Savola expects SAR171mn impact in 4Q16 from EGP floatation
Savola Group announced that its 4Q16 results will be affected negatively by SAR171mn as a result of last week’s EGP floatation – this represents a c18% hit to our 2016e earnings. The calculation was done using EGP/USD of 13 (c45% devaluation), so the impact will be higher if the EGP remains near current levels (c16) by quarter-close. We believe the impact largely reflects expected translation and FX losses (large net liability positions due to high imported working capital requirements). Egypt represented c9% of Savola's 9M16 revenue, but has been loss-making since 2014 (9M16: cSAR168mn; 2015: SAR29mn). Savola has an edible oils business through Afia International (Egypt), two sugar companies (United Sugar Co. of Egypt and Alexandria Sugar) and two pasta companies (Al Maleka and Al Farasha).
