would still be on the drawing board stage.Market mispricing <strong>SODIC</strong>’s prime landbank and future projectsThe intrinsic value <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong> comes from its small but prime landbank entirely inCairo that carries only EGP165m outstanding liability. West Cairo landbank islocated adjacent to Smart Village, a successful business park, whereas East Cairolandbank is located near the fast-growing Kattameya/New Cairo area. Our analysissuggests that the current share price implies landbank at EGP299/sqm vs. a 2007average auction price <strong>of</strong> c.EGP833/sqm (66% discount). Note that in 1Q10,<strong>SODIC</strong> was able to sell land at c.EGP4,000/sqm. Additionally, the market is notassigning any value to the planned projects (next 18 months). This is unjustified as<strong>SODIC</strong> has successfully launched projects during the crisis and increased itsbacklog from EGP1.9bn in 2008 to EGP2.7bn in 2009 and EGP3.4bn in 1Q10.Target price <strong>of</strong> EGP112; initiate with BuyWe derive our target price using SOTP. For development properties, we use DCFwith WACC <strong>of</strong> 14.6%. We conservatively value the landbank at EGP750/sqm inEastown and EGP850/sqm in Westown, in line with 2007 auction prices.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Investment thesisOutlookWe see <strong>SODIC</strong> as a company led by a strong management team and under transformationfrom a mono-project (Allegria) residential developer to a developer <strong>of</strong> downtowns inEast/West Cairo. Its differentiated development concept is about focusing on developing amix <strong>of</strong> residential, commercial, retail and entertainment assets with emphasis on nonresidential and investment properties accounting for 57% and 30%, respectively, <strong>of</strong> theplanned BUA (excluding Allegria). We like the strategy as, due to acute undersupply, yieldsremain high in the non residential space. Additionally, the company’s development model islow risk, scalable and flexible with the master development plan divided into many subphases (again with a mix <strong>of</strong> retail, commercial, residential) resulting in minimum outstandingcommitments. The benefit <strong>of</strong> this strategy is if the real estate market slows down, <strong>SODIC</strong>may not launch new projects and customize the product <strong>of</strong>ferings to match marketrequirements. This was visible during the market slowdown in 2009 when <strong>SODIC</strong> achievedpositive sales momentum by reducing the unit sizes to make products more affordable.Going forward, with its differentiated products, we believe <strong>SODIC</strong> will be able to gain tractionin its planned new launches (in the next 18 months).<strong>SODIC</strong> also boasts a solid balance sheet with net cash <strong>of</strong> EGP1.2bn (end 1Q10, -55%gearing) after a rights issue (EGP550m in 1Q10) and cash management in its Allegria project.Nevertheless, as the company transforms itself to a developer with investment propertyassets, we estimate that it needs to raise c.EGP1bn. We see successful debt rising as thekey catalyst for <strong>SODIC</strong> as this would secure future investment property growth. However,should market conditions weaken and funds cannot be raised, <strong>SODIC</strong> can decide to holdback projects without weakening its financial pr<strong>of</strong>ile as the projects will still be at the drawingboard stage.The intrinsic value <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong> comes also from its small but prime landbank. The West Cairolandbank is adjacent to Smart Village, a successful business park, whereas East Cairolandbank is near the fast growing Kattameya/New Cairo area. Our analysis suggests that thecurrent share price implies land bank at EGP299/sqm vs. the 2007 average auction price <strong>of</strong>c.EGP833/sqm (66% discount). Additionally, the market is not assigning any premium toplanned future projects (in the next 18 months). We believe this is unjustified as <strong>SODIC</strong> wasable to successfully launch projects during the crisis and improved its backlog fromEGP1.9bn in 2008 to 2.7bn in 2009 and EGP3.4bn in 1Q10.ValuationWe derive our target price by using SOTP valuation. For development properties, we useDCF with WACC <strong>of</strong> 14.6%. We conservatively value the landbank at EGP750/sqm inEastown, EGP850/sqm in Westown, in line with the 2007 auction prices. Further Al Yosr landwhich was acquired in 2008 is valued at cost (BV, EGP230/sqm).Risks<strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate developers are exposed to risks such as availability <strong>of</strong> financing,economic conditions and consumer confidence. The key downside risks for <strong>SODIC</strong> include:1. lack <strong>of</strong> affordability in <strong>SODIC</strong>’s projects (high-end segment), 2. inability to replenish thelandbank in the future at competitive prices, 3. execution-related risk (early stage company),4. inability to raise debt for future projects.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 37


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>SWOT analysisStrengths• A strong management team that has been successful in transforming <strong>SODIC</strong> after pullingit out from a distressed situation.• Cheap landbank in prime locations <strong>of</strong> West Cairo (Sheikh Zayed City/<strong>6th</strong> <strong>of</strong> October) andEast Cairo (Kattameya/New Cairo) is a competitive advantage.• Strong investor linkage (EFG Hermes owns 15%), which could enable easier access t<strong>of</strong>inance.• Diversified product portfolio with plans to create two new downtowns in the east andwest <strong>of</strong> Cairo. Focus is on creating mixed-use communities incorporating commercial,retail and residential properties, which are rare in the <strong>Egypt</strong>ian real estate space.• Strong balance sheet with net cash position (EGP1.2bn as <strong>of</strong> 1Q10) and low outstandingland liability (EGP165m over next seven years)Weaknesses• It does not have a long track record <strong>of</strong> executing large-scale concept developments. Thecompany partnered with Lebanese developer Solidere to overcome the execution risk.• It is an early stage company with much <strong>of</strong> the intrinsic value coming from projects still inthe drawing board. Out <strong>of</strong> the total BUA planned, only 14% is under construction andanother 14% is planned for development in the next 18 months.• Limited landbank <strong>of</strong> only 5.7m sqm compared to peers. Although it is not underimmediate pressure to acquire land, <strong>SODIC</strong> will have to replenish land sometime infuture at a higher price as the land prices momentum in <strong>Egypt</strong> remains strong.Opportunities• Eastown and Westown are conceptually unique in <strong>Egypt</strong>; as a result, we believe thesedevelopments should attract strong investor interest. Successful launches in Eastownand Westown can provide accelerated growth than what is currently assumed.• Its small size enables it to be flexible and nimble footed in launching developments andcustomizing them according to customers’ tastes and preferences. Additionally, itsscalable development model prevents capital lock-up.• Operates in an acutely undersupplied market with project portfolio focusing on high-yieldretail and commercial segments.Threats• Primarily operates in the high-end segment, which <strong>of</strong>fers fewer opportunities than themid to mid-upper segment. Further, this segment has been the favorite playground <strong>of</strong>renowned international developers, which could lead to an increase in competition.• Need to raise EGP1bn <strong>of</strong> debt, in the current environment <strong>of</strong> tight liquidity, to finance itsinvestment properties.• Legal framework in <strong>Egypt</strong> is not very protective for developers. Homebuyers are able tocancel their booking anytime before the handover and developers can retain between 5-10% <strong>of</strong> the sales value. Nevertheless, the refund is not made before the unit is re-sold.Page 38<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>ValuationSOTP <strong>of</strong> EGP112/shareWe value <strong>SODIC</strong> by using a SOTP with specific assumptions for each business line.Development propertiesWe use DCF to value development properties (WACC <strong>of</strong> 14.6%, RF rate 8.5%, risk premium<strong>of</strong> 5.5%, and beta <strong>of</strong> 1.1). Our <strong>2010</strong>E price assumptions are EGP8-10k.sqm for residential,EGP12.5k/sqm for commercial with gross margins <strong>of</strong> 35-40%. We value only those projectswhich have either been already launched or scheduled for launch in the next 18 months.Landbank valuationWe value the Eastown and Westown landbanks by benchmarking the land price to the priceachieved in the 2007 auction conducted by NUCA (EGP850/sqm for Sheikh Zayed andEGP750/sqm for New Cairo). For Al Yosr land, which was acquired in 2008, we value at cost<strong>of</strong> EGP230/sqm due to lack <strong>of</strong> any benchmark price. Our consolidated landbank valuationturns out to be EGP554/sqm.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Market neglects the quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank and potentialvalue-creation from future projectsAt the current share price, we believe investors are neither appreciating the potential growth<strong>of</strong> the company from new project launches (lined up for the next 18 months) nor appreciatingthe quality <strong>of</strong> the landbank.First, the current stock price implies residual landbank (excluding the land equivalent <strong>of</strong> thealready sold portion <strong>of</strong> Allegria) at slight premium to historical cost <strong>of</strong> EGP277/sqm vs.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’s estimate EGP554/sqm. Note that our estimate is conservative, based on2007 auction prices <strong>of</strong> EGP750/sqm achieved in New Cairo and EGP850/sqm achieved inSheikh Zayed, similar locations as that <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank. Additionally, we value Al Yosr(West Cairo,) the land acquired in 2008, at a cost price <strong>of</strong> EGP230/sqm. Considering the factthat property prices have significantly moved up since 2007, we believe land values may havealso appreciated in tandem.Secondly, the current share price does not reflect the potential growth that we believe couldbe obtained from new project launches lined up in the next 18 months. We believe this isunjustified as <strong>SODIC</strong> has been able to generate positive sales momentum in 2009 and 1Q10when homebuyers supposedly tightened their purses. The backlog grew from EGP1.9bn byend-2008 to EGP2.7bn in 2009 and EGP3.4bn in 1Q10. Thus, we believe that <strong>SODIC</strong> will beable to successfully launch and sell its projects.Figure 76: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’s estimate vs. implied valuation <strong>of</strong> segmental assets at current stock priceEGP/shareDBeImplied valuation @current share priceCommentsDevelopment properties 43 25* Includes only the pre sold portion <strong>of</strong> AllegriaInvestment properties - -Landbank 44 32 Values the landbank at 8% premium to historical cost <strong>of</strong> EGP277/sqmOthers 4 4Net Cash 22 22Total 112 82Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Figure 77: Residual value <strong>of</strong> landbank (at 2009 Backlog levels)EGP/sqm Cost Price (EGP/sqm) Area (sqm) CommentsAllegria 125 637,875 A portion acquired in 1996 and a portion acquired in 2007Westown 56 1,073,293 Acquired in 1996, located in Sheikh ZayedAl Yosr (West Cairo) 230 1,260,000 Acquired in 2008, located in West CairoEast Cairo 698 933,963 Acquired in 2006, located in New CairoAverage Px/sqm 277 3,905,131* *total residual landbankSource: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>, <strong>SODIC</strong><strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’s estimate <strong>of</strong> landbank is at a c.40-60% discount to the NAVAccording to our calculation, the landbank is at a c.58% discount to the NAV.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong><strong>Real</strong> estate portfolioKey development projectsAllegria (West Cairo)Spread over 2.4m sqm <strong>of</strong> land (556k sqm <strong>of</strong> planned BUA), Allegria is the flagship project <strong>of</strong><strong>SODIC</strong>. This luxury residential development located in West Cairo on Cairo Alexandria Roadtargets high end clients and will contain 1,224 residential units (in four phases) along with an18-hole Greg Norman Golf Course. The project was launched in 2007 and will be deliveredbetween <strong>2010</strong>-2012. As <strong>of</strong> end March <strong>2010</strong>, the project was c.75% sold (1,037 units) andc.45% <strong>of</strong> the cash has been collected on the sold units. The project has been well receivedby the market, as seen by strong price appreciation since launch.Westown (West Cairo)Located near Sheikh Zayed/Sixth <strong>of</strong> October City on Cairo Alexandria Road, Westown is one<strong>of</strong> the two downtowns that <strong>SODIC</strong> intends to develop. It will be spread over 1.2m sqm <strong>of</strong>land (BUA 2.0m sqm) and is set to be a mixed-use community with an optimum mix <strong>of</strong>residential, retail, commercial and hospitality space. The project was launched in 2009 andwill be delivered between 2013-2020. Westown includes a mix <strong>of</strong> “for sale” and “for lease”properties. The development has a strong location advantage as it is close to Smart Village, asuccessful business park. In light <strong>of</strong> the current market conditions, although the entire projectis master planned, it will not be launched together. Instead, it will be launched in phases (subdevelopments) with each phase catering to a mix <strong>of</strong> residential/commercial/retail usage. Welike the strategy as it reduces the risk <strong>of</strong> heavy upfront capex outlay in case the sales do notpick up as expected, and minimizes the risk <strong>of</strong> unsold inventory at completion.Figure 84: Westown BUA by segment – Sqm, end 2009 Figure 85: BUA by revenue mix – Sqm, end 2009Entertainment9%Hotel2%Residential23%Sale28%Retail18%Land Sale40%Commercial48%Lease32%Source: <strong>SODIC</strong>Source: <strong>SODIC</strong>The developments in Westown planned for the next 18months are the following.• Polygon – Launched in <strong>2010</strong>, Polygon is primarily an <strong>of</strong>fice complex (51k sqm) alongwith retail space <strong>of</strong> 3ksqm. 47% <strong>of</strong> the BUA is intended for sale while the remaining53% will be held as investment property. c.43% <strong>of</strong> the commercial space meant for salehas already been sold.• 40 West – Launched in <strong>2010</strong>, with a BUA <strong>of</strong> 57k sqm, 40 West is a mixed-use project(73% residential, 12% commercial, 5% retail, 10% hotel). 73% <strong>of</strong> the project is meantfor sale while the rest is expected to be held as investment property. c.42% <strong>of</strong> theresidential portion has already been sold.Page 44<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Strategy and outlookValuable prime land in East and West CairoPrecious land in East and West Cairo is a prized possessionThe unique selling proposition and much <strong>of</strong> the intrinsic value <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong> comes from plannedprojects in its landbank. <strong>SODIC</strong> has the smallest landbank compared to TMG and PHD buthas the most strategic location. It has 4.8m sqm in West <strong>of</strong> Cairo and 0.9msqm in East <strong>of</strong>Cairo where <strong>SODIC</strong> intends to create two new downtowns. West Cairo landbank is in Cairo-Alexandria Road, adjacent to Smart Village, an extremely successful, newly built commercialdevelopment. The population <strong>of</strong> smart village could become a captive audience forWestown’s residential space, whereas the retail space could become an obvious choice forthe residents <strong>of</strong> Sheikh Zayed City and pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in Smart Village alike. Similarly, its EastCairo landbank is close to fast growing Kattameya/New Cairo and is adjacent to the newcampus <strong>of</strong> American University in Cairo and Cairo International Airport. Of late, both areashave seen significant transaction activity from developers (<strong>Egypt</strong>ians/GCC alike), boosted byhomebuyers’ appetite for the higher living standards and the comparatively lower populationdensity <strong>of</strong> Cairo’s suburbs.Figure 88: <strong>SODIC</strong> landbank locationsSource: <strong>SODIC</strong><strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank is at a 67% discount to 2007 average auction priceCurrently <strong>SODIC</strong> has 5.7m sqm <strong>of</strong> landbank in which 4.0m sqm <strong>of</strong> BUA has been planned.Most <strong>of</strong> the landbank has historically been acquired at cheap prices which we believe willlead to higher project pr<strong>of</strong>itability. Additionally, liability related to <strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank is minimalas the landbank is mostly paid for except EGP165m that will be paid over a period <strong>of</strong> sevenyears starting <strong>2010</strong> (c.EGP24m/year). On average, we estimate <strong>SODIC</strong>’s residual landbank(after excluding land equivalent <strong>of</strong> the sold portion <strong>of</strong> Allegria) at EGP277/sqm implying a67% discount to the average price <strong>of</strong> EGP833/sqm achieved in the 2007 auction held byNational Urban Communities Association (<strong>Egypt</strong>).Page 46<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

In return for its services, Solidere had an option topurchase Westown land at EGP950/sqm and Eastown land at EGP1,100/sqm. The Westownoption was exercised in 2008. We believe this has provided a realistic market value for itslandbank. Additionally, Solidere would take 7.5% <strong>of</strong> revenues on investment properties(above 80% occupancy) and claim 10% <strong>of</strong> gross pr<strong>of</strong>it on development properties.<strong>SODIC</strong> is not under immediate pressure to acquire landHaving acknowledged the quality and competitive advantage <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank, we notethat its landbank is smaller than its peer group and at some point in the future the companyhas to replenish it at current market prices. That said, at the current pace <strong>of</strong> development(unless there is a development frenzy in the market), the company is not under anyimmediate pressure to acquire land and its current landbank could feed <strong>SODIC</strong> for the nextfew years. Excluding Allegria, <strong>SODIC</strong> has a development plan <strong>of</strong> 3.4m sqm <strong>of</strong> BUA <strong>of</strong> which itplans to launch 470k sqm <strong>of</strong> BUA for development in the next 18 months.Diversified portfolio with acute undersupplied commercial andretail developments57% <strong>of</strong> the planned BUA is intended for non residential use (commercial/retail)Historically, <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers have focused on developing residential properties. As aresult, even in the fast growing suburbs in the East and West <strong>of</strong> Cairo, we see a visibleshortage <strong>of</strong> commercial, retail and other entertainment facilities (many residential convertedto commercial properties). As a result, these suburbs, although <strong>of</strong>fering quality residentialspace, have not been able to become fully fledged self-contained satellite cities. This iswhere <strong>SODIC</strong> intends to differentiate itself from the peer developers. The company’s focus isnot only on residential developments (high-end products) but more to build two distinctdowntowns in the East and West <strong>of</strong> Cairo These downtowns are to be mixed-usecommunities where people can both live and work. According to <strong>SODIC</strong>’s development plan,between <strong>2010</strong>-2018 (excluding Allegria as it is already under construction), nonresidentialwould account for 57% <strong>of</strong> the planned BUA.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 47

The broad plan is tosell 100% <strong>of</strong> residential properties, hold 100% <strong>of</strong> retail properties and hold 50% <strong>of</strong>commercial properties. We like this strategy as yields are high (more so for developers) dueto the demand-supply gap for non-residential developments. As a result, investment propertyrevenues are expected to ramp up significantly over time and account for 24% (our estimate)<strong>of</strong> revenues in 2014 (0 in 2009).

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Strong growth in residential presales with minimal cancellations (2% <strong>of</strong> backlog)As <strong>of</strong> 1Q10, <strong>SODIC</strong> has a backlog <strong>of</strong> EGP3.5bn, which provides earnings visibility for the nextthree years. Of the backlog, Allegria accounts for 90%, while 40West and Polygon accountfor 6% and 4%, respectively. The demand for <strong>SODIC</strong>’s product can be gauged from the factthat the backlog has continuously grown since 2008 with EGP 793m <strong>of</strong> new presales in 2009(+42% y/y) (at the peak <strong>of</strong> financial crisis) and a further EGP752m <strong>of</strong> new sales in 1Q10(+24% over 2009 end). Finally, the customer base <strong>of</strong> <strong>SODIC</strong> seems to be solid with minimaldelinquent payments, which according to the company never exceeded 1% <strong>of</strong> receivables,and cancellations from 3Q08 to 1Q10 amounted to only c. EGP60m (c.2% <strong>of</strong> total backlog).Figure 96: Backlog split – EGPm – 1Q10Figure 97: Backlog evolution - EGPmPolygonForth West 4%6%3,5003,0002,5002,0001,500Allegria90%1,0002008 2009 Q1<strong>2010</strong>Allegria Forty West PolygonSource: <strong>SODIC</strong>Source: <strong>SODIC</strong>Small size makes <strong>SODIC</strong> adaptable to changeA flexible model…Since <strong>SODIC</strong>’s landbank is small, it tries to optimize the utilization <strong>of</strong> the landbank. This isdone by developing scalable small sub phases in the master development and bycustomizing product <strong>of</strong>ferings to a particular segment <strong>of</strong> customers. Typically, <strong>SODIC</strong>’sproduct <strong>of</strong>ferings are premium and limited, so it can to some extent choose a narrow range<strong>of</strong> low-risk young and affluent customers for its products. The flexibility <strong>of</strong> customizingprojects/choosing customers has been granted by its small size; if the real estate marketslows down or there is a change in demand pattern, the company would stop launching newprojects or customize the product <strong>of</strong>fering to match market requirements. As a result, capexcommitments and unsold inventory should be at minimum, in our view. Note that <strong>SODIC</strong>’sflagship Allegria project consists <strong>of</strong> four phases whereas each <strong>of</strong> Eastown and Westown hasthree phases. On the other hand, if the market environment remains buoyant, the companycan quickly launch projects and harness the growth opportunity. A working example <strong>of</strong><strong>SODIC</strong>’s flexibility lies in successful launches in 2009 at the peak <strong>of</strong> the financial crisis where<strong>SODIC</strong> reduced the size <strong>of</strong> the units without lowering sales prices. Below we havehighlighted <strong>SODIC</strong>’s development plan for the next 18 months in Eastown and Westown.…already tested in tough 2009 year<strong>SODIC</strong> is an early-stage company with only one major project (Allegria) under construction;most other big-ticket projects are on the drawing board. Management followed a prudentstrategy in 2009 in holding back massive project launches in its Eastown and Westowndevelopments, which led to cash preservation. Instead, the company decided to phaseprojects and launch smaller projects (such as Polygon and 40 West in Westown), whichproved to be successful.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 49

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Despite strong net cash position, EGP1bn needs to be raised tobuild the investment property portfolioAs <strong>of</strong> 1Q10, <strong>SODIC</strong> had a solid balance sheet with EGP1.2bn <strong>of</strong> net cash (gearing -55%) afteran EGP550m right issue. On the development property side, <strong>SODIC</strong> has been cash positiveand because <strong>of</strong> strong demand for its products, self financing model and flexible phasingstrategy, we believe it will continue to be so in the future. However, as the companytransitions its business model from “residential sales” to a mix <strong>of</strong> development andinvestment properties, it should incur significant capex (we estimate EGP1.8bn between<strong>2010</strong>E-12E based on the current development plan). As a result, the company needs to raisedebt amount <strong>of</strong> EGP1bn between 2011E-2012E, according to our estimates.Figure 102: <strong>SODIC</strong> cash flowsOperational Cash Flow<strong>2010</strong>E 2011E 2012E 2013ECustomer cash collection 822 1,403 1,173 1,023Net operating Income (IP+Others) 8 9 10 87Capex - DP (767) (913) (734) (308)Capex - IP (324) (682) (784) (283)Other Capex - PPE (24) (24) (24) (24)Land Payments (24) (24) (24) (24)Other operating costs (SG&A, Finance inc., Tax etc.) (157) (211) (203) (366)Operating Free Cash Flow (465) (441) (586) 105Investing Cash flowInvestments/Acquisitions/Others - - - -Free cash flow after investing activities (465) (441) (586) 105Financing Cash FlowDebt Repayment (97) 0 0 0Debt Raised 0 500 500 0Equity Raised 550 - - -Other Financing CashflowsNet Free Cashflow (12) 59 (86) 105Gearing -19% -1% 18% 13%Opening Cash 482 470 528 443Closing Cash 470 528 443 548Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Similar to 2009, although securing debt financing is difficult, we believe <strong>SODIC</strong> will be able tosecure syndicated loans starting in 2011 as 1) the company is in a net cash situation(EGP1.2bn, -55% gearing), 2) financing is required to build the investment property portfoliowhich could be used as collateral, 3) assuming it is able to raise EGP1bn <strong>of</strong> debt over 2011-2012, gearing would be only 18% in 2012E, and 4) the company has strong links withinvestors (EFG Hermes owns 15% <strong>of</strong> the company). Alternatively, part <strong>of</strong> the proceeds fromland sales to sub-developers in its Eastown and Westown developments (1m sqm <strong>of</strong> landearmarked for sale) could also be used to finance construction <strong>of</strong> investment properties.However, an advantage for <strong>SODIC</strong> is that the majority <strong>of</strong> projects for which the financing isrequired is still at the drawing board stage. As a result, should market conditions weaken andfunds not be raised, <strong>SODIC</strong> can decide to hold back the projects without locking up capitaland weakening its financial pr<strong>of</strong>ile.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 51

Finally, PHD carries thehighest land liability among <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers under coverage. Hold – TPEGP5.9.Solid backlog and large diversified land bankThe company maintains a healthy backlog (EGP10bn) supporting its top line forthe next 4+ years with on average >60% <strong>of</strong> launched projects already sold.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Investment thesisOutlookEstablished in 2005, PHD <strong>of</strong>fers the best-leveraged and diversified exposure to the <strong>Egypt</strong>ianmarket. With operations across <strong>Egypt</strong> and land in KSA, the company holds one <strong>of</strong> thelargest/most diversified landbank (49m sqm) among <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers. Also, PHDmaintains a deep pipeline <strong>of</strong> 32 projects, supported by the largest/widest sales network,primarily focusing high-income segments. However, this is set to change as the companyplans to increase its exposure in the mid-income segment, where we see high potential forgrowth. The company stands at an inflection point <strong>of</strong> project deliveries (DBe 16,000 unitsduring <strong>2010</strong>E-15E) with a low risk <strong>of</strong> unsold inventories/defaults as projects are on average69% sold, with ~37% cash collected. In addition, a vertically integrated model ensures bettermargins, while assuring capacities in a country that is undergoing construction boom. Finally,PHD is planning to ramp up its investment properties to contribute to 30% <strong>of</strong> 2015Erevenues, which we think is ambitious.While we do not see a rally in property prices in <strong>Egypt</strong> to play PHD, performance in secondhomes sales remains difficult to predict while it dominate the pipeline. Furthermore, thecompany has the highest fixed land liability among <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers under our coverage(1.2x 2009 equity) with ~70% <strong>of</strong> the payment is outstanding which makes it more risky thanpeers. In addition, non-Cairo location represents ~80% <strong>of</strong> the total landbank while we believePHD will need to replenish its Cairo land (only c.20%) which holds the highest potential, inour view. Finally, the recent negative news flow <strong>of</strong> Aswan land lowers visibility.At 1.2x <strong>2010</strong>E BV, the stock is one <strong>of</strong> the most expensive amongst <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developersunder our coverage. We initiate with Hold and TP EGP5.9.ValuationWe value PHD based on SOTP (WACC: 14.9%). We have included only those projects forwhich construction has started or been put on a fast track. We value investment properties at2009 BV. For land valuation, we mark-up its Cairo land to 2007 auction price, while non-Cairoland is valued assuming a sub-developer’s cost structure (see valuation methodology fordetails).RisksKey specific downside risks for PHD include exposure to a relatively higher funding gap,given deep pipeline; slower second-home sales; and high fixed liabilities payments.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>SWOT analysisStrength• Holds one <strong>of</strong> the most diversified landbanks, acquired at very cheap prices, which issufficient to support project development for the next 7-10 years.• Unlike its peers, PHD has been able to secure sufficient funding to support the projectscurrently under development and meet its obligations for the next 2 years.• Most diversified and deepest project pipeline among <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers.• Largest sales and distribution network among <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers. It has an agreementwith Coldwell <strong>Bank</strong>er (a 49% associate with 800 <strong>of</strong>fices and 126,000 sales associatesaround the world) to promote and sell PHD’s properties.• A healthy backlog <strong>of</strong> EGP10bn (assuring visibility for ~4+ years <strong>of</strong> revenues).• Only <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developer to have an in-house construction arm and has a long-termpartnership with one <strong>of</strong> the biggest private contractors in <strong>Egypt</strong>, which providesguaranteed capacities.Weakness• Highest land liability amongst <strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers (1.2x 2009 equity).• Exposure to construction cost overruns. As most projects are over 60% sold, PHD haslocked selling prices, while costs remain variable.• PHD’s ambitious pipeline <strong>of</strong> 32 projects and land acquisitions has increased dependencyon external funding.Opportunity• The company’s Saudi venture provides significant opportunity to pr<strong>of</strong>it from theuntapped/undersupplied market.• PHD has put its high-value projects on a fast track to take advantage <strong>of</strong> decliningconstruction costs providing opportunity to enhance margins.• Sales centers established in the UK and across the Gulf <strong>of</strong>fer access to internationalinvestors.• Diversification into hotels and commercial developments should assure recurring cashflowThreat• PHD has the highest exposure to the second-homes segment, which remains difficult topredict.• Similar to other developers, PHD is exposed to adverse regulatory changes.• PHD could face tougher market conditions for high-end products as this segmentapproaches saturation.• Legal framework in <strong>Egypt</strong> is not very protective for developers. Homebuyers are able tocancel anytime before handover and developers can keep between 5-10% <strong>of</strong> the salesvalue. Nevertheless, the refund is not made before the unit is re-sold.Page 58<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>ValuationValuation methodologyWe adopt a SOTP method to value PHD. The assumptions are described below.Development propertiesWe include only projects for which the construction has started or been put on a fast track,and restrict our pre-sales horizon to 2012E. We assume an average selling price ranging fromEGP 2,500-11,000/sqm (mid- to high-income properties) and have maintained a 36% margin(vs. management guidance <strong>of</strong> 36-40%) for all projects except those located in North Coast(40% - in line with management guidelines).Investment propertiesInvestment properties are considered at 2009 BV.Land bankWe value the residual land <strong>of</strong> 18m sqm using a NAV method. We have marked up Cairo landto the 2007 auction price (850/sqm for W.Cairo, 750/sqm for E.Cairo), resulting in a NAV <strong>of</strong>EGP1.6bn. For non-Cairo land (16m sqm), we assume the cost structure <strong>of</strong> a sub-developer,(GPM <strong>of</strong> 30% / land cost: 25% <strong>of</strong> the total cost) to assess the implied land value.

The company was floated in May 2008 and is listedon the Cairo-Alexandria Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange. PHD’s core businessincludes acquiring large areas <strong>of</strong> land at competitive prices, creating value by developingvillas/apartments and resorts, and selling them to (primarily) mid- to high-income buyers. Thecompany’s landbank stands at ~49m sqm (including 6.6m sqm in KSA) and PHD has aportfolio <strong>of</strong> 32 projects across <strong>Egypt</strong>. As a part <strong>of</strong> its strategy, PHD aims to derive 30% <strong>of</strong>2015E revenues from recurring income (vs. 0% in 2009), which we think is ambitious.PHD sells villas/apartments and retains non-residential developments for investmentpurposes. The company recognizes revenues from land on signing <strong>of</strong> the contract, villas onpercentage completion basis and apartments on delivery. Hence, despite selling on average60% in all its projects, PHD’s revenues have been predominantly from the sale <strong>of</strong> villa land(90% in 2009), due to minimum deliveries. This is followed by revenues from theconstruction <strong>of</strong> villas. From <strong>2010</strong>E, we expect unit sales to contribute more as PHD entersthe delivery stage. Recurring income should start from 2011E.Figure 112: Revenue breakdown, 2007-09 (EGPm)Figure 113: Gross pr<strong>of</strong>it breakdown, 2007-09 (EGPm)100%90%3%0%10%100%90%2%0%2%80%80%70%70%60%60%50%40%97% 100%90%50%40%98% 100% 98%30%30%20%20%10%10%0%2007 2008 20090%2007 2008 2009Sale <strong>of</strong> land attributable to villas and town housesRevenue from construction contractsSale <strong>of</strong> land attributable to villas and town housesRevenue from construction contractsSource: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Page 62<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

The land is accounted in the balance sheet at EGP5.5bn (EGP5.2 per share).The land has been bought at a concession price (DBe avg. EGP167/sqm) on an installmentbasis from the government. We see 2 distinct advantages: As the land purchase price, whichis below the current market price, is fixed, PHD is in a better position vs. its peers to exploitthe increase in real estate prices; and because only 14% <strong>of</strong> the total landbank is underconstruction, PHD is under no immediate compulsion to replenish its landbank as it hassufficient land reserves to support its development for the next 7-10 years.Figure 124: Landbank (m sqm), as <strong>of</strong> end 2009Figure 125: PHD land acquisition cost* (EGP/sqm)60800504050 493270060050030400<strong>2010</strong>20963002001000TMG PHD Heliopolis <strong>Egypt</strong>ianResortsNasr city<strong>SODIC</strong>-Sixth <strong>of</strong> OctoberprojectNew Cairo Cairo Alex Road North Coast Red SeaSource: PHDSource: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>, *weighted averageFigure 126: Landbank status, (sqm)Figure 127: Landbank breakdown, (sqm)Raw Land19%Villa Mora0%Aswan2%KSA14%<strong>6th</strong> October12%New Cairo4%Master Planned67%Under Construction14%Red Sea22%North Coast+Alexandria31%Cairo-Alex Desert Rd15%Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Page 68<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

The remaining77% holds a low cancellation risk as customers have already entered into a contract. Further,an 18% cancellation rate (management guidance) for outstanding reservations implies only4% <strong>of</strong> the total backlog is effectively exposed to cancellation risk, or EGP0.4/share.Figure 132: Cancellation as a % <strong>of</strong> backlog (EGPbn)Figure 133: Backlog exposure to cancellations (EGPbn)12.010.08.06.04.02.08%7%6%5%4%3%2%1%Above averagecancellation risk23%-Q408 Q109 Q209 Q309 Q409 Q1 10Contract Reservation Cancellation, % <strong>of</strong> backlog (RHS)0%Low cancellationrisk77%Source: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>At first glance, receivables (102% <strong>of</strong> the 2009 equity) look risky, but as these are cashreceivables, which are partly netted <strong>of</strong>f against advance billings, the exposure <strong>of</strong> equity toreceivables is actually lower than it appears.Page 70<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London

The company alsohas a JV with Hassan Allams & Sons, one <strong>of</strong> the leading private contractors in <strong>Egypt</strong>. Thismodel provides guaranteed capacity, assuring timely delivery. This is important because<strong>Egypt</strong> is undergoing a construction boom and securing contractors could becomeincreasingly challenging. In addition, the model has proven to be successful as the in-houseconstruction arm enables PHD to construct at cost and save on external contractors’margins, while the JV provides an attractive cost + 9.5% model (previously cost + 12%)against a market margin <strong>of</strong> 11-15%.High-value projects put on fast-track constructionPHD has prioritized developments and put 6 projects on a fast track to benefit from lowbuilding-material prices in <strong>Egypt</strong>. In terms <strong>of</strong> value, the top four projects represent ~70% <strong>of</strong>DBe revenues from unit sales for <strong>2010</strong>E-15E. By end-2009, most <strong>of</strong> these projects were 50–80% sold vs. 0-40% completed, hence implying ample headroom for margin enhancement inthe current environment where the cost <strong>of</strong> construction has declined.

The average selling price and size per unit has declined since 2006.Further, the company is making its products more affordable by adopting innovative paymentplans. We believe this should increase clientele, as seen in 2009, when the customer basegrew 36% y-o-y, and enabled PHD to gain market share.Figure 138: Cumulative units sold by value range(EGPm)Figure 139: Average selling price per unit (EGPm)6,0005,00032.54,0003,00021.61.51.22,00011,00002006 2007 2008 200902006 2007 2008 20090-0.5m 0.5-1.0m 1.0-1.5m 1.5-2.0m >2.0mSource: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>This is well supported by one <strong>of</strong> the largest, most widely distributed sales forces among<strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Saudi Arabian venture – Well thought out and well timedPHD has a 51% (<strong>of</strong> the EGP600m) JV in Saudi Arabia and holds 6.6m sqm <strong>of</strong> land, 3.6m sqmin Riyadh and 3m sqm in Jeddah. We think this is a well-timed move as Saudi real estate ison the brink <strong>of</strong> change, and the introduction <strong>of</strong> the new mortgage law could trigger rapidgrowth. Note that KSA requires around DBe 0.2m houses every year against a supply <strong>of</strong> justover DBe 0.1m units. This shortage is particularly evident in Riyadh and Jeddah.No compulsion to raise fundsWe believe PHD would require funding in the midterm to continue its developments andbuild its investment portfolio. Nevertheless, based on the projects considered for our SOTP(until 2012), PHD seems to have enough funding for the next 2 years. In the meantime, weexpect cash-flow generation to improve as almost 52% (EGP2bn) <strong>of</strong> receivables matureduring <strong>2010</strong>E-11E. In terms <strong>of</strong> financing, PHD finalized a ~1bn loan agreement in Q110 andsuccessfully completed a EGP700m rights issue that began on 8 March.Figure 140: Cash flow generation (<strong>2010</strong>E-12E)EGPm <strong>2010</strong>E 2011E 2012EOpening cash balance 135 379 150Customer cash collection (DP) 2,114 2,986 4,042Net operating income (IP) 22 24 27Construction cost (DP) (1,599) (1,747) (1,846)Capex (IP) (258) (352) (473)Other capex (219) - -land payments (632) (921) (883)Other operating costs (144) (441) (558)Net cash flow from operations (716) (451) 308Acquisition - - -Other investing cash flow (32) 47 47Debt repayment (417) (342) (281)Other financing CF 160 - -Excess cash / (shortfall cash) before additional funding (870) (367) 224Equity raised 699 - -Debt raised 550 517 -Excess cash / (shortfall cash) after additional funding 379 150 224Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>,<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 73

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Financial reviewHistorical revenue performance is not very meaningful at this stage. PHD has derivedrevenues primarily from the sale <strong>of</strong> lands associated with villas and townhouses, despiteachieving significant unit sales, due to limited deliveries. As described below, the disparitybetween revenues and sales is mainly due to PHD’s revenue recognition policy. Thecompany recognizes land revenues associated with villas and townhouses upon the signing<strong>of</strong> a contract, while revenues from construction are recognized on a percentage completionbasis with a minimum threshold <strong>of</strong> 50% construction. Revenues from apartments and multitenant builds are recognized upon delivery.Figure 143:Revenue breakdown, EGPm (2006-09) Figure 144: Sales (2006-09)1,400690%25003,5001,2001,000590%490%20003,0002,500800390%15002,000600290%10001,500400200190%90%5001,000500-2006 2007 2008 2009-10%02006 2007 2008 2009-land attributable to villas Construction contracts yoy growth (RHS)Sales (EGPm), RHSUnits soldSource: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: PHD, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Positive net reservations in 2009 despite challenging market conditions2009 was a year <strong>of</strong> opposites, H109 was weaker, with stagnating primary home sales, butsecond/vacation homes recorded strong demand in H209.

The companyhas a solid sales backlog <strong>of</strong> EGP24bn, which provides earnings visibility for thenext 3+years. Nevertheless, the potential outcome <strong>of</strong> lawsuit on the Madinatylandbank remains difficult to predict and adds risk. A positive outcome could leadus to change our view on the stock. We initiate with a Hold.Solid sales backlog with strong Q1 presalesTMG is <strong>Egypt</strong>’s largest property developer with EGP24bn <strong>of</strong> backlog as <strong>of</strong> end1Q10, which covers deliveries for the next 3+ years. Legal risks aside,cancellation risk is low as customers are in net equity territory, and around 33% <strong>of</strong>cash has been collected. Additionally, after a muted 2009, presales were strong in1Q10. (EGP1.2bn in 1Q10 vs. EGP0.4bn in 1Q09). The next three years are crucialas TMG enters a massive delivery phase (c.26k units), which should improve thecash flow pr<strong>of</strong>ile (we forecast c.EGP16bn to be collected from delivered units).Risks on Madinaty landbank lower visibilityOn 22 June, an <strong>Egypt</strong>ian court ruled to nullify the sale <strong>of</strong> government land to TMGfor its Madinaty project. The court ruled that NUCA, a body under housingministry, had broken the law by selling the land to TMG in 2005 and not opening itup to an auction process. TMG has a unique agreement with NUCA: instead <strong>of</strong>paying for the land in cash, it negotiated to pay for Madinaty and Al Rehab in kind(7% and 12% <strong>of</strong> the developed BUA). Madinaty land represents 33m sqm or 86%<strong>of</strong> TMG’s land in <strong>Egypt</strong> (71% <strong>of</strong> EV). NUCA appealed to the court to stop theexecution <strong>of</strong> the verdict with a hearing set for 17 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong>. Although the housingminister said that the court ruling does not cancel the TMG contract, risks remainon the potential outcome.Target price <strong>of</strong> EGP7.8, HoldOur standalone SOTP valuation is EGP10.7/share. Nonetheless we believe anegative outcome on the Madinaty case could result in significant valuationdownside (EGP4.9 per share). We apply a 50% likelihood to this scenario,resulting in a target price <strong>of</strong> EGP7.8, equivalent to a 27% discount to ourstandalone value. For development properties, we use DCF with WACC <strong>of</strong> 15.1%(RF rate 8.5%, RP 5.5%, Beta 1.3). For the existing hotel portfolio, we use 12x<strong>2010</strong>E gross pr<strong>of</strong>it. We value hotel properties under construction at BV, and thelandbank at EGP525/sqm, a 30% discount to 2007 auction price. Key specificdownside risks for TMG include 1) Potential outcome on Madinaty case, 2)backlog cancellation/presales slowdown, 3) lack <strong>of</strong> affordability, 4) tourismslowdown, 5) construction cost inflation, 6) excessive concentration on Madinaty(71% <strong>of</strong> SOTP), and 7) news flow relating to the ex-chairman’s trial.

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Investment thesisOutlookTMG is the largest real estate developer in <strong>Egypt</strong>. We see the company as a strongbeneficiary <strong>of</strong> urbanization and middle class growth in a market characterized by acuteresidential undersupply for mid to mid-upper income consumers – TMG’s target clientele.Along with a long execution track record, TMG has developed a brand name leading to abacklog <strong>of</strong> EGP24bn providing 3+ years <strong>of</strong> earnings visibility. Legal risks aside, cancellationrisk is low as customers are in net equity territory, and around 33% <strong>of</strong> cash has beencollected. Additionally, after a muted 2009, presales were strong in 1Q10 (EGP1.2bn in 1Q10vs. EGP0.4bn in 1Q09). The next three years are crucial as TMG enters a massive deliveryphase (c.26k units) which should improve the cash flow pr<strong>of</strong>ile (we estimate c.EGP16bn tobe collected from delivered units).TMG land has been acquired under favorable terms, payment for which will be made in kind(7% and 12% <strong>of</strong> finished residential built up area (BUA), respectively for Madinaty and AlRehab II) after completion <strong>of</strong> each phase. We like this approach as it prevents capital frombeing locked up, reduces the risk <strong>of</strong> unsold inventory and leads to the right alignment <strong>of</strong> cashflows.However, on 22 June, an <strong>Egypt</strong>ian court ruled to nullify the sale <strong>of</strong> government land to TMGfor its Madinaty project. The court ruled that the NUCA, a body under the housing ministry,had broken the law by selling the land to TMG in 2005 and not opening it up to an auctionprocess. As mentioned above, TMG has a unique agreement with NUCA among <strong>Egypt</strong>iandevelopers: Madinaty land represents 33m sqm or 86% <strong>of</strong> TMG’s land in <strong>Egypt</strong> (71% <strong>of</strong> EV).NUCA appealed to the court to stop the execution <strong>of</strong> the verdict with a hearing set for 17 <strong>July</strong>(source: Reuters). Although the housing minister said that the court ruling does not cancel theTMG contract, risks remain on the outcome.Thus, despite an interesting story, we initiate with a Hold and target price <strong>of</strong> EGP7.8.ValuationOur standalone SOTP valuation works out to EGP10.7/share. Nonetheless we believe that anegative outcome from the court on Madinaty land could result in significant valuationdownside (EGP4.9 per share). We apply a 50% likelihood to this scenario, resulting in a targetprice <strong>of</strong> EGP7.8 equivalent to a 27% discount to our standalone value. For developmentproperties, we use DCF with WACC <strong>of</strong> 15.1% (RF rate 8.5%, RP 5.5%, Beta 1.3). For theexisting hotel portfolio, we use 12x <strong>2010</strong>E gross pr<strong>of</strong>it. We value hotel properties underconstruction at BV, and the landbank at EGP525/sqm, at 30% discount to 2007 auction price<strong>of</strong> EGP750/sqm achieved in East Cairo.Risks<strong>Egypt</strong>ian developers are exposed to availability <strong>of</strong> financing, economic conditions andconsumer confidence, which drive the real estate market. Key specific downside risks forTMG include 1) Potential outcome on Madinaty Court case, 2) backlog cancellation/presalesslowdown, 3) lack <strong>of</strong> affordability in TMG’s projects, 4) tourism slowdown, 5) constructioncost inflation, 6) excessive concentration on Madinaty (71% <strong>of</strong> SOTP), and 7) overhang fromnews flow relating to the ex-chairman’s trial. Upside risk include favourable outcome onMadinaty lawsuit.Page 82<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>SWOT analysisStrengths• Long execution track record with a strong brand name – a key requirement in an <strong>of</strong>f-planmodel where customers have to trust the company with their hard earned money.• Off-plan business model, flexible construction model along with favorable landacquisition terms (payment in kind and aligned with delivery)• Low gearing (8% in 1Q10), leaving enough room for future debt raising.Weaknesses• Exposure to inflation in construction costs as products are sold <strong>of</strong>f plan and then built.• Limited diversity <strong>of</strong> assets: 97% <strong>of</strong> residential BUA is based in <strong>Egypt</strong>. Around 86% <strong>of</strong> theBUA is concentrated in Madinaty (New Cairo).• Sustained slowdown in tourism could affect TMG’s hotel performance.• Potential outcome <strong>of</strong> ex-chairman’s trial could create a short-term overhang on the stock.Opportunities• Favorable demographics, growing middle class and undersupply <strong>of</strong> quality affordablehousing.• Strategy to increase the number <strong>of</strong> hotel rooms 3.8x to 2,600 by 2014 from 684 in 2009.• International expansion already in place in Saudi Arabia, with plans to export the businessmodel to other demographically similar geographies.Threats• Potential negative outcome on the court judgment on Madinaty.• Potential economic slowdown could affect the pre-sales (similar to 2009).• Increasing competition in TMG’s target segment from notable international developersand inability to acquire large parcels <strong>of</strong> land in the future at favorable rates could affectpr<strong>of</strong>itability.The legal framework in <strong>Egypt</strong> is not very protective for developers. Homebuyers are able tocancel any time before handover with developers allowed to keep between 5-10% <strong>of</strong> thesales value. Nevertheless, the refund is not made before the unit is re-sold.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 83

5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Strategy and outlookTargeting the right customer segment<strong>Egypt</strong> has been a beneficiary <strong>of</strong> rapid economic growth and increasing income levels amongthe population. The expansion <strong>of</strong> the middle class and the urbanization has lead to theemergence <strong>of</strong> satellite cities adjacent to Cairo. This has also been driven by homebuyers’appetite for higher living standards and the comparatively lower population density <strong>of</strong> Cairo’ssuburbs. TMG has been one <strong>of</strong> the pioneers to capitalize on pent-up demand for residentialhousing on the outskirts. The company launched successful projects targeting the mid andmid-upper income segments where the potential growth is the highest, in our view. Ouranalysis suggests that Cairo’s residential market will witness a widening shortfall from264,000 units (5% <strong>of</strong> demand) in 2009 to 730,000 (11%) by 2014 <strong>of</strong> which around c.35%stems from the mid to mid-upper income segment where our developers under coverageoperate.Strong execution track recordCompared to many <strong>of</strong> its local/regional peers, TMG has a longer execution track record <strong>of</strong>20+ years. This has earned it a strong brand name which has become synonymous withquality and reliability. To date, the company has delivered more than 57,000 units anddeveloped 9m sqm <strong>of</strong> BUA which places it higher up the learning curve compared to itscompetition. The lifeline <strong>of</strong> TMG’s property development model is <strong>of</strong>f plan sales which weview as a concept investment where buyers essentially invest in the brand name <strong>of</strong> thedeveloper and trust it with their hard-earned savings.An investor in any <strong>of</strong> TMG’s projects has historically generated handsome returns. Webelieve this has contributed immensely to the brand’s strength and has enabled the companyto be ahead <strong>of</strong> the competition along the value chain. This applies to pre-selling the units andsecuring financing for customers, dealing with contractors, obtaining attractive landpayments terms including in-kind. Even after the delivery <strong>of</strong> units, to control quality <strong>of</strong> theprojects, TMG manages the facilities on a cost neutral-basis. This serves two purposes: forcustomers, it helps to maintain the resale value <strong>of</strong> units; for TMG, it creates a strong platformfor new launch phases and price increases.Successful integrated township development conceptThe strategy <strong>of</strong> TMG is to develop integrated communities consisting <strong>of</strong> villas/apartments <strong>of</strong>different sizes targeting a mix <strong>of</strong> clientele in its target segment. The communities include allprimary and secondary facilities and services such as education, healthcare, commercialrecreational and maintenance facilities. The positive aspect <strong>of</strong> this strategy is that if theproject is successful in the initial stages, it creates a halo effect and there is a greater chancethat the project will be successful it its entirety. With every successful phase, the value <strong>of</strong> thesurrounding land increases, creating a fertile environment for price increases. This isparticularly true for TMG, which has only four major development projects that would bring inrevenues for the next 5-10 years. This reduces the need to launch new projects and repeatthe process <strong>of</strong> opportunistic landbank acquisition, development and sales. Instead, it givesmanagement enough time to strategize and look for opportunities to export the modelelsewhere. Further, once a project is complete, opportunities are created to launch costeffective (shared infrastructure, marketing and sales) extensions to the existing projects. Thishappened with the launch <strong>of</strong> extensions to Al Rehab and Al Rabwa after the parent projectswere highly successful.Page 92<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>The flip side <strong>of</strong> the strategy is that if the project is not successful in the initial stages, thesheer size could create a significant liability on the company’s books. However, going byTMG’s track record and favorable landbank acquisition terms, we have more reasons tobelieve otherwise.Backlog provides visibility for next 3+ yearsEGP24bn backlog provides visibility while presales back on track in Q1 <strong>2010</strong>TMG’s positioning has lead to a healthy sales backlog <strong>of</strong> EGP24bn as <strong>of</strong> Q110, providingearnings visibility for the next 3+ years, albeit the sales backlog has declined from a peak <strong>of</strong>EGP30bn in 2Q08. In 1H09, in line with its regional peers, presales were muted as customersadopted a “wait and see” attitude to prices. However cancellations were limited to


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>Legal risks aside, cancellation risks not material as customers are in net equity territoryLegal risks aside, we are not concerned about the threat <strong>of</strong> cancellations as prices in TMGprojects have held up well, as a result <strong>of</strong> which the customers are still in net equity territory.Moreover, since most sales in the current backlog happened before 2009, we estimate thataround 33% <strong>of</strong> cash has been already collected by end 2009, thus reducing the risk <strong>of</strong>default. Additionally, since a critical mass <strong>of</strong> projects has already been sold and the currentprojects have gained traction, we believe any cancellations could be replaced by new sales.Figure 176: Villa prices - Price psqm - EGPFigure 177: Apartment* prices - Price psqm - EGP14,0006,00013,00012,0005,50011,0005,00010,0009,0004,5008,0007,0006,0004,0003,5005,0002007 2008 2009 <strong>2010</strong>3,0002007 2008 2009 <strong>2010</strong>MadinatyRehabMadinatyRehabSource: TMGSource: TMG, * Finished apartmentsOff-plan model and flexible construction lower risk pr<strong>of</strong>ileSell first and don’t start construction unless significant portion <strong>of</strong> units is soldTMG doesn’t start construction unless a significant portion <strong>of</strong> the units is sold for a particularphase <strong>of</strong> construction. Further, payment plans are designed in a way that coincides withconstruction milestones and reduce the funding gap to a minimum. We like this strategy as ithas two primary benefits; 1/ reduces reliance on external debt financing that would lead to alighter balance sheet and 2/ reduces the risk <strong>of</strong> carrying unsold inventory on delivery.Figure 178: Cash collected in current backlogFigure 179: % <strong>of</strong> sold residential BUA45%40%35%30%25%20%15%10%5%0%41%34%32%33%Madinaty Al Rehab II Al Rabwa II All Projects90%80%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%0%78%65%63%60%Madinaty Al Rehab II Al Rabwa II All ProjectsBUA Sold/ BUA delivered (till 2014) RatioSource: TMG, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Source: TMG, <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Flexible construction model prevents a substantial portion <strong>of</strong> capital being locked upTMG’s strategy is to adopt a flexible construction model and build in phases. Although scaleadvantages could be somewhat lower in such a model, in the current market conditions, weview this as positive as it prevents the company from building an entire infrastructure in onego and locking up a substantial portion <strong>of</strong> capital. Further, it allows TMG to respond to actualdemand and avoid carrying an inventory <strong>of</strong> unsold units in case <strong>of</strong> a slowdown.

This arrangement is particularly uniqueas it doesn’t require any upfront capital outlay compared to peers.As described below, we estimate that under the terms <strong>of</strong> the agreement, the implicit cost <strong>of</strong>TMG land is c.45% cheaper than the auction price.Figure 182: Land acquisition economicsMadinatyAl Rehab IICompleted residential BUA to be given to government (sqm) 2,700,000 312,000Residential selling price (BUA/sqm/EGP) 5,000 5,000Implied Land Cost (EGPm) 13,500 1,560Land acquired (sqm) 33,600,000 3,700,000Implied price/sqm (EGP) 402 422Auction Price 750 750Discount -46% -44%Source: <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>Structured home financing has increased affordability for TMGcustomersThe <strong>Egypt</strong>ian mortgage market is untapped with banks not allowed to provide loans on presold units. Normally, a lack <strong>of</strong> mortgage availability should have made TMG’s projectsunaffordable to a large section <strong>of</strong> TMG’s customers who belong to the mid to mid-upperincome category (annual income <strong>of</strong> EGP80,000-EGP150,000) and are young (some just fiveyears into their working life) and thus unlikely to have enough savings to buy a propertyentirely in cash.<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> AG/London Page 95


5 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>, Construction and Building Materials <strong>Egypt</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong>In order to address the issue <strong>of</strong> affordability, TMG has developed innovative financingtechniques that essentially are securitized transactions and work like a mortgage. Accordingto this arrangement, after collecting a 10%-20% down payment in the form <strong>of</strong> cash, TMGallows customers to pay the balance over a 4-17 year period (cost <strong>of</strong> financing 13-14% p.a)and collects post-dated cheques. On delivery <strong>of</strong> a unit, TMG presents the post-datedcheques pertaining to the unit to the bank and receives a cash equivalent to the NPV <strong>of</strong> thecheques. Post delivery, the relationship becomes a bank/customer relationship with norecourse to the company, thus not exposing TMG to any default risk. Over time, with thesuccess <strong>of</strong> its projects, TMG has been able to increase the duration <strong>of</strong> the credit period; theAl Rehab project started with 4-8 years <strong>of</strong> credit period while the current Madinaty project<strong>of</strong>fers financing up to 17 years. TMG’s financing schemes have gained traction withcustomers, with 87% <strong>of</strong> Madinaty pre-sales being financed by these mortgage-liketransactions.Figure 183: Madinaty cumulative mix <strong>of</strong> paymentsFigure 184: Al Rehab cumulative mix <strong>of</strong> payments17 years21%Cash13%6 years4%10 years11%15 years17%8 years18%12 years1%10 years26%4-8 years89%Source: TMGSource: TMGWe tried to work out an exercise on affordability with a structured financing plan.

The company has formed a 50/50 JV with Al Oula <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong> Development Companyand has acquired 3.1m sqm <strong>of</strong> land in Riyadh. Early May <strong>2010</strong>, TMG announced that it hadobtained the approval <strong>of</strong> the Saudi Authorities to sell <strong>of</strong>f-plan real estate units in its projectNassamat AlRiyadh.

Our analysissuggests that Saudi Arabia will require 1.2m units by 2015 against a supply <strong>of</strong> 0.9m units,implying a shortfall <strong>of</strong> 25% (0.3m units). The key issue for Saudi Arabia remains the approval<strong>of</strong> the long awaited mortgage law, which should increase mortgage financing supply andhence affordability. TMG addressed this issue with a financing agreement on NassamatAlRiyadh, with Riyadh <strong>Bank</strong> providing customer loans for 25 years.At this stage, we cautiously value the project at book value (EGP0.2/share). At full potential,the project could generate EGP0.3/share <strong>of</strong> upside (see calculation below).
