    150Years of Telecommunications

    1854 witnessed the birth of Egypt's telecommunications industry. The firsttelegraph line connecting Cairo and Alexandria was inaugurated early in

    In 1918, the Egyptian Government nationalized the Eastern Telephone

    Company for 755,000 L.E. and created the Telephone & Telegraph

    Authority, a forerunner ofTelecom Egypt.

    In 1978, with a capacity of 120 channels, the first earth station linking

    Egypt by satellite to the rest of the world was opened in Maadi.

    Telecom Egypt launched its first mobile services in November 1996.

    1- Current Ratio measures whether or not your business has enough

    resources to pay its bills over the next 12 months. So for Telecom Egypt,

    the current ratio gives a clean bill of health. For every dollar in current

    liabilities, there is L.E 2.10 in current assets in 2010.

    2- Quick Ratio this is obviously a good position for the firm to be in. Itcan meet its short-term debt obligations with no stress. If the quick ratio

    was more than 1.00X, that mean Telecom Egypt would have is better than

    a quick ratio of less than 1.00X with regard to maintaining liquidity and

    not being forced into the position of having to sell inventory.

    3-Total debt ratio this ratio shows how much Telecom Egypt is in debt,

    making it an excellent way to check its long-term solvency. Telecom

    Egypt, then, has L.E0.3 pound in debt for every one pound of assets. So

    for this business, the total debt ratio tells us that this business is not in

    good health and may become really ill; for good health, the total debt ratio

    should be 1 or less.

    4- Profit Margin Telecom Egypt shows how much net profit are its sales

    producing? So for every pound in sales, Telecom Egypt is generating a

    little more than 23 piaster net profit in 2010. How healthy is this? Other

    than the obvious generality that the higher the profit margins the better off

    the business, the profit margin is an extremely useful measure of how

    Telecom Egypt is performing over time.

    Forecasting

    Forecasts: Local economic turbulence to negatively affect retail revenue

    The wider economic downturn has taken its toll on household incomes in

    Egypt, which in turn, has had a negative impact on overall active

    subscribers for Telecom Egypt and retail revenue. Retail revenue dropped

    by an annual 13% at the end of 3Q11. We lower our revenue forecasts for

    FY11, FY12 and FY13 by 8%, 4% and 4%, respectively, because of

    increased pressure from the retail revenue side of operations, as economic

    volatility may remain a factor throughout 2012. On the other hand,

    proceeds from Telecom Egypts submarine cable projects (TE North) and

    growth from TE Data seem to be unaffected, for the most part, by the

    turbulence in the local economy.

    We lower our EBITDA marginally through 2013F, as a result of our lower

    top-line forecasts. Thus, we lower our EBITDA forecasts for FY11, FY12

    and FY13 by 5%, 0.9% and 0.3%, respectively.

    Valuation: We lower our target price by 17% to E16.7 per share

    27/30

    We believe short-term volatility may remain at least until the first half of

    2012, or until the presidential elections are over. Accordingly, we take a

    cautious stance towards Egyptian telecoms under our coverage and raise

    our discount rate from 10.5% to 14.5% to adjust for the higher political

    risk in the country. We value Telecom Egypt based on our sum-of-the-

    parts and DCF valuation model, revising our target price downwards by

    17% to E16.71 compared to our previous target price of E20.15 and

    reiterating our Buy recommendation on the stock. Telecom Egypt is

    currently trading at PE multiples of 8.1x and 8.3x for FY11F and FY12F,

    which are 22% and 20%, respectively, below our average MENA peers

    multiple of 10.4x for 2011 and 2012. We believe Telecom Egypt retains

    some value despite current local volatility, as we believe the economic

    risk has been fully priced in the stock price and estimated dividend yields

    for 2011F and 2012F are attractive, with an average yield above 9%

    compared to our average MENA dividend yields of 5%. The main

    downside risks are continued political and economic instability, which

    could directly affect subscriber spending habits, and a more aggressive

    fixed-to-mobile substitution trend.

    Key assumptions

    We revise our target price slightly downwards to E20.12, maintaining

    our Buy recommendation. Based on our forecasts, Telecom Egypt is

    currently trading at a PE of

    8.1x for 2011, which is 22% below our average MENA peers multiple for

    2011 of 10.4x.

    In our valuation of Telecom Egypt, our base-case scenario assumptions

    include: cost of equity of 19%, based on a risk-free rate of 14.5% and a

    premium of 5%, cost of debt of 15%, a terminal growth rate of 1.5% and a

    beta of 0.83x.

    Valuation and target price Sum-of-the-parts and discounted cash flow

    TEs sum-of-the-parts/DCF valuation yields a 12-month fair value of

    E16.71, which is more than 20% higher than the current price of

    E13.66.
