CONSUMER
GOODS
The Consumer & Allied sector is made up of number companies that operate in a number of different markets, but which are linked by the products they produce. While the consumer goods companies typically produce fast moving consumer goods, the allied companies provide the packaging material used by these companies. With the Pakistani economy growing strongly, we expect to see strong growths continuing in this sector, especially given that the companies are aware of the increased capacity requirements. The Pakistani consumer and allied sector has been growing both in terms of size and in profitability since the country became independent 57 years ago. There are a number of different sectors that make up the consumer and allied sector that is the subject of this report. Consumer Goods companies produce and market goods ranging from soaps and detergents to beverages and cigarettes. While these companies are strictly speaking Pakistani, most of them are majority owned by their foreign partners as is evident from the table below.

Tobacco
Pakistan, with its young population represents breeding ground for smokers. Pakistan Tobacco is one of the two main players in this sector.
ALLIED SECTOR

These companies are typically locally owned. The companies being covered primarily produce packing materials for use in the consumer goods industry.
board.
Tri-pack is the countrys largest producer of BOPP film, but Macpacs recent capacity expansion threatens to reduce Tri-packs domination.
Ability to Deliver
With increased demand coming through, whether the consumer and allied companies earn additional revenues and profits will depend on their ability to meet this enhanced level of demand.
PAST TRENDS
Page 9
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF NESTLE MILK PAK Historically, the consumer and allied industry has played a large role in the development of local expertise and production capacity.
Capacity Expansion
Over the past few years, we have seen manufacturing output grow rapidly aided by capacity expansions made by the consumer and allied sector.
Transfer of Knowledge
With the introduction of new products and production techniques, we have seen a transfer of expertise taking place to Pakistan from overseas.
Product Consolidation
With increased competition in the market, we are also seeing the consumer and allied companies, in addition to introducing new products, also divest other product lines as in the case of Unilever and Dalda, in order to boost profits.
INDUSTRY THREATS
The consumer and allied industry face significant threats from a number of areas, including (I) Illegal Trade Practices (II) Government Taxes and Regulations (III) A Depreciating Rupee. As a result of these threats, the consumer and allied companies find that they have to compete with products that are cheaper than their own and which as a result are able to capture market share from them. Furthermore, these cheaper goods place an effective price cap on the products produced by the registered companies. In fact, it is estimated that these non-registered companies have a market share of 20-50%. The net result is that the registered companies sales and margins suffer. While the government and the CBR have begun to actively deal with these problems, they remain significant
Page 10
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF NESTLE MILK PAK threats to the companies revenues and profits in the medium term .The consumer goods and allied industry face significant threats from a number of factors, with illegal competitor practices remaining the most significant. Government regulations and taxes and the value of the rupee also play an important role in determining the sectors growth and profitability.
Page 11
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF NESTLE MILK PAK The government plays an important role in determining the level of sales and margins for the consumer and allied companies through tax and duty rates and other regulations. A large portion of the raw materials used by the consumer and allied sector is imported and is thus affected by the prevailing duty rates .Furthermore, the total cost of the product to the end user includes indirect taxes levied by the government in the form of Central Excise Duty (CED) and General Sales Tax (GST). Given that the demand for the products produced by these companies tends to be price sensitive, the effect of the change in the level of taxes has an immediate and direct impact. It may be noted here that the government abolished the CED on fruit juices and halved the customs duties on tea imports in Budget 05. Government regulations also carry significant consequences for the industry as is evident from the implementation of General Zias constitutional package on the tobacco industry. Furthermore, the advent of the Afghan Transit Route and the South Asian Free Trade Agreement will play a significant role in terms of increasing competition and providing new markets for the consumer and allied products.
The Future
The consumer and allied industry faces significant threats from the unregulated sector, which controls 20-50% of their market. Given that these competing products tend to be cheaper, an effective price ceiling comes into play, which prevents the regulated companies from being able to pass on cost increases to end consumers. The result is that the consumer and allied companies have seen their margins being stressed. However, these factors have existed for a while and thus are already built into the share prices of the companies being reviewed. In our opinion, the governments concentration on promoting economic growth whilst implementing measures to improve the operating environment in Pakistan is likely to positively affect these companies in the medium to long term.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW OF DIFFERENT MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES IN PAKISTAN Colgate Colgate-Palmolive Pakistan Limited
Colgate-Palmolive Pakistan Limited is a consumer goods company, whose strong brand portfolio has allowed it to grow rapidly over the last few years. With Pakistans strong economic situation and the companys soon to be completed capacity expansion, we expect revenues to grow by a 5 year CAGR of 23%. However, net margins are expected to decline by 150bps over the next 5 years as a result of (I) the depreciating rupee, (II) increasing international raw material costs, (III) a likely increase in operating expenses on the back of aggressive marketing activities in the near future, and (IV) a price ceiling due to the high levels of competition in the sector. These factors are expected to result in the company reporting a 17% 5-year CAGR in profits. With the stock trading at a PER of 9x and at a 22% discount to our DCF based fair value of PkR302.4/ share, we issue a BUY on the stock.

Packages Limited
Packages are expected to gain directly from Pakistans accelerating GDP growth through the growth in exports and indirectly through the growth in demand for its products from the consumer goods companies. While the company is seeing accelerating growth in demand for its paper products, it also recently began expanding its flexible packing business. While the company is expected to continue earning a substantial portion of its profits in the form of dividends from its other holdings, it is likely to see some margin pressure in the future on the back of the depreciating rupee. We expect the company to report a CAGR of 15% in profits on the back of 19% growth in revenues over the next 5 years. With the stock trading at a 17% discount to our DCF based fair value of PkR239.8/share, we issue a BUY on the stock.

In 2005 the company achived double digit growth for the eight consecutive years however this time growth surged to an impressive +33% as sales reached 17.1 billion. The strong sales performance was buoyed by real internal growth of +27% and was well balanced across all product categories. This was complemented by the successful launches of outstanding new products like NIDO 1+, NESTLE RED GRAPES NECTORES, KIT KAT CHUNKY NESTLE NESVITA MILK 500ml, NESTLE CORN FLAKES and NESTLE KOKO KRUNCH. These new product were aggressively supported to ensure consumer convince and choices. Other key enables of growth were the continued aggressive investment behind distribution infrastructure expansion, dynamics sales & marketing initiatives and category development inside. In addition better consumer communication based on consumer understanding and distribution expansion helped to continue to improve product penetration and consumer acceptance. Exports exceed to RKR 1 billion marks as sales to Afghanistan alone increased alone increased by +44% to PKR 995 million signaling a progressive climate for the business in their recovering economy. The companys milk collection activities also accelerated to support our growth. Fresh milk volume increased by 20% while quality was improved. This achievement was supported by the successful incentive scheme implemented during the period, and the company agri-services activities that assist diary farmers in improving milk production. However fresh milk prices were higher during the year under reviewed compared to last year. Growth translated into improved profits as operating profit increased by + 37%to PKR 2,114 million and improved by 30 basis point. Net profit increased by +17% but showed a decline in margin compared to previous mainly due to three elements:
a) Higher financing cost as government monetary policy pushed interest rates in 2005. b) The company made its first annual donation (Rs. 50 million) of its five year commitment to the Lums School of sciences & technology. c) Provisions were made for the impairment of several production assets that have become uneconomical or obsolete.
