Equity / Sector Report Glass Sector 29/04/2013 Hefty Returns in a Glass Bottle All glass companies have painted a poor price performance over the past 12 months. Glass stocks underperformed the market over the past 12 months on poor results driven by i) falling profits and weaker margins following a total of 52% hike in natural gas prices during the past one year, ii) relatively lower top-line growth due to slowdown both in domestic economy and export markets and iii) the plunge in prices on poor demand and excess supply in Europe. Although the company made some price adjustments in order to pass through the impact of natural gas on costs, the hikes fell short of the rise on the cost side as demand was not alive. Accordingly, 2012 financial results were well below that of the previous year and all glass companies markedly underperformed the benchmark index. That said, SISE underperformed by 21%, TRKCM by 6%, ANACM by 22% and SODA by 40%. A difficult year is behind, better growth prospects from now on. All segments witnessed EBITDA Margin erosion in 2012, i.e. margins contracted by 12.1pp in flat glass, 7.0pp in glassware, 4.8pp in glass packaging and 5.1pp in chemicals. Accordingly, consolidated EBITDA declined massively by 21% YoY in 2012, implying a margin of 19.0%, down by 6.9pp YoY. Turning more bullish on glass sector. We anticipate growth to speed up in 2013 which will be driven primarily by the acceleration of construction and infrastructure investments and improved economic environment in Europe, owing to improving financial conditions. Considering accelerating economic activity (our 2013E GDP growth forecast 4% compared to 2.2% in 2012) and capacity expansions both in Turkey and international operations, we anticipate 12% increase in 2013 consolidated revenues. Expected recovery should now be built-in prices. We see 2013 as a recovery period as glass companies will start to adjust their prices in order to reflect sharp increases in energy costs. Starting from 1Q13, we expect gradual recovery in operating margins QoQ, through reflection of cost-base inflation on product prices. Accordingly, we expect glass conglomerate s consolidated EBITDA margin to be c.19.4% in 2013, up by 0.4pp YoY, while sharpest recovery will be seen at flat glass segment, with 4.0pp margin recovery Y-o-Y. Preferred picks: SISE and TRKCM. We prefer Sisecam over its subsidiaries due to i) relatively higher liquidity offering easy access to all glass segments ii) 7% discount to CNAV and 21% discount to TNAV; iii) the fact that the holding does not deserve such a discount with its focused portfolio and solid steps taken in the last couple of years to simplify the group structure, iv) hidden value to unlock with potential sale of the sizeable real estate portfolio and v) the highest discount to the international peers. The stock trades at 30% discount based on its 2013E EV/EBITDA of 4.6x, compared to its international peers that are trading at a median EV/EBITDA of 6.6x for the same period. Our runner-up from glass universe is TRKCM as i) it trades at very attractive levels following 6% underperformance over the past 12 months on the back of slowdown in main operational areas and poor margins stemming from higher energy bill, ii) margins bottomed out in 2012 and profitability will eventually improve in 2013, backed by product price hikes, iii) there is an impressive top-line CAGR projection of 17% between 2012 and 2015, with the completion of the ongoing investments that will almost double the capacity, and v) it trades at significant discount with respect to international peers.

Glass Sector Report Turkish glass industry ranks 17th in the world and 6th in EU. II. Turkish Glass Industry FIGURE 4: Turkish Glass Production Capacity Turkish glass industry ranks 17th in total world production and 6th in EU production. Turkish glass industry roots back to the establishment of Pasabahce back in 1935 with a production capacity of only 3K tons. According to Turk Stat figures, Turkey glass industry production had reached to 2.9 mn tons in 2012, 90% of which is done by Sise Cam. Total production of the country grew at a CAGR of 5.1% over the past five years, more than doubling the global growth rates. More importantly, CUR of the industry showed decisive upward trend thanks to improved technology, know-how and growing domestic and international demand. Since Turkish glass industry does not have an advantage in terms of raw material and energy costs compared to its European peers, capacity utilization rates of the industry is the key indicator of the competitive edge and profitability. Note that, Turkish glass industry pulled up its CUR to c.85% levels in 2012 (90% in 2011) from 70% in 2006 thanks to strong demand growth. The industry depicted a tremendous growth trend either through capacity additions or through new product initiations until now. Going forward it still has a long way to go, in our view, due to sound growth prospects in the sectors served, such as automotive, construction, beverages, pharmaceuticals, not to mention the growth prospects in neighbouring countries.

Glass Sector Report Flat glass is a EUR 25bn global industry at primary manufacturing level. III. Flat Glass Market Flat glass market heavily depends on construction and automotive industries. The global market for flat glass in 2012 was approximately 59 million tons. At the primary manufacture level, this represents a value of around EUR 25 billion. Of total global market demand in 2012, it is estimated that 32 million tons were for high quality float glass, i.e. 54% of the total. Approximately 4 million tons constituted of sheet glass and 2 million tons were rolled glass. The remaining 21 million tons represented demand for lower quality float, produced mainly in China. Flat glass has the highest demand elasticity among the different segments due to the higher responsiveness of the sectors served to the economic growth. Being prone to economic fluctuations construction and automotive sectors are the biggest consumers of the flat glass industry. FIGURE 8: Global Flat Glass Market mn metric tons 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012E Available Capacity Demand Utilization Source: National Glass Association, Pilkington and Flat Glass Industry 100% 95% 90% 85% 80% Russia has the largest flat glass consumption with c.1.8 mn tons followed by Turkey with 1 mn tons. Global plant capacity utilization rates of the industry has ranged between 90% and 95% over the past five years. In 2008, global capacity utilization dropped significantly towards the lower end of this range, following the nose-dive in demand due to global recession. Some recovery was seen in 2009, supported particularly by strong demand growth in China. Afterwards, a decline was observed due to new capacity coming on stream, especially in China. Capacity utilization is anticipated to be c.90% in 2012 due to lower global demand around the world, as well as new capacity additions. Being a capital intensive sector, CUR is very crucial factor for profitability. Annual global flat glass demand is estimated to grow at 4%. Exceeding the global growth annual flat glass demand is expected to grow by 4%. Not surprisingly, consuming more than one third (34% est.) of the global market, China is the largest and fastest growing market. In Eastern Europe, Russia has the largest flat glass consumption with c.1.8 million tons, followed by Turkey with 1 million tons.

Glass Sector Report Float plants need to operate at high capacity utilization rates in order to be profitable. Industrial Trends Highly capital intensive, hence considerable barriers of entry. A float plant is highly capital intensive, typically costing around EUR 70mn - 200mn depending on the capacity, location and product complexity. However, the investment amount is less costly in automotive glazing plant, costing around EUR 40-60mn with a capacity to fully glaze one million cars per year. The plants are designed to operate every day of the year and their lifetime vary between 10 to 15 years. Once in every three years a cold repair is done in order to repair and renew the plant which requires around US$ 25mn capital expenditure. Because of the sizeable initial capital investment and the maintenance investments, the segment exhibits significant barriers to entry. Requires high capacity utilization rates. Float plants need to operate at high capacity utilization rates in order to maximize profits due to high share of fixed costs. Once the plant passes minimum level of required utilization rate, which is around 70%, the inherent operational profitability starts to increase rapidly. Hence, capacity utilization rate is the most important factor in glass industry in reducing the unit costs and creating economies of scale. Raw material and energy are the major cost items. Although their shares may change depending on the product type, efficiency, and scale, it is certain that raw materials and energy are the two major cost items of glass production in general. In flat glass production, raw material costs constitute around 40% of the total costs while energy accounts for 30%. Silica sand, soda ash and dolomite are the three major raw materials required for production. While silica sand is the main component of raw material in terms of volume, soda ash is the most expensive material used in the production, representing 16% share in volume but holding around 60% share in value.

The glass industry requires large amount of investment, capital and heavily depends on raw materials. As a result, in order to become a global and regional player, companies invest in key markets in order to supply growing demand in regions. In addition to raw material and energy, transportation is the another big item, determining the profitability and competitive power of a company. Note that, glass is a relatively heavy material and distribution costs are not negligible, making around 15% of the total cost base. In most cases, distributing products long distances by trucks is not economical. To say that, it is not feasible for most products to be transported more than 500-600 kms. 6
Glass Sector Report Large portion of flat glass produced are used in construction sector. Most of the world s float glass production is used in buildings, constituting c.83% of the global glass usage. In building products, basic glass can undergo two or more stages of processing before being installed as original or replacement windows and glazing systems. While 40% of the float used for buildings are used for new construction, 40% is used for refurbishment and 20% is used for interior design. Automotive market demands 7% of the total supply. Lastly 10% of the flat glass are used in special applications, solar energy being the most notable one.

Glass Sector Report Soda ash prices drew an increasing trend in 2012. Contrary to other commodity prices, soda ash prices depicted an upward trend during 2012, up by around 15% YoY, driven mainly by soaring raw material costs. Costs of raw materials including salt, petroleum coke and energy have been continuously increasing prompting soda ash producers to hike prices. Apart from that, price increases gained pace as producers are also adjusting long term supply contract prices in order to remain profitable. Energy costs are another issue concerning the industry. China for instance faces significant energy problems forcing producers to increase prices. Soda ash prices increased by 15% YoY in dollar terms driven by soaring raw material costs Figure 30: Soda Ash and CRB Commodity Price Index ( 2004 = 100 ) 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 Soda Ash CRB Commodity Index Source: Bloomberg, Indian Wholesale Soda Ash Index is used for Soda prices 14
Glass Sector Report B. Valuation and Recommendation All glass companies have painted a poor price performance over the past 12 months widely underperforming BIST. Glass companies started 2012 with a widelyexpected gloomy outlook on the back of i) meagre earnings momentum and weaker margins following a cumulative 52% hike in natural gas prices effective from October 2011, April and October 2012, ii) relatively lower top-line growth estimates due to slowdown both in domestic economy and export markets and iii) very strong returns in the previous year thanks to superior financial and operational performance. Although the company made some price adjustments in order to pass through the impact of natural gas on prices, the hikes fell short of increases as demand was not alive. Accordingly, 2012 financial results were well below that of the previous year same period. All glass companies underperformed the benchmark index last 12 months. That said, SISE underperformed by 21%, TRKCM by 6%, ANACM by 22% and SODA by 40%. It is very clear that higher dependency on energy in production turns out to be higher pressure on stocks.

SISE and SODA trades at notable discounts in terms of P/E as well. 15
Glass Sector Report SISE and TRKCM are our top-picks in Turkish glass universe SISE is our preferred pick in the glass universe. In our base case scenario assuming a recovery in domestic economy and no further price hikes in natural gas in 2013, we prefer Sisecam over its subsidiaries due to i) relatively higher liquidity offering easy access to all glass segments ii) 7% discount to CNAV and 21% discount to TNAV; iii) the fact that the holding does not deserve such a discount with its focused portfolio and solid steps taken in the last couple of years to simplify the group structure, iv) hidden value to unlock with potential sale of the sizeable real estate portfolio and v) the highest discount to the international peers. The stock trades at 30% discount based on its 2013E EV/ EBITDA of 4.6x, compared to its international peers that are trading at a median EV/ EBITDA of 6.6x for the same period. Our runner-up from glass universe is TRKCM as i) it trades at very attractive levels following 6% underperformance over the past 12 months on the back of slowdown in main operational areas and poor margins stemming from higher energy bill, ii) margins bottomed out in 2012 and profitability will eventually improve in 2013, backed by product price hikes, iii) there is an impressive top-line CAGR projection of 17% between 2012 and 2015, with the completion of the on-going investments that will almost double the capacity, and v) it trades at significant discount with respect to international peers.

Equity / Large Cap. / Glass Sise Cam Bloomberg: SISE TI Reuters: SISE IS Queen of Glass Empire Glass conglomerate had a distressful year in 2012 in which demand was not at desirable levels especially in flat glass segment and margins were intensively under pressure due to 52% cumulative price hikes in natural gas prices over the past one year. EBITDA Margin erosion was seen at every operational segment in 2012, i.e. 12.1pp erosion in flat glass, 7.0pp in glassware, 4.8pp in glass packaging and 5.1pp in chemicals. Accordingly, consolidated EBITDA declined massively by 21% YoY in 2012, along with a margin of 19.0%, down 6.9pp, a slim 7% top-line growth accompanied with. A better year ahead. We are bullish on glass companies this year. We anticipate growth to speed up in 2013, which will be driven primarily by the acceleration of construction and infrastructure investments and better economic environment in Europe, owing to improved financial conditions. Considering higher growth rates in economic activity (our 2013E GDP growth forecast 4% compared to 2.2% in 2012) and capacity expansions both in Turkey and international operations, we anticipate 12% increase in 2013 consolidated revenues. Recovery period is ahead in terms of margins. We define 2013 as a recovery period as glass companies will start to adjust their prices in order to reflect sharp increases in energy costs. Starting from 1Q13, we expect gradual recovery in operating margins through reflection of costbase inflation on product prices. Accordingly, we expect glass conglomerate s consolidated EBITDA margin to be c.20% in 2013, up 0.4pp YoY, while sharpest recovery will be seen at flat glass segment s EBITDA, up by 4.0pp YoY. Heavy investment schedule to become a global player rather than a regional one. The glass conglomerate has an intensive investment program both at flat glass and glass packaging businesses till 2014 to improve its competitive power in the global arena. Apart from planned capacity expansion investments, the company announced two acquisitions in Romania and India at flat glass segment. Total investment budget of the holding stands at US$ 1.3bn for the next two years.

Sise Cam Investment Positives Sole leader in Turkish market as well as a leading player in the region Constant capacity expansions across all operational segments 2012 will be a growth year despite of all challenges Higher profitability compared to its peers A virtual monopoly and undisputable leader in Turkish glass sector. Serving at every sub-segment of the glass industry, namely flat glass, glass packaging, glassware and chemicals and commanding respective domestic market shares of 74%, 89%, 66% and 71%, Sisecam dominates Turkish glass market with its subsidiaries. It has a vertical integrated business structure, producing and supplying soda ash and chromium chemicals to its sister companies, as well as to third parties while operating cogeneration plants. Although there are some other small producers in the market, rest of the domestic demand is mostly met through imports. Besides, the glass holding is the 4th largest producer in Europe with 14% share in flat glass, 9% share in glass packaging, 25% share in glassware and 15% share in soda ash, respectively. Pursues to be a global player rather than a regional one with a heavy investment schedule. The glass conglomerate has an intensive investment program till 2014 to improve its competitive edge in the global arena. In flat glass segment, Trakya Cam will double its float line capacity in Bulgaria with a planned investment amount of US$180mn and the production is anticipated to start in 2013. In addition to that, the company will establish 225K tons of flat glass capacity in Russia with its JV partner St Gobain and complete its new Polatlı plant till mid 2014 which has a capacity of 560K tons/year, with an investment of US$320mn. On the glass packaging side, total domestic capacity has reached to 920K tons/year following the recent capacity expansion at Yenisehir plant with 120K tons/year new furnace and the company moved its 180K tons/year capacity in Istanbul facility to Eskisehir, located in Central Anatolia. The furnaces will become operational starting from 2013 and we expect all four furnaces with a total installed capacity of 480K tons/year to become operational by 2015. Profitability is expected to be higher in the new furnaces, since they will be brand new with more efficient production process and manufacture higher value added products. Apart from these investments, the company looks for acquisition opportunities in Russia and CIS regions. A difficult year is behind, better growth prospects are expected in 2013. After a brilliant performance in 2011, posting higher top-line and operational margins across each and every division, Sise Cam had a difficult year in 2012, recording only 7% topline growth along with 6.9pp erosion at EBITDA margin on the back of meagre demand in the markets served, declining product prices in Europe and 52% increase in natural gas prices. However, we believe that 2013 will be a better year both for growth and profitability thanks to improved demand conditions, adjustments in prices and contribution of new investments. Despite sequential increases in energy prices, Sisecam still operates with higher margins compared to its international peers. Sisecam generates a higher EBITDA margin compared to its international peers thanks to its vertically integrated business structure and rigorous cost management. Even depressed EBITDA margin of 2012 (19%) is much higher than the nearest rivals margins such as Saint Gobain (11.1%) Asahi (17.9%) and Owens - Illinois (10.6%). We expect the company to reflect cost increases on to its prices to some extent and forecast 19.4% EBITDA margin in 2013 assuming no further hike in energy prices in 2013. Hidden value to unlock with the prospective IPO of Pasabahce and potential sale of the sizeable real estate portfolio. We think that the prospective Pasabahce IPO should have a positive impact on SISE as it will unlock a significant value and enhance transparency. Apart from that, Sise Cam evaluates to dispose three idle lands in its portfolio: one in Beykoz (known as Pasabahce land), one in Cayırova owned by Sise Cam, and Anadolu Cam s Topkapı land. The two land under Sise Cam are valued at TL427mn on holding s latest financials: Pasabahce land: TL209mn; Cayırova land: TL218mn. Anadolu Cam s Topkapı land has a usable space of 85K sqm. Based on the average sqm rates in real estate portals, we value Anadolu Cam s land at around TL190mn. Idle land portfolio in total accounts for 16% of the current NAV. These land are not included in our SOTP estimate. Potential sale of the these lands will widen Sise Cam s current NAV discount from 7% to 16%. 20
Sise Cam Investment Negatives Vulnerable to downturns in macroeconomic environment Primary risk to our valuation is a sharp downturn in the economy. Although the glass holding is geographically diversified, it is still vulnerable to domestic economic downturns due to its exposure to the cyclical construction and automotive sectors in the domestic market. As for the glass packaging side, we are much more comfortable due to the defensive nature of the final industries, such as pharmaceuticals, beverages and food. We do not expect glassware segment to perform worse than 2012 in 2013 as its products are viewed as premium and it has a significant competitive power in underpenetrated markets. Although diversified product portfolio and geographical scale may limit negative impact of downturns in macro environment, we still see companies operations vulnerable to the changes in domestic economic activities. Margins to decline by higher energy bill Hike in natural gas prices do not leave margins in peace. Natural gas is the most important cost item having various shares in total COGS of the segments, i.e. 30% in flat glass, 20% in glass packaging, 26% in glassware and 50% in chemicals segment. Hence, hikes in natural gas prices directly has a negative impact on operational margins as product price hikes fell short of the rise in cost-base. Possible delays in projected capacity expansions may be considered another risk factor Delays in planned capacity expansions. Sisecam has an intensive investment schedule till 2014 at every operational segment. Total investment budget of the holding stands at US$1.3bn for the next two years. Lower than estimated demand following capacity additions may lead to lower CURs, which in turn may result to higher unit cash costs and lower operational performance for the company. 21
Sise Cam Valuation Valuation We value Sisecam via sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) method. We used DCF method to value Trakya Cam, Anadolu Cam, and Soda Sanayii. We value Pasabahce, Sisecam s unlisted glassware subsidiary, based on the average 2013E EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples of listed glass companies in ISE. We do not apply any holding discount to the target NAV due mainly to two reasons i) increased transparency of the group after the simplification of the cross shareholding through transferring the Sisecam shares held by the subsidiaries to the main shareholder at the top, Is Bank and ii) more focused portfolio, just the glass business, unlike other listed conglomerates in which we apply 20-30% holding discount. As a note over 70% of the underlying assets are listed on the ISE. Our valuation for Sisecam results in a 12-month target NAV of US$3.12bn, corresponding to a target price of TL3.65; which offers 24% upside potential. Therefore, we reiterate our OUTPERFORM recommendation for SISE shares.

Sise Cam FIGURE 34: Peer Comparison Source: Bloomberg We prefer Sisecam over its subsidiaries Among all glass stocks, we prefer Sisecam over its subsidiaries due to i) higher liquidity; ii) 7% discount to current and 21% discount to target NAV ; iii) the fact that it is the easiest way to get exposure to all glass segments at once and iv) has the highest discount to the international peers. The stock trades at 24% discount based on its 2013E EV/EBITDA of 4.6x, compared to its international peers trading at a median EV/EBITDA of 6.1x for the same period. It is worth mentioning here that unlike the usual trading pattern seen at other conglomerates ( first the subsidiaries perform well, and accordingly NAV discount of the holding widens and then the holding company follows suit narrowing the discount), it is typically reverse in Sisecam s case as the stock has higher liquidity than its subsidiaries and one can tap into all glass segments through buying Sisecam while diversifying the risk.

Sise Cam Current NAV discount also supports our bullish stance Sisecam s current Mcap stands at US$2.3bn, trading at 7% discount to its current NAV (CNAV) compared to last 3 years historic CNAV discount of 16%.

Sise Cam Company Overview Established in 1935 by Isbank, Sisecam is the indisputable leader of Turkish glass sector. The company serves at all sub-segments of the glass industry, namely flat glass, glass packaging and glassware segments holding 74%, 89% and 66% domestic market shares, respectively. Besides, it has a vertical integrated business structure, producing and supplying soda ash and chromium chemicals to its subsidiaries, as well as the third parties. Chemicals business is no exception in terms of market dominance as the holding commands 71% of the Turkish soda ash market. Although there are some other small producers in the market both at flat glass and chemicals side, rest of the demand is mostly met through imports. Therefore, Sisecam enjoys its quasi-monopolistic position in Turkish glass sector. The holding operates in 8 other countries as well, to say Russia, Bulgaria, Egypt, Georgia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Ukraine, Romania and Italy with its own investments as well as strategic alliances with global players in the region and exports nearly 140 countries. Isbank is the major shareholder with c.66% stake while Pasabahce and Efes Holding hold c.4% shares respectively. Free float stands at 26.3%.

Sise Cam Financial Highlights FIGURE 40: Revenue Breakdown Revenues A big regional player: c.50% of turnover generated from overseas operations. Consolidated revenues of Sisecam grew at a CAGR of 7.4% between 2007 and 2012. Sisecam achieved to increase its glass production at a CAGR of 4.1% and soda ash production at a CAGR of 5.5% between 2007 and 2012 thanks to capacity expansions with investments in the region. Share of overseas production stood at 34% in 2012 and it is expected to be higher in the future due to on-going large scale investments. Growth in value terms was a result of both increasing sales volumes, not only due to new capacity additions but also due to fruitful demand and prices. Revenues are evenly distributed between the business segments. While glass packaging and glassware segments have 24% and 26% shares, flat glass and chemicals constitute 22% and 28% of the overall revenues of the holding respectively. Due to new float line additions, the equation can change in favour of flat glass segment placing it to the leadership seat....reaps the fruits of investments abroad. Export revenues reached to TL2,564mn in 2012, increasing at a CAGR of 12.8% between 2007 and 2012 thanks to consistent investment scheme in neighbouring countries where demand growth is robust. Europe comprises the highest share in international revenues with 40%. Middle East and Africa holds 20% share and its share is expected to increase further with the completion of the on-going investments in Turkey that targets these markets as well. Being the number one glass packaging player of Russia the company enjoys the growth in this market. Russia constitute 22% of the international sales. In terms of country exposure, Italy gets the lion s share from exports with 12% share. U.K, Germany and France are the other major export markets of the glass holding.

Sise Cam EBITDA Natural gas price hikes do not give a rest to margins Enjoys higher EBITDA margins compared to its global peers. Sisecam generates higher EBITDA margins compared to its international peers thanks to its vertically integrated business structure, rigorous cost management and investments in immature markets. The company showed a solid growth performance at the EBITDA level, recording 6.8% CAGR between 2007 and 2012. EBITDA margin bottomed to 19% in 2009 due to adverse impact of global financial crisis, that led to lower demand, prices and in turn lower CURs. However, the company achieved to raise its EBITDA margin back to 25.8% in 2011 with higher demand, improved CURs and higher sales prices. EBITDA margins suffered from higher energy costs due to price hikes in natural gas in 2012. Accordingly, the company posted 19% EBITDA margin in 2012, which is still much above that of the competitors such as Saint Gobain generating 11.1%, Asahi 17.9% and Owens - Illinois 10.6% EBITDA margins in 2012 FIGURE 44: EBITDA Margins Nearly c.

Sise Cam Glass packaging hold the lions share in total investments during 2004-2011. Sise Cam spent around US$3.8bn during the periods of 2004 and 2012 in order to solidify its existing dominant position and make investments in the promising region. When we look at the segmental breakdown of the investments, glass packaging had the largest share with 35% in total amount as the conglomerate invested US$327mn in Russia since its first entrance in 2001. Flat glass is the second largest invested business area holding 27% while glassware is the third with 18% share in overall investments during the given period of time. For the upcoming years, largest investment is estimated to be made in flat glass segment, i.e. c.us$650mn capital expenditures in total till by 2014YE. For the glass packaging side, we calculate only US$100mn cap-ex for the planned 180K tons moving and renovation.

One of the major concerns for Sise Cam is low Return on Invested Capital ratio despite huge amount of investments. When we compare ROIC with WACC over the past five years (Figure 49), ROIC ratio remained below WACC since the company could not be able to reach desired profitability levels in Russia and domestic demand has been volatile. However, we estimate ROIC to exceed WACC after 2014 with the end of investment process in flat glass segment in 2014 thanks to potential improvement in domestic operations with Polatlı investment and higher margins in glass packaging side with the new facility in Eskisehir.

Sise Cam Dividends Over the past five years due to heavy investment programs, Sise Cam did not distribute higher amounts of dividend to its shareholders. Average pay-out ratio stood at 18.8% during the year 2007-2013 while average yield was 1.8%. No dividend distribution has been made in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Sise Cam and listed group companies Trakya Cam, Anadolu Cam and Soda Sanayii announced to revise their dividend distribution policy in the Articles of Association in accordance with the new Turkish Commercial Code and CMB regulations. Accordingly, Sisecam Group set to distribute minimum 50% of their distributable income as cash dividends or bonus shares. However it is noted that this policy will be reviewed based on the economic conditions, investment plans and cash position of the companies. There is room for distributing higher dividends. We believe that there is room for distributing higher dividends since the 9.0% 2013E ROE ratio of SISE remains relatively lower than the sector s average of 12.8%. We made a DuPont analysis and came up with the fact that although SISE generates higher operating margin than most of the peers, lower leverage ratio is the primary reason of lower ROE. Therefore, we deem that there is room for distributing higher dividends as the company operates under the average leverage ratio of its peers.

Equity / Mid Cap. / Glass Trakya Cam Bloomberg: TRKCM TI Reuters: TRKCM IS 29/04/2013 Company Report OUTPERFORM Upside Potential* 17% Storm is Over - Sailing to the Growth By far the leader of the Turkish flat glass market. Trakya Cam enjoys its leadership position in Turkish flat glass with over 70% market share. Since huge cap-ex requirement of the industry poses a natural barrier to entry, there are not any considerable competitors which might threaten the company s strong position in the domestic market. Heavy investment schedule till 2014. Trakya Cam has an aggressive investment program to raise its capacity by c.1mn tons to 2.6mn tons by mid -2014. In Turkey, the company will add up 560K tons additional capacity in Polatlı. The two floats in Polatlı will be operational by 2H14 with a planned investment amount of US$320mn. As for the international operations, the company will double its float line capacity in Bulgaria (adding 225K tons/ year capacity) with a planned investment of US$180mn by 2H13. In addition to that, Trakya Cam will establish 500K tons flat glass capacity in Russia with its JV partner St Gobain with a total investment of US$330mn, in which it has 70% stake. Revenues to grow at an impressive 17% CAGR between 2012 and 2015 with the completion of the aforementioned investments. Accordingly, total sales volume (CAGR: 14%) and revenues (CAGR: 17%) of the company are foreseen to take off between the years 2012 and 2015 thanks to capacity increases in Turkey, Bulgaria and Russia as well as buoyant demand. After a difficult year with meagre demand in Turkey and Europe, we expect a better year in 2013 thanks to acceleration in infrastructure and construction industries in both markets and the liquidation of excess supply in Europe. From 2014 onwards new capacity additions, which will also be diverted to export markets should lead to an upswing in volumes and accordingly revenues. Profitability plunged in 2012 leading to lacklustre stock performance, yet we expect better prospects in 2013. EBITDA margin eroded by 12.1pp in 2012 on the back 52% cumulative increase in NG prices. We think that worst is over in terms of margins and we do not expect any natural gas price hike throughout 2013-14, which should prompt to improvement in margins with the help of increase in product prices. We expect EBITDA margin to improve 20% in 2013-14 from bottomed 16.2%, lowest level over the past five year.

Trakya Cam Investment Positives Undisputable leader in Turkish flat glass market, yet... Re-initiated with OUTPERFORM recommendation. We are re-initiating our coverage for Trakya Cam with an OUTPERFORM recommendation. Our DCF driven target share price of TL 3.52/share implies a 17% upside potential from current levels. The main highlights of our investment theme for Trakya Cam are: i) undisputable leadership in Turkish flat glass market, ii) fast growth trend in unsaturated markets, iii) heavy investment period to support steady expansion in the region, iv) attractive long-term growth prospects benefiting from Turkey s increasing infrastructure and construction spending, v) potential entrance to key markets with acquisitions, vi) higher profitability compared to many other peers, vii) eye-catching revenue and EBITDA growth thereafter 2014 through c.1mn capacity additions with the investments, viii) potential sale of participations and lastly ix) 6% underperformance in the last 12 months widening the discount to the international peers. Undisputable leader in Turkish flat glass market Trakya Cam enjoys its absolute leadership in Turkish flat glass market with 74% market share. Since huge cap-ex requirement of the industry poses natural barriers to entry, there are not any considerable competitors which might threaten the company s dominant position in the domestic market. However, Trakya Cam continues its breathless growth adding up 560K tons new capacity in Polatlı ( near Ankara) with a planned investment of US$320mn. This way the company plans to command 80% of the market at least up from 70% levels....still strives to raise its market share to 80% from 73% Intensive investment program in Turkey, Russia, Bulgaria and Romania Main beneficiary of Turkey s robust long term growth prospect...and strong growth prospects in fast growing markets. Trakya Cam targets to expand its business in fast growing emerging markets such as Eastern Europe and Russia. In Eastern Europe, Russia has the largest flat glass consumption with approximately 2 mn tons followed by Turkey. Despite the 4% average growth rate in global flat glass market, Trakya Cam s markets grow around 7-8% annually. Heavy investment program till 2014. In order to improve its competitive edge both in domestic and global markets, Trakya Cam has an aggressive investment program to raise its capacity by c.1mn tons to 2.6mn tons by mid-2014. In Turkey, the company will add up 560K tons of new capacity with the completion of its Polatlı plant by 2H14 that is estimated to cost US$320mn. As for international operations, the company will double its float line capacity in Bulgaria (adding 225K tons/year capacity) with a planned investment of US$180mn by 2H13. In addition to that, the company will establish 500K tons flat glass capacity in Russia with its JV partner St Gobain with a total investment of US$330mn, in which Trakya has 70% stake. Apart from that, the company will make US$30mn investment in Romania to strengthen its penetration in auto-glass segment. Attractive long-term growth prospects: benefiting Turkey s increasing infrastructure and construction spending. Similar to the global trend, most of the company s production is used by the construction sector. Construction has 70% share in total domestic revenues of the company while automotive and consumer durables each constitute c.15% shares. Being an emerging economy, Turkey offers huge long-term growth prospects with a rapidly growing construction and automotive industry. Although we witnessed a slowdown in the construction sector in 2012, we believe that the growth in the industry will resume in 2013 with the help of both public and private investments, as well as housing demand. 32
Trakya Cam Pursues to be a global player rather than a regional one. Generates higher EBITDA margins compared to large players in the industry Possible entrance to new markets. The company pursues to be a global player rather than a regional one. Accordingly, in addition to intense investment schedule both in domestic and international markets, the company also considers acquisition opportunities in overseas markets. Although the company has an IRR hurdle rate of 20-22% in US$ for organic investments, acquisition opportunities are considered as strategic steps. Recently announced investment plan in India is a good example of this strategy. Trakya Cam will benefit from the robust growth trend in Indian flat glass market, which is expected to increase at 10-12% p.a. in the next five years, along with diversifying its client portfolio. Higher profitability compared to peers. As it is seen in Figure 17( Global Flat Glass Producer Overview), we compared Trakya Cam with the world s leading flat glass producers, namely Saint Gobain, Asahi, PPG and Nippon Sheet. Although each company has different business structures and product portfolios, we still made a comparison in order to get an idea about performance of Trakya Cam. Accordingly, Trakya Cam posted 10% revenue growth over the past five years while average of the international players CAGR was null at the same period. 5 year average EBITDA margin of 24.5%, on the other hand, is 36% higher than the nearest rival at 18%. Impressive revenue and EBITDA growth prospects in 2014-15 Revenues to grow impressively at a CAGR of 17% during 2012 and 2015 with the completion of heavy investment process. Accordingly, total sales volume ( CAGR of 14% ) and revenues ( CAGR of 17% ) of the company are expected to jump during 2012 and 2015 thanks to capacity increases in Turkey, Bulgaria and Russia. Top-line remained almost flat in 2012, due to slowdown in construction and automotive industry. However, we estimate 19% revenue growth in 2013 thanks to accelerating growth in construction sector. Worst is over, margin recovery is on the way Sale of participations may create a catalyst Margins were inevitably under pressure from the 52% increase in NG prices over the past one year, yet future prospects look shiny. Depressed by sluggish demand and significant hikes in NG prices, EBITDA margin bottomed to historical low level of 16.2% in 2012, deteriorating widely by 12.1pp YoY. However, we believe that margin recovery is on the way in 2013 with no additional hike in NG prices and with sales price increases by the company supported by improved demand conditions. Note that Trakya Cam has already made 4% hike in domestic prices in November and we anticipate further price hikes during the year as prices in Europe started to increase with elimination of excess supply and shut downs in several float lines. Therefore, we expect upcoming periods to be relieving for margins since no additional hike in energy prices is anticipated during the next 1-1.5 years. We project normalized mid-to-long term EBITDA margin of 25%, thanks to potential improvement in domestic operations with Polatlı investment and higher CURs, still lower than last years five years average of 27%. Possible sale of participations may be a catalyst. Trakya Cam has several participations that are operating in various segments such as glassware and electricity. They have a contribution of TL362mn in our target equity value, i.e. 15% of the target Mcap and 17% of current Mcap. Therefore, a possible sale of participations in order to simplify the corporate structure may create a catalyst for the stock. 33
Trakya Cam Investment Negatives Highly dependent on macro econonomic conditions Negative FCF generation in 2013 and 2014 NG prices continue to weigh on margins Sluggish economic growth. Serving mainly to cyclical sectors such as construction and automotive, the company s operations are highly correlated with the macroeconomic conditions. A sharp downturn in macro environment may be seen as the major risk factor for Trakya Cam. Decline in sales volumes will in turn lower CUR due to contraction in production increasing unit costs that results in deterioration in operational profitability. Deepening Eurozone crisis. Exports constitute c.30% of total consolidated revenues and sales to Europe comprises half of the exports. Accordingly, continuation of low/ negative growth rates in Eurozone will have a negative impact on export sales of the company. However, it should be noted that the company has exposure to Germany, Bulgaria, Romania and the UK, whose economies are relatively stronger than some other EU countries. Besides, the company s strategy of diversifying its export markets will lower dependence on one region. Negative FCF during heavy investment period. We calculate c.us$650mn capital expenditures in 2013 and 2014, including investments in Turkey, Bulgaria, Russia, Romania and cold repairs in Turkey. As a result, the company will raise its production capacity by 1mn tons to c.2.7mn tons by end of 2014, and naturally will generate negative FCF in 2013 and 2014 as well. We estimate positive FCF starting from 2015 with the completion of heavy investments. Accordingly, negative FCF generation during 2013 and 2014 may deter investors interest for the stock. Margin erosion was a fate in 2012, yet 2013 will be more rosy. Energy has a share of 30% in total COGs of the company, in which natural gas and electricity hold 85% and 15% shares, respectively. Operational margins closely correlate with the changes in NG prices. According to our estimates, 10% increase in NG prices should lead to 4.0pp decline in EBITDA margin if everything else remains constant. However, its impact may be higher due to indirect relationship with the raw material costs. Note that, following 52% hike in NG prices over the past one year and higher soda ash prices, EBITDA margin eroded massively by 12.1pp in 2012. Yet, we believe that 2013-14 will bring some improvement since no additional utility price hikes are expected. A harsher competitive landscape, particularly in foreign operations. Having a strategy of expanding its business in fast growing emerging markets such as Eastern Europe and Russia, any large-scale investment from foreign competitors might stimulate the competition in the territory, which may in turn dent company s sales. 34
Trakya Cam Valuation We valued Trakya Cam by using discounted cash flow method (DCF) since we believe that it is the most appropriate method that reflects the long-term growth potential of the company. Accordingly, we came up with a 12 month target equity value of TL2,442mn, implying 17% upside potential. We believe DCF is a more appropriate valuation model compared to peer multiples analysis as peers of the company have different product composition-scale and DCF analyses better reflects intensive investment plans of the company. Therefore, we re-initiate our coverage for the stock with a target price of TL3.52/share and OUTPERFORM recommendation.

Production Capacity: Based on the company s planned investment schedule, we estimate total production capacity of the company to increase by c.1 million tons to 2.6 million tons by the end of 2014. Domestic Operations - Total domestic production capacity will reach to c.1.9mn tons following the addition of two float lines in Polatlı with a capacity of 560K tons by 2H14. In addition to that, we estimate cold-repairs at Mersin plant to be completed by the end of 2013. International operations - The company will double its float line capacity in Bulgaria (adding 225K tons/year capacity) by the end of 2013. Apart from that, Trakya Cam and Saint-Gobain jointly invest US $320mn in flat glass furnace and an auto glass line in Russia with 500K tons capacity which are expected to be operational by the end of 2013. Besides, we included investment in auto segment in Romania in our production capacity projections as well. However, we did not pencil in a capacity addition for the investment plan in India since the details of the investment are not disclosed and feasibility studies are still going on. 35

Note that, total sales volume ( CAGR of 14% ) and revenues ( CAGR of 17% ) of the company is expected to jump during the periods of 2012 and 2015 thanks to capacity additions in Turkey, Bulgaria and Russia. EBITDA Margin: Operational margins primarily depend on energy prices having a share of c.30% in total COGS. Natural gas prices were raised by 52% during the past one year (three NG price hikes: October 2011, April 2012 and October 2012) leading EBITDA margin to deteriorate by 12.1pp YoY to 16.2% in 2012 which is the worst EBITDA margin performance over the past five years. We forecast margins to recover starting from 1Q13 thanks to price increases coupled with improved demand in end-markets. We assumed EBITDA margin contraction in 2014 and 2015 assuming lower CURs at the initial years of new capacities which will increase unit costs. 19.5% EBITDA margin recorded back in 2009 when CURs slumped to 70%s justify our assumption as well. During the rest of our forecast horizon, we foresee an average EBITDA margin of 25% thanks to potential improvement in domestic operations with Polatlı investment and higher CURs, in-line with the past five years average EBITDA margin of 25%. Cap-ex: We calculate c.us$650mn capital expenditures in total in 2013 and 2014 after US$150mn spending for investments last year. Domestic Operations - The company will add up 560K tons of additional capacity with the completion of its new Polatlı plant by 2H14 with a planned investment of US$320mn. International operations - Float line capacity in Bulgaria will be doubled (adding 225K tons/year capacity) with a US$180mn investment by 2H13. In addition to that, the company will establish 225K tons flat glass capacity in Russia with its JV partner St Gobain with a total investment of US$330mn, in which Trakya has 70% stake. Apart from that, the company will make US$30mn investment in Romania to strength its penetration in auto-glass segment. Lastly, we pencil US$34mn cap-ex for each cold repairs in Mersin and Luleburgaz.

On the other hand, US$320mn investment amount for 560K tons additional capacity increase in Polatlı plant points out to c.us$571 unit cost per ton. Since we include lower CURs at the initial stages of the investment, our implied EV/capacity is reasonably lower than the investment cost.

Trakya Cam Company Overview Sole leader of the domestic flat glass market Being Sisecam s flagship company in the flat glass segment, Trakya Cam is the largest flat glass manufacturer with 73% share in domestic market. The company produces i) basic glass (float glass, patterned glass, mirror, laminated glass, coated glass), ii) automotive glass and glass for other vehicles, iii) energy glass, iv) glass for home appliances providing input for various sectors including construction, automotive, energy, home appliances, furniture and agriculture. Undisputable leader of the Turkish flat glass market. Trakya Cam enjoys its leadership in domestic market as huge cap-ex requirement of the glass industry poses a strong natural barriers to entry. Düzce Cam is the only domestic competitor operating with one float line (600 tons/day ~ 220K tons/year) and will add another furnace of 850 tons/day capacity by the end of 2013. Apart from these two players, there are some small regional players as well. Yet, we may say that around 20% of the demand in the market are met through imports.

Trakya Cam Sisecam is the major shareholder. Türkiye Sise ve Cam Fabrikaları is the major shareholder of the company having 69.4% stake while free float is 30.2%. Camis Madencilik, a subsidiary of Sisecam producing industrial minerals for glass industry, has a small stake of 0.4% at Trakya Cam. FIGURE 58: Shareholder Structure Camis Madencilik, 0.4% Sisecam is the major shareholder Free Float, 30.2% Türkiye Sise ve Cam Fabrikaları, 69.4% Source: Company Sisecam is the major shareholder Ranks among the top six flat glass producers in the world and top four companies in Europe in terms of production capacity. Trakya Cam s annual production capacity reached 1.8 million tons with 7 operating float lines; 6 in Turkey ( Kirklareli Luleburgaz, Mersin - Tarsus, Bursa - Yenisehir ) and 1 Bulgaria ( Targovishte ). In order to become a regional player, the company invested in Eastern Europe, establishing first float line in 2006 in Bulgaria, targeting Eastern Europe and CIS countries. Still, it is the largest greenfield investment ever in Bulgaria. Apart from that, the company formed 70-30 joint venture with Saint Gobain, one of the largest players in the industry, to build a flat glass plant with a capacity of 500K tons and an auto-glass plant in Russia. In addition to that, another JV with again Saint Gobain was formed in Egypt. Currently, the plant in Egypt has 200K tons flat glass production capacity. According to the agreement targeted shareholder structure of Egypt plant is: Trakya Cam s stake in Russia will decline to 51% while its 15% stake in Egypt is expected to increase gradually to 49% in the mid-term. For this purpose, the company s subsidiary Trakya Investment BE announced that it will raise its existing EUR17mn paid-in capital to EUR43mn in order to raise its stakes at the Egypt venture.

Trakya Cam Investments Heavy investment schedule to become a global player rather than a regional one. Leadership position will be strengthened through new capacity additions. In order to improve its competitive power both in domestic and global arena, Trakya Cam embarked an aggressive investment program to raise its capacity by c.1mn tons to 2.6mn tons by mid-2014. In domestic market, we don't see Duzce Cam s new investments as a threat for Trakya Cam since the company will add up 560K tons additional capacity with the completion of its new Polatlı plant by 2H14 with a planned investment of US$320mn. The company targets to increase its market share to 80% from 73% through this investment. FIGURE 60: Investment Scheme Source: Company Region Heavy investment schedule to become a global player. In international markets, the company will double its float line capacity in Bulgaria (adding 225K tons/year capacity) with a planned investment of US$180mn by 2H13. In addition to that, the company will establish 500K tons flat glass capacity in Russia through the JV with St Gobain with a total investment of US$330mn. Apart from these, the company will make US$30mn investment in Romania to strengthen its penetration in auto-glass segment, targeting a production of 1,000,000 car - sets at full capacity. Owing to its proximity to large car manufacturers in Germany, Romania has a strategic position for the company to meet its targets in auto glass. In order to enhance profitability, auto glass production in Bulgaria is planned to be moved to Romania facility.

In addition to capacity increases, Trakya Cam, with its largest shareholder Sisecam, looks for acquisition opportunities in Russia, India and CIS regions. In-line with the strategy of penetrating in fast growing markets, Trakya Cam announced that it will enter Indian market in partnership with Hindusthan National Glass (HNGIL) back in October 2012. Accordingly, Trakya Cam will have 44% of HNG Float Glass Limited, 88% of which is owned by HNGIL and 12% owned by the International Finance Corporation. Feasibility studies for building new float lines and an automotive glazing facility have started following the MOU. Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Limited is the largest glass packaging producer in India with almost 60% market share. The company has an installed capacity of 3,600 tons per day (12 furnaces and 50 lines) with production facilities in six locations across India in glass packaging segment. The company operates in flat glass segment with its sister company HNG Float Glass with one float line having a capacity of 600 tons per day. Indian flat glass market grew at an average annual rate of 12% - 15%. We welcome Trakya Cam s investment plans in India since the flat glass market in India has been growing at a fast pace due to the lucrative demand from the construction and automotive sectors. The demand for flat glass in India has increased at an average annual rate of 12% to 15% in the past 2-3 years. Moreover, it is expected to increase at 10-12% in the next three to five years. The investments potential impact on Trakya Cam is expected to be positive given the strong growth prospects of the Indian flat glass market. The only negative impact will be on the medium term cash flows due to additional cap-ex requirement. 40
Trakya Cam Import Barriers Turkey had restricted imports from Russia and Iran through imposing import tariffs since 2006 following the investigation initiated on the basis of a complaint from domestic producers. Import duties of US$30/tons applied on imports from Russia and Iran expired in 2012. Similarly, volume quotas (30K tons) on Chinese imports which were put into practice in 2Q06 were renewed every 3 years. Tariffs on imports from Russia and Iran and quotas against Chinese imports were not renewed in 2012. The managements seems more concerned regarding imports from Europe and does not see imports from Iran, China and Russia as direct competitor for Trakya due to lower quality. For imports from Europe, Ministry of Foreign Trade initiated an anti-dumping investigation in November 2012 concerning cheap imports of flat glass from Romania which signals potential new measures against imports from Romania. Turkey s glass imports from Romania was 47K tons in 2011 (US$20mn) and 65K (US$12mn) tons in 2012 having a share of 9% in total glass imports in 2011 rising to 13% in 2012. 41
Trakya Cam Financial Highlights Revenues Much higher than the 4% average growth rate of the world flat glass industry, Trakya Cam achieved to increase its overall consolidated revenues at a CAGR of 8% between 2007 and 2012, thanks to robust demand in countries of operation. Being the dominant player with 73% market share, Trakya Cam was the main beneficiary of high growth rates in Turkish economy, increasing its domestic revenues at a CAGR of 7.1% during 2007 and 2012. In addition to rapid growth rates in Turkey, international operations had expanded rapidly as well. Share of exports surged to 31% in 2012 from 24% in 2007 owing to increased sales volume and penetration in fast growing export markets. Revenues remained almost flat in 2012 due to weak both in Turkey and Europe and lower prices( Average prices in Europe declined almost 10%). However, revenues are expected to bounce in 2013 with stronger demand both in Turkey and Europe, as well as price increases. In fact, the first price increase came in November, 2012 at 4%. FIGURE 61: Revenues Breakdown FIGURE 62: Flat Glass Production - K tons 17% 17% 18% 18% 1100 1400 1600 1300 83% 83% 82% 82% 2009 2010 2011 2012 Domestic Operations Int Operations Source: Company 2009 2010 2011 2012 Source: Company 70% of the revenues are generated from construction sector. Glass sales to automotive industry constitute 15% of the total domestic revenues while the remaining 15% belongs to home appliances. Therefore, the company s sales are highly correlated with the growth in construction, automotive and white goods sectors. In other words it is closely linked to GDP growth. Through the investments in Russia, Egypt and India, the company targets to diversify its markets, decreasing high dependency on the domestic market. Therefore, we believe that the company s main strategy of expanding to a wider geography through partnerships and acquisitions is viable strategy.

Trakya Cam Urbanization creates demand for new housing. Building permits grew at a CAGR of 16% between 2002-2012, while the number of modern shopping centres has increased from 44 to 294 at the same period. In 2012, with the slowdown in the economy and falling private sector investments, the Turkish construction sector grew only by 0.6%. This had a negative impact on the sales of the industries that serve to the construction sector, Trakya Cam not being an exception. However, we believe that Trakya Cam s sales will recover in 2013 with the acceleration of the growth in construction sector thanks to declined mortgage rates. For the mid-to-long term, residential market is considered to be the main growth driver of Turkish real estate industry. Population growth, demographic structure, urbanization rate, change in lifestyles and migration indicators are expected to support growth in construction sector.

Total automotive production grew at a CAGR of 10% over the past ten years, reaching 1,072,978 units in 2012. Weakening TL against EUR and hike in special consumption tax on passenger and light commercial vehicles had a negative impact on domestic automotive sales in 2012. Despite of increase in SCT, we expect domestic automotive sales to reach 812K units in 2013, up 4% annually, thanks to lower interest rates. Apart from that, planned scrap incentive regarding passenger cars older than 20 years (estimated to be 2 mn units) is another potential trigger for the sector. Trakya Cam will benefit mid-to-long term potential of the industry s production growth, which we estimate to be around 5%. For the consumer durables, we estimate domestic demand to recover in 2013, thanks to the increase in construction activity coupled with the declining interest rates.

Trakya Cam Cost Structure Raw materials (soda ash) and energy are the two main costs items. Energy has 30% share in total COGS of the company, in which natural gas and electricity hold 85% and 15% shares, respectively. Note that, BOTAS, the States Petroleum Pipeline Corporation, raised NG prices by 9.8% effective from October, 2012 on top of previous increases in October, 2011 and April, 2012 by 15% and 19%, respectively. As a result, EBITDA margin deteriorated by 12.1pp YoY in 2012. Hike in energy prices indirectly affects raw material prices as well since energy makes some 50% of the total production cost of soda ash which is one of the main ingredients in glass production.

According our estimates, 10% increase in NG prices should lead to c.4.0pp decline in EBITDA margin everything being constant. After including the recent hike in NG prices in our estimates, we anticipate 17% EBITDA margin in 2012, down by 12pp YoY. In 2013, we forecast EBITDA margin to recover to 21% with increases in product prices, assuming no further hike in energy prices.

Trakya Cam EBITDA Energy price hikes spoiled last two years glorious performance. EBITDA margin improved splendidly to 28.4% in 2011 from slim 19.5% in 2009 when demand was lacklustre and accordingly CUR was low. The brilliant performance has started in 2010 actually, on the back of increase in product prices and CUR, leading 27.9% EBITDA margin in 2010 increasing to 28.3% in 2011.. Following 52% cumulative hike in NG prices and higher soda ash prices in 2012, EBITDA margin eroded significantly by 12.1pp in 2012 to 16.2%, lowest level recorded over the past five years. Yet we anticipate margins to recover in 2013 as the company will increases its sales prices, partially reflecting hikes on the cost side.

Equity / Mid Cap. / Glass Anadolu Cam Bloomberg: ANACM TI Reuters: ANACM IS The Saviour of Tough Times Among all glass companies, Anadolu Cam was the best performing one during 2012 in terms of profitability and top-line growth thanks to its resilient operational structure. The company managed to post 15% top-line growth along with 19.6% EBITDA margin in 2012. In 2013, we calculate a moderate revenue growth of 10% backed with both sales volume and price increases. Moreover, we project 22% EBITDA margin in 2013 assuming no further hike in natural gas prices. Buy growth: 2012-2015 Revenue and EBITDA CAGR of 13% and 25%. During 2012-2015, we anticipate revenues to increase at a CAGR of 13% thanks to increased capacity with the new Eskisehir plant. EBITDA growth is expected to be higher at 25% (CAGR) during the same period including potential margin improvement with higher CUR in international operations and enhanced operational structure with the brand new facility in Eskisehir. As the Eskisehir plant will be equipped with technologically improved and efficient furnaces and manufacture higher value added products, the company s margins are anticipated to rise going forward. Ciner Group s investments to challenge dominant position. Similar to other Sise Cam companies, Anadolu Cam enjoys its quasi-monopoly position in Turkish glass packaging industry holding 89% market share. However, Ciner Group s investments - 4 furnaces having c.600k tons/year total production capacity- by 2015 compared to Anadolu Cam s 920K tons domestic capacity - would challenge the dominant presence. Pricing environment may change as well considering competitive advantage of Ciner Group s low cost natural soda capacity that make production costs lower compared to Anadolu Cam, which uses synthetic soda whose cost is higher. Aiming to lower dependency on fragile beer bottles in Russia. Beer sales depicted sluggish performance last year in Russia and it is expected to decline further over the coming periods due to ban on beer advertising on TV, radio and billboards which is valid since 2H12. We believe that the strategy of a more balanced product mix in Russia - dragging down the share of beer bottles in sales volume to 50-60% from current 70% in advantage of high alcoholic bottles - will lower the dependency on one sector.

Anadolu Cam Investment Positives More resilient structure compared to other companies Largest glass packaging company in Turkey Market diversification in four different countries Targeting to have a more balanced product breakdown in Russia Sustainable revenue and EBITDA growth outlook We believe that Anadolu Cam offers rewarding return potential for investors thanks to its i) resilient operational structure as the demand in the sectors that the company serves are more stable and defensive compared to other glass segments, ii) promising growth prospects benefiting from Turkey s strong consumer story, iii) exposure to fast growing markets such as Russia, iv) restructuring at product mix in Russia, v) potential margin uplift for Turkey operations with the brand new facility in Eskisehir, vii) much higher profitability levels compared to its international peers, viii) 22% underperformance relative to BIST during the past one year, and lastly ix) 38% upside potential of our DCF driven target share price of 3.80 TL/share. Therefore, we re-initiate our coverage for Anadolu Cam with a OUTPERFORM recommendation. The saviour of tough times. Anadolu Cam operates in a less fragile business segment and is less dependent on economic environment as the sectors the company serve has defensive nature. Diversifying product portfolio in parallel to growing segments strengthened this solid structure, and lessened the risks associated with industry concentration. Currently, mineral waters ( main growth driver of the industry ) constitute 43% share of Turkey sales volume while beers and soft drink comprises c.13% of the sales volume. In Russia, the company targets to have a more balanced product mix via gradually dragging down the beer bottle share to c.50-60% from its current 70% levels and raising the high-margin white bottles share in expense of colour. Beneficiary of Turkey s attractive consumer story. Being the solid leader in Turkish glass packaging industry with 89% market share, Anadolu Cam benefits from Turkey s growth story in environmental friendly way. Turkish glass packaging industry is estimated to grow by 7% annually supported by population growth, changing consumption preferences in favour of glass in food & beverages due to health and environmental concerns and particularly high growth rate of mineral water segment, i.e. 10% per annum. Aiming to lower dependency on fragile beer bottles in Russia. Anadolu Cam invested some US$350mn in Russia since its first entrance in 2001 and the company targets to benefit from the huge growth potential of the market. Russian beer market grew at an impressive 11% CAGR between 1999 and 2008. However after 2008, financial crises and government limitations on beer consumption led volumes to come down by 7% in 2009 and 2010. The market contracted by 3% in 2011 and beer sales continued to depict sluggish performance last year and it is expected to decline further over the coming periods due to ban on beer advertising on TV, radio and billboards which is valid since 2H12. Anadolu Cam currently diverts its capacity from beer bottles to high alcoholic, spirit and food bottling. We believe that the strategy of a more balanced product mix in Russia - declining the share of beer bottles in sales volume to 50-60% from current 70% in advantage of high alcoholic bottles - will lower the dependency on one sector. Modest revenue and EBITDA growth outlook in 2013. On the contrary to other glass companies whose revenues either remained flat or grew at a slim pace, Anadolu Cam s revenues grew by 15% in 2012 owing to sales volume growth both in domestic and international operations. In 2013, we calculate a moderate revenue growth of 10% owing to both sales volume and price increases. Assuming no further price hike in natural gas prices, EBITDA margin is estimated to improve 22.6% in 2013 from 19.6% in 2012. We project EBITDA margin to be 28% on average during our projection period, including potential margin improvement with higher CUR in international operations and enhanced operational structure with the brand new facility in Eskisehir. As the Eskisehir plant will be equipped with technologically improved and efficient furnaces and manufacture higher value added products, the company s margins are anticipated to improve going forward. 51
Anadolu Cam Investment Negatives Ciner Group s investments may threat strong position in the domestic market. Pressure by the Russian government to lower alcohol consumption. Relatively more immune to increase in natural gas prices Ciner Group s investments may be a threat for strong domestic position. Ciner Group, owner of Eti Soda has an investment plan to build 4 furnaces by 2015 having a total production capacity of 600K tons/year, versus Anadolu Cam s 920K tons domestic capacity. The first phase of the investment, 150K/tons of capacity will initially start production in 2013. The production capacity will be raised to 600K tons/year by 2015 which will pose a threat for Anadolu Cam s dominant position in the market. In addition to that, Ciner Group has a competitive advantage of having huge natural soda ash capacity that will be increased by 50% to 1.6 million tons by 2014 from the current 1.1 million tons. Note that Eti Soda operates second largest Trona ( natural soda ash ) resource in the world. Besides, the Group will establish another soda ash production facility with a capacity of 2.7mn tons/year by 2016, namely Kazan Soda, joint investment with Chinese Tianchen Group in Ankara. We think that the Group would divert some of its soda ash capacity to its own glass packaging production facility. Since natural soda ash is much cheaper than synthetic one, it would create a competitive advantage for the Group, changing pricing environment in the market. Therefore, Ciner Group s investment may pose a risk factor for Anadolu Cam s sales volume, revenues and margins in the upcoming periods. Pressure by the Russian authorities to lower alcohol consumption. Although Russia is the world s 4th largest beer market, the government regulations to lower beer consumption and huge excise tax hikes constitute an impediment on the industry s growth trend. In 2012 beer production in Russia demonstrated the worst growth among other alcoholic drinks, especially in comparison to hard liquors. Apart from that, further decline in beer sales in the coming years are expected due to ban on beer advertising on TV, radio and billboards which is valid since H2 2012. Increase in NG prices is a clear negative despite limited impact compared to sister companies. Constituting 20% of total COGS of the company (lowest share among sisters), hikes in natural gas prices negatively affect financial performance. Last but not least, serving relatively more defensive markets, the company has more pricing power to reflect the increase in NG prices on its products prices. Therefore, ANACM has a safer position among the glass companies with resilient business structure and comparably less usage of NG in production process. 52
Anadolu Cam Valuation We valued Anadolu Cam by using discounted cash flow method (DCF) as we believe that it will be a better method to gauge the growth potential of the company, as well as the potential enhancement at operational profitability in the future. We did not include peer multiples analysis into our valuation as international peers have different operational structure and product composition. Also we do not want to neglect positive contributions of investments in upcoming periods. Accordingly, we came up with a 12 month target equity value of TL1,512mn, corresponding to a target share price of 3.80TL/share, which offers 38% upside potential from current levels. Therefore, we re-initiate our coverage for ANACM shares with OUTPERFORM recommendation. FIGURE 75: Valuation Summary DCF Valuation Details - TL mn Turkey Operations 1,912 International Operations 170 Listed Net Cash Financial (Debt) Investment 2012YE (822) 14.2% stake @ Soda Sanayii 205 Unlisted Financial Investments 21 Participations 26 12-Month Target Equity Value 1,512 Target Price Source: Is Investment Estimates DCF Assumptions We have run two different DCFs for company s Turkey and International operations since the company has 51% stake in its International operations except Georgia. Forecast Period: We have forecasts for the periods covering 2013-2022. 3.80 TL Upside Potential 38% Production Capacity: We estimate total production capacity to increase 2.4 million tons from the current 2.2 million tons with the capacity increase in newly moved Eskisehir plant. Domestic Capacity: We estimate production capacity of Turkey operations to increase 1.1 million tons by 2014 from existing 920K tons with the planned 180K tons capacity addition in new Eskisehir plant. We don't assume any additional capacity in Turkey going forward. International operations: We assume current 1.3 million tons production capacity to remain constant during our forecast horizon. Revenues: We believe that Anadolu Cam will benefit from 7% growth rate in Turkish glass packaging sector with its strong market position. However, Ciner Group s aggressive investments, targeting to penetrate in mineral water segment, may dent on our estimates. In international operations, we are more comfortable thanks to solid growth trend in Russian market as well as product differentials. Accordingly, we anticipate total consolidated revenues to grow at a CAGR of 7% during our forecast period. 53
Anadolu Cam EBITDA Margin: Operational margins depend partially on energy prices with a share of c.20% in total COGS, lowest in all glass segments. In addition to that, soda ash is another significant factor in determining profitability. We anticipate the company to preserve current high CURs above 95% thanks to strong demand with the defensive nature of the business. Therefore, we estimate average EBITDA margin to be 28% during 2013-2022. Note that among all glass companies, Anadolu Cam was the best performing company in terms of earnings performance in 2012. EBITDA margin erosion stood limited at 4.8pp YoY to 19.6% in 2012 thanks to 15% top-line growth achieved through price increases reflecting cost inflation and capacity increases. Assuming no further hikes in energy prices, we anticipate EBITDA margin to recover to 22.6% in 2013 with price adjustments. Cap-ex: In 2014, we anticipate US$ 100mn cap-ex for the planned 180K tons capacity increase in Eskisehir plant assuming in general US$60mn spending is required for 120K tons capacity increase in a glass packaging furnace. Sanity check: Under the assumption of US$60mn capital expenditure requirement for 120K tons capacity glass packaging business, EV/ton corresponds to US$ 500. Our DCF driven valuation implies an EV/capacity of c.us$ 482 which compares conservative with US$500/ton. WACC: We took risk free rate 7.0% with 6% Equity risk premium and 0.94x stock beta yielding a WACC of 10.9%.

Anadolu Cam Company Overview Being the representative of Sise Cam s glass packaging division, Anadolu Cam engages in the production of glass packages that are used in food, water, mineral water, milk, beer, wine and beverages (including high alcohol ones) as well as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics sectors. The company runs its operations with 10 production facilities that are located in Turkey ( Yenisehir, Mersin and Eskisehir), Russia ( Gorokhovets, Pokrovsky, Ufa, Kirishi and Kuban ), Georgia ( Mina ) and Ukraine ( Merefa). Dominates the domestic glass packaging market and has approximately 3% global market share. Expanding its operations constantly since its foundation in order to become the leading glass packaging manufacturer in the region, Anadolu Cam reached to a total production capacity of 2.2 million tons / year in 2012. The company dominates the Turkish glass packaging sector with the current 920K tons production capacity and 89% market share. The only threat for dominant position in Turkey appears to be new investments of Ciner Group. The Group plans to build 4 furnaces with a total 600K tons/ year production capacity targeting mineral water packaging segment and initial 150K tons/year capacity will be operational in 2013. Since mineral water segment is expected to be major growth driver of Turkish packaging sector (growing c.10% per annum), Ciner Group s investment may threaten Anadolu Cam s strong position.

Anadolu Cam Total domestic capacity has reached 920K tons/year following the recent 120K tons capacity expansion at Yenisehir plant which was inaugurated in January 2012. Apart from that, the company will relocate its furnace in Istanbul plant to Eskisehir which is planned to be completed until the end of 2014. The profitability is expected to be higher since the Eskisehir plant will be a brand new one with more efficient production process and manufacture value added products. 100K tons/year capacity increase in Kirishi was completed in 1Q12. In order to capture more share in increasing beer bottle market in Russia, Anadolu Cam constantly enlarged its scale through capacity additions as well as greenfield investments. Since its entrance to the market in 1999, the company invested c.us$327mn in Russia and currently total production capacity has reached to 1.2 mn tons with the contribution of 100K tons/year capacity in Kirishi in 1Q12. There is no additional investment plan on the agenda in the near future.

Similar to other emerging countries, Turkish glass packaging sector grows around 7% per annum, faster than 4% global average growth rate. Mineral water packaging segment grows even faster than total industry with 10% annual expansion. Therefore, the segment will be the main growth driver in domestic market in the forthcoming periods. Mineral waters constitute 43% of Anadolu Cam s total sales volume while beers and soft drink comprise c.13% of the total sales volume.

Anadolu Cam Targeting a more balanced structure in Russia. The Russian beer market was one of the star performers before the crisis, with a CAGR of over 11% between 1999 and 2008. The market was hit harder than most of the other sectors on the back of a tripling the beer excise duty. In 2010 the tax on beer went up by a staggering 200% in Russia. That, coupled with the economic crisis, has resulted in beer sales to fall by 15% during the past two years. Russia is now the fourth largest beer market in the world, after China, USA and Brazil. In Russia, beer was marketed and consumed as a healthier alternative to vodka and incredibly was not even classified as an alcoholic drink. However, this popularity causes concern, particularly for the government. Russians' pure alcohol consumption is already twice the critical norm set by the World Health Organization, and male life expectancy is falling. The average consumer drank about 12.5 litres of alcohol in Russia last year, with beer accounting for about 4 litres and vodka more than 5 litres. FIGURE 83: Russia Sales Volume Breakdown Water, 5% Wine, 6% High Alcoholics, 11% Food, 5% Soft Drink, 4% Beer, 70% Source: Company Anadolu Cam is one of the largest high-quality-light-weight beer bottle manufacturer in Russia. The company s main theme behind entrance to Russia back in 2002 was to capture the growing demand in underpenetrated beer bottle market. Currently, beer glass packaging holds the lion s share in Russia sales volume. However, the company targets to have a more balanced product mix via gradually dragging down the beer bottle share to c.50-60% from its current 70% levels and raising the high-margin white bottles share, due to changing consumption patterns in the country. In 2012 beer production in Russia demonstrated the worst dynamics among other excisable drinks, especially in comparison to hard drinks. For instance, vodka production increased by 6.8%, production of cognac by 3.3% in volume. However, wine production declined by 3.3%. Therefore, we believe that it is a rational strategy since the consumption and production trends of Russia are changing with the new regulations. Sales Volume and Revenues Anadolu Cam has a resilient operational performance owing to relatively defensive nature of its end clients. Despite the tough times in 2009 due to adverse market conditions in Russia, the company has achieved to increase its revenues at a CAGR of 10.5% between 2007-2012 periods thanks to regional diversification and favourable changes in product mix. Sales volume declined by 20% YoY in 2009 due to sharp contraction in demand with financial crisis, yet the company achieved to post 31% YoY sales volume growth thanks to recovery in operational regions in 2010. And last year, while all other glass companies had difficulty to raise their revenues in 2012, Anadolu Cam managed to post 15% top-line growth with the capacity additions and price increases. 58
Anadolu Cam Financial Highlights The strategy of diverting capacity from beer to non-beer category in Russia to lower the dependency on one sector. In 2012, beer sales depicted sluggish performance and is expected to decline further over the coming periods to be stimulated by ban on beer advertising on TV, radio and billboards which is valid since 1H12. Beer thus would lose advertising advantage over hard drinks. Turkey glass packaging industry is estimated to maintain its 7% annual growth rate, supported by rising population, changing consumption patterns in favour of food & beverage in glass due to health concerns and high growth rate of mineral water segment. We think that diversification to help company to maintain its growth. The diversification efforts will help company to post sustainable revenues in Russia as well. Accordingly, total consolidated revenues are anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7% between 2013 and 2022.

Anadolu Cam Raw material is the big ticket item in costs. The share of raw materials in total cost base is 30%, followed by energy with 20% and labour with 8%. Unlike other glass segments, Anadolu Cam has more ability to pass energy price hikes on product prices, due to defensive nature and lower share of energy. FIGURE 88: COGS Breakdown Others, 34% Energy, 20% Raw Materials, 30% Packaging, 8% Source: Company Labor, 8% Anadolu Cam s EBITDA margin primarily depends on capacity utilization rates which in turn related with the demand, raw material trends and energy prices. In 2009, EBITDA margin deteriorated to 21% due to low CUR with a meagre demand amid financial crises that depressed sales volumes. The company succeeded to improve its EBITDA margin to 24% afterwards through improving CUR with better demand leading to price hikes both in domestic and international operations. Price hikes in natural gas by 52% during the past one year definitely made a negative impact on margins since price hikes can be reflected on product prices with a 6 months lag by the company. Hence, despite of 6% price increase in TL terms in Turkey and 8% increase in terms of ruble in Russia, EBITDA margin eroded by 4.8pp to 19.6% in 2012 on the back of the latest 9.8% increase in NG prices effective from October, 2012. On the other hand, we believe margins will recover going forward, since no additional hike in energy prices is anticipated during the next 1-1.5 years.

Equity / Mid Cap. / Chemicals Soda Sanayii Bloomberg: SODA TI Reuters: SODA IS 29/04/2013 Company Report OUTPERFORM Upside Potential* 34% A Gleaming Value Play Dominant player in the domestic market. With 1.3mn tons of production capacity Soda Sanayii is by far the leader of the Turkish soda ash market with 85% market share. Eti Soda s entrance to the market back in 2008 had been seen as a serious threat for Soda Sanayii at that time. However, since Eti Soda exports almost all of its production, its entrance to the market had not turned into a nightmare as it was thought. Indeed since 2008, despite all noise regarding the oversupply in the global soda market, Soda s margins improved significantly, thanks to higher soda ash prices. Soda ash prices may surprise on the upside. Neither European nor US producers are reporting any downward price pressure, moreover, two biggest players - Solvay and FMC had announced recently to increase their prices by c.3% effective from January 2013 in order to reflect increasing costs. There is a consensus among global industry players that soda ash prices will go up and players expect strong volumes thanks to steady demand from detergent and glass packaging manufacturers, as well as a recovering housing industry in the US. Accordingly, we may see better pricing environment in soda ash market which will in turn affect Soda Sanayii s business positively. Becoming self-sufficient in energy. Steam that is produced through cogeneration process is the major cost item for Soda with almost 50% share. The required steam is met by the 252 MW NG fired co-generation plant of Camis Elektrik located in Mersin. In order to increase efficiency, Camis Elektrik s Mersin Power Plant, owned by Sisecam group companies, was recently merged under Soda. This way, Soda started to generate electricity revenues, which we estimate to be around TL342mn in 2013. Energy prices will be the key topic in 2013 as well. Having 50% share in total production costs, hikes in energy prices had enormous negative impact on margins in 2012. On the contrary to other companies in glass universe, we don't anticipate a quick margin recovery in upcoming periods under the assumption of only 1% increase in sales prices. In addition to that, full consolidation of lower margin electricity sales will further dent on company s margins. Accordingly, we anticipate 17% consolidated EBITDA margin in 2013 remaining almost same comparing with 2012.

Soda Sanayii Investment Positives Uncatchable market leader with 85% share in Turkey Completes vertically integrated structure of Sise Cam Self-sufficient in energy A way of getting exposure to all glass segments Estimates and target price are revised downwards, yet OUTPERFORM recommendation is maintained. We revised downwards our 2013 and future estimates following poor set of results in 2012 due to hikes in natural gas prices and 45-days of workers strike. With lower assumptions we still reiterate our OUTPERFORM recommendation for Soda Sanayii thanks to 34% upside potential from current levels. The stock trades at a handsome discount to its international peers, as well as to its sister group companies. To say; at the current Mcap Soda trades at 2013E P/E of 6.5x and EV/EBITDA of 4.5x versus the international peers of 15.2x and 6.4x, respectively and the group companies median of 10.3x and 5.5x. Dominant player in the domestic market. With 1.3mn tons of production capacity Soda Sanayii is by far the leader of the Turkish soda ash market with 71% market share. Eti Soda s entrance to the market back in 2008 had been seen as a serious threat for Soda Sanayii at that time. However, since Eti Soda exports almost all of its production, its entrance to the market had not turned into a nightmare as it was thought. Indeed since 2008, despite all noise regarding the oversupply in the global soda market, Soda s margins improved significantly, thanks to higher soda ash prices. 32% of the revenues are generated from group companies. Sise Cam group companies meet their whole soda ash demand from Soda buying 38% of the company s total production. Therefore 38% of the company s total production is guaranteed to be sold to the group companies. We think that this ratio will increase in the upcoming years, as Sise Cam increases its flat glass capacity by around 45% to 1.9mn tons from 1.3mn tons through two new float investment in Polatli, where Soda s capacity is also located. Currently, Soda sells 50% of its production to international markets and the rest (12%) to other domestic buyers. Becoming self-sufficient in energy. Steam that is produced through co-generation process is the major cost item for Soda with almost 50% share. The required steam is met by the 252 MW NG fired co-generation plant of Camis Elektrik located in Mersin. In order to increase efficiency, Camis Elektrik s Mersin Power Plant, owned by Sisecam group companies, was recently merged under Soda. This way, Soda started to generate electricity revenues (2012: TL187mn), which we estimate to be around TL342mn in 2013. In fact, we calculate the value of the cogeneration plant at US$174mn in our sum of the parts through equally blending DCF and replacement value methods, slightly lower than the valuation of US$210mn at the disclosed independent valuation report. The transaction value at the merger was set at US$189mn/TL343mn with 11% discount to the independent valuation. Way of getting exposed to all glass segments. Based on our calculations Sise Cam s annual soda ash demand is around 535K tons, making 38% of the company s total domestic sales volume of around 1.4mn tons. As all group companies meet their domestic soda ash need from Soda, the company offers the best exposure to the growth of all glass segments, other holding company Sise cam. Soda ash prices are driven by soaring raw material costs No downward pressure in soda ash prices up to now. Since the beginning of 2012 soda ash prices depicted an increasing trend that average prices rose by some 5% in 2012. For 2013, there is a consensus among industry players that soda ash prices will go up and two biggest players - Solvay and FMC had announced to increase their prices by c.3% effective from January 2013 in order to reflect increasing costs. Acting conservatively, we penciled in only 1% YoY increase in soda-ash prices in 2013. Enjoying TL weakness. Soda Sanayii s revenues are fully hard currency denominated. In terms of the breakdown, 75% of the revenues are in US$-terms, while the rest is in EUR terms. Therefore the company benefits from the TL weakness at the operational level. The company enjoys the depreciation of TL below the operational lines as well, thanks to its US$112mn US$-long position (total FX long position being TL214mn) as of end of 2012. 64
Soda Sanayii Highly efficient with 98% CUR, compared to global average of just 70% Higher CUR compared to peers. Soda Sanayi works at a higher capacity utilization rate (CUR) of c.88% compared to its international peers averaging at just 70%. This prompts to lower unit cash costs and higher EBITDA margin. To show even Soda s 2012 depressed EBITDA margin at 17.4% (negative impact of NG hikes and 45-days strike) was still above its peers average margin of 11%. Soda-only revenues to increase by 12% YoY in 2013. We expect Soda to generate TL1,453mn revenues in 2013, of which TL1,111mn is to come from chemicals sale and TL342mn from electricity sales. 2012 was the first year that the company consolidated the energy asset since April, it will be misleading to compare consolidated financials with the previous years. We estimate the company s chemicals-only margin to improve in 2013 in absence of workers strike, yet low-margin energy business will have a dilutive impact on margins. At the current Mcap, Soda trades at 2013E P/E of 6.5x and EV/EBITDA of 4.5x which implies a deep discount over its international peers median of 15.2x for 2013E P/E and 6.4x for 2013E EV/EBITDA. Compared to the median of its listed sister glass companies the stock s 2013 P/E discount is 43% and EV/EBITDA discount is 11%.

Soda Sanayii Investment Negatives Ciner Group s large investments might threat export sales Low trading volume compared to other glass companies Ciner Group s new investments might pose a threat for Soda Sanayii s export sales. Ciner Group s existing ETI Soda facility has a production capacity of approximately 1.1mn tons/year and the company announced capacity expansions of 0.6 million tons/year by 2014. The Group will establish a new soda ash production facility as well with a capacity of 2.7mn tons/year and a co-generation plant by 2016 with a total planned cap-ex of US$1.35bn. With the completion of the Kazan Soda facility (which is planned to be completed in 44 months), total soda ash production capacity of the group will reach to 4.4mn ton/year which will be the largest capacity in the world versus Soda s 2.0mn tons/year capacity (TR: 1.3mn tons/year, Bosnia: 300K tons/year, Bulgaria 300K tons/year) The Group targets to generate US$1.75bn export revenues from soda ash sales, which makes us to think that the company to export almost all of its production. As the investment will take 44 months to be completed, there would not be any impact on Soda s operations in the short term. However, for the longer term, it might pose a threat for the export sales of Soda, mainly in Southern Europe. Other European soda ash producers such as Solvay and CIECH believe that the addition of this capacity will be visible mostly in Southern Europe rather than in Central and Eastern Europe. Soda ash prices in Southern and Western Europe are approximately US$20 higher than Central and Eastern Europe, which could be eliminated with Kazan s penetration in the market, as Kazan will produce natural soda ash, whose production costs are way below synthetic one. Lower liquidity compared to other listed group companies. Soda Sanayii s free float is just 10% and its average daily trading volume is around US$0.6mn. Therefore, investors who want to build positions at Soda may prefer to do it through the holding company Sise Cam that has an average daily trading volume of around US$5mn. This had been the case in the last couple of years and unlike other conglomerates which reflected the price performance of their subsidiaries with a lag, Sise Cam typically rallied first while subsidiaries followed after the NAV discount had narrowed. Vulnerable to the deteriorations in macro environment Prone to FX fluctuations. The company s revenues are fully FX based, while all of its costs are TL denominated. Therefore, it is sensitive to FX fluctuations at operating lines. Serving to cyclical sectors. 54% of the company s revenues are generated through sales to the glass sector, which is a cyclical sector. Although glass packaging segment is resilient to economic shocks, flat glass segment is sensitive to the economic downturns as it mainly serves to construction and automotive sectors. High dependency on energy. Of the total costs, energy makes up 50% (96% of it is steam and 4% is electricity). Therefore, the company is vulnerable to the hikes in NG prices. Margins to decline after consolidation of Camis Elektrik Margins to be diluted due to takeover of lower margin electricity generation business. After taking over Camis Elektrik s 252 MW NG-fired power plant in April 2012, the company started to consolidate this business in its IFRS financials. As power generation business has lower margins than the chemicals business, margins camed down in 2012 to around 17.4% levels from 25% levels in 2011. Note that our average EBITDA margin forecast is 8% for the energy business versus c.16% for the soda ash production, throughout the forecast period. 66
Soda Sanayii Valuation We run separate DCF analysis for chemicals (production of soda ash and chromium chemicals) and energy businesses (252 MW co-generation plant) of Soda Sanayii. In sum of the parts we used the result of the DCF analysis for the chemicals business while we equally blended DCF analysis and replacement value for the electricity business. We did not include the results of international peers comparison analysis as peers are not fully comparable since they also produce chemicals other than soda ash. We nevertheless presented below the results of the peer comparison. We have also checked out the historic multiples of Soda. The company s historic P/E is 5.7x and EV/EBITDA is 4.7x versus 2013E P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples of 8.6x and 6.1x, respectively. All in all, we set our target price as TL3.40 per share for Soda, which offers 36% upside potential from the current level. At our target valuation, the stock s 2013E P/E and EV/EBITDA comes to 6.1x and 8.6x, respectively, which are far from demanding compared to BIST s respective 2013E P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples of 13.6x and 9.0x.

Our projection period is ten years covering 2013-2022. We assumed the company s CUR at 90% in Turkey and 95% in Bosnia and Bulgaria to remain constant throughout our forecast horizon. Therefore we forecast total production as well as the sales volume at around 1.9mn tons. With the completion of the 70K tons additional capacity investment in Turkey in 1Q13, we assumed total production and sales to converge to 2mn tons in 2013 and stay constant there on. We do not expect any oversupply in the domestic market given the 580K tons float line investment of Trakya Cam in Mersin, which alone absorbs the additional capacity of Soda. Soda ash prices are 5% higher y-t-d in US$ terms and around 10% higher YoY in 2012. Acting conservatively we penciled in only 1% US$ price increase in 2013 and after that we assumed prices to remain almost constant in 2014 and onwards. 67
Soda Sanayii EBITDA margin forecast for the chemicals business in 2013 is 17% remaining almost constant compared to 2012. Despite significant rise in NG prices in 2012, higher soda ash prices are set to partly mitigate the negative impact on margins. For 2014 and onwards, we estimate margins to moderate towards historical average levels of 16%. Our cap-ex estimation for 2013 is US$22mn which consists of mainly maintenance. As we did not assume any capacity increase for the coming years we projected a stable annual maintenance cap-ex of US$20mn between 2013 and 2022. Looking at the past years, we assumed change in working capital requirement to be 3% of the revenues in 2013 and onwards. Benchmarking to the 30 years Turkish sovereign rates, we have taken the risk free rate at 4.5%. With an equity risk premium of 6.0x, 1x Beta (much higher than the 0.6x Beta in the last three years, we nevertheless used a higher beta due to the very low liquidity of the stock) and 6.5% cost of debt, we calculated a US$ WACC of 9.7%. We took the terminal growth rate as 1%.

In order to see the sensitivity of our model to the changes in average EBITDA margin we have carried out a sensitivity analysis, whose results were presented at the table below. Major dynamics of the company s business flow are i) energy prices, ii) US$/TL parity and iii) soda ash prices. In order to decrease the dependency on energy Sise Cam Group invested in NG-fired power plant in 2004. The 120MW capacity became operational in 4Q06 and in order to procure increasing demand of Soda another 123MW plant became operational in 4Q09. Although with the additional capacity in 2009, the company s EBITDA margin improved significantly, we did not see the same effect in 2007 margins right after the launch of 1st power plant, due to appreciation of TL against dollar by 18% in 2007 over 2006. 68

We have attached equal weights to the DCF model and replacement value of the asset. This yielded a target valuation of US$174mn for the 243MW NG-fired power plant compared to the transaction value of US$191mn during the merger process with Soda and fair valuation of US$210mn done by independent appraisals. While DCF model resulted in a fair value of US$153mn, replacement value analysis yielded a fair value of US$194mn. Our target valuation implies an EV/MW multiple of 0.7x versus Akenerji and Zorlu Enerji, trading at EV/MW multiples of 1.9x and 1.4x, respectively. However please note that, both Akenerji and Zorlu Eneji has intensive capacity expansion plans for the coming years, hence have leveraged balance sheets. Therefore, they may not be perfectly comparable.

Soda Sanayii DCF Model Energy Business We run a dollar-based DCF model for the 243MW power plant of the company. Our DCF period covers ten years between 2012 and 2022. We assumed annual generation of 1.7bn KW to remain constant during our forecast period. We calculated almost US$75mn revenues from steam sales, which will be eliminated in consolidation. EBITDA contribution from the steam sales are expected to be around US$5mn during the forecast horizon, implying a stagnant 6% margin estimate for the steam sales lower than the average 12% margin in electricity sales. We used our energy team s electricity and NG price estimates throughout our forecast period and assumed the company to continue selling to the DUY market. In 2012 we have seen a 7% increase in electricity prices. Starting from 2013, we expected electricity prices to remain constant during the rest of the projection period. We don't anticipate a visible margin improvement and on average 8% EBITDA margin are estimated stay constant throughout our projection period. Benchmarking to the 30 years Turkish sovereign rates, we have taken the risk free rate at 4.5%. With an equity risk premium of 6.0x, Beta of 1x and a cost of debt of 6.5%, we calculated a US$ WACC of 9.7%. We have used a terminal growth rate of 2%.

Soda Sanayii has increased its paid-in capital from TL254.1m to TL368.8m via a 45% restricted rights issue. The company has taken over one of Camis Elektrik's co-generation plants in exchange for newly issued shares. Camis Elektrik has two power plants, one in Mersin with a capacity of 243MW and one in Marmara Region with a capacity of 31MW. Soda took over the Mersin plant in April and continues to use the steam produced at this plant. Sise Cam is the major shareholder of the company. Following the capital increase, Sise Cam is still the major shareholder of the company, holding 61% stake. Trakya Cam holds 11% stake while Anadolu Cam s stake at the company increased to 18% after the capital-increase from 14%,earlier. On the other hand, the share of free float declined to 10% from 15% following the transaction.

Soda Sanayii Works with high efficiency with outstanding utilization rates compared to world average. Being the largest company of Sise Cam s chemicals segment, Soda Sanayii has a total production capacity of around 2mn tons of soda ash at its plants located in 3 countries. The company s soda plant located in Mersin has a total production capacity of 1.3 mn tons, while chromium plant has a production capacity of 0.3 mn tons. Apart from that, Bosna Herzegovina Lucavac plant has 350 K tons and Bulgaria-Solvay plant has 350K tons production capacity. The company operates with high CURs of 99% and 95% at its production plants located in Turkey and abroad, respectively, much higher compared to global companies average rate of 70%. Targets to penetrate into new markets and increase product variety. Soda Sanayii managed to increase its total soda production to 1.2mn tons in 2011, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% over the past five years. During the same period of time, chromium production grew at a CAGR of 5.7% reaching 262K tons in 2011. The company management targets to increase its total soda ash production figure including Bosnia and Bulgaria to 1.9mn tons in 2013 and chromium plants production is expected to increase to 280K tons from 262K tons in 2011. Figure 105: Total Production - K tons K tons 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 891 CAGR:6.3% - Soda 5.7% - Chromium 947 949 Source: Company Annual Reports 902 1136 1209 1,098 199 217 232 238 239 262 248 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Soda Factory Krom Factory By far the leader in the domestic market with 85% share. Soda Sanayii is the indisputable leader in the Turkish soda ash market with 1.3 mn tons of production capacity, holding c.71% market share. As we mentioned earlier, 38% of Soda s production is sold to Sise Cam group companies, 50% is exported and the remaining 12% is sold to third parties in the domestic market. The largest competitor, Eti Soda has around 1 mn tons of production capacity, exporting nearly all of its production. Hence does not pose a threat for Soda Sanayi. Eti Soda operates the second largest trona (natural soda ash) ore in the world and has around 1 mn tons soda ash production capacity. Eti Soda has significant capacity expansion plans. The group announced to increase its existing 1 million tons production capacity by 0.6 million tons by 2014. Since Eti Soda focuses to sell its products in export markets especially Southern and Western Europe due to c.20$/ton higher average sales prices, we don t consider it as a threat for Soda Sanayii in a near term. 73
Soda Sanayii Financial Highlights Revenues Chemicals revenues to increase three years in a row. Thanks to buoyant demand of the glass sector, coupled with higher prices and strong US$ against domestic currency, Soda s revenues grew by a significant 32% in 2011 to reach at TL872mn. The company had recorded TL995mn revenues in 2012 from its soda & chromium sales, up only by 14% YoY, on the back of meagre demand in glass sector, esp. flat glass and production losses due to 45-days strike. In 2013, we anticipate 12% growth in soda-only revenues owing to increase in sales volume. 252 MW power plant to create electiricity revenues. Soda Sanayi took over the 252 MW NG-fired power plant in Mersin, which was previously held by other group companies, in exchange for newly issued shares. Soda continues to procure all of its steam requirement, which makes 96% of the company s energy bill, from this cogeneration plant. The electricity generation of the plant was sold, hence the company had recorded electricity revenues since April 2012. Having 184mn KW production loss due to strike, the company recorded just TL187mn revenues from electricity sales in 2012. We anticipate TL342mn revenues to be recorded from the plant in 2013.

Energy makes up 50% of Soda s cost base, hence the company is prone to energy price changes. 96% of the total energy costs are made up of steam and 4% is composed of electricity. The company meets all of its steam need from its cogeneration plant in Mersin. Raw material costs ( limestone, coke and salt ) are the second big ticket in cost composition with 30% share in total. While 7% of the total costs come from labour, remaining consists of others including depreciation. All of the cost base is in domestic currency, as opposed to 100% hard currency denominated revenues. Note that due to lower electricity prices in US$ terms in 2011, lower unit costs thanks to higher sales volume and TL depreciation, the company attained one of the highest gross margin ever in 2011 at 29%. However, gross margin deteriorated to 20.5% in 2012 due to 52% increase in natural gas prices and 45-days workers strike. 74
Soda Sanayii Dilution impact to be higher in 2013. We expect EBITDA margin to be constant in soda-only side assuming no NG price hike in 2013. We estimate the gross margin of the electricity generation asset at just 4%. Accordingly, margin dilution will be much higher in 2013 due to full-year consolidation.

Supported by lower units costs, improved CUR at 98% levels, and appreciation of hard currencies against TL, (75% of the revenues are in US$-terms and 25% in EUR terms), the company achieved one of the highest margins in its history in 2011 with 25% at the EBITDA level. However, in 2012, both Soda-only and consolidated EBITDA margins came down, due to higher energy bill for the former, dilution effect from the electricity business and negative impact of strike. Consolidated EBITDA margin to be same in 2013 compared to 2012. Electricity business was effected significantly from the strike and posted negative margins in 2012. EBITDA margin of the segment is expected to be 8% in 2013 with higher sales volume and CUR. We do not expect the company to pass fully the increase on the cost side on product prices (assumed only 1% increase in product prices) and as a result margins are forecasted to be almost constant in 2013 comparing with 2012. All in all, in consolidated basis, we estimate almost same EBITDA margin of 17% in 2013.
