I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A free float of 49.25% Following the IPO and the rights issue, Juhayna’s number of shares increased to 726.4 million
post lock-up duration from 520.4 million shares and its shareholding structure became: 50.75% Pharon Investment
Limited (owned mostly by the Thabet family), 20.9% other old shareholders, and 28.35% new
shareholders. Some 90% of shares owned by old shareholders are locked up for a period of 180
days following the start of trading (15 June) of the shares. Accordingly, we estimate Juhayna’s
free float at 35.51% during the lock-up period and 49.25% afterwards. EFG Hermes
Investment Banking was the global co-ordinator and sole book runner of the IPO.

Proceeds will finance The IPO proceeds will be used in: i) completing the purchase of and accelerating the pace of
expansions and enhance investment of c10,000 feddans (10,380 acres), of which it owns 2,500 feddans, to cultivate the
the capital structure majority of concentrate factories’ needs for fruits and the dairy farm’s needs of cattle feed, ii)
establishing or acquiring dairy farms (fully owned) to own12,000 milking cows over three to
four years to ensure an uninterrupted raw milk supply (currently Juhayna owns 40% of the
dairy farm, Milkes, which will have 1,600 milking cows by the end of 2010), iii) tapping into
new food and beverage segments, iv) introducing innovative products that cater for varying
consumer needs, and v) enhancing operations in export markets such as Libya, Jordan and
Lebanon. Juhayna also seeks to optimise its capital structure by reducing its financial leverage.
Longer term, Juhayna plans to evolve into a regional food and beverage manufacturer.
Over the past two years, Juhayna doubled its capacity to gear up for strong market growth,
reaching 1,710 tonnes/day for dairy and c670 tonnes/day for juice. According to management,
there is room to add more capacity in existing factories. Additionally, the company is setting
up a new yogurt factory with an initial capacity of 400 tonnes/day to replace its main yogurt
factory (that had a capacity of 350 tonnes/ day) it had lost in a recent fire incident in April
2010, with operations expected to start in 1Q2011. The replacement cost of the old factory
4 / 66 pages
juhayna food industries 29 July 2010

food and beverage │ egypt
will be covered by insurance proceeds, according to management. Until the new factory
becomes operational, the company is temporarily operating alternative yogurt capacities (old
and new machines) in other dairy factories (with capacity expected to increase from 70
tonnes/day in May to 300 tonnes/day in August 2010 and 350 tonnes/day by early 2011). Due
to seasonality, juice and yogurt capacity utilisation is usually higher during Ramadan and the
summer months. Yogurt is the most seasonal product with its capacity utilisation reaching
over 85% during Ramadan. Additionally, milk utilisation is higher in the winter because cow
yields are higher than in the summer.
1
Annual capacity is calculated based on 290 days to adjust for use of machines in producing different types of products (i.e. flavoured products).
2
Excluding depreciation from costs and before adding the export rebate.
3
Market share is for plain milk and plain spoonable yogurt, which represents the majority of packaged consumption in Egypt. Juhayna’s yogurt factory was subject to a
fire in April 2010 and is expected to be replaced by new capacity of 400 tonnes/day versus 350 tonnes/day of the old factory.
4
Cream is a by-product of milk and has no specific capacity of its own.

In the Egyptian market, Juhayna is leveraging several of its competitive advantages to support
its market position, namely: i) its brand, which is one of the most widely recognised in Egypt,
as per a study by AC Nielsen in 2009, ii) its strong track record and knowledge of the Egyptian
market, iii) its unmatched distribution network that is costly to replicate, and iv) its focus on
several product categories, allowing it to benefit from production and distribution synergies.
Juhayna plans to compete at all levels in its existing dairy and juice categories to capture
growth in the highest growing segments, meet increased competition and defend its market
share. This will be achieved through: i) adding new value-added products (new flavours,
digestive, etc.) in the milk and yogurt categories (2010-2011), ii) launching a low-tier milk
6 / 66 pages
juhayna food industries 29 July 2010

brand “Halibo” to benefit from the expected acceleration of consumer conversion to packaged
milk (May 2010), and iii) introducing juice drinks (that include 10% fruit concentrate) (end-
2009-2010), which account for 41% of packaged juice consumption, instead of only focusing
on juice nectars (that include at least 25% fruit concentrate) and pure juices (100% fruit
concentrate). Additionally, the company is studying expanding into the fresh product segment,
targeting the high-end consumer and selling only to large retailers who are equipped to sell
fresh products. The fresh product segment is highly untapped in the Egyptian market.
Strong top and bottom line In 2010-2015, we forecast a total revenue CAGR of 20%, with a slower rate of 13% in 2010 to
growth… account for a decline in yogurt revenue. We conservatively assume that the EBITDA margin
will gradually contract to 19.1% in 2015 from 24.9% in 2009, although we assume it will
remain well above 2007-2008 levels of 12.1% and 8.7%, respectively. Our assumptions reflect
our conviction that 2009 margins were higher than industry norms due to a sharp decline in
raw material costs and a negative impact from competitive pressures on future margins. Our
assumptions do not include any positive impact from the planned upstream expansion in dairy
and agriculture farms, as these expansions are not yet included in our forecasts. In 2010, our
attributable net profit (excluding 2009-2010’s one-off capital gains) surges 84% on lower net
finance charges and appropriations (2009 included exceptional payments to employees and its
board of directors - BoD). In 2011-2015, we forecast attributable net profit will grow at a 24%
CAGR that is mainly driven by core operations (+21% CAGR in net operating profit), but also
as interest income expands (on IPO proceeds).
Once Juhayna starts to use the IPO proceeds, this will result in a decline in interest income.
Accordingly, our net profit estimates in earlier forecast years will be adjusted downward until
new expansions start paying off.

… and positive FCF Juhayna reported positive FCF of EGP194 million in 2009, after it had completed setting up its
new juice and concentrates factories. We expect FCF will remain positive over our forecast
horizon, as our forecasts do not include the impact of any expansion that will be financed from
the IPO proceeds. We expect that the FCF-to-sales ratio will average 11.4% over 2010-2015.
An acceleration of capex spending on new projects using the IPO proceeds would result in
lower (and in some years negative) FCF in the earlier years of our forecast period compared to
what we currently assume.

ii) Juhayna’s ability to maintain its market share with the entrance of new competitors. After
applying a 10% decrease/increase to our implied milk market share assumption for each
forecast year (implying a terminal market share range of 41-61% compared to 62% in 2009
and our terminal forecast of 51%), our sensitivity analysis yields an equity valuation range of
EGP5.39-EGP6.32 per share.
iii) Margin sustainability. Our assumptions were based on the financial history of only three
years that included: sharp fluctuations in commodity prices and a firm-wide restructuring. We
assumed margins will decline from 2009 levels, which appear, in our opinion, higher than
industry norms. The changes in the company’s strategy and market dynamics towards
increased profitability may prove us wrong, and perhaps margins will remain at their current
high levels. One could argue, however, that these high margins will eventually decrease as
competition decides to forgo some profit to gain market share. Based on our terminal growth
rate assumption of 5%, a 300 bps contraction/expansion to our terminal EBITDA margin
forecast of 19% yields a per share equity valuation range of EGP4.62-EGP7.09.
9 / 66 pages
juhayna food industries 29 July 2010
II. VALUATION
Our DCF valuation yields a FV Our fair value for Juhayna stands at EGP5.85 per share, using a five-year discounted cash flow
of EGP5.85/share (DCF) valuation. Additionally, we examine dairy and juice comparables in emerging and
developed markets. The blended peer group trades on an average estimated 2010 P/E multiple
of 15.1x and 2011 P/E multiple of 13.6x, and on an average estimated 2010 EV/EBITDA
multiple of 9.5x and 2011 EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.5x. Juhayna trades lower than its peers on
an estimated 2011 P/E of 9.8x and an estimated 2011 EV/EBITDA of 6.5x.
Our DCF fair value estimate is based on the existing business and does not account for any
expansion using the IPO proceeds (i.e. vertical integration upstream and expansion in
existing/new food and beverage products). We believe this may underestimate the value of the
company as it does not take into account the value of any expansion and/or acquisitions
Juhayna may undertake.
We use a five-year DCF valuation to arrive at an equity value of EGP4.3 billion. Our DCF
assumptions are as follows: i) a risk-free rate of 10% reflecting the T-bill yield, adjusted for tax
and discretionary duration premium, ii) an equity risk premium (ERP) of 6.0% (we use 5.5-
6.0% for our consumer companies), iii) a terminal debt-to-equity ratio of 1:1; and iv) a
terminal growth rate (TGR) of 5.0%.

Cost of Equity
Upside Risks
- Use of the proceeds in investments that result in improved margins and/or returns.
- Stability or expansion in Juhayna’s market shares, which comes in better than our forecast, as
the company better utilises its new, commercially-oriented management team and benefits
from more active R&D and marketing activities and the expansion of its product offerings to
include a wider range of low-tier brands and fresh products.
- A faster development of the retail sector to become more industrialised, which will
encourage dairy and juice companies to expand into fresh products on a large scale.
Downside Risks
- Deterioration of economic conditions that negatively affects demand for dairy and juice
products or slows consumer shift from loose to packaged food consumption.
- Slow development of the retail industry, which may hold back a wide expansion into
industrial-packaged fresh dairy and juice products.
- Rising costs that are not matched with price increases. This includes a success of dairy farms
lobbying to increase raw milk prices, increases in milk powder prices, and higher packaging
costs. Increases in energy prices (in July 2010), set by the government, have a minor impact on
margins since dairy and juice are non-energy intensive industries.

juhayna food industries 29 July 2010
In our forecasts we assumed margins will decline from 2009 and 1Q2010 levels, which appear,
in our opinion, higher than industry norms, but will remain well above 2007 and 2008
depressed levels. The changes in the company’s strategy and market dynamics may prove us
wrong and perhaps margins will remain at their high levels as Juhayna, and the consumer
industry at large, take these margins and profitability as a base for a new, more profitable era.
One could argue, however, that these high margins will eventually decrease, particularly with
increased competition that may decide to forgo some profits to gain market share.
The main variables affecting our forecasts and valuation include: i) the pace of shift by
consumers to packaged products, particularly in the milk segment as it currently has a low
contribution to milk consumption, mostly caused by consumer dietary habits and affordability,
ii) Juhayna’s ability to maintain its market share with the entrance of new competitors,
particularly in the packaged milk segment where it had a dominant market share of 69% in
2009, and iii) margin sustainability.
In the following tables we present the impact on our valuation from: i) the speed of conversion
to packaged milk, and changes in Juhayna’s share of the milk market, and ii) changes in the
company’s terminal EBITDA margin.

D. COMPARABLE VALUATION
The blended peer group Our peer group consists of 15 developed and emerging companies that have dairy and juice as
trades on an estimated 2010 main business lines. We note that: i) in terms of market choice, we include developed
P/E of 15.1x and 2011 P/E of comparables due to the limited number of listed comparables in emerging markets, or the lack
13.6x of consensus estimates for some of them, and ii) in terms of business lines, some comparables
may have business lines that differ from those of Juhayna. The blended peer group trades on
an average estimated 2010 P/E multiple of 15.1x and 2011 P/E multiple of 13.6x, and an
average estimated 2010 EV/EBITDA multiple of 9.5x and 2011 EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.5x.
Juhayna trades lower than both its emerging and developed peers on an estimated 2011 P/E of
9.8x and an estimated 2011 EV/EBITDA of 6.5x.
The emerging peer group trades on an average estimated 2010 P/E multiple of 15.9x and 2011
P/E multiple of 13.7x, and an average estimated 2010 EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.8x and 2011
EV/EBITDA multiple of 9.2x. On a P/E multiple basis, developing companies trade moderately
above developed companies in 2010, but on par in 2011 and 2012. They, however, trade at a
premium based on EV/EBITDA multiples.
There are only two comparable dairy and juice companies actively traded in the MENA region,
Almarai Company (estimated 2010 P/E multiple of 17.2x and 2011 P/E multiple of 15.1x) and
SADAFCO (estimated P/E of 8.4x in 2010 and 8.2x in 2011). Based on our estimates Almarai
trades on higher multiples than the peer group average, which is partly justified by its
expansion strategy, strong track record, high margins and high ROE.

BACKGROUND
The largest packaged Juhayna Food Industries (Juhayna) is a leading Egyptian packaged dairy and fruit juice
milk producer in Egypt… manufacturer and distributor. Production began in 1987, and today its operations include long-
life dairy products (58% of revenue), yogurt (23%), and fruit juice (18%). The company sells
under its main brand name “Juhayna” as well as under other brand names, such as “Bekhero”.
These other brands are marketed under the Juhayna brand umbrella, however, to build on
Juhayna’s brand equity. Juhayna has the largest nationwide distribution network amongst its
peers and delivers its products to over 75,000 retail outlets in Egypt. In addition, Juhayna has
been expanding its upstream business since 2008; it now produces juice concentrates, it owns
a dairy farm that will have a 3,000 herd (of which c1,600 are milking cows) by the end of
2010, and it has recently bought arable land on which it will cultivate fruits and animal feed.
…benefiting from first Selling over 150 SKUs (stock keeping units, different product types such as different flavours or
mover advantage sizes), Juhayna has a dominant 69% share of Egypt’s packaged plain milk market, 31% of the
spoonable yogurt market, and a 15% share of the fruit juice market, during 2009 through to
December. It also exports dairy and juice products (11% of revenue), primarily to Libya (73%)
and the Middle East. In the medium to long term, Juhayna plans to evolve from a local dairy
and juice manufacturer into a wider food and beverage manufacturer.

EXPANSION STRATEGY
Plans to evolve into an Egypt’s favourable demographics (young and growing population), combined with the under-
integrated food and penetration of the dairy and juice segment by organised producers, have attracted several
beverage producer international and regional players in recent years. This has changed the market’s competitive
landscape. Existing players have found their market share threatened, especially as they had
not been very active in the past in offering new products/flavours to the market.
19 / 66 pages
juhayna food industries 29 July 2010
Juhayna is leveraging several of its competitive advantages to support its market position,
namely: i) its brand, which is one of the most widely recognised in Egypt, as per a study by AC
Nielsen in 2009, ii) its strong track record and knowledge of the Egyptian market, iii) its
unmatched distribution network that is costly to replicate, and iv) its focus on several product
categories, allowing it to benefit from production and distribution synergies.
The company has formulated a strategy to maintain a high growth rate that consists of the
following:
i) Improving its cost structure by a further vertical integration upstream (dairy and agricultural
farms) and downstream (distribution), as well as a further diversification of its supplier base.
ii) Thecompany is also considering tapping into other food categories in Egypt to leverage its
distribution network (under consideration).
iii) Expandingits product portfolio in its existing dairy and juice categories. Juhayna plans to
compete at all levels in its existing product categories to meet increased competition and
defend its market share. This includes expanding its product range (for example by adding new
flavours for milk and yogurt, or different types of packaging for juice) to cater to changing
consumer preferences, as well as broadening its coverage across all income brackets (for
example, by adding a new low-tier milk brand).
iv) Longer term, possibly expanding regionally by replicating its business model in other MENA
countries.

Business-to-business (B2B) accounts for 10% of the company’s dairy product sales. B2B
customers include hotels, airlines, restaurants and fast food chains (including brands such as
McDonalds, Chili’s, Burger King and Starbucks). Exports account for 17% of the segment’s
revenue, of which 85% is from milk. Libya and the Middle East are the largest export markets.

Becoming more active at the Juhayna recently introduced/plans to introduce three new milk products in the near future: i) a
lower end of the milk market low-tier plain milk brand, “Halibo” (May 2010), to target the large low-income bracket
population, which generally consumes “loose” milk - fresh, unpasteurised milk. This segment
has recently been tapped by other players offering products at prices close to loose milk prices,
ii) “Bekhero” skimmed milk, targeting the mid- to low-income consumers, and iii) honey and
sugar “Mix” flavoured milk, both of which are additions aimed at children’s consumption.
The company is also planning on becoming a more active player in the cheese market. In
addition, it is considering a possible entry into the fresh milk market segment, targeting the
high-end consumer. This will likely be sold only in hypermarkets and large supermarkets as
most of the retail sector in Egypt is dominated by individually owned stores, which are not
equipped to sell fresh dairy products.

its lost yogurt capacity Juhayna lost this factory in a fire in April 2010 and, accordingly, it is currently replacing it by
building a new factory that it anticipates will be operational in 1Q2011. The new factory will
have an initial capacity of 400 tonnes/day and the company estimates its capex at EGP275
million. According to the company, the old factory was fully insured with a value equivalent to
EGP299 million in case of total loss. The company estimates the replacement cost of the
factory at EGP240 million. Juhayna will finance the new factory’s capex through a bridge loan
of up to EGP300 million (withdrawn as needed) until it receives the insurance proceeds. Until

the new factory starts operations, the company is operating yogurt production lines (old
machines, as well as new machines that will become operational between July 2010 and early
2011) at its Juhayna and Masreya factories. This has resulted in a combined yogurt capacity of
around 70 tonnes/day in May that will increase to 300 tonnes/day in August (c85% of the old
factory’s capacity) and will further grow to 350 tonnes/day by early 2011 (100% of the old
factory's capacity). The reduction in capacity will mean that Juhayna’s market share will
decline in 2010; we estimate to 25-26% from 31% in 2009.

Penetrating new segments to Although, Juhayna had a sizeable market share in the nectar (20%) and pure juice (55%)
enlarge market share categories in 2009, its blended market share in the packaged juice market was small at 15%.
This is because it previously mostly sold juice nectar, while juice drinks account for 41% of the
market. Additionally, it used to sell in carton packaging, while bottles and pouches account for
57% of the market. However, the company has recently launched its first bottled juice drink
brand, “Tingo” as well as “Jump” juice drink in carton. It is also considering entering into the
pouch market, which has significant potential in the low-income bracket. Additionally, to
expand sales of its higher margin “Juhayna Pure”, the company intends to add four new
flavours to its offering in 2010 (carrot and orange, mango, guava, and pineapple).

i) 93% of its raw milk needs come from local dairy farms (non-contractual) and Juhayna
closely supervises the farms to ensure quality and low bacterial count. Historically, Juhayna
used suppliers with an average herd size of at least 200 cows. Recently, the company adopted
a three-year plan to extend its supplier network, targeting up to 1,000 smaller herds (from 10
to 100 cows). In addition, Juhayna, in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture, and with
the support of Industrial Modernisation Centre in Egypt and Tetra Pak, is developing collection
centres to deal with a large number of smaller milk producers. This will allow the company to
meet anticipated future demand of raw milk, while diversifying its supplier mix to control
costs.
ii) milk powder, butter oil and milk protein come from Denmark and New Zealand;
iii) 24.4% of its juice concentrate needs come from international suppliers;
iv) fruits for the concentrate factories come from local farmers and dealers;
v) its packaging material needs come from local and global suppliers. The company has two
supply contracts with Sweden’s TetraPak (for dairy packaging) and Switzerland’s Combibloc
(for juice packaging).

Moving upstream Juhayna has been taking major steps since 2008 to control the supply of its raw materials and
reduce costs, taking advantage of vertical integration possibilities:
i) It
entered into a JV to establish Milkes (located in Cairo-Alexandria Road), of which it owns
40%, to set up and operate a modern dairy farm. This took place in 2008 after the government
removed the ban on milking cow imports. The farm will have a 3,000 herd by the end of 2010
(of which c1,600 are milking cows with an average yield per cow of 35 litres/day), purchased
from Europe. Milkes currently covers 7% of Juhayna’s raw milk needs. In the medium term, the
company plans to be increasingly self sufficient in milk, sourcing about half of its raw milk
needs internally. To help it achieve this aim, Juhayna plans to develop a further 4,000 feddans
(4,152 acres) to expand its dairy farming activities. Management believes owning efficient
modern farms will allow it to source a greater proportion of its raw milk needs at cheaper
prices than the market averages. Egypt’s annual yield per cow is only c1,000-1,600 litres
compared with modern farms’ 9,000-12,000 litres (or 30-40 litres per day).
ii) It
now produces 76% of its juice concentrate needs, selling the excess production to third
parties, both local (such as Isis and Beyti) and export customers.
iii) It
has recently bought 2,500 feddans (2,595 acres, located in the Oasis) and plans to buy
another 7,500 feddans (7,785 acres) of arable land, which it will use to cultivate fruits for its
concentrate factories (with the excess sold to local and export markets) and animal feed for its
dairy farms.
In addition to the aforementioned upstream expansion, Juhayna has also been focusing on its
downstream processes to ensure that its products are distributed at a guaranteed quality to
consumers across Egypt.
DISTRIBUTION
A nationwide Juhayna has 20 distribution centres that are spread across Egypt, from Alexandria in the North
distribution network to Aswan in the South, and two key distributors. The distribution segment employs c43% of
Juhayna’s total workforce of 2,844 employees. It distributes to c25,000 outlets directly
through its fleet of 523 vans (294 vans adapted for dry goods and 229 for chilled goods - the
latter can carry dry goods as well), and to a further c50,000 outlets through sub-distributors. In
particular, the company uses four sub-distributors to reach remote areas. According to
MEMRB, Juhayna covers 94% of weighted retailers in the dairy segment, 75% in the yogurt
segment, and 44% in the juice segment. Major chains and large supermarkets account for
26 / 66 pages
juhayna food industries 29 July 2010
[
food and beverage │ egypt
about 18% of the company’s sales. With the exception of a small number of larger
supermarkets, Juhayna sales terms require cash payment by retailers at the time of delivery.
Juhayna is also setting up a mega-distribution centre on an area of 55,000 sqm beside its
factories in the Sixth of October City. This is expected to be completed by mid-2012 and will
act as a supplier to the existing smaller distribution centres. It will free up space in Juhayna’s
factories, thus enabling new product lines to be easily added in the future. The company
intends to acquire an additional two land plots for the same purpose (c33,000 sqm in Upper
Egypt and possibly another c30,000 sqm in Alexandria). Additionally, the company will
contract a further 100 small rural sub-distributors to reach deep rural areas and small villages.

Revenue
Juhayna’s revenue grew 38% in 2008 to EGP1.5 billion, driven by consumption growth in
packaged milk, yogurt and juice, and price increases that Juhayna applied to pass on rises in
input costs. Revenue growth decelerated in 2009 to 8%, mainly after Juhayna discontinued or
reduced sales of some low-margin businesses (for example milk school tenders). Its average
prices grew slightly, we believe, mainly on a better sales mix. The 2008-2009 revenue CAGR
was 22%.
Gross Profit
Juhayna almost maintained its gross profit margin (including export rebate) in 2008 at 25.4%
(versus 26.7% in 2007), after it increased prices to offset a rise in input costs, particularly raw
milk and packaging materials. Cost of production fell in 2009, mostly due to a decline in raw
milk prices as global commodity prices fell and, according to Juhayna’s management, partly
due to savings from the company’s 2008-2009 restructuring and resultant factory
specialisation. Juhayna, in line with the industry, refrained from cutting its prices, which
combined with its improved sales mix, has significantly improved its gross profit margin to
40%. Gross profit grew 31% in 2008 and 70% in 2009 to EGP631 million.
Juhayna reported export rebates, representing on average 10% of its total export revenues in
2007-2009. In 2008-2009, the rebate included a temporary increase that the government had
passed as part of a broader incentive scheme.
EBITDA
In 2007 and 2009, the SG&A expense to sales ratio was roughly stable at 14.6% and 15.1%,
respectively. In 2008, the ratio peaked at 16.7% mainly as a result of a one-off cost item
(excluding this EGP23 million one-off cost, SG&A expense/sales stood at 15.1%). Variable
costs account for approximately 70% of SG&A and fixed for 30%.
The 2008-2009 EBITDA CAGR was strong at 75%, with EBITDA reaching EGP393 million in
2009. The EBITDA margin also expanded strongly to 24.9% in 2009 from 12.1% in 2007 and
an exceptionally depressed 8.7% in 2008.
Net Profit
Reported net profit achieved a 2008-2009 CAGR of 108% to EGP185 million (from EGP5
million in 2008 and EGP43 million in 2007). Core operations drove most of 2009’s net profit
growth, although Juhayna also booked EGP35 million (gross) one-off gains from the sale of
50% of its stake in its real estate investment Bonian. Depreciation and interest expenses
meanwhile also surged 72% to EGP97 million and 144% to EGP125 million, respectively, in
2009, following the series of investments that Juhayna undertook in 2008 and 2009 that were
mostly debt financed.
It is worth pointing out that Juhayna’s effective tax rate is less than half of Egypt’s flat 20%
corporate tax rate at c7%, as a result of the tax exemptions that a number of its factories
currently enjoy. Some of these exemptions will expire in 2012 and the rest in 2018.

1Q2010
The company’s 1Q2010 (January-March 2010) results continued staging a strong
performance. Revenue grew 29% Y-o-Y to EGP405 million. Net profit grew more than three-
fold to EGP60 million (from EGP16 million in 1Q2009), including EGP14 million in one-off net
gain on the sale of a land plot.
Compared to FY2009 levels, the gross profit margin further improved to 42.5%, despite a
slight recovery in raw milk cost, offsetting a c300 bps expansion in the SG&A expense-to-sales
ratio to 18.0%. The EBITDA margin was therefore stable versus 2009 at 24.6%. Normalised net
profit margin (excluding capital gains and related tax) expanded to around 11.3% from around
9.9% in 2009.
2Q2010 Preview
We estimate Juhayna’s 2Q2010 net profit at EGP41 million (comparable figures for 2Q2009
were not provided by the company in the IPO prospectus). Excluding a EGP14 million capital
gain booked in 1Q2010, our net profit estimate is 11% lower Q-o-Q. Although in the dairy
and juice industry revenue should come higher in the second quarter than in the first quarter
backed by seasonality effects, we estimate revenue will come in almost flat Q-o-Q. We expect
2Q2010 revenue growth will be held back by the temporary ceasing of yogurt operations in
end-April/ early-May and lower capacity afterwards (due to the yogurt factory’s fire).
31 / 66 pages
juhayna food industries 29 July 2010
Management indicated that export revenue declined Y-o-Y in 1H2010, but expects 2H2010
exports to show Y-o-Y (and H-o-H) growth. We expect strong (double-digit) growth in local
milk and juice sales. The EBITDA margin is forecast to come under pressure at 22.3% versus
24.3% in 1Q2010, partly due to the use of higher-cost alternative yogurt production lines in
other dairy factories.
Management indicated that the yogurt factory loss will be recorded in 2Q2010 income
statement, but it will be completely netted against part of the insurance proceeds.
Seasonality
Sales of dairy and juice products peak during the summer season, and whatever period that
coincides with Ramadan. In 2007-2009, Juhayna generated on average 57% of its annual
revenue during the second half of the year. Within Juhayna’s product range, yogurt is the most
seasonal, with approximately 45 days of production for Ramadan traditionally representing
more than 30% of Juhayna’s annual yogurt production volume.

Dairy Yogurt Juice Total
We assume Juhayna’s volumes growth will be supported by a solid dairy and juice
consumption growth outlook, and more importantly, by consumers’ anticipated conversion to
packaged products, particularly milk. We expect Juhayna will grow at a lower rate than the
packaged market, especially in our later forecast years, for milk and yogurt, on increased
competition. We, meanwhile, assume that Juhayna’s juice market share will expand, owing to
the company’s strategy of taping into new, sizable market segments, which it already started
implementing in January 2010.
Our forecasts assume a faster conversion to packaged milk (from 12% to 32%) over our
forecast period than yogurt (from 50% to 63%), as industrialised packaged yogurt’s
contribution to yogurt consumption had a steep increase in recent years. Additionally,
packaged milk growth should be boosted by milk producers and the Ministry of Health efforts
to encourage packaged milk consumption through educational campaigns and the launching
of new low-tier brands.

Revenue mix
We expect dairy’s (mostly milk) revenue contribution to remain the group’s largest at 56% by
2015. We expect the contribution from yogurt to contract to 21% from 23%, while the
contribution from juice should expand to 22% from 18%.

Pricing
Juhayna’s ability to pass rising production costs onto consumers has been generally intact. We
nonetheless assume a relatively moderate annual price increase of 4-5% for milk, yogurt, and
juice, which means that our revenue growth forecast is mostly volume driven.
Our conservative price increase is slightly dented by the scheduled introduction of low-end
products, mainly for milk and juice, and, for 2010 only, by the absence of high value-added
yogurt production for few months as a result of the fire incident.

In general, our expected GPM compression is driven by: i) a recovery in raw material prices
(feed and imported milk powder price that already started increasing in 2010) from 2009’s
depressed levels, and ii) our assumption of Juhayna’s inability to entirely pass on increases in
its production cost on tougher competition (we believe competition will initially focus on
product differentiation, but eventually on price).
In 2010-2011, the expected decline in the GPM also partly reflects additional costs from the
use of old, previously discontinued, yogurt production lines in other factories as well as the
booking of pre-operating costs related to the launch of the new yogurt factory in 1Q2011.

Our GPM outlook for the different segments is slightly mixed. We assume that for milk, the
GPM will remain in line with 2009’s levels in 2010 and then decline by an average 100 bps
annually. We assume that yogurt’s GPM will decline in 2010 in the aftermath of the fire,
recover until 2012, and then decline slightly after that on competitive pressures. We assume
that juice’s GPM will actually expand in 2010, in line with 1Q2010’s performance (50%), and
start softening from 2011 to revert back to 2009’s levels.

Milk represents Juhayna’s largest cost item (feeding milk and yogurt) (46%) followed by
packaging material (26%) and manufacturing costs (13%). We assume milk cost (raw and
powder) will rebound in 2010 from 2009’s highly depressed levels (in 1Q2010, the company
reported an increase in its raw milk cost per tonne for the milk segment of 8% over 2009’s
level) and then increase by a relatively moderate rate over the rest of our forecast years.
Our assumed 2010 recovery in Juhayna’s milk cost could have been higher if it was not for the
one-year inventory of milk powder that Juhayna has mostly contracted at 2009’s weak price
levels.
Egypt’s milk prices are already high, by international standards, due to farming inefficiencies
and exceptionally low cow yield. Juhayna will continue to work at reducing this pricing
disparity (by improving efficiencies and sourcing milk from collection centres and smaller
farms that traditionally sell their milk at a discount to large farms). We assume that sourcing
raw milk from a more diversified supplier base and the usage of cheaper packaging for low-tier
products (pouches for low-tier milk brands and bottles for some juice drinks) will only partially
offset upward cost pressures that come from higher feed and milk powder prices over our
forecast period.
Our current forecast excludes any significant reductions to the cost of internally sourced raw
milk that Juhayna expects to achieve by investing in its 40% owned farm Milkes or
purchasing/acquiring other dairy and agriculture farms. Notwithstanding, we will be
incorporating such projects in our forecast once management provides detailed guidance on
their timeframe, cost and expected return.

In 1Q2010, long-term debt accounted for 55% of Juhayna’s total debt position (versus 41% in
2009), indicating that the company has been partially financing its expansion by short-term
debt. The company estimates that it pays an average interest expense of c9% on its total debt,
while its deposits (IPO proceeds) will earn at least 7%.

In 2010-2015, we forecast an attributable net profit CAGR of 32% that is mainly driven by
core operations (+16% CAGR in net operating profit) and net interest income. Our forecasts
do not include any share of profit from Milkes due to its current small size.
Once Juhayna starts to use the IPO proceeds, this will result in a decline in interest income.
Accordingly, our net profit forecasts in earlier forecast years will be adjusted downward until
new expansions start paying off.
Effective tax rate to We see our effective tax rate increasing from c7-8% to c10%-11% by 2012, when the tax
increase starting 2012 exemption currently applied to Juhayna’s second dairy factory (under Masreya) is expected to
expire. Juice and yogurt factories will be taxable starting in 2019. Currently, only the holding
company (and its dairy factory, Juhayna) and Tiba (its distribution arm) are taxable entities.
Juhayna’s management expects, having taken taxation advice, that the yogurt temporarily
produced at its Juahyna and El Masreya factories will benefit from the tax holiday previously
applicable to EgypFood and that the new factory will also enjoy the same tax holiday as the
old factory. Should there be any change to the above, this will accelerate the effective tax rate
faster than what we assumed in our forecasts.
Appropriations In 2009, Juhayna distributed most of its profits to shareholders (most of the dividends were re-
injected in the company through a capital increase), employees and the BoD. Accordingly,
Juhayna paid EGP38 million to employees (EGP21 million) and the BoD (EGP17 million).
Juhayna’s management indicated that 2009’s payments to shareholders, employees, and its
BoD were exceptional and that it will not pay an employees’ profit share in 2010 and 2011.
Our estimate takes into account that by law, once Juhayna distributes dividends to
shareholders, it has to pay employees a profit share of not less than 10% of the distributed
income and not more than the employees’ total annual salaries. These are not charged to the
income statement as per the Egyptian accounting standard, unless a company follows IFRS.
No dividend distribution Management indicated it will not pay any dividends in 2010 and 2011 to be able to pursue its
in 2010 and 2011 expansion plans. The company has not provided any guidance for dividend distribution post
2011. We forecast Juhayna will pay out 40% of its profits to shareholders starting from 2012,
rising to 70% by 2015.

Our working capital assumptions are based on Juhayna’s historical average days on hand of
two weeks for trade receivables, about three months for inventory (mostly raw and packaging
materials), and five weeks for suppliers/trade payable.
Our capex forecast mainly comprises: i) maintenance capex (on average 4% of fixed assets’
beginning balance each year), ii) production capacity additions and distribution fleet
expansion. Our forecast capacity additions are for yogurt and juice in 2013, and for milk over
2014-2015, to support the projected growth and maintain reasonable utilisation rates (taking
into account seasonality in demand and production that requires the instalment of additional
capacity), iii) our assumption of a combined additional EGP60 million that Juhayna might
spend on its new yogurt factory (during 2010 and 2011), over and above the replacement cost
that will be covered by insurance proceeds, to upgrade/expand its capacity, and iv) a terminal
capex-to-sales ratio of c5%.
An acceleration of capex spending on new projects using the IPO proceeds would result in
lower (and in some years negative) FCF in earlier years of our forecast periods compared to
what we currently assume.

2010-2015
Our 2010-2015 milk revenue estimate grows at a 20% CAGR. Most of our forecast is locally
driven, while we assume a decline in exports in 2010, followed by zero growth.
Although we expect total milk consumption growth in Egypt will not exceed 4.5% annually,
we estimate that packaged consumption will achieve a stronger CAGR of 23% as conversion
from loose to packaged milk progresses. Assisted by government-sponsored awareness
campaigns (launched last August and expected to continue into 2010) and by the introduction
of low-tier milk brands, we estimate that packaged milk will account for 32% of total
consumption by 2015, up from 12% in 2009.
In 2009-2011, we assume that Juhayna will roughly maintain its implied market share at 61-
62%, with its new low-tier brand “Halibo” (launched in May 2010) largely offsetting the
projected market share loss at the market’s mid to high-end segments.
Starting from 2012, however, we expect Juhayna’s implied market share will decline to reach
51% by 2015, on the assumption that more existing players will too enter the high-growth
41 / 66 pages

lower market end and will by then have more distribution capacity to support this. We expect
competition in the higher market end meanwhile to continue strengthening (mainly on
product differentiation, but also eventually on price).
Local cream production covers only 60% of Egypt’s cream consumption. Juhayna could
therefore potentially expand its domestic sales by substituting some imported cream products,
while also exporting in small quantities.

Juhayna may look to expand its cheese offering in the future, but it has not specified any
medium-term expansion plans. Our relatively conservative stance on Juhayna’s market
position is also reflective of a tough competitive landscape and its weaker brand equity versus
other specialised domestic players. This area might surprise positively, if the company
succeeds in collecting new cheese brands under its umbrella/launching new products.

2010
Decline in yogurt revenue, April’s fire has destroyed most of Juhayna’s yogurt capacity, but the company targets to
results in market share loss exceed 2009’s volume of 42,000 tonnes by: i) revitalising some old production lines (since May
2010), previously discontinued and placed in other factories, and ii) using new machines that
are scheduled for delivery between July 2010 and early 2011. On average, we assume that
Juhayna will have available capacity of 74,000 tonnes for the year, and will be able to produce
38,000 tonnes (implying a 13% discount to Juhayna’s target as we factor in potential delays in
the commissioning of production by old lines, or delays in the delivery/installation of new
machines).
We expect Egypt’s packaged yogurt consumption to grow 12% in 2010 (slightly limited by
supply shortage from Juhayna versus 46% growth in 2009). Juhayna’s implied market share
accordingly should fall by eight percentage points to 33.5% in 2010 from 41.4% in 2009. We
also assume an 11% decline in 2010 revenue as Juhayna focuses on low-priced, plain
spoonable and drinkable yogurt (that accounts for approximately 75% of its total production),
while production of higher-priced, value-added yogurt (Actilife, fruit, and mix) remains
suspended for part of the year.
2011-2015
We forecast a strong recovery in 2011, with Juhayna’s volume reaching 53,000 tonnes and
revenue surging 47% helped by an improved sales mix. In 2011-2015, we assume a revenue
CAGR of 26% that is driven by: i) the re-launch of the yogurt factory in 1Q2011 (March).
Juhayna also plans to roll out an aggressive promotional campaign, while it will likely be
introducing new yogurt SKUs (flavours and package sizes), ii) a 22% CAGR forecast for
packaged yogurt consumption that is based on a 16% CAGR for total consumption (packaged
and loose), and fourteen percentage points expansion in the packaged-to-total consumption
ratio (to 63% by 2015, from an estimated 49% in 2010), and iii) a decline in Juhayna’s implied
market share to 30.0% by 2015; we assume that Juhayna will not recoup its entire 2010
market share loss.

2007-2009
Juhayna’s juice revenue grew at a 17% CAGR in 2008-2009, driven by 10% growth in volume
and 7% expansion in prices. Its local volume growth in 2008 was better than the total market,
but in 2009 it was well below at 3% versus 20%. This was mainly due to unfavourable
consumption shifts favouring lower-priced juice drinks (drinks represented 41% of 2009 total
juice consumption, up from 26% in 2008) that Juhayna did not offer up until end-2009.
Juhayna’s implied market share accordingly fell to 21%, down from 24% in 2008 and 23% in
2007.
2010-2015
Our 2010-2015 estimated revenue CAGR rises to 24% mainly on domestic consumption,
while we assume export revenue to remain almost flat, representing on average only 2% of
juice revenue.
We assume that Juhayna’s implied market share will expand four percentage points, reaching
25% by 2015, up from 21% in 2009, as it maintains its leadership in the pure and nectar juice
categories, and acquires share in the growing juice drinks category, which it had tapped into,
more aggressively, during end-2009/early 2010.
Egypt’s juice market is highly fragmented due to its low entry barriers. We nonetheless believe
that Juhayna is amongst the most favourably positioned, on the basis of its brand equity,
quality, reach and distribution synergies with milk and yogurt.

V. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
A young industry and a The packaged dairy industry effectively began in the 1980s with the entrance of the private
growing market… sector, with several major producers (including Juhayna and Enjoy) coming onto the scene.
Prior to this, the packaged dairy market was relatively small and dominated by the public
sector. Most dairy companies also produce juice, as both products often use similar
production, packaging and distribution logistics. In Egypt, the main drivers for growth in the
packaged dairy and juice market include: i) a strong demographic profile - a large and young
population with a high growth rate, ii) room for per capita consumption to grow from its
relatively low levels; and, most importantly, and iii) increased penetration as a result of a
growing consumer trend away from loose products and towards healthier and packaged
products.
… offering opportunities to Over the past few years, the market has evolved from being dominated by local players to a
the fittest and the largest mix of local, regional and international players. This was accompanied by some consolidation
(including acquisitions by private equity funds) and vertical integration to secure raw materials
(raw milk, fruits and animal feed) and control and expand distribution channels. The yogurt
and, more recently, milk segments have seen the highest levels of activity. As a result, local
leadership of the market has been threatened. Today, the yogurt segment is less concentrated,
and we believe this will eventually be the case for packaged milk, as the conversion rate from
loose to packaged products accelerates. We believe that packaged dairy producers will need to
focus on: i) tapping into all highly consumed dairy and juice categories - which we believe is
likely to fuel acquisitions of smaller players that have strength in one category only, ii)
investing in research and development to offer a full product spectrum in each category and
respond quickly to changes in consumer preferences - something that local players focused
less on prior to the entry of foreign players, and iii) controlling supply and distribution
channels.
MILK
Milk consumption
Egypt’s total milk consumption grew at a CAGR of c4-5% in 2008-2009 and is forecast to
continue to grow at this rate through to 2014. The total milk market size in Egypt reached 1.5
million tonnes in 2009, according to the Middle East Marketing Research Bureau (MEMRB). At
21kg per capita per annum, Egypt’s milk consumption is significantly below the world average
of c50kg, and comes in at the lower end of the range of developing countries as well.

CHEESE
Size and Growth
The cheese segment is the second largest segment, following milk, in the dairy market. Total
cheese consumption in Egypt grows at 3-4% annually. In 2009, it reached 453,000 tonnes,
according to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI). Cheese is essential to
the typical Egyptian diet, with per capita consumption standing at 5.6kg per year, higher than
the world’s average of 4.6kg per annum.
White cheese is favoured The most popular type of cheese in Egypt is feta cheese (a soft white cheese), which is one of
in Egyptian cuisine the least expensive cheeses. The total soft white cheese market (artisanal and packaged
production) grew at a CAGR of 14% in 2008-2009. This growth is underpinned by an increase
in supply and the number of manufacturers, as well as consumers economising by shifting
away from more expensive food items. Consumption of soft white cheese is expected to grow
by an average of 10% in 2010-2011.
The production of cheese requires additional processing to milk. This partly explains why the
conversion rate to packaged cheese, at four percentage points per year, is higher than the milk
conversion rate of 1-2%. In addition, major soft white cheese producers in Egypt pre-package
their products and have capitalised on the importance of appealing to traditional consumers
by selling their cheese in a semi-packaged format (wrapped in plastic and often presented on a
tray, similar to loose white cheese, in refrigerators).

YOGURT
In 2009, total yogurt consumption was c203,000 tonnes, nearly 2.6kg per capita. This is
relatively low compared to Saudi Arabia’s 4.9kg per capita, Tunisia’s 6.6kg per capita and
Oman’s 7.2kg per capita. This is partly explained by the differences in habits, with yogurt an
essential component of daily cuisine in Saudi Arabia, but less so in Egypt. The total yogurt
market grew at an average 18% in 2008-2009. Industrial-packaged yogurt comprises nearly
50% of yogurt consumption and is segmented into “spoonable” yogurt and “drinkable” yogurt
(similar to buttermilk).
Here to stay; strong, market There is only a 10% difference in the price of industrial-packaged yogurt and loose (primitively
growth, despite a short-lived packaged) yogurt. This is due to the fact that loose yogurt is also sold at retail outlets, and
slowdown retailers add their fixed costs onto the price (whereas milk peddlers do not incur these fixed
costs). This similarity in price may explain the greater proportion of industrial-packaged yogurt
consumption compared to milk. Additionally, the entrance of international players (Danone
and Lactel-Nestlé) resulted in the yogurt market expanding and seeing a quicker conversion to
packaged products. International companies encouraged this conversion by introducing several
value-added products (such as light, digestive and flavoured products). As a result, value-added
products’ share of the total packaged market climbed to 13% in 2009 from 8% in 2008, and is
expected to reach 20% in 2010. In addition, international players have launched several
advertising campaigns to change the Egyptian consumer mindset to perceive yogurt as part of
their daily cuisine throughout the year, rather than mainly in Ramadan (this process was also
helped by the new value-added products). Accordingly, the conversion rate from loose yogurt
to packaged yogurt was a considerably high nine percentage points in 2009.
We expect this high conversion rate to packaged products to be sustained in the medium
term. However, we expect a short-lived deceleration of growth in 2010’s packaged market, as
the total loss of Juhayna’s main yogurt factory in a fire (in April 2010) is likely to cause a
supply shortage during the peak season of Ramadan.

PACKAGED JUICE
Egypt’s per capita consumption of packaged juice falls short of international and regional
comparables by a significant amount, at 2.8 litres per capita per annum versus a regional
average of 15kg per capita per annum. The packaged fruit juice market is relatively immature
and highly fragmented, presenting significant opportunities for growth and penetration.

Growth rates remain The packaged juice market in Egypt has seen considerable growth over the past few years, with
intact a CAGR of 18% in 2006-2009 to reach 218,000 tonnes. Nevertheless, the size of the juice
market is tiny in comparison to the carbonated soft drinks market, which is nearly ten times
larger. The disparity may be due to extensive marketing efforts by the soft drink giants, such as
PepsiCo and Coca Cola, which has not been matched by juice producers, as well as consumer
preference. Another reason may be the prevalence of fruit juice shops (fruits are squeezed or
pressed on demand) as well as the ease of making fresh fruit juice at home.
The packaged juice market can either be segmented by packaging type or by fruit content.
Recently, juice packaged in cartons has gained popularity in comparison to juice in pouches. In
terms of categorisation by content, juice drinks (at least 10% fruit content) surged recently at
the expense of a decline in the nectar segment (at least 25% fruit content).

Conversion to packaged milk The acceleration of the conversion to packaged products in Egypt will chiefly depend on mid
to accelerate; helped by the to low-income families, taking several factors into consideration: i) GDP per capita is relatively
launch of low-price low in Egypt at cEGP14,910 (USD2,735), and average annual household spending stands at
products… approximately EGP17,600 (or cEGP1,500 per month), ii) nearly 57% of the population lives in
rural areas with even lower spending per household, and iii) the population is young (38%
below the age of 14 and 27% between 15-29) and growing (79 million in FY2009-2010
growing at c2% annually), indicating a high family formation rate. Accordingly, the availability
of low-priced packaged milk is essential to accelerate the conversion from loose to packaged
products. Several producers have launched/plan to launch low-tier brands at a price matching
that of loose milk sold in retail stores (with the addition of some milk powder to lower costs).
However, those dependent on milk peddlers, particularly in rural areas, are less likely to
convert as peddlers usually sell at a much lower price.

… and awareness There was a renewed public-private partnership between the Ministry of Health (MoH) and
campaigns dairy companies, with a budget of EGP4 million in August-December 2009, campaigning to
raise awareness of the dangers of loose milk. The MoH became involved as a significant
portion of its budget is currently spent on health problems stemming from loose milk
consumption. The campaign included educational seminars targeting school-aged children and
television advertising targeting adult consumers, especially mothers. A second wave of this
campaign was launched earlier this year and is expected to continue for three years.
A similar awareness campaign proved successful in Turkey, where packaged milk consumption
increased from 32% in 2002 to 60% in 2009. The campaigns were led by TetraPak (a global
leader in carton packaging) in partnership with the MoH and milk producers, and were
communicated through television, advertising and educational seminars. In Egypt, we believe
there is significant growth potential for packaged products from the current low level of 12%
of total milk consumption. However, it is likely that such conversion will materialise at a
slower rate compared to Turkey, as a result of Egypt’s sizable rural population, low per capita
income, and high disparity of income distribution.
Egypt’s inflation soared in 2008, driven by increases in global prices, particularly food. This
encouraged the government to adopt measures to increase the affordability of food products,
such as reducing tariffs on some imported food items, banning exports of some products, and
increasing subsidies. Applying price caps on private sector products was not a common
practice.
Inflation has fallen slower than expected since the beginning of the crisis, owing to food price
inflation (stemming from poor harvests). However, inflation is expected to remain muted in
2010 compared to 2008’s peak levels, due to slower growth and the expected absence of food
price shocks.

RAW MILK
Dairy faming
Raw milk supply dominated by Egypt’s total number of milking cows reached c1.6 million in 2009. The number of milking
small-scale farms cows has grown at a relatively sluggish rate due to the government’s previous imposition of a
ban on imported pregnant heifers (mainly from Canada, the United States, and Europe). This
ban also resulted in a very low yield per cow of c1, 000-1,600 litres per year (refer to Figure
87), due to a low replacement rate of cows with a subpar yield. In 2008, however, the Egyptian
government lifted this ban, and we expect dairy farms will begin to import higher quality cows.
This should increase not only the animal headcount, but also the yield per cow, both of which
are currently lower than the average in developing countries as well as the overall world
average.
Small-scale farms dominate the Egyptian dairy farm landscape, nearly 95% of the total c4,900
farms have 30 cows or less. Only six farms own more than 1,000 cows. The largest dairy farm
in Egypt is Dina Farms, which has over 6,000 cows, and plans to increase its herd size to
10,000 by 2012. The other modern farms are smaller in scale, including Juhayna’s 40% owned
Milkes Dairy Company with an estimated 1,600 milking cows by end-2010. Yield per cow and
milk quality in these state-of-the-art farms are more on a par with international competitors,
as they import higher quality cows (such as the Holstein-Friesian breed) and are more efficient
compared to the small, old farms.

Despite the efforts of this committee, there is an ongoing tug of war between dairy farmers
and producers over the price of raw milk, particularly at times of higher feed prices. Most dairy
companies recently increased the price they pay to large- and medium-sized dairy farms to
EGP2.6/litre from EGP2.4/litre to factor in the impact of the higher cost of producing raw milk
in the summer (as cow yields decline due to the hot weather). However, this was lower than
the price requested by the farms of EGP2.8/litre. Accordingly, we believe the pricing
committee doesn’t have the authority to enforce prices.
The government does not provide subsidies to dairy farms. In 2009, the Ministry of Agriculture
agreed in principal to provide an EGP100 million subsidy to compensate farmers, therefore
allowing producers to buy milk at a lower price. However, the subsidy has not yet materialised.

Feed prices are a key In 2007, commodity prices began to escalate, mainly on the back of soaring oil prices and
factor in determining speculative trading. Corn, typically an indicator of feed price trends and used itself as animal
raw milk prices feed, is also used in the production of ethanol and as an ingredient in consumer goods (corn
oil, syrup, starch, etc.). The price of corn spiked in 2007 due to: i) governments (including the
US) earmarking subsidies to support ethanol as a clean-fuel alternative, in the context of high
oil prices, which led to a shortage of corn available for feed, ii) a surge in emerging countries’
demand, in line with rising incomes, and iii) poor weather conditions depleting global grain
stocks that were being used as corn substitutes. The increase in corn prices eventually affected
the dairy industry, albeit with a slight lag, resulting in decreasing global milk production and
increasing milk prices, particularly in the major milk producing countries such as the US and
New Zealand. Corn and alfalfa hay prices, both used as animal feed, peaked in 2008 and fell in
2009 following the global economic recession. For 2010, the United States’ Department of
Agriculture (USDA) expects corn and alfalfa prices to remain below their peak 2008 levels.
The effect of changes in feed prices on the dairy industry is lagged, as dairy companies
typically purchase their feed stock in bulk several times during the year. Figure 90 shows that
the impact of feed price shocks on dairy prices are smoothed out with a slight delay. We
expect animal feed prices will continue to rise in the future due to increased demand,
particularly at times of improved economic conditions.

Milk powder is produced mainly in countries that are large exporters of milk, such as New
Zealand, the European Union countries and the United States. Fonterra, a New Zealand-based
multinational company, is a cooperative owned by over 10,000 farmers. It is the world’s
largest milk powder producer and controls nearly 30% of the world’s dairy exports. In addition,
Fonterra prompted the formation of a futures market for trading whole milk powder. Pricing
has shown a domino effect, with other milk powder producers seemingly following Fonterra’s
price increases/decreases.

Pace of consolidation Recently, there has been a wave of new entrants and market consolidation in Egypt’s juice and
and integration picks up dairy market, highlighted by:
i) In
June 2009 the Egyptian private equity company, Citadel Capital, completed the acquisition
of Enjoy (Nile Company for Food Industries) through its regional agri-food platform, Gozour,
from Haykala. The acquisition allowed Enjoy to take advantage of distribution network
synergies as well as being able to source packaging and raw materials (sugar, fruit and milk)
from sister organisations. Gozour also owns Dina Farms, the largest dairy farm in Egypt, and El-
Misriyeen, a key producer of white cheese.
ii) In
October 2009, Almarai and PepsiCo’s joint venture, International Dairy, and Juice Limited
(IDJ), acquired Beyti (International Company for Agro-Industrial Projects). With an investment
of EGP100 million planned to restructure operations and expand capacity, Beyti is set to
benefit from Almarai’s expertise and the availability of finance. Beyti may also create its own
farm in the medium term.
iii) Lactalis
acquired Nestlé’s yogurt business in Egypt and now sells under the Lactel and Nestlé
brand names.
The acquisitions of Enjoy and Beyti were made on a price /sales range of 3x-4x.

GUIDE TO ANALYSIS
EFG Hermes investment research is based on fundamental analysis of companies and stocks, the sectors that they are exposed to, as well as the country and
regional economic environment.
Effective 16 December 2009, EFG Hermes changed its investment rating approach to a three-tier, long-term rating approach, taking total return potential together
with any applicable dividend yield into consideration.
In special situations, EFG Hermes may assign a rating for a stock that is different from the one indicated by the 12-month expected return relative to the
corresponding fair value.
For the 12-month long-term ratings for any investment covered in our research, the ratings are defined by the following ranges in percentage terms:
EFG Hermes policy is to update research reports when appropriate based on material changes in a company’s financial performance, the sector outlook, the general
economic outlook, or any other changes which could impact the analyst’s outlook or rating for the company. Share price volatility may cause a stock to move
outside of the longer-term rating range to which the original rating was applied. In such cases, the analyst will not necessarily need to adjust the rating for the stock
immediately. However, if a stock has been outside of its longer-term investment rating range consistently for 30 days or more, the analyst will be encouraged to
review the rating.
