Analyser Greek Equities Company news & views Equity Research May 20, 2011 3Q11 Results Review Companies Mentioned Jumbo 3Q11 results were a positive surprise, as reported figures came in above our estimates. Specifically, revenue of €82.5million -19.5% y-o-y was recorded (AFe Jumbo €79.1million), EBITDA was reported at €17.7million -23% y-o-y (AFe €15.6million) and Net Income of €10.3million -31% y-o-y (AFe €9.0million). The recorded double digit declines are attributable to the later Easter season this year – impacting 4th quarter 2011E performance vs. 3rd quarter last year – and therefore direct comparison is not meaningful. Management announced the sales rate for the first 10 months of the year at -0.29% y-o-y vs. 5.5% top line decline in 9M11 figures; underlining that weak revenue is mainly due to the seasonal effect from Easter and will be reversed in the final quarter. The stronger sales figures vs. our estimate points to a less severe decline in like-for-like rates we believe. We have incorporated a high single digit decline (-8/9%) and the actual figure is most probably in the mid to high single digit range (-6/7%) on our calculations. A further positive was the solid gross margin, which grew c. 3 percentage points y-o-y (61.3% vs. 58.4%) despite the absorption of VAT hikes. This phenomenon is in part explained by the late Easter season, which is associated with branded product sales (which in turn have lower gross margins vs. non branded). The exclusion of significant branded products from 3Q11 revenue boosts its gross margin vs. 3Q10 which included a large percentage of such products. The above explain the difference in EBITDA vs. our estimates, with the margin declining c. Analysts 100bps y-o-y (21.4% vs. 22.4%). Domestic operations account for c. 72% of EBITDA, with Cyprus & Bulgaria accounting for 23% & 5% respectively.

    Hellenic Equities: a New Start-July 2015

    Hellenic Equities: A New Start-July 2015 In view of the imminent Hellenic stock market re-opening sometime in the short term future we attempt to re-value our preferred picks and affirm our investment thesis. It is more than obvious that in such extraordinary circumstances with low visibility and high volatility in the market and financial /fiscal operations, any assumptions regarding valuations fall under certain culprits. At the core of our problem lies the Risk free rate crucial for our model. We have utilized both the normalized scenario of 6.50% R.f. rate and the 10.50% stressed R.f. rate to better evaluate our picks. We are obliged to pinpoint that at 11.00% current 10yr Hellenic Government Bond yield both our scenarios fall short. Our fundamental research indicates as top picks in our Hellenic Equities Universe the following listed stocks: Coca Cola Hellenic (CCH), OTE Hellenic Telecommunications Organization (HTO), Aegean Airlines (ARAIG), Mytilineos Holdings (MYTIL), Metka S.A (METK), Hellenic Organization of Football Prognostics (OPAP), Titan Cement (TITK) and Hellenic Exchanges Group (EXAE). Additionally we have a positive view on Motor Oil, Thrace Plastics, Kri Kri S.A, Thessaloniki Sewage Company and Terna Energy S.A from smaller capitalizations. Coca Cola Hellenic Bottling operates largely in a broad geographical area covering the Balkan markets, Russia, certain parts of Europe and Greece. The Company is headquartered in Switzerland, a relocation offering an improved risk- return profile due to the significantly lower risk premium. We expect Coca Cola Hellenic to preserve its strong Cash Flow ability and regard it a safe and value play on Greek Equities.

    Chapter 15 Greece: Case Studies of a Mechanism for Company ‘Exit’ from a Crisis-Ridden Country

    Chapter 15 Greece: case studies of a mechanism for company ‘exit’ from a crisis-ridden country Christos A. Ioannou 1. Introduction Since the onset of the financial crisis, there have been a number of prominent cases of companies ‘exiting’ Greece through an effective transfer of their registered headquarters to another country. These have been complex, multi-stage processes, particularly in the cases in which the companies were listed on the Athens stock exchange, thus engaging securities law as well as company law. This chapter analyses three of these cases, the relocation of the metals group Viohalco to Belgium, the dairy company FAGE to Luxembourg and the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company to Switzerland. The Cross-border Mergers Directive played a direct role in the first two cases, both of which involved forming a subsidiary in another Member State and then merging the parent company into that subsidiary. The third case used a similar mechanism, however, as the transfer was to a country outside of the EU (Switzerland), the Directive was not used specifically. Significantly, in all three cases the mergers were one component of ‘in- house’ restructurings rather than the joining together of truly independent companies. These three cases had very different impacts on labour and labour relations. The first case analysed – the merger of the metals group Viohalco SA Group into a Belgian listed holding in 2013 – was received positively by the trade union and the workers’ side. There were no direct negative implications for employment relations in the group of companies involved and affected by the Cross-border Mergers Directive.
