Company Profile
Orascom Telecom Media & Technology
Holding (OTMT.EGX) is a joint stock company

Global System for Mobile Communica ons

opera on of 2G networks, is represented by

Koryolink out of hand: Orascom Telecom Media & Technology Holding
(OTMT.EGX) adopted an accoun ng treatment entailing the de-
consolida on of its North Korea-based Koryolink from its
consolidated financial statements. Koryolink will become an
associate instead of being a subsidiary due to the current
sanc ons on North Korea that are affec ng OTMT's ability to
impose control over Koryolink as well as the conver bility of
cash and repatriation of dividends.
Disappoin ng nego a ons with North Korean party: OTMT and the
Korea Post & Telecommunica ons Corpora on (KPTC) are in
discussions regarding the merger of Koryolink with the other
state-owned mobile operator Byol. Although the nego a ons
are ongoing, OTMT believes that it is difficult to exercise control
on the poten al merged en ty. Although IFRS and EAS
accoun ng standards require the company to exercise a
significant control on its investee to be treated as a 'subsidiary'
and consolidated in its financial statements, OTMT has to
reconsider its 75% ownership stake in Koryolink as 'investment
in associates'. Accordingly, OTMT recognized in Q3 2015 a total
loss of EGP3.1bn from Koryolink as discounted opera ons. We
note that in H1 2015 Koryolink contributed 90% of OTMT's
consolidated revenues and 83% of consolidated EBITDA.
For what it's worth: OTMT valuation
Base Case Scenario
To value OTMT, we used sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) method. In our
base case scenario, we assume removing Koryolink from our
SOTP valua on due to the substan al risk of na onaliza on
(despite having been denied by OTMT) or any governmental
ac on nega vely impac ng OTMT's ownership right in
Koryolink. Thus, OTMT's valua on would include the following
(excluding the real estate investment in Brazil):
1. Cables Segment: OTMT owns 100% of MENA Cable and
51% of Trans World Associate. We used our 2016e
EBITDA for the segment to es mate free cash flow to
the firm (FCFF) using a reinvestment rate of 27%, a cap
rate of 14%, and a terminal growth rate of 5%. This
resulted in an es amted equity value of EGP92mn for
the cables segment.
2. Management Contract of Alfa in Lebanon: In view of the
Lebanese Ministry of Communica ons decision to
dismiss OTMT from the upcoming tender of managing
the mobile network "Alfa", we conserva vely
es mate the contract to be worthless in our
valuation.
3. Stake in Beltone Financial Holding (BTFH.EGX): Based on the successful closing of the tender offer
submi ed jointly by OTMT and ACT Financial, OTMT will now own 84.4% of BTFH. Based on an
average PBV of 1.6x for the financial sector in the MENA region, OTMT's stake in BTFH would be
valued at EGP463.2mn (implying a 19% premium paid in the deal).

Losing control of Koryolink — Time to 'sell/short sell'
2. valued at EGP463.2mn (implying a 19% premium paid in the deal).
4. Adjusted Net Cash/(Debt): We factored the adjusted net cash/ (debt) balance of EGP1.26bn a er
considering the expected cash outflow needed for BTFH deal of EGP549.4mn.
Based on our SOTP valua on in this scenario, we valued OTMT at EGP0.35/share, implying a downside
potential of 39%.
Best Case Scenario
In this scenario, we think the best case for OTMT would be to value its investment in Koryolink at its fair value
calculated by an independent financial advisor (IFA), which is EGP614mn. Using the same above valua on
assump ons for the other segments, we valued OTMT at EGP0.46/share, implying a downside poten al of
19%.
Sell OTMT now pending visibility on its future — Se ng a weighted average PT of EGP0.40/share (a 29% downside
poten al): Applying equal weights to both 'base' and 'best' scenarios, we reached a weighted value of
EGP0.40/share, implying a downside poten al of 29%. Thus, we believe it would be best to either sell OTMT's
local shares with a trading price target (PT) of EGP0.40/share (or short sell its GDRs with a trading PT of
USD0.26/GDR).
