is ophthalmology and they didn’t drop the other industries but they maintained focusing
on one sector which might affect them in the long run if the industry been crashed.

Political exposure:
The company has a huge political exposure. The company exports their product to countries
that faces a huge political risks. Iraq, north Africa and Algeria is the main exposure they
have. And slightly lower exposure in Egypt and turkey. 9.2% of the total company sales in
2022 were in Iraq. That portion of sales is in huge exposure and might vanish in any time. On
the other hand Iraq is expected to grow the fastest at a CAGR of 5.9% to reach SAR9.2
billion (or US$2.5 billion) driven by the Government’s push to increase investments and
accessibility. And that gives a huge potential to grow their net income. North Africa also have
these political issues but they have a huge gap in the industry so it worth the risks that they
are taking.
Economic exposure:
The main economic issue in the countries that they sell in is the inflation. Inflation can affect
that currency and also can affect the currency exchange to SAR. Turkey inflation rate in 2022
was 72.3% and the currency dropped almost 30% to USD and that makes it hard to move the
money with that amount of loss. Egypt also had the same currency issue when they depleted
their reserves instead of counting on the USD. And the money supply last two years were
very high that also affected the currency and makes it difficult to move the money to other
currencies.
Governance
The company committed to the standers that is requirements by the CMA, Governance Regulations
issued by the Capital Market Authority, to manage the relationship between the Board of Directors,
executive directors, And shareholders.

Power of buyers
The number of buyers is very high because it is a drug company located in 36 countries, so it
is not possible to negotiate prices and payment dates .
Competitive rivalry
Jamjoom faces fierce competition in the inner range of (Spimaco and Tabuk).
Spimaco is the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing company, with a production capacity of
approximately 2.4 billion units annually and a 14% market share in the general medicine
category. Its market share for government tenders is 9%, while Jamjoom has a market share
of 1%. However, Spimaco's lower profit margins are attributed to its lower investments in
research and development expenses. In the last 5 years, it allocated only 2% of its revenues
to research and development, while Jamjoom allocates 5%. Including in its portfolio there are
strong brands such as Vivadol and sapofen .
Tabuk is the second largest pharmaceutical factory in the Kingdom, with a production
capacity equal to 2 billion units annually. Its market share in government tenders is
approximately 8%. Tabuk focuses on manufacturing generic formulas for patented brands
such as Nexium.

Analysis:
Anticipated to commence production in the latter half of 2023, Jamjoom is expanding its
production capabilities. The company, with an efficient primary facility in Jeddah operating at 85%
utilization (as of June 2022), is constructing two additional facilities. One, situated in Egypt, boasts
an annual production capacity of 52 million, while the other, a sterile facility in Jeddah, has an
annual production capacity of 25 million (see Appendix A1). This expansion is set to elevate the
total annual production capacity to 190 million by the end of this year. Additionally, with the
introduction of these new factories, we are increasing our growth expectations, positioning
ourselves to meet rising demand and efficiently export products to North African markets.
As of COGS JP sees that they won’t need more human force in their two new facilities. So
because of that we expect COGS to remain with the same growth rate and we don’t expect
surprising figures in there. And by stabling COGS growth rate that will directly affect the net
income. As a prominent pharmaceutical manufacturer in Saudi Arabia, the Company holds a
noteworthy position in the market. In the ophthalmic segment (see Appendix C2), one of the five
key areas, the Company secured a market share of 20.6% in 2021G, as highlighted in a market
study report by the Market Consultant in August 2022G. Jamjoom’s market share growth is
influenced by societal and macroeconomic trends, such as the increasing prevalence of generic
medicines and the Company’s belief in the strong performance of its products due to customer
preferences. The Company’s market position is further strengthened by government-led initiatives
and investments in the local healthcare and manufacturing sectors, aligning with the Vision 2030
objectives. The demand is expected to increase due to the government’s inclination to boost the
population, further contributing to the Company’s growth prospects. This national strategy aims to
enhance private sector involvement in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s economy. Pharmaceutical
manufacturing holds a central role in the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program,
targeting a 40% domestic production of all pharmaceuticals consumed in the country, up from the
current approximate 30%. This governmental support serves as a significant boost for the
Company as a leading domestic manufacturer, positioning it to gain additional market share in the
coming years.
While our expectation is not for a substantial increase in the company’s market share, there is an
expectation of significant overall growth in the sector’s value. On the other hand JP was building
two factories in the same time and that will burn more cash that ever before. Due to that we
expect that the next 3 years they wont generate a lot of cash, but in the long run they will have
more and more than previous years. Also inventory will rise due to the two new facilities and that
will help delivering products fast and recognizing the revenue faster than before. In term of
payables the company sees that they don’t expect any surprises and they are trying to maintain
these numbers without taking it further much more. But the receivables in 2023 were significantly
higher than previous years and according to the financial statements of Jamjoom, they faced an
increasing in account receivable with approximately 40m SAR, due to the sales growth, seasonal
variations which they had experience fluctuations in sales level during the year, and the finished
goods that have not yet been exported from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, which we can consider it as a
customer delays. in Perpetuity and exit EBITDA multiple approaches we used a 4.5% (see
Appendix B2) risk free rate because of the expectations of deducting the interest rates starting
from Q1 2024. Beta was taken from the largest companies in the world to have more accurate
close beta that we can rely on. And the cost of debt after tax that is because the debt was taken
from Egypt and there average tax rate is 8%. The industry average P/E ratio in 22.52 so we used
Jamjoom Pharma
Pharmaceuticals: Healthcare

that multiple in the P/E valuation. After having all of these results and because the DCF model is
more accurate to evaluate JP we gave it the highest weights and the multiples were lower. Our
target price is 94.26 SAR (see Appendix F3) and for now the company is sell.
Key Risks
Risk relating to the company’s supply chain:
To make medicines, a company needs specific ingredients called APIs and other raw
materials. These ingredients must come from approved sources regulated by health
authorities. Among all the materials needed, APIs are the most important.
In the medicine industry, there aren't many suppliers for some of these key ingredients.
Sometimes, a company has to depend on just one or a few suppliers for these essential
ingredients. The company tries to have more than one reliable supplier for most
products, but it's not always possible because there aren't many suppliers available in
the industry.
Risks related to the complexity of manufacturing the Company's products:
The company works hard to make really good medicines for its customers. Making these
medicines is tough because there are strict rules the company has to follow. They use
complicated machines and computer systems to help them make the medicines and talk
to others about getting the right stuff, checking the quality, and sending the medicines
out.
Sometimes, things can go wrong when making these medicines. It could be because the
machines break, rules aren't followed correctly, the materials used aren't good, or other
problems like bad weather. If the problems are serious, the company might have to stop
making some or all of its medicines until they fix the issues.
Saudi Arabia. In addition, the country is facing high levels of population growth. Together,
these circumstances pose a significant risk to the Company's business, financial position,
operating results and future prospects.
The Company's performance is also influenced by various economic factors, such as the
availability of consumer credit, interest rates, unemployment rates, wage levels, tax
rates, costs associated with water and electricity consumption, and the potential removal
of government subsidies for certain materials. Changes in these factors can affect
consumer spending and demand for the Company's products. Failure to adapt to market
changes can have a negative and substantial impact on the Company's business,
financial position, operating results, and prospects.
Moreover, many countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, are currently
experiencing political and security instability. The Company's oprations can be adversely
affected by negative diplomatic relations, economic and political conditions, or other
factors in these countries or other nations. Such factors can also impact the overall
economy, foreign direct investment, and financial markets in Saudi Arabia, further
affecting the Company's business, operating results, financial position, and prospects.
Any unexpected significant changes in the political, economic, or legal environment in
Saudi Arabia, other Middle Eastern countries, or countries from which the Company
sources its products, including market fluctuations, recessions, insolvency, employment
weakness, technological shifts, or other developments, can also have an adverse effect
on the Company.
Additionally, substantial changes in tax or trade policies, tariffs, or trade relations
between Saudi Arabia and other countries, as well as alterations in local policies such as
the imposition of unilateral tariffs on imported products or negative sentiments towards
Saudi Arabia due to increased import tariffs and changes in trade regulations, can result
in increased costs for the Company, limited access to suppliers, and reduced economic
activity.
If any of the aforementioned factors occur, they will significantly and unfavorably impact
the Company's business, operating results, financial condition, and future prospects.
