Lokman Hekim Outperform
Lokman Hekim Outperform March 28, 2016 2016 Extel Survey runs from 21 March to 29 April. If you have derived value from our service, click here to vote for us. Good things come to those who wait Lokman Hekim deserves a fresh look as: i) Its EBITDA margin improved by 7 pps over the last two years given that its Van hospitals have started to pay off due to increased occupancy rates, ii) the Company has no FX exposure, iii) low/diminishing leverage and iv) better cost management. A potential M&A target and acquirer. The share buy-back program is ongoing and we believe there is a limited downside. Initiating with an Outperform rating and a 12-month target share price of TL5.03, indicating 93% potential return. What has changed from 2013-2015: Lokman Hekim’s EBITDA margin improved by 7 pps to 13.2% in 2015 from 2013. The operational pickup especially at the Van hospital in eastern Turkey was key. Two hospitals in Van started to run together in 2013 and now account for half of the total EBITDA vs. an EBITDA loss in 2013. We expect another year of strong operating figures from the Van hospitals especially given the fact that another hospital belonging to the competition (covering c40% of the bed capacity of all of the private hospitals in the city) has recently shut down. Another positive for the Company is the reduced share of lower margin SSI (Social Security Institution) sales falling to 65% in 2015 vs. 70% in 2013, which is another testimony to Lokman Hekim’s high quality of service at reasonable prices. Labor costs and medical supplies expenses are the bulk of the costs in the industry. Between 2013-2015, these expenses’ ratio to Company’s revenues declined from 54% and 26% to 52% and 22%. There is still room for improvement especially on the supply side. Since c40% of the supply prices are linked to FX, we find the cost control over input prices to be eye-catching given that the TL lost 30% in value against the FX basket from 2013-2015. The company had been carrying FX-denominated debt in 2013. It was able to transform all of its debt to TL, reducing its vulnerability to FX movements. As of end-2015, its net debt stood at TL28mn, implying a net debt to EBITDA of 1.5x vs. 4.8x in 2013.

Lokman Hekim could expand its hospital network through the acquisitions of hospitals which lack a brand name or are not financially solid in Turkey’s Anatolian region and in the east. Lokman Hekim could also be an M&A target itself. In addition to the Turkish healthcare sector’s growth prospects, stringent regulations that make it hard to acquire a hospital license could result in avid interest in private hospital providers.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH INVESTMENT POSITIVES We initiate coverage of Lokman Hekim with an Outperform recommendation with a DCF based 12-month target price of TL5.03/share. The stock has a 12-month total return potential of 93%. We prefer to value Lokman Hekim using DCF as we believe that DCF better captures the long-term growth potential of the business. Lokman Hekim’s strong brand name in the region where it operates, solid relationship with the government and sector representatives, capability of successful integration of new hospitals to its portfolio suggest a high growth potential given the low per capita healthcare spending in Turkey. Furthermore, we welcome the company’s efforts to attract foreign patients. Lokman Hekim could enhance its revenue generation capability with its diagnostic center in Erbil Northern Iraq, where the health market is untouched. We do not incorporate any new hospital acquisitions in our assumptions. However, it is worth noting that Lokman Hekim has always explored inorganic growth opportunities. We believe that an acquisition could bring a further upside depending on the deal price. Unique exposure to the attractive Turkish healthcare market in the BIST Lokman Hekim, the only hospital company trading in the Bourse Istanbul, is the leading private healthcare provider in Ankara and Van with 499 bed capacity. Turkey offers strong growth prospects in the healthcare sector. Healthcare spending’s share in GDP lags far behind that of most of developed countries. As of 2014, it was 5.4% compared to the OECD average of 8.9%. Moreover, Turkey has a limited capacity in terms of the number of hospital and beds. The number of beds per 10K people stands at 27 vs. Europe’s 51. On the private hospital side, the good news is that the government is willing to set aside a lower budget for health expenditures going forward as the majority of health services are currently provided by the state. The state’s declining exposure in the sector would be positive for private hospitals. Strong brand recognition in the regions in which it operates Lokman Hekim was founded in 1996 in Turkey’s capital Ankara. Its first hospital became operational in Etlik Ankara in 2002. Lokman Hekim then went on to open the largest private hospital in Ankara’s Sincan region in 2008. Etlik Hospital is very dominant in its region and works at full capacity. On the other hand, the Sincan Hospital is located in a developing region of Ankara. There is increasing healthcare demand in Sincan and Lokman Hekim’s popularity in the region is growing. After the IPO in January 2011, the company established a 51% owned entity in the eastern Turkish city of Van and opened one hospital in January 2012 and another in February 2013. Lokman Hekim’s Van hospitals are very wellknown in the city and serve the majority of patients in the region since many private hospital operators either left the city/region or the hospital buildings (inc. some state-owned ones) became useless after the 3 Please see the last page of this report for important disclosures. RESEARCH Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 earthquake in 2011. There were four private hospitals in Van and one of them (representing c40% of private hospitals’ bed capacity in Van) has been shut down recently . We believe that Lokman Hekim’s position in the regions in which it operates would further strengthen going forward as it offers quality services at favorable prices in unsaturated locations of the growing Turkish healthcare market. Growing player in Turkey Lokman Hekim initiated its operations with a 37-bed hospital in a 2,900 sqm closed area in 2002. It now has 499-beds and provides healthcare services in a 39,400-sqm plot. Its top line noted a 16% CAGR in 20092015 driven by the growth in patient figures, which grew from 538k to 848k as of 2015 (CAGR of 8%). We believe that Lokman Hekim could expand its hospital network through the acquisition of hospitals which lack a brand name or are not financially-solid in the Anatolian region and eastern Turkey. Lokman Hekim is not new to acquisitions as it had taken over two hospitals in Van. The company is always in search of inorganic growth opportunities rather than organic growth. Since the company does not prefer to invest heavily in construction as obtaining a hospital license is becoming harder and harder after the new law took effective in 2008 , our projections do not include a potential acquisition which could yield a further upside depending on the deal price. …as well as abroad Lokman Hekim is also striving to increase its international presence. It invested in a diagnostic center in Erbil, Northern Iraq. Northern Iraq is an untouched market in terms of healthcare services and offers a strong growth potential in the long term, in our view. The company transfers its patients from Erbil to Ankara. It is also worth noting that the company benefits from the incentives provided by the Turkish government. Accordingly, half of the diagnostic center’s rent is being paid by the government and half of the revenues from Iraqi patients will be exempt from taxation. Once the number of Iraqi patients has reached a sizable share in total, the Company will become much more profitable. Lokman Hekim also has healthcare tourism sales offices in Azerbaijan, Iraq, Sweden and the Netherlands. Better pricing due to the new regulation and maturity in Van Hospitals Almost all private hospitals in Turkey work with Social Security Institution (SSI). As of 2015, sales to SSI accounted for 65% of Lokman Hekim’s overall revenues vs. 70% in 2013. The current law allows for “extra billing” by private healthcare providers, whereby, based on the detailed criteria adopted by the Council of Ministers, private healthcare providers are being allowed to charge up to 200% (vs. 100% before 2014) above the price paid by SSI. The extra charges have to be paid by patients on an out-of-pocket basis. It appears that the hospitals in Van have started to pay off after two-three years and now Van accounts for 39% of total revenues (48% of EBITDA) in 2015 vs. 32% (EBITDA loss) in 2013. According to the management, one of their major competitors in Van (representing c40% of the established bed capacity of private hospitals in the city) has stopped their operations recently. Therefore, Lokman is likely to increase the occupancy rate of its Van hospital in 2016. In addition, the company will increase the established bed capacity of the Van hospital in 4 Please see the last page of this report for important disclosures. Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH order to take advantage of diminishing supply. New growth areas The company is also eyeing other sectors that offer opportunities. In addition to its hospital business, Lokman Hekim also has husbandry and residential businesses. However, those are currently negligible compared to its core hospital business. Its husbandry operations accounted for only 2% of its overall revenues in 2015. Lokman Hekim had one building with 44 apartments with c7000sqm to be sold and one building with 4500sqm to be leased. The buildings were completed with an investment of TL15mn in 2015. The 36/44 apartments have all been delivered. A M&A target There has been increasing interest in the Turkish health sector by domestic and international players given the lower share of healthcare spending compared to developed countries, rising GDP per capita and the increasing health awareness of Turkish citizens. We have seen many M&A deals in recent years that have materialized at a 9.3x EV/EBITDA multiple based on those that have been disclosed, according to the Capital IQ. We believe that Lokman Hekim could be a target company. If we take the above mentioned multiple as a benchmark, the Company’s value would be TL144mn based on our forecasts, which is 132% higher than its current market value. Share buy-back The Company initiated a share buy-back program in 1Q15 with a upper share price limit of TL6 for three years. Lokman Hekim has bought back 777,615 shares so far, implying 3.2% of its paid in capital. The program limits the downside potential to the shares. Until the Company finds a value accretive investment opportunity, the share buy-back seems plausible, in our view. Dividend payer The Company has been a consistent dividend payer since 2013. The average pay-out ratio has been 84% over the past three years. It will distribute 53% of its 2015 earnings, implying a 4.5% yield. We have assumed 50% pay out ratio for 2016E and 2017E earnings, indicating 6.5% and 7.3% yield.

RESEARCH Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 Affiliation with the Sevgi Foundation The Company formed an affiliation with the Sevgi Foundation and donated an 8,567sqm plot to the foundation to establish a university. The affiliation will be positive in the long-term providing a qualified and reasonably paid workforce and will make the Company more competitive in the sector. INVESTMENT RISKS Public Private Partnership (PPP) Investments The government is continuously making huge hospital investments across the country with private sector pariticipants. The company believes that government’s strategy to build large hospital complexes will not have a major impact on private hospitals as those complexes effectively replace the state run hospitals within the city centres. Those hospitals cater to a different segment and do not pose threat to the private hospitals in the city centres. There is an city hospital construction in Etlik, Ankara (where Lokman Hekim generates 20% of revenues) with 3,566 beds which is expected to be completed in a couple of years. Regulatory risks Turkish government is the main supplier of healthcare in the country and controls the sector. Because of high burden of health expenditures in the budget, the government had not adjusted the patient tariffs for seveneight years till 2014. However, private hospitals might suffer from the increase in their cost base. Prolonged unadjusted tariffs would result in contracting margins for private hospital operators. Overpaying The company has 1.5x of Net Debt/EBITDA and 0.4x Net Debt/Equity as of 2015. It is looking for inorganic growth opportunities. Overpaying an acquisition or deterioration in profitability due to newly acquired companies or high investment in a sector deemed as promising would lever the company. That could be result in more financial expenses. The company has TL28mn net debt and TL1.5mn long FX position mainly stemming from USD as of end-2015. Risk of new supply Main shareholders of the company are several individuals from different occupations like doctors, businessman, and academicians. There would be some share registrations to be sold in Bourse Istanbul. There are two types of share, namely “A” and “B.” “A” shares account for 0.81% of its paid-in capital and hold the privilege of appointing 51% of the Executive Committee. Nine individuals hold “A” type shares. Low liquidity Lokman Hekim’s 3-month average daily trading volume is TL1.0mn which could result in sharp price changes and bring additional volatility to the shareholders. 6 Please see the last page of this report for important disclosures.

RESEARCH Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 Main Assumptions The key assumptions in our valuation are listed below: Revenue: We predict that Lokman Hekim will attain a 2015-22E revenue CAGR of 11%. We expect inpatient and outpatient numbers to grow by a CAGR of only 4% during the same period. We increased our average revenue per patient parallel to our inflation expectations. We do not include any inorganic growth in our model. EBITDA margin: We conservatively believe that the EBITDA margin will remain in the 14.7-15.2% range throughout our forecast period. Working capital: We calculate that the company’s working capital cycle was 15% of sales in 2015. We conservatively project a gradual increase in the ratio reaching 17% in 2017-2022E from 16% in 2016E. Capital expenditures: We expect Lokman Hekim’s capex/sales ratio to be 4% in 2016 and maintain it until 2022.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH Peer Comparison We tabulate below the hospital operators’ multiples to provide a perspective as to where Lokman Hekim stands vis-à-vis its international peers due to the absence of listed peers in the Bourse Istanbul. On the international front, Lokman Hekim trades at a substantial discount to peers both on EV/EBITDA and P/E terms even though it offers stronger earnings growth prospects yet its size is smaller therefore, we refrained from using multiple comparison in our valuation.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH Revenue Lokman Hekim generally caters to the low-to-middle income segment of the population which are mostly publicly insured. 65% of Lokman Hekim’s revenues come from SSI as of 2015. As such, the impact of any possible governmental measures to reduce healthcare expenditures on the company’s revenues would be major. On the other hand, inpatient revenues comprise 58% of Lokman Hekim’s medical revenues, while the remaining is outpatient. On a hospital basis, in 2015, the company generated 60% of its revenues in Ankara vs. 39% in Van. With the launch of the Hayat hospital in late 1Q13, Van’s share in the total increased. We believe that there is an upside to our numbers as we do not incorporate any sales which might come from possible acquisitions into our model. When we look at the average revenue per patient (ARPP), growth in ARRP has been very volatile and we cannot establish any relationship to inflation or any other parameters. We attribute this situation to hospitals’ different locations and hospital openings. The company’s diagnostic center in Erbil could generate higher margin international revenues in the long term. The company also records husbandry, residential and rental revenues, which are a very miniscule portion in total (3% of consolidated revenues). We project a 15% increase in 2016 revenues and 11% CAGR between 2015-22E.

Labour costs have the lion’s share (52%) in the cost of goods followed by equipment and raw materials (22%). According to the management, 5013 Please see the last page of this report for important disclosures. Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH 60% of labor costs are derived from doctors’ salaries even though they account for c11% of the total number of employees. With the increasing operational leverage backed by higher capacity utilizations, we believe there is further room for improvement in costs. We conservatively expect the Company’s gross margin to normalize to 14.5% throughout our forecast horizon.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH 1.5 pps improvement in EBITDA margin in 2016, but stable thereafter. Lokman Hekim’s EBITDA margin rose from 6% in 2012 to 13% in 2015. The rise in the EBITDA margin stemmed mainly from lower cogs. We project the EBITDA margin to increase to 14.7% in 2016 from 13.2% in 2015 with a more profitable contribution from its Van operations. We believe that the company will be able to increase its EBITDA margin from 13.2% to a normalized 15% in 2016-2022E. Working capital requirement Lokman Hekim had days payable hovering at around 56 in the last three years with days receivable of 78 days, according to our calculations. 65% of the company’s revenues come from the Social Security Institution and there are 75 legal receivable days. In this regard, the company will always be in need of short-term financing. We do not expect a major change in those days in the foreseeable future.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH M&As Turkey has been attracting many high profile multinational firms operating in different sub-sectors of the healthcare industry, especially since 2004. Many international companies have established production bases in the country to benefit from Turkey’s geographical position, highly skilled human resources in production and management and the unsaturated domestic market with a high growth potential. There has been ongoing interest in the Turkish healthcare sector in the last decade. We have seen many deals completed so far and interest in them is still ongoing. However, the transaction details of most M&As have not been disclosed. According to Mergermarket, the Acibadem and Safak Group were acquired at a 17.5x EV/EBITDA and 12.0x EV/EBITDA in 2012 and 2008. According to Capital IQ (as shown in the table below), the known transactions, point to a 9.3x median EV/EBITDA multiple and 1.9x EV/ Sales, implying 19% and 24% higher value than our target value.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH PPP is a big risk? Turkey has undertaken an ambitious Healthcare PPP Program in which a total of 35 health campuses and city hospitals will be built using the buildlease-transfer model. The health campuses and city hospitals will add between 40,000-50,000 beds to Turkey’s existing healthcare infrastructure. The company believes that government’s strategy to build large hospital complexes will have not have a major impact on private hospitals. Those complexes effectively replace the state run hospitals within the city centres. Those hospitals cater to a different segment and do not pose threat to the private hospitals in the city centres. There is a city hospital construction in Etlik, Ankara (where Lokman Hekim generates 20% of revenues) with 3,566 beds which is expected to be completed in couple years.

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH Turkish Health Sector All health care and related social welfare activities in Turkey are coordinated by the Ministry of Health (MoH). The Ministry is responsible for providing health care for its citizens and organizing preventive health services, building and operating state hospitals, supervising private hospitals, training medical personnel, regulating the price of medical drugs nationwide and controlling drug production and all pharmacies. MoH founded in 1920, is the largest healthcare provider and is still the country’s only preventative healthcare services provider. The MoH is also the main provider of primary and secondary care. Health policy and services are MoH’s responsibility at the national level. At a provincial level, health services provided by MoH are administered by provincial health directorates, which are accountable to provincial governors. The healthcare system in Turkey has entered a long period of development under the 2003-2013 Health Transformation Program. The purpose of this program was to increase the quality and efficiency of the healthcare system and enhance access to healthcare facilities. Turkey’s health care system was very complex because of the existence of different plans and departments. The social security system in Turkey was composed of three different major organizations: • • • Social Insurance Institution (SSK) Pension Fund for Civil Servants (Emekli Sandigi) Social Security Institution for the Self-employed (Bag-Kur) However, the government unified all these institutions under one roof in 2008. Today, health care in Turkey is better than it was in the past, but has still not reached the expected quality, especially in most of the state hospitals. Private hospitals lately do a better job increasing the quality of their physicians and medical equipment. Most of the hospitals and doctors are concentrated in the cities and large towns, where there are more people and thus more profit to be had. Meanwhile, there are limited health services in the countryside and rural areas unfortunately. Consultations and treatments at private hospitals and clinics are on an upward trend mainly in developed and large cities on the back of: i) lagging health outcomes as compared to other OECD and middle-income countries, ii) inequities in access to health care, iii) fragmentation in financing and delivery of health services, which contributes to inefficiency and undermines financial sustainability and iv) poor quality of care and limited patient responsiveness. Total health spending accounted for 5.4% of GDP in Turkey in 2014, well below the average of 8.9% across the OECD countries. The U.S. is by far the country that spends the most on health as a share of its economy (with 16.4% of its GDP allocated to health) followed by the Netherlands and Switzerland. 22 Please see the last page of this report for important disclosures.

Public healthcare spending has tended to overshoot budget targets in recent years relating to wider access in spite of effective measures to limit the increase in spending on pharmaceuticals. In 2007, under the Health Budget Law (SUT), the SSI developed a bundled price for outpatient and inpatient health services. The introduction of the same price across all health insurance funds and public and private hospitals was the first step in moving towards a prospective-payment system in which money would follow the patient .

Lokman Hekim March 28, 2016 RESEARCH Healthcare spending per capita in mature markets is relatively much higher than in emerging markets, mainly as result of higher income per capita in the mature markets. Healthcare spending per person is expected to increase at a faster rate in Turkey and other developing countries like China and India than in many developed countries. This is mainly a result of the increase in annual per capita income, a gradual rise in life expectancy and improvements in healthcare. The main indicators, such as population growth, demographic ageing and treatment demands from patients, along with an economic recovery, are expected to generate an acceleration in healthcare spending growth. Turkey’s healthcare spending per capita, USD1,011 (OECD data), is still at a low level relative to more developed countries. However, it is expected to grow in line with: The gradual introduction of the universal healthcare insurance scheme, Increase in per capital annual income, Growing health awareness, A steady rise in life expectancy and the size of the elderly population TURKISH HEALTH SECTOR SWOT ANALYSIS Strength -Falling morbidity & mortality rates -Grow ing population and improving demographic indicators -Improving healthcare aw areness - Availability of a skilled w orkforce -Grow ing healthcare investments, including grow ing foreign investment in recent years -Market regulations increasingly in line w ith EU -Government's commitment to healthcare industry improvements Opportunities -Harmonization w ith the EU and sector modernization leading to a considerable potential -Significant scope for grow th, given the size of the population and current low consumption rate -Recent introduction of new R&D legislation, designed to facilitate investment -One of the fastest grow ing markets in the w orld -Healthcare reforms, such as centralized health insurance/social security, leading to better and w ider access to healthcare Source: Garanti Securities Weakness -Low per capita healthcare spending of USD1,011, putting Turkey in a position behind many European countries -Domestic patent law and intellectual property remaining below international standards -High dependence on the import of hi-tech drugs Threats -Negative effect of government price controls/reimbursement lists on market attractiveness -The costs of modernization to potentially deter the harmonization of the domestic regulatory infrastructure and industry standards w ith international norms -Need to address the substantial deficit of the healthcare system 25 Please see the last page of this report for important disclosures.
