Mena - 2 Tuesday Morning Round - Up: Egypt

EuroMoney is conducting a Middle East research and best managed companies survey until 24 June 2011. Voters can support EFG Hermes by visiting the provided website. Elsewedy Electric reported preliminary net profit of EGP171 million in 1Q2011, down 32% year-over-year due to production and transportation disruptions in Egypt affecting local and export sales. Telecom Egypt is seeking to lower domestic long distance call rates to EGP0.03 per minute, which analysts view as an aggressive cut that could negatively impact Telecom Egypt's revenues.

Elsewedy  Electric  reports  preliminary  net  profit  of  EGP171  million  in  1Q2011  
Elsewedy  Electric  (SWDY.CA)  released  preliminary  1Q2011  results,  with  a  net  profit  of  EGP171  million  (+76%  
Q-­‐o-­‐Q,  -­‐32%  Y-­‐o-­‐Y).  Excluding  an  FX  gain  of  cEGP12  million,  1Q2011  net  profit  was  24%  below  2010’s  average  
quarterly  normalised  net  profit  of  EGP210  million  (excluding  one-­‐offs/FX  gain  or  loss),  driven  by  production  
and  transportation  disruptions  that  affected  Egyptian  factories’  local  and  export  sales,  lowered  local  demand  in  
Egypt,  and  lead  to  losses  of  export  sales  to  Libya.  However,  normalised  net  profit  was  7%  above  our  estimate,  we  
believe  on  better  operational  performance.  Revenue  fell  4%  Q-­‐o-­‐Q  to  EGP3.5  billion.  Gross  profit  (costs  include  
depreciation)  declined  9%  Q-­‐o-­‐Q  to  EGP448  million  and  came  in  17%  above  our  estimate.  Financial  statements  
and  a  detailed  earnings  release  will  be  published  on  Thursday,  26  May  2011.  (Wafaa  Baddour)

TE  seeks  new  DLD  tariff  rebalancing  –  first  impression:  negative  
Telecom  Egypt  (TE)  [ETEL.CA]  has  put  forward  a  request  to  the  National  Telecommunications  Regulatory  
Authority  (NTRA)  demanding  the  unification  of  domestic  long  distance  (DLD)  and  local  calling  rates  at  
EGP0.03/minute,  Al  Masry  Al  Youm  newspaper  quoted  an  anonymous  source  at  the  NTRA  as  saying.  The  article  
cited  the  NTRA  source  as  saying  that  it  will  take  time  before  the  regulator  comes  back  with  a  reply  to  the  
request.  Additionally,  the  article  mentions  that  TE  is  considering  amendments  to  its  international  tariffs,  but  has  
not  decided  on  any  structures  yet.  
   
Our  view  –  negative  impact  on  TE  
The  requested  unified  tariff  of  EGP0.03/minute  is  the  same  as  the  current  local  tariff  (fixed-­‐to-­‐fixed),  but  much  
lower  than  the  DLD  rates  that  range  from  EGP0.08/minute  (implying  a  63%  cut)  to  EGP0.16/minute  (an  81%  
cut).  
   
We  view  the  reduction  as  aggressive,  coming  at  a  very  sensitive  time,  as  we  do  not  believe  that  the  current  
elasticity  equilibrium  will  act  positively  in  favour  of  revenue  growth.  We  do  not  believe  that  this  tariff  cut  will  
generate  enough  traffic  to  counter  the  tariff  decline,  and  we  think  that  the  end  result  will  be  more  pressure  on  
DLD  revenue,  which  constitutes  c4%  of  retail  revenue,  according  to  our  estimates.  The  company  does  not  
provide  the  DLD  line  of  revenue  separately;  it  is  included  in  the  voice  revenue  (retail),  and  based  on  previous  
conversations  with  TE’s  management,  we  assume  this  line  has  been  declining  aggressively  over  the  past  three  
years.  Management  highlighted  on  several  occasions  that  EGP0.03/minute  is  lower  than  the  actual  per-­‐minute  
cost  and  is  subsidised  by  revenue  generated  from  the  international  calling  segment.  We  believe  that  if/when  the  
DLD  rate  is  reduced  to  EGP0.03/minute,  there  will  be  a  negative  impact  on  the  EBITDA  margin.  The  impact  on  
total  revenue  should  not  be  large  since  DLD  contributes  less  than  3%  to  total  revenue.  
   
We  note  that,  thus  far,  this  piece  of  news  has  not  yet  been  announced  by  nor  commented  on  by  TE.  We  also  
believe  that  it  will  take  some  time  until  the  NTRA  makes  a  final  decision  regarding  a  tariff  rebalance,  especially  
in  light  of  the  current  instability  in  Egypt.  
   
We  keep  our  forecasts  and  Buy  rating  unchanged,  with  a  fair  value  (FV)  of  EGP19.50/share,  but  we  believe  that  
this  rebalance,  if  approved,  would  have  an  impact  on  our  numbers.  (Omar  Maher,  Marise  Ananian)

TE  to  reinstate  fee-­cancelling  promotion  until  the  end  of  July  2011  
Telecom  Egypt  (TE)  [ETEL.CA]  will  reinstate  a  previous  promotion  that  exempts  customers  from  paying  
administrative  and  installation  fees,  Al  Youm  Al  Sabe  reported,  adding  that  the  promotion  would  last  from  24  
May  2011  until  the  end  of  July  2011.  TE’s  acting  CEO,  Mohamed  Abdel  Rehim,  said  that  the  promotion  benefits  
all  residential  and  business  customers.  (Al  Youm  Al  Sabe)

Prosecutor  unfreezes  assets  of  13  businessmen  
Egypt’s  public  prosecutor  has  unfrozen  the  assets  of  13  businessmen  on  a  list  of  people  barred  from  trading  
because  of  graft  investigations  launched  after  the  fall  of  Hosni  Mubarak,  the  Cairo  Stock  Exchange  said  on  23  
May  2011.  The  businessmen  include  Safwan  Thabet,  Chairman  of  Juhayna  Food  Industries  Co  (JUFO.CA),  and  
Ahmed  Bahgat,  who  owns  two  satellite  television  channels  and  a  big  development  in  the  suburbs  of  Cairo.

Eastern  increases  prices  on  nine  brands  by  4-­11%  
Eastern  Company  (EC)  [EAST.CA]  has  announced  that  it  has  increased  the  prices  of  nine  cigarette  brands,  as  at  
23  May  2011,  in  a  disclosure  sent  to  the  stock  exchange.  The  price  increases  are  4-­‐11%  according  to  our  
calculations  based  on  the  prices  quoted  in  the  disclosure  document.  The  company  did  not  raise  prices  of  its  
cheapest,  most  highly  demanded  Cleopatra  Golden  brand,  maintaining  it  at  EGP4.25  per  pack.  The  price  
increases  are  part  of  Eastern’s  strategy  to  protect  its  margins  against  rising  input  prices  and  FX  pressures,  
according  to  Al  Masry  Al  Youm.  (Company  Disclosure,  Al  Masry  Al  Youm)

CBE  gives  the  green  light  for  mobile  money  transfer;  MCIT  plans  launch  before  July  2011  
The  Central  Bank  of  Egypt  (CBE)  has  approved  Mobile  Money  Transfer  (MMT)  in  Egypt,  and  the  Ministry  of  
Communications  and  Information  Technology  (MCIT)  plans  to  have  the  service  commercially  launched  before  
July  2011,  Al  Mal  reported,  adding  that  the  MCIT  has  decided  that  the  watchdog  will  be  the  National  
Telecommunications  Regulatory  Authority  (NTRA).  The  responsibilities  of  regulation  were  one  of  the  key  issues  
between  the  CBE  and  the  MCIT  that  had  delayed  the  activation  of  the  service.  
   
This  is  a  positive  development  for  mobile  operators  who  have  been  aggressively  demanding  the  launch  of  this  
service  for  the  past  two  years.  From  our  previous  conversations  with  operators’  management  teams  we  
understand  that  the  main  obstacle  for  launching  the  service  was  CBE  regulations.  We  believe  this  service  will  
help  operators  to  enhance  ARPUs,  which  should  provide  some  support  to  the  top  line  growth  that  is  declining,  
given  mobile  voice  maturity.  (Al  Mal,  Marise  Ananian,  Omar  Maher)  
   
No  suspension  of  construction  permits  in  Sixth  of  October  and  New  Cairo  
The  Chairmen  of  the  Sixth  of  October  City  Authority  and  New  Cairo  Authority  have  denied  news  reports  that  
new  construction  permits  in  Sixth  of  October  and  New  Cairo  would  be  suspended  on  an  expected  water  supply  
shortage,  Al  Mal  reported.  The  Chairman  of  the  Sixth  of  October  City  Authority,  Mohamed  Nabih,  added  that  
measures  have  been  taken  to  address  the  expected  water  supply  shortage,  such  as  expanding  the  capacity  of  one  
of  the  current  water  plants,  which  is  expected  to  be  completed  by  the  end  of  August  2011.  Nabih  added  that  the  
Sixth  of  October  City  Authority  has  not  stopped  the  issuance  of  new  construction  permits,  and  that  new  
construction  permits  issued  per  month  have  ranged  from  900  permits  to  1,200  permits.  (Al  Mal)  
   
Egypt  plans  USD1  billion  Eurobond  backed  by  US  “sovereign  guarantee”  
Egypt  plans  to  raise  USD1  billion  by  selling  Eurobonds  this  year  to  diversify  borrowing  and  finance  a  widening  
budget  deficit.  The  five-­‐year  bonds  will  be  backed  by  a  US  “sovereign  guarantee,”  Finance  Minister  Samir  
Radwan  said  on  23  May  2011.  “We  should  tap  the  market  quickly.  We  need  to  diversify  because  the  local  market  
is  squeezed.”  The  finance  ministry  has  not  hired  banks  to  manage  the  sale,  Radwan  said.  The  bonds  will  follow  
the  issuance  of  USD1.5  billion  in  Eurobonds  in  2010,  which  included  a  USD1  billion  in  10-­‐year  bonds  and  
USD500  million  in  debt  due  to  mature  in  2040.  
   
We  see  the  issuance  as  positive  in  diversifying  the  government’s  sources  of  borrowing,  especially  given  that  the  
US  guarantee  would  ensure  a  relatively  inexpensive  cost  of  the  issuance.  The  local  T-­‐bill  market  has  been  
squeezed,  as  foreigners  nearly  sold  all  their  holdings  of  local  T-­‐bills  and  the  government  rapidly  increased  its  
issuances  to  finance  a  widening  deficit,  leading  to  a  rise  in  yields  that  sometimes  prevented  the  government  
from  raising  needed  amounts.  (Bloomberg,  Mohamed  Abu  Basha)

Qatar  may  invest  USD10  billion  in  Egypt  to  create  jobs  and  boost  cooperation  between  the  two  countries,  Al

businessmen  and  corporate  executives  will  start  talks  with  Egyptian  officials  on  28  May  2011,  the  state-­‐run,

Al  Watany  Bank  of  Egypt’s  ((WATA.CA)  management,  the  Egyptian  subsidiary  of  National  Bank  of  Kuwait  (NBK)

EGP40  million,  which  will  be  recorded  on  the  bank’s  books  in  2Q2011.  (Bloomberg)  
   
Egyptian  nitrogen-­based  fertiliser  prices  double  on  distribution  difficulties  
Local  prices  for  nitrogen-­‐based  fertilisers  have  doubled  to  EGP3,000/tonne,  up  from  the  official  price  of  
EGP1,500/tonne,  al-­‐Alam  al-­‐Youm  reported,  which  raised  farmers’  cost  by  10%.  The  Head  of  Fertilisers  Branch  
in  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  Mohamed  Al-­‐Kheshen,  accused  the  Principal  Bank  for  Development  &  Agriculture  
Credit  (PBDAC)  of  not  providing  easy  access  to  fertilisers  for  farmers,  which  makes  them  prefer  to  buy  from  the  
black  market.  Egypt  currently  face  an  annual  shortage  of  300,000  tonnes  of  urea,  he  added,  which  cannot  be  
imported,  given  high  international  prices  (USD425/tonne),  and  which  should  be  covered  by  companies  in  the  
free  zone.  (Al-­‐Alam  al-­‐Youm)

Government  to  divest  half  its  stake  in  BCP  
Morocco  aims  to  raise  MAD5.3  billion  by  selling  a  stake  in  Banque  Central  Populaire  (BCP.CS)  at  a  time  when  a  
spending  spree  to  contain  street  protests  has  burdened  the  country’s  finances.  The  Finance  and  Economy  
Ministry  said  on  23  May  2011  that  the  sale  of  the  stake  in  BCP,  amongst  the  country’s  top  three  lenders,  will  see  
the  state  giving  up  half  of  its  40%  stake  in  the  bank  to  the  latter’s  regional  branches  known  as  Banques  
Populaires  Regionales,  which  will  end  up  holding  37%  in  BCP.  The  sale,  according  to  the  ministry,  aims  to  boost  
BCP’s  development  and  allows  its  regional  branches  to  play  a  bigger  role  in  the  country’s  plan  to  devolve  powers  
to  its  regions.  Shares  in  BCP  have  been  suspended  from  trading  since  20  May  2011  on  the  Casablanca  bourse  
pending  the  announcement.  
   
The  news  comes  in  line  with  previous  government  announcements  that  it  will  finance  its  widening  deficit  
through  asset  sales.  Morocco  needed  to  double  its  spending  on  subsidies  to  match  rising  commodity  prices.  The  
government  also  granted  public  workers  a  generous  pay  increase  in  an  effort  to  tame  protests.  The  sale  amount  
is  equivalent  to  0.65%  of  GDP  and  may  represent  upside  risk  to  our  fiscal  deficit  forecast  of  4.5%  of  GDP  for  
2011  pending  the  cost  of  the  recent  wage  hike  and  further  increases  in  oil  prices.  (Reuters,  Mohamed  Abu
