WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED TiO2 OUTLOOK CUTS FAIR VALUE<br />
FAIR VALUE: REVISED DOWNWARD FROM SAR 46.9/SHARE TO SAR 33.2/SHARE<br />
Tasnee reported net earnings of SAR 417 million for its 3rd quarter of 2012, in line with our estimates<br />
yet representing a major fall on both a Q-o-Q and Y-o-Y basis. The weak performance mainly<br />
stemmed from waning fundamentals in the Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) industry, the largest contributor<br />
to the company’s top line. The continuous destocking in the TiO2 industry and the wait-and-see<br />
approach by consumers resulted in reduced pigment sales volumes for Tasnee and at lower industry<br />
prices. The company’s bottom line was also affected by softer prices in the PolyOlefins (PO) industry,<br />
mainly represented by HDPE, LDPE and PP. In the near-term, weakness in demand fundamentals<br />
is expected to continue in both the TiO2 and PO industry, constituting a threat to Tasnee’s figures.<br />
Long-term, some solidness in industry demand fundamentals should be regained however we do<br />
not expect operating rates and prices to return to peak levels of previous years. Accordingly, with<br />
this bleaker-than-expected economic and industry outlook, we revise downward our target price<br />
from SAR 46.9/share to SAR 33.2/share.<br />
A SOFTER TIO2 INDUSTRY OUTLOOK FOR NEAR-TERM, HOWEVER SHOULD REGAIN<br />
SOME FUNDAMENTAL STRENGTH IN THE LONG-TERM<br />
As TiO2 demand is tightly correlated to economic growth and as signs of sluggish growth in the<br />
economic recovery are resurfacing, the demand outlook for TiO2 remains soft for the near term.<br />
TiO2 prices have dropped by c5% in the 3rd quarter of 2012, primarily on the back of inventory<br />
de-stocking, with prices expected to remain subdued until year-end (especially in light of the<br />
fourth quarter’s seasonality effect). However, looking beyond, TiO2 fundamentals are expected to<br />
regain their solidness gradually, particularly as inventory levels normalize and the global economy<br />
gets back on track. With global GDP forecasts exceeding 4% for the years 2014 through 2017, any<br />
rebound in the US construction market or Chinese infrastructure spending should result in stronger<br />
demand for the white pigment. As such, with an increasing shortage in the titanium feedstock<br />
market and therefore limited supply of TiO2 given limited capacity expansions, a recovery in the<br />
global economy should improve demand and industry prices. However, again we note that any<br />
macro-economic risk to resurface or to linger will threaten global TiO2 demand, thus making it highly<br />
unlikely that operating rates and prices will return to peak levels of previous years.<br />
MAINTAINING OUR BUY RATING IN LIGHT OF A 27% YTD PLUNGE IN STOCK PRICE<br />
We update our investment case on Tasnee, reducing its fair value to SAR 33.2/share. Given the oversold<br />
condition of the stock, witnessing a price plunge of 27% YTD (vs TASI +3.0% YTD) and trading at its 52week<br />
low, the revised target price implies upside potential of 33.9%. Accordingly, we maintain our BUY<br />
rating for investors with a medium to long-term investment horizon.<br />
Despite this negative revision, Tasnee still trades at attractive multiples vis-à-vis global peers<br />
while offering yields materially higher than the industry average. The company trades at 8.6x and<br />
7.8x 2012 and 2013 estimated net earnings, respectively, vs a peer average of 10.9x and 9.7x, for<br />
the same years, respectively. Moreover, Tasnee trades at an EV of 6.5x and 5.7x 2012 and 2013<br />
estimated EBITDA, respectively, vs a peer average of 7.8x and 6.5x, for the same period respectively.<br />
Furthermore, the stock offers a dividend yield of 4.2%, vs a peer average of 3.3%, and a FCF yield of<br />
11.6% vs a peer average of 6.3%. Thus, Tasnee is still regarded as a value and dividend play, despite<br />
this negative revision to our investment case. Moreover, given the long-term growth outlook for<br />
the TiO2 industry and given that Tasnee is the only investment in the MENA region offering TiO2<br />
exposure, holding this stock should allow investors to capitalize on a rebound in the TiO2 market.<br />

VALUATION<br />
FCFF VALUATION<br />
We revisited our FCFF model incorporating the weaker-than-expected global economic and<br />
industry growth. We reviewed mainly our price projections for TiO2, noting that the latest Cristal<br />
announcement of a TiO2 price increase dated all way back in December 2011. In addition, we<br />
reviewed downward our price projections for HDPE, LDPE and PP. We adjusted our discount rate to<br />
9.0%, from a previous 10.4%, and the growth rate to 2.1%, from a previous 2.4%, to reflect the latest<br />
macro-developments and the latest changes in the company’s financial position. Accordingly, a fair<br />
value of SAR 32.9/share was obtained.<br />

RELATIVE VALUATION<br />
<strong>CO</strong>MPANY UPDATE EQUITY RESEARCH<br />
Using two different earnings multiples, we valued Tasnee on an equal basis with comparable peers<br />
region-wide and world-wide. Tasnee should be trading at a premium to regional counterparts given<br />
mainly its exclusive and significant exposure to TiO2, in addition to its largely diversified income<br />
stream, an advantage shared by very few counterparts in the region. Furthermore, Tasnee should<br />
be trading at a premium to global peers given that the company benefits from a notable feedstock<br />
advantage in the production of polyolefins.<br />
P/E MULTIPLE<br />
Tasnee’s counterparts trade at an average of 10.9x estimated 2012 earnings, opposed to Tasnee trading<br />
at 8.6x its estimated 2012 earnings, implying an unjustified discount to its peers. Based on our 2012<br />
earnings per share (EPS) estimate of SAR 2.87, a fair value of SAR 31.4/share was derived, thus offering<br />
an upside potential of 26.4% for the company’s stock.<br />
EV/EBITDA MULTIPLE<br />
On a forward basis (2012E), Tasnee’s peer group trades at an average EV/EBITDA of 7.8x opposed to<br />
Tasnee’s EV/EBITDA of 6.5x. Accordingly, a fair value of SAR 36.0/share was obtained, resulting in an<br />
upside potential of 45.0%.<br />

FINAL VALUATION<br />
Attributing a 60% weight to the FCFF valuation and the remaining weight to the comparative<br />
valuation, a final fair value of SAR 33.2/share was derived for Tasnee, offering an upside potential of<br />
33.9% (based on the closing price of SAR 24.8/share).<br />
