However, the recovery observed in March points to a more favorable outlook going forward Valentín Mendoza Senior Strategist, Equity [email protected] ▪ We believe the hardest times are behind us. The economic recovery and the progress in vaccine distribution should support the recovery, Juan Barbier, CFA Analyst which should be reflected in significant growth [email protected] ▪ We set a PT of MXN 39.00 (FV/EBITDA 2021E of 7.8x below current HOLD multiple). However, given a limited return after the recent rally, we Current Price $34.18 downgrade our rating to HOLD PT $39.00 Upside Potential 14.1% Max – Min LTM ($) 36.7 – 17.6 The pandemic impacted profitability in Europe more than expected. In the Market Cap (US$m) 1,429.4 face of the reinforced sanitary measures in all regions, implementing temporary Shares Outstanding (m) 838.6 Float 48.52% (and some permanent) unit closures, as well as time and capacity restrictions, Daily Turnover US$m 70.4 figures for the quarter were below our estimates. Revenues declined 15.6% y/y Valuation metrics LTM FV/EBITDA 13.0x to MXN 10.212 billion, as a result of a 13.3% y/y decline in consolidated SSS P/E N.A. (Mexico: -8.4%; Europe: -29.2%; South America: +4.9%), reflecting the effects MSCI ESG Rating* N.A. of a heavy snowfall in Spain, an adverse FX effect, and the closure of 122 units in the LTM. On the other hand, despite operational weakness, Starbucks, Relative performance to Mexbol Domino's Pizza and Burger King (which are the most relevant in the portfolio) LTM continue to stand out for their good performance. Meanwhile, an aggressive 100% 80% cost-cutting strategy (achieving MXN 880 million in savings), government 60% support in Europe and efficiencies in the Southern Cone were not enough to 40% offset the operating deleveraging caused by sales decline. EBITDA reached 20% MXN 2.045 million (-18.0% y/y) and the respective margin contracted 60 bps 0% -20% to 20.0% (Mexico: -5.3pp; Europe: +20.9pp; South America: +9.4pp). Finally, Apr.-20 Jul.-20 Oct.-20 Jan.-21 Apr.-21 at the net level, a loss of MXN 312 million was recorded as a consequence of MEXBOL ALSEA* the fragility at the operating level. Recovery in sight. As soon as 2Q21, when comparative fundamentals will start to be easy, the reactivation of economic activity should support significant growth. We raise our PT to MXN 39.00; but given the limited upside potential after the rally, we recommend HOLD.
