This time for Africa

Aksa Enerji has established a new company in the Republic of

Madagascar to build a 120MW heavy fuel oil power plant, which

we value at TL0.50/share in additional value for our Aksa Enerji

target share price based on our estimates.

Aksa Enerji is the main beneficiary from the local coal incentive

announced on August 9, 2016. TETAS will buy 6,000 GWh of

electricity from local lignite power plants at TL185/MWh in 2016,

while the ytd spot price average is TL131/MWh.

We are revising our recommendation to Outperform from

Market Perform and changing our 12-month target price to

TL3.20 from TL2.70, indicating a 27% upside potential, as we

include the Madagascar investment and new lignite tariff to our

valuation.

Enlarging its footprint in Africa: Aksa Enerji established a new

Power, while its local partner will hold a 41.65% stake. Aksa Enerji

plans to commence generation gradually in 2017. Meanwhile, Aksa

Enerji is continuing its 370MW HFO Ghana investment to begin

producing electricity in Ghana in 4Q16. The Company foresees an

annual EBITDA of over USD100mn per annum when the Ghana

investment reaches full capacity.

Goynuk now benefits from local coal incentives: TETAS will buy

6,000 GWh of electricity from local lignite power plants at TL185/

MWh in 2016. Considering the TL131/MWh ytd average spot price

in the day before market, the proposed prices will increase the

profitability of all private lignite producers. Aksa Enerji is the main

beneficiary from the incentive thanks to its share of lignite power

plants in generation reaching c.20%. We estimate Aksa Enerji to

sell c.300GWh electricity at TL185/MWh and provide an additional

TL6mn in EBITDA in 2016. We forecast the Goynuk power plant to

generate 1.66bn kWh of electricity in 2016, rising to 1.85bn kWh in

2017 and generating a TL167mn EBITDA contribution in 2017.

Kazanci Holding refinanced its loan: Aksa Enerji’s main

shareholder Kazanci Holding and its group company Aksa Dogal

Gaz signed a new USD800mn loan agreement with a consortium

led by Garanti Bank and Isbank and with the participation of seven

banks on August 2, 2016. With this refinancing any potential risks to

the pledged Aksa Enerji shares have been eliminated.

Valuation: We reflected the Madagascar investment and the new

lignite price to our estimates. Our revised DCF driven 12-month

target price of TL3.20/share, up from TL2.70/share, indicates a 27%

upside potential. We are also changing our recommendation for

Aksa Enerji from Market Perform to Outperform.

Risks: Limited electricity demand resulting in lower than expected

spot prices, a significant depreciation in the TL and a delay in the

Ghanaian and Madagascar projects could pose downside risks to

our valuation.

INVESTMENT THEME

Aksa Enerji established a new company in the Republic of

Madagascar to build a 120MW heavy fuel oil power plant with

guaranteed energy sales for 20 years. Aksa Enerji expects to supply

700 GWh of electricity per annum. Based on our own estimates, we

calculate an annual EBITDA of c.USD30mn per annum when the

investment reaches full capacity and a TL0.50/share additional value

for our target share price.

Additionally, the long awaited incentive for local coal power plants has

been announced. Accordingly, TETAS will buy 6,000 GWh of electricity

from local lignite power plants at TL185/MWh in 2016. Aksa Enerji is

the main beneficiary from the incentive thanks to its share of lignite

power plants in generation reaching c.20%. We estimate Aksa Enerji

to sell c.300GWh electricity at this price and provide an additional

TL6mn of EBITDA in 2016. We forecast the Goynuk power plant to

generate 1.66bn kWh of electricity in 2016, rising to 1.85bn kWh in

2017 and generating a TL167mn EBITDA in 2017.

We are revising our estimates for Aksa Enerji, including the

contribution from both the Madagascar project and new local coal

incentive. Accordingly, we are revising our recommendation to

Outperform from Market Perform and changing our 12-month target

price to TL3.20 from TL2.70, indicating a 27% upside potential.

Enlarging its footprint in Africa

Aksa Enerji established a new company in the Republic of Madagascar to

build a 120MW heavy fuel oil power plant and to fulfill 20 years of

guaranteed sales orders. Aksa Enerji expects to supply 700 GWh of

electricity per annum. Aksa Enerji will have a 58.35% stake in the newly

formed Aksaf Power, while its local partner will hold a 41.65% stake. Aksa

Enerji plans to start construction in 4Q16, while the plant is expected to

commence generation gradually in 2017. The Company has not

announced its forecasted CAPEX, guaranteed price and thus EBITDA

estimates. According to our estimates, which are based on the Ghana

deal, we estimate an annual EBITDA of c.USD30mn per annum when the

investment reaches full capacity and a TL0.50/share in additional value for

our target share price.

Recall that Aksa Enerji signed an agreement with Ghana to install and

operate a 370MW heavy fuel oil (HFO) plant with a five-year cost plus

fixed fee in USD terms in August 2015. Aksa Enerji expects to complete

this investment with a CAPEX of USD140mn and to generate an annual

EBITDA of over USD100mn. Aksa Enerji expects to begin producing

electricity in Ghana in 4Q16. We project a limited TL19mn in net sales and

a TL7mn EBITDA to be reflected in the Company’s 2016 financials,

increasing to TL596mn in net sales and a TL211mn EBITDA in 2017.

Following the Madagascar announcement, Aksa Enerji stated that further

negotiations in other African countries is continuing.

Goynuk now benefits from local coal incentives

TETAS (Turkey Electricity Trading and Contracting Co. Inc.) will buy 6,000

GWh of electricity from local lignite power plants at TL185/MWh in 2016,

starting from August 22, 2016. Considering the ytd average spot price in

the day before market at TL131/MWh, the proposed prices will increase

the profitability of all private lignite producers.

As the installed capacity of lignite power plants stands at c.6,200MW, we

expect that companies will only be able to supply nearly half of their

generation volumes in the remainder of the year to the new tariff. We

calculate a TL6mn EBITDA contribution for Aksa Enerji in 2016. Although

sales volumes and prices have not been announced for 2017 and

onwards, we expect the advantageous prices to continue in the coming

years in line with the government’s support to local sources in electricity

generation.

Recall that Aksa Enerji’s 270MW Goynuk lignite power plant was

completed with a CAPEX of USD390mn. The plant’s first phase (135MW)

became operational in July 2015 and started operating at full capacity in

August 2015. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources

commissioned Aksa Enerji’s Goynuk lignite fired power plant's second

phase (135MW) on January 29, 2016 and the plant reached full capacity

in February 2016.

The average cost of production was TL130/MWh in 1Q16 at the Goynuk

power plant, far above the Company’s average cost forecast of TL80/

MWh due to a one-off expense and high OPEX in the testing period of the

second phase. We forecast the average generation cost for Goynuk to

decline to TL95/MWh in 2017. We estimate 1.66bn kWh in generation

volumes from the Goynuk power plant increasing to 1.85bn kWh in

generation and a TL167mn EBITDA contribution in 2017.

Meanwhile, the Turkish government has levied an additional tax of

USD15/ton on coal imports to be used in electricity generation to support

domestic coal generation. Currently, c.15% of electricity generation is

supplied from imported coal power plants. This will result in slightly higher

prices in the spot market as a result of the rising cost of imported coal

power plants, which are below price setter natural gas power plants in the

merit order system.

Revision to estimates

We have revised our forecasts to include the contribution from the

Madagascar project and the new local coal incentive. We adjusted Aksa

Toptan’s trading volume forecasts, decreasing our 2016 top line estimate

by 29%, without any impact at the EBITDA level. Accordingly, our new 12-

month target price of TL3.20 has increased by 19%.

Kazanci Holding refinanced its loan

Aksa Enerji’s main shareholder Kazanci Holding and its group company

Aksa Dogal Gaz signed a new USD800mn loan agreement with a

consortium led by Garanti Bank and Isbank and with the participation of

seven banks on August 2, 2016.

With this new loan, Kazanci Holding has fully prepaid its loan to Goldman

Sachs and the pledged Aksa Enerji shares in Kazanci Holding's

ownership have been released. In addition to these released Aksa Energy

shares, shares representing 9.74% of the capital also owned by Kazanci

Holding, totaling 61.98% of the capital, have been pledged by Kazanci

Holding to the security agent, Isbank. The proceeds received from the

new loan will be used entirely for the operation and financing needs of

Kazanci Holding’s companies and no proceeds will be used for Aksa

Enerji.

Goldman Sachs’ ownership of 16.62% of Aksa Energy and its rights for

the upside valuation and cash collateral of Kazanci Holding to Goldman

Sachs as per the old loan agreement are valid without change until April

19, 2018. If the upside right is not exercised by Goldman Sachs, the

ownership of the 16.62% stake in Aksa Energy, which will be transferred

back to Kazancı Holding as of that date, will be pledged by Kazanci

Holding to Isbank to be used as additional security for the new loan. With

this refinancing any potential risks on the pledged Aksa Enerji shares

have been eliminated.

Renewable portfolio directed to the feed-in tariff

Aksa Enerji has been selling all of its generation from renewable power

plants via the feed-in tariff in 2016. The feed-in tariff is the government’s

initiative to support renewable plants by supplying purchase guarantees in

USD terms to reduce imported natural gas dependency. The company will

benefit by USD73/MWh (TL217/MWh) from its wind power plants

(259MW) and hydroelectric power plants (15MW) vs. the expected TL160/

MWh of Aksa Enerji’s 2016 average sale price guidance. We expect the

Company to generate 670GWh of electricity in its renewable plants,

indicating a 9% share in its 2016 generation volume.

High indebtedness will continue

The Company had a net debt position of TL2.4bn at the end of 1Q16.

Considering the African investments and minor ongoing investment

schedule in the domestic market, we estimate its net debt to rise to

TL3.5bn by the end of 2017. Meanwhile, we expect its net debt/EBITDA

ratio to decline to 5.2x by the end of 2017 from 6.3x at the end of 2015.

Risks

Low electricity demand resulting in lower than expected spot prices,

A significant depreciation in the TL,

A delay in the Ghanaian and Madagascar projects could pose

downside risks to our valuation.

Ghanaian Operations

The key assumptions in our valuation are listed below:

Parameters: We employed a USD-based DCF to value the Ghanaian

investment. We applied an equity risk premium of 9%, a USD risk-free

rate of 5.0% and a corporate tax rate of 25%. We assumed a 0%

terminal growth rate and a beta of 1.0. We assumed the debt to equity

ratio to be 70%.

Sales: We assume an 80% capacity utilization rate for the 370MW

HFO plant, generating 2.6TWh of electricity, c.USD310mn in net sales

and c.USD110mn in EBITDA per annum when the investment reaches

full capacity. Our projection period ends in 2021 as the Company has

a five-year agreement and we project the generation to start in 4Q16.

We do not include any value for the equipment at the end of the

projection period as the generation license for the plant was cancelled

due to low profitability in Turkey. A potential renewal of the agreement

at the end of five years presents an upside risk to our valuation.

Capital expenditures: We project a capex of USD60mn in 2016 and

USD80mn in 2017 and a total of USD140mn for the project.

Stake: We value Aksa Enerji’s stake in the investment at 75%, but

could revise this going forward.

Parameters: We employed a USD-based DCF to value the

Madagascar investment. We applied an equity risk premium of 9%, a

USD risk-free rate of 5.0% and a corporate tax rate of 20%. We

assumed a 0% terminal growth rate and a beta of 1.0. We assumed

the debt to equity ratio to be 70%.

Sales: We assume a 67% capacity utilization rate for the 120MW HFO

plant, generating 700MWh of electricity, c.USD84mn in net sales and

USD29mn in EBITDA per annum when the investment reaches full

capacity. Our projection period ends in 2036 as the Company has a

twenty-year agreement and we project the generation to start in 2Q17.

We do not include any value for the equipment at the end of the

projection period.

Capital expenditures: We project a capex of USD15mn in 2016 and

USD30mn in 2017, a total of USD45mn for the project. We include

USD1.5mn in annual maintenance CAPEX to maintain the equipment

for 20 years.
