Executive Summary
We initiate coverage on ENGRO, with a 5 starNext Capital ranking. The stock offers a 113%upside to our target price of PKR 256.
ENGROs share price has fallen by 42% since itsMarch 2011 high of PKR 206. Investors arespooked about the impact that gas load-sheddingon the new plant would have on earnings anddebt servicing capabilities.
Given the uncertainty about gas load-shedding,we have built two scenarios; a base case and abad case.
Our calculations indicate that the recent investorpessimism over the gas load-shedding issue hasbeen over-done. We estimate that even if gasload shedding continues at a high level (the badcase scenario), ENGRO offers an 81% upside toinvestors.

In terms of debt servicing, ENGROs EBITDA todebt servicing remains above 1 during ourforecast period, which indicates that theirleverage will remain manageable.
The issue of gas load-shedding can and should beresolved. Pakistan enjoys a competitiveadvantage in producing urea, and diverting gasfrom power to fertilizer will be beneficial.
In addition, ENGRO has a water-tight gas supplyagreement with sovereign guarantees in place.Flouting such an agreement for any length of timewould send a very adverse signal to potentialinvestors in the country.
Fertilizer remains the biggest component ofENGROs value, contributing 69% to the targetprice. EPS contribution of fertilizer is projected tobe PKR 13.6 and PKR 15.6 in FY11 and FY12respectively.
Engro Foods (EFOODS) is an evolving successstory. Based on a conservative valuation, EFOODScontributes 14% to ENGROs target price. Themain source of revenue and profits is expected tobe the dairy segment.
Value of other businesses (Eximp, PowerGen,Vopak, and Polymer) contributes 17% to ENGROstarget price.
ENGRO is one of the biggest success stories ofcorporate Pakistan. Its share price, having come
of dramatically over the last few months,provides an attractive investment opportunity.

ENGROs Fate: The Throne or the
Gallows?
In a speech delivered in 2009, Asad Umar ended by
quoting a famous verse. There are only two
destinations for freedom-loving people. Eitherthe throne or the gallows. Those words seemprescient; the investment community today cannotseem to determine the fate of the company hemanages. But depending on who you speak to, itseither the throne or the gallows!
Since April 2011, ENGROs share price has taken asevere hammering, having fallen by more than 40%and significantly underperforming the market and
peers. The share price decline owes largely to investorconcerns about the frequent gas shutdowns that arehampering production from ENGROs new fertilizerplant. Investors are concerned about two issues;earnings and debt servicing capabilities.
Amidst the doom and gloom, it is easy to loseperspective. ENGRO remains one of the biggestsuccess stories of corporate Pakistan, and is likely tobecome the countrys pre-eminent multi-national in theyears to come. In ambition, strategy and execution,ENGRO has no equal in corporate Pakistan. Most of itsbusinesses, including fertilizers, foods, and powerhave strong underlying business economics based onthe needs of the Pakistani economy.
The perceived chink in its armor from an investorsperspective is the high amount of leverage it carries,which makes it susceptible to exogenous shocks likethe current unplanned gas load-shedding. FromENGROs perspective, the high level of debt isjustifiable because they are operating in stablebusinesses with strong cash flows.
To put the leveraging in perspective, ENGROs decisionto undertake the urea expansion was based on keyassumptions like availability of gas through a watertight sovereign guarantee agreement, incentivized gasrates as prescribed in the 2001 Fertilizer Policy, andfavorable demand-supply dynamics. These factors ledthe company to take the aggressive route offinancing this investment with a Debt-Equity Ratio of75:25.
Although the fate of ENGROs share price in the short-term is hard to determine, investors with a medium tolong-term horizon have the opportunity to buy a sliceof Pakistans best-run company at a marked downprice. Before delving into the numbers and targetprices debate, our advice is simple; Carpe Diem (seize
the day).
Strong Upside Even if Gas Load-
Shedding Persist
We initiate coverage on ENGRO Corporation
(ENGRO) with a 5 star ranking. The stock offers a
113% upside to our December 2011 target priceof PKR 256.
A Sum-Of-The-Parts (SOTP) valuation has been usedfor ENGRO, which we believe is appropriate given itsconglomerate structure. The primary value drivers arethe fertilizer, food, trading and power operations. Wehave applied a 20% conglomerate discount to theSOTP value of the group.

With uncertainty regarding the gas issue persisting,we have built two scenarios; a base case and a badcase for gas load-shedding.
The Base Case Scenario- Assumptions
1. Gas load-shedding at Engros new plant to becontained to 75 days per year, with a gas factor
of 80%
2. Urea margins (on existing plant) to be maintainedat 60% levels. This translates into a urea price of
PKR 1,037 per bag (ex-GST) in FY12.
The Bad Case Scenario- Assumptions
1. Gas load-shedding at Engros new plant at 50%(180 days) per year with a gas factor of 80%.
2. Urea margins to be maintained at current levelsto compensate for lost production. This translates
into a urea price of PKR 1,121 per bag (ex-GST)in FY12.
Our analysis indicates that the pessimism surrounding
ENGRO has been overdone, with regards to bothearnings and debt servicing. The target price in thecase of the base case and the bad case offer an

upside of 113% and 76% respectively. The basecase target price is PKR 256 and the bad case
target price is PKR 211 per share.
Earnings Decline to be
Cushioned by Higher Prices
Earnings forecasts for the base case and the badcase are shown in Table 3. Based on FY12 projected
EPS, ENGRO is currently trading at a PE of just
above 5x using the base case and 4x using the
bad case. Although fertilizer earnings are adverselyimpacted by the lost production in the bad casescenario, the impact is cushioned through increasedurea prices. Local urea producers continue to enjoy
pricing power as international urea prices are currently104% higher than local prices. ENGRO hasdemonstrated that pricing power in recent months byraising urea prices significantly in response toexcessive gas load-shedding.

Debt Servicing: Walking a Tight
Rope but Manageable
One of the major concerns spooking investors at themoment is the high level of debt that Engro carries.ENGRO has PKR 18 bn and PKR 17 bn of debt servicingin FY12 and FY13 respectively (including principal andinterest repayments).
Whilst those numbers sound scary, we believe itappropriate to approximate debt servicing capacitywith EBITDA. And as Figure 3 highlights, ENGROsEBITDA to Debt Servicing remain above 1, even in thebad case scenario. Therefore, we are confident thateven if gas outages continue at current levels, ENGROwill manage to service its debt obligations in thecoming years.
A couple of qualitative factors regarding the issue ofleverage are worth bearing in mind. Firstly, ENGRO hasthe ability to raise additional funding through the
balance sheets of ENGRO Corporation and othersubsidiaries, which it is currently doing through theRupiya certificates.

Secondly, we have included principal repayments indebt servicing calculations. However, as has been the
case in many corporate restructurings recently, banksare more than willing to roll-over/extend maturities aslong as interest payments are being made. If pushcomes to shove, debt restructuring can be done withthe banks.
Thus, whilst ENGRO will be walking a tight rope inmanaging its debt servicing obligations over the nextcouple of years if gas shortages persist, the companyhas options at its disposal to manage its liquidityrequirements.
Gas Issue Can and Should BeResolved
Although ENGRO can ride out the storm, resolution ofthe gas curtailment issue is important from theperspective of the overall economy. The country isfacing a gas shortage of around 20-25%, but theSNGPL network faces an even higher shortage of up to40%. Gas load shedding in the fertilizer sector startedin April 2010 when the government decided to divertgas supplies to power plants in order to reduceelectricity load shedding.
The fertilizer plants on the SNGP network, includingENGROs new plant, Dawood Hercules, Pak Arab andPak American are bearing the brunt of the gas load-shedding, with production hampered significantly.

With competing uses for gas, the gas allocation shouldnot be done through a random nows-your-turnpolicy, but on the basis of economic value. Currently,the fertilizer sector offers a higher economic value forgas consumed in comparison to the power sector.

In Table 4 below, we calculate that the overallsavings of allocating 100 mmfcd of gas from the
power to the fertilizer sector is PKR 8.2 bn. Whilst
the additional cost of importing 1.3 mn tons of urea ascompared to local production is PKR 39.7bn, theadditional cost of importing High Speed Furnace Oil(HSFO) for power generation as compared to gasbased power generation is PKR 31.4 bn. This amountsto a saving of PKR 8.2 bn if 100mmcf is allocated toproducing urea instead of power. We believe that thegovernment will eventually prioritize gas to thefertilizer sector, because Pakistan has a competitiveadvantage in producing urea.
Fertilizer Value Hinges on Gas
Supply
Despite diversifying into other businesses, fertilizercontinues to be the mainstay of ENGROs earnings andvaluation.
Our base case fertilizer valuation for ENGRO is
PKR 222 per share, based on plant load shedding of75 days per year and a gas factor of 80%. In thisscenario, fertilizers contribution to ENGROs target
price is 69%. The bad case fertilizer valuation isPKR 166 per share, based on 180 days of gas load-
shedding per year, and a gas factor of 80%. Whilst wehave used the base case value to determine ourtarget price, investors who are more conservativeabout gas supply can use the bad case valuation asthe benchmark.

EPS projections for the fertilizer business are shown inFigure 5. Fertilizer earnings are lower in the badcase scenario because we believe that ENGROs
pricing power in the urea market has limits. Ureaprices at substantially higher (than current levels) arelikely to begin destructing demand. Therefore,earnings are reduced in the bad case scenario ascompared to the base case scenario.

Story
EFOODS is an evolving success story. Having mademajor inroads in the dairy and ice-cream segmentswithin its first few years of operations, EFOODS plans
an aggressive PKR 41 bn capex in the next five yearsto invest in existing and new businesses.
In its initial phase, the company has rightly focused onbuilding brands and capturing market share. However,since 2010, EFOODS bottom-line has turned green, andwe expect the companys contribution to ENGROsearnings to increase in the coming years.

Ambitious Long Term Strategy Multiple
Frontiers in Sight
EFOODS has enjoyed unprecedented early success,and the future looks even brighter as the companylooks to expand both geographically and product-wise.
Dairy Segment existing business: The companyhas planned a massive PKR 12 bn capex in itsexisting dairy segment during the next five years
(2011-2015). We expect that bulk of this expenditurewould be incurred to enhance production capacities ofUHT milk processing, powdered milk, juices andnectars and brand development of juices and nectarsand powdered tea whitener.
Dairy Segment new business: In order tocomplete its coverage of the dairy spectrum, thecompany is planning to extend its reach to the mostlucrative powdered milk sub-segments of infantnutrition and Growing Up Milk Powder (GUMP) wherecurrently Nestle Pakistan dominates the market. Inaddition, the company also plans to enter the chilled
dairy niche (e.g. fruit yogurt) where currently NestlePakistan controls the majority of the market. The capex
earmarked for these projects is PKR 10 bn during thenext five years.
Ice cream Segment: The company plans to incur acapex of PKR 4 bn in its ice cream segment duringthe next five years with major emphasis onconsolidating its position as the no. 2 player, branddevelopment and extension of outreach to all majorcities of Pakistan.
Rice Segment: Perceiving substantial opportunities in
this segment, Foods has planned a massive PKR 14 bncapex for this segment during the next five yearswhich would mainly be directed to the expansion ofprocessing and storage capacity of the plant alongwith other civil works. We expect that this capexwould result in a multi-fold increase in the rice plantsprocessing capacity from the existing 28 k tons to 158k tons by 2015.

average ROEs over the last decade of 62%. Salesand PAT have grown have a 10 year CAGR of 20%
and 27% respectively. Apart from the strong growth,
worth highlighting is the stability in Nestle Pakistansoperating profit margin, as can be seen in Table 8. Thisindicates that business economics of the marketleader in the dairy segment are very attractive.

We are confident that EFOODs will also enjoy highROEs in its dairy business as it matures. It has alreadybecome the market leader in UHT milk (current marketshare of 40%+), and plans to follow Nestle in the fullrange of dairy products.
Table 9 shows revenue and profit forecasts for thedairy segment of EFOODS. Over the next four years(FY11-FY15), revenue and PAT are projected to grow ata CAGR of 29% and 43% respectively.

Ice cream segment More of a Mixed Bag
In the ice-cream segment, ULEVERs Walls is theclosest benchmark to EFOODS. However, the historicalprofitability of Walls is not as impressive as that of thedairy segment of Nestle. As shown in table 10, Wallsoperating margins are neither as stable nor as high asNestles.

EFOODS, however, appears quite sanguine about theprospects of the ice-cream business, which is evidentby their focus on developing the Omore brand and the
expansive capex plans. Since launch in 2009, Omorehas already captured a 17% market share.
However, we have been conservative in our revenueand earnings projections for EFOODS ice-creamsegment, considering that the overall market size is
currently not that large, and margins are alsomoderate.
Table 11 shows our revenue and profit forecasts forthe ice-cream segment. Revenues are expected togrow through the next few years, although profitabilityis expected from 2013.

Rice segment expansion mantra all the way
The rice segment of Foods is managed by ENGROFoods Supply Chain (Pvt) Limited (EFSL), a subsidiary ofFoods, which was created as a specialized supplychain company to focus on one of the most criticalelements of the overall value chain. EFSL has set up arice processing plant in Muridke with an initial riceprocessing capacity of 28 k tons. The processed ricefrom the plant is being sold (at market prices) to
ENGRO Eximp for export to premium customers inregional markets and beyond.
Pakistan currently lies at the heart of world riceconsumption with two of the worlds top three riceimporters i.e. Philippines and Iran situated inproximity. The company is focused on Basmati rice andtargets high-value commercial customers in the region.In 2010, the first order of 5,000 tons was dispatched tocustomers in Middle East.
With its competitive advantage in terms of strategiclocation and economies of scale in terms of logistics,
we foresee the rice segment to make bettercontributions towards Foods overall profitability incomparison to the ice cream segment despite muchlower sales. With exception of a loss in 2011 and2012, we expect increasingly positive bottomline forthe rice segment during the next five years.

Eximp Leveraging the
Expertise
As a wholly owned subsidiary of ENGRO, Eximpimports and sells fertilizers such as DAP, MAP, MOP,SOP and micro-nutrients like Zinc Sulphate. Inaddition, Eximp has also established a fast growingrice trading business. The company will procurefinished rice from EFSL and export it to premiumbusiness-to-business customers all over the world.
According to the internal arrangements, Eximp used tosell its fertilizer imports (upon arrival) to EngroFertilizer at prevailing local prices which kept Eximpimmune to any unfavorable price movements in the
domestic fertilizer market. During the last three years,Eximps EPS has averaged PKR 4.6 (based on ENGROsshares) with an average dividend payout of 88%.

As the largest importers of phosphates in Pakistanwith a demand-supply gap in excess of 50%, thefuture of Eximp is largely tied to the performance of itsDAP business. After group restructuring, Eximpsimmunity to unfavorable local price movements hasdiminished because of removal of the importedfertilizer business from Engro Fertilizers ambit. Thus,
Eximp will bear price risk in the future.
For the rice segment, after a negligible level of sales in2010, the rice segment of Eximp is expected toincrease sales in 2011 and would gain sizeabletraction during next five years.
We have assumed trading margins of 7% for Eximp,which are significantly lower than what they earned inthe last 3 years. However, we have been conservativedue to the change in ENGROs internal pricingstructure and the addition of the rice business, wheremargins are less certain at the moment.

Powergen Stable Cash Flows
Coupled with Efficiency Gains
ENGRO Powergen (EPL) is a 95% owned subsidiary ofENGRO and has set up a 220 MW gas fired powerplant near Qadirpur. The power plant utilizes low basepermeate gas from Qadirpur gas field which waspreviously not being utilized.
Like other Independent Power Projects commissionedunder the 2002 Power Policy, the 25-year tariffstructure of the project implies a guaranteed US$equity return of 15% above all costs of generation(including debt servicing). The plant achieved its CODat the end of March 2010 and has been successfullyoperating since with near maximum operationalavailability.
Like other new IPPs, ENGRO Power Gen earnings arebeing significantly boasted by efficiency gains/lowerO&M charges. We forecast that these gains willcontinue to augment the bottom-line for the next threeyears, albeit at lower levels.

The uncertainty on the performance of the integratedoperations still exists and only a demonstratedperformance for an extended period of time and itstranslation into profits would revive the investorsconfidence in the company. Considering this
uncertainty, we have valued Polymer at its current market price which gives a contribution of PKR 7per share to ENGROs SOTP based value .

Next Capitals Star Ranking Methodology:
Next Capital assigns a star ranking to stocks under coverage. Rankings range from a maximum of 5 star to a minimum of 1 star, based upon theupside potential that a stock offers. Ranking changes can occur due to price movement, or a change in the target price.
5 starTarget price offers > 25% upside4 starTarget price offers > 15% and < 25% upside3 starTarget price offers > 0% and 0% and < 15% downside1 starTarget price offers > 15% downside
The primary advantage of the star ranking is that it allows our clients to ascertain our batting average in equity research. Often, sell side researchanalysts trumpet their successful ideas, and fail to mention their failures. Using the star rankings, our research team will be held accountable forall calls made, good and bad. With ranking updates provided on a regular basis, our clients will have an objective framework through which theycan determine the calls we got right, and how many we didnt. An added advantage of the star rankings is that a change in ranking due to asignificant move in price (without any change in the underlying fundamentals), will help our clients make considered buy and sell decisions.
