EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In line with the global trend among airlines, Turkish carriers’ stocks are now trading well below their historical
multiples given the challenging demand environment. Furthermore, greater capacity introductions could trigger
irrational price wars. It seems to be an industrywide problem. Normally, we would think Turkish players should
deserve a premium given their relatively lower cost base and strong growth prospects, but, because of geopolitics
and capacity constraints at Istanbul’s airports we believe Turkish carriers are really no different from global ones.
We prefer being defensive until we see a pick up in demand, which has probably been weak in June along with
aggressive capacity introductions by the carriers. Therefore, the full year performance of the carriers is highly linked
to 3Q16, in our view. As a result, until we see a convincing recovery in demand, being defensive regarding the sector
(CLEBI and TAVHL) is more prudent, in our view.
Our top pick is CLEBI among our coverage as: i) it will benefit from Turkish carriers’ aggressive capacity introductions
and strong operating figures in India (total number of handled aircraft up by 80% in 1Q16 after 58% in 2015), ii) we
believe that India will likely cover the loss of Pegasus’ ramp handling business (c5% of revenues) at Sabiha Gokcen
Airport (SAW) - India’s contribution to total EBITDA was 26% in 1Q16 vs. 19% in 1Q15, iii) since SAW is highly
congested, Pegasus’ capacity additions will be in other Turkish airports, where Celebi services Pegasus, in our view.,
iv) it has the highest ROE (c50%) and dividend yield (c10%) and v) it is the worst performer ytd and the stock is now
c35% below to the amount paid by Actera in 2013 for the acquisition of a 39.12% stake.
We are upgrading TAV Airports to Outperform from Market Perform. Even under the worst case scenario (no
operations at IST in 2019 and 2020 and no compensation), we find a 22% upside potential vs. our base of 38%. The
stock is trading at 44% and 39% discounts to its 5-year historic average 1- year forward looking P/E and EV/EBITDA
multiples, respectively.
We are downgrading Turkish Airlines (THY) to Market Perform from Outperform as the weakness in demand
continues in 2Q16 with unsupportive currency movements on the balance sheet side. Furthermore, we would like to
see a recovery in demand before becoming positive on the stock despite our conservative assumptions.
We are downgrading DO&CO to Market Perform from Outperform although we like its long-term growth prospects.
Note that stock movements are highly linked to corporate action announcements. It seems that the company is no
longer in the running to acquire a stake in Servair, the catering unit of Air France-KLM. However, a major contract
could potentially be added in Asia according to DO &CO’s management. Until a value accretive acquisition or
partnership with an airline materializes, we do not expect the stock to outperform. The company has recently guided
for single-digit growth this year vs. double-digit growth in the previous years, reflecting their cautiousness. Its
multiples look expensive as well.

Passenger trends: Turkish passenger numbers grew by 4% yoy in 5M16 with 12% growth in domestic passenger numbers
vs. the 6% decrease in international passengers. The growth was 2% at Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IAA) vs. 18% at Sabiha
Gokcen Airport (SAW). In 5M16, Turkish Airlines (THY) increased its total pax figure by 8% on an annual basis, while that of
Pegasus Airlines (Pegasus) was 14%. We assume 10% pax growth for THY vs. 12% for Pegasus in 2016.
Capacity growth at full speed: THY and Pegasus plan to increase their Available-Seat-Km (ASK) by 19-20% in 2016.
Considering the pressures on demand and the carriers’ market share gain strategies, 2016 is likely to see stiff competition.
Given that the opening of Istanbul’s new airport will likely be in 2018 or after, current capacities at Istanbul’s airports will be
another issue to be closely followed. The good news is that there is an ongoing new terminal investment at IAA, providing
10mn in additional capacity to be ready within a couple of months. However, the completion of the second runaway at SAW,
doubling of capacity will most likely be in 2018 or later.
Let’s be conservative: Given the challenging demand environment due to elevated security/geopolitical risks and the global
slowdown, we witnessed weaker traffic figures compared to the introduced capacity in the sector. We believe that investors
should be ready for the worst case scenario where Turkish aviation stocks are concerned. In that regard, we applied a very
conservative approach to our forecasts. We projected a significant annual contraction in 2016E RASK (Total Revenue/Total
ASK) forecasts for THY and Pegasus by 11% (in USD) and 13% (in EUR), respectively, bringing our key operational
profitability metric, the difference between RASK and CASK (Total Cost/Total ASK) to extremely low levels. Given the ytd
trend, we assumed a 3 pps and 2 pps decline in the load factors for THY and Pegasus, respectively in 2016. Under those
assumptions, our projections suggest 3.2 pps and 0.9 pps contractions yoy in the EBITDAR margins of THY and Pegasus.
We have reduced our EBITDA forecasts for DO&CO and CLEBI by 8% on average for 2016 and 2017 and by 5% for TAV.
Guidance: A downward revision to the traffic guidance is likely for THY given the ytd trend: THY’s management targets
USD12.2bn in revenues (GSe:USD11.2bn), carrying 72mn passengers (GSe:67mn), while guiding for an increase in its ASK
to186bn (GSe:183bn) with a 78% load factor (GSe:75%). In its very recent announcement, THY announced that it has
maintained its EBITDAR margin guidance of 20-22% vs. 24.5% in 2015. Note that this margin guidance is based on the
company’s calculations and includes other income/expenses and profits from its subsidiaries. Thus, our forecasts point to a
19.5% EBITDAR margin instead of 17.0%. On the other hand, Pegasus foresees 18-20% growth in ASK and 13-15% growth
in pax figures with the load factor expected to remain stable with flat yields on the domestic side vs. the downward trend in
the load factor and yields on the international front due to capacity increases, competition and geopolitics. Our forecasts are
conservative compared to management’s on the traffic front. Pegasus’ management guides for a 2-3% decrease in CASK in
2016 with our forecast of a 7% decrease. We assume Pegasus’s EBITDAR margin to be 18.6% in 2016 vs. the guidance of
19-21%. TAV is guiding for 7-9% growth in revenues and EBITDAR for 2016 with a 10-12% improvement at the bottom line
vs. our forecasts of c3% growth across the board. Contrary to pervious years’ double-digit growth, DO&CO guides for single-
digit growth this year, which is in line with our projections.
Remaining defensive until there is a pick up in demand: We believe that the weakness in demand will continue in June due
to Ramadan. All the same, it seems that Turkish carriers are not retreating from their aggressive capacity expansion plans.
Therefore, the full year performance of the carriers is highly linked to 3Q16, in our view. Thus, it is likely that pressure on the
shares will continue until the end of 3Q16. As a result, until we see a convincing recovery in demand, being defensive
regarding the sector (CLEBI and TAVHL) is more prudent, in our view. THY and TAVHL approved a share buy-back
program and allocated TL500mn and TL100mn for the program. The program could limit the downside for the shares.
Valuation: After revisiting our forecasts and taking into account the tough demand dynamics and that the competition has
fared so far beyond our initial expectations, we cut our 2016 EBITDA margin estimates by 1.4 and 0.8 pps for THY and
Pegasus. Our valuation for the airlines is based on our target 2016E EV/EBITDAR multiple (6.8x for the both carriers). We
do not think that Pegasus Airlines deserves a higher multiple given that high congestion at its hub and THY’ upper hand in
the bilateral agreement. We value TAVHL through a sum-of-the parts (SOTP) valuation, while using DCF for Celebi and
DO&CO. We also adjusted our valuations for TAVHL, CLEBI and DO&CO following their quarterly financials. Accordingly,
we reduced our 12-month forward target share prices (TP) by 34% to TL7.25 for THY, 23% to TL16.00 for Pegasus, 7% to
TL19.00 for TAVHL, 10% to TL34.20 for CLEBI and 6% to TL350.00 for DO&CO. We are maintaining our recommendations
for Pegasus and Celebi. We upgraded TAVHL to Outperform from Market Perform as even under the worst case scenario
(see page 59), we still find an 22% upside for the shares. We downgraded DO&CO to Market Perform from Outperform on
its cautious outlook and limited visibility for a new partnership or M&A. We also downgraded THY to Market Perform from
Outperform as the weakness in demand continues in 2Q16 with unsupportive currency movements on the balance sheet
side and we would like to see a recovery in demand before becoming positive on the stock despite our conservative
assumptions.
Risks: A slowdown in passenger growth momentum, weaker than expected unit revenues or a deteriorating cost base are
the key risks for airlines. Visa-free travel to Europe for Turkish citizens would be positive for the sector players . A delay in
Istanbul’s new airport construction and new terminal tender award would be the upside risks for TAVHL. Key upside risks
include potential partnerships with new clients or M&As for CLEBI and DO&CO.

RECOMMENDATIONS & VALUATIONS
THY
Recommendation: Market Perform. We believe that THY has differentiated itself on the basis of its
service quality and competitiveness. Istanbul’s geographical advantage and the airline’s relatively
low labor costs enhance THY’s competitiveness. As an emerging international travel hub, Istanbul
will enable the airline to boost its transit passenger numbers and better utilize its fleet and seat
capacity. With a young fleet, improved brand awareness and increased capacity, THY is in a position
to capture market share from EU carriers, which struggle to offer high quality service and capacity
additions with their relatively old fleets. We believe a relatively low cost structure will set the stage for
continued profitable growth for the coming years. The new terminal investment at its hub, adding a
10mn passenger capacity, could serve as a positive for the airline. Less than 2% of THY’s total
revenues are generated from Russia and transit pax (up by 18% in 5M16) are the main driver.
THY’s shares have underperformed the BIST100 index by 18% in last three months and 26% ytd.
The stock is trading at 43% and 9% discounts to its five-year historic average 12-month forward
looking P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples, respectively. We think that the bulk of the underperformance
is related to: i) its weak 1Q16 financials, ii) deteriorating demand conditions due to concerns and iii) a
likely market share war during the year given the newly introduced capacity across the board by all
carriers. In the coming months, we assume a continuing decline in the RASK given THY’s expansion
plans and increasing competition along with reduced demand due to security/geopolitical risks.
Note that after many years, 2016 will be the last year for THY in terms of a sizeable seat capacity
expansion. As such, the market would be ready for strong operating figures in 2017 and a recovery
in share prices starting from end-3Q16 if a pick up in demand materializes.
However, the weakness in demand is continuing in 2Q16 with unsupportive currency movements on
the balance sheet side. We would like to see a recovery in demand before becoming positive on the
stock despite our conservative assumptions.
Risks. A sharper than expected decline in revenue yields, a decline in economic activity and
worsening security/geopolitical conditions pose risks. The continued appreciation of the JPY and
EUR is another negative for the airline given its huge short FX position. However, the share buy-back
program at TL500mn should limit the downside risks for the shares, in our view.
New 12-month forward target price of TL7.25/share vs. TL11.04/share before. Our 12-month
forward looking target share price of TL7.25 derived from our target EV/EBITDAR multiple offers a
22% upside potential for THY. Our valuation for THY is based on the 2016E target EV/EBITDAR
multiple. To reach our target Mcap, we adjusted the net debt to 7x the aircraft related rental
expenses. We employed a 6.8 target multiple for THY, which is the five-year average EV/EBITDAR
multiple.

Recommendation: Market Perform. Pegasus Airlines is the number one LCC and second largest
carrier in Turkey. Given its proven track record on growth in an underpenetrated sector coupled with
its ambitious expansion plans and effective cost management, Pegasus will be one of the key
beneficiaries of increasing GDP and attractive demographics, which bodes well for discount carriers.
Using SAW as its main hub, Pegasus differentiates itself from an ordinary LCC whose business
models are based solely on point to point travel. Pegasus operates like both a network and a point to
point carrier thanks to Istanbul’s geographical advantage connecting 50 countries within three hours
flight time. Furthermore, we think Pegasus’ low cost management enables the airline to boast one of
the lowest CASK levels on the back of its young fleet and low labor costs. Although we find Pegasus’
growth prospects attractive, we doubt that Pegasus will be able to achieve cost efficiencies over its
competitors in 2016 due to exchange rate pressure, changes in its fleet mix and initial ramp handling
investments. Potential competition from THY could also put some pressure on the airline.We would
want to see some improvement in KPIs before adopting a more positive stance on the stock. We
believe progress in building a second runway at SAW will be the key factor to watch for in
overcoming the drawbacks stemming from congestion at the airport. The shares do not look cheap
and risks to Pegasus Airlines’ operations are on the downside, in our view. We believe Pegasus’
shares offer a balanced risk reward profile and we maintain our Market Perform recommendation for
the shares.
Risks. The key risks would be elevated security/geopolitical concerns, stiff competition, limited
international expansion and longer than expected congestion at its hub. The execution of its own
ramp handling would be another risk.
New 12-month forward target price of TL16.00/share vs. TL20.92/share before. We value
Pegasus using a 2016E target EV/EBITDAR multiple. In our EV/EBITDAR multiple valuation, we
apply a 2016E EV/EBITDAR multiple of 6.8x, which is the same as THY’s. Given the high congestion
at its hub and THY’s upper hand in the bilateral agreement, we do not think that Pegasus Airlines
deserve a higher multiple. Finally, to reach our target Mcap, we adjusted the net debt to 7x the
aircraft related rental expenses.

TAV Airports Recommendation: Outperform.TAV Airports is Turkey’s leading airport terminal operator. The
Company operates Istanbul Ataturk, Ankara Esenboga and Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport and is
located in Turkey’s three largest cities. TAV Airports’ business structure ensures high operating
leverage, and since passenger fees are mainly fixed, higher volumes going forward will be the major
growth driver for TAV and will also support its retail operations. In addition to a solid long-term
outlook, we believe the company should benefit from the current macro environment as the lion’s
share of revenues are based in hard currencies. It has underperformed the BIST-100 by 34% since
November 24, 2015 and by 26% ytd. We think that TAV is being heavily punished due to the
possible early termination of Ataturk Airport's operations (expected in 2018), elevated security
concerns/geopolitical risks and the lack of visibility for TAV Airports to add sizable new projects to its
portfolio. Even if we assume no compensation from the government regarding the early termination
of Ataturk Airport (no FCFs from 2019 and 2020), we find a 22% upside for the shares. If we include
50% of our anticipated FCFs from 2019 and 2020 in our model given that the company will be
negotiating over the compensation regarding the early termination, the upside increases to 38%. We
believe that TAV Airports is likely to outperform as a defensive pick with solid qualities given: i.) its
anticipated margin improvement in 1H16 vs. the contraction for airlines, ii) its position as the main
beneficiary of the anticipated recovery in demand with the high season and regional diversification,
iii) a less unfavorable currency mismatch and iv) attractive dividend payments. The stock is trading at
44% and 39% discounts to its five-year historic average 1- year forward looking P/E and EV/EBITDA
multiples, respectively.
Risks. Key risks include a slowdown in passenger traffic growth, increasing political tensions in its
regions of operation, failure to replace IAA or overpaying for acquisitions.
New 12-month forward target price of TL19.00/share vs. TL20.39/share before. We value TAV
Airports using a sum-of the parts (SOTP) analysis based on our target Net Asset Value (NAV). We
employed a DCF analysis to value each of the Company’s operations separately. Our valuation is
solely based on DCF as we believe DCF analysis is the most appropriate means of reflecting TAV
Airports’ long-term growth potential and its well designed structure. We only valued TAV Airports’
existing airport operations, not taking into account any terminal value and assuming that it would
neither win any new tenders, nor would be awarded another term upon the expiry of its current
concession agreements. On the other hand, as the services companies’ operations will not end with
the expiry of operating rights at the airports, we included a terminal value in calculating the value of
the services companies.

Celebi
Recommendation:Outperform. We expect the Company to post an average c50% ROE over the
next two years and its net debt/EBITDA ratio to decline from 2.9x in end-2013 to 1.2x in end-2018.
Assuming a 90% pay-out ratio, we anticipate an 11% dividend yield from 2016E earnings. The bulk
of Celebi’s revenues are in FX (79%), while 59% of its costs are also in FX with no exposure to the
volatility in oil prices. The shares have underperformed the BIST-100 by 35% ytd. The loss of
Pegasus at SAW in June 2016 might be exaggerated. Celebi announced that it recorded EUR13mn
from Pegasus in 2015, corresponding to c5% of total revenues. Since Pegasus Airlines is a low cost
carrier, the real impact on Celebi’s operations would be more limited than initially thought. It is also a
beneficiary of competition among airlines given the increased traffic movements. Its geographical
diversification is another plus for the Company. We believe the strength in its operating figures in
India will continue this year. The total number of handled aircraft was up by 80% in 1Q16 after the
58% growth in 2015. India’s contribution to total EBITDA was 26% in 1Q16 vs. 19% in 1Q15. The
stock is trading at 26% and 17% discounts to its five-year historic average 12-month forward looking
P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples, respectively. It is c30% below the amount paid by Actera in 2013 for
the acquisition of the 39.12% stake
Risks. Risks include the loss of another major airline contract, a crisis in the airline sector, higher
than expected margin pressure from the loss of Pegasus Airlines, changes in the laws regarding
operation in the sector, an overly expensive acquisition and an imminent share overhang from
private equity ownership.
New 12-month forward target price of TL34.20/share vs. the previous TL38.00/share. We are
employing DCF as our preferred valuation methodology for Celebi to better reflect its growth
prospects. Our 12-month target price indicates a 49% upside for the shares.

June 22, 2016
DO&CO Recommendation:Market Perform. We are downgrading DO&CO to Market Perform from
Outperform. As the world’s seventh largest airline caterer, DO&CO is unique with its integrated
structure and we believe DO & CO’s business is becoming increasingly exposed to emerging
markets, providing investors with an opportunity to benefit from its strong growth prospects. THY is
the key driver of prospective growth with the airline set to add 140 aircraft to its fleet by 2023,
targeting 120mn pax compared to 61mn in 2015. In addition to the organic growth potential of its on-
going operations, the Company has always been in pursuit of inorganic growth. It has a proven track
record in acquiring companies which lack a financially-solid balance sheet structure and successfully
and profitably integrating them into its business. DO&CO acquired Hediard, a gourmet food retailer in
France, in July 2014, and Arena One, the caterer of Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena, in December
2013. DO & CO also won the contract to provide catering for UEFA EURO 2016 in October 2014. It
also entered Korea through a partnership with Sharp Aviation. Furthermore, in February 2015, DO &
CO formed a 50/50 JV with Nespresso in which initially there will be a trial period in the Viennese
and London markets. The long awaited opening of the Istanbul Hotel will also take place in 2016. On
December 1, 2015, the Company sold “Haas Haus” to Atilla Dogudan Privatstiftung, which is the
Chairman’s investment company, under the same conditions that DO&CO had acquired the premise.
After this disposal, the Company now has low indebtedness and is ready for future acquisitions, in
our view.
Although we like the its growth prospects in the long term, stock movements are highly linked to
corporate action announcements. It seems that the company is no longer in the running to acquire a
stake in Servair, the catering unit of Air France-KLM. Until a value accretive acquisition or
partnership with an airline materializes, we do not expect the stock to outperform. In the earnings call
in the beginning of May, the company guided for single-digit growth this year vs. double-digit growth
in the previous years, reflecting their cautiousness. Its multiples look expensive as well.
Risks. The loss of any of the major airline contracts, especially THY (to be renewed in 2016), a crisis
in the airline sector, a delay in the opening of Istanbul Hotel, longer than expected margin pressure
from newly invested operations, an overpaid acquisition and a potentially high capex requirement for
Istanbul’s new airport pose risks.
New 12-month forward target price of TL350.00/share (EUR100) vs. the previous TL371.34/
share (EUR107.00). We are employing DCF as our preferred valuation methodology for DO&CO to
better reflect its growth prospects. Our 12-month target price indicates a 24% upside for the shares.

We have tabulated the multiples below to provide a perspective on where TAVHL and CLEBI stand
against other international players in the sector. Most of TAVHL’s peers totally own the airports they
operate and therefore a terminal value is calculated when valuating these airports. Conversely,
TAVHL operates its airports under the BOT scheme or operational lease agreement. As a result of
this difference, we have not opted for a peer comparison in our fair value calculation. We do not rely
on a peer comparison as our key valuation tool for Celebi since most of its peers have terminal
operations, while Celebi does not. Moreover, we believe a peer comparison understates the growth
potential in the markets in which the companies operate, especially in Turkey and India given the low
trip per capita and underpenetrated market. As such, we believe near-term multiples are not
sufficient to lead to a definitive conclusion in terms of the valuation.
Peer comparison not a definitive guide for DO&CO
Peer comparison sheds some light on where DO & CO stands against similar companies in terms of
valuation. The Company trades at a discount to its peers on the basis of its EV/EBITDA multiple
(unadjusted), while trading at a premium on the basis of its P/E multiple. If we adjust DO & CO’s EV/
EBITDA with its minorities, it would appear to be trading at premium. We do not rely on a peer
comparison as our key valuation tool for the Company.

It seems the industry is de-rating the airlines. The fact that all global carriers are trading well below
their historical average multiples cause us to believe that the industry is in a down cycle given that
the challenging demand environment coupled with greater capacity introductions might lead to
irrational price wars. As seen below, there are substantial discounts to historical averages in the
industry across the board. With a cost structure somewhere between FCC and LCC, we believe that
THY should trade somewhere in the middle of the FCC multiple and the LCC multiple.

discount. In addition to security concerns regarding Turkey, we attribute this situation to their specific

Comments from the industry players following the recent quarterly earnings show that there is a very
challenging environment ahead and capacity reductions could be in the cards.
*We complied the statements below from company presentations and various newspaper/ websites:
09/05/2016 - THY said that forward booking trends indicate that: i) there will be a weak demand
environment in 2Q16 (especially in European and Asian traffic, while Africa, the U.S. and Eastern
Europe will be relatively stronger and ii) yield pressures will decline in 2H16 (Company presentation).
10/05/2016 - Pegasus Airlines said that there is a flat load factor and yields (in TL) on the domestic
side vs. the downside trend in the load factor and yields (in EUR) due to the capacity increase,
competition and geopolitics factors (Company presentation).
22/04/2016 - American Airlines said that the revenue environment remains challenging. We don’t
view the current revenue trends as acceptable or long-term. Revenue suffered from capacity
reductions domestically and from soft foreign ticket sales based on the strong U.S. Dollar
(USAtoday).
17/04/2016 - United said it expects that a key revenue-per-seat figure will keep falling in the second
quarter, when airline fortunes usually pick up. United was prepared to reduce capacity, a method
airlines use to increase fares by reducing the supply of seats. United has already made some cuts in
Houston, Brazil, and the Middle East (bidnessetc).
21/05/2016 - United Airlines reduced its 2016 capacity growth plans by 0.5 percentage points last
month.
- Delta Air Lines is also ratcheting back on capacity growth. In Q4, domestic capacity will rise just
2.5% year over year, compared to 4%-plus growth in the first three quarters of 2016. Meanwhile,
international capacity will remain flat-to-down year over year throughout 2016, with capacity down
across all regions during Q4.
- American Airlines is also slashing its growth. Last month, the carrier announced that it will increase
international capacity just 2.5% year over year in 2016, compared to its original plan for 6% growth
(nasdaq.com).
17/05/2016 - Lufthansa said its earnings improvement will slow this year despite a strong tailwind
from lower fuel costs, signaling the continued challenges the airline faces in restoring
competitiveness. CFO Simone Menne also said the rise in oil prices in recent days is causing the
airline to be cautious about its outlook. Passengers are booking more last minute, weighing on ticket
prices. CEO Carsten Spohr said Lufthansa, which had planned to raise the number of seats on offer
by 6.6% this year, now intends to bring that to below 6%, without specifying the exact figure (WSJ
and Reuters).
29/04/2016 - IAG CEO Willie Walsh said the airline group would cut its 2016 capacity growth to
4.9% from a previously planned 5.2% (thisismoney).
18/04/2016 - Qantas said it had revised plans to increase seat capacity in April, May and June
because customers were flying less (smh).
05/04/2016 - Air France said that it faces "a high level of uncertainty" for the rest of the year, with
"downward pressure on unit revenue" as well as adverse exchange rates likely to offset much of the
savings on fuel and other costs. (morningstar).
30/05/2016 - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said that the bulk of the slowdown
in the total international growth rate relates to European carriers – the largest region in such terms –
following the Brussels terrorist attacks in mid-March. As is usually the pattern following such shock
events, we expect traffic to recover somewhat over the coming months and for the solid upward trend
in traffic to reestablish itself. The ‘Within Europe’ market expanded by over 12% in the first quarter of
2016, helped by surprisingly robust economic growth in the region during the start of the year.

Then the question arises — Whether Turkish players deserve premium or not?. . Normally, we would
think Turkish players should deserve a premium given their relatively lower cost base and strong
growth prospects, but, because of geopolitics and capacity constraints at Istanbul’s airports we
believe Turkish carriers are really no different from global ones. They are among the largest
underperformers ytd and since late November.

Lessons from the past — Do not let short-term weakness blur the solid fundamentals, be ready for
strong operating figures in 2017 and a recovery in the share prices starting from end-3Q16 if a pick
up in demand materializes... Normally, we are not troubled Turkish carriers’ capacity introductions as
there were 32 and nine per annum net additions to the fleet of THY and Pegasus since 2012 without
hurting their operational profitability. However, this year differs from the 2012-2015 period as demand
is not strong enough to match the capacity increase in 2016 given the global slowdown and security
concerns. Therefore, the pressure on revenue yields is the main theme surrounding airlines stocks.
Given this backdrop, it is no surprise to see a margin contraction for Turkish carriers, which was also
signaled by THY in the beginning of the year when it guided for a 2.5-4.5 pps decline in its EBITDAR
margin. However, it is worth noting that after many years, 2016 will be the last year for THY in terms
of a sizeable seat capacity expansion. As seen below, THY will increase its seat capacity by 1% in
2017 after the 16% in 2016. Therefore, we expect an increase in THY’s load factors and operating
margins in 2017. Less capacity by THY should also mean an easing in the competition for Pegasus.
In that context, we think 2016 will be similar to 2011 given the tough competition, negative impact on
passenger volumes due to political unrest in MENA and the Japanese earthquake in 2011. THY
registered a 25% increase in its ASK and sought market share gains in 2011. THY’ shares lost 53%
in value (underperformed the BIST100 index by 24%) in 2011, yet gained 196% (vs. 52% for the
index) in 2012. We expect a similar pattern for THY in the coming period.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SECTOR
Terrorist attacks raise security concerns in Turkey
There were five terorist attacks in Turkey’s largest two cities since October 2015. Those attacks
increased concerns about security in Turkey. Following those incidents, we witnessed a capacity
reduction in tourism. The Brussel atacks in March 2016 also hit global demand in the sector.
The 2016 European Football Championship in June in Paris might revive demand. As seen below,
the bookings from Turkey for the tournament period ( June 10-10 July) were up 26% yoy, according
to ForwardKeys.

Capacity issues at Istanbul airports
As of 2015, IST and SAW handled 61mn (up 8% yoy ) and 28mn (up 20% yoy ) passengers
respectively vs. their estimated capacity of 65mn and 33mn. Those suggest 93% and 90% utilization
in terms of passengers. First of all, there is an ongoing new terminal investment at IST, providing
10mn in additional capacity to be ready within a couple of months. There is an idle satellite runway
that could be used under tough circumstances at SAW. The second runway construction at SAW has
finally started. The second runway is expected to be completed in 2018, but the two runways will not
become operational until 2Q19 as the first runway will be shut down for maintenance. We expect that
SAW can comfortably handle the demand until the end of 2020 once the two runways become
operational. With the second runaway, capacity at SAW will reach 50mn and this will be sufficient to
handle the growth until 2020. It is highly likely that Istanbul’s new airport will become operational by
then and the congestion at the SAW will no longer be an issue.

Turkish Air Traffic figures ytd
In 5M16, total passenger traffic increased by 4.0% yoy to 65.9mn. Domestic passengers were up by
11.5% to 40.8mn and international passengers registered a 6.2% decrease to 25.1mn. Recall that in
2015 total passenger traffic increased by 9.4% yoy to 181.4mn. Domestic passengers were up by
14.1% yoy to 97.5mn and international passengers were up by 4.4% yoy to 83.9mn. Meanwhile, total
passenger traffic at Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IAA), the flagship airport of TAV Airports (TAVHL) and
the main hub of Turkish Airlines (THYAO), reached 5.2mn (1.7mn domestic, 3.4mn international) in
May 2016, declining by 5.2% (up 2.2% in 5M16 vs. 12.6% in May 2015). The annual decline at IAA
was 6.1% for international (a 12.4% increase in May 2016 and 8.7% in 5M16) vs. a 3.1% contraction
(a 13.1% increase in May 2015 and a 4.4% increase in 5M16) for domestic passengers in the month.
On the other hand, total passenger traffic at SAW , the main hub of Pegasus Airlines (PGSUS),
reached 2.7mn (1.8mn domestic, 0.8mn international) in May, indicating 10.5% yoy growth (up by
17.7% in 5M16 vs. 23.3% in May 2015), driven by the 15.4% growth on the domestic side vs. the
1.2% growth on the international front. We project that total passenger traffic will reach 233mn by
2018E, following an 8.8% CAGR between 2015-2018. We forecast 8% growth in international
passenger traffic with 9% growth in domestic passenger traffic during the same period. The State
Airports Authority (DHMI) anticipates a CAGR of 9% between 2015-2018, parallel to our forecast in
overall terms.

Latest on third airport
In line with the government’s target of making Istanbul an international hub for air travel, a tender for
the third airport in Istanbul was held in May 2013, where the Cengiz-Kolin-Limak-Mapa-Kalyon
consortium submitted the winning bid, offering a total of EUR22,152mn in rent (EUR26,139mn
including an 18% VAT) over a period of 25 years (EUR1,046mn per annum). The new airport will be
completed in four phases. Once complete, the airport will have a pax capacity of 150mn. The first
phase, which will have a pax capacity of 90mn, is expected to be completed in 2018. The plot for
Istanbul’s new airport project was officially handed over to the winning consortium as of May 2015.
Istanbul New Airport's initial financing agreement was signed on October 2015. The amount of
financing will be around EUR4.5bn, of which 70% will be provided by state banks. State banks (Ziraat
Bank; EUR1.48bn, Vakifbank (VAKBN TI); EUR0.96bn and Halkbank (HALKB TI); EUR0.96bn) will
provide a EUR3.4bn loan to Istanbul’s new airport Project, while the remaining (EUR1.1bn) will be
provided by three private banks (Denizbank (DENIZ TI); EUR0.5bn, Garantibank (GARAN TI);
EUR0.3bn, Finansbank (FINBN TI); EUR0.3bn) and the loan has a four-year grace period with a 16-
year maturity. The loan will bear 4.25% interest for the first 10 years. The Limak-Mapa-Kalyon-
Cengiz-Kolin Consortium will provide EUR 1.5bn of their own equity towards the construction of the
airport. Turkish law will have jurisdiction over the financing package and Istanbul will be the center for
arbitration should there be any disagreements regarding the loan.The State Airports Authority (DHMI)
will guarantee the loan should there be any unforeseen developments regarding repayment.

Sensitivity to FX & Oil price
THY (functional currency is USD): Due to the currency mismatch in THY’s operations (FX
denominated costs account for 69% of THY’s total costs, while FX denominated revenues account
for 83% of revenues), the TL weakness effectively serves to support THY’s profitability. However, the
company has a short FX position in EUR and JPY on its balance sheet.
Pegasus Airlines (functional currency is EUR): Some 59% of Pegasus’s total revenues are
denominated in hard currencies (27% in USD, 29% in EUR), while 69% of total costs are in hard
currency (55% in USD, 23% in EUR). Therefore, Pegasus benefits from a strong EUR against the TL
and USD from an operational perspective. It carries a long FX position in USD and TL on its balance
sheet.

TAV Airports (functional currency is EUR): Since 73% of total revenues are in hard currencies,
the company is highly exposed to FX volatility through its businesses, while 60% of its costs are in
TL. Hence, TL weakness bodes well for TAVHL operationally. According to its 1Q16 footnotes, a
10% weakening of the USD and TL against the EUR would reflect as TL15mn and TL4mn in FX
losses, respectively on the income statement.
Celebi (functional currency is TL): The majority of revenues are in FX (79%), while that of costs is
59%. The Company’s hard currency revenues allow Celebi to display defensive characteristics in a
volatile market. It has some FX positions in EUR and INR on the balance sheet.

DO&CO (functional currency is EUR): DO & CO is a naturally hedged company as it generates
about 40-45% of its revenues in EUR terms, 35-40% in TL and around 10% in GBP and USD terms
(a similar structure also applies for the cost side).
The Company is seeking to match the currency structure of its costs to revenues by establishing
production sites and sourcing products as locally as possible and by funding capex in local currency.
However, a simple local revenue translation to EUR could have a serious impact in case of a
weakening in the local currency against the reporting currency (the EUR). Turkish DO & CO’s
revenues, which comprise some 35% of DO & CO’s total revenues, are TL denominated. Therefore,
any depreciation of the TL could diminish revenues.

Fuel expenses represent the largest cost item for airlines. Fuel expenses account for around
35% of total costs for both THY and Pegasus. Low hedge ratios of Turkish carriers should mean a
greater benefit from the lower oil prices.
Hedging. The airlines have an active hedging strategy for their fuel costs through swaps and
options. The fuel surcharge is also a part of their policy. THY has currently hedged 43% of its fuel
expenses for 2016 compared to 60% for Pegasus. THY’s blended oil price is USD48/bbl under the
assumption of an average Brent price of USD40/bbl. According to our calculations, the blended price
for Pegasus is USD52/bbl. Airlines have an active hedging strategy for their fuel costs through swaps
and options.
Impact on financials. Our base case scenario assumes an average Brent price of USD40/bbl in
2016. All else being equal, each USD5/bbl change in our assumption for oil prices results in an 8%
change in the 2016E EBITDAR for THYAO, or a 6% change in that of PGSUS. That translates into a
1.3 pps EBITDAR margin difference for THYAO vs. the 1.1 pps difference for PGSUS. Meanwhile,
each 1% change in the EUR/USD exchange rate would have a 2% impact on the projected 2016E
EBITDAR for THY and a 1% impact on the same multiple for Pegasus. Our sensitivity analysis
regarding the change in the 2016E average Brent price and EUR/USD rate is tabulated below.

Turkish Airlines Market Perform (Prev. Outperform)
Overshadowed by short-term headwinds
We are downgrading THY to Market Perform from Outperform
and are cutting our 12-month forward target price by 34% to
TL7.25, indicating a 22% upside potential. Our downward
revisions are based on our expectation of a greater contraction
in revenue yields given its capacity expansion plans and
ongoing stiff competition in the sector.
We reduced our EBITDA and net income estimates by 16%
and 50% on average for the 2016-2017 period as we now
expect a very low spread between unit revenues and costs and
higher financial expenses.
The stock is trading at a 43% and 9% discount to its five-year
historic average 1- year forward looking P/E and EV/EBITDA
multiples, respectively. That said, we would like to see a
recovery in demand before becoming positive on the stock
despite our conservative assumptions.
A number of factors pulled down the shares ytd: The weakness in
traffic figures in the recent quarters due to security/geopolitical
risks, the anticipation of a greater contraction in revenue yields
and the estimated huge loss in profitability driven by the short JPY
and EUR positions so far this year kept investors away from the
stock in our view.
3Q16 will be the key to build a positive stance for the stock: Given
the anticipated weakness in demand for June due to Ramadan, all
hopes are linked to 3Q16 to see a better yield outlook. On the
other hand, non-fuel costs seem to be under control with a flattish
figure despite the temporary headwinds from personnel, sales and
marketing and maintenance costs in 1Q16. Excluding the
aforementioned temporary impacts, we roughly calculated a 2.3
pps decline in THY’s EBITDAR margin 1Q16 vs. the actual 8.1 pps
decline. We expect the new terminal at its hub to alleviate the cost
pressures due to congestion starting from this August.
Conservatism in place: The Company foresees 18% pax growth
with a 78% load factor vs. our 10% and 75% expectations,
respectively. THY targets a 2.5-4.5 pps decline in its EBITDAR
margin, while we predict a 4.5 pps decline. Our RASK-CASK
spread stands at USDcent 0.12 —– trough at 0.26 and peak at
0.63 over the past five years.
Valuation: We value Turkish Airlines via a 6.8x target EV/
EBITDAR multiple, which is the average of the last five years. Our
valuation suggests a 12-month target price of TL7.25/share,
indicating a 22% upside potential. Based on our forecasts, the
stock trades at a premium vs. its peers’ 2016-17E multiples.
Risks: A greater than expected contraction in the yields, a
deterioration in its cost base, elevated/prolonged security
concerns and stiffer competition are the main risks. The airline’s
share buy-back program could limit the downside for the shares.

2016 Guidance vs. Garanti Securities
THY’s management is targeting to generate USD12.2bn in revenues (GS
estimate:USD11.2bn) by carrying 72.4mn passengers (GS estimate:
67.1mn) and increasing ASK to 186bn (GS estimate:183bn) with a 78%
load factor (GS estimate:74.9%). Management is expecting 18% (GS
estimate:18%) and 19% (GS estimate:19%) increases in fuel consumption
and total staff, respectively. THY plans to open six new routes in 2016 and
reach 290 destinations with 339 aircraft (240 NB + 87 WB + 12 Cargo) in
its fleet by the end of 2016 (vs. 299 in 2015). On the unit revenues side,
THY anticipates a 3% decline in unit revenues (in USD terms). As for
costs, the airline expects a 1.5% decline in non-fuel CASK in USD
terms.We assume 11% and 6% decreases in unit revenues and non-fuel
CASK in USD terms in 2016. Our estimates are conservative compared to
the airline’s. All in all, our projections suggest a 19.5% EBITDAR margin
for 2016 according to THY’s calculation vs. the 20-22% guidance.

Revisions to Forecasts
We have revised our 2016-17E sales and EBITDA estimates down by 7%
and 16% on average, respectively, due to lower than expected revenue
yields, while adjusting our bottom line forecast to take into account our
new macro and non-operational expense assumptions. For 2016-17, we
reduced our earning estimates by c50% on average.
Bloomberg vs. Garanti Forecasts
Our forecasts for both 2016 and 2017 are in line at the top line level, but
c18% lower at the EBITDA level compared to the market consensus.
However, our net income forecast is c45% lower than the market’s most
probably owing to different FX assumptions and the net profit
contributions from THY’s associates. Our target share price stands at
TL7.25 vs. the Bloomberg consensus of TL8.74.

Turkish Airlines 1Q16 Results Review
Weaker profitability: THY reported a net loss of TL1,238mn in 1Q16,
below the consensus estimate of TL942mn and our estimate of a
TL790mn net loss. Revenues were in line with the expectations. However,
its 1Q16 EBITDA was in the red at TL31mn vs. the expectations of a
positive TL269mn. There were a couple of one-off payments during the
quarter: i) a one time net payment made to unionized employees
amounting to USD39mn, ii) USD18mn in maintenance costs relating
to previous terms and iii) one time marketing efforts. Marketing expenses/
sales were realized at 14.5% in 1Q16 vs. 12.1% in 1Q15. The bottom line
was eroded by higher financial expenses driven by cTL700mn in FX
losses given THY's short position in both the EUR and JPY despite the
TL337mn tax income.
Ex-fuel costs were not supportive: In 1Q16, based on the IR
presentation, revenue yields decreased by 12.7% yoy (7.8% excluding the
currency impact), while unit costs (CASK) declined by 8.1% yoy (2.1%
excluding the currency impact) thanks to lower oil prices. The CASK (ex-
fuel) remained flat yoy due to the increase in personnel, sales and
marketing and maintenance. 1Q16 operating profits were dragged down
by the USD243mn in unit revenues (ex-currency) weakness vs. the
positive impact of the favorable fuel prices at USD212mn. All its markets
yielded a negative contribution to revenues. Europe, the CIS and America
were the worst performers with a decline of c20% in their RASKs followed
by c18% in Asia/Far East and the Middle East and 17% in Turkey.
Outlook for 2Q16: THY's capacity growth target is 16% in 2Q16 yoy and
20% in 2H16. Forward booking trends indicate that: i) there will be a weak
demand environment in 2Q16 (especially in European and Asian traffic,
while Africa, the U.S. and Eastern Europe will be relatively stronger and ii)
yield pressures will decline in 2H16. Recall that on April 21, the company
maintained its guidance of a 2.5-4.5pps contraction in its EBITDAR
margin for 2016 based on its calculation.

Challenging period ahead
We are maintaining our Market Perform recommendation for
Pegasus Airlines with a new 12-month forward target price of
TL16.00/share (vs. TL20.92/share before), implying a 17%
upside potential.
Although we continue to like the airline’s growth prospects and
significant cost efficiencies compared to its competitors, we
believe that the cost advantages will not be enough to
compensate for the decline in revenue yields in the near term.
We attribute this to the challenging demand environment,
ongoing competition from THY in its own hub SAW, cost
pressures from starting its own ramp handling services and shift
in fleet mix.
We lowered our revenues and EBITDA forecasts by 4% and
17% on average in 2016-17. The stock trades at a premium vs.
its global peers and its historical multiples.
Growth Constraints: Pegasus Airlines faces strong competition
from THY as THY plans to form a second hub at SAW given the
capacity constraints in its hub at IAA. It seems that the second
runway construction, which will double the capacity, will not be
ready before 2019. Therefore, we expect the continuation of cost
pressures from the congestion at the airport. Furthermore, THY has
the upper hand in acquiring a bilateral agreement, which might limit
international expansion for Pegasus.
Yields are not likely to improve in the near term: Although we
broadly maintained our traffic forecasts for 2016, we cut our
EBITDA margin estimates by 1.3 pps considering the weakness in
revenue yields. On the other hand, ancillary revenues have been
solid with EUR10.1 per pax (vs. EUR9.8 in 2015) and are expected
to reach EUR10-12 vs. our estimate of EUR10 in 2016. We assume
a 13% decline in RASK and a 7% decrease in CASK for 2016. The
Company guides for flat yields and load factor on the domestic side
vs. a downside trend in the load factor and yields due to capacity
increases, competition and geopolitics along with a 2-3% drop in
the CASK.
Valuation: We value Pegasus Airlines with a 6.8x target EV/
EBITDAR multiple similar to THY. Our valuation suggests a 12-
month target price of TL16.00/share, indicating a 17% upside
potential. Based on our forecasts, the multiples look expensive
compared to its peers and historical averages on multiples.
Risks: A greater than expected contraction in yields, a deterioration
in the cost base, elevated/prolonged security concerns, stiffer
competition and a delay in the construction of the second runway
are the main risks.

2016 Guidance vs. Garanti Securities
Revisions to Forecasts
While we have revised our 2016-17E sales estimates slightly downwards
due to the anticipated weaker yields, we cut our EBITDA margin by 0.8%
pps during the same period to factor in pressures on profitability stemming
from the competition.
Bloomberg vs. Garanti Forecasts
Our forecasts for both 2016 and 2017 are more or less in line with the
market consensus in terms of sales, yet are c40% lower in terms of
EBITDA. We believe that most of the market participants have not revised
their forecasts after the worse than expected 1Q16 results. Meanwhile,
our target price of TL16.00 is 8% lower than the Bloomberg consensus of
TL17.36.

Pegasus Airlines 1Q16 Results Review
Weaker operating figures: Pegasus Airlines reported a net loss of
TL190mn in 1Q16, below the consensus estimate of a TL152mn net loss,
but in line with our estimate of a TL200mn net loss. The airline generated
TL691mn in revenues in the quarter, which is in line with the expectations.
However, its 1Q16 EBITDA was lower at -TL118mn vs. our and the
consensus’ forecasts of TL90mn and TL106mn, respectively. Despite
favorable oil prices during the quarter, the greater than expected increase
in personnel, ground handling and landing expenses led to the weaker
than expected operational profitability in the quarter.
Non-fuel cost headwinds: According to our calculations, domestic RASK
(in TL) decreased by 8% YoY in 1Q16 (vs. the 2% increase in 3Q15 and
9% decrease in 4Q15), while international RASK was down by 20% in
EUR terms (vs. the 1% decrease in 3Q15 and the 12% decline in 4Q15).
On the cost front, the CASK decreased by 12% in EUR terms in 1Q16
after the 9% decrease in 3Q15 and 4% decrease in 4Q15. The non-fuel
CASK rose by 1.6% in 1Q16 (vs. the 4% increase in 3Q15 and 14%
increase in 4Q15) as delayed flight costs, the change in the fleet structure
and the impact of self ramp handling start-up costs were the main items to
trigger the increase in the non-fuel CASK. On the other hand, ancillary
revenues per pax decreased by 1% to EUR10.1 and ancillary revenues
accounted for 25% of total revenues in 1Q16 vs. 22% in 1Q15. The
Company recorded TL39mn in net other expenses, which were driven by
FX losses from its operations in the quarter vs. the TL22mn net financial
income (driven by TL11mn from interest income and 18mn from FX

Defensiveness should take center stage
We have changed our recommendation from Market Perform to
Outperform for TAVHL on valuation grounds.
After incorporating our new macroeconomic assumptions and
the 1Q16 results along with lower pax assumptions, we have
revised down our 12-month forward target price to TL19.00/
share (vs. the previous TL20.39), indicating a 38% upside
potential. In the worst case scenario, we find an 22% upside for
the shares.
The stock is trading at 44% and 39% discounts to its five-year
historic average 1- year forward looking P/E and EV/EBITDA
multiples, respectively.
Still a safe choice in the Turkish aviation universe: Since November
24, 2015, TAVHL shares have underperformed the BIST100 by
34% and Turkish carriers (THY and Pegasus) by 10%, respectively.
We think that TAVHL is being heavily punished due to the possible
early termination of Ataturk Airport's operations (expected in 2018),
elevated security concerns/geopolitical risks and the lack of
visibility for TAV Airports to add sizable new projects to its portfolio.
Even if we assume no compensation from the government
regarding the early termination of Ataturk Airport (no FCFs from
2019 and 2020), we find a 22% upside for the shares. We believe
that TAV Airports is likely to outperform as a defensive pick with
solid qualities given: i.) its anticipated margin improvement in 1H16
vs. the contraction for airlines, ii) its position as the main beneficiary
of the anticipated recovery in demand with the high season and
regional diversification, iii) a less unfavorable currency mismatch
and iv) likely more attractive dividend payments.
We are conservative compared to the guidance: TAV targets 7-9%
growth in total pax (4% ytd) and in pax numbers using Istanbul
Ataturk Airport (2% ytd). The Company expects to generate 7-9%
revenue growth (2% in 1Q16) and 7-9% EBITDAR growth (7% in
1Q16), while stressing its expectation of a 10-12% improvement in
net profits (down 50% in 1Q16). Considering the ytd trend, it
appears that the Company might not meet its targets. Our forecasts
suggest c3% growth across the board.
Valuation: We value TAV Airports using a sum-of the parts (SOTP)
analysis based on target Net Asset Value (NAV). Our valuation
suggests a 12-month target price of TL19.00/share, indicating a
38% upside potential. Based on our forecast, the stock trades at
48% and 64% EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples vs. its peers.
Risks: A slowdown in passenger traffic growth, increasing political
tensions in its regions of operation, failure to replace IAA or
overpaying for acquisitions.

VALUATION UPDATE
Sum-of-the-Parts (SOTP) Valuation
We set a new 12-month target price of TL19.00/share (vs. TL20.39/share
previously). We value TAV using a sum-of the parts (SOTP) analysis
based on the target Net Asset Value (NAV). We assumed a 5.0% risk-free
rate, a 5.5% equity risk premium and a 5.5% cost of debt in our WACC
calculation. We employed DCF analysis to value each of the Company’s
operations separately. Our valuation is solely based on DCF as we
believe DCF analysis is the most appropriate means of reflecting TAV’s
long-term growth potential as well as its well designed structure. We only
valued TAV’s existing airport operations, not taking into account any
terminal value and assuming that it would neither win any new tenders,
nor be awarded another term upon the expiry of its current concession
agreements. On the other hand, as the operations of the service
companies will continue after the expiry of the operating rights at the
airports, we have included a terminal value in calculating the value of the
services companies.

Sensitivity analysis for early termination of IAA
Since the newsflow regarding the new airport project in Istanbul led to a
huge underperformance for the shares, we conducted a scenario analysis
to see the potential impact of the early termination of IAA. IAA accounts
for 50% of our TAVHL valuation. 49% and 60% of TAVHL’s revenues and
EBITDA were from IAA in 2015. TAVHL has the right to operate IAA until
the end of 2020. However, once the new airport in Istanbul becomes
operational, IAA will be closed and TAVHL will be compensated for the
potential loss of the remaining period. The new airport in Istanbul is
estimated to become operational in 2018.
Worst case: IAA will be closed in 2018 and there will be no
compensation for 2019 and 2020.
Base case: IAA will be closed in 2018 and there will be partial
compensation for 2019 and 2020 based on our FCF estimates.
Bull Case: TAVHL will operate IAA until the end of 2020.
Revisions to Forecasts
We have revised down our 2016-17E estimates on average across the
board to take into account our new macro and non-operational expense
assumptions.

Garanti Securities vs. 2016 Guidance
After achieving its 2015 targets except for the bottom line due to currency
movements, TAV has provided guidance for 2016E as shown below. Gar-
anti Securities’ forecasts are provided alongside the Company’s own pro-
jections for the sake of comparison. We are conservative compared to the
Company’s guidance. TAV targets 7-9% growth in total pax (4% ytd) and
in pax numbers using Istanbul Ataturk Airport (2% ytd). The Company
expects to generate 7-9% revenue growth (2% in 1Q16) and 7-9%
EBITDAR growth (7% in 1Q16), while stating its expectation of a 10-12%
improvement in net profit (down 50% in 1Q16).
Bloomberg vs. Garanti Forecasts
Our forecasts for 2016 are in line with the market’s, while our forecasts
are slightly higher for 2017. Meanwhile, our target price of TL19.00 is 11%
lower than the Bloomberg consensus of TL21.35.

Lack of visibility for the addition of new airport projects
CEO Sani Sener was quoted as saying that TAV Airports plans to bid for
new tenders within 12-24 months in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and
India. He added that 50 new airports are expected to be privatized in India
and that TAV Airports is interested in airports that handle more than 1mn
passengers in Africa.
Recall that the consortium, including TAV Airports, received the pre-
qualification to bid for “The Regional Airports' Tender” in the Philippines in
September 2015. This tender consists of the operations and maintenance
of the Bacolod-Silay, Iloilo, Davao, Laguindingan and New Bohol-Panglao
(Tagbilaran) airports which had served around 9mn passengers in 2014.
According to local daily Hurriyet, Malaysia Airports plans a stake sale at
SAW. Malaysia Airports owns a 100% stake in SAW. Recall that in 2014,
TAVHL offered EUR285mn for 40% of SAW which had been held by
Indian GMR. However, Malaysia Airports exercised its first right of refusal
at that time. If the news is true, we believe that TAVHL would be one of
the ambitious bidders.
The company has always been in search of new opporunities. Therefore,
until the company finalizes an acquisition, we view such news as
valuation neutral.
IAA, Extension Project to be completed by July 2016.
TAVHL signed a contract with the State Airports Authority (DHMI) for the
expansion of IAA International Terminal in November 2014. In line with
the contract, 32 additional check-in desks will be built in addition to the
existing 224 desks and the capacity of the baggage handling system will
be improved and the mezzanine floor on the land side will be moved to
the air side, increasing the passenger area on the air side. In addition to
the expansion of the international terminal, the existing cargo terminal will
be demolished and replaced with a 27,000 sqm passenger terminal and
four additional passenger bridges will be added to the 26 existing
passenger bridges. These bridges will have the optional of providing
apron space for eight single-aisle aircraft or four twin-aisle aircraft.
Henceforth, the total number of bridges at the International Terminal will
increase from 26 to 34. Furthermore, 17,000 sqm of additional open car
parking space will be built.
The estimated sum of the new investment is around EUR92mn and the
estimated completion date is July 2016. TAVHL is using its own funds for
the project.
This extension project aims to increase terminal capacity, maximize
service comfort for passengers using IAA, improve the flow of increased
traffic and maximize resource efficiency. The project is likely to increase
the current capacity by a further 10mn to 80mn passengers vs. 61mn in
2015.

TAV Airports 1Q16 Results Review A EUR7mn one-off hurt the bottom line: TAV Airports announced
EUR15mn in net income in 1Q16 vs. the consensus' EUR19mn and our
EUR24mn estimates. Revenues and EBITDA were in line with expectati-
ons, yet the bottom line was lower due to the EUR7mn one-off expense in
relation to the TAV Macedonia refinancing.
Operating leverage in place: TAV Airports posted a EUR82mn EBITDA
in the quarter, implying a 35.3% EBITDA margin (up 0.7 pps) yoy, which
was 80bps higher than the expectations. We observed operational levera-
ge in this quarter with 2% annual growth at the top line and a 4% EBITDA.
Likewise, TAV Airports' 1Q16 EBITDAR increased by 7% yoy, implying a
50.8% margin (up 230bps yoy). Revenue growth was mainly driven by the
growth in transfer passengers.The TRY depreciation against the EUR had
an average 17% impact on the company's TRY-linked revenue items. In
1Q16, the total number of passengers served at all airports increased by
6% yoy, the same level as in Istanbul Ataturk Airport alone. The 7% ATM
growth could not be reflected to passengers due to lower load factors and
the weakness in Origin to Destination (O&D) compensated by transfer
passengers (Istanbul int'l-to-int'l transfer share in international passengers
was 48% vs. 41% in 1Q15).

Still more ground to cover
Strong cash generation and already low/diminishing leverage
should offer further opportunities along with the PE ownership.
3Q16 will be the first period to see the impact of the post-
Pegasus era at SAW, the potential loss (c5% of revenues) is
likely to be offset by strong figures in India (total number of
handled aircraft up by 80% in 1Q16 after 58% in 2015). India’s
contribution to EBITDA was 26% in 1Q16 vs. 19% in 1Q15.
Defensive business structure and attractive dividend yields.
Strong cash generation: Given its diminishing leverage ratios and
high ROE generation capabilities, we believe that Celebi will continue
to remain on investors’ radar screens in 2016. We expect the
Company to post an average c50% ROE over the next three years
and its net debt/EBITDA ratio to decline from 2.9x in end-2013 to 1.2x
in end-2018. Assuming a 90% pay-out ratio, we anticipate an 11%
dividend yield from 2016E earnings.
Defensive business structure: The bulk of Celebi’s revenues are in
FX (79%), while 59% of its costs are also in FX. Its hard currency
revenues allow Celebi to display defensive characteristics in a volatile
market. The company’s largest cost item is its personnel,
corresponding to 37% of total costs. Therefore, operating in low
personnel cost markets (Turkey and India) is another plus for the
company. By the nature of the business, Celebi stands out as a safe
choice in the sector without the risk of volatility in oil prices. It is also a
beneficiary of competition among airlines given the increased traffic
movements (ATM).
Concerns regarding the minimum wage increase have proved
pointless: Since it is a labor intensive business, there were some
concerns regarding the 30% increase in the minimum wage in the
beginning of the year. However in 1Q16, we observed that costs per
personnel remained flat yoy.
The loss of Pegasus Airlines at Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) in June
2016 might be exaggerated: We admit that idle time management is
the key in the ground handling industry, but since Pegasus Airlines is
a low cost carrier, the real impact on Celebi’s operations would be
more limited than initially thought.
Catalysts: Stronger than expected 2Q16 results, a value accretive
acquisition, higher than anticipated ATM and a potential regulation
change prohibiting self-handling in India.
Valuation & Risks: Based on a DCF analysis, our 12-month target
share price of TL34.20 (vs. the previous TL38.00) indicates a 49%
upside potential. We are maintaining our Outperform
recommendation. The stock is trading at 26% and 17% discounts to
its five-year historic average 12-month forward looking P/E and EV/
EBITDA multiples, respectively. It is now c35% below to the amount
paid by Actera in 2013 for the acquisition of a 39.12% stake. Risks
include the loss of another major airline contract, a crisis in the airline
sector, higher than expected margin pressure from the loss of
Pegasus, changes in laws regarding operation in the sector, an overly
expensive acquisition and an imminent share overhang from private
equity ownership.

The Company in Brief

Lack of new catalysts
Contrary to the double-digit growth in previous years, the
company guided for single-digit growth this year despite
the contribution from the catering of the UEFA 2016
Football Championship. Margins are expected to remain
stable. The guidance does not include any inorganic
growth.
Eyes are on a new hub partnership with a client or a M&A,
yet recent new flows/deals in the sector are not supportive
and indicate challenges in acquisitions. A major contract
could potentially be added in Asia according to the
management.
Until corporate actions favoring the company materialize,
its high multiples are not justified, in our view. We are
downgrading the stock to Market Perform from Outperform
with a new 12-month target share price TL350.00
(EUR100) vs. TL371.34 (EUR107), offering a 24% upside
potential.
Recent deals in the sector: China-based HNA Group made a
CHF53/share offer for Gategroup. The offer price values
Gategroup at an equity value of around CHF1.4bn. Based on
forecasts compiled by Bloomberg for Gategroup, the transaction
suggests a 19x P/E and 9x EV/EBITDA multiple vs. DOCO’s 28x
and 9x, respectively. According to the media, DO&CO was one of
three firms interested in purchasing a controlling stake in Servair,
the catering unit of Air France-KLM. However, it seems DOCO is
no longer in the running. According to recent newsflow, Air
France is in talks with HNA for the sale of 49.99% of Servair and
the transfer of operational control for EUR475m. Servair had
revenues of EUR745mn in 2015.
Revisions to forecasts: We have adjusted our forecasts
considering the guidance and our new passenger figures.
Accordingly, we reduced our net income forecasts by 10% for
2016 and 2017.
Catalysts: A new partnership with a major airline or an M&A and
a pick-up in passenger demand with the normalization in regional
risks pressuring air demand would be seen as catalysts.
Valuation & Risks: We are employing a DCF analysis as our
preferred valuation methodology for DO & CO to better reflect the
Company’s growth prospects. We are downgrading the stock to
Market Perform from Outperform. Our 12-month target price of
TL350.00/share (EUR100.0) vs. TL371.34 (EUR107.00) indicates
a 25% upside potential. DO & CO trades at a premium to its
peers based on its adjusted 2016/17E EV/EBITDA and P/E while
offering stronger growth. The loss of any of the major airline
contracts, especially Turkish Airlines (to be renewed in 2016), a
crisis in the airline sector, a delay in the opening of Istanbul Hotel,
longer than expected margin pressure from newly invested
operations, an overpaid acquisition and a potentially high capex
requirement for Istanbul’s new airport pose risks.

DO&CO 1Q16 Results Review
DO & CO posted EUR4mn in net earnings in 4Q15/16, down by 31% yoy.
According to Bloomberg’s full year consensus figures, the bottom line fo-
recast stood at cEUR3mn, higher than the actual figure in the quarter with
slightly higher revenues. As such, FY2015/16 net profits fell to EUR28mn,
down by 19% due to the EUR11mn one-off income on the fair value as-
sessment of the total return equity swap in 1H14/15. If this were to be
excluded, net income would have been up by 19% yoy.

APPENDIX — BREXIT’s impact the region’s aviation
There will be a referendum on June 23 to vote UK to leave EU or not. Opinion polls are notoriously
volatile and unreliable predictors. UK accounts for less than 3-4% of THY and Pegasus Airlines’
revenues and capacity
*Below part is taken from CAPA
Brexit up in the air: implications for aviation if the UK votes to leave the European Union
The EU has a liberalised aviation market
The biggest source of benefits to UK aviation from EU membership is in the area of traffic rights and
the nationality of airlines. Any airline owned and controlled by nationals of EU member states is free
to operate anywhere within the EU without restrictions on capacity, frequency or pricing.
The creation of the liberalised internal aviation market was one of the most important catalysts
behind the rapid development of LCCs in Europe in the 1990s. Today, the extensive pan-European
networks of Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling, Norwegian and others are built upon this free access.
Of course, Norway is not part of the European Union, but Norwegian Air Shuttle has equal access to
the internal European market for air transport, thanks to the European Common Aviation Area
(ECAA).
ECAA could offer a route for UK airlines to access the single aviation market, post-Brexit
The ECAA extends the liberalised aviation market beyond the EU member states to include
Norway, Iceland, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo. The ECAA covers 36 countries and 500 million
people. Norway and Iceland (and Liechtenstein) are also part of the European Economic Area, which
extends the EU's wider single market to these non-EU countries.
If the UK were to leave the EU, its airlines would no longer enjoy automatic access to this market,
although the UK might be expected to negotiate continued access. The most obvious way for the UK
to do this would be to participate in the ECAA Agreement in the same way as countries such as
Norway currently do.
ECAA requires acceptance of EU aviation laws and "close economic cooperation" with the EU
The Agreement provides for expansion of the ECAA to include other countries that are happy with
two broad conditions. Firstly, they must be prepared to accept EU aviation laws and, secondly, they
must establish a "framework of close economic cooperation, such as an Association Agreement" with
the EU.
It may seem reasonable to assume that the UK would be prepared to continue to accept EU aviation
laws, since it does currently. A similar logic would also suggest that the UK would establish continued
close economic cooperation with the EU.
However, neither of these assumptions can be absolutely cast iron. Would a UK that has just decided
to leave the European Union necessarily be happy to sign up immediately to a return to many of the
EU's provisions?

The UK might not be guaranteed ECAA membership
In addition, while the ECAA Agreement seems to allow countries that are not EU member states to
become part of the single aviation market, provided that they accept the two conditions noted above,
it is not totally clear that this is automatically guaranteed.
The ECAA Agreement is a multilateral agreement between the EU, its individual member states and
the additional states that form part of the single aviation market. It may, at least in theory, be possible
for any one of the signatory nations to object to modification of the agreement that is proposed to
allow the UK's continued participation after leaving the EU.
It was one thing to extend the ECAA to a number of relatively small countries that provide additional
market opportunities for EU airlines, but whose own airlines pose little competitive threat. (Norwegian
is an exception but its growth has surprised some, and Norway had to be allowed in for the sake of
the tri-national airline SAS.)
It would be a different thing to guarantee continued pan-European access to low cost UK airlines
such as easyJet, which have caused significant competitive damage to European legacy airlines.
Although Europe's largest LCC Ryanair, as an Irish airline, would continue to have access to the
European market, the UK's ejection could cause Ryanair difficulties operating in what is its largest
country market. Little wonder that Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary is backing the UK's continued EU
membership.
The UK's future exclusion from the ECAA may currently seem far-fetched, but there is precedent for
powerful voices in European aviation to attempt to use the bilateral air services framework to raise
protectionist barriers to competition (witness the debate over the Gulf airlines).
It certainly seems fair to say that the UK's status with respect to the single aviation market, in the
event that it were to leave the EU, is at least to some extent uncertain. The ECAA Agreement
contains no explicit clauses clarifying what would happen to a member state that ceased to be part of
the EU.
The UK would still have to comply with a wide range of EU rules
The areas of EU aviation law and regulation that the UK would likely need to submit to, as part of the
ECAA, are extensive. They include market access, safety, security, air traffic management,
the environment, social (labour) issues, consumer rights and the economic regulation of airports.
The EU's new Aviation Strategy proposes changes in many of these areas, but only EU member
states have a say on such developments. Non-EU participants in the ECAA have to take it or leave it.
See related report: New EU Aviation Strategy avoids key issues as Asia Pacific and Middle East
claim the future
In addition, broader EU rules in areas such as state aid and competition, so not just limited to
aviation, would still apply to the UK.
Of course, the UK currently operates according to EU rules in these areas, and might not be
expected to object to continuing to do so. However, with the passage of time, it is not inconceivable
that the UK might decide that developments in one or more of these areas were not in its self-
interest.

For example, UK airlines (and those of other EU states) have been vocal in lobbying on issues such
as passenger rights and environmental measures, such as emissions trading, but they, and the UK
government, have been able to influence the debate within an EU membership framework. If a future
non-EU UK wanted to remain part of the ECAA, it would still be bound by EU rules, but would no
longer have a voice in shaping them.
The UK, upon leaving the EU, would then have to establish close economic cooperation Then there is the question of whether or not a post-EU version of the UK would seek to establish a "framework of close economic cooperation" with the EU? This question is fundamental, not only to its continued participation in the internal European aviation market, but also to its broader participation in the single market more widely.
This question has been aired in the UK, and the default assumption is that the UK would indeed prefer to retain access to the single market, but it is also the subject of some uncertainty. The UK referendum will not ask its citizens to decide on this question; it will ask merely whether to remain in the EU or not. (The exact wording will be, ‘Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?’).
If the majority vote is in favour of leaving the EU, everything else is then up for grabs. So-called "Association Agreements" with the EU, which have to be ratified by each member state, typically offer non-EU countries tariff-free access to some or all EU markets (and financial or technical assistance), and often include a free trade agreement. In exchange, they generally require commitments to political, economic, trade, or human rights reform in a country.
In the past, such agreements have either been a staging post on the way to full EU membership, or a means for a non-EU country to have some of the benefits of the EU without committing to joining up in full. There is no precedent for a former member state entering into such an agreement.
However, it seems unavoidable that the UK would still need to be bound by a range of EU rules and regulations if it wanted to continue to enjoy any access to EU markets. Its membership of the ECAA would be conditional upon this.
Again, the question arises in connection with a UK that leaves Europe: how much Europe would this
UK still want? Moreover, the mirror to this question also arises: how much of the single market would
Europe still want to offer the UK?
The Switzerland model: a bilateral agreement with the EU Another way for the UK to ensure that its airlines continue to have access to the EU's single aviation market would be to negotiate a new UK-EU agreement on a bilateral basis.
There is a precedent for this in the agreement on air transport between Switzerland and the EU as a
whole, which was signed in 1999 and came into force in 2002. Domestic rights were originally
excluded, but negotiations on this topic began in 2011. A free trade agreement between Switzerland
and the EU was signed in 1972, and came into force in 1973.

But the Swiss bilateral ties it to other EU rules and principles, putting its aviation agreement at risk The Swiss air transport agreement with the EU provides mutual market access for airlines of both parties and effectively binds Switzerland to much of the EU's aviation legislation. It was negotiated as a package in tandem with a series of other bilateral agreements, which all stand together.
If any one of seven bilateral EU-Switzerland agreements is terminated, including the one on air transport, then they are all terminated.
The provisions in these agreements included binding Switzerland to the four freedoms that form the foundations for the EU's single market. These are the freedom of goods, services, capital and labour. Following a 2014 referendum on the restriction of immigration, Switzerland risks breaching its agreement with the EU on the freedom of movement of persons. If this agreement is breached, it will effectively also terminate the air transport agreement.
The Swiss government is in the process of redrafting its immigration policy, in negotiation with the EU. Until this is complete, there remains some uncertainty hanging over the air transport agreement.
Whatever the final outcome, the Swiss example illustrates that it is possible to negotiate access to
the single aviation market on a bilateral basis, but that the EU is also likely to demand at least some
level of conformity with its four freedoms. Indeed, whichever mechanism is used by a non-EU country
to access the single aviation market - via the ECAA or a bilateral agreement - there are likely to be
significant conditions requiring the country to adopt many of the EU's rules and legislation.
UK could attempt individual bilaterals with each country, but this would be complicated Rather than attempt a Swiss-style accord with the EU as a whole, the UK could possibly seek to negotiate, on a bilateral basis, new air services agreements with each individual member of the ECAA and Switzerland, or a chosen subset of them.
It seems very likely that it could agree unlimited open skies style access for its own airlines and those of the other countries on routesbetween the UK and each of these countries, for example between the UK and France or Italy.
However, in order to replicate fully the access to the single aviation market that its airlines currently enjoy, the UK would also need to negotiate with each country a web of fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth freedom rights. For example, these rights would be necessary to allow a UK airline to operate from the UK to Italy and then to continue from Italy to France, to operate between Italy and France without starting in the UK and to operate domestic routes in Italy.
This "multi bilateral" approach could potentially avoid the need for the UK to take on large chunks of
EU rules, but it would also be far more complicated than dealing with the EU as a whole. Moreover,
individual EU countries may not be willing to play along, given that they presumably would still hold
the EU's principles dear, and that the UK would have just rejected many of those principles.
Beyond Europe, UK would need to replace EU-US traffic rights… Beyond the internal European aviation market, a country's EU membership brings the benefits to its airlines afforded by air services agreements that are negotiated with third party countries at an EU level on behalf of all member states.
The most important of these is the so-called EU-US open skies agreement, which allows the airlines of both parties to the agreement to fly from anywhere in the EU to anywhere in the US and vice versa (although it does not allow access to domestic markets).

The agreement was effectively a pre-condition for the US to give antitrust immunity to the profit
sharing joint ventures between EU and US airlines that lie at the heart of the three branded global
alliances.
…by negotiating continued access to the EU-US open skies agreement The UK, if it leaves the EU, will have to negotiate a means for its airlines to retain liberalised access to the trans-Atlantic market. Non-EU members Norway and Iceland are also parties to the EU-US agreement and it may be assumed that the UK could negotiate to enjoy a similar status to theirs.
…or through a new UK-US bilateral (with the EU's involvement) Alternatively, it could seek to negotiate a new UK-US open skies-style bilateral, but this would not in itself give UK airlines the freedom to fly from, say, Paris to New York. It could also, for example, call into question Norwegian's rights to fly from the UK to destinations in the US in competition with UK airlines.
If it wanted to re-create synthetically the traffic rights environment of the EU-US agreement, after coming to a new UK-US bilateral, the UK would also need to negotiate with the EU and US to allow non-UK airlines to fly UK-US routes, and to allow UK airlines to fly EU-US routes.
Opportunities could arise for anti-competitive forces British Airways and its parent IAG are currently firm advocates of competition and market liberalisation, but future scenarios could arise where UK airlines may lobby for a more restrictive stance on UK-US competition from non-UK airlines. Under such scenarios, the UK could feasibly look to retreat from a liberal trans-Atlantic traffic rights regime that continues to mimic the existing EU-US open skies agreement.
Again, although it may now seem that the most likely scenario is that the UK will renegotiate the same US traffic rights for UK (and EU) airlines as currently apply, there is at least some degree of uncertainty over the situation. The implications for the North Atlantic immunised joint ventures are unclear.
Moreover, the fragmentation of the existing EU-US open skies regime would provide more
opportunities for anti-competitive forces to enlist the bilateral regime to raise protectionist barriers in
the future.
UK would also have to replace other EU-level bilateral… In addition to the EU-US agreement, air services agreements exist at the EU level with a number of other countries, including Canada,Morocco, the Western Balkan countries, Jordan, Georgia, Moldova, Israel and Brazil (the latter is yet to be implemented), and negotiations are ongoing with Australia and New Zealand.
In Dec-2015, the EU launched an initiative to negotiate EU-level aviation agreements with a number of other countries, including Turkey,China, Mexico, Armenia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States and, in what would be the first such agreement between two blocs of countries, the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) States.
If it left the EU, the UK would also need to negotiate new air services agreements on a bilateral basis
to replace all these EU-level deals.

…and decide whether to replace EU nationality clauses in UK bilaterals
In addition to these EU-level agreements, there is still a large number of bilateral agreements
between the UK and other, non-EU, countries (the same is true for all EU countries). In order to bring them into line with EU law, most of the agreements have been amended to replace references
to UK ownership of airlines with references to EU ownership.
This means that the UK's bilateral no longer discriminate against other EU airlines in terms of their
rights to operate from the UK to the non-EU country. If it decides to leave the EU, the UK will then have to decide whether or not to retain these revised nationality clauses, which allow other EU
airlines to compete with UK operators on international routes from the UK.
UK may not be able to pick and choose which parts of EU legislation to retain
In general, those who oppose the UK's continued membership of the EU, but who are in favour of
continued access to the single market, object mostly to the freedom of labour. In particular, they are
concerned about unlimited immigration into the UK from the newer EU member states, mainly in Central and Eastern Europe.
There are those who suggest that a post-EU UK would negotiate with Western European countries to
continue to allow the free movement of people. However, it may not be so easy to pick and choose
which parts of EU legislation the UK wants to retain, and in which territories, if it wants to retain access to the entire single aviation market.
Maintaining existing traffic rights may be the most likely post-Brexit outcome…
In summary, if the UK decides to leave the EU, the most likely outcome for aviation is that the UK will negotiate with the EU and other partners to maintain the status quo with regard to airline traffic
rights, as far as possible.
However, this would likely require the UK to continue to accept a large proportion of EU rules and
legislation, not only on aviation, but also on broader issues including its four fundamental freedoms.
Moreover, the UK would no longer have the same influence over these rules that its current status as an EU member state gives it. As Borge Brende, Norway’s foreign minister, has observed, “Our
arrangement . . . is that we have to implement all the EU directives. We are not around the table
when these are discussed in Brussels.”
…but there are important uncertainties and risks for airlines
If it wanted to be more selective about which rules to follow and which to reject, the consequences
are unclear, but the situation could start to unravel, and this could threaten the UK's inclusion in EU markets, including the single aviation market.
This is a potential threat not only to UK airlines, but also to airlines from other EU states for whom
the UK is an important market. Either way, the UK government will need to start planning for the
exit the minute the referendum is concluded, if the outcome is a vote to leave the EU.
