[email protected] 30 April 2009 Ukraine Capital Markets Daily Insight Ukrproduct reports positive FY08 results Ukrproduct (UKR LN), a large branded dairy producer in Ukraine, reported its FY08 revenues at GBP52.3m (8.7% YoY) and its gross profit at GBP10.8m (3.4% YoY). Branded products were the main contributor – 73% and 84%, correspondingly (52% and 60% in FY07), while the skimmed milk product (SMP) revenues halved to 22% of FY08 net revenues on weak global pricing. UKR’s overheads grew ahead of revenues, at 16-28% YoY, thus contributing to a 13.4% YoY lower EBITDA of GBP4.8m and 30% YoY lower net profit of GBP2.3m. Profitability dropped correspondingly: from 11% in FY07 to 9% in FY09 at the EBITDA level, and from 7% to 4% at the net profit level; ROE dropped from 23% in FY07 to 14.5% in FY08. Ukrproduct has retained its long-term focus on the branded processed and hard cheese products, claiming presence in 8 out of 10 major retail chains across Ukraine by the YE08. This has positively reflected in its reported P&L, which is likely to last beyond FY08, in our view. In 1H08, UKR spent GBP1.4m in capex to expand its cheese and milk collection capacities to support the above strategy; future capex will be limited to maintenance. UKR had GBP0.7m in cash at YE08, its Debt/EBITDA was at a comfortable 0.7x. Investment implications: We believe the reported set of results is positive and exceed the FY06 results, when the company’s operations were hit by the Russian ban on dairy imports. Thanks to the manageable debt levels, most of which are in hryvnia, we believe UKR is better positioned to generate profits in FY09 compared to its FX-debt loaded peers. Ukrproduct’s product mix covers both mass market and premium brands, and it enjoys a 25% plus market share in its key product segments, which we believe provides UKR with sufficient price leverage to ensure positive margins going forward. The stock trades at a 2.0x EV/EBITDA and 2.9x P/E on FY08 actual results, or at a 30-57% discount to the EM peers, which we would only justify by an extremely low liquidity in the stock. 2 30 April 2009 Ukraine Capital Markets Daily Insight Table 1.

  • REQUIEM for DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine
    JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at, DVR 0093696 REQUIEM FOR DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine By Artem Kochnev A Doctoral Thesis submitted at Department of Economics to obtain the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctoral Program “PhD Program in Economics” Supervisor and First Examiner Second Examiner em. Univ-Prof. Dr. Michael Landesmann Dr. habil. rer. soc. oec. Robert Stehrer May 2020 Abstract The thesis investigates short- and long-term effects of war on the economy of Ukraine. Specifically, it discusses the impact of separatists’ control and subsequent adverse trade policies on the real economy, responses of stock market investors to battle events, and the effect of conflict intensity on reform progress and institutional change in Ukraine. The thesis finds that the impact of war on the economy is most pronounced on the real economy of the war-torn regions. Whereas separatists’ control caused a decline in economic activity by at least 38%, the thesis does not find evidence supporting that the impact of conflict intensity on asset prices and institutional change in Ukraine was linear in parameters. The thesis explains the lack of the linear relationship between asset price move- ments and conflict intensity by investors’ inattention caused by information overload during the early stages of the conflict. Regarding the possible relationship between con- flict and institutional change, the thesis argues that it was electoral competition, not the conflict dynamics, that had an impact on the decision-making process of the policymak- ers in Ukraine.

In this paper an event study is used to investigate investors` expectations about winners and losers from two possible integration options: the Free Trade Agreement as a part of the Association Agreement with the European Union and the Custom Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The impact of these two sudden shifts in the political course on stock returns is analyzed to determine the companies which benefit from each integration decisions. No statistically significant impact on stock returns could be detected. However, our findings suggest a large positive reaction of companies` stock prices to the dismissal of Yanukovych regime regardless of company`s trade orientation and political affiliation.
