prices and a healthy demand outlook with the governments renewed interest in
PSDP spending. The companys strategic investments in the Democratic Republic
of Congo and Iraq along with its diversification strategy of venturing into a wind
power project will further unlock its potential going forward. LUCK is on a course to
diversify its earnings through 40MW power sales and carbon credits. In addition,
LUCK is also planning to acquire ICI Pakistan Limited, which if successful, will
further diversify its earnings.

Valuation Summary
Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) based December 2012 target price for LUCK works
out to PKR 170/share, translating into a striking upside potential of 32.5% from closing
price of PKR 128.3/share. Our valuation is based on the market return of 18%, beta of
1.16 and a terminal growth rate of 3%. Besides this sizeable upside potential the stock
is trading at FY13 PER of 4.6x, offering a deep discount of 26% from the market PE,
thus forming a strong case of rerating from these levels.
Risks to Valuation
Cement Price Risk
Our valuation is very sensitive to the cement price, evident from the fact that every PKR
5/bag change in our Ex-Factory price assumption changes our earnings forecast by
PKR 0.8/share or 3.1%.
International Coal Price Risk
Coal is the biggest cost component of the cement manufacturing process constituting
around 43% of the total manufacturing cost. We have pegged our coal price assumption
with international crude oil price and we are expecting coal prices to average around
USD 95/ton in FY13. Every USD 5/ton change in coal price forecast will change our
FY13 EPS by PKR 0.82 or 3.3%.
Gas availability Risk
There is a proposal under consideration to divert gas from captive power to KESC. In
such scenario, LUCK will have to use its newly built connection line to import power
from HESCO rather than dispatching it. As per our calculations, if LUCK has to rely on
HESCO grid for 2 months of power requirement than its electricity cost may jump by 5%
and revenue from power sales to HESCO may reduce by 14%. We see lower
probability of this risk materializing, nonetheless if may have an adverse EPS impact of
~PKR 1.1/share in FY13.
Everybodys a winner!
The current pricing environment has enabled large cement manufacturers to further
consolidate their position by investing in energy efficiency projects. Small and medium
players on the other hand have found some breathing space after facing consistent
losses for a couple of years. Thus, the industry as a whole is emerging as a winner
under this scenario.

In line with crude oil, coal price has crashed in June 2012 to USD 81/ton (Richards Bay
fob), lowest since October 2010. Besides fall out in commodity prices, coal prices were
also affected by the sluggish demand from China. Coal prices are expected to remain
under pressure till demand from emerging markets regain its original position.
We have pegged our coal price assumption with international crude oil price because of
2
its strong correlation (0.88) and an R of 0.77. Crude prices continued to remain under
pressure as US and EU continue to struggle from muted growth and sovereign debt
crisis, which pushed WTI crude down to USD 77/bbl level. Oil prices have regained by
x% to USD 88/bbl from its recent low, mainly on account of sanctions on Iran, effective
from July 1, 2012. In our base case assumption we expect coal prices (RB fob) to cool
off by 9% and 16% to USD 95/ton and USD 89/ton in FY13 and FY14, respectively from
USD 105.5/ton averaging in FY12.

Our earnings forecast and valuations are very sensitive to coal price assumption, as
coal constitutes around 41.2% of the total production cost for LUCK. Following
sensitivity analysis suggests that every USD 5/ton change in coal price assumption
increases our earnings estimates by PKR 0.8/share.

It ~20-25% higher heat value than coal; thus almost 20-25% less tyres would
be required to generate the same amount of energy as with coal.
The company started its trial production in December 2011 and has reached 20%
replacement rate, with a target of 40% in FY13. We have incorporated a 30%
replacement rate in FY13, which is likely to have an after tax savings of PKR 1.8/share
in FY13.

LUCK has qualified for Carbon Credits under Kyoto Protocol for its WHRPs. The
Company will reduce carbon emission equivalent to ~ 80k CERs. Carbon credits are not
expected to add much to the revenues as the carbon market in EU has plummeted
since the start of CY11. A CER, which was trading above EUR 10/CER in January 2011
has dropped to EUR 3.9/CER in July 2012. Assuming a rate of EUR 4/CER, carbon
credits are likely to yield another revenue stream of around PKR 31mn in FY13.

LUCK is undertaking two expansion projects, a 1mn tons per annum green field project
in Democratic Republic of Congo and a 0.9mn tons grinding facility in Iraq. The
company is expected to bear a capital expenditure of around PKR 5.9bn in FY13 to
invest in these projects. Both of these strategic investments are made in the areas
which are going under reconstruction phase, where strong domestic demand and
attractive pricing environment will shorten the payback period.
