Valuation: New DCF-based PT of CHF1.5 (previously CHF0.65) We raise our price target to CHF1.5: (1) The NA divestment proceeds are higher than the discounted NA cash flows we had in our model.

Aryzta AG Buy * (Price target CHF1.50) UBS Research THESIS MAP a guide to our thinking and what's where in this report PIVOTAL QUESTIONS Q: Can Aryzta deliver organic sales growth of 2-3% in line with the food sector? Yes. We see organic growth prospects of 2-3% per year medium term, in line with the average of the food sector at 2-3%. Aryzta's pre-baked technology offers customers with logistics cost advantages, resulting in some edge versus artisan bakers. Growth in emerging markets (c15% of Aryzta sales) is attractive mid to high single digit y/y. New management is also well connected in the bakery industry, supporting some market share prospects. Key customers of Aryzta in the quick service restaurant and retail/discount channel also enjoy growth prospects of 2-3% per year. Q: Can Aryzta improve its EBITDA margins to 13-15%? Yes, we forecast EBITDA margins to reach 13-15% (post IFRS 16- pre IFRS 11.5-13.5%), in line with some other bakery companies in Europe. Aryzta has c60% exposure to consumption on the street, including convenience channels with above-average margin prospects. Cost savings of c€20-30m, rising utilisation on easing consumer mobility restrictions and streamlining capacity (current utilisation c70-75%, UBSe) should support profitability. UBS VIEW We see Aryzta as a restructuring case, with attractive cash flow power in the medium to long term. 60% of its revenues are linked to consumption on the street, offering attractive margin prospects. Cost savings and rising utilisation (streamlining some capacity, return of consumer street traffic) should support profitability in the coming years. The announced divestment of the NA business supports de- levering the balance sheet and at the same time gives Aryzta room for growth investments. Management can now predominantly focus on the key value driver Europe. We expect the company to enjoy medium EFCF run rate prospects of €70-100m. Valuation looks attractive to us. Buy. EVIDENCE (1) Aryzta competitors such as Harry Brot enjoy 2-3% organic sales growth prospects per year. Aryzta's organic sales growth track record in Europe between 2014 and 2019 was c2%. (2) Our industry checks, including competitor profitability comparisons, reflect double-digit (10-15%) EBITDA margin prospects for the industry, in line with our 13-15% forecast for Aryzta over FY 23-25E. Hostess Brands even generates EBITDA margins of 20%+. (3) Aryzta announced a cost saving of c25% of central overhead costs in Europe. WHAT'S PRICED IN? Supported by our reverse DCF, we believe the share price reflects medium-term sales growth of 0-1% (UBSe 2-3%) with an EBTIDA margin of c8-10% (UBSe 13-15%).
