SKAGEN Focus Statusrapport – september 2015
SKAGEN Focus
Statusrapport – september 2015
Hovedtrekk – september 2015
• Fondet er svært konsentrert med et bredt globalt mandat. Målsetningen er å investere i noen få selskaper
med eksepsjonell risk/reward-profil med fokus på absolutt avkastning.
• Målet er 30-35 poster, hvorav de 10 største skal utgjøre 40-50 prosent av porteføljen. Ved utgangen av
august var det 29 poster i fondet, og de ti største posisjonene utgjorde 52 prosent av porteføljen.
• De internasjonale aksjemarkedene var generelt svake i september. SKAGEN Focus falt med 2,1 prosent i
løpet av måneden. Fondet er ned 11,0 prosent siden start 26. mai 2015.
• AirAsia, Hyundai Motor og GCL-Poly var de beste bidragsyterne til fondets absolutte avkastning i
september. Softbank, South32 og AIG var de dårligste bidragsyterne i løpet av måneden.
• Generell svakhet i bilaksjer etter VW skandalen gjorde det mulig å gå inn i Infineon, et tysk selskap som er
markedsleder innen halvledere for bil/industri. Bakgrunn og rasjonale for denne investeringen finnes lenger
bak i statusrapporten.
• Ved utgangen av september hadde SKAGEN Focus 4,7 prosent i kontanter. Vi fortsetter å gradvis
distribuere kontanter inn i våre posisjoner.
• Fondets brede mandat reflekteres i både den geografiske og sektormessige sammensetningen. Fondet kan
også investere uavhengig av markedsverdien på selskapene det investerer i, og i øyeblikket utgjør smallcap** 30 prosent av fondet, mens mid-cap og large-cap utgjør hhv. 31 prosent og 39 prosent. Disse tallene
kan variere mye over tid.
* Med mindre annet er oppgitt er alle avkastningstall for fondet i denne rapporten knyttet til klasse A, og etter fradrag for gebyrer
** Small-cap defineres som selskap med en markedsverdi under 2 milliarder USD, og Large-cap som mer enn 10 milliarder USD

Key earnings releases and corporate news, September 2015
Aryzta
(1,9% weight)
(xxx%)
Investment case update: Swiss bakery company Aryzta, released FY15, where overall sales increased 12,6% for the Food Group, but
underlying growth of -2,2% excluding acquisitions and currency. Within the Food Group, the main negative drag was Food North
America with a 6,2% decline in underlying sales. However, performance was solid in Europe and Rest of the World. Overall EBITA
increased 6% over last year and was basically in line with guidance. The turnaround in the North America is however taking longer than
expected, and the company now guides for positive underlying growth to H216 (prior 1H16). On the bright side, North American margins
were better than forecasts suggesting that the volume rationalization has paid off to some extent. One other concern is the debt level
(3x net debt/EBITDA), which may have pushed them to recently sell the remaining stake in the Irish agri-services company Origin for
EUR 230M. Overall we think management has provided conservative guidance and continue to see current share price as an attractive
opportunity. The company trades at 30-40% discount to the overall consumer staples sector.
Summary: The company reported underlying net profit of EUR360M which was a decrease over last year of about 4%. Food Europe
sales was EUR 1647M (underlying sales up 1%), sales of EUR 1942M in Food North America (-6%), Food Rest of the World sales of
EUR 231M (underlying up 3%). Underlying fully diluted EPS was 402,2 cent, down 5%.
Hyundai
(3,9% weight)
Investment case update: VW scandal should not post a risk for Hyundai in the US (15% of HMC unit sales) but rather an opportunity
as overall diesel sales will likely decline. In Korea, HMC should also benefit from increase in market share, amid expected increase in
scientism to import cars. In India, diesel share is high, but we do not see immediate risk. Overall diesel sales is very low in China and
therefore risk here should minimal.
Summary: The VW emission scandal has put focus on the theme across the global auto industry. Diesel engines empower 32% of
global passenger car sales, with diesel market share being 53% in Europe, 16% in the US, 52% in India and only 0.4% in China. The
market share of diesel cars in Hyundai Motor is 18% globally, with 39% in Europe and close to 0 (zero) in the US. In Korea, which
accounts for 16% of HMC unit sales, diesel penetration accounts for 39% of unit sales, sharply up from 20% in 2011, mainly driven by
increased sales of German diesel import (import cars is c18% of domestic market) after the FTA kicked in from 2011, as 68% of import
cars are diesel fueled. Since 2010, the market share of Hyundai in Korea has declined from +40% to 33% as a result of this. For
Hyundai, diesel sales in Korea accounts of c50% of overall unit sales. For VW, share of diesel sales in Korea was 90% in 1H15.

Key earnings releases and corporate news, September 2015
AirAsia
(1,9% weight)
(xxx%)
Carlsberg
(5,7% weight)
AerCap
(3,5% weight)
14
Investment case update: We had a 1-on-1 with Air Asia’s 3 CFO´s during the month, in Hong Kong, and the company claim was clear;
there are no major issues regarding accounting or capital shortage. We spent an hour on accounting treatment of leases and payments
- the reason the company has not yet come with a capitalization proposal is contradicting Indonesian regulatory demands. The reason
for the expected capital raise not yet being in place on the subsidiary level is price - the company is quite confident it is not actually
needed but will do it before year-end. We have so far given the company the benefit of trust on the issue, due to discounted share price
versus underlying assets. Also, late in the week, the company announced an up to 10 percent share buy-back.
Investment case update: Carlsberg, the Danish brewer, investment case core is a stable earner with sub-par profitability to peers
and Carlsberg is on route to be improved. The odd cost elements in the 2Q15 report and the opaque communication around it sent the
stock down 20%. The new CEO since June, Mr Cees Hart from Holland, is pushing a fast cost-cutting agenda and apparently he didn’t
see the CFO as the right person to execute along that road.
Investment case update: AerCap is the largest independent aircraft lessor globally. It is also active within engine leasing, trading and
spare part sales/service of aircrafts. The company manages a fleet of 1300 aircrafts with a current order book of additional 460 aircrafts.
On its investor day Sep 10th the company delivered plans to grow its fleet by 5% annually through 2018 and 20% in total over the next 5
years. Deleveraging target was confirmed towards debt/equity at 2,7-3,0x. Excess capital generation is expected at USD 500M (6% of
current market cap) annually which will be used for share repurchases or aircraft acquisitions. The company guided for 7 - 9% growth in
earnings over the mid-term and target ROE of 1000 bps over the 5 ýear Libor rate. We think this could prove conservative as the
company should be able to receive an investment grade rating and reduce its cost of debt. Also, if current discounted equity valuation
persists, we believe further share buybacks are likely, even after the company bought back 7% of its market cap in the AIG sell-down
earlier this year.
Key earnings releases and corporate news, September 2015
GCL Poly
(2,6% weight)
(xxx%)
Investment case update: Delivered earnings that were slightly negative for the short term given negative earnings revisions and huge
USD sensitivity. The long term case is more or less intact despite some hurdles on the way. The damaging import of polysilicon in 1H15
(to China) which pushed prices down is expected to ease off from September due to 31/8 final cut-off date for trade processing loophole
(Import Duty Levy) and the fact that polysilicon imports become more expensive due to the RMB depreciation. With the recent
commissioning of the captive power plant they are now guiding for 10%+ lower polysilicon costs (cash cost below USD12/kg currently
and will be lower than USD11/kg by end 2015). It is however a little worrying that total debt increased by 18% in 1H15 after weak cash
flow generation (net gearing of 158%, from 147% in 1H14).
During the month GCL Poly announced a proposal to dispose of its non-solar power business for RMB 3.2bn. This is subject to
shareholders approval as it is a connected transaction with the buyer being the Chairman, Mr Zhu. From a balance sheet standpoint this
is a positive transaction. As of 1H15 net debt was HKD30bn, with non-solar power net debt at HKD 4.6bn. With proceeds of HKD 3.9 bn
left after the special dividend net debt can be reduced by 28% to HKD 22bn. They could also save at least HKD 3-500m in interest cost.
However, we are concerned by the fact that this is the second related transaction proposed by the Chairman in one year (the first one
being the wafer business which was rejected by shareholders). It makes strategic sense with the sale of the non-solar business but the
question mark is whether it could have achieved a better price as a spin-off or in a third party transaction.
Fourlis
(0,6% weight)
(xxx%)
Investment case update: Greek Fourlis has two main business activities; they are the operator of IKEA stores in Greece, Bulgaria and
Cyprus and also operate Intersport stores in Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. The company saw its share price peak in the middle of 2007
at EUR 27, and now the shares are trading around EUR 2, valuing the company to EUR 113M market cap. The home furnishing market
has deteriorated 70% since the peak; from 1,5% of GDP to current 0,4% of GDP. During the financial crisis and recession in Greece the
company has managed to become a more efficient operator and also take substantial market share. Intersport has been remarkably
resilient in the downturn. Within the quarter, there were capital controls introduced in Greece, but the disruptions within the company
seem to be limited. Over last year, IKEA sales increased 4% and Intersport grew sales by 6%. EBITDA was up by 6% over last year.
Also, cash flow was strong, with operating cash flow of EUR 23M in the quarter, and net debt fell to EUR 145M from EUR 163M from
last quarter. The company also announced it has discontinued its New Look operations but is continuously searching for new projects.
We continue to believe that
Summary: Fourlis released Q215 numbers with IKEA sales increasing 4% over last year, while Intersport increased 6%. With help from
expansion in gross margins the company delivered higher EBITDA compared to last year (6%). Cash flow was strong at EUR 23M and
net debt fell to EUR 143M.
