Uganda Clays Ltd FY2015 Published Accounts Snapshot Uganda Clays Ltd FY2015 Published Financials Snapshot 18th May 2016 Hold Uganda Clays Limited (USE: UCL) Financial Statements 2015: Rise in Topline Revenues Eroded by Shareholder Loan Price 17/05/16 UGX 15 12m Target Price* UGX 13 Analyst Opinion: Downside to TP (13.33%) HOLD with a 1-Year Target price of Ugx13 ($0.004): Uganda Clays Limited published financial statements on 16th May 2016 revealed a marginal upside in the company’s core business owing to higher revenues and reduced operating expenses compared to 2014. The improved performance was also supported by one off incomes of Ugx3.1Bn ($936,382) arising from land acquired by the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) for the construction of the Entebbe express highway. Management notes revealed that the loss of excavated clay indicated on the 2015 income statement would be paid back in 2016. UCL managed to pay off the bank loans which amounted to Ugx3Bn ($902,256) [Source: Annual Report 2014] over the past year. However, effects of this payment were overshadowed by accruing interest and penalties arising from payment defaults on the shareholder loan. Back in 2010, Uganda Clays took on unsecured debt from its largest shareholder (with a 32.52% stake), NSSF Uganda, amounting to Ugx11.05Bn ($3.3Mn). This loan attracts an interest of 15% with a loan tenure of 10 years and a 2-year grace period. Owing to the slowdown in business and poor management in recent years, the company has had a difficult time financing this debt. As a result, the loan amount has since grown to about Ugx19.7Bn ($5.9Mn). UCL revealed to its shareholders at last year’s Annual General Meeting that the company was in discussions with NSSF Uganda on a possible conversion of this debt into equity. The results of these discussions are yet to materialize publicly. The company’s cash flows continued to recover with a surge to Ugx1.4Bn ($421,885) by the end of last year, widely boosted by the Ugx3.1Bn ($936,382) received for part of the company’s land in Kajjansi. UCL share price experienced a decelerating trend into the last quarter of 2015. The rumored debt to equity conversion appears to have offered shareholders some optimism which saw the share price rise to its current level of Ugx15 ($0.005) from an all-time low of Ugx13 ($0.004) in mid-October. Currently, there is more demand on the counter than supply as investors anticipate the debt to equity Figure 1: Uganda Clays Ltd Share Price Trend (Year on Year) conversion. Investors should be aware of possible dilution effects in case the proposed debt to Source: Bloomberg, Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) equity conversion is carried out. We issue a HOLD recommendation on the counter owing to sluggish growth in revenues and lack Share Details of public statements from the company with details of the proposed debt to equity conversion. Symbol (Bloomberg) UCL UG Revenues grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.3% over the past five years. This is possibly Market USE on the back of rising competition in the clay sector. Furthermore, management revealed that the Last Price Ugx15 plant in Kamonkoli is still performing below capacity which could also be a contributing factor to 52 Week Range Ugx13 – 18 the slow growth of the business. We think that management has done a commendable job so far by mitigating cost of sales that have led to better gross profit margins. With a gross profit of Ugx7.7Bn Year to Date Vol Traded 8,076,025 ($2.3Mn) this year, the company is a little shy of its 5-year record of Ugx11Bn ($3.3Mn) registered Year to Date Turnover Ugx116.6Mn ($35,067.3) in 2010. However, the sustainability of the alternative fuels frequently mentioned by the company Year to date Return 0.00% (coffee husks) remains a concern. Our opinion is that although Uganda Clays is showing signs of Shares Outstanding 900,000,000 recovery, the positive results may be undermined by the growing shareholder loan.

Table 3 Source: Uganda Clays Ltd Published Financial Statements for FY2015 (Released on 16.05.2016), Crested Database Earnings per share progressed to Ugx-(1.34) ($-0.0004) in 2015 from Ugx-(5.75) ($-0.002) in 2014. Net Asset Value per share reduced to Ugx28.42 ($0.0085) (FY2014=Ugx29.76 or $0.009). Return on equity and Return on assets were -4.72% and -1.93% respectively. Debt to equity rose to 1.45 from 1.42 in 2014. UCL’s gross profit margin recorded an upsurge to 32.1% in 2015 compared to 19.1% Exchange Rate: 1$ = Ugx3,325 previously. Final Dividend: The company’s Board of Directors did not recommend payment of a final dividend. * Methodology: We used two models for our valuation. The Capital Asset Pricing Model uses a market risk of (-16.67%), a risk factor of 15.94% and expected return of 16.82%, we get a 1-year target price of Ugx17.52 ($0.005). For the Enterprise Value Methodology, we use the company’s liabilities for the 12 months to December 2015, shares outstanding, the counter’s current market capitalization (current price multiplied by UCL’s total issued and fully paid shares) and the Enterprise Value to Sales ratio for similar companies around the world. This methodology yields a target price of Ugx8.46 ($0.003). Taking an average of the target prices from the two models gives a 1-year target price of Ugx13 ($0.004) which has a downside of 13.33% from UCL’s current price of Ugx15 ($0.005). Recommendation Guide: BUY – Strong Fundamentals; BUY/HOLD - Fundamentals are good, in line with sector performance and guidance; HOLD - Future Outlook remains positive; SELL/HOLD - Substantial Risk to fundamentals, negative outlook and guidance; SELL - Strong Risk on fundamentals DISCLAIMER: The information contained herein is obtained from sources, which to the best of our knowledge are reliable.

    Language: English Original: English PROJECT: KAMPALA CITY ROADS REHABILITATION PROJECT COUNTRY: UGANDA ESIA SUMMARY FOR THE PROPOSED SELECTED ROAD LINKS AND JUNCTIONS/INTERSECTIONS TO IMPROVE MOBILITY IN KAMPALA CITY Date: May 2019 Team Leader: G. MAKAJUMA, Transport Engineer, RDGE.3 Preparation Team E&S Team Member: E.B. KAHUBIRE, Social Development Officer, RDGE4 /SNSC 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Traffic congestion in Kampala city is fast growing due to a combination of poor roads network, uncontrolled junctions, and insufficient roads capacity which is out of phase with the increasing traffic (vehicular and pedestrian) on Kampala roads. This congestion results into higher vehicle operating costs, long travel times and poor transport services. The overall city aesthetics and quality of life is highly compromised by the dilapidated paved roads and sidewalks, unpaved shoulders and unpaved roads which are sources of mud and dust that hovers over large sections of the City. 1.2. The Government of Uganda through Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) with support from the African Development Bank intends to improve mobility in Kampala City through improvement of selected road links and Junctions/intersections. The selected junctions/intersections are to be signalized while the selected roads are to be dualled or reconstructed or upgraded to paved standard. 1.3. The National Environmental Act, CAP 153 requires that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is undertaken for all projects that are listed under the third schedule of the Act with a view of sustainable development. The proposed project is one of the projects listed under Section 3 (Transportation) of the Schedule. Therefore, to fulfill legal requirements an EIA has been conducted for the proposed project as part of the consultancy services for the preliminary and detailed engineering design of selected road links and junctions/intersections to improve mobility in Kampala City under the Second Kampala Institutional and Infrastructure Development Project.
