Valuation

Base case We derive a EUR6.5ps TP through our DCF (WACC: 8.3%, TG: 2%), which is based on terminal EBIT margin (2022) = 8.5%, up from 4.7% 2013E.

Best case Assuming a steeper margin recovery with terminal EBIT margin of 10% (from 4.7% 2013E), we would derive a EUR8.4 FV.

Worst case In case of lower margin recovery and assuming a terminal 6.5% EBIT margin (from 4.7% in 2013E), we would derive a EUR4.5FV.

Target price

Risk to our rating Main risks: 1) higher/lower than expected margin recovery, driven by better/worse conditions in the reference markets; 2) higher/lower than expected deleverage, mainly deriving from working capital dynamics.

Slow recovery ahead well priced The very favourable business dynamics seen in 2006/2008, which boosted P&L

with low working capital, were based on drivers that we do not expect to be

repeated any time soon. We believe 2012 marked the bottom for Trevi’s

business, but factor in a slow recovery path with uninspiring FCF and deleverage.

The stock looks well priced: we initiate with Hold, EUR6.5 TP.

Well positioned in a diversified, niche business…

Company profile and geographical diversification With c EUR1.2bn revenues (2013E), the Trevi Group is active in foundation and drilling

services and machinery. Its business model relies on integration between its four divisions:

Trevi (foundation services; 39% of 2013E sales). This division, which represents

the core business, operates in the execution of specialised works in the field of

underground engineering, including tunnel excavation, soil consolidation, dam

repairs and recovery of polluted sites.

Soilmec (foundation machinery; 20% of 2013E sales), which manufactures plants

and rigs that are used for foundation engineering.

Petreven (drilling services, 9% of 2013E sales): as a drilling contractor, this

division operates onshore and offshore drilling rig engineering & management

services. Petreven currently operates 14 HH (hydraulic) rigs in Latam.

Drillmec (drilling machinery, 32% of 2013E sales), which manufactures onshore

and, as a more recent diversification, offshore Oil & Gas (both conventional and

HH/hydraulic) and water rigs.

Trevi boasts a well-diversified geographic exposure: we expect the largest region in 2013

to be LatAm, where the company is active with all its four divisions and to which Petreven

has exclusive exposure. We expect Middle East to represent 21% of 2013E revenues, still

down sharply from 35/40% in 2008/09 when several large and very profitable contracts

were under execution, notably in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar. We expect Italy to account

for just 7% of total revenues, down sharply from 17% (2007), due to the ongoing slump in

new infrastructure building in the country. We expect the US to represent 10% of 2013E

sales.

Four divisions, strongly integrated

Peers and competitive environment In foundation services, Trevi ranks no4 worldwide after the UK-listed Keller (which, unlike

Trevi, has high exposure to the US non-residential market), Soletanche-Bachy (part of the

French Vinci) and the German Bauer, which we consider the closest peer in terms of job

specialisation.

In foundation equipment (Soilmec division), Trevi ranks second with EUR236m revenues in

2012, less than half the level of Bauer (EUR596m), which however also includes Drilling

machines in this division. Taking Soilmec+Drillmec, Trevi’s turnover in 2012 was

EUR583m, quite in line with Bauer. Unlike foundation services, which is quite concentrated

and with medium to high entry barriers (execution track record required; job complexity

typically high), the foundation machinery competitive arena suffers from lower entry

barriers and looks increasingly fragmented. In particular, apart from smaller established

European competitors, price competition from emerging Asian players is on the rise, which

exacerbated margin pressure in the 2008-2012 downturn.

In drilling machinery (Drillmec) and Services (Petreven), Trevi is a very small player by size.

Drillmec’s main competitor is the US major National Oilwell Varco, which is worldwide

leader in onshore/offshore drilling rigs. However, in the last five years Drillmec has

considerably strengthened from a technological point of view, through the development of

the “HH series”, which benefits from the know-how developed by Soilmec in hydraulic

foundation machinery. The HH hydraulics rigs have better performance, smaller

dimensions, greater flexibility and lower logistic/transport costs than conventional rigs.

Overall, >350 Drillmec rigs are operating worldwide. The recent entry into the offshore

segment and growing penetration of key clients (eg Pemex) bode well for Drillmec,

supporting our above-average growth expectations for this division (2013E +12% YOY,

2014 +6%, 2015 +7%), with potential upside in case of major contract awards. We believe

Drillmec could benefit from the high potential for customisation and flexibility embedded

in its solutions, which might help it to grab market share from big established players

focused on a more traditional and standardised approach. Petreven, on the other hand,

operates 14 rigs in Latam: after strong growth from 2005 (4 rigs operated) to 2012 (14

rigs), the development of this division has recently slowed, as attractive margins (EBITDA

margin in the 18-20% range) are coupled to high capital intensity.

Overall, we expect Services to account for 48% of revenues in 2013 but for a much higher

69% of consolidated EBITDA.

…with high cyclicality and capital intensity

Main drivers for backlog and profitability: past and future We highlight the following main drivers for Trevi’s business:

The Construction side of the business (Trevi and Solimec divisions) is mostly

dependent on infrastructure spending worldwide. In fact, Trevi is not exposed to

residential, while non-residential (commercial) forms a very small part.

The Oil&Gas side of the business (Drillmec and Petreven) relies on capex

spending in the industry. The readiness of clients (traditionally conservative) to

switch to less traditional/higher technological content solution is also an

important driver for Drillmec’s future growth.

Overall, barring a decline in 2009 after the boom in 2005/08, Trevi has constantly

increased its backlog and order intake over time, keeping a healthy book-to-bill at >1x.

However, we point out that taking order backlog as a proxy for economic performance and

profitability would have been totally misleading, as it would have prevented the capture of

the key drivers of major profitability swings.

In fact, the sharp profitability decline that drove EBIT margin from >11% in 2007/09 to

4.3% in 2012 was driven by two main issues:

1. The end of very lucrative (and in our view “one-off”) projects in the Middle East.

Trevi has been present in Middle East for a long time through its Swissboring

subsidiary and it benefited from the construction, boom particularly in Dubai,

suffering strongly from the subsequent downturn of 2008. As per Chart 2, the

declining weight of Middle East in the overall turnover was coupled with

increases in Latam and North America: while intake and turnover were well

protected, the adverse mix impact was significant: EBIT margin in services fell

from 15% in 2009 to 5.6% in 2012, entirely due to the Trevi division as Petreven

kept resilient margins over the period (breakdown not officially disclosed).

2. A massive profitability decline in Machinery, with EBIT margin down from the

peak of 13.7% in 2007 to just 2.8% in 2012. Also in this case, the breakdown

between Soilmec and Drillmec is not officially disclosed, but we believe most of it

was driven by Soilmec, which kept relatively resilient revenues over the period

but suffered from huge price competition, also driven by growing competition

from newcomers (Asian players).

Chart 10: Machinery profitability suffered most

Chart 11: Capital employed up, ROCE down sharply

Source: Kepler Cheuvreux Source: Kepler Cheuvreux

Margin deterioration was only a part of the story, as its detrimental impact on ROCE was

greatly exacerbated by strong growth in capital employed, which almost trebled from

EUR0.3bn in 2007 to >EUR0.8bn in 2012. This was largely driven by working capital

deterioration: in fact NWC grew from c EUE0.1bn (2007) to c EUR0.5bn (2005), despite

increasing resort to non-recourse factoring. This trend was driven by a mix of longer

payment terms for clients (higher receivables), higher inventories (notably at Soilmec) and

lower advance payments.

Trevi versus peer Bauer: historical and expected trends very similar We have compared Trevi’s operating trends with those of Bauer, its closest listed

competitor based in Germany. P&L trends (2007 = 100) were very similar: both companies

posted growing revenues over 2007-12 and declining profitability, and we (KECH

estimates for both companies) still expect similar trends for 2013-15 in our base case, with

potential for Trevi to outperform Bauer in the event of significant intake by Drillmec.

Capital employed deterioration was much greater for Trevi: as such, its initial ROCE

Booming profitability of 2007/09 unlikely to be repeated any time soon

2010/12: growing capital employed + declining profitability = strong ROCE deterioration

Trevi vs. Bauer: similar past and expected trends

premium (2007: c 30% Trevi, c 20% Bauer) faded over time. We expect post-tax ROCE to

have bottomed to c 5% for both companies in 2012, with a mild recovery to 7/8% in 2015.

Recovery and some deleveraging ahead, at a slow pace

Good old days (2007-09) not expected to return any time soon We project a 6% CAGR 2012/15 on revenues, 9% on EBITDA and 32% on net profit

(starting from low absolute figures). We expect EBIT margin to have bottomed in FY 2012

at 4.3%, but we project a quite uninspiring 140bps cumulative margin expansion to 5.7% in

FY 2015. This is well below peaks of >11% touched in 2007/09, when: 1) the Trevi division

was benefiting from positive infrastructure spending across all geographic areas and in

particular from hefty and in effect “one-off” profitability in the Middle East (Dubai, Abu

Dhabi and Qatar); 2) Soilmec too was running healthy margins (and low inventory levels), in

a much less harsher competitive environment. At this time, we do not expect such

favourable business conditions to be repeated in the period 2013/15. In the Valuation

section, we have in any case drafted a best case scenario, including a sensitivity analysis in

We flag the downward guidance revision issued by Bauer on 2 August. Bauer, which revised

its EBIT guidance down from EUR85m to EUR70m, blamed “delays in major projects in the

Construction area, reduced margins in the Equipment segment”. While this looks quite

company-specific, particularly as regards special foundations, nevertheless it points to a

continued weak environment for the Trevi and Soilmec division in the next few quarters.

We project NWC/sales stabilisation, slow deleveraging ahead On our estimates, NWC/sales should continue to decline slightly, following the peak

touched in 2010, on the back of gradually improving payment terms from clients and

assuming some improvement in advance payments. Coupled to profitability recovery from

the 2012 bottom, this should enable NFP/EBITDA to improve from 3.7x (2012) to 2.7x

(2015E).

We project NFP/EBITDA down from 3.7x (2012) to 2.7x (2015E)

The capital intensity of Trevi’s business was reflected in organic FCF absorption in past

years, particularly in 2008/09 when high capex was coupled with NWC deterioration.

Going forward, we assume: 1) capex 2013/15 to stabilise around EUR70m, still above D&A;

2) NWC outflow to stop. Under these assumptions, we expect equity FCF in the EUR16-

29m range in 2013/15 (FCF yield: 3.8-6.9%). Assuming DPS to remain flat at EUR0.13ps

over the period, this should be just enough to allow for a minor deleverage.

We believe D&A and financial charges are underestimated by consensus While we are quite aligned with consensus on revenues and EBITDA, we believe most

contributors are failing to capture growing D&A and financial charges going forward.

Hence, we are positioned 16-17% below EBIT consensus and a material 27-42% below on

net profit over the period.

Initiating with Hold, TP EUR6.5

DCF returns EUR6.5 fair value We value Trevi at EUR6.5 per share (downside: -3%) through our DCF (WACC: 8.3%, TG:

2%). We assume EBIT margin to recover from 4.7% (2013) to 8.5% in the terminal year, well

below the 12.4% peak touched in 2007. As the stock is trading in full valuation territory, we

rate it a Hold.

DCF sensitivity to margin recovery/terminal EBIT margin The following table reports our valuation sensitivity to terminal EBIT margin, which is quite

huge also in light of high financial leverage (NFP is 47% of current EV): in fact, each 100bps

of margin swing in the terminal year drives a 17% swing in the equity value. If we assume

terminal EBIT margin up to 12.4% (2007 peak), the stock would be worth EUR11.1ps, 71%

above our base case.

Our DCF points to EUR6.5ps

Trading multiples: peer comparison We have compared Trevi with its two listed peers in special foundations, Bauer (Germany)

and Keller (UK), and with its closest peer in drilling, National Oilwell Varco (US). Trevi is

trading at a sizeable premium to its peers, particularly on P/E.

SOP by division points to EUR5.2 fair value We have also built a SOP valuation by division, centred on 2014E, applying 5.9x

EV/EBITDA as the average of Bauer and Keller to the special foundation business

(Trevi+Soilmec divisions) and 6.5x EV/EBITDA (in line with NOV) to the Drilling business.

Our divisional SOP returns a EUR5.2ps fair value (downside: -18%).

Best case valuation: “what if” extra EUR450m intake H2 2013E-2015E? Finally, we have carried out a sensitivity analysis assuming a best-case scenario for order

intake, with the following assumptions: 1) EUR450m additional order intake in the Special

Foundations division in H2 2013-2015, related to potential big projects under tender in the

US (dam repairs) or at Drillmec, mostly related to more successful penetration with key

clients (eg. Pemex) and in the offshore segment, in which penetration was more recent, and

where potential intake opportunities might be sizeable; 2) these orders bring an average

20% EBITDA margin, well above the divisional average. The impact on 2015 would be quite

sizeable, as sales would be boosted by 12%, EBITDA by 22% and EPS by a huge 67%.

Assuming such a scenario, we would derive a EUR8ps FV based on 5.5x EV/EBITDA 2015E

(upside: 25%), a hefty 52% above our base case SOP.
