Tat Konserve (Buy, TRY 2.80)

We have revisited our model and reduced our 12M TP for the stock to TRY 2.80/share from TRY 4.60, mainly due to the cut in our Harranova estimates, a worse-than-expected operational performance in 2011 and the change to our macro estimates (i.e. higher RFR & lower GDP growth). Nevertheless, we maintain our Buy rating due to 28% upside potential. We now have very conservative forecasts for the Harranova project, while any improvement in realizing guidances will be the main upside trigger for the stock.

  Harranova creates the main upside since ca. 25% lower production cost in the region due to government incentives (compared to the western plant) should improve margins with further steps taken in the project. Tat targets 165,000 tons of tomato paste production in Harranova by 2016, tripling the current total production capacity, yet due to the delay in realizing previous targets, we cut our estimates and we expect total production capacity to almost double (increase by 91%) by 2016.

  Tat Konserve was one of the top underperformers on the ISE in 2011, by 33% yoy, suggesting that the market is overly punishing the delay in realizing previous guidance in Harranova. In addition, government interventions in the meat sector and high input costs during 2011 should be the other reasons for the underperformance, while these should not be further concerns for 2012 (especially with a stabilized meat sector). Thus, we expect a recovery in the stock’s relative performance in 2012 on the back of the defensive nature of its business and operational recovery in segments.

  High leverage ratio to improve with the expected sale of Tuzla land, creating an upside risk for the stock. In Sep’2011, two advisers were hired to sell the property and 175,000 sqm land should be sold at an attractive value, which we calculate to be around USD 40-50mn, since the district is expected to be on the route of the 3rd bridge’s path.

  The stock currently trades at 11.0x 2012E EV/EBITDA and 16.7x 2012E P/E, compared to its 3-year historical average of 12.0x and 13.1x, respectively.
