TURKEY - TEKNOSA - Consolidation to fuel sound growth. Initiating with Outperform TP :15


Initiating coverage with an Outperform rating  

We initiate our coverage for Teknosa with an Outperform rating and TL15/share PT. We see Teknosa, which is the market leader of Turkish technology super store (TSS) chains, as a good proxy to play on fast growing consumer spending for technology products. In our view, increasing number of shopping malls will boost store openings of Teknosa in 2013 and 2014. Separately, anticipated consolidation in the sector and the management’s expansion plan to enter new markets in the medium term contributes to our positive stance for Teknosa.
 
Teknosa may accelerate store openings in 2013 and 2014 
Low interest rate environment and sound consumer spending in Turkey trigger shopping mall investments, which enable Teknosa to boost its number of stores rapidly. Reportedly, 30 new malls will be opened in Turkey in 2013 and 15 malls in 2014. With an assumption of 22 new stores by Teknosa in 2013, we estimate that Teknosa’s sales area will increase by 28K sqm in 2013 vs. last 5 year average of 17K sqm per annum. Coupled with strong l-f-l growth (9% in 2013 and 16% in 2014), new stores will contribute to Teknosa’s top-line growth, in our view. We estimate 20% top-line growth in 2013 and 24% in 2014.  
 

Promising outlook for the sector
With its young and fast growing population and relatively low penetration for technology products; Turkey promises compelling growth for consumer spending on technology products. Considering on-going improvement in purchasing power in Turkey, we estimate that technology product expenditure will converge towards European average of EUR360 per capita in the medium to long term from current EUR120 per capita. Accordingly, we estimate that technology product spending in Turkey will increase to EUR18bn in 2022 from EUR9bn in 2011 with a CAGR of 10%.
 
Consolidation may fuel Teknosa’s growth in the medium term
The concentration ratio (CR2) is c.60% in Turkey vs. c.90% in West Europe. In our view, Teknosa’s strategic partnership with Euronics, which is Europe’s largest buying alliance in the sector, will contribute to Teknosa’s competitiveness and trigger the consolidation in the Turkish TSS channel in the medium term. Currently, Teknosa has 42% market share in TSS channel and 15% market share in electronics retail market. Thanks to its strong balance sheet and market leadership, we see Teknosa as the potential beneficiary of the anticipated consolidation in the sector. The company already acquired 3 competitors in the last 7 years. Currently, Darty reviews its unprofitable Turkey operations for a possible exit strategy. Any possible acquisition would be an upside risk to our estimate of 17% CAGR for Teknosa’s revenues for the next 5 years.
 
Robust growth outlook attaches premium on multiples
Teknosa trades at 23% premium on its 2013E EV/EBITDA of 8.0x vs. its international peers, mainly because of the much better growth outlook (we estimate 24% CAGR for Teknosa’s EBITDA for the next 2 years vs. consensus of 8% CAGR for peers). Meanwhile, our TL15 PT which relies solely on our DCF valuation indicates 26% return potential. In our DCF valuation, we have conservative assumptions for LT top-line growth (9% between 2015 and 2023), EBITDA margin (flat at 4.4% despite anticipated contribution from Euronics deal and on-going consolidation) and working capital (17 days of cash conversion cycle in the long term vs. -40 days in 2012). On the other hand, possible risks to our estimates are any deterioration in consumer sentiment and stiffer than expected competition which may squeeze margins.
