The Nigerian stock market declined further as most stocks closed lower. Sector indices were mixed, with banking and insurance stocks declining due to losses in UBA and other financials. Market turnover fell 24.9% as trading concentrated in a few stocks. SABMiller reported strong growth in Nigeria, with revenue up 33% year-over-year, driven by 27% volume growth. However, growth may slow to 3-4% this year as lower oil prices impact consumption. The government may raise VAT from 5% to 10% and cancel projects if oil prices continue falling.

Market Review
The Nigerian capital market continued the downtrend
unabatedly as investors maintained supply postures driven by
profit taking tendencies. Except for NSE BNK and NSE CNSM
that lost points on the backdrop of UBA(-4.94%), GTB(-1.81%),
Int.Brew(-4.98%) and Guinness(-2.29%), most sectoral indices
closed in the green but were unable to lift the ASI into positive
territory.
Current year-to-date index figure stands at 13.07%. Three out of
every four stocks that changed price in the broad market closed
down, while 58 issues remained unchanged. The key stocks on
the gainers’ chart are Mansard(N3.15), Portpaint(N3.88),
Flourmill(N36.99) and CustodyIns(N3.85) while Presco(N28.22),
Int.Brew(N20.8) and UBA(N3.66) made the top key losers. Market
turnover was N2.471bn, a 24.9% decline from previous trading
figure, as trades were concentrated in GTB, UACN, NB and
FBNH.
A cautious trading approach is advised as the market succumbs
to strong profit taking activities.

Top Highlight
SABMiller- Nigeria growth remains strong
SABMiller (N/R) released its Q3 2015 trading update yesterday. Note: March year-end. While group Net Producer Revenues (NPR) increased by
4.0% year-on-year (y/y), lager volumes were down 1.0% y/y. In Nigeria, SABMiller’s operations continue to record impressive volume and revenue
growth as NPR increased by 33.0% y/y in Q3. Sales growth was driven by strong volumes which increased by 27.0% y/y. SABMiller’s holdings in
Nigeria includes the listed International Breweries (Hold, target price: N24.5, current price: N21.9), and the unlisted Intafact Beverages (N/R),
Pabod Breweries (N/R), and Voltic Nigeria (N/R). The company attributes the strong performance in Nigeria to its market execution and
incremental capacity.
We believe the company’s additional capacity of 1.4 million hectolitres per annum in 2014 at its Intafact Beverages brewery in Onitsha, helped it
meet incremental demand and increase market share in the South East. While growth remains impressive, in our view, it appears sales growth
slowed slightly during Q3 as the company was able to achieve NPR growth of 41.0% y/y in H1 2015 in Nigeria.
SABMiller’s strategy in Nigeria – to offer relatively low priced brands such Hero lager in the South East markets and Trophy in the South West –
continues to deliver positive results. Hero and Trophy lager brands retail for c.25.0% off the price of Nigerian Breweries’ popular Star lager. We
believe larger brewers such as Nigerian Breweries (Sell, target price: N121.1, current price: N145.0) and Guinness Nigeria (Sell, target price:
N111.1, current price: N130.0) could struggle to contain SABMiller’s rise in South East Nigeria in coming quarters due to the lack of a popular
value brand within the product portfolios of both brewers. However the merger of Nigerian Breweries and Consolidated Breweries could create a
larger entity with the production capacity in the South West, wider product portfolio and notable value brands to compete with International
Breweries in its core markets of Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti states.

Beer drinkers in Nigeria cut back as oil industry falters: SABMiller Plc (SAB) expects beer volume growth to decelerate in Nigeria this year as
lower oil prices dent consumption and African markets become more competitive. Bloomberg quoted the Managing Director of the company's Africa
unit, Mark Bowman to have said this in Davos. The company, which had predicted beer volume growth in Nigeria of about eight percent a year,
may see that rate slow to three or four percent, Bowman said. Source: thisdaylive.com
Nigeria may double VAT due to falling oil prices: The federal government plans to double its value-added tax (VAT) and cancel government
projects if oil prices continue to slide. Coordinating Minister for the Economy/Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said this in an
interview with The Wall Street Journal. According to Okonjo-Iweala, the country is reviewing some 6,000 ongoing projects to see which will be
kept, delayed, or scrapped. If oil prices continue to sink, it will also raise its value-added tax, from five percent to 10 percent she said.
