Sintal Agriculture
A non-core business
A reduction in costs per ha by 25% yoy in 2011, as guided by the management, should improve EBITDA margin to 21% in 2011 from 5% in 2010
Land bank is mostly (119 of 146 ths ha) located in Kherson region in Southern Ukraine, a relatively dry and hot region. Crop yields in the region are below the Ukrainian average and our asset-base valuation shows the lowest fair value of Sintal’s lease rights among public agricultural names
A 1.5x landbank increase through its Agri&Ca acquisition in autumn 2011 was a value-accretive deal, in our view. The deal was completed at a multiple of USD 210/ha of lease rights, the lowest among its sector peers, and lease terms of 49 years are the longest possible in Ukraine
We fail to see current management working to create value for all minorities, as evident from the company`s selling prices being below the market average and overall business EBITDA margins being relatively low (15% in 2009 and 5% in 2010) and generally poor disclosure
12 TP of EUR 1.5/GDR, upside of 52%. HOLD due to high stock-specific risks.
Company description
