  1. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary LEEJAM AB : Saudi Arabia 11 July 2019 US$1.11bn Market cap Target price Current price 39.55% US$2.47mn Free float Avg. daily volume SAR 90.0 SAR 79.3 +13.5% over current as at 7/10/2019 Existing rating Underweight Neutral Research Department Pratik Khandelwal Tel +966 11 211 9301, pratikK@alrajhi-capital.com Leejam Sports Co. Overweight Neutral Key themes Top-line growth is expected to be driven by double digit growth in female subscriptions, corporate segment and personal training segment. For male segment we expect a modest growth of 4-5% in membership and expect the average revenue per member to remain flattish or marginally lower in the long term. We expect the company to deliver robust growth in the near term mainly due to strong expansion plans which would increase its market share. Subscriptions are offered at a discounted price in the corporate segment and thus could partially offset the higher margins from female segment. Performance Aggressive expansion plans to drive earnings growth We initiate coverage on Leejam with a target price of SAR90/share based on equal weightage to DCF based valuation (SAR91/sh.) and P/E based valuation (SAR89/sh. based on 18x FY20e). Leejam is the market leader with a ~27% market share in KSA. The company is a play on the changing culture and reforms in Saudi with key growth drivers being rising employment of women, increasing disposable incomes, declining unemployment rate and improving health awareness. Unlike a typical gym, it is a concept based proven fitness centre offering a range of fitness and sports related activities. Its moat is a combination of its strong brand image and wide geographical presence which give it a competitive advantage over its peers. The company has plans to expand its stores aggressively by ~30% over the next three years. With 33% topline growth in 3 years, clean balance sheet, healthy EBITDA margin of 39% (in 2018), ROIC of 17% (FY 2018) and a healthy dividend payout ratio (historically over 50%), the company looks extremely attractive from a long term perspective. With an upside of 13.5% from our target price we initiate our coverage with an Overweight rating. Investment themes Topline growth to continue amidst market share expansion  The company added 35 gyms (126 total gyms as on 2018) from 2015 to 2018 implying a CAGR in gym area of 11% leading to a topline growth of 13%. We expect new 63 gyms to be added in the coming 4 years which will help the company to grow its topline by CAGR 10% during 2019-23 as area expands by 8% during the same period. This would improve its member density from 0.6 subscribers/sqm to 1 subscriber/sqm (lower than global average of 2.5 subscribers/sqm). This will improve capacity utilization, top line and sequentially the bottom line.  We believe there is ample demand given that current gym penetration rate stands at 8% and the market is still nascent. With regards to the total market, as of the latest data, there were 971 fitness centres with 1.1mn fee paying members dominated by male (82% male members). The total addressable market in terms of the number of members is ~14mn which translates to a total market size of SAR2.9bn.  Leejam has a reasonable presence in the corporate sector as it derives ~12% (FY 2018) of its revenue from corporate segment. It is the fastest growing segment as it grew 400% over the last three years (revenue stood at SAR103mn in 2018). The company is focusing on increasing its corporate tie ups and expects this segment to grow by 50% in 2019.

  2. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 Healthy margins to sustain due to cost optimization  Lower marketing expenditure is expected to improve margins in the near term. Fitness industry as a whole is highly competitive and promotions and marketing plays an important role to drive members to the centers. In 2017, consumer spending weakened due to various Government levies. To support the top-line growth marketing expenditure was increased in 2018 as a result of which the net margins were negatively impacted. In the future the company indicated that it will lower its marketing cost by focusing more on social media campaigns which are cheaper compared to direct advertisements. This should improve the net profit margin in the near term.  The promotional expenditure in the form of direct discounts is also expected to be reduced compared to previous years. Company has recently signed an MoU with PPA (Public Pension Agency) to provide discounts up to 50% to retired people and their spouses. This move should help the company in utilizing the space during non-peak hours. In the female segment due to mismatch in demand and supply the need for any promotions is reduced, therefore we expect the net margin to improve by 300bps from 22.5% to 25.5% by the end of 2019E.  The company operates on leasing model (~98% of the total properties are leased) rather than owning the properties. It reduces any debt requirements and hence interest cost is low, this improves the net profit margin. Going forward we expect the company to fund capex for expansion through a mix of debt and cash (maintain the current debt equity ratio) therefore the margins in long term are expected to remain intact. We assume the net margins to gradually settle around 23% by 2023E. Higher demand in female segment to boost topline in near term; however competition in medium term to ease margins  The acquisition of female centre license in 2017 gives the company a first mover advantage and an opportunity to increase its member base in a new and untapped female fitness market. As of 2018 the company had 26 female centres and it plans to open 10-12 centres each year over the next 4-5 years horizon. We expect the female segment to contribute ~30% to the total revenue (expected to reach to SAR 338mn by 2021E).  One of the reasons for increase in demand for female gyms is affordable subscription prices in current scenario. Due to limited supply few years back, the subscription charges on a monthly basis were as high as SAR 2000; post licensing this has reduced significantly to SAR 400 per month. Another often underestimated reason for low women gym penetration in the past was high transportation costs. Earlier female subscribers had to spend considerable amount on transport expenses on reaching the gym. However now with application based cab service providers as well as Government’s move to allow female driving has reduced this cost thus bringing down the total cost of going to gym significantly.  Due to higher demand for female gyms and relatively low supply the company is able to maintain higher gross margin (~50%) compared to the male segment, a higher level of margins enables it to breakeven in just three months (globally 12-15 months). In the long term we believe the competition to intensify and once there is a price discovery in the market the need for higher promotions to capture market share will negatively impact the margins. The gross margin of female segment will gradually fall to ~37% by 2023E.

  3. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 Government focus towards increasing participation of citizens towards fitness activities augers well for the overall industry Figure 2 Government 's Expenditure on healthcare (SAR bn) 120 Government is focusing to increase the participation of citizens towards sports and fitness by creating world class sports facilities and infrastructure. As a part of the survey conducted by General Sports Authority it was found that only 20% men and 7% women participate in physical activity once a week. This sedentary lifestyle is one of the key reasons for increasing lifestyle related diseases such as obesity and diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Government intends to increase the participation rate to 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030G. As a result of its initiative, the Council of Economic and Development Affairs (CEDA) have accepted some reforms such as granting license to female fitness centres, creating infrastructure for sports around the country and developing sports community group throughout the kingdom. In our view such initiatives increases the size of the overall fitness market in the kingdom. 113 SAR bn 96 100 80 80 60 40 20 2016 2017 2018 Source: Company data, Al Rajhi Capital Diversified product portfolio mitigates the risk of rising competition Leejam offers various sports activities in a uniform subscription based format. In KSA there are very few (almost negligible) fitness centres which provide various fitness activities viz gym, football, volley ball, basketball, swimming, tennis court, lounge facilities, etc. under one roof. Due to high capital requirement and technical knowhow related to real estate and operations we believe that the company’s business model cannot be copied easily. Therefore amidst rising competition it should be able to retain its members due to its unique offering and brand image.

Due to low debt the interest cost remains low and net margins remains high. Moreover due to advance receipt of subscription income company’s working capital needs reduces and helps it to maintain a positive cash flow which in turn supports future expansion and healthy dividend pay-out. Valuation We value Leejam using equal weights for five year DCF and P/E based relative valuation. Our DCF based target is SAR 91 per share, assuming 9% WACC and 3% terminal growth. Our P/E based target price (based on 18x FY20e earnings) stands at SAR89 per share. Accordingly, the equal weighted target price stands at SAR 90, implying 13.5% upside from the current price.

  12. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 KSA Fitness Industry Overview The fitness and sports industry in Saudi Arabia is at a nascent stage currently , the rising health issues and people’s awareness towards the health benefits and sports as a recreational activities has created a significant opportunities for the overall fitness industry. The fitness market in Saudi Arabia is segmented into male and female, while male market is in its early stage of maturity, female market is in its infancy. There are total 0.9mn fee paying male members and 0.2mn female members while the total addressable market consists of ~13mn members (Source: Prospectus) which creates much scope for growth (Current penetration rate is ~8%). The total addressable market is around SAR 2.9bn in which the female market size is 0.65bn (Source: Prospectus). Figure 17 Average Members ('000) '000 1,000 890 900 790 800 707 700 624 600 500 541 458 400 300 200 100 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Source: Company data, Al Rajhi Capital The number of members has grown from 458,000 to 890,000 at a CAGR of 14% from 2012 to 2017 and this number is further expected to increase at a double digit as people are becoming aware of the health benefits in the kingdom. Structural and demographic changes to aid overall industry growth  In Saudi Arabia life style diseases such as obesity and diabetes resulting from unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle are very common. As per World health organization ~35% of the total population is obese in the kingdom and it is more common in females compared to their male counterparts. It is one among the top 15 countries in the world where diabetes is prevalent among adults. Thus maintaining fitness is a key issue in Saudi Arabia and with relatively young population the trend is changing as people become aware of the health benefits in the long run. Further there is an increase interest among females to shift towards a healthy lifestyle by joining fitness centres mainly due to affordability of subscription prices and increasing disposable income of the family.

  13. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019  According to the family support and the market survey conducted in 2018 more than 50% of the people admitted that they would like to join the fitness centres subject to timing, price and convenience. This speaks volumes about the prospective increase in the overall fitness market once the market matures with the opening of new gyms. As per our calculations we expect the average Saudi household income to increase to SAR 15,602 per month which should increase the discretionary spending towards fitness and leisure activities. Globally people spend ~4-5% of their total income towards fitness and sports related activities. We have assumed in our analysis that the total expenditure on health and fitness as a percentage of total income will reach to 4% by 2021E thus taking the total monthly expenditure on health and fitness to SAR624mn.

License to female fitness centres is a mega boost to the fitness industry. In 2017, government issued licenses for the opening of exclusive female centres. The current number of female gym member is 0.2mn and this is expected to increase drastically given the fact that the obesity is more prevalent in females. Increasing female employment will increase the disposable income of the women which in turn should increase the female participation towards fitness activities. As shown in the table below the government spending towards health services and social development has increased at a CAGR of 9.20% from 2012-2017. In 2017 the government expenditure towards healthcare was ~11% of the total expenditure, this is a very high number compared to global average (4-5%). Therefore the government is pushing the people hard to adopt a healthy lifestyle so that the overall public spending towards the healthcare is reduced.

Among those 12 “Quality of Life program 2020” is one of them which focuses on improving and enhancing the quality of life mainly through sports, entertainment and sports & culture. Talking about the sports sector in particular, the sector has been underdeveloped mainly due to limited high quality facilities, low awareness and social & regulatory impediments. In Saudi Arabia ~13% of the total population is physically active once a week compared to ~72% in the United Kingdom. Due to insufficient infrastructure and lack of support to pursue sport as a full time career, the participation of Saudi Arabia in Olympics has also been very limited. However government is taking several initiatives to build a sports and fitness ecosystem by building mass participation strategies to motivate people to take up sports and physical activities and inviting private sector to invest in the fitness and sports industry. The current number of Saudi Olympic sportsmen per million of the population is 0.38. The aspiration is to reach 2.81 Saudi Olympic sportsmen per million of the population by 2030 which is in line with globally high performing countries. To achieve this program private sector is expected to play a big role by building a fitness based ecosystem such as gym, sports training centres, health clubs, fitness equipments, etc to name a few. We believe that the entire fitness and sports industry is taking a new shape and it is at the early stages of planning. In the coming years the demand for high quality fitness clubs should increase and Leejam being a market leader in the fitness segment is in a strong position to benefit from the “Quality of Life Program 2020”.

Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 Key Growth Drivers Market Leader in KSA with strong potential to grow its market share Leejam is a market leader with ~27% of the total gym members in the kingdom operating ~12% of the total gym in KSA. It has a strong brand image with wide presence throughout the kingdom and UAE. The fitness industry has evolved over the last five years from just a traditional gym to a concept fitness centres .One of the reasons why we like Leejam over other players in the KSA is because it offers various fitness regimens under one roof.

It provides luxurious services including lounge, towels, valet parking and some additional sports amenities like virtual golf and tennis court. There are four FT plus centres with minimum age requirement of 25 years to join a club.  Fitness time: It offers a middle level subscription with lesser facilities compared to FT plus at almost half the price (the annual subscription is SAR4, 988).There are 49 fitness time centres and it contributes almost 50% of the total revenue.  Fitness time pro: It is a value based format which competes with the other budget gyms in the country. The annual subscription is priced at SAR3, 255. It contributes ~25% to the total revenue with 41 centres in the kingdom.

Fitness industry as a whole is highly competitive and promotions and marketing plays a key role in differentiating one fitness centre from another. Leejam observed a subdued growth in 2017 (+5% y-o-y) mainly due to decreasing disposable income resulting from structural reforms. However in 2018 the company rolled out promotions and spent heavily on advertising which ultimately had a positive impact on its topline growth in 2018. We believe that the benefits of promotions and marketing will accrue to the company in 2019 without the need to spend any heavy amount towards advertisement. It is indicated that the company will cut off its marketing and promotional expenditure as they resort to aggressive social media campaigns (which is a cheaper alternative) to attract new subscribers. This is expected to improve the margins for the company and higher realized profits. In our expectations the net margin should improve by 250bps from 22.5% to 25% by the end of 2019E.

The company is trying to increase the utilization rate to 1 subscriber/sq. It is also exploring new ways to utilize the gym space during off peak hours by curating special packages for retired persons who can use the gym at off peak timing at special rates. We believe such strategies to drive the top line as well as bottom line.  Corporate segment to drive topline in future: The corporate segment is growing rapidly, in 2018 it comprised of ~12% of the company’s total revenue. In corporate dealings it offers discounts ranging from 20% to 45% to the members. The corporate segment grew 400% over the last 3 years (SAR 103mn of revenue in FY2018). Going forward the company is taking efforts to increase the corporate tie ups which should increase the revenue contribution of this segment. The management expects this segment to grow by 50% in 2019. In 2018 the total corporate clients were 255 and total corporate members were 40,000 and based on our calculations we expect the revenue contribution from this segment to be SAR225mn (19% of the 2021E revenue). However the growth in corporate revenue will have a downward pressure on the gross margins. Disclosures Please refer to the important disclosures at the back of this report. 18

The company benefitted from the demand supply mismatch in the recent past resulting in a higher margins and a faster breakeven period (Currently the breakeven period for female centres is three months compared to 12-15 months globally). Another reason for increase in female subscription is affordability in subscription prices, few years back there were very few female gyms where the average monthly subscription would cost around SAR 2000 and an additional cost of SAR 1000 was paid to car drivers to drive the female to the gym and take her back home. Now with licensing of female fitness centres in 2017 and granting of driving license to female has created a positive impact in terms of demand for the gyms in the kingdom which in turn has created significant opportunity in untapped female fitness segment. The average price for a mid-tier fitness centre has come down to SAR300-400 per month due to increasing supply and demand. Based on management guidance and our estimates we expect a CAGR of 20% for the number of female fitness centres from 26 in 2018 to 66 in 2023. As per our calculations, revenue from female segments should increase to SAR483mn by the end of 2023 (we have assumed 75% occupancy) and contribute approximately more than one third to the total revenue of the company. Rising female employment is another reason why we believe the higher demand for the female segment is sustainable. Currently only 13% of the total employed females are going to the gym, we expect this number to increase and reach to 20% by 2023e.

As a part of the survey conducted by General Sports Authority it was found that only 20% men and 7% women participate in any kind of physical activity once a week. Sedentary lifestyle and lack of good quality fitness facilities are the key reasons for the obesity and other lifestyle related diseases affecting the people. Therefore government intends to increase the participation to 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030G. As a part of its initiative the council of economic and development affairs (CEDA) have accepted some reforms to transform the provision of physical activity in the kingdom. Some of the initiatives are designing and delivering university sports groups throughout the kingdom, increasing female participation by licensing of fitness centres for women, developing community sports group throughout the kingdom. We believe such measures would increase the awareness about the benefits of physical activities and bring a cultural shift where people would pursue sports as a career and give high priority to health. This will in turn benefits companies like Leejam which provides various sports facilities. Low market penetration of organized players provides an opportunity for Leejam The fitness industry in Saudi Arabia is highly fragmented and under penetrated, as of 2017 there were approximately 971 fitness centre with 1.1mn fee paying members dominated by male (82% male members). As per the company’s prospectus, the total addressable market in terms of the number of members is ~14mn which translates to a total market size of SAR2.9bn; this means the current penetration rate of gym stands at 8%. Leejam has a strong brand image in the kingdom and it has a wider presence in the prominent cities like Riyadh (48 centres), Jeddah (23 centres), Dammam and Al-Khobar with 6 centres each. The majority of the population with high disposable income is concentrated in the above mentioned four cities and management is planning to add 10-12 female centres and 3-5 male centres each year in the upcoming future. We believe such expansion will help the company in maintaining a strong leadership position in the fitness industry. Though the entry of barriers is relatively low in fitness industry but high capex requirement will lead to a market consolidation with a shift towards the organized players in future.

  21. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 Figure 35 Leejam Geographic Footprint Source : Investor Presentation, Al Rajhi Capital Diversified service portfolio to offset threat from rising competition:  Offerings for all age group: Its wide product offering ranges from traditional gym to swimming pool, group classes, football ground, tennis court, rowing, basketball court, Jacuzzi, lounges, virtual golf course, volley ball, circuit training, HIIT, boxing, squash, semi Olympic pool and business centres. Amidst limited entertainment options and sports facilities in the kingdom a fitness time centre provides everything under one roof. With wide service offerings it attracts members of different age group and provides a great place for socializing.  Personal training a high margin growing segment: The Company provides personal training (PT) facilities at an additional cost, to maintain the standard and quality it doesn’t allow any freelancing in PT segment. This is gaining a strong traction and under this model trainers are paid on a commission basis based on the number of personal training sessions they conduct. The revenue contribution from PT is SAR60mn (+29% Y-O-Y) which was 7% of the total 2018 revenue. We expect this segment to grow in the coming years and being a high margin segment it should have a positive impact on the bottom-line of the company. Positive FCF to drive future growth  Leasing Model: The Company leases its centres rather than owning (~98% of the centres are leased while 2% are owned). This makes Leejam a cash generating unit as the debt requirement reduces significantly, one key advantage of this business model is that the company can finance future capex (especially to expand the female fitness centres) through FCF thus keeping the debt at minimum level. We expect the company to incur a capex of SAR236mn and SAR264mn in 2019E and 2020E respectively which will be funded by a mix of debt and equity. This will also help the company in servicing the interest and debt repayment on time. Disclosures Please refer to the important disclosures at the back of this report. 21

Strong FCF to support high dividend payout ratio- Leejam’s historical pay- out ratio has been over 50% and we believe that it is sustainable in the long run even after aggressive expansion because once the company repays its debt its FCF will free up which will allows the company in maintaining the existing payout levels. We expect DPS to increase to SAR2.63 by 2021E. Other growth opportunities The company is taking initiatives to grow its existing core portfolio of men’s fitness facilities by adding various value added services like providing laundry services, business centres, lounge facilities and different exercise plans like group classes, professional training for football to provide world class experience to its members. We see Leejam as a complete health club where a member gets access to a wide range of fitness activities with a single subscription. With unique business model which ensures strong cash flow the company is well poised to drive its topline going forward with sustainable margins (revenue growth 12% for 2020E) and a healthy dividend pay-out ratio.

  23. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 Key Investment Risks : Competitive Industry  Increasing competition from local players will put pressure on margins- The fitness industry is highly fragmented in Saudi Arabia with the top five players having a market share of 38% in terms of membership and 20% in terms of fitness centres. The barriers to entry in this market are relatively low as the business model could be easily replicated by the competitors in a very less time. Thus the fitness industry is a highly competitive one as well cost sensitive. Any cost cutting by smaller players might hurt Leejam as its margin will come down in an effort to retain its members. Moreover the female centres just started in 2017 and any successful pricing strategies in this segment can be copied easily by other competitors which in turn would have an adverse impact on margins in the short term.

In the worst case the net profit margins for 2019E and 2020E might decrease significantly to 19% and 20% as against our best case estimate of 25%.

The US based Xponential fitness centre has recently signed a franchise agreement to open 50 female studios over the next three years; this is going to increase the competition as well as challenge for Leejam to maintain its market share and net margins. In Fig 38 we have shown the impact of intensifying competition on the company’s margin. Disclosures Please refer to the important disclosures at the back of this report. 23

This in turn will have an adverse impact on the company’s business as spending towards gym and leisure forms a part of discretionary spending. In past Leejam has faced such a slowdown in 2017 and 2018 when the government stopped cost of living allowance and increased the prices of utilities, Leejam’s top line grew 5% and 9% respectively while the bottom-line had a negative growth of -14% in 2017 and a marginal growth of 3% in 2018. In our view any such structural changes which decrease the disposable income of the people will have an adverse impact on the company’s financials.

  25. Leejam Sports Co Consumer Discretionary 11 July 2019 Key Financials Revenue : The company has delivered a strong topline growth in the past except for 2017 (+5% y-o-y) and 2018 (+9% y-o-y) where the business was impacted due to weaker consumer spending on the back of structural reforms in the economy. However we are expecting a higher consumer spending towards health and fitness as people adapt to the reforms. In our view the topline is expected to grow by 18% y-o-y in 2019E mainly driven by ~35% growth in the number of female subscribers and 4% growth in the number of male subscribers. Over the time due to low entry barrier as the competition intensifies we expect the top line growth to subside to close to ~9% and reach SAR 1.3bn going forward by 20203E.

The company is currently in the green zone of Saudization. The second biggest expenditure after salaries is lease rentals as the company leases almost 98% of the properties, rentals comprises of ~16% of the total revenue and it is going to increase going forward as the company expands, however cost related to marketing and promotions should reduce in near future as company resorts to social media marketing (a cheaper alternative) however in medium term we expect this cost to increase as the competition increases before again falling down in long term. The overall SG&A is expected to remain 12% of the total sales in long term. Disclosures Please refer to the important disclosures at the back of this report. 25

Since most of the trainers are hired from abroad we don’t see any negative impact on operations due to Saudization requirements as the company is currently in green zone of Saudization. It is entitled to claim the refund of expat levy but as per our last discussion with the management in March 2019 they have not claimed any refund of expat levy paid.

EBIT margin is expected to increase in 2019E by 200 basis points to 28% mainly due to slight decrease in SA&A and then settle down gradually to 26%. The net profit margins should increase in near term (26% in 2019E and 2020E) on the back of higher revenue and gross margins, however in the long term it will settle down gradually between 22-23%.

Explanation of Al Rajhi Capital’s rating system Al Rajhi Capital uses a three-tier rating system based on absolute upside or downside potential for all stocks under its coverage except financial stocks and those few other companies not compliant with Islamic Shariah law: "Overweight": Our target price is more than 10% above the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 12 month time horizon. "Neutral": We expect the share price to settle at a level between 10% below the current share price and 10% above the current share price on a 12 month time horizon. "Underweight": Our target price is more than 10% below the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 12 month time horizon. "Target price": We estimate target value per share for every stock we cover. This is normally based on widely accepted methods appropriate to the stock or sector under consideration, e.g. DCF (discounted cash flow) or SoTP (sum of the parts) analysis. Please note that the achievement of any price target may be impeded by general market and economic trends and other external factors, or if a company’s profits or operating performance exceed or fall short of our expectations.
