  1. Saudi Cement Cement Sector SACCO AB - 3030 .SE May 6, 2018 Saudi Cement Company Recommendation Neutral Fair Value (SAR) 51.00 Price as of May 3, 2018 51.10 Expected Return -0.2% Tadawul Symbol 3030.SE Company Data 52 Week High (SAR) 60.40 52 Week Low (SAR) 37.20 YTD Change 6.8% 3-Month Average Volume (Thousand Shares) 207 Market Cap.

(USD Million) 2,081 Outstanding Shares (Million Shares) 153 Khalid Abdulrahman Saleh Al Rajhi 8.02% Public Pension Agency 5.62% General Organization for Social Insurance 5.22% Major Shareholders ( > 5% ) 52-week Stock Price Movement Saudi Cement Tadawul Index 120 110 Q1 2018 Saudi Cement Company announced its Q1 2018 interim results revealing a bottom line of SAR 142.2 million compared to SAR 164.7 million in Q1 2017 slumping 14% YoY, while climbing 32% QoQ from SAR 107.5 million in the previous quarter. This resulted in a net profit margin of 43.0% in Q1 2018 compared with 47.6% in Q1 2017 and 33.7% for the previous quarter. Total revenues amounted to SAR 330.5 million in Q1 2018 compared to SAR 346.4 million in Q1 2017 shrinking 4.6%, while growing 3.7% from SAR 318.5 million in the previous quarter. Furthermore, the company sold 1.45 million tons of cement in Q1 2018 compared to 1.47 million tons in Q1 2017 sliding 1.4% YoY, however soaring 10.4% QoQ from 1.31 million tons in Q4 2017. The YoY decline in first-quarter net profit was triggered by the dip in selling dispatches and the increase in cost of sales per ton, as result of reducing production, in addition to lower share in net results of associated companies and the drop in other income. In comparison with the previous quarter, the jump in net profit was attributed to the growth selling dispatches and the drop in cost of sales per ton driven by increasing production, in addition to lower general and administrative expenses as well as higher share in net results of associated companies. Gross profit concluded Q1 2018 at SAR 169 million versus SAR 191 million in Q1 2017 sliding 11% YoY, while surging 20% QoQ from SAR 141 million. Moreover, operating profit dwindled 12% YoY achieving SAR 148 million compared with SAR 168 million in Q1 2017, however soaring 32% QoQ from SAR 112 million. Therefore, the operating profit margin shrank to 44.9% compared to 48.6% for Q1 2017, nonetheless the margin leapt from 33.7% in the previous quarter. Total market sales in Q1 2018 tumbled 12.7% YoY reaching 11.91 million tons compared with 13.64 million tons in Q1 2017. The figure shrank slightly by 0.6% from 11.98 million tons in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, clinker inventory reached the highest level recording 35.7 million tons by the end of March 2018. 100 90 80 70 Source: Tadawul Quarterly Sales (SAR mn) and ROS Sales Ros 600 60% 500 50% 400 40% 300 30% 200 20% 100 10% 0 0% Source: Company Filings, Albilad Capital Research Estimates Mohammad H. Atiyah Financial Analyst MH.Atiyah@albilad-capital.com For more information, please contact: Turki Fadaak Research & Advisory Manager TFadaak@albilad-capital.com Net profit for Q1 2018 surpassed our estimate of SAR 120 million and analysts’ consensus of SAR 126 million; we believe the deviation stemmed from the significant increase in the cost per ton in the first quarter to SAR 76 per ton versus SAR 96 in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, the average selling prices in the first quarter tumbled to SAR 228 per ton compared to SAR 242 in Q4 2017, while the prices improved from SAR 224 in Q1 2017. It is worth to mention that Saudi Cement has high average selling prices compared with other companies in the sector. As stated in our previous report, we believe that the company will face a difficulty to maintain high selling prices, especially in light of high levels of clinker stocks coupled with weak demand in the local market and the slowdown in main neighboring economies, despite the expected benefit of the cancellation of the export tariffs given the company's proximity to Saudi borders. As a result, we maintained our valuation of Saudi Cement at SAR 51 per share; after reviewing future estimates for the company’s performance in the coming years factoring in the gradual removal of subsidies on energy products, which will significantly impact profitability margins going forward.
