CEE has generated a majority of premi ums since 2008. The company is well established on Price 11.09.18 EUR 23.2 the Czech and Slovak markets, which together with Poland and Romania constitute the core CZK 594 CEE markets. The company’s mid-term strategy counts on an increase of market share in 12m target EUR 27.0 CEE countries through acquisit ions as well as organic growth, mainly with a focus on Croatia, CZK 668 Hungary, Poland and Serbia. VIG distributes its products through various channels, including Upside to TP 16.4% close cooperation with Erste Group. The ongoing mergers of local insurers should lead to Dividend EUR 1.0 CZK 25 synergy effects in the area of cost savings in back-office services. VIG is a well-capitalised Total return 20.7% insurance company with a solvency ratio of around 222% and an equity-to-assets ratio (11.7%) well above the peer group median (8.6%), which enables it to gradually raise Sector stance dividend payments. We believe the stock combines growth potential and stable profitability. Overweight 2018 results and mid-term guidance: Favourable development led VIG management to Investment type bring forward its guidance for profit before taxes (PBT) a year earlier. The insurer should thus EMG markets exposure V meet its PBT target within a range of EUR450-470m this year. We also believe the set objectives for 2020 are reasonable and achievable. 1 year performance Dividend policy: VIG offers a stable dividend policy, paying out at least 30% of net 30 attributable profit an d saying a dividend per share will track the profit development. We 28 26 expect the management to propose a dividend in the amount of EUR1.0 per share distributed 24 from this year’s net attributable profit, meaning a dividend payout ratio slightly above 40%. 22 Such an amount corresponds to a decent 4.3% yield. 20 08/17 11/17 02/18 05/18 08/18 Valuation: The fair value estimate is based on an average of a discounted dividend model Source: Bloomberg and excess return method. The target value was set by adjusting fair value for sector, Trading volume (in ths of shares) company and speculative appeal. I n total, we set a new target price at EUR27.0 per share 500 based on a fair value of EUR25.8 and adjusted for positive sector appeal. The target price is 400 16.4% above the current market price, meaning a total potential return of almost 21%. The 300 200 stock is slightly undervalued (traded at P/E 2018 of 10.3, P/E 2019 of 10.0, P/BV of 0.7 vs. 100 11.1 , 10.6, or 1.2, respectively) in comparison with the peer group. In our opinion, this 0 08/17 11/17 02/18 05/18 08/18 valuation is currently justified by lower profitability and a dividend yield.
