Arthur D. Little - Covid19 impact on automotive industry_update June 2020Fabrizio Arena
Estimates of the impact of the crisis on the automotive market continue to deteriorate with a forecast for 2020 of -22,3% compared to 2019 volumes on a global scale with key markets such as Europe and the US particularly impacted (-24,9% and -26,6% respectively). The recovery will be long and will take 2-3 years
Also prolonged factories’ shutdowns (gradually reopened between April and May) have led to a further contraction in production forecasts for 2020 (-22% compared to 2019) with a consequent negative impact on vehicles’ delivery times that are expected to add complexity to the market recovery
Self Storage Annual Report 2016 in conjunction with SSA UKCushman & Wakefield
The SSA UK / Cushman & Wakefield Annual Survey is the most comprehensive insight into the UK self storage industry ever produced. Combining data from both industry operators and the general public, the report details trends in both supply and demand for self storage in the UK. This document is essential reading for anyone investing, owning, operating or considering entering the self storage industry in the UK.
The European real estate outlook in the context of the current economic climate.
Preliminary figures show the euro zone lost some momentum in the first half of 2018, but GDP growth still remains solid at ~2%.
Tightening labour markets have not yet prompted strong wage growth. As inflation rises there is likely to be a squeeze on household income growth.
Although GDP growth rates vary greatly from one country to the next, overall, the economic backdrop as it pertains to the property markets is expected to remain healthy at least for next couple of years.

I believe we’re in an age where the traditional resume is no longer enough. This presentation is my first step at building a collection of case studies to highlight work from roles I’ve held over the course of my career.
While my work roles have spanned agency, brand and service supplier sides of the fence, and my titles have been all over the map, my work experience can primarily be categorized in four areas: (1) applied analytics (database / marketing), (2) event marketing, (3) experiential / out-of-Home and (4) partnership Marketing.
I've been fortunate in my career to learn from the best and to have gotten to play in some pretty big sand boxes. An eternal student, I love learning and sharing what I have learned with others. Hit me up if you have question, ideas or opportunities.

The consumer is extremely fickle minded and demanding . The mobile ecosystem is complex and is always transforming. It offers many challenges to running a sustainable and viable mobile gaming business. Not denying that we have a few winners.

A noteworthy upward trend was recorded by the Government Bond Index in May that reached a record high of 401 points. Similar levels have not been recorded again since the construction of the index. Furthermore, for the first time, the index recorded a weighted average yield of 7.1%, which is well below its level one month ago. The agreement for the completion on the Greek program evaluation and the three-point plan for debt relief, gave further impetus to the upturn of the index which had already started in mid-March.

Ey profit warning stress index q3 2018 7Robert Hussey
For those looking at a UK listing – this is a very insightful piece of research based on EY’s Profits Warning Stress Index. In Q3 2018, the market has experienced the highest average share price fall since the financial crisis. 206 earnings downgrades in the first nine months of the year. The Consumer sectors are dominating these earnings downgrades but with domestic and global uncertainty, we are seeing signs of contraction spreading wider a field (industrial and finance sectors). If one combines this with the number of recent IPO’s either being pulled or priced at the lower of the range, a cautionary picture in certainly painted.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor to trade with.
@Pi_vendor_247
where can I find a legit pi merchant onlineDOT TECH
Yes. This is very easy what you need is a recommendation from someone who has successfully traded pi coins before with a merchant.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi network coins and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold thousands of pi coins before the open mainnet.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Key Investment Considerations
We update our Top Pick list, which includes Motor Oil, OTE, FFGROUP and Jumbo. MOH enjoys a favorable benchmark margin
environment, as well as favorable FX dynamics. OTE combines attractive valuation multiples with low leverage, produces at least
Eur0.5 bn of free cash flow per year and sets to benefit from rising broadband penetration. FFGRPOUP offers exposure to
growing markets such as the Chinese one and attractive valuations due to recent stock weakness. Jumbo enjoys solid
fundamentals, significant market share gains in Greece and growing international presence due to recent entrance in the
Romanian market
Apart from our top picks, we have Outperform ratings on Aegean Airlines, ATHEX, OPAP and Fourlis. In the banking sector, we
have an Outperform rating on Alpha Bank
The valuation of our non-bank universe implies an upside potential of 19.8%, while the DDM model generates an upside of
14.7%
A positive contribution by the banking sector could render the Greek market as the best performing market in 2016. Greek
banks trade at a c70% discount to their tangible book, while they also enjoy capital ratios of around 19%. A swift conclusion of
the programme review followed by a restructuring of Greek debt could lead bank valuations to double
Further, OECD leading indicator points to a rebound of the economic activity in Greece. The recent upgrade of Greece by S&P is
another positive signal
Positive triggers to our valuation include a) the successful and timely completion of the review of the Greek programme; b) a
firm resolution of the Greek debt issue; c) better than currently anticipated economy dynamics with key catalyst being the
privatization programme (i.e. regional airports, ports, Hellinikon and energy market), efficient absorption of EU funds and
possible consumption recovery supported by lower fuel costs; and d) effective management of the banking sector’s NPLs
Apart from the volatility of the global environment, the key domestic down-side risk is political instability triggered by the
implementation of politically sensitive reforms such as the pension reform

Politics remain a risk; review of the programme the key focus in the short term
Main short to mid-term challenges
• Pass the Pension reform from the
Parliament
• Resolve the migrant standoff
between EU and Greece
• Pass the review of the Greek
programme
If successful…
• ….will lead to a repricing of Greek assets
higher
• It could at a later stage instigate the
initiation of the talks for a possible
restructuring of the Greek debt
If not successful…
• …will lead to an increase of political risk
• Could shake the foundations of the
Greek coalition government and
possibly lead to early elections
• Will put downward pressure on Greek
assets

Average CPI 1960-2015
• Annual CPI remains in negative
territory continuously since March
2013
• Expectations for 2016 call for
marginally positive inflation
• Low oil prices and tight fiscal policy
should keep price growth at bay
• Unemployment remains at elevated levels
especially in the 15-29 age bracket
• Recent fall in unemployment is mainly driven
by the tourism sector and an increase in part
time employment (c9% of total)

On historical data, the Greek market does not seem to be attractive …
• Earnings yield for the market now stands at
7.2% marginally lower than the long term
median of 7.6%. On the other hand GGB yields
remain elevated and limit the upside potential
of equities.
• Schiller P/E remains well above long term
averages on the back of a combination of
weak earnings and deflation; however, the
Greek multiple stands well below global levels

3Q 2015 review: Q3 revenues landed at EUR 388.5mn (+11.8%) EBITDAR at EUR 132.3mn
(+17.5%, despite a 9.4% growth YoY in cash costs) and net profit at EUR 67.1mn (+7.2%).
We were expecting revenues at EUR 366mn , EBITDAR at EUR 116.1mn and net profit at
EUR 59.9mn. Given that cash costs were just 2% higher than our estimates or just EUR
5.8mn higher (EUR 290.6mn vs. PSe EUR 284.8mn) the large delta vs. our estimates is
mainly attributed to the much higher top line, which in turn is due to the much lower
decline in the yield (-8%).
Outlook: We are positive on the name due to favourable jet fuel dynamics and
expectations of continuing growth in inbound traffic. Aegean has been resilient, managing
to weather a very difficult period for Greece essentially unscathed, maintaining strong
profitability, good cash flow generation and a healthy balance sheet. The outlook for the
Greek tourism remains positive with the migrant crisis the main downside risk.
Valuation/estimates: We expect Aegean to expand its operating margin in 2016 due to
top line expansion and lower jet fuel costs. Yields should continue falling due to
competition from LCCs and mainly Ryanair. In all we see Aegean expanding its bottom line
in the low double digits. Valuation-wise we, our blended DCF/multiples exercise returns a
target price of EUR 8.5/share, which implies a total upside of 32%, hence we remain
Buyers on the stock. On our target price, the stock is trading 7.3x P/E 2016e, broadly in
line with European flag carriers.
Valuation triggers: Further decrease in jet fuel prices, macro improvement, which will
lead to a strong pick up in domestic demand, loosening of competition from foreign
operators, EUR strengthening vs the USD.
Downside risks: escalation of the migrant crisis, which could have a negative spill over to
inbound tourism, further increase in competition, spike in jet fuel prices, further
strengthening of the USD, weak tourism
Company description: Aegean Airlines is operating 58 aircrafts in 134 destinations of
which 100 are international and 34 are domestic. The airline will have a capacity of 15mn
available seats in 2015 and we estimate that will post a passenger traffic of 11.5mn
passengers.

Heading for a new start after the completion of Banks’ recap
Q3 ‘15 results Athens Exchange Group announced a rather weak set of 3Q15 results that stood below our
estimates. Results were negatively affected by the capital controls that led to the loss of 23 trading days
during 3Q15 and continuous restrictions in the trading activity of the Greek private investors. 3Q15
revenues came in at EUR 4.55mn, decreased by 52% y-o-y, missing our estimate by c. 10%. The miss to our
estimate is attributed to lower revenues from trading, clearing and depository services, partly offset by
higher than expected revenues from Other Services. EBITDA stood at EUR 0.06mn, vs. our estimate for EUR
0.64mn. The miss to our estimate is attributed to lower than expected top line and slightly higher costs.
Finally, Net Profit reached EUR 0.12mn missing our estimate by 69%, mainly due to lower than expected
Operating Profitability.
Valuation Athens Exchange Group entered a new era after the completion of Banks’ recap, which added c.
EUR 9bn on market’s capitalization. The stock could see higher levels upon the successful completion of
reforms, the existence of a stable political environment and the entrance of the Greek economy on a
recovery path. At the moment taking into account the pending pension reform, we prefer to take a more
conservative stance and as a result we reduce our 2016 estimates on average trading volumes from EUR
119.2mn to EUR 110mn. However, the negative impact from the reduced estimates going forward is not
fully reflected in our target price that is benefited from the fact that we roll over our model forward to
include FY 2018 in our explicit estimates. Our DCF model generates a target price of EUR 5.4/share vs. EUR
5.7 before, with the implied upside potential at 24.4% from current levels. As a result we reiterate an
Outperform rating on the stock. At current levels EXAE trades at 2017E P/E (excl. cash) of 10.3x or at 20.2%
discount vs. Group’s 10-year historical average of 12.8x. The recent announcement for the privatization of
Piraeus Port (67% stake acquired Cosco) provides an additional valuation trigger and could lead to increased
volumes during 2016. We also point Group’s rich Net Cash position that at the end of the 9M period
amounted to EUR 132.5mn (EUR 2.03/share), accounting for c. 44.1% of Group’s market cap.
Valuation triggers Primary trigger includes a pick-up in trading volumes as the sovereign risk resides and
velocity converges to European standards. Volumes above our expectations would also trigger valuation
upgrades. Moreover, the increase of the market capitalization of the Greek market due to improved
sentiment but also due to the recapitalized banking sector should also enhance revenue streams.
Downside risks Trading volumes below our estimates in the next few years is the main downside risk. A
possible re-escalation of the Greek sovereign risk and a risk off approach towards Greek assets would be the
most likely candidates behind lower volumes going forward.

3Q 2015 results: Autohellas reported a good set of results with Q2 revenues of EUR 44.74mn
(+14.8%), EBITDA of EUR 21.7mn (+12.5%) and adjusted net profit of EUR 4.5mn vs EUR
3.4mn last year. Including the dividend from Aegean, the Q2 net stood at EUR 8.8mn (+1.6x).
The EBITDA margin retreated by 1pp to 48.5% due to down trading in both leasing and RaC
and lower margin in used car sales. RaC revenues grew 12.3% at EUR 19.2mn, leasing was
also up by 4.2% at EUR 38.4mn, while sales of used cars stood at EUR 16.2mn (+31.7%). The
group continued to expand abroad, by assuming the Hertz franchise in Ukraine. The revenues
from non-Greek territories grew 14.5% in 1H at EUR 17.4mn and now represents 22.8% of
total revenues.
Outlook: 2015 shapes to be a good year with good sales from both RaC and leasing. In Q4,
we expect a relatively weak Q4, on the back of the impact of the capital controls and some
deterioration in the mix of the inbound traffic, along with a change policy by Ryanair, which
hurt RaC sales. Going forward, we assume a moderate growth in sales and EBITDA given the
high base in the RaC. Leasing growth may have been tampered by the capital controls and
the further tightening of the fiscal policy, which could have a negative spill over in corporate
investment. We believe that the management will opt for a more conservative approach in
2016 to account for the increased political uncertainty and a possible negative impact from
the migrant crisis.
Valuation/estimates: We assume a loss making Q4, bringing the total net profit at cEUR
21mn, a strong print anyway. Our target price stands at EUR 10.0/share, which implies a fwd
P/E of 7.2x, broadly in line with long term multiple. Given the negative upside we retain our
Neutral rating on the stock.
Valuation triggers: Increased penetration in the foreign markets, which will lead to lower
dependence on the Greek market, recovery of the used car market, macro improvement in
Greece.
Downside risks: weak tourism in 2016, leasing and used car market remains in doldrums,
pricing erosion.
Company description: Autohellas is one of the largest Hertz franchisees in the world. It
currently represents Hertz in the markets of Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia,
Montenegro, Ukraine and recently Croatia.

3Q 2015 trading update: Coca Cola HBC reported Q3 volumes in the tune of 577.28mn u.c.
(+5.4%); easy comps (cycling a 4.7% volume decline), along with good weather across
markets and strong growth in the water category helped volume growth, particularly in the
established (+7.4%) and the developing segment (+10.4%). On the other hand the emerging
segment was off by c10mn cases due to deteriorating Russian market. Pricing was down by
3.5% and 3% in the established and developing segments respectively on the back of
deflationary environment prohibiting pricing initiatives and an adverse sales mix due to
increased water volumes. In all revenues declined by 2.7% at EUR 1,768.83mn.
Outlook: The management reiterated its guidance of volume growth in 2015 with operating
margin expansion. FX impact is now seen EUR 10mn higher than previously anticipated due
to RUB weakness in Q3; the total impact is now seen at EUR 165mn. However costs savings in
other areas and especially in resin should balance the impact. For 2016 they expect slightly
higher input costs and mild inflation in Europe, which will allow some pricing realization. Q4
is expected to be weak given the 4 less trading days, which will balance the 4 extra days of
1Q 2015. Going forward we expect an improved performance in 2016 although Q1 could be
hit by higher than expected FX losses due to the significant pressure on certain EM currencies
and mainly the RUB.
Valuation/estimates: We have a target price of EUR 17.0/share and an Underperform rating
on the stock. CCHBC currently trades at a c6% premium over peers on a P/E 16e basis. In
2016, we expect the group to continue growing its volumes in the low single digits, while
pricing could be positive after three years of negative pricing.
Valuation triggers: macro improvement in key markets like Russia and Italy, sustained low
levels of input costs, demand recovers faster than expected, higher than expected pricing, FX
improvement (mainly RUB), capex lower than anticipated.
Downside risks: spikes in commodity prices, further slowdown in key markets, further
weakening of key currencies.
Company description: CCHBC is an anchor bottler of the Coke system, operating in 28
countries, selling 2bn cases annually through 136 brands and employing 36,362 employees.
The company has its primary listing in LSE (FTSE100 constituent) and a second listing in the

Buy on weakness
Q3 15 results review Folli Follie Group announced a rather mixed set of 3Q15 results that stood above our
estimates in terms of top line and below in terms of EBITDA & bottom line. Sales came in at EUR 281.2mn
increased by 14.8%, beating our estimate by 1.5%. For the 9M15 period sales stood at EUR 875.5mn up by 20.9%.
EBITDA stood at EUR 47mn increased by 4.6%, missing our estimate by 8%. The miss to our estimate is attributed
to a significant erosion of the EBITDA margin in the JWA division that came in at 20.4% vs. our estimate of 23.7%
due to the payment of rents amounting to c. EUR 5mn as guarantee for large POS that opened their gates at Japan
and Hong Kong. Net Profit for the period stood at EUR 31mn missing our estimate by 1.7%, due to lower operating
profitability and a higher than expected effective tax rate that came in at 29.8%; this was partly offset by positive
financials. The Group recorded a Net Debt position of EUR 123mn vs. EUR 54mn at the end of 2014 and EUR 32mn
in 3Q14 mainly due to increased Capex needs that stood at EUR 29.77mn vs. EUR 13.46mn the year ago period.
Management guided for increased Capex that will stand at EUR 60mn for the FY period that in our view will take a
toll on Group’s weak FCF generation and EUR 50-55mn going onwards that will be invested on the new concepts
of Folli & Links, as well as on infrastructure, IT systems, R&D etc. On the FCF front the Group recorded OFCF of -
EUR 3.4mn vs. cash flow of EUR 20.5mn the year ago period since increased W/C requirement were offset by the
positive effect of FX differences amounting to EUR 70mn. Management guided for a double digit growth in the top
& bottom line, while no guidance was provided in terms of operating profitability and FCF generation.
Valuation Following the announcement of a mixed set of 3Q15 results and the elevated concerns on China’s GDP
growth rate over the coming years, we reduce our EBITDA estimates going forward by c. 8.5% on average due to
the increased participation of the wholesale channel in Chinese sales. As a result, we reduce our target price from
EUR 28.7 to EUR 22.4/share. The recent stock weakness leaves a significant upside potential from our TP, currently
standing at 73.5%, thus creating a buying opportunity. Outperform rating maintained. At current levels the shares
change hands at a 2017E P/E of 4.9x and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 3.8x, with an implied discount of 51.2% over
Group’s 10-year historical average of 7.7x.
Valuation triggers Gaining significant market share through increased Folli Follie and Links of London brands
awareness in Asia; Further consolidation of the Greek market in favour of department stores and malls; Expansion
of operations in new regions- US penetration with Folli Follie and Links brands; Opportunities within the Dufry
network; Distribution agreements with more brands in Greece and SEE; Expansion of the Collective retail concept
in Greece, Bulgaria and Romania.
Downside risks Weak FCF generation and high WC needs; Dependency on consumer spending levels; Deceleration
of growth in Chinese economy could seriously affect the growth prospects of the Group; Potential delays in the
new POS/ Department stores rollout; Margin pressure from the increasing wholesale contribution
Company description Folli Follie is a diversified retail Group that operates in four different segments; Jewellery,
Watches & Accessories (70.6% of total sales in 2014), Department Stores (15.4% of total sales in 2014) and
Retail/Wholesale (14% of total sales in 2014). At the end of 9M15, it operated 999 POS in 28 countries with a focus
on Greater China. Other important markets for the Group are the United Kingdom, North America, Japan, Greece,
Bulgaria and Romania. At the end of 3Q15, Folli Follie Group operated in total 686 POS of FF brand and 124 POS
for Links of London.

Strong set of 3Q15 results on the back of market share gains and decreased marketing expenses for
IKEA
Q3 15 results Fourlis announced a strong set of results well-above our estimates due to the strong performance of IKEA during
3Q15. On a Group levels Fourlis reported sales of EUR 112.6mn, decreased by 3.5%, beating our estimate by 5.1%. EBITDA
came in at EUR 11.3mn, up 42.7%, well above our estimate of EUR 8mn, mainly due to strong performance of the flagship IKEA.
Net Profit for the period reached EUR 2.9mn, vs. our estimate for EUR 0.02mn. Flagship IKEA reported a strong 3Q15, with
sales shaping at EUR 76.6mn, flat y-o-y, beating our estimate by 5.4%; EBITDA stood at EUR 8.6mn, well above our estimate of
EUR 6.4mn; the beat to our estimate is attributed to better top line and significant savings on the distribution expenses that
accounted for 28% of sales vs. 31.3% the year ago period. These savings came from the freeze of marketing spending, while
savings of c. EUR 2mn were recorded from the reduction of the catalogues distributed by 50%, as well as from the distribution
of half sized catalogues. Management commented that it plans to return to its normal catalogue policy in 2016, thus leading to
tough comps for the current FY. Intersport reported sales of EUR 34.7mn, 3.7% above our estimate, while EBITDA for the
period came in at EUR 3mn vs. our estimate for EUR 2.5mn. The beat to our estimate is attributed to a better than expected
gross profit margin and a better top line. Net Debt for the period stood at EUR 141.6mn, vs. EUR 135mn at the end of 2014,
mainly due to Capex spending amounting to EUR 11.6mn
Valuation We proceed with small changes in our P&L estimates and we slightly raise our Capex estimates . We remind that c.
65% of Group’s sales is derived from Greece. We value Fourlis by employing a combination of a 10-year Discounting Cash Flow
model (50% weight) and a multiples based valuation on a targeted 2017 EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.5x (50% weight), below
Group’s historical average during the crisis of 9.6x (since 2008). Our DCF model generates a target price of EUR 3.85/share,
while our multiples based method generates a target price of EUR 3.84/share. The average of the two methods target price
stands at EUR 3.85/share that implies an upside potential of 50.3% from current levels. We thus maintain our Outperform
rating.
Valuation triggers Signs of improved performance for IKEA (rising sales and improving margins), Intersport/Athete Foot, as
well as the introduction of new IKEA outlets (none included in our new set of forecasts) would justify earnings upgrades and
higher valuation for the group, in our view. New business ventures and/or licensing agreements could be a major catalyst for
the stock going forward.
Downside risks Increased competition in both IKEA’s and Intersport’s markets; a deterioration of same store IKEA sales due to
the austerity measures in Greece and recession; lower operating margins for IKEA; tax charges on previous fiscal years;
additional windfall taxes; additional VAT hikes; working capital overshooting; a prolonged (let alone harsher) recession in
Greece and/or Cyprus; additional austerity measures that put pressure on disposable income and spending
Company description Fourlis is a leading retailer in the home furniture sector through the IKEA brand name and is the
exclusive marketer of IKEA-branded products in Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria through the current seven stores (five in Greece,
one in Cyprus and one in Bulgaria) and the six pick-up points. The Company also operates 107 outlets for athletic products
under the Intersport brand name in Greece, Cyprus, Romania Turkey and Bulgaria. In addition, the Group has recently acquired
franchise rights for the operation of Athlete’s Foot retail concept in Greece and Turkey with four (4) pilot openings during
2015.

3Q 2015 results: Frigoglass reported sales of EUR 66.1mn (+26.5%) with marginally positive
EBITDA at EUR 0.2mn vs losses of EUR 1.6mn in 3Q 2014. The net losses widened to EUR
16.6mn from EUR 10.9mn last year and worse than our EUR 6.9mn estimate, on the back of
(Russian Ruble and SA Rand) associated FX losses. The top line was much better than our
estimates, however margins were lower, while the cEUR 5.0 FX losses were also above our
estimates. Another highlight of the weak quarter was the increase in net debt to EUR 301mn
(+11.1%) and the negative equity (for the first time).
Outlook: The management guided for a deterioration in Q4’s market conditions in Russia,
which will more than offset the sales growth achieved in 9M. It seems that Russia will remain
in doldrums for the next few quarters and its weight is such that the whole Eastern European
segment will struggle. On the other hand we could see Western Europe performing better
although the growth should come from Asia and Africa, where margins are thinner. The
company has not concluded yet the sale of the glass business, which is now expected to be
sealed in 1Q 2016 (initial target the 4Q 2015), which is not supportive of sentiment.
Valuation/estimates: We expect Frigoglass to remain in the red in 2016 due to weak
demand in Europe, which is the market where Frigoglass is mainly making its money. We
have set an end-2016 target price of EUR 2.40/share; despite the significant upside, we
remain on the sidelines, as we have not seen signs of a sustainable recovery, while we will
need to see the plans of the management, post the glass sale to be more firm on the case.
Valuation triggers: increased consume confidence in Europe, which leads to increased capex
by bottlers and brewers, further drop in input costs, stabilization or strengthening of EM
currencies like RUB, hefty payout due to the sale of glass sometime in the next quarters.
Downside risks: further macro deterioration in Europe and in other key markets, increase in
input costs, failure to close the glass sale.
Company description: Frigoglass is the global leader in Ice Cold Merchandisers. Its main client
is the Coke system and a number of other blue chip players, especially in the brewing sector.
The group has operations in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Recently the
group launched the Frigoglass Service Operation, which operates across 4 continents in 13
locations delivering value added service solutions.

Hellenic Telecoms (OTEr.AT) | Resilient business model
Q3 ’15 results: OTE reported net revenues of Eur971.5 mn (-1.7% yoy), affected by weak Romtelecom; recurring
EBITDA of Eur350.1 mn (-5.7% yoy) impacted by the absence of one-offs and increased distribution costs in
Romania; and net profit of Eur78.3 mn (+13.3% yoy). The domestic fixed-line revenues were up 0.2% yoy thanks
to a) the slowdown in line losses which led to the stabilization of retail revenues and b) increased take-up of
broadband and TV services which led to a rise in wholesale revenues by 4.4% yoy. EBITDA margin rose to 41.7%
from 40.1% in Q3 ’14. The Greek mobile reported service revenue decline of 3.3% yoy and EBITDA margin
contraction of 100 bps yoy to 39.6%, on the weak economic environment in Greece. Telecom Romania reported
EBITDA decline of 31.7% yoy due to the 46% yoy decline of real estate and copper sales. Romania mobile
reported a decline in service revenues of 2.7% yoy and EBITDA margin of 24.4%, down 150 bps yoy on high
distribution costs. OTE reported FCF of Eur93 mn (-27% yoy), impacted by liquidity restrictions in the economy.
At end-Sept 2015, OTE had net debt of Eur1.09 bn or c0.8x EBITDA and cash balance of Eur1.05 bn.
Outlook: The positive fixed-line trends should be further supported by the slow-down in line losses, improving
competitive environment and growing broadband and pay-TV subscriber numbers. EBITDA should be supported
by the top line improvement and cost cutting. At end-June ‘15, OTE completed a VES for more than 600 people
expected to yield Eur30 mn of annual savings. We would expect the decline in mobile revenues to continue due
to lower consumer spending. The bank holiday and the capital controls initially led to a deterioration in the
working capital, which has started normalizing. At Q3 ‘15 results CC, management said that recurring FCF should
end up close to the initial target of Eur0.5 bn, partly subject to the clearing of accruals by state entities (the
Greek state accounts for 5%-10% of fixed-line revenues). Management also reiterated capex target of Eur0.5 bn,
with room to postpone or scale down projects.
Valuation: Our DCF-based SoTPs model provides a TP of Eur10.2 as of end-2016, which values the group at 4.3x
2016E EBITDA. We have used a rf of 8.0% for the Greek operations. In terms of valuation sensitivity to the rf, for
every 1% change in the rf, TP changes by c7.0%. We raise OTE to Outperform (from Neutral) on improved
risk/reward.
Valuation triggers: Key drivers of the domestic telecom market are rising broadband and pay-TV penetration,
regulatory stabilization and consolidation activity. The aforementioned benefits should be accentuated by the
recovery of the economy.
Downside risks: OTE derives 75% of its revenues and 80% of its EBITDA in Greece. Weak consumer, govt and
corporate spending should affect revenues, EBITDA and cash flows. OTE is also subject to regulatory risks.
Company description OTE has fixed-line market share of c57% with 2.7 mn retail access lines, broadband market
share of c44% with 1.46 mn broadband retail subscribers and 414k TV subscribers. It owns 54% of Telecom
Romania (2.16 m voice lines, 1.2 mn broadband subscribers, 1.4 mn TV subscribers) with the remaining being
held by the Romanian govt. It has mobile operations in Greece (Cosmote has c50% market share with 7.4 mn
subscribers); in Romania (Telecom Romania Mobile has a market share of c23% and 5.76 mn subscribers); and in
Albania (Telecom Albania has 2.0 mn subscribers). Shareholders are DT (40%) and the Greek state (10%). DT has
a right of first refusal on the Greek state’s stake.

Recession Proof……..
6M Sales pre-announcement Jumbo announced that 6M15/16 sales came in at EUR 371.7mn, increased by 8.97%
posting strong performance across all geographical segments. Sales preannouncement implies strong performance
during the 2Q15/16 period, with sales shaping at EUR 219.1mn, up 12%. Strong growth momentum is mainly
attributed to ‘’increased productivity’’ in Greek operations that posted increased sales by 3% during the 6M period;
2Q performance is even more impressive for Greek operations with the implied sales growth standing at 6.6% or
EUR 152.4mn. Management commented that 6M sales in Cyprus and Bulgaria stood in line with initial
expectations, while sales in Romania doubled. During the current FY, Group’s restructuring plan includes the
closure of two small, first generation stores, which in the future will be replaced by new hyper stores in areas
where the Group is not present yet.
Raised Guidance The impressive performance during the 1H/2Q period is mainly attributed to the strong
performance of the Greek operations that exceeded all expectations – it is clear that this is attributed to market
share gains related to the value for money concept adopted by the Group, while it seems that the capital controls
imposed by the Greek government led to reduced competition in the Greek market. Following the positive 6M
sales pre-announcement, the management raised its guidance for the FY 2015/16 period and now expects
increased sales in the range of 6-8% vs. the previous estimate that called for increased sales in the range of 0-4%.
Valuation We raise our estimates to incorporate Group’s strong performance during the 6M period. We stand in
line with Company’s guidance for FY 2015/16 and we now project sales of EUR 627.75mn, up 7.8% y-o-y, EBITDA of
EUR 169.3mn, increased 6.3% and Net Profit of EUR 111.7mn up 6.5%. We raise our target price to EUR 11.8/share
from EUR 11.2/share, before, with an implied upside potential of 21% from current levels, thus reiterating an
Outperform rating. Our DCF-P/E derived target price reflects a targeted P/E of 13.6x the Group's FY 2016/17
projected earnings, slightly above Group’s pre-crisis historical average of 13.1x. We are modeling Sales, EBITDA and
NI CAGRs of 7.1%, 6.0% and 6.4%, respectively, during the 2015/16-2017/18 period. We proceed with an upgrade
of our estimates to incorporate the strong top line performance during the 6M period; on the gross profit margin
front, we are modeling gross profit margin contraction of 28bps for the current FY. We expect the EBITDA margin
to stabilize at around 27% benefited from increased operating efficiency. We are now modeling an effective tax
rate of 24.7%.
Valuation triggers Apart from lower bond yields (ie lower sovereign risks), faster or more rollouts and higher-than-
expected same-store sales (on improved customer visits and/or higher spending per customer) are the two main
factors that could place upside risk on our estimates.
Downside risks Medium term, the investment case depends on domestic private consumption, the timing of new
store rollouts, and the pace of expansion in Romania. Additional taxation of any form would hurt earnings and
valuation. Jumbo’s management has cautioned investors over the impact from VAT hikes, COGS inflation, higher
freights and a weaker Euro vis-à-vis the USD on the group’s gross profit margin. We also highlight risks associated
with overdependence on Chairman Vakakis and the remote event of important injury from a non-branded product
malfunction.
Company description Jumbo is the largest retailer and wholesaler of toys, infant products, books & stationery and
seasonal, home & mother opportunity products in Greece. It enjoys a 40% share in the domestic market. The
Company’s distribution network at the end of 2016 will accounted for 73 retail stores, 53 in Greece, 5 in Cyprus, 8
in Bulgaria and 7 in Romania with a net sales surface of c. 412,103m2.

3Q 2015 results: MOH reported adjusted EBITDA of EUR 172.7mn (+53%), while EPS stood at EUR 0.71
up from EUR 0.48 in 3Q 2014 and above our EUR 0.70 estimate. However excluding a one-off tax that
was not in our estimates, the EPS was EUR 0.82. The Q3 inventory losses stood at EUR 61mn, broadly in
line with expectations. MOH reported a clean refining margin of USD 75.4/mt in Q3, 12% higher YoY,
somewhat below our estimate of USD 76.4/mt. The OpCF post capex stood at EUR 153.5mn in Q3 (vs.
EUR 44mn in 3Q2014) and EUR 200mn in 9M 15 vs. EUR 71mn last year driven by good WC
management.
Outlook: Benchmark margins remained strong in Q3 and Q4 and should remain at elevated levels in the
short term, due to consistently low crude levels and the favourable EURUSD rate. Motor Oil is hedged
against Greek weakness by generating c69% of its sales through exports.
Valuation/Estimates: On our Q3 review report (23 Nov.2016) we raised our 2016 estimates by c13% in
the operating line and 18% in the bottom line, as we assume lower Brent price and stronger USD
compared to our previous estimates. Valuation-wise, we rolled over our model to get an end-2016
target price; our exercise now returns a target price of EUR 14.0/share from EUR 12.0 previously. MOH
currently trades at a 47% and 62% discount in EV/EBITDA 16-17e respectively vs its peers.
Valuation triggers: Further improvement in benchmark margins, further strengthening of the USD vs
the EUR, macro normalization in Greece and lower oil prices could stimulate domestic demand, which
could increase the contribution of domestic sales, which command higher margins compared to
exports.
Downside risks: Domestic macro deterioration, a spike in political risk which could jeopardize the
recovery, deterioration of benchmark margins.
