Samia Umer June 2018 Is Valued at PKR 77.82 Recommendation HOLD We initiate our coverage on Maple Leaf Cement Factory with a HOLD Current Price 75.79 stance on the scrip, offering an upside potential of 6.05% including 3.37% of dividend yield. MLCF is currently trading at a trailing and forward P/E Target Price 77.82 multiple of 8.43x and 11.73x. The 3-yr average $EV/Ton of the stock is D/Y 3.37% $120/Ton. Upside 6.05% Key Stats Demand is Intact Demand for cement is to remain upbeat on the back of increased activity in government and Market Cap (PKR bn) 45.715 private sector housing scheme, rising urbanization, CPEC related infrastructural projects, Market Cap (USD mn) 394.89 construction of motorways, water reservoirs and various hydel power projects and with election just around the corner, we believe demand for cement to remain sturdy during the 52w Low - High 63.05 – 128.82 remainder of the current fiscal year. Outstanding shares 593.7 mn Free float 45% KATAS RAJ - Blessing in Disguise As per MMDP report, since MLCF lies in the safe zone and relies on own sources of water, it is Adj. Beta 1.29 highly plausible that the company may be given green light by the Supreme court while other Relative Performance Graph companies in the negative zone will have to search for other alternatives or cede expansions. This is likely to bode well for MLCF in setting strong foot hold in the region. 30.00% 20.00% 10.00% Brownfield Expansion – Effort to Retain Market Share 0.00% In order to retain its market share MLCF has also announced a brownfield expansion project -10.00% (line-3) to be setup at its existing site, thereby taking total capacity to 7.3 MT. The project is -20.00% worth PKR 23Bn, financed through 48% debt and 52% of equity out of which 19% was raised -30.00% May-17 Dec-17 Jul-17 Aug-17 Sep-17 Oct-17 Nov-17 Jan-18 Feb-18 Mar-18 Jun-17 through issuing 12.5% right shares. Energy Mix is All Set to Get Efficient Source: PSX, ASDAIndex Research Performance MLCF Performance The Installation of 40MWcoal fired plant will further lower its dependence on national grid Source: PSX, ASDA Research and thus will eventually make MLCF self-reliant on captive power plants. It was established April 18, 2018 through 100% wholly owned subsidiary ‘Maple Leaf Power Limited’. The plant was imported from Chinese firm ‘Sinoma Energy Conservation limited’ and is build in vicinity to MLCF Iskanderabad plant to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Valuation The target price is derived using Discounted cash flow method (FCFF). The target price for Samia Umer June 2018 is valued at PKR 77.82. This offers a total return of 6.05% including 3.37% of Investment Analyst dividend yield. [email protected] Key Investment Risks +92 21 32435322 The risks to our target price is 1) Further devaluation of PKR 2) Hike in Interest rates 3) Lower than anticipated demand 4) Unexpected surge in coal prices 5) Price war as a result Refer to last page for important disclosures. of supply glut and 6) Delay in commencement of operations of new plant. ASDA Research Reports are available on Thomson Reuters 1 Investment Thesis Earlier when other companies were announcing expansions, Maple leaf on the other hand prudently focused on effective and effective utilization of its business. We base our investment case for Maple Leaf Factory Cement (MLCF) on the back of robust demand as a result of increased urbanization and government spending on infrastructural and CPEC related projects, escaping production halt over Katas Raj and other environmental issues, 2.3 MT of expansion project at its existing site and addition of 40MW coal fired power plant to its already cost effective power mix. Demand is Intact With increasing population, urbanization and several infrastructural projects, reasonable growth in construction sector was observed over the last decade. The size of the total construction sector is PKR 320bn (FY17) and on average it contributes 2.5% to the national GDP. During current government of PML-N, the size of the contribution has risen sharply with incumbent’s strong focus towards mega infrastructural projects and hefty government spending in this regard has led the growth rate of construction to outpace growth rate of GDP. Relative GDP to Construction Growth 3.0% 20.0% 2.5% 15.0% 10.0% 2.0% 5.0% 1.5% 0.0% 1.0% Growth -5.0% Construction Cont. 0.5% -10.0% 0.0% -15.0% 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Const. contribution to GDP GDP Growth Const. contribution growth Source: PBS, SBP, ASDA Research Pakistan also enjoys fair share in the world cement industry of 0.77% and is ranked amongst top 20 producer which constitutes 87% of global cement industry. China being the single largest producer covers 57% of world cement industry, followed by India (6%) and USA (1.7%). However in terms of per capita consumption Saudi Arabia is well ahead (1,683kgs) closely followed by China (1,581kgs), South Korea (911kgs) and Iran (770kgs) whereas Pakistan’s consumption is well behind its peers at 140kgs, which implies significant room for growth. Since the year 2000 Pakistan cement industry has also grown at a CAGR of 9%, dispatches which were only 9.62mn MT now stands at 40.32mn MT (FY17). Going forward demand for cement is to remain upbeat on the back of increased activity in infrastructure and housing sector. Government and private sector housing scheme, rising urbanization, CPEC related infrastructural projects, construction of motorways, water reservoirs and various hydel power projects are the key reasons for increased cement consumptions and with election just around the corner, we believe demand for cement to remain sturdy during the remainder of the current fiscal year as only PKR 607bn (60%) is released so far for PSDP as against total allocated budget of PKR 1,001bn (as of March 30, 2018). Any further release of these funds will have direct benefit on the cement sector. ASDA Research Reports are available on Thomson Reuters 2 Maple Leaf Cement Factory (MLCF) is primarily engaged in producing grey cement. Besides this MLCF company also manufactures white cement and enjoys a healthy market share of more than 90%. Since white cement sells at a premium of 10%-20%, thereby contributing its fair share in maintaining highest retention level in the industry. Another key product is sulphate resistant cement, which is used in the construction of dams and barrages especially in the areas where there is high sulphur content in the water. In the back drop of power and water shortage, as per WAPDA a total 21 water dams and hydel power projects are underway. Out of these, three hydro power projects (Kurram Tangi Mohmand dam, and Tarbella - fifth extension are expected to complete in the ongoing year whereas eight other projects are ready for construction including much anticipated mega dams of Diamer- Bhasha and Dasu. Moreover, 12 additional projects are also on the table for which detailed feasibility report is being prepared. Most of these projects are located in North with Kurram Tangi Mohmand and Tarbela dam (fifth extension) in close proximity to MLCF plant in Iskanderabad. Since MLCF is the fourth largest player in the cement industry and given its strong brand image, the company in our view is well-poised to capture demand growth. In the backdrop of above stated scenario, we believe this will further augment volumetric sales and topline of the company going forward. Major Hydro Projects within 800 km to MLCF 1) Diamer-Bhasha Dam 2) Kurram Tangi Dam 3) Dasu kohistan Dam 4) Maple Leaf Cement Factory 5) Golen Gol 6) Bunji hydro power 7) Tarbella 5th Extension Source: Google Maps, WAPDA , ASDA Research On a conservative basis, these projects are expected to complete over 4 to 15 years assuming preliminary work to start off by next year though past record suggests delay is highly probable and same have been incorporated in our estimates. As per our research, on average 58,807mt/km2 of cement in the ratio of 1:2:4 (cement, gravel, mud) is required for hydro projects which is likely to generate total cement demand of around 8.92 mn MT over the prescribed period (0.667mn MT/annum).

    DIRECTORATE OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION ADMIN BRANCH AGENDA NO. 01 MDA (APPOINTMENT AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE) REGULATIONS, 2016 AIM: To enforce the MDA (Appointment and Conditions of Service) Regulations 2016. DETAILS/ EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS: 2. MDA (Appointments and Conditions of Service) Regulations, 1980 has remained enforced and are still under implementation since 1980. Over the period of 36 years, 68 meetings of Governing Body have been held and time to time various amendments have been made in the said Regulations and its schedule. If seen critically, the current schedule of Regulations is full of amendments, tailored promotion channels and abolished posts which were otherwise necessary for smooth functioning of MDA. 3. Across the board, it has been observed that promotion criteria for various posts have been shifted from seniority-cum-fitness basis to mandatory trainings and departmental training examination. Recently the instructions of Government of the Punjab for ensuring merit based promotions basing on mandatory training/promotion exam has been received, which is also being placed for adoption by MDA. The same has also been proposed for almost all the posts whether technical or general cadre so that merit based promotions may be ensured. 4. The regulations include two parts namely appointment and the condition of service for MDA employees and its Schedule. Extensive efforts have been put in for making this schedule practicable. An effort has been made that no post may remain stagnant and mostly post has been given promotion prospects. The same did not exist in the current Schedule. There were many discrepancies as already mentioned above which have also been rectified.

  • The Pakistani Lawyers' Movement and the Popular
    NOTES THE PAKISTANI LAWYERS’ MOVEMENT AND THE POPULAR CURRENCY OF JUDICIAL POWER “I support the lawyers,” said the Pakistani farmer on the train from Lahore, “because if Musharraf can do whatever he wants to this man, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, then none of us is safe.”1 It was the summer of 2008, and for several months Pakistani lawyers had been leading protests seeking the restoration to office of sixty-plus superior court judges,2 including Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, who had been suspended by President Pervez Musharraf.3 The farm- er’s response to questions about his thoughts on the protests was typi- cal of Pakistanis at the time in its clear-headed articulation of the symbolic importance of the lawyers’ struggle and in its implicit under- standing of the central function of an independent judiciary. Indeed, the Chief Justice was the closest to a personal embodiment of “the law” that one could find in Pakistan. If even he served at the pleasure of a dictator — so the story went —the capacity of the law to constrain this dictator and protect ordinary Pakistanis was perilously weak. In March 2007, Chaudhry refused the urging of five generals to re- sign and was removed by Musharraf. Two years later, with Musharraf in exile and a civilian government in power, nationwide protests re- turned Chaudhry to his position atop the nation’s highest court.4 Af- ter twenty-four months of struggle, the lawyers’ movement thus ended with an improbable victory. Moreover, in a nation where the courts historically have followed the dictates of the military and allowed for the repeated subversion of the country’s constitutions,5 the restoration ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1 Interview with Pakistani farmer, on train from Lahore, Pak.

  • A Historic Journey of the Lahore City, to Attain Its Identity Through Architecture
    ISSN 2411-958X (Print) European Journal of May-August 2017 ISSN 2411-4138 (Online) Interdisciplinary Studies Volume 3, Issue 3 A Historic Journey of the Lahore City, to Attain Its Identity through Architecture Najma Kabir Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, University of South Asia, Lahore, Pakistan Ghulam Abbas Prof. Department of Architecture and Planning, University of Engineering & Technology Lahore, Pakistan Khizar Hayat Director Design, Central Design Office (WATER) Water and Power Development Authority, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Lahore is a historical and the second largest city of Pakistan. It has a unique geographical location as it is located on the main trade and invasion routes to South Asia. Its history dates back to 1000BC, when its foundations were laid by the Hindu prince Loh, son of Rama Chandra. After the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni in 1000AD, the city of Lahore has grown, flourished, suffered invasions and destruction, and yet survived through the Sultanate (1206-1524), the Mughal (1524-1712) and Sikh (1764-1849) periods with an uneven, yet unbroken, cultural evolution. This is evident in the form of monuments and artefacts that developed and evolved over time. The research paper discusses how architecture and contemporary arts in Lahore developed with time through the examples of representative buildings as case studies. It also discusses the impacts of cultural, religious and social factors on the art and architecture during different rules and how they are embodied in the city of Lahore to contribute towards its unique identity. The Mughals, who ruled for almost three centuries, were famous as great builders. They laid the infrastructure of Lahore and built finest architectural monuments.
