Company CENCOSUD Equity - Chile Recommendation: BUY Target Price: CLP 2,100 Argentina to start driving up results Miguel Moreno - [email protected] Main Drivers ■ Argentina’s private consumption to recover, driving up SSS. After a 2016 of economic reorganization and recession, the market expects Argentina’s GDP and private consumption to be among the fastest-growing, which we expect will drive up SSS, especially in electronics. Private consumption will likely recover from the -2% in 2016e to ~3% in 2017, boosted by lower inflation and recovery in consumer confidence as investment levels pick up. Argentina is Cencosud’s second-greatest contributor to results, accounting for ~25 of revenues and ~30% of EBITDA. ■ Andean countries to have a better 2017 thanks to lower inflation, FX stability, and improved consumer confidence.Chile, Peru and Colombia account for ~70% of Cencosud’s consolidated EBITDA, and since we expect a better macro scenario for all three countries, our bias is positive for SSS and margins. We expect SSS above inflation for all formats, which is the main driver behind our projected ~20bps SG&A dilution; this, in turn, should drive improvements to operating margins in 2017. ■ Discount on multiples. According to our estimates, Cencosud is trading at 9.9x EV/EBITDA for 2017, which is the lowest since 2015 (9.3x), and 2008 before that (8.2x). The average EV/EBITDA for the past five years (since the last M&A in Colombia) is 12.5x. As for P/E, Cencosud is trading at 22.2x for 2017, in line with the historical multiple from the past five years, even though the 2017 figure excludes asset revaluation while the historical multiple includes it. Risks to Our Recommendation ■ Downside risks: i) Lower economic recovery than expected in the region, especially in Argentina; ii) worse than expected SSS; iii) worse-than-expected expense dilution.
