PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE
AUGUST, 2016
We initiate coverage on Porto with a fair value of EGP 0.47/share, we valued Porto Group using
SoTP valuation, utilizing an average Cost of Equity of 21.3%; resulting in74.5% upside over current
trading level.
Porto Group is legally a newly formed entity; the company currently carries operations for 12
projects; 9 of which are domestically deployed, while 3 others are located regionally in Jordan,
Syria and Morocco. Back in the days, Porto was just an entertainment concept aiming to gather up
families in Porto destinations that were fully equipped with all possible amenities, shopping malls,
and golf, fountains or lagoons views. However, the concept got bigger and became widely
recognized and mature to the extent the company`s management decided to spin it off in an
attempt to make its value more apparent.
A spin-off resulted in a solely focused real estate developer “Porto Group”, with a business model
skewed towards co-development agreements to skillfully maneuver the inflationary environment
and competition over scarce premium spots in satellite cities and secondary home premium spots
“North Coast”. Such Co-development agreements help speeding up projects set up and
construction, benefiting from the absence of land costs.
The group`s unified rainbow theme design implemented across all the company`s projects`
portfolio helps saving up bulk design costs incurred by peers. Porto also subcontracts the building
and construction process to multiple sub-contractors of medium size which also helps speeding up
projects` implementation. The group also indicates that development takes place across multiple
projects simultaneously according to the managements` analysis of cost-benefit outcome to
match the selling and marketing activities.
We believe the Real Estate sector is currently suffering from an implicit stress not yet severe
enough to shape a trauma but definitely sets a probable downside risk that might be on its way to
grow until explosion. There is currently an estimated total of 3mn real demanded housing units
surpassing the highly priced offering available, mostly from the middle-to-low income brackets.
However, yet from all income classes we see the population putting in more efforts to satisfy their
residential needs before its way too expensive to do so, whether such residential need is for
immediate use and satisfaction or as an inventory for promising use. Such beliefs are driving
prices even higher, which mandates us to warn about a red flag we see; payment defaults might
be on its way up already; but still covered by new purchases, which led developers to extend their
payment schemes offered up to 10 years in some cases. In addition to that the recent devaluation
rounds have led too much to preserve money in real estate, a matter that might even grow more
in times the greenback become too scarce to find. Such risk would definitely impact investors’
resale values due to the average citizen being under severe attack from inflation. In brief,
dynamics` correction might be fierce, in case pricing upward jumps continues.
However, we see Porto Group perfectly benefiting from the current real estate dynamics, being a
middle income housing provider with eyes on the high end, through its gated premium quality
recent developments in West and East Cairo. The group is also on its way to build a portfolio of
recurring revenue streams properties which we value most on a NAV basis as the developments
will add heavily to the company`s health while we are not yet fully sure of such developments
treatment whether they will be sold to third parties or become operated by Amer Group.
Porto Group enjoys an unlevered status, with minimal over draft amounts apparently raised and
closed before quarters` ends, to cover up any probable short fall in cash balances and/or
advances, due to the accelerated execution that take place by the company. Such aspect remains
a key to valuation upgrade, as it would alter the massive cost of capital downward, once Porto
decides on shifting its capital structure.

PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE
AUGUST, 2016
SOURCE: PRIME
Porto Group has a rich pipeline of launches expected. The company said it plans launching Porto
Heliopolis and Porto Saeed, two major catalysts to the company`s stock before year end; following
Porto Pyramids launch in 1Q2016. However, we currently account for Porto Heliopolis launch to
take place in 2016, and believe that Porto Saeed launch will not take place before 2017. We
considered Porto Heliopolis in our valuation being closer to materialize in our opinion, while Porto
Saeed would be added once the company announces further details concerning the master plan,
pricing and final launch date as the project is one of the few huge projects the company owns, in
addition to that some aspects of the project are still under licensing.
Valuation
From the rich portfolio we see owned by Porto group, we found Porto October to be the largest contributor to the
company`s valuation adding 27.7% of total value. We valued the residential and commercial portion of each project
using a Discounted Cash Flows methodology, while valuing the land areas dedicated to schools, hospitals, garages,
clubs and/or hotels on Net Asset Value basis post contributing the third party share. Although such NAVs are at the
more or less relative and/or subjective, we maintained our conservatism to the extent in setting values, in order not
to be over optimistic while not neglecting a massive portion of land area unaccounted for. We assumed 2017/2018 to
be the range within which the company to decide on such properties destination, whether they will be retained and
operated by Amer Group or sold to third parties.
We valued Porto Group using SoTP; the largest contributor to our valuation was the residential and commercial
portion of all projects, summing EGP 0.329/share equivalent to approximately 70.1% of our value, while NAV added
EGP 0.07/share equivalent to 13.8%. Hence, SoTP yielded a total of EFP 1,801.8mn equivalent to EGP 0.395/share.
Although Porto Group still carries a debt free balance sheet, the adverse impact of discounting cash flow as the cost
of equity was partially smoothed through adding a net cash balance to the stock`s value; adding approximately EGP
0.08/share.
We did not add Porto Saeed to the valued projects, as we chose to wait for the announcement of a specific launch
date, or a closer guidance to the anticipated pricing levels and planned construction and infrastructure costs.
However, we valued the project on a DCF basis fully utilizing our assumptions, which would definitely add at least 6-
7% to the company`s valuation. Porto Saeed will become the stock`s upcoming catalyst along with Heliopolis launch.

Upside Risks
1) Faster than accounted for selling duration, as we extended most projects` sales duration more than
planned; due to our beliefs is currently suffering from a stressed status.
2) More co-development agreements to follow after the current portfolio`s successful execution.
3) Inflation easing, macro status improvement reflected in disposable income and purchasing power
enhancement would definitely be reflected positively on Porto Group being the ultimate gated
community targeted by most middle-income youth.
4) Adding Porto Saeed NPV to the stock`s total value once the master plan, pricing and final launch date are
announced, would add at least 6-7% per our preliminary figures.
5) Any progress from the morocco government concerning the legal procedures and land allocation for
Porto Agadir would act as strong upside to the stock as the project is not accounted for in our valuation.
6) Considering debt financing would add up to the company`s valuation, in case new sales fall short.
Downside Risks
1) In our view, any further EGP devaluation, would adversely impact real estate sales` proceeds from now
on, as the pricing level is seen steep upward sloping with un matching income levels able to support the
current inflationary environment.
2) Porto Group`s plans for targeting more high-end income related citizens on the cost of losing the middle
income client base, might be fatal, due to the high end concentrated market and the middle income
affordability obstacles.
3) A Stagnant status to hit the real estate market, on the back of hyper increase in selling prices.
4) Absence of rapid solutions for Egypt`s current economic conditions would adversely affect demand for
the real estate sector.
5) Further building materials costs increase beyond our estimations, would negatively affect Porto Group`s
margins.

The Spin-off Story
Back in November 2014, Egypt’s real estate firm Amer Group announced the extraordinary general meeting’s
approval of splitting the company into two separate companies; Amer Holding (demerging company) and Porto
Holding (demerged company).
The spin off rationale was about the Porto concept getting mature without a matching recognition as expected by the
management, as the management believed that through splitting the 2 entities the value implied in Porto projects
would become more transparent and clear. While Amer Group pre-split carried revenue streams of property
management would then become priced and reflected in the stock`s performance. Hence, the spin off took place to
show both companies real intrinsic value.
The two companies joined EGX database on 21 October, and commenced trading on 22 October 2015. The split took
place based on the book value as per 9M2015 Financials, hence splitting assets and liabilities at the carrying value at
the split date. Amer board decided the split to take place on a 2:1 ratio, cutting down Amer Group par value to EGP
0.2/share to create Porto Group`s EGP 0.1/share worth par value. The capital cut took Amer paid in capital to EGP
911.9mn down from EGP 1,367.9mn, and hence creating Porto Group`s current capital of EGP 455.9mn. Amer group
commenced trading at EGP 0.58/share, while Porto group commenced at EGP 0.29/share.
Porto Group became Egypt`s middle income-targeting real estate developer carrying projects locally in primary and
secondary residential markets, while taking its successful secondary home concept regionally; through flying to
Jordan, Morocco and Syria. Amer Group turned into specializing in hospitality, restaurants, and commercial centers
operations in addition to property management.
Porto Group in Focus
Porto Group took over the responsibility of real estate development post the split; the company currently has an
impressive portfolio of launched and under-designing/licensing projects. Located in Egypt`s most exclusive locations
beside some of the region`s attractive spots in Jordon, Morocco and Syria.
The current projects portfolio indicates a business model skewed towards co-development agreements, to maneuver
Egypt`s skyrocketing land prices that threaten the sector`s health along with other aspects that ultimately lead to
hammering the end users through unprecedented cost pressures to satisfy their residential needs. Hence, through
such revenue sharing skewed business model, Porto is seen performing well through its targeted middle income with
an affordable wide ranged offering that guarantees healthy margins.
The group operates through a number of subsidiaries almost fully owned, through which the company supervises
its operations domestically and regionally.

Operational Overview
In contrary to the norm, the pre-split developer Amer Group primary operations started by the familiar restaurant
chain known today. As the group grew back in the days, Real Estate operations became a new target. The group real
estate operation started by targeting secondary home destinations, mainly through invading Egypt`s North coast. A
move that grew a decent pool of promising clients, encouraging more diversification to target the primary residential
market Cairo. Amer introduced its primary housing Porto Concept through multiple promising developments in East
and West Cairo; that grew enough for a spin off.
Porto is currently in charge of developing 12 projects distributed across Egypt and the MENA region, divided between
primary residential destinations and secondary homes. All of the projects are developed on a revenue sharing basis
with co-developers who mainly supply needed land plots with the exception of Porto Cairo, whose land is owned and
paid by Porto, beside Porto Dead Sea and Agadir whose land payments will be incurred by Porto once certain
conditions are met.
All of the group`s projects whether targeting primary or secondary housing, enjoy the characteristics of the mixed-use
developments; being rich with entertainment destinations, commercial properties including office buildings, hotel
chains and healthcare developments in addition to shopping malls and other necessary and/or luxurious amenities.
Porto Group is in charge of developing all of the projects` BUA, which is later recognized on the company`s
statements as its own revenues. However, the group will not be involved with running the recurring income
properties, as the property management duties were transferred to Amer Group co. at the spin off.
The Porto concept became a destination for non-residents as well through its seasonal and annual concerts and other
musical and entertainment festivals held across the group`s projects that helps in capturing the attention of potential
buyers while successfully retaining the group`s current residents interest in future Porto developments as a
destination for their children. Such heavy spending on providing the ultimate easy life helped Porto to stand out when
it comes to competition over Egypt`s middle income class, as the group offering comes at reasonable prices. The
Porto concept was to an extent capable of extending it's offering as well to enlarge its target pool through addressing
the high end income class population through its east and west Cairo developments that competes well with other
sophisticated developments found there.
Porto currently has access to 4,746.3k Sqm of land area, currently 2.9% is owned by the company representing Porto
Cairo`s land while the remaining portion are obtained through Joint Ventures or Co-development Agreements the
company joins. As per the company, Porto`s direct ownership will be growing after fulfilling Porto Dead Sea`s and
Agadir`s liabilities and conditions. The remaining projects are held on co-development agreements with Amer Group,
third parties and KUWAIDCO the largest contributor to Porto`s currently under-development land bank.

of project launches with Porto Heliopolis and Porto Saeed indicated to be launched before 2016 year end. Porto
Tartous Syria was supposed to be launched in 2010, in which some of the commercial properties were actually
established and operated, however the project was halted due to the ongoing security turbulences threatening
operations. Porto Group also has interest in Morocco through its secondary home target project "Porto Agadir" which
is still under licensing and design with no exact launch date yet announced.

Strategic Business Model
We see Porto Group`s current business model as a high risk/high return model, as the model mainly depends on land
contribution from third parties. The high risk is stemmed from the currently unavailable free land bank owned by
Porto Group for other projects deployment beyond its 12 projects` pipeline. While the high reward is mainly due to
the ready to move to land plots contributed through the strategic JVs the company enter, which helps in speeding up
the infrastructure and construction phases, and lead to sales launch in record time. As most of the contributed
projects land, was originally acquired way below the current inflated auctioned land prices; hence, securing rich
margins. The group has not yet recognized revenues except from Porto Cairo and Porto October, although it has a
respectful sum of sales to date, which promises a strong recognition over the upcoming years. The group has only
sold c. 21% of its BUA which help minimizing the downside risk of free land bank unavailability beyond the announced
projects.

Projects` Analysis
According to our estimated we believe, Porto Group currently has EGP 17.2bn of sales to take place from 2016 to
2023, with revenues to be recognized over 2016-2025 totaling EGP 21.6bn, excluding Porto Saeed and Porto Agadir,
as both projects are still under design and not fully licensed yet. This should act as a strong upside to our numbers
once progress takes place in any of the 2 not included projects, as we roughly estimate Porto Saeed`s sales above EGP
2.7bn, which should strongly add to the company`s promising revenues. We estimated Porto group dues to co-
development partners for their land contribution at c. EGP 4.4bn from contracted sales. The group also still has EGP
9.97bn of development costs to be recognized.
Over the forecast horizon, we see Porto October the highest in contribution to sales and revenues recognition, given
the project size, followed by Porto Dead Sea the company`s first successful attempt in penetrating the MENA region
through its secondary home concept. The average payment duration followed is 4-years for all residential sales,
whether primary or secondary housing, while commercial payment schedules range from 2 to 3 years.
Usually, real Estate developers launch their commercial and retail allocated areas for sale earlier than residential
launch, to add value to their properties and execute sales at a fast tracked time line. Such methodology is not strictly
followed by Porto Group; that often launch Amer featured chains first.The group is known for its fast tracked
construction process and committed delivery dates. We believe units’ delivery usually takes 3 years for the first patch
of sales, followed by an average of 2 years. Mainly due to the group construction methodology of contraction trusted
medium sized sub-contractors.

1- Porto Cairo
The project comprises of 3 main components; residential, commercial and a healthcare devoted portion. The
whole project sales are estimated at EGP 1.31bn out of which EGP 0.12bn remains yet unsold; while we see the
project total development costs around EGP 1.03bn. The project is extended over:
a- Porto Cairo Villas: The residential component only contained villas, which was fully sold out by the end of
2015. We believe the villas component final deliveries will take place over 2016 and early 2017 with EGP
42mn remaining to be recognized.
b- Porto Cairo Mall: Approximately 93.6% of the project BUA was sold up to 1Q2016, we believe the remaining
BUA to be sold in 2016.
c- Porto Cairo Clinics: A 2 Buildings project, the first was sold as clinics, generating c. EGP 90mn of sales from
2012 to 2015. The 2nd building is still under consideration whether to be sold as a hospital or separate
clinics. We pushed the building sale forward a little to 2018, and assumed the building to be sold as a 1
piece hospital until further clarity over the matter.

2- Porto New Cairo
A huge project at the heart of East Cairo that is planned to be a self sufficient gated community, featuring both
residential (Apartments) and commercial components along with plans to establish a 45 keys hotel and other
facilities including a garage. Up to 2015 end a total of EGP 1.8bn of sales took place with no recognized revenues
from the whole projects, which leave us with around EGP 0.67bn of sales estimated to take place from 2016 to
2018, and a total of EGP 2.47bn of revenues to be recognized from 2016 to 2021. The project total development
cost is estimated at around EGP 1.0bn. The project land was supplied by KUWAIDCO in return for a 25% revenue
share, leaving an average margin north of 35%.
We valued Porto New Cairo sellable residential and commercial BUA at EGP 69.8mn, while we valued the
company`s dedicated land for the establishment of the recurring revenue stream properties at EGP 57.4mn after
deducting KUWAIDCO share. Such properties are believed to be managed by Amer group.
We believe the remaining 13.6% of residential BUA to be sold over 2016 and 2017; the reason for extending
sales to 2017 our belief that East Cairo residential market is currently over crowded with supply at relatively high
pricing levels. We also estimate the remaining 30.4% of the New Cairo Mall BUA to be from 2016 to 2018, being
relatively the highest priced commercial space in East Cairo.

3- Porto October
The largest and most valuable project in Porto Group`s portfolio, planned over 1.38mn Sqm of land area over
which 0.69mn Sqm will represent the BUA divided between residential, commercial, hospitality and educational
components. The project`s land was supplied by KUWAIDCO in a co-development agreement in return for 25% of
the project`s revenues. We estimated the project total sales value at EGP 8.8bn; mainly as we believe 2016 and
2017 Egypt projected residential market performance will be weaker in terms of purchasers` ability. Hence, we
matched our assumptions to such belief. We extended Porto October residential component sales up to 2019,
over such period we assume 44.3% of the dedicated BUA to be sold, after a cumulative percentage of 55.7% sold
from 2013 to 2015 year end. We see commercial sales also slowing down, driven from the high supply of all
types of commercial units in West Cairo, so we extended the remaining 76.9% of BUA post 2015 sales, over the
period from 2016 to 2023.
We valued the residential and commercial components at EGP 505.7mn, and valued the allocated land area for
the 5-stars hotel, hospital, school, club and garage at EGP 89.2mn. We choose not to value such properties on a
DCF methodology as we are not sure yet the business model to be followed, whether leasing will be an option,
direct sales or property management by Amer. The EGP 89.2mn is the most probable scenario in our view after
considering KUWAIDCO share, in case Porto Group is to resell the land, assumed to take place by 2018.

4- Porto Pyramids
The company most recent launch that took place in 1Q2016, to record contracted sales of EGP 26.8mn for 14
units at an average area of 180 Sqm per unit. The project is planned over 101.9k Sqm over which a total BUA of
175.5k Sqm will be developed, mostly residential in addition to a planned 5-stars hotel and a sports club beside a
garage available to the commercial area. We project the total project sales at EGP 1.59bn with costs estimated at
EGP 0.73bn. The project is developed in cooperation with a third party contributing the land area in return for
19% of contracted sales leaving around EGP 1.29bn of sales for Porto Group, according to our estimates.
We see sales smoothing beyond 2017 and extended it to 2021; however, we believe the development will be
relatively less priced in comparison with Porto New Cairo and Porto October. We expect deliveries and
recognition to start by 2018.

5- Porto Heliopolis
The group`s anticipated launch for 2016, probably taking place in 4Q2016; to raise the Porto flags in Heliopolis
district, to an extent away from the deadly competition over the East and West. The project will be mostly
apartment buildings, planned over 27k Sqm, over which 132.6k Sqm will represent the residential BUA, 23.2k
Sqm for the commercial developments and other Service BUA of 20k Sqm including Hospital and other offices.
The project`s land was provided by Amer Group co. in return for 40% revenue share.
We believe Porto Heliopolis will be more than welcomed from a large tranche of Cairo`s residents who are not
looking to shift to the outskirts while searching for the amenities provided by today`s modern gated live
communities. We see 2016 residential sales at 10% of the BUA, and then set a pyramid shaped scheme.
Concerning the project pricing, we launch sales at approximately EGP 10k/Sqm and do not exceed EGP
11.5k/Sqm over the sales duration. As the project is mainly apartment buildings, in one of Egypt`s over crowded
districts; however, we see an upgrade potential for the pricing scheme if the company was actually able to set
higher prices.

of BUA, mostly residential with only 1.6k Sqm representing the commercial component. Launch took place in
2015, with EGP 175.1mn of sales recorded to date, while deliveries are planned to start by 2017. We set the
project`s payment time line over 4 years, and set deliveries at 2-3 years from sales. We estimate the project total

7- Porto Sokhna islands
A secondary home project, complementary to Porto Sokhna, constructed over a land area of 152k Sqm, and a
BUA of 65.8k Sqm. The project has no commercial or other services allocated area, as an incentive to Porto
Sokhna commercial operations, while saving extra development costs. The project`s land is one of Amer Group`s
properties in return for a 20% share.
We estimate the project`s total sales at EGP 0.71bn out of which EGP 0.35bn remains unrealized. We set the
project`s costs equivalent to EGP 0.42bn, considering the rough nature of lands in such location, requiring higher
infrastructure and construction costs. The project is also planned to include a 50 beds hospital, in process over
an 8k Sqm land area with a total BUA of 6.2k Sqm which we valued at EGP 16.1mn. The hospital construction
would add a strong upside potential to Porto Sokhna islands valuation, as the project`s location is known for its
scarce medical care destinations, especially if Porto Group decided on retaining the property to be operated by
Amer Group instead of selling it.

8- Porto Matrouh
The project is considered Porto’s one step forward ahead of Egypt`s real estate developers, being the first
sophisticated developer to apply the secondary home concept in Marsa Matrouh. The city is currently getting
more attention as the government keeps on extending better infrastructure. We estimate the project total sales
to come north to EGP 0.76bn, with almost 1% of which being already sold up to 1Q2016. The project is the 4
th
collaboration with Amer Group, contributing the land area for 20% of the project collected sales value. We
estimate development cost to reach EGP 0.42bn, which stills leaves a healthy margin after considering Amer
group`s share.
We set the project`s delivery at 2-years, with minimal deliveries taking place in 2017 and speeding up from 2018,
we also set the project`s average payment schedule at 4-years; and remain conservative in pricing the project
until the group proves its pricing power over Matrouh. The sellable residential component represents 6.5% of
BUA, while the remainder will mainly be operated on a time-share basis. The project also contains around 6.2k
Sqm of commercial area, believed to include the group`s featured cuisines and shopping experience.

9- Porto Dead Sea
The group`s most successful regional journey to date, the second most value additive project following Porto
October. The project is planned over 805k Sqm, provided by the Jordanian development company in return for
JOD 21mn equivalent to EGP 260mn according to our estimation, mainly on the back of the planned payment
scheme and the estimated EGP status versus the JOD. The land liability is payable over 4 years, with the
remaining portion paid as a one shoot in the fifth year; the project`s land ownership will be transferred to Porto
Group then. the project is planned over a BUA of 250k Sqm subject to increase, as the project is an all
apartments project on Jordan Eastern shore.
Currently Porto Group is developing approximately 250k Sqm of the project`s land as a first stage, the company
will receive the remaining area once the first stage is developed as a sort of development guarantee from the
authority there. The land was subject to several conflicts; however, Porto Group is not part of such conflicts and
was promised by the Jordanian government that the project will progress as planned with no risks seen over the
horizon.
The project total estimated sales is close to EGP 5bn, with development costs expected to reach EGP 2.7bn, due
to the rocky nature of the land provided which requires heavy infrastructure installation costs; yet the project
offers an average margin of 44.5% over the recognition period. Out of the total project estimated sales, EGP
117.5mn were recorded in 2015, with no sales recorded in 1Q2016.
We set deliveries according to the company`s guidance, to start by 2017, with the commercial component
deliveries to start by 2019. The project is planned to include a 5-stars hotel, entrainment allocated BUA mainly
for a Cinema and water park establishment in addition to Porto`s featured restaurants chain owned by Amer in
addition to third parties as well.

10- Porto Saeed (not included in valuation)
The group`s entry to Port Saeed, a promising value additive project not included in our valuation yet. Once
launch take place we will instantly revise our preliminary estimates, as we believe the project is still missing
some details on the final master plan, in addition to the pricing level suitable to Port Saeed known for a relatively
well-being citizens.
The project is planned over a total land area of 428.8k Sqm contributed by a third party in return of 15.5% of the
project`s contracted sales. The project`s preliminary announced BUA stands at 328.5k Sqm, of which c. 70%
represents primary housing area. The project is also planned to feature a hotel, club and school once the group
receives the required licenses.
The project was preliminary set for launch by 2016 year end; however, we anticipate such launch to show up in
1H2017. We estimate the project`s payment schedule over 4 years with deliveries to start taking place by 2019.
We subjectively estimate the project`s total sales at EGP 2.76bn contracted from 2017 to 2021, and development
costs at EGP 1.1bn.

11- Porto Agadir & Tartous (not included in valuation)
Porto Agadir is the 2nd largest land area in the group`s portfolio, Porto Group will have be the sole owner of such
land area after receiving the go-ahead approvals and licenses. Porto group already paid a 5% down payment, and
will pay 15% once the license is received and the remaining 80% over 4 installments.

BUA Area 130,380 12,940 179,720 323,040
We did not include both projects in Tartous and Agadir, as both projects destiny remains uncertain; however, we
see potential that Porto Agadir will get its license in the short term, as the process is currently under usual
inspection from the Morocco government.

Porto Group - Initiation of Coverage - August 2016

  • 1. PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH AUTOMOTIVE |EGYPT GB AUTO – INITIATION OF COVERAGE JANUARY, 14TH 2016 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH HOUSING|EGYPT PORTO GROUP – INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 4TH 2016 WE INITIATE COVERAGE FOR … PORT … ASSIGNING A “STRONG BUY” RATING PORTO GROUP, … IS CURRENTLY TAKING ITS PRIMARY AND SECONDARY HOME DEVELOPMENTS TO EGYPT`S YET UNTAPPED LOCATIONS BY THE COUNTRY`S PREMIUM DEVELOPERS. … IS GROWING ITS REGIONAL FOOTPRINT, WHICH ALLOWS FOR MORE EXPANSION AND FURTHER CO- DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS. … THE GROUP CURRENTLY APPLIES ONE OF THE BEST STRATEGIC BUSINESS MODELS, SAVING LAND COSTS AND SPEEDING UP DEVELOPMENTS. WE INITIATE COVERAGE FOR PORTO GROUP AT A FAIR VALUE OF EGP 0.47/SHARE IMPLYING 74.5% UPSIDE POTENTIAL. HENCE, WE ASSIGN PORT A “STRONG BUY” RATING.
  • 2. 2 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 2016 We initiate coverage on Porto with a fair value of EGP 0.47/share, we valued Porto Group using SoTP valuation, utilizing an average Cost of Equity of 21.3%; resulting in74.5% upside over current trading level. Porto Group is legally a newly formed entity; the company currently carries operations for 12 projects; 9 of which are domestically deployed, while 3 others are located regionally in Jordan, Syria and Morocco. Back in the days, Porto was just an entertainment concept aiming to gather up families in Porto destinations that were fully equipped with all possible amenities, shopping malls, and golf, fountains or lagoons views. However, the concept got bigger and became widely recognized and mature to the extent the company`s management decided to spin it off in an attempt to make its value more apparent. A spin-off resulted in a solely focused real estate developer “Porto Group”, with a business model skewed towards co-development agreements to skillfully maneuver the inflationary environment and competition over scarce premium spots in satellite cities and secondary home premium spots “North Coast”. Such Co-development agreements help speeding up projects set up and construction, benefiting from the absence of land costs. The group`s unified rainbow theme design implemented across all the company`s projects` portfolio helps saving up bulk design costs incurred by peers. Porto also subcontracts the building and construction process to multiple sub-contractors of medium size which also helps speeding up projects` implementation. The group also indicates that development takes place across multiple projects simultaneously according to the managements` analysis of cost-benefit outcome to match the selling and marketing activities. We believe the Real Estate sector is currently suffering from an implicit stress not yet severe enough to shape a trauma but definitely sets a probable downside risk that might be on its way to grow until explosion. There is currently an estimated total of 3mn real demanded housing units surpassing the highly priced offering available, mostly from the middle-to-low income brackets. However, yet from all income classes we see the population putting in more efforts to satisfy their residential needs before its way too expensive to do so, whether such residential need is for immediate use and satisfaction or as an inventory for promising use. Such beliefs are driving prices even higher, which mandates us to warn about a red flag we see; payment defaults might be on its way up already; but still covered by new purchases, which led developers to extend their payment schemes offered up to 10 years in some cases. In addition to that the recent devaluation rounds have led too much to preserve money in real estate, a matter that might even grow more in times the greenback become too scarce to find. Such risk would definitely impact investors’ resale values due to the average citizen being under severe attack from inflation. In brief, dynamics` correction might be fierce, in case pricing upward jumps continues. However, we see Porto Group perfectly benefiting from the current real estate dynamics, being a middle income housing provider with eyes on the high end, through its gated premium quality recent developments in West and East Cairo. The group is also on its way to build a portfolio of recurring revenue streams properties which we value most on a NAV basis as the developments will add heavily to the company`s health while we are not yet fully sure of such developments treatment whether they will be sold to third parties or become operated by Amer Group. Porto Group enjoys an unlevered status, with minimal over draft amounts apparently raised and closed before quarters` ends, to cover up any probable short fall in cash balances and/or advances, due to the accelerated execution that take place by the company. Such aspect remains a key to valuation upgrade, as it would alter the massive cost of capital downward, once Porto decides on shifting its capital structure.

  • 3. 3 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 2016 SOURCE: PRIME Porto Group has a rich pipeline of launches expected. The company said it plans launching Porto Heliopolis and Porto Saeed, two major catalysts to the company`s stock before year end; following Porto Pyramids launch in 1Q2016. However, we currently account for Porto Heliopolis launch to take place in 2016, and believe that Porto Saeed launch will not take place before 2017. We considered Porto Heliopolis in our valuation being closer to materialize in our opinion, while Porto Saeed would be added once the company announces further details concerning the master plan, pricing and final launch date as the project is one of the few huge projects the company owns, in addition to that some aspects of the project are still under licensing. Valuation From the rich portfolio we see owned by Porto group, we found Porto October to be the largest contributor to the company`s valuation adding 27.7% of total value. We valued the residential and commercial portion of each project using a Discounted Cash Flows methodology, while valuing the land areas dedicated to schools, hospitals, garages, clubs and/or hotels on Net Asset Value basis post contributing the third party share. Although such NAVs are at the more or less relative and/or subjective, we maintained our conservatism to the extent in setting values, in order not to be over optimistic while not neglecting a massive portion of land area unaccounted for. We assumed 2017/2018 to be the range within which the company to decide on such properties destination, whether they will be retained and operated by Amer Group or sold to third parties. We valued Porto Group using SoTP; the largest contributor to our valuation was the residential and commercial portion of all projects, summing EGP 0.329/share equivalent to approximately 70.1% of our value, while NAV added EGP 0.07/share equivalent to 13.8%. Hence, SoTP yielded a total of EFP 1,801.8mn equivalent to EGP 0.395/share. Although Porto Group still carries a debt free balance sheet, the adverse impact of discounting cash flow as the cost of equity was partially smoothed through adding a net cash balance to the stock`s value; adding approximately EGP 0.08/share. We did not add Porto Saeed to the valued projects, as we chose to wait for the announcement of a specific launch date, or a closer guidance to the anticipated pricing levels and planned construction and infrastructure costs.

  • 4. 4 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 2016 Upside Risks 1) Faster than accounted for selling duration, as we extended most projects` sales duration more than planned; due to our beliefs is currently suffering from a stressed status. 2) More co-development agreements to follow after the current portfolio`s successful execution. 3) Inflation easing, macro status improvement reflected in disposable income and purchasing power enhancement would definitely be reflected positively on Porto Group being the ultimate gated community targeted by most middle-income youth. 4) Adding Porto Saeed NPV to the stock`s total value once the master plan, pricing and final launch date are announced, would add at least 6-7% per our preliminary figures. 5) Any progress from the morocco government concerning the legal procedures and land allocation for Porto Agadir would act as strong upside to the stock as the project is not accounted for in our valuation. 6) Considering debt financing would add up to the company`s valuation, in case new sales fall short. Downside Risks 1) In our view, any further EGP devaluation, would adversely impact real estate sales` proceeds from now on, as the pricing level is seen steep upward sloping with un matching income levels able to support the current inflationary environment. 2) Porto Group`s plans for targeting more high-end income related citizens on the cost of losing the middle income client base, might be fatal, due to the high end concentrated market and the middle income affordability obstacles. 3) A Stagnant status to hit the real estate market, on the back of hyper increase in selling prices. 4) Absence of rapid solutions for Egypt`s current economic conditions would adversely affect demand for the real estate sector. 5) Further building materials costs increase beyond our estimations, would negatively affect Porto Group`s margins.

  • 6. 6 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 2016 The Spin-off Story Back in November 2014, Egypt’s real estate firm Amer Group announced the extraordinary general meeting’s approval of splitting the company into two separate companies; Amer Holding (demerging company) and Porto Holding (demerged company). The spin off rationale was about the Porto concept getting mature without a matching recognition as expected by the management, as the management believed that through splitting the 2 entities the value implied in Porto projects would become more transparent and clear. While Amer Group pre-split carried revenue streams of property management would then become priced and reflected in the stock`s performance. Hence, the spin off took place to show both companies real intrinsic value. The two companies joined EGX database on 21 October, and commenced trading on 22 October 2015. The split took place based on the book value as per 9M2015 Financials, hence splitting assets and liabilities at the carrying value at the split date. Amer board decided the split to take place on a 2:1 ratio, cutting down Amer Group par value to EGP 0.2/share to create Porto Group`s EGP 0.1/share worth par value. The capital cut took Amer paid in capital to EGP 911.9mn down from EGP 1,367.9mn, and hence creating Porto Group`s current capital of EGP 455.9mn. Amer group commenced trading at EGP 0.58/share, while Porto group commenced at EGP 0.29/share. Porto Group became Egypt`s middle income-targeting real estate developer carrying projects locally in primary and secondary residential markets, while taking its successful secondary home concept regionally; through flying to Jordan, Morocco and Syria. Amer Group turned into specializing in hospitality, restaurants, and commercial centers operations in addition to property management. Porto Group in Focus Porto Group took over the responsibility of real estate development post the split; the company currently has an impressive portfolio of launched and under-designing/licensing projects. Located in Egypt`s most exclusive locations beside some of the region`s attractive spots in Jordon, Morocco and Syria. The current projects portfolio indicates a business model skewed towards co-development agreements, to maneuver Egypt`s skyrocketing land prices that threaten the sector`s health along with other aspects that ultimately lead to hammering the end users through unprecedented cost pressures to satisfy their residential needs. Hence, through such revenue sharing skewed business model, Porto is seen performing well through its targeted middle income with an affordable wide ranged offering that guarantees healthy margins. The group operates through a number of subsidiaries almost fully owned, through which the company supervises its operations domestically and regionally.

  • 7. 7 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 2016 SOURCE: PORTO GROUP Operational Overview In contrary to the norm, the pre-split developer Amer Group primary operations started by the familiar restaurant chain known today. As the group grew back in the days, Real Estate operations became a new target. The group real estate operation started by targeting secondary home destinations, mainly through invading Egypt`s North coast. A move that grew a decent pool of promising clients, encouraging more diversification to target the primary residential market Cairo. Amer introduced its primary housing Porto Concept through multiple promising developments in East and West Cairo; that grew enough for a spin off. Porto is currently in charge of developing 12 projects distributed across Egypt and the MENA region, divided between primary residential destinations and secondary homes. All of the projects are developed on a revenue sharing basis with co-developers who mainly supply needed land plots with the exception of Porto Cairo, whose land is owned and paid by Porto, beside Porto Dead Sea and Agadir whose land payments will be incurred by Porto once certain conditions are met. All of the group`s projects whether targeting primary or secondary housing, enjoy the characteristics of the mixed-use developments; being rich with entertainment destinations, commercial properties including office buildings, hotel chains and healthcare developments in addition to shopping malls and other necessary and/or luxurious amenities. Porto Group is in charge of developing all of the projects` BUA, which is later recognized on the company`s statements as its own revenues. However, the group will not be involved with running the recurring income properties, as the property management duties were transferred to Amer Group co. at the spin off. The Porto concept became a destination for non-residents as well through its seasonal and annual concerts and other musical and entertainment festivals held across the group`s projects that helps in capturing the attention of potential buyers while successfully retaining the group`s current residents interest in future Porto developments as a destination for their children. Such heavy spending on providing the ultimate easy life helped Porto to stand out when it comes to competition over Egypt`s middle income class, as the group offering comes at reasonable prices. The Porto concept was to an extent capable of extending it's offering as well to enlarge its target pool through addressing the high end income class population through its east and west Cairo developments that competes well with other sophisticated developments found there. Porto currently has access to 4,746.3k Sqm of land area, currently 2.9% is owned by the company representing Porto Cairo`s land while the remaining portion are obtained through Joint Ventures or Co-development Agreements the company joins. As per the company, Porto`s direct ownership will be growing after fulfilling Porto Dead Sea`s and Agadir`s liabilities and conditions. The remaining projects are held on co-development agreements with Amer Group, third parties and KUWAIDCO the largest contributor to Porto`s currently under-development land bank.

Out of which EGP 2.03bn have been recognized as of the end of 1Q2016. The group also has a strong and promising pipeline of project launches with Porto Heliopolis and Porto Saeed indicated to be launched before 2016 year end. Porto Tartous Syria was supposed to be launched in 2010, in which some of the commercial properties were actually established and operated, however the project was halted due to the ongoing security turbulences threatening operations. Porto Group also has interest in Morocco through its secondary home target project "Porto Agadir" which is still under licensing and design with no exact launch date yet announced.

The high risk is stemmed from the currently unavailable free land bank owned by Porto Group for other projects deployment beyond its 12 projects` pipeline. While the high reward is mainly due to the ready to move to land plots contributed through the strategic JVs the company enter, which helps in speeding up the infrastructure and construction phases, and lead to sales launch in record time. As most of the contributed projects land, was originally acquired way below the current inflated auctioned land prices; hence, securing rich margins. The group has not yet recognized revenues except from Porto Cairo and Porto October, although it has a respectful sum of sales to date, which promises a strong recognition over the upcoming years. The group has only sold c. 21% of its BUA which help minimizing the downside risk of free land bank unavailability beyond the announced projects. 9.5% 30.2% 15.1% 45.2% Amer Group KUWAIDCO Other Developers/Authorities Porto Group 9.5% 30.2% 15.1%2.9% 42.3% Amer Group KUWAIDCO Other Developers/Authorities Porto Group Dead Sea & Agadir
  • 9. 9 PRIME INVESTMENT RESEARCH PORTO GROUP - INITIATION OF COVERAGE AUGUST, 2016 SOURCE: PRIME SOURCE: PRIME Projects` Analysis According to our estimated we believe, Porto Group currently has EGP 17.2bn of sales to take place from 2016 to 2023, with revenues to be recognized over 2016-2025 totaling EGP 21.6bn, excluding Porto Saeed and Porto Agadir, as both projects are still under design and not fully licensed yet. This should act as a strong upside to our numbers once progress takes place in any of the 2 not included projects, as we roughly estimate Porto Saeed`s sales above EGP 2.7bn, which should strongly add to the company`s promising revenues. We estimated Porto group dues to co- development partners for their land contribution at c. EGP 4.4bn from contracted sales. The group also still has EGP 9.97bn of development costs to be recognized. Over the forecast horizon, we see Porto October the highest in contribution to sales and revenues recognition, given the project size, followed by Porto Dead Sea the company`s first successful attempt in penetrating the MENA region through its secondary home concept. The average payment duration followed is 4-years for all residential sales, whether primary or secondary housing, while commercial payment schedules range from 2 to 3 years. Usually, real Estate developers launch their commercial and retail allocated areas for sale earlier than residential launch, to add value to their properties and execute sales at a fast tracked time line. Such methodology is not strictly followed by Porto Group; that often launch Amer featured chains first.The group is known for its fast tracked construction process and committed delivery dates. We believe units’ delivery usually takes 3 years for the first patch of sales, followed by an average of 2 years. Mainly due to the group construction methodology of contraction trusted medium sized sub-contractors.

Up to 2015 end a total of EGP 1.8bn of sales took place with no recognized revenues from the whole projects, which leave us with around EGP 0.67bn of sales estimated to take place from 2016 to 2018, and a total of EGP 2.47bn of revenues to be recognized from 2016 to 2021. The project total development cost is estimated at around EGP 1.0bn. The project land was supplied by KUWAIDCO in return for a 25% revenue share, leaving an average margin north of 35%. We valued Porto New Cairo sellable residential and commercial BUA at EGP 69.8mn, while we valued the company`s dedicated land for the establishment of the recurring revenue stream properties at EGP 57.4mn after deducting KUWAIDCO share. Such properties are believed to be managed by Amer group. We believe the remaining 13.6% of residential BUA to be sold over 2016 and 2017; the reason for extending sales to 2017 our belief that East Cairo residential market is currently over crowded with supply at relatively high pricing levels. We also estimate the remaining 30.4% of the New Cairo Mall BUA to be from 2016 to 2018, being relatively the highest priced commercial space in East Cairo.

We extended Porto October residential component sales up to 2019, over such period we assume 44.3% of the dedicated BUA to be sold, after a cumulative percentage of 55.7% sold from 2013 to 2015 year end. We see commercial sales also slowing down, driven from the high supply of all types of commercial units in West Cairo, so we extended the remaining 76.9% of BUA post 2015 sales, over the period from 2016 to 2023. We valued the residential and commercial components at EGP 505.7mn, and valued the allocated land area for the 5-stars hotel, hospital, school, club and garage at EGP 89.2mn. We choose not to value such properties on a DCF methodology as we are not sure yet the business model to be followed, whether leasing will be an option, direct sales or property management by Amer. The EGP 89.2mn is the most probable scenario in our view after considering KUWAIDCO share, in case Porto Group is to resell the land, assumed to take place by 2018.

The project is planned over 101.9k Sqm over which a total BUA of 175.5k Sqm will be developed, mostly residential in addition to a planned 5-stars hotel and a sports club beside a garage available to the commercial area. We project the total project sales at EGP 1.59bn with costs estimated at EGP 0.73bn. The project is developed in cooperation with a third party contributing the land area in return for 19% of contracted sales leaving around EGP 1.29bn of sales for Porto Group, according to our estimates. We see sales smoothing beyond 2017 and extended it to 2021; however, we believe the development will be relatively less priced in comparison with Porto New Cairo and Porto October. We expect deliveries and recognition to start by 2018.

The project will be mostly apartment buildings, planned over 27k Sqm, over which 132.6k Sqm will represent the residential BUA, 23.2k Sqm for the commercial developments and other Service BUA of 20k Sqm including Hospital and other offices. The project`s land was provided by Amer Group co. in return for 40% revenue share. We believe Porto Heliopolis will be more than welcomed from a large tranche of Cairo`s residents who are not looking to shift to the outskirts while searching for the amenities provided by today`s modern gated live communities. We see 2016 residential sales at 10% of the BUA, and then set a pyramid shaped scheme. Concerning the project pricing, we launch sales at approximately EGP 10k/Sqm and do not exceed EGP 11.5k/Sqm over the sales duration. As the project is mainly apartment buildings, in one of Egypt`s over crowded districts; however, we see an upgrade potential for the pricing scheme if the company was actually able to set higher prices.

The project is planned over 138k Sqm of BUA, mostly residential with only 1.6k Sqm representing the commercial component. Launch took place in 2015, with EGP 175.1mn of sales recorded to date, while deliveries are planned to start by 2017. We set the project`s payment time line over 4 years, and set deliveries at 2-3 years from sales. We estimate the project total sales at EGP 1.34bn, while costs at EGP 0.82bn.

The project has no commercial or other services allocated area, as an incentive to Porto Sokhna commercial operations, while saving extra development costs. The project`s land is one of Amer Group`s properties in return for a 20% share. We estimate the project`s total sales at EGP 0.71bn out of which EGP 0.35bn remains unrealized. We set the project`s costs equivalent to EGP 0.42bn, considering the rough nature of lands in such location, requiring higher infrastructure and construction costs. The project is also planned to include a 50 beds hospital, in process over an 8k Sqm land area with a total BUA of 6.2k Sqm which we valued at EGP 16.1mn. The hospital construction would add a strong upside potential to Porto Sokhna islands valuation, as the project`s location is known for its scarce medical care destinations, especially if Porto Group decided on retaining the property to be operated by Amer Group instead of selling it.

The city is currently getting more attention as the government keeps on extending better infrastructure. We estimate the project total sales to come north to EGP 0.76bn, with almost 1% of which being already sold up to 1Q2016. The project is the 4 th collaboration with Amer Group, contributing the land area for 20% of the project collected sales value. We estimate development cost to reach EGP 0.42bn, which stills leaves a healthy margin after considering Amer group`s share. We set the project`s delivery at 2-years, with minimal deliveries taking place in 2017 and speeding up from 2018, we also set the project`s average payment schedule at 4-years; and remain conservative in pricing the project until the group proves its pricing power over Matrouh. The sellable residential component represents 6.5% of BUA, while the remainder will mainly be operated on a time-share basis. The project also contains around 6.2k Sqm of commercial area, believed to include the group`s featured cuisines and shopping experience.

The project is planned over 805k Sqm, provided by the Jordanian development company in return for JOD 21mn equivalent to EGP 260mn according to our estimation, mainly on the back of the planned payment scheme and the estimated EGP status versus the JOD. The land liability is payable over 4 years, with the remaining portion paid as a one shoot in the fifth year; the project`s land ownership will be transferred to Porto Group then. the project is planned over a BUA of 250k Sqm subject to increase, as the project is an all apartments project on Jordan Eastern shore. Currently Porto Group is developing approximately 250k Sqm of the project`s land as a first stage, the company will receive the remaining area once the first stage is developed as a sort of development guarantee from the authority there. The land was subject to several conflicts; however, Porto Group is not part of such conflicts and was promised by the Jordanian government that the project will progress as planned with no risks seen over the horizon. The project total estimated sales is close to EGP 5bn, with development costs expected to reach EGP 2.7bn, due to the rocky nature of the land provided which requires heavy infrastructure installation costs; yet the project offers an average margin of 44.5% over the recognition period. Out of the total project estimated sales, EGP 117.5mn were recorded in 2015, with no sales recorded in 1Q2016. We set deliveries according to the company`s guidance, to start by 2017, with the commercial component deliveries to start by 2019. The project is planned to include a 5-stars hotel, entrainment allocated BUA mainly for a Cinema and water park establishment in addition to Porto`s featured restaurants chain owned by Amer in addition to third parties as well.
