    Latin American Equity Research Strategy Report

    New York, January 11, 2010 Latin AmericaStrategy

    LATAM FIELD GUIDE 1Q10The Recovered DecadeCristin MorenoHead of Latin American Equity Research+1 212 [email protected]

    When the term The Lost Decadeis mentioned in our profession, the first thing that comes to mind is Latin America. This

    is due to LatAms poor economic performance in the 1980s and part of the 1990s. Well, with the first decade of the

    millennium just completed, we could easily make the case for the term The Recovered Decade.The equity markets in Latin

    America, which partly reflect current and future economic prospects, posted not only a strong performance, but collectively they

    also posted the strongest performance among all the regions in the world. Unfortunately, past performance is not indicative offuture performance, so we need to formulate our expectations for the upcoming years. Fortunately, the improvement in

    fundamentals in the region provide a solid base upon which we can forecast a positive decade to come. The focus of this report

    is the outlook and recommended strategy for 2010, the first year of the new decade.

    Latin American equities increased 268.7% in the first decade of the millennium. This performance is not only strongin absolute terms (implied CAGR of 13.9%), it also positioned LatAm as the worlds best-performing market of the

    decade. LatAm outperformed both Emerging Asia and EMEA within the Emerging Markets category, and wassignificantly higher than the 17.2% decrease posted by developed markets.

    What was behind the growth?We believe there were three key elements. First, LatAm country risk decreased from amaximum EMBI spread of 13.5% in September 2002 to the current 3.5%. Currently, more than 80% of LatAms GDP is

    generated in investment-grade countries, compared to less than 5% 10 years ago. Second, the prices of the key

    commodities for LatAm equity marketsoil, iron ore and copperincreased by 205%, 268% and 290%, respectivelyfrom 2000 to 2009. Finally, GDP for the region posted average annual growth of 3.0% during the decade, outperforming

    world GDP growth.

    Looking toward 2020. As we enter a new decade, we remain bullish about Latin American equities, although we expecmore moderate annual returns. Looking at the three drivers of the previous decade, we believe that GDP growth and

    internal dynamics will increase their contribution to the market performance in the upcoming decade, as we expect GDP

    growth to accelerate. We further believe that commodity prices will continue to be supportive, with LatAm commodity

    producers gaining in terms of world market share. However, we believe that returns will be more moderate compared with

    the previous decade, as commodity price increases will likely be smaller and most of the positive one-time impact of

    decreases in country risk has already materialized.

    Looking at 2010, we expect a good start. We believethe global economic recovery, led by China, will be beneficial forkey commodities in the region, particularly for mining, both in terms of volumes and prices. Meanwhile, in the LatAmcountries we cover, we expect average GDP growth of 3.0% compared with last years 2.6% decrease. In this context, we

    expect earnings growth to increase by 30%, which is a benign scenario for equities. However, with valuations returning to

    more normal levels, we believe that bottom-up analysis and sector-specific dynamics will play a key role in the

    investment strategy this year. The potential market upside based on the target prices of the companies we cover is 16.2%.

    OUTLOOK FOR 2010

    We expect 30% earnings growth, driven by strong commodity prices and the global

    economic recovery. From a top-down perspective, there are two key forces driving earnings

    growth in 2010. On one side, the prices and volumes of the key commodities of the region areexpected to post a significant increase in 2010 versus 2009, which we expect to drive commodity-

    related stocks to post a 35.1% and 41.2% increase in earnings and EBITDA, respectively. On the

    other, we expect the recovery in domestic GDP in LatAm to be very strong, from -2.6% to 3.0%,

    helping non-commodity sectors to post 26.2% earnings growth. In addition to the two main

    forces, the earnings expansion in some sectors will likely be boosted by M&A activity.

    Is this growth already priced in?As noted in Figure 4, LatAm markets are trading at higher-

    than-historical multiples on a P/CE basis (9.3x vs. the historical 7.5x). However, after adjusting

    for the current risk profile of the region by comparing the cash earnings yield to the bond yield,

    valuations are close to their historical average. As such, valuations reinforce our view that gains

    coming from the expansion of valuation multiples will likely be limited and that the main driver

    of LatAm markets will be earnings growth.

    The main risk to our positive view of LatAm markets is on the flows side. The positive

    performance of LatAm last year was supported by strong flows from foreign investors. Flowsfrom foreign investors were enough to absorb large amounts of equity offerings and to allow

    foreign investors to be the main net purchasers of LatAm stocks. While we believe that foreign

    flows will continue to be strong, a change in the direction of foreign flows due to global dynamics

    or an unbalanced relationship between equity offerings and flows could affect these markets in

    2010.

    STRATEGY FOR 2010

    We believe that the best strategy for 2010 is to ride the earnings growth theme, but only at

    reasonable valuations.In order to put the sectors into perspective, Figure 6 shows the earnings

    growth we expect for 2010 and the P/E at which each of the sectors would be trading after thatgrowth. The sectors that we favor are the ones in the High Growth, Low Valuation section of the

    chart. These are Mining, Financial Services, Cement & Construction, Industrials and Food.

    Table 1: Sector Recommendation Highlights

    Sector Recommendation Investment Thesis

    Mining Overweight This is our favorite sector among commodities. We are recommending exposure to copper and iron o

    driven by the growing demand from China and a limited supply, which we expect should continu

    supporting an upward trend in prices. We expect copper prices to average US$3.25 per pound in 2010, o

    some 38.0% above the 2009 average. We also highlight the significant capacity expansion that will com

    on stream in the copper companies. Meanwhile, we expect iron ore (contractual) prices to increase b

    25% starting April 2010.

    LatAm Top Picks: Vale, Grupo Mexico, Antofagasta.

    Financial Services Overweight Of the most representative sectors in LatAm among non-commodities, the financial sector is our favorit

    The sector should benefit from a recovery in loan growth, declining NPLs and cost savings resulting fro

    M&A activity, specifically in Brazil. We expect loan growth to reach 22.9%, 18.8%, 18.6%, 10.7%, 10.2%

    and 8.0% in Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Mexico and Colombia, respectively.

    LatAm Top Picks: Banco do Brasil, Ita Unibanco, Banorte, BCI.

    Conglomerates

    & Industrials

    Overweight The industrial sector should post strong growth in 2010 driven by economic recovery in the U.S. an

    further operating improvements resulting from the acquisitions of past years in the case of the Mexica

    industrial companies, and the recovery in industrial activity, which should boost the capacity utilization Brazil. Meanwhile, valuations are compelling with a 2010E P/E of 14.7x.

    LatAm Top Picks: Mexichem, Iochpe-Maxion.

    Cement &

    Construction

    Overweight We have an overweight recommendation in this sector mainly due to our positive view of the housin

    sector in Brazil. On one side, the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program will support the growth of the low

    income segment; on the other, the economic recovery in Brazil should help the middle- and high-incom

    segment. We have a neutral view on the shopping centers. While the growth prospects continue to b

    attractive, we believe valuations already incorporate the growth prospects. We are less bullish on th

    housing sector in Mexico due to the more conservative plans of Infonavit for the 2010-2014 period, th

    funding problem experienced by Fovisste, and the implementation of the new accounting rules in th

    sector.

    LatAm Top Picks: MRV Engenharia, Irsa.Food Overweight Among the sectors with highest growth due to consolidation, our favorite is Food. Mergers and acquisitio

    (mostly done at reasonable transaction multiples) are driving growth and providing a platform for marg

    expansion though synergies and higher value-added products. Our favorite name in this group is Marfri

    We also believe that there are some attractive financial deleveraging stories in the Food sector; this wou

    include Gruma and Minerva.

    LatAm Top Picks: Marfrig, Minerva, Gruma.

    Agribusiness Neutral We are bullish on sugar prices in 2010 on the back of a globally supportive supply picture (especially

    India and Brazil). We are also positive on the ongoing recovery in ethanol prices that we believe still ha

    some upside to go driven by the continuously strong demand of ethanol in Brazil and still-strong sug

    prices that limit the growth in the supply of ethanol. However, from a LatAm strategy point, we have

    neutral recommendation due to the lack of bottom-line visibility in the sector.

    Oil, Gas &

    Chemicals

    Neutral While we are optimistic about PBRs prospects in terms of new discoveries, its strong reserve position an

    expected high-growth potential, the upcoming equity offering and potential approval of the new oil law

    Congress are adding uncertainty, which supports our neutral outlook from the LatAm strategy viewpoin

    This neutral view is also supported by Ecopetrol, which, although interesting from a fundamental view,

    currently trading at rich valuations. For exposure to this sector, we would recommend the oil service

    segment, more specifically Tenaris.

    Table 1: Sector Recommendation Highlights (contd)

    Sector Recommendation Investment Thesis

    Pulp and Forest

    Products

    Neutral We remain positive regarding pulp prices, as demand is recovering (especially in the tissue segment) and

    capacity increases for the coming three years are limited given the financial constraints that many players in

    the sector face. In addition, we believe there is room for upside surprises in pulp prices, as capacity in thNorthern Hemisphere may shrink at a faster-than-anticipated pace if government subsidies start fading, a

    many governments, like the U.S. for example, are facing significant deficits.

    We are projecting average pulp prices to increase by 30% in 2010 and 9% in 2011 (we estimate average

    eucalyptus pulp prices of US$735 per ton in 2010 and US$809 per ton for 2011) which, in our opinion

    should offset the risk of foreign exchange appreciation in countries such as Brazil. However, from a LatAm

    strategy point of view, we recommend a neutral weighting due to the sectors high valuations relative to

    other commodities.

    Retail Neutral While from a top-down perspective, the retail sector would be attractive in the context of an economi

    recovery, we believe that current valuations already capture that as the sector has the richest valuations in

    LatAm with a 2010E P/E of 24.2x. As such, we have a neutral view on the sector. Within the sector, the

    recommended strategy is consistent with the differences in private consumption growth we see among the

    countries, with Brazil leading the pack, with 6.0% growth, and Mexico and Colombia lagging with 2.0% and

    1.3%, respectively. In terms of format, we prefer exposure to the more cyclical durables segment.

    LatAm Top Pick: Lojas Renner.

    Aerospace &

    Transportation

    Neutral We have a positive view on the airline segment of this sector. We expect domestic RPKs to grow 12% in

    Brazil and traffic in Copa and Lan to increase by 12% and 10%, respectively. Meanwhile, yields should

    recover in the Brazilian airlines and in Copa after suffering from a price war in the case of the former and

    the impact of the swine flu in the case of the latter. Lan should also benefit from a strong 19% expected

    growth in RTKs in the cargo business. Our favorite stocks in this segment are Copa and Tam. For the

    airports, while current valuations lead us to have a neutral view, we believe that Asur could outperform due

    to the expected 9.8% traffic growth, which could have upside if the recovery in the U.S. proves to be better

    than expected. For Embraer, we still believe that the scenario for global airlines continues to limi

    expectations for significant capacity increases that could benefit Embraer.

    LatAm Top Pick: Tam.

    Health Care Neutral The sector is posting one of the strongest growth rates in LatAm. In 2010, the material acquisitions oMedial by Amil and the merger of Odontoprev with Bradesco Dental should contribute to lowering

    competitive pressures and supporting margin growth. However, incorporating these acquisitions, we reac

    a 2010E P/E of the sector of 20.2x, which is high compared to LatAm. However, we believe the highe

    valuations are justified given our expectations of further increases in the penetration of Health and Denta

    Care plans from the current 22% and 6.5%, respectively. In Mexico, we l ike Genomma Lab.

    LatAm Top Pick: Genomma Lab.

    Steel Underweight Steel prices have limited upside potential, in our view, given the significant spare capacity that exist

    worldwide. In addition, the threat of cheap imports coming from Asia is starting to become an issue in the

    Americas, thereby limiting price increases and potential capacity expansions. We are expecting averag

    steel prices to increase by 14% in U.S. dollars in 2010, largely reflecting increases in raw material costs

    Value can only be found in small caps such as ICH and Siderar, in our opinion.

    LatAm Top Picks: Siderar, ICH.

    Beverage Underweight We have an Underweight recommendation on this sector mainly due to its relatively low growth in th

    context of a recovery due to its non-cyclical and defensive characteristics. Also, valuations do not appea

    compelling. However, a few exceptions include CCU and Arca. In the case of CCU, the company shoul

    benefit from grain cost relief in core beer operations in Chile. Meanwhile, Arca is exposed to northern

    Mexico, where we expect the economic growth to outpace the national average. Moreover, its Coca Cola

    territories in Argentina (17% of sales) are poised to benefit from the second year of restructuring since thei

    acquisition. Finally, the Argentine assets of both CCU and Arca could benefit if our expectation of reduction

    in country risk materializes.

    Table 1: Sector Recommendation Highlights (contd)

    Sector Recommendation Investment Thesis

    Utilities Underweight While we see significant value in this sector at a 2010E P/E of 11.3x, we believe that the slow growth o

    the sector, relative to LatAm, will imply an underperformance of this sector in 2010. However, we also

    believe that there are interesting dynamics going on that are important reasons for building exposure to

    this sector. In Brazil, the main themes to follow are the recovery in industrial volumes, the impact that the

    political elections will have, particularly on the state-owned companies and M&A activity. In Chile, th

    improved top-down story for the country could benefit the heavyweight utilities sector. Finally, in Argentina

    valuations are very depressed and could improve as country risk improves.

    LatAm Top Picks: Endesa, Pampa.

    Telecom Underweight We are underweighting the Telecom sector due to its defensive nature, which is inconsistent with a

    recovery-focused investment strategy. In addition, there are certain sector-specific dynamics that reinforce

    our recommendation. In Mexico, two events lead us to be conservative: first, the planned auction this yea

    of a significant amount of spectrum; second, the introduction of a new 3% tax on telecom services. An

    important issue to monitor in Mexico is how potential bidders for spectrum structure their participation. I

    Brazil, the competitive intensity in the mobile segment is likely to continue.

    In terms of countries, we recommend overweighting Brazil and Peru, having neutral

    exposure to Chile and Mexico and underweighting Colombia. We also believe that Argentina

    could be an attractive off-index investment for investors willing to take a higher level of risk than

    the average level of risk in LatAm. As can be seen in Figure 7, Brazil and Peru are the countries

    that should post the strongest growth in terms of earnings, and after that expected growth their

    valuation multiples are low relative to LatAm. Table 2 presents the reasons for our country

    preferences. Compared to the allocation we recommended in our strategy for the last part of 2009,

    the main change is that now we prefer Brazil to Mexico, which is mainly due to the better sector

    composition of Brazil compared to Mexico in the context of our recommended strategy.

    Table 3: Top PicksInvestment Theses (contd)

    Company Investment Thesis

    Marfrig Marfrigs recent acquisition of Seara from Cargill and the new leases on 12 beef plants in Brazil position the

    company to better benefit from two attractive, earnings-enhancing trends: 1) the strong growth potential of

    processed meat products in Brazil; and 2) the expected growth in cattle herds in 2010, which should help drive 15%-

    20% growth in Brazilian beef industry volume exports in 2010.

    Marfrig acquired a national brand with Seara, which should enable the company to increase processed products as

    a percentage of sales from approximately 30% currently to 50% by 2012. Seara should help generate operating

    synergies with Marfrigs existing poultry and pork assets (over a 24-month period) equal to 5% of estimated 2010

    EBITDA. We also estimate significant margin expansion in Europe (OSIs Moy Park asset) in 2010 as Marfrig begins

    its second full year of operation, which will include the sale of beef products and further processed poultry and pork

    products.

    MRV Engenharia In our view, MRV is well positioned to benefit from the positive fundamentals in the Brazilian affordable housing

    market. Nearly 80% of MRVs inventory and land bank are eligible for the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program, and it

    has one of the lowest average selling prices (R$99,000/unit) among listed Brazilian homebuilders.

    Best-in-class in the segment: in addition to its vast experience operating in this segment and its close relationship

    with CEF, MRV is quickly expanding its building capacity with vertically integrated operations. Also, it boasts

    industry-leading operating margins and ROEs (24% and 17%, respectively, expected for 2009E).

    Lojas RennerIn our opinion, Lojas Renner will resume strong earnings growth as the company starts cycling against easier comps

    within a more favorable economic environment. The company launched an aggressive organic expansion plan for

    2009, which targeted 10 units instead of its original plans for 8 units (representing a selling floor expansion of 9%),

    and although there is no official guidance for 2010 expansion plans, we are assuming 13 new stores for a further

    expansion of 11%. Our projection for Brazilian GDP growth makes us optimistic about the companys potential SSS

    performance as well as about the development of its credit business. Throughout 2009, Renners credit division

    witnessed no significant deterioration, with NPLs below 5% of net merchandise sales.

    Endesa The company has one of the most aggressive expansion plans in Chile, along with significant capacity additions

    planned in Per and Colombia, and a capacity increase of almost 2,900 MW in these three countries (including 51%

    of Hydro Aysen) for the next five years.

    Moreover, Endesa increased its participation in its Peruvian subsidiary Edegel by 29.4% to a total of 62.5%. We see

    this acquisition as a good opportunity to get exposure to a growing market such as the Peruvian market, and at anattractive valuation level.

    BCI We believe that the banks higher exposure to SMEs in Chile provides the bank greater exposure to the recovery in

    the Chilean economy.

    During 2009, BCI suffered from its relatively higher exposure to the salmon fisheries industry, which experienced

    phytosanitary issues and damaged profitability in the industry. While borrowers still have yet to restructure their

    loans, we believe that the worst for BCI in terms of NPL provisions is over. This has been reflected in increasing

    quarterly ROEs throughout 2009. We expect a gradual decline in NPLs and provisions over the next two years to

    lead to a recovery in profitability to close to 20% by 2011, and we expect the bank to deliver a three-year net income

    CAGR of 22.2% from 2009E to 2012E.

    Mexichem We maintain our positive view of Mexichem, as we believe that the growth-integration story will continue in the

    medium term. We expect the company to return to attractive EBITDA growth rates in 2010, driven by economic

    recovery in the U.S., integration in the chlorine-vinyl-tranformed products chain and a stronger balance sheet that

    should allow the company to return to its acquisition mode. In our view, in the medium term, the companys strategy

    will allow it to continue delivering its 20-20-20 strategy (20% sales and EBITDA growth with ROE above 20%).

    Going into 2010, we expect the company to be active in its negotiations on the acquisition of downstream assets in

    the fluorine chain. We also expect that the company will attempt to make additional acquisitions in the chlorine/PVC

    divisions. The ramp-up of the aluminium f luoride plant, inaugurated in 3Q09, should also support growth in 2010.
