We initiate coverage on Amer with a fair value of EGP 0.266/share, we valued Amer Group using SoTP valuation, utilizing an average WACC of 21.5%; a perpetual growth rate ranging within 2-3%, resulting in a downside potential of 5.1% from the current trading level.

Valuation

We estimated Amer Group Enterprise Value at EGP 970.2mn, 72% of which comes from the company`s current real estate operations. The main reason we believe Amer group would not turn into applying a land owner model is that the current inflationary land prices leave very squeezed margins for co-development agreements, in time the recurring income operations only adds 28% of the group`s enterprise value. The company has a net cash exposure thanks to a foreign currency bank deposit, a position we assume to prevail over the valuation horizon.

Upside Risks

1) Adding the planned retail GLA and new hotel keys from sister company`s (Porto Group) commercial

developments.

2) Expanding the restaurants chains as announced in the GCC.

3) Constructing more than 28k new units in current existing projects.

4) Faster than estimated successful restructuring plan implantation for the retail and hospitality sector.

5) We account for EGP 11.5/USD by year end, further EGP/USD higher official rate than the accounted for directly adds more FX-gains from the company`s FX denominated deposits.

Downside Risks

1) The current undiversified GLA and hotel keys in Al Ain Al Soukhna and North Coast, may adversely impact operations further than estimated due to the increasing competition.

2) Stagnant inventory sales, hence more sales duration adversely impact valuation.

The Spin-off Story

Back in November 2014, Egypt’s real estate firm Amer Group announced the extraordinary general meeting’s approval of splitting the company into two separate companies; Amer Holding (demerging company) and Porto Holding (demerged company).

The spin off rationale was mainly to make the two companies Amer Group and Porto Group lines of business and values more visible; in addition to, segregating the Porto concept. As the two company`s common management thought back then that it was a way of distinguishing the Porto concept more as it was getting mature.

The split entailed Amer Group as a property management and a land owner, while Porto Group would become a pure real estate developer. As per the split prospects, the plan was to shift all recurring income lines of business to Amer group, a matter we believe the common management is currently deviating from, in a way that is intensifying the conflicts of interest.

The two companies joined EGX database on 21 October, and commenced trading on 22 October 2015. The split took place based on the book value as per 9M2015 Financials, hence splitting assets and liabilities at the carrying value at the split date. Amer board decided the split to take place on a 2:1 ratio, cutting down Amer Group par value to EGP 0.2/share to create Porto Group`s EGP 0.1/share worth par value. The capital cut took Amer paid in capital to EGP 911.9mn down from EGP 1,367.9mn, and hence creating Porto Group`s current capital of EGP 455.9mn. Amer group commenced trading at EGP 0.58/share, while Porto group commenced at EGP 0.29/share.

Amer Group in Focus

Amer Group current business model is on its way towards becoming mainly a land owner besides taking over the responsibility of the recurring income LOB; malls, restaurants and hotels post the split currently going under heavy restructuring. We believe Amer Group has an implicit goal of supporting its performance over the upcoming 3 years from a group of real estate projects that are approaching full recognition as per our estimation. Amer group operates its 5 lines of business through a 19 almost fully owned subsidiaries, operating in tourism, real estate development, food and beverage, marketing, transport, contracting, services and trade.

The group first launched project was Porto Marina back in 2005, the project represents the spark for launching Amer Group more officially as Egypt`s secondary home market main competitor, in time most leading RE developers were focusing on winning more land areas in the capital. An aspect that gave Amer room to rapidly expand through Golf Porto Marina that was initiated in 2007, as the first middle income development in north coast with no private coast line. Still the development encouraged other smaller sized developers to acquire land areas in proximity, imitating Amer group`s success. Amer took his success story to the red sea in 2007, to initiate construction at Porto Soukhna, the landmark that took all Al Ain Al Soukhna developments` prices upward, as the development itself offered outings and dinning destinations the area was missing besides the spectacular design it enjoys. Amer group currently owns 7 RE projects in addition to developing Porto Sharm for 14% share of sales to the third party contributing the project`s land area.

Real Estate was not the group`s only focus, as it kept on enlarging its other lines of business further in correlation with developing more land areas. The group currently owns a chain of 48 restaurants dropping from 58 restaurants in 2015 as the company`s management decided to restructure the segment heavily to optimize its profitability. The segment is currently led by the famous Chilis franchise that was acquired back in the 90s, the highest in profitability and number of branches.

Amer group also operates 7 hotels with 811 keys, all present in secondary home destinations mainly in Al Ain Al Soukhna and North Coast, which led to weak operations in comparison to other hotel chains, as the management did not diversify its presence in the hospitality market yet. An aspect that continue to weigh down on profitability as tastes change and new touristic destinations grab more traffic from Al Ain Al Soukhna and North Coast. The group also provides a one of a kind usufruct vacation program “Porto Vacation Club”, comprising 1.65k units adding positively to the group’s profitability and performance.

The group also operates a retail division, incorporating 7 operational malls providing 62.3k sqm of gross leasing area, with 297k sqm reported as under construction and 140k sqm of malls under license, totaling 514k sqm of GLA.

Business Lines

1) Real Estate … The company`s main Pillar up till 2019 Amer Group has access to 5.48mn Sqm of land over which 4.3mn Sqm of BUA is planned, undiversified in our view as all land areas lie in North Coast and Al Ain Al Soukhna. As the management chose to allocate the newly born projects and the primary housing ones to Porto Company post the split and retain those mature secondary home developments. Up till 1H2016, the group generated sales of EGP 10.5bn out of which EGP 8.5bn were recognized up till 1H2016. We set the full recognition of such to take place by 2019. The company currently has an inventory of 1,036 units remaining, anticipated to be sold in 2016 and 2017 with the exception of Porto Sharm, which we see ending its current inventory by 2018. We excluded Porto Heliopolis from Amer Group land and built up areas break down although Amer Group is the official land owner, as the project was officially added to Porto Group`s land area, in order to avoid misstatements. We account for Porto Heliopolis addition to Amer group`s revenues through the anticipated royalty fees and anticipated co-development agreement earnings from Porto Group. Over the horizon, we only valued the real estate segment through recognizing the remaining backlog, and valuing the current outstanding inventory without considering the company`s plans of adding more units. The most recent company`s presentation shows 22k more units to be added in Golf Porto Marina, 5K units in Golf Porto Soukhna, 1.6K in Porto Sharm and 210 units in Porto South Beach. A total of 28.81K units representing the 2.0mn Sqm of undeveloped land the company reports. It's worthy to mention that, Amer Group has sold 17.4k units since inception added to 1.03k units of inventory, aggregately 36.1% lower than the newly planned units. An aspect we do not see as aligning with Amer Group and Porto Group major split purpose; aiming to turn Amer Group to a land owner, property manager and recurring LOB operator. Allocating his newly acquired land bank to partners (mainly Porto Group) for a share of sales. We did not account for the planned new units in our valuation until the designing, planning and finally sales launch phases take place. In addition to beliefs that accounting for the planned units means a complete deviation from the split prospects.

DOWNWARD RE STREAM AS DELIVERY TAKES PLACE … MARGINS DROP AS PORTO SHARM IS THE LAST IN RECOGNITION

SOURCE: AMER GROUP SOURCE: AMER GROUP

SOURCE: AMER GROUP

a) Recognizing the company`s backlog and Inventory … 39% of EV We split the company`s backlog recognition from its outstanding inventory in valuation, due to the untraceable and unspecified delivery policy, due to the characteristics of the group`s current projects being mostly apartment buildings. In addition to that the outstanding inventory of units are supposed to be ready for instant delivery, with no work in process to be registered, neither do we account for advances to be received. Besides an untraceable cancelation rate or volume, on the back of the group`s policy of withholding returns up till others show interest in such units. Segregating such backlog (2015) from the expected inventory depletion, empowers us to assume the disclosure available in the company`s statements concerning its receivables, WIP, and advances to be purely related to its current backlog. So that, we can liberalize the inventory from such burdens, and hence freely assume the cash installments to be received (3-years) and the related receivables. In other words, we segregated the inventory`s working capital comprised of receivables and installments (our assumption) from the backlog`s working capital carrying the whole lump sum of advances, receivables and WIP changes. Delivering EGP 3.83bn in 2016-2019 (versus EGP 4.1bn estimated by Amer Group over 2 years), adds EGP 342.1mn to the group`s valuation. Thanks to reasonable margins as most new sales or backlog amortization takes place at the advantage of an escalating selling prices in Egypt`s 2 main touristic destinations, while matching historical costs already incurred. Costs to sales turns upwards as Porto Sharm weight rises, squeezing margins due to the co-development agreement in which Amer Group incurs 14% of sales in return for the third party`s land. We estimats the new sales to take place at c. EGP 1.4bn added to 2015`s backlog delivery in 2016-2019; although proximate recognition seems promising the Group`s policy of grabbing more attention through more SG&A related spending comes at the cost of weak EBITDA.

The 4 projects are expected to yield sales of EGP 4.47bn during 2016-2021, with Porto Heliopolis the sole new launch anticipated in 4Q2016 as per our estimates (Porto Group`s Guidance - 2H2016). Hence, the anticipated Share of sales for Amer Group stands at EGP 1.33bn, thanks to the Porto Heliopolis 40% share agreement as we estimate the project`s aggregate residential and commercial sales at EGP 2.19bn

As per Amer Group, the JV – agreements with Porto Group will generate EGP 2bn. To be collected in 3-years as a maximum duration from Porto Group. We only account for EGP 1.33bn estimated over the horizon of such projects. We believe the 3 years duration stated by Amer Group, means premature payments to support a sister company and hence increase the impact of conflict of interest, in addition to that we see the EGP 2bn figure as exaggerated, giver the RE sector current slowdown.

While Royalty Fees (1% from all Porto Group`s projects in Egypt) cumulatively adds EGP 123.1mn in 2016-2023, thanks to Porto Heliopolis untapped sales yet, and Porto October huge remaining BUA. Royalty fees are due upon sales, with the only cash outflow anticipated represented in land payments amortizations.

The anticipate share from the 4-allocated land area to Porto Group along with the royalty revenues forecasted, together adds EGP 324.9mn to valuation representing 34% of EV, a valuable business model for Amer Group.

2) Malls Operations … Guidance indicates a restructuring plan is in place;

although the business model is getting distorted … 3.7% of EV Amer Group currently operates 7 malls with a total GLA of 62.3k Sqm, as the group shifted Porto Cairo Mall from being under Amer Group`s malls division to Porto Group`s properties. We do not fully understand the reason behind such shift. Although we see it as a probable conflict of interest through shifting any losses in case 2016 performance replicated 2015`s EGP 13mn net loss to Porto Group which has a rich backlog and promising sales up to 2023-2025 capable of absorbing such loss. The current 62.3k Sqm we stated previously, resulted from accounting 1H2016 operational GLA in addition to excluding meeting point mall indoor GLA beyond 1H2016 operations. As per the received guidance, such GLA of 7.9k Sqm will be sold as small office area, which we exclude from valuation due to lack of visibility on its worth. Although, we do not believe in such area sale material valuation`s addition, given New Cairo office areas over supply in relation to a relatively stagnant demand. As the main target pool might be represented by SMEs representation offices, seen more active following the macro status recovery over the medium term.

1) North Coast Properties …

Porto Marina is North Coast most recognized land mark, Amer Group`s first development. Unfortunately as is the case for all secondary home destinations, the property will never reach full utilization over a whole year. It only reaches full utilization in the 3

rd quarter, due to the summer

season taking place during which educational breaks usually coincide. We anticipate a slight upward shifts in utilization as the Holy month of Ramadan gradually comes earlier. Over the horizon, we believe Porto Marina is immune from competition as the development mainly depends on Marina residents and hotel guests. While a visit to Golf Porto Marina during August might implies that the status is not optimal in terms of tenants operations, in times other than the sponsored festivals by Amer Group held during summer. As competition is getting tougher due to other sophisticated developers newly established entertainment and retail areas, besides the planned GLA to be added from Emaar, Palm Hills and SODIC.

2) Al Ain Al Soukhna Properties Operational over the whole year, with the spot anticipated to witness more traffic over the upcoming years, as more RE developers other than Amer Group own RE - delivery, starts delivering their previously contracted sales including Telal – Rooya group, La Vista expansions, Azha, Ocean Blue and many others. Hence, grapping more attention to the area and more prospective clients as Amer malls are the only available dinning and outing locations in such area. Al Ain Al Soukhna proximity to the capital and Suez City also makes it a preferable destination for short stays as well. An aspect supporting our optimism concerning occupancy rates increasing. Amer Group recently signed management agreement with Accor-Hotels to manage its Hotels in Al Ain Al Soukna, will also add to the prospective clients and hence higher occupancy rates as traffic increases. In 1H2016, occupancy already inched up modestly as the group smoothed down leasing rates as an incentive that we account for over the whole year, added to the holy month of Ramadan effect.

3) Meeting Point … Facing the toughest competition as 3 new malls launched operations since 2015 in the same area, featuring new and highly recognized retail and F&B brands, added to cinemas and other entertainment dedicated GLA. Adversely impacting the meeting point position in the New Cairo`s race, as currently over 6 operational malls exist in such area. As a result, we believe occupancy rates for the outdoor area will keep on declining, until stabilizing at c .55% going forward. As New Cairo`s retail market stabilizes and more residents move in to East Cairo, encouraging tenants to maintain their operating areas. We did not estimate any occupancy or operations beyond 1H2016 performance reported from the indoor area, as it was noted that the area will be allocated as small office areas, that we opted to exclude from valuation due to lack of visibility from our side.

4) Porto Matrouh A New market promising high potential as comparable competitors did not join Marsa Matrouh`s market yet, giving an advantage to Amer Group property there. In 2016, we follow 1H2016 performance dynamics and going forward we believe occupancy rates will take on rising as the pricing level is reasonable for a penetrator. Delivering Porto Group and Amer Group RE residential properties also adds to the upside potential for Porto Matrouh Mall.

The heavy SG&A structure mainly stemmed from marketing campaigns, employees number and festivals taking place at the properties heavily weigh down on valuation as the aggregate value for the segment is mainly driven from 3 properties.We valued the segment at EGP 36.1mn, as we do not account for the anticipated new GLA under construction or licensing over our forecast horizon up till actual additions take place.

3) Restaurants … A successful restructure, led to higher Employees/Seat … 8.5% of EV In 2015, the company operated 58 branches currently standing at 48, as shutdowns for the operationally weak took place. The company almost added no new branches to any brand other than the most profitable Chilis. Over the horizon we believe utilization rates to fall as competition over such revenue stream is getting fierce in Egypt, especially post the deterioration in industrial activity over the past 5-years. On Average we anticipate annual escalation of 3-8% beyond 2016 that witnessed some discounts as is the case for Studio Misr, necessary for incentives as number of covers drop.

4) Hospitality Segment … 7 Hotels in touristic destinations suffering from seasonality … 9.7% of EV As of 1H2016, the group operated 811 rooms, anticipated to reach 971 rooms by the end of 2016 as the company currently shutdown over 50% of the available keys off-season, in order, to become more capable of managing its operational expenses. The company operates 2 hotels in North Coast, usually fully occupied during the third quarter, 4 hotels in Al Ain Al Soukhna with the highest occupancy registered during Easter. In addition to its most recent venture in Marsa Matrouh. The segment suffers from the increasing competition from new ventures about to get launched in North Coast (Emaar – Marassi), massively increasing the available number of room nights in north Coast. While, in Al Ain Al Soukhna competition remains minimal on the Zaafrana Side of Soukhna, as hospitality supply there is limited. Over the upcoming medium term we see higher occupancy rates from 2016 trough to 2020, as we account for Accor-Hotels taking the responsibility of managing the Red Sea chain. Going Forward, we believe other revenues including services and F&B to stand at 40% in Porto Marina, 70% in Soukhna Hotel, 50% at El Jabal, 72% at Cancun 1.5 folds at South beach and 50% at Matrouh of room revenues.

Hospitality Valuation Over Our forecast we smooth down the Cost of Sales to Revenues to 49% by 2020 down from 52% in 2015, as well as the SG&A to 42% down from 46%; directly adding to the segment`s EBITDA margin. As we assume the new Hotels-management company to start implementing higher efficiency measures through downsizing or better employees utilization. Such anticipated dynamics to led to the segment`s adding EGP 94.6mn to valuation although earnings are not anticipated to show major year on year jumps.
