Investment Research Reason: Estimates Revision 6 December 2012

Adverse macro environment and pending regulatory decisions retain uncertainty

Following a revision of our SOTP valuation model, our target price for Mytilineos

Holdings is retained at EUR 4.00 as our more conservative valuation for

Aluminium of Greece (AoG) has been offset by an improved valuation for Metka.

Given that the share price has increased by c.50% since July, we have

downgraded our recommendation to Accumulate from Buy. Despite the negative

domestic economic environment, we expect the group to begin a significant

deleveraging process next year on low capex requirements and solid operating

cash flow generation. In addition, Mytilineos group remains well positioned to

benefit substantially from an improved economic environment and pending

regulatory decisions. The main short-term risks, in our view, are the continuation

of the debt crisis and the high energy costs that AoG is currently facing.

We reiterate our Buy recommendation on Metka lifting the target price to EUR 12.70

from EUR 11.90 previously. Despite the delays witnessed in Syria, Metka’s strategy to

penetrate new markets in Africa and Middle East bears fruits as demonstrated by the

signing of new energy contracts. In addition, the company enjoys a strong balance sheet

with an estimated net cash position of more than EUR 200m by the end of 2013. As we

assume that the plant construction in Syria will resume in 2014, we have revised

downwards our estimates for 2012, expecting sales, EBITDA and net income of EUR

568m, EUR 98m and EUR 71m respectively. On the other hand, we have upgraded our

2013 estimates on two new energy projects in Jordan and the extension of a defense

contract, forecasting sales, EBITDA and net income of EUR 523m, EUR 87m and EUR

60m respectively.

On the flip side, we have lowered AoG’s EV by 28% to EUR 172m previously on high

energy costs, aggravated by the recently imposed natural gas levy, and mediocre

aluminium spot prices, mitigated by strong premiums. Against this background, we

forecast for 2012 EBITDA of EUR 9.5m (-57% YoY) from EUR 11.3m estimated

previously. For 2013 we assume that EBITDA will recover to EUR 29m (vs. our previous

estimate of EUR 48m) on improved margins, however, we note that material risks still

exist due to a combination of global macro headwinds and increasing smelter capacity in

China. A positive decision on electricity tariff arising from the arbitration procedure which

is in progress, the long awaited approval of commercial terms for the operation of the

cogeneration unit and the potential reduction of the natural gas levy would significantly

improve AOG’s position on the industry cost curve.

Weak electricity demand has prompted us to lower energy division’s 2012 EBITDA by

25% to EUR 53m and 2013 EBITDA by 16% to EUR 66m. In addition, the whole energy

value chain faces liquidity pressures caused by electricity market’s structural problems,

which however are expected to gradually be eliminated following recently announced

measures. We retain a conservative stance for the division’s valuation estimating an EV

of EUR 696m.

For 2012 we forecast group sales, EBITDA and net income of EUR 1,456m, EUR 158m

and EUR 17.7m compared to our previous estimates of EUR 1,550m, EUR 189m and

EUR 48m respectively, reflecting our lower estimates for Metka and energy division.

Regarding 2013, despite our higher estimates for Metka, we also reduce group EBITDA

by c.10% to EUR 183m due to our more conservative estimates for AoG and energy. In

addition, given the challenging financing environment, we have increased group’s interest

expenses, resulting in a c.63% decline of our 2013 net income estimate to EUR 26m. On

a positive note, group net debt is seen declining substantially next year to EUR 542m

from EUR 672m in 2012.

Group revised forecasts

Below we show our headline forecast changes for Mytilineos holdings in the period 2012-

2014. Specifically, for 2012 we forecast group sales, EBITDA and net income of EUR

1,456m, EUR 158m and EUR 17.7m compared to our previous estimates of EUR 1,550m,

EUR 189m and EUR 48m respectively, reflecting our lower estimates for Metka and energy

division. Regarding 2013, despite our higher estimates for Metka, we also reduce group

EBITDA by c.10% to EUR 183m due to our more conservative estimates for AoG and

energy. In addition, given the challenging financing environment, we have increased group’s

interest expenses by c.50%, resulting in a c.63% decline of our 2013 net income estimate to

EUR 26m. As we expect conditions to start normalizing in 2014, we have revised upwards

our EBITDA estimate to EUR 210m, however high interest expenses should continue to

take its toll on bottom line despite the projected balance sheet deleveraging.

Aluminium S.A. (AoG)

The operating environment remains challenging

Amid an adverse domestic macroeconomic environment, the global environment is also challenging for AoG which faces a significant squeeze in its margins due to a combination of high energy costs, aggravated by the recently imposed natural gas levy, and depressed metal prices, mitigated by strong premiums. According to our estimates, under current market conditions and prevailing regulation in the Greek electricity market, AoG’s smelter is not competitive enough (we estimate a current aluminium cash cost of USD 2,240/ton placing AoG’s smelter between the third and fourth quartile on the industry curve). In this framework, a positive decision on electricity tariff from the arbitration procedure which is in progress and the approval of the commercial terms for the operation of the cogeneration unit will be crucial as they would significantly improve smelter’s position on the industry curve. Furthermore, a potential reduction of the natural gas levy (this measure is included in energy regulator’s proposals for the restructuring of the electricity market operation ) would also helpful in reducing the energy cost. In the meantime, synergies with the Mytilineos group and an aggressive cost cutting programme launched by management proactively should provide enough support to the company to continue to operate in the current adverse environment.

Valuation

Our revised DCF valuation on AoG yields a total EV value of EUR 172m from EUR 239m

previously or an equity value of EUR 77m from EUR 123m previously. The DCF exercise is

based on a WACC of 13.5%, using a beta of 1.70, a risk premium of 4% plus 3% for country

risk premium, a risk free rate of 4.5%, an after tax cost of borrowing of 6.8% and a target

capital gearing ratio of 30%.

AoG’s valuation is highly sensitive to aluminium price, EUR/USD exchange rate and

electricity price. For each USD 100/ton change in the aluminium price, our valuation would

change by c.115%, other things equal. For each 1.0 US cent change, our valuation would

change by c.20%, other things equal. For each EUR 1.0/MWh change in the electricity cost,

our valuation would change by c.16%, other things equal.

METKA

New contracts offset Syria delays

In our updated estimates for Metka’s turnover, we have proceeded to the following changes:

a) we have incorporated two new energy contracts in Jordan with a total budget of EUR

202m to be implemented in the period 2013-2015, b) we have assumed that the

construction of the power plant project in Syria, which has been suspended due to the

conditions prevailing in the country, will restart in 2014 assigning zero contribution in the

period from 2H12 to the end of 2013, c) we have incorporated a new defence contract with

a total value of USD 36.5m to be implemented by July 2014, d) we have fine-tuned our

estimates with respect to the timeframe of the implementation of two power plants in

Turkey. The suspension of the construction in Syria in combination with a small delay in one

of the projects in Turkey has resulted in lowering our 2012 sales estimate to EUR 568m

from EUR 701m previously. Specifically, in our revised estimates, Syria is expected to

contribute to 2012 sales EUR 136m, which is about half from our previous estimate. Given

that about 75% of the project has been completed (the remaining work mainly relates to

assembly and start up), we believe that there is low risk that it will not be completed despite

the current uncertain environment. On the other hand, we continue to adopt a conservative

stance with respect to the second awarded 724 MW plant in Syria, with a budget of EUR

678m, excluding it from our estimates as this project is in an early phase. Overall, as the

new projects in Jordan and the new defense contract have more than offset the delay in

Syria, we have increased our 2013 sales estimates to EUR 523m from EUR 505m

previously.

Below we provide details of Metka’s current backlog:

a) PEEGT (Syria): 700 MW CCGT power plant in Syria assigned by the Syrian government to Metka/Ansaldo partnership. We currently assume that the construction will restart in 2014 with the remaining amount estimated at EUR 150m.

b) RWE-Turcas (Turkey): 775 MW CCGT power plant in Turkey with RWE & Turcas Guney Elektrik Uretim, a JV of German utility RWE and locally-based energy company Turcas Petrol. We note that in the above JV, RWE holds 70% share and Turcas 30%. The total investment sum amounts to approximately EUR 500m. This project is well on track and is expected to be completed within 2013.

c) OMV (Turkey): 870 MW CCGT plant in Samsun in Turkey. Metka and Power Projects (Metka’s 100% local subsidiary) have been awarded a contract by BORASCO (100% subsidiary of OMV Power International GmbH) for the construction and supply of equipment for a total budget of the project about EUR 475m. This project is also expected to be completed within 2013.

d Republic of Iraq: 1,250 MW power plant in Shat-Al-Basra for a budget of USD 349m and

with delivery time of two years. The key equipment will be supplied by GE. The project was

expected to begin in 2012 and completed next year.

e) Algeria: This project concerns the engineering, procurement, installation and

commissioning of 6 sets of Balance of Plant equipment trailer mounted, which will be

installed at 3 sites in Algeria. The project will be materialized on a fast-track schedule, and

has contract value of USD 43.95m and Dinars 10.9m. Although this is a small-scale project,

management believes that it has entered a promising market. It was expected to be

completed this year.

f) SEPCO (Jordan): This project concerns a USD 155m contract to increase the capacity of Samra Electric Power Co.’s plant in Jordan by 143 MW. The upgrade will be carried out within 28 months.

g) SEPCO (Jordan): A second energy project was awarded by Samra Electric Power Co. (SEPCO) with a contract value of USD 104m. The new project will be carried out on a fast-

track basis, with commercial operation expected at the end of June 2013 in order to provide electricity to the network during next summer.

h) Defence contract: Metka has signed a new defense contract with a total value of about USD 36.5m, extending a previous contract for manufacture of Patriot defense systems. The project is expected to be concluded by July 2014. Keep in mind that defense projects carry a higher operating margin compared to the margin of energy projects.

2012 EPS lowered by 16%, but 2013 EPS lifted by 21%

The delays in Syria resulted in a downwards revision of our 2013 EPS estimate by 16%. On

the other hand, our modest increase in our 2012 sales estimates combined with a higher

EBITDA margin (16.7% vs. 14% previously) led to a 21% increase of 2013 EPS estimate.

Valuation

Following our new estimates and the rollover of the DCF model by one year, we have lifted

our target price to EUR 12.70 from EUR 11.90 previously, reiterating our Buy

recommendation. The DCF model is based on a WACC of 12.9%, using a beta of 1.20, a

risk premium of 4% plus 3% for country’s significant exposure to emerging markets, a risk

free rate of 4.5% and an after tax cost of borrowing of 5.3%. The terminal value is based on

an average turnover level of EUR 425m and EBITDA margin of 14.5%. The completion of

major energy projects in the period 2013-2014 together with our assumption for a lower

average turnover in the following years, leading to positive working capital, is expected to

lead to a significant cash accumulation. Specifically, we estimate that the company’s net

cash position will be enhanced at about EUR 220m at the end of 2013 and at EUR 280m at

the end of 2014 from an estimated net cash of EUR 126m at the end of 2012.

Revised forecasts

The short-term outlook remains uncertain due to the negative macro environment, structural problems in the operation of the electricity market and pending regulatory decisions. The adverse macro environment has taken its toll on electricity demand which in combination with higher energy costs has pressed spark spreads. Given the projections for an at least 4.5% decline in real GDP in 2013, demand is likely to remain at mediocre levels next year, although the impact is likely to be mitigated by a higher expected use of air-conditioning during winter as a result of higher taxation imposed on heating gasoil. Despite the weak demand level, IPP’s profitability was supported in 2012 by the variable cost plus 10% scheme and capacity payments (EUR 45,000/MW) which were given by the government as compensation for not having adequately liberalized the market. Our understanding is that the new regulatory framework for the operation of the electricity market (the energy regulator recently submitted its proposals for the restructuring of the operation of the electricity market to Energy Ministry) will gradually abolish the cost plus scheme by 2014 (RAE’s proposal calls for cost 5% plus in 2013 and abolishment in 2014 provided that other measures for the enhancement of competion in the wholesale market have shown progress) and review of the capacity payments mechanism (the same amount will be allocated in fewer units), with the latter favouring Mytilineos’ more efficient power plants. Against this background, we expect a neutral impact for Mytilineos in 2013 (EBITDA is estimated to increase by 25% YoY due to the full operation of the second CCGT plant that started its operation last April). Another pending regualtory issue is the commercial operation of the cogeneration unit which is pending for some time now as the commercial terms have not been approved yet by th Ministry. In our estimates, we assume that the commercial operation will become effective from 2014 onwards having a signIficant positive impact on division’s EBITDA, though there could be material upside to our estimates. Finally, the Energy Ministry has recently announced measures to address market operator’s (LAGIE) rising deficit which has had a negative impact on division’s working capital needs during 2012. We expect conditions to start normalizing in 2013, having a positive impact on division’s working capital.

Valuation

Below we show our revised valuation for the group’s energy portfolio, producing an EV of

EUR 696m or an equity value of EUR 271m. Keep in mind that we have allocated part of

the debt currently shown on parent level to Agios Nikolaos’ power plant to better reflect the

value of group’s activities. In our revised valuation, we deducted from division’s liabilities

the remaining EUR 40m installment for the acquisition of Enel’s 50% stake which was paid

recently. On the other hand, we have included an estimated EUR 3.5m tax charge on

group’s renewables portfolio, following Energy Ministry’s announcment to impose a one-off

levy on renewables’ revenues for two years, as part of the measures to eliminate LAGIE’s

deficit.

ESN Recommendation System The ESN Recommendation System is Absolute. It means that each stock is rated on the

basis of a total return, measured by the upside potential (including dividends and capital

reimbursement) over a 12 month time horizon.

The ESN spectrum of recommendations (or ratings) for each stock comprises 5 categories:

Buy, Accumulate (or Add), Hold, Reduce and Sell (in short: B, A, H, R, S).

Furthermore, in specific cases and for a limited period of time, the analysts are allowed to rate

the stocks as Rating Suspended (RS) or Not Rated (NR), as explained below.

Meaning of each recommendation or rating:

Buy: the stock is expected to generate total return of over 20% during the next 12 months time horizon

Accumulate: the stock is expected to generate total return of 10% to 20% during the next 12 months time horizon

Hold: the stock is expected to generate total return of 0% to 10% during the next 12 months time horizon.

Reduce: the stock is expected to generate total return of 0% to -10% during the next 12 months time horizon

Sell: the stock is expected to generate total return under -10% during the next 12 months time horizon

Rating Suspended: the rating is suspended due to a capital operation (take-over bid, SPO, …) where the issuer of the document (a partner of ESN) or a related party of the issuer is or could be involved or to a change of analyst covering the stock

Not Rated: there is no rating for a company being floated (IPO) by the issuer of the document (a partner of ESN) or a related party of the issuer

History of ESN Recommendation System

Since 18 October 2004, the Members of ESN are using an Absolute Recommendation System (before was a Relative Rec. System) to rate any single stock under coverage.

Since 4 August 2008, the ESN Rec. System has been amended as follow.

Time horizon changed to 12 months (it was 6 months)

Recommendations Total Return Range changed as below:

Risks to our forecasts and valuation

Mytilineos

Aluminium of Greece has high exposure to metal prices, the EUR/USD exchange rate and the electricity cost.

Aluminium of Greece’s profit is highly dependent on electricity cost. The company is currently in arbitration with PPC for the level of

electricity tariffs.

The changing environment in the Greek power generation market with increased investments by competitors combined with a slowdown in

electricity demand growth could force utilization rate and prices lower for power plants.

Metka’s sales could be affected by potential delays in the execution of awarded projects (especially in Syria) or in the delay of new tenders

for the construction of power units.

Potential pressure on Metka’s margins from increasing international exposure, higher competition or potential claims from customers.

Risks to our forecasts and valuation

Metka

Postponements in the execution of existing contracts. In particular, the social unrest in Syria could result in significant delays in the

implementation of two power plant projects in this country with a total budget of EUR 1.33bn.

Delay in new tenders for power plants due to the uncertain global economic environment.

Pressure in margins due to increased competition, execution of many projects simultaneously or potential claims from customers

The expansion outside Greece imply additional risks such as political risks.

Shifts to new technologies in power plants that Metka does not have the know-how.
