Strong product demand from the local market - Demand for construction material in Saudi Arabia is mainly led by Government projects in different sectors, as estimated value of awarded projects in the first 9 months of 2013 reached USD 67bn. Growth in the sector is supported by demographic, economic, and regulatory factors. A rising population, changing family structure and current age demographics are the main demographic factors that may have an effect on demand. Economic factors include a potential rise in household income, cost of borrowing and liquidity, and relative low home ownership.

• 10-year forecasted cash flow,

• Terminal value calculation based on Gordon Growth model h Expected Terminal growth of 3%

• Using Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate cost of equity. The calculation is based on the following variables h Risk free rate of 3.33% based on 10 years US bond Yield of 2.63% + country risk premium of Saudi Arabia of 0.7% h Equity Risk Premium of 9.85% h Beta of 0.538

Saudi Arabia- Construction Demand

Demand for construction material in Saudi Arabia is mainly led by government projects in different sectors, as estimated value of awarded projects in the first 9 months of 2013 reached USD 67bn1. The Saudi Government’s 2013 budget is currently funding construction-intensive, multibillion-riyal projects ranging from ports and roads to rail networks and communications facilities. This large influx of construction project is bound to raise demand for construction material and sustain growth in the short to medium term.

The residential building sector, is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8–10% in the long term. The development in the residential housing sector is primarily led by the projects awarded by the Saudi Ministry of Housing (MOH). Contracts worth SAR 4 Billion were approved in 2013 by the Ministry of Housing providing 60,000 units of housing across different provinces, these contracts are part of the ministry’s long term plan to provide 500,000 units in the long term2. Real estate service company Jones Lang LaSalle estimates annual demand for housing to be between 150,000 and 200,000 units per year.

Growth in the sector is supported by demographic, economic, and regulatory factors. A rising population, changing family structure and current age demographics are the main demographic factors that may have an effect on demand. Economic factors include a potential rise in household income, cost of borrowing and liquidity, and relative low home ownership. Implementation of the mortgage law, and the new structure decided by the ministry of housing to provide developed land along with a loan to build housing units are the main regulatory factors that might have an effect on demand.

Demand is expected to remain healthy in the long term. Long term support by the government fueling direct and indirect demand for construction material is bound to keep demand at high levels at least till the end of 2014.

Plant expansion to strengthen the prime businessIn order to further expand its footing in the Saudi market, and to take advantage of the current construction boom in Saudi Arabia, the company expanded its capacity by replacing its double-firing tile production lines in 2nd factory with a single firing-firing system, increasing its capacity in the process by 8mn sqm. The company was also looking to start a new tile production line with a capacity of 4mn sqm in 2013, however due to some unforeseen reasons the project is expected to commission in 1Q-2015.

The company is also looking to expand its sanitary ware business, as it looks to double its capacity from 2.5mn unit to 5mn units in two phases. The 1st phase will add around 18,000 tons of capacity which roughly stand at 1.0mn units. The plant is expected to be operational towards the end of 3Q-2014. The company expects to add SAR 75mn3 to the top line from the 1st phase of the factory.

The company is also looking to expand its ceramic markers business however no details have been provided.

Revenue to see dilution… as new business lines become operationalThe company’s direction in expanding its business is quite clear as it is looking to expand its offering within the building and construction sector. In 2012, the company announced that it is looking to enter the red brick business. For that matter, in 2012, the company announced its plans to establish a red brick factory with a capacity of 330,000tons per annum. The plant is expected to be operational in 2H-2014.

Management also highlighted that it is further looking to diversify its product mix within the confines of the building and construction sector. The company is looking to enter plastics business, which will be first used internally and the rest will be sold to the market. This we believe will help the company in reducing its cost.

On the back of expanding capacity and new product lines, we expect the company to show strong growth in its profitability from 2012-2016 we expect the company to post CAGR of 7.9%.

Easy access to financing...supporting growth prospectsThe company historically has partly financed its projects through debt financing. The company has maintained a debt to equity ratio of 38%4 on average during 2009-2012. We believe going forward the status quo will remain as the company will look to finance its future project through debt and self financing. This we believe is due to the soft lending terms at competitive rates that the company enjoys from Saudi Industrial development fund(SIDF). Going forward we believe the D/E ratio will go down, primarily due to the increase in the size of the share holder equity.

Fuel Allocation to new plants

The company receives fuel at a subsidized rates. All the company’s factories are run on subsidized fuel. However due to the on-going efforts by the government to curb fuel usage, the company is finding it hard to get allocation for its new factories. We believe, in-line with the governments initiative to provide affordable housing for the masses, it will be a conflict of interest for the government to stop fuel allocation for the building and construction sector.

Chinese Dumping a threat

Ceramic tiles from China has been treated as a threat from multiple countries as they are selling below the manufacturing cost. Countries like Brazil, Argentina, India and countries from the European Union has put an anti-dumping duty, on Chinese ceramic products in order to control irrational pricing.

Saudi Ceramics is also facing competition from the Chinese imports, as according to the company the selling price of Chinese products is even below the cost of production, the company is pushing hard for an anti-dumping duty on Chinese products in-order to level the playing field.

Electric Water Heater margins- a function of steel price

The company water heater business margins are inversely related to steel prices, due to which the profitability of the division swings with the change in steel prices. Going forward we believe without the absence of any hedging the margins will fluctuate with the changes in the steel prices.
