3. Valuation

In order to account for current market valuations, we have valued Baltona Group by using DCF model.

For our model we have used the following assumptions: risk-free rate of 4.0%, beta of 1.3, terminal sales

growth rate of 3%, corporate income tax rate 19%. With WACC (weighted average cost of the capital) of

8.7%, our DCF-based fair value of Baltona Group is PLN 7.86.

a. DCF-model

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

b. Peer Group Analysis

We have additionally conducted a plausibility check of the valuation, which was derived by our DCF

model. The application of a relative valuation method is based on the idea that comparable companies

have similar market values. Hence, listed companies are chosen, which offer similar products, or have

a strictly similar business model. The analysis of financial figures provides an estimation to which

degree the Group’s valuation stems from a low comparability with its peer group or an under- or

overvaluation.

The input data of the peers stem from the information provided by Thomson Reuters. The forward-

looking financial data of the peer group represents the mean average of all analyst ‘estimates, which are

available on Thomson Reuters.

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

Based on our peer multiples, the implied fair value equals PLN 15.00 per share.

c. Piotroski F-Score

Piotroski F-Score assigns a score from 0 (more likely to go bankrupt) to 9 (strong financials) based on

9 PASS/FAIL tests. This analysis influences our forecast of trends and cost of equity. We use TTM

values (9M/14 – 9M-15).

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

Baltona Group’s F-Score = 9 (range: 0 – 9)

d. Summary:

Due to the fact the peer group analysis is based on only two strict comparable firms, the valuation based

on this method should not yield fair value of Group. Therefore, we do not use the conclusion from peer

group analysis into calculating the target price, but rather along with Piotroski F-Score we use them as

a plausibility check of the valuation.

Hence, based on our DCF valuation framework, our target price for the stock equals to PLN 7.86.

4. 9M/15 Financial Results

a. Revenues, Profitability

Baltona Group published its third-quarter results for period ending on 30 September 2015. The Group

generated total sales of PLN 345.3m, which corresponded to a growth of +28.8% y-o-y. Sources of

revenues consist mainly of duty-free sales.

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

The Group maintained high EBITDA margin during the latest nine months, achieving margin of 4.5 %.

The Group generated revenues mainly from domestic outlets, which constitutes 67% of revenues.

Moreover, we can observe sales diversification. There is a y-o-y change in revenues share with regard

to country origin in favour for foreign sources (66% share of revenue from domestic sources in 9M

2014).

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

More importantly, the growth in sales was accompanied with maintaining higher margins at all level of

P&L, net income margin increased to 2.0% (vs. 9M/14: -1.1%).

Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH | Initial coverage

High net margin has been achieved due to the fact that usually 9M period’s profit magins are higher

than margins for 12M period due seasonality of the Group’s business. The chief of revenue stream is

generated during 2Q and 3Q. Therefore, we predict net margin to be slightly lower at 12M/2015 vs.

9M/2015.

b. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of 30 September 2015, the most important position on Baltona Group´s balance sheet were trade

payables of PLN 39.2m and inventories of PLN 32.5m. Total assets amounted to PLN 98m.

In the 9M period, Baltona Group generated an operating cash flows of positive PLN 9.8m (vs. 9M/14:

PLN 6.6m), which was higher than last year mainly due to increase in net income and positive change

in inventories. Purchases of assets for PLN 2.2m was the main factor contributing to negative cash flows

from investing activities of PLN -2.2m (vs. 9M/14: PLN –3.8m). The Group generated negative cash

flow from financing activity of PLN -2.8m (vs. 9M/14: PLN -3.6m), mainly due to the repayment of

outstanding debt. In total, change in cash was negative of PLN -4.4m (vs. 9M/14: PLN -2.4m).

In terms of working capital management, the Group significantly improved inventory management,

achieving inventory turnover of 6.9 (vs. 9M/14: 5.3). On the other hand there is a deterioration in

managing trade accounts receivable and trade payables.

5. Outlook

a. Micro factors

The Group issued unaudited sales results for year 2015. Baltona Group generated in total PLN 430m in

core revenues (without minor revenues) with is an increase of 21% on y-o-y basis. The audited number

of total sales (and y-o-y increase) should be higher due to the fact that the Group also generates sales

from minor activity which is reported on quarterly basis.

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

We can observe solid growth in Food & Beverages segment, which is the most profitable the Group’s

business. Moreover, the Group achieved noticeable growth in Duty-Free and Travel Retail sales of PLN

16.5m (vs. December/14: PLN 15.4m). This result is crucial, and means that the Group’s main business

is growing besides social and political affairs in Europe (increase of level of terrorism in Europe,

especially in France and Belgium). The decrease in sales in B2B segment is a result of the Group’s

policy to cut areas which are least profitable. This should results in higher EBITDA margins in 2016.

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

The sales results in December includes the fact that the Group closed out the business in Krakow and

Katowice Airport. However, we can expect higher capacity of sales due to the application for license to

operate at airport in Bremen and extending contract at airports in Gdansk (larger space) and Katowice.

When we divide the Group’s business into three parts: Duty-Free & Travel Retail, B2B and Food and

Beverages, we can notice factors that should contribute to positive outlook for two of them:

- Duty-Free & Travel Retail segment should grow due to anticipated increase in passenger traffic

- Food and Beverages is the Group’s new business with high margins, initiated in 2012. The Group

is going to set up new outlets and benefit from anticipated increase in passenger traffic.

On the cost side, we can observe positive signals as the new management announced to continue strictly

controlling SG&A costs along with keeping financial costs lower by repayments of debt.

There are also two risks that may have impact on lower levels of P&L. Firstly, there is outstanding debt

denominated in dollars and euro as of 30 Sept 2015. The impact on net income may be either positive

or negative in long term. Secondly, Polish Government may impose taxes on retail sales next year, but

the level of tax and how Baltona Group would be charged on, is not yet known. However, the tax does

not include retail sales of excise goods and the all goods that the government has a discretion over their

price. Therefore, the potential impact on the Group’s revenues is reduced as the Group’s products such

as cigarettes will not be impacted by this tax regulation.

b. Macro factors

Duty - free & travel retail (DFTR) is a global industry selling goods to travellers, which are exempt from

certain local or national taxes and excise duties, normally on the understanding the goods will be taken

out of the country. Airports represent the majority of such sales globally but duty - free & travel retail

is also available at border shops, onboard cruise & ferry vessels and onboard aircraft during international

travel, at international railway stations and in some non-EU countries at downtown stores where proof

of travel is required and at airport arrival shops.

The Group business is chiefly dependent on level of traffic at airports. Thus, the success of the Duty-

Free and Travel Retail industry is intrinsically linked to the rise of global aviation and tourism.

Air Traffic

According to Polish Civil Aviation Authority, the number of passengers serviced at Polish airports in

12M/2015 amounted to 30.5m (vs. 12M/14: 27.0m) can be translated to increase of 13%.

With regards to DFRT and F&B segment, the Baltona Group now fully operates at 5 Polish airports:

Warsaw-Modlin, Gdansk, Poznan, Bydgoszcz and Rzeszow, and has landside shops in Krakow and

Katowice. The table below presents statistics with regards to number of passengers (PAX) at the Polish

airports where the Group has been operating.

Source: Polish Airports, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

We can observe massive increase of 21% y-o-y from 2014 to 2015 in PAX at the Group’s airports.

What’s more, the increase in PAX at the Group’s airports is higher than the overall increase of PAX at

Polish airports (21% vs. 13%). Additionally, it should be noted that the Poznan Airport had been

modernized for one month through September and October, thus the adjusted number of PAX should

be higher.

In terms of air passenger transport per inhabitants, Poland still lags behind the average of European

Union. According to Eurostat data as of the end of 2013, the average for EU-28 countries was 1.7, while

Poland reported less than 1.0 air passenger carried per inhabitant in 2013. Therefore, there is still room

for increase in air traffic from the side of Polish inhabitants.

In terms of global market, we can also observe stable growth of the number of passengers serviced at

airports (PAX). World passenger traffic continued to grow strongly by +6.3% y-o-y in November 2015.

All regions but Africa, posted a strong y-o-y growth in international passengers traffic.

Source: www.aci.aero, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

The Passenger Load Factor “LF” (measures the capacity utilization of public transport services like

airlines, passenger railways, and intercity bus services. It assess how efficiently a transport provider

"fills seats" and generates fare revenue) reached 80.5% in October 2015, a significant improvement of

+1.4 percentage points from the LF recorded in the same period last year. Both international and

domestic LFs have improved.

Almost all regions posted positive growth in level of capacity (Available Seat-Kilometers - ASK) in

November 2015 y-o-y with a +4.2% increase in capacity worldwide.

Duty-Free & Travel Retail sector

In terms of duty-free & travel retail sector there is also significant assumption that the market is

gaining positive momentum and the solid growth is anticipated in the future. According to the PWC

report ‚ Retail Sector: Global and Mexican highlights of the supermarket & hypermarket industry‘, duty

free retailers are among the top 5 fastest growing retail channels worldwide, ranked by the CAGR from

2013 to 2018 with 6.4%.

Moreover, other independent research houses also predict strong performance of duty-free retailers.

According to Conlumino report ‘Global Duty Free Retailing 2014 -2019, The current global market

value of the sector is estimated at $49bn (£31bn) and is set to produce growth of $25bn (£16bn) over

the next five years as the expansion of low cost airlines, larger aircraft, and more airports, increase the

number of international travellers. What’s more, it is argued that even mass market retailers are now

moving into the channel as they realise the potential of the high footfall, captive audience it generates.

We can expect that the expansion of low cost airlines, more airports and larger aircraft are making

international travel more accessible to developing countries and less affluent travellers. This factor

should attract regular retailers to the channel as well as luxury brands, as they may be tempted by its

huge potential to reach a high footfall, constantly changing, mass of shoppers. On one hand the

attractiveness of the market may increase competition at the market, on the other hand it shows huge

potential of the market.

The example of the market attractiveness is the latest acquisition of World Duty Free (WDF) by the

Durfy, announced in March, 2015. Dufry closed the acquisition of the 50.1% stake of World Duty

Free Group from Edizione for €1.31bn on August 2015. WDF had €970 in net debt and €260.5 million

in EBITDA at the end of 2014 making the enterprise value of the deal around $3.57 billion. The

EV/EBITDA multiple for the deal was around 13.7x, which is substantially higher that current and

predicted EV/EBITDA of Baltona Group (4.59x as of 17 January 2016 and 5.68x as of 2015E).

In spite of the increase in market attractiveness, there is a limited medium-term risk of the competition

to be visible at Polish airports, because there is relatively low level of interest from big players to show

up at airports below 5m - 10m of PAX.

If we assume, that crude oil prices hold at the level below $50, this should stimulate airlines to cut prices

and passengers to select airline as a more comfortable means of travel by instead of travel by train or

car.

Based on our detailed calculation we estimate that the number of passengers serviced at Baltona Group’s

airports should increase to 9.3%, which should contribute to 18% increase in total sales of the Group in

2016.

c. Summary of outlook

Our financial estimates for 2015E-2017E and for 2016E q/q

Source: Group data, Dr. Kalliwoda International Research GmbH

Following strong 1-3Q15, the decent 4Q/15 sales figures should not come as a surprise. Because of the

restructuring of the business, we do expect the four quarter of 2015 to bring in decrease in q-o-q sales

and on the other hand material q-o-q improvement of operating cash flows (be it for the sake of

differences in the base levels). Specifically, we are looking at approx. PLN 90m in sales for the group

and to a small degree negative net income.

On the other hand, in terms of sales, the Group plans to participate in applying for license at airports in

Bremen and extending contract in Gdansk and Katowice. With regard to Gdansk Airport, the success in

extending license will result in increase in current capacity at this airport that should translate into

significant increase of sales in 2016 - 2017.

Looking at the Group’s perspectives, we get the feeling that the Group seems to be managed in the right

direction. The Group focuses both on the top line improvement (increase in sales, introducing new

segments of business) and on the bottom line enhancement.

The bottom line enhancements plan assumes corporate reorganisation that focuses on:

- Optimisation of logistics process within the Group

- Optimisation of business segments – reduction of unprofitable segments

- Simplification of the organizational structure of the Group

The steps undertaken by the Group allow to increase in productivity of labour and make assets

utilisation higher. In results the corporate reorganisation should generate substantial increase in

profitability in 2016.

In our view total sales should constantly increase due growth in airports traffic and increase level of

consumption spending in Poland. Although long-term margins trend might go downwards due to

increase in competition, our study assumes strong, positive operating cash flows in 2016E and 2017E.

Our estimates 2015E-2017E

in PLNm 2015E 2016E 2017E

Net sales 436.1 514.6 540.3

EBITDA 16.88 24.01 29.00

We see some risks to the 2015 financials of Baltona Group such as: (i) USD strengthening vs. PLN

negatively affecting the net margin on sales, (ii) EUR strengthening vs. PLN increasing the rental costs.

We adjusted our estimates taking into account risks of a.) global terrorist threat, with consequent

potential decrease in sales, and b.) the concrete risk of an increase in competition both in domestic and

international markets. We remained cautious in terms of the rapid development of the corporate demand

in B2B segment.

On the other hand, the Polish economy expansion should positively affect the LFL sales development

at consumer sentiment driven companies in the high-end part of the market. What’s more, the corporate

restructuring should position the Group very competitive to capture a hefty share of the European market

in duty-free & travel retail. Although we may not see effects of this strategy in the short term, the Group

has been growing as a corporate in our view.

As a final sum-up, we see that there is a huge turnaround in the Group’s business model and quality of

management. The turnaround started in 2011, through changes in shareholders structure and starting of

international expansion. Soon after, the Group lost the most important contract at Warsaw-Chopin

Airport. Nonetheless, such a big loss was seemingly a driver to conduct further top and bottom line

enhancements. The Group started to introduce new segments of business (B2B and Food and Beverages)

and has undertaken the corporate reorganisation in positive direction. In result, the current financials

(EBITDA PLN 15.5m, up 128% y-o-y) indicate that the Group’s turnaround is likely to materialize in

near term.

In our opinion, the Group’s sales growth, deliberate and well-knit long-term strategy, debt reduction,

strong cash-flow along with the convincing growth in airport traffic are strong support for good direction

of stable, organic development of the Group with proper sales management and cost structure on hand.

We initiate our coverage of Baltona Group with a Buy rating.

macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates, exchange rates, raw materials and on basic assumptions

about the economy. Besides, the market moods and market sentiment affects the valuation of enterprises.

The approaches are based on expectations that could change rapidly and without advance warning

according on developments specific to individual branch. The valuation results and fair values derived

from the models might therefore change accordingly.

exceeding -10% over the next twelve months
