We expect 3Y CAGRs of 15% in EPS and 25% in FCF, supported by the growth outlook for small appliances worldwide, the company’s premium positioning and the additional contribution expected from Braun. We raise our TP from EUR13.5 to EUR16.5 and confirm our Buy rating. Reuters DLG.MI Bloomberg DLG IM Index FTSE Italy Market data Market cap (EURm) Free float No. of shares outstanding (m) Avg. daily trading volume('000) YTD abs performance 52-week high (EUR) 52-week low (EUR) 2,156 33% 150 148 21.5% 15.03 10.85 Premium niche leader De Longhi is a global leader in the production and distribution of small domestic appliances. It operates through four well-established brands: De Longhi, Kenwood, Ariete and Braun. It is market leader in coffee makers and food preparation machines in Western Europe, with market shares of 30% and 20% respectively, and world leader (ex-US/China) in coffee machines, with 32% of the market (it was 21% five years ago). Its strategic focus is on the premium niche: half of sales come from the top price quartile of the market. This is supported by A&P spend of 9-10% of sales. Two-thirds of production comes from China, and two-thirds of sales from Europe. Braun addition is a transformational deal De Longhi bought a perpetual licence for the Braun brand from P&G, for home care products only. It was consolidated at the beginning of last year. Thanks to its strong brand awareness and the measures taken by De Longhi (new products, new markets and an A&P push), Braun is expected to deliver a 27% 3Y CAGR in sales and contribute half the group’s additional EBITDA. Sound growth ahead: 3Y CAGR of 15% in EPS and 25% in FCF We see global demand for small domestic appliances growing in the midhigh single digits in the foreseeable future. De Longhi is expected to deliver 3Y CAGRs in 2014-16 of 10% in EBITDA, 15% in EPS and 25% in FCF. Our new estimates (EPS cut by 5% for 2013 and 7% for 2014-15) factor in a higher FX drag: EUR15m on EBITDA this year, after EUR22m last year. Buy confirmed – TP up from EUR13.5 to EUR16.5 FCF generation is the key positive here. De Longhi has already digested the Braun deal (priced at EUR221m) and it is set to turn cash-positive this year. We expect EBITDA conversion into FCF at close to 40% in 2014-16E. Current valuation is not compelling, as the stock has caught up with the market performance since the beginning of February. However, we believe that visibility on earnings momentum and cash generation is fairly high. Our rolled-over DCF now yields a TP of EUR16.5 (from EUR13.5), based on higher cash flow growth and lower cost of equity. Buy confirmed. IMPORTANT.

Its premium position (half of sales in top price quartile) is supported by A&P spend at 9-10% of sales. Focus on small domestic appliances… De Longhi is a global leading player in the production and distribution (almost entirely wholesale) of small domestic appliances (SDA), operating through four brands: De Longhi (57% of sales in 2013, in our estimates): under the family name brand, the company produces and distributes coffee makers (bean-to-cup, espresso, filter coffee, combi, grinders, Nespresso and Nescafé systems), kitchen machines (deep fryers, electric ovens, kettles, toasters, ice-cream makers), air conditioning systems (with the Pinguino brand), heating products (oil-filled radiators, convectors, fan and ceramic heaters), dehumidifiers and ironing products. Coffee (the new successful venture started at the beginning of ‘00s, at the heart of the investment case) represents about 55% of De Longhi brand’s sales, Nespresso 20%. Kenwood (30%): under the UK brand bought in May 2001 (via a PTO), De Longhi produces and distributes kitchen machines (food mixers and processors) and various other appliances for food preparation (blenders, hand blenders, hand mixers, kettles, toasters, coffee makers, bread makers, ice-cream makers, food slicers, electric knives). Kitchen machines currently represent 54% of Kenwood’s sales, while hand blenders are the main remaining item, with 8% of the total. Ariete (4%): under the Italian brand bought by Kenwood in 1995, De Longhi produces and distributes kitchen machines and food preparation appliances (ovens, electric grills, blenders, hand blenders, centrifuges, squeezers, choppers, electric graters, electric mills, beaters, toasters, bread makers, ice-cream and yoghurt makers), along with house cleaning, ironing and personal care products. Braun (9%): under the perpetual license for the German brand bought from P&G in September 2012 (only for homecare products, excluding personal care), De Longhi produces and distributes hand blenders (50% of Braun’s sales 2013, in our estimates), steam irons (15%) and other kitchen appliances (food preparation units, basic “drip” coffee makers, kettles and juicers, for the remaining 35%). There are two main overlaps between the brands’ product offering, namely with Kenwood in hand blenders and De Longhi in steam irons. Braun may take the lead in both, in light of its stronger positioning. De Longhi is a typical Italian family-run business (De Longhi family owns 67% of the share capital, after an 8% stake placement of 16 November 2012, at EUR9.50), which has become a niche global champion. Notably, it is also an example of successful generational succession, a key issue for this kind of company. Today, the CEO is Fabio De Longhi (46), the son of the founder, Giuseppe De Longhi (74), the Chairman of the company. 4 keplercheuvreux.com One company, four brands Family-run business, successful succession De Longhi Target price change The company’s origins go back to the beginning of last century, when the De Longhi family was active in the production of wood-burning stoves. In the 1950s, it was organised as a A bit of history: from heating systems... structured entrepreneurial activity, focused on the production of components for domestic heating systems. The De Longhi brand first became known in 1970s, when Giuseppe De Longhi’s company started selling the first finished products, mobile oil radiators, initially manufactured by third parties, then internally produced from 1975. In 1980, the De Longhi brand was registered and the internationalisation process kicked off. The company rapidly became the global leader in mobile heating systems, after successfully entering the US and Japanese markets. In 1985-87, De Longhi embarked on a diversification process, which enlarged its product …to kitchen appliances offering to air conditioning and treatment systems as well as small appliances for cooking. In the following few years, the company made some acquisitions to enlarge and reinforce its production structure and started building up a direct distribution network (first step in the UK, in 1986). In 1992, De Longhi launched its first machines for espresso coffee, adding the second big …and coffee machines leg to its business portfolio. Then in 2007, it started working as a partner of Nestle for the distribution of Nespresso’s coffee machines. Under the current structure, De Longhi SpA is the result of the spinoff of the professional business (professional air treatment plants and radiators, incorporated into listed DeLclima The spinoff of professional business SpA) from the old group, which now only includes the household business (small domestic appliances). The spinoff project was approved on 21 July 2011 and took effect on 1 January 2012. It was aimed at allowing the two equity stories to become clearer, enhancing the equity value of both companies.

Groupe SEB is at 68% of sales (the rest is cookware), Philips 9% (47% of Lyestyle division), Electrolux 8%, Whirlpool estimated at 5-10% (out of 18% disclosed for cooking) and Indesit <1% (new business, entered last year). De Longhi was the best-performing stock on the Italian stock exchange in the five years following the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy (from 15 September 2008 to 28 August 2013), with a total return of 450%, followed by Banca Generali, Tod’s, Txt, Azimut and Brembo. 5 keplercheuvreux.com Best stock in Milan in five years post-Lehman De Longhi Target price change …four-fifths of the business from kitchen and coffee In terms of the divisional breakdown of sales 2013 (not disclosed yet), kitchen and coffee together could represent four-fifths of the group’s total. The other activities are much smaller, including air conditioning and heating at 12% and ironing and cleaning at 6%.

In our estimates for last year, on top of a flattish trend of the company’s sales, coffee decreased to 36% of the total, mostly as a result of the overall mix rebalancing following the addition of Braun, which just has a small presence in the activity. At the same time, over this period, cooking machines went from 45% of the total in 2001 to 43% last year, portable air conditioning and heating systems from 29% to 12% and ironing and cleaning systems from 15% to 6%.

More “make” than “buy” The bulk of the high-end production sold under the group’s brand names is internalised. The only exceptions are the coffee makers produced for Nespresso and Dolcegusto partnerships (while the cappuccino maker Lattissima is fully internally produced), which are outsourced by Nestle to third-party OEMs (2+1) and then supplied to De Longhi. Conversely, low-end production is outsourced to small external producers, which work according to De Longhi’s specifications and use the moulds it provides. Currently, measured on COGS, around 50% of the group’s internal production is based in 65% of COGS in China… Italy and the remaining 50% is in China. Accordingly, 65% of total production, insourced and outsourced, comes from China. De Longhi directly entered China in 2001 with the acquisition of Kenwood, which was already producing there (in Dongguan). This was followed by a massive delocalisation campaign in 2005, aimed at generating significant cost savings. De Longhi was among the first movers to proceed in this direction, taking a tough but essential step forward to preserve its competitiveness. It must be noted here that China also poses risks, in the form of the currency risk related to the USD-peg (periodically tightening or easing) and the cost inflation risk related to the …posing currency and wage inflation risks current wage trend (that more than tripled from 2003 to 2013). This is also why De Longhi bought a new plant in Romania (Cluji) from Nokia in Q1 2012, for a total of EUR40m. The plant started operating at the beginning of last year, with a production cost of one-quarter that of Italy, and double that of China. It will be dedicated to New plant in Romania reduces exposure to China coffee makers (starting from four lines for the assembly of super-automatic machines, this year), adding new capacity to the highly specialised state-of-the-art Italian plant (Mignagola), as well as other productions that are currently outsourced, including Braun products (today Braun outsources its entire product range, the only exception being the electric engines for Minipimer handblenders, produced in Germany).

Most of SDA market is crowded the big players are well diversified into different segments and/or regions. Economies of scale are key in this business. Expanding brand awareness and bargaining power towards retailers are the main sales drivers (via both volumes and prices), making multi-product and multi-region strategies the most successful. Chart 5: De Longhi’s main competitors by region Source: Company data De Longhi differentiates itself through its tight focus on premium segment. This is reflected by the sales split by price. As shown in the following chart, in 2012 (the latest available data) De Longhi derived slightly more than half of its sales from the top-end quartile of the Focus on premium: half of sales in top-end price quartile market (ASP is above EUR172), versus main European competitors all below one third.

In particular, following the spinoff which separated household from professional activity, the commitment to invest in brand awareness became even more pronounced. We expect the A&P commitment to remain particularly pronounced in the near future, as well, as the Braun brand will need to be re-launched and even repositioned slightly higher Braun to reposition a bit higher in terms of ASP, through ad hoc campaigns.

In fact, in small More growth in SDA... domestic appliances (SDA), competition is tough – played on product innovation, pricing and distribution (as a premium player, De Longhi competes on product differentiation: quality and innovation), but demand appears to be more resilient or growing faster here than in large domestic appliances (LDA). One of the main reasons for this, mostly with regard to developed (mature) markets, is related to the relatively smaller weight of replacement demand, which accounts for slightly more than half of the total in LDA. Due to much lower penetration and much lower unit ...fuelled by innovation to status-related products prices, product innovation (R&D) and brand awareness (A&P) appear more likely to spur new demand in SDA than in LDA. Basically, demand for SDA is driven by strong reactivity to product innovation, new features, design and a certain “conspicuous” consumption of status-related products. This is reflected in the different performances of the two markets in a mature areas like western Europe: the sales CAGR (in value) is estimated at +3% over 2007-13 for SDA SDA CAGR 2007-13 in western Europe: +3% versus -1% for LDA.

According to Euromonitor, the global five-year scenario is overall positive for SDA, but regionally polarised in terms of driving segments. Air treatment should be the driver in emerging areas, coffee makers in North America and vacuum cleaners in western Europe. 14 keplercheuvreux.com A EUR30bn market globally De Longhi Target price change …coffee and kitchen segments Coffee makers and food preparation machines (three-quarters of De Longhi‘s revenues) are among the healthiest segments in the worldwide SDA market, but also more and more competitive, as sound growth and returns attract new entrants. Coffee, and more specifically espresso coffee, is enjoying a secular growing trend on a Coffee and kitchen, the healthiest segment of SDA market Coffee’s secular trend global scale. This has the form of a structural change in consumption habits across various regions worldwide. New technologies, like capsules (closed) and full-automatic (bean-tocup), have given a crucial boost as well. Nespresso’s performance offers some of the best proof, as the sales CAGR 2000-13 is 25% (up to EUR2.6bn in 2013, 30% of the world capsule market). The global coffee machine market is currently worth EUR3.8bn, of which EUR1.9bn in espresso (single-serve) and EUR0.9bn in drip coffee (American).

Espresso coffee makers, a EUR1.9bn market globally… Demand for coffee makers remains on the rise in most of the world’s regions. In 2012 (latest data available), with the exception of western Europe (flat), all other areas were growing nicely: eastern Europe +8%, Middle East +44%, Asia +76%, North America +13%, Latam +21% and Australia/New Zealand +34%. In western Europe, the espresso makers’ market was estimated at around EUR1.24bn in 2012, 70% of the world total.

Market leader De Longhi to benefit from growing demand (ex-US/China) and premium player De Longhi is well poised to fully profit from such trends, thanks to its constant focus on product innovation (R&D) and brand promotion (A&P), its production integration and tight control of its distinctive expertise (Lattissima cappuccino maker and fully automatic) and the ongoing partnership with Nespresso and Dolcegusto. Chart 14: Coffee makers, the current offer De Longhi’s new launch (in March): Lattissima Pro, price EUR499 and USD599 Nespresso new launch (in February): VertuoLine, for both American coffee and espresso, price USD299 Source: Company data The food preparation market has also been experiencing trends that favour machine producers, like customers’ propensity to trade up towards high-end and specialised Cooking at home is fashionable again machines as well as evolving preferences and behaviours in food consumption worldwide, moving towards healthy, organic, fresh, low fat and… cooking at home. The western European market of kitchen machines is currently worth EUR3.7bn, with EUR2.5bn in the breakfast segment and EUR1.2bn in food preparation. Among SDA segments, kitchen machines (split into food preparation and breakfast) were Kitchen machines, a EUR3.7bn market in western Europe the only area which enlarged its weight on the total business, rising from 35% of 2007 to 39% of 2012, still on the rise compared to 38% in 2011. The two biggest sub-segments are food mixers and handblenders. The De Longhi group is very well represented In both areas, with Kenwood’s high-end Cooking Chef and Braun’s Minipimer handblender. De Longhi’s entrance into the business was a good move, through the acquisition of Kenwood in the UK in 2001 (GBP46m PTO). Since then, the company has taken full advantage of a fast-growing market: sales of the Kenwood brand (excluding Ariete) reached GBP120m in 2001 and GBP360m in 2012, implying an 11% 11-year CAGR. 16 keplercheuvreux.com De Longhi’s Cooking Chef De Longhi Target price change Chart 15: Food preparation, western European market 27.3% 26.8% 26.5% 26.9% 26.5% 26.4% 37.8% 36.7% 35.8% 35.5% 35.1% 35.1% 24.7% 25.7% 26.2% 25.9% 26.2% 26.1% 10.2% 10.8% 11.4% 11.8% 12.2% 12.4% 07 08 09 10 11 12 Food preparation Breakfast Home care Personal care Source: Company data Global demand for kitchen machines has enjoyed sustained growth (in the teens) for years and is forecast to keep the same pace in the near future. Last year, in western Europe, it was up 13% YOY. Over a three-year period, we assume it will continue to grow nicely, at a 10% Growth set to continue, even faster than in coffee annual pace globally and mid-high single-digit in western Europe. With regard to the coffee and kitchen segments, De Longhi is certainly exposed to a nicely growing business. This was the case in the past and is set to remain so for the foreseeable future, as in both sectors consumer demand seems to be driven by structural underlying We forecast group annual organic sales growth of 4-5% drivers, which are substantially related to changing habits (in favour of espresso coffee and cooking at home) and status-related consumption (small appliances are fashionable gadgets). However, the growth potential of the business should not be exaggerated. In terms of the group's sales over the next three years, we believe 4-5% annual organic growth is a reasonable assumption (the addition of Braun should allow the company to do better). This takes into some account that: Competition is getting tougher (new entrants, e.g. Breville as the second authorised distributor of Nespresso in Australia since last year). Innovation moves fast (new products, e.g. new coffee machine launched by Nespresso in the US this year, VertuoLine, for both drip and espresso). Trade relationships are becoming increasingly demanding (online is an additional opportunity and a threat at the same time - management of both is a complex issue). In such a competitive environment, De Longhi's business model looks solid, which should allow the company to continue to nicely perform. Key strengths are a strategic focus on the premium segment, four well-established brands (De Longhi, Kenwood, Ariete and Braun), internal production of top-end products (cappuccino maker Lattissima and fully automatic espresso coffee makers), direct control of expertise (milk frothing system patent for Lattissima). We expect the company to remain a winner in the sector worldwide. 17 keplercheuvreux.com De Longhi to remain a winner De Longhi Target price change The Braun addition The Braun deal is transformational for De Longhi. One of the most popular brands in the SDA field globally is now in the hands of one of the leading SDA players, whose tight focus Braun (licence) bought end-2012 on premium niche and large international network should be of help in enhancing the brand’s performance. The deal was finalised at end-2012, and Braun’s results have been consolidated since 1 January 2013. On 16 April 2013, De Longhi announced a perpetual licensing agreement for German brand Braun with P&G for small kitchen machines, ironing systems and selected household appliances. Braun's personal care products were excluded (male dry shaving, female Perpetual licensing agreement for home care products electric hair removal, oral care, hair care and beautronics). This is why P&G retained ownership of the brand, as it is still running the personal care business (with sales four times larger than in home care). De Longhi has a right of first refusal if the personal care business is ever put up for sale. De Longhi also acquired patents and expertise connected with the home care business, the inventory related to the relevant product categories, a few productive assets (production lines and moulds) and 120 employees in Germany (80 working in R&D and marketing and 40 in the production of electric engines for Minipimer handblenders). On 31 August, after the completion of the authorisation process and the fulfilment of other conditions, the finalisation of the deal was announced and took effect from 1 September. Consolidated from 1 January 2013 The new activity was consolidated by De Longhi from 1 January 2013. The transaction value amounts to EUR221m, split as follows: EUR50m paid when the deal took effect, on 1 September 2012. EUR45m paid for the inventory bought in 2012 (EUR12m) and 2013 (the total amount was just indicated in EUR40-50m range, we assume the midpoint). EUR93m fully paid on 31 December 2012, in a single payment (while it was originally agreed that the payment would be split over 15 years, in constant annual instalments, including accrued interests). A variable earn-out sum depending on Braun's sales performance in the first five years following the deal (in two instalments calculated on the basis of Braun's result in the first three and the following two years). The total amount cannot exceed EUR122m. The NPV of this amount was written down from EUR64m at the end of 2012 to EUR33m now. The EUR221m EV is also the equity value, as no debt was involved in the transaction. This implies a 7.4x EBITDA 2015E multiple (the first year at full tilt for Braun). The deal was not EUR221m transaction value Fairly paid, at 7.4x EBITDA 2015E overpaid in our view, also in consideration of its substantial strategic relevance. Braun is a transformational deal for De Longhi, as it is a widely known and well-recognised brand worldwide (with a German premium perception). Braun preserved its brand awareness, even though under P&G it was not present in some of the major markets worldwide, like the UK, France, the US, Australia, Japan and Latam. It also seems – according to company surveys – that Braun is associated not only with product categories it actually sells, but even with products it does not. 18 keplercheuvreux.com Strong brand awareness, German premium De Longhi Target price change Chart 16: Pre-deal Braun’s brand awareness by country (blue: operated; orange: not operated) 92% 90% 84% 78% 82% 74% 64% Spain Germany Italy Russia France UK Australia 70% 65% US Japan Source: Company data We estimate Braun's sales for 2013 at EUR145m, split as follows: By region, Europe accounted for 70% (ex-URSS countries 25% and Germany, Switzerland and Austria 20% put together), Middle East (mostly UAE) and Far East Braun mostly present in Europe and kitchen machines (mostly Japan) 15% each. By activity, handblenders accounted for 45%, steam irons 15% and other kitchen gadgets 40% (as for coffee, Braun just has a small presence in drip coffee, but is not present in espresso).

This was below We estimate EUR145m sales in 2013 for Braun the EUR160-170m early-2013 guidance, mostly due to the weaker-than-expected performance in Russia (due to commercial issues on pricing and weak currency). In 2005, the last year under Gillette (bought by P&G), we estimate Braun generated sales of around EUR450, which could be regarded as a reasonable reference, implicitly as a longterm target, to measure its potential at full steam. 19 keplercheuvreux.com Sales of around EUR450m in 2005 under Gilette De Longhi Target price change Braun has huge potential, in terms of sales growth and margin expansion. De Longhi's management intends to exploit it through a combination of measures, as follows: New products, new countries: in 2014, it will enter markets in the UK, France and possibly Australia, with handblenders and steam irons (among the strongest products in current New products, new countries Braun's portfolio) plus a couple of new kitchen lines (with new design). In 2015, De Longhi will address the US market with a new full-range Braun offer, and will also introduce ironing systems all across regions. Repositioning (A&P and R&D): De Longhi will implement an abmitious advertising and promotion strategy for Braun as well, the same strategy it adopts for all its brands (it Repositioning (A&P and R&D) successfully adopted this strategy for Kenwood following its acquisition in 2001). Braun's A&P spending could amount to 15% of sales in 2014 and remain at least at 10% over the next two years. Also, R&D expenses, aimed at fuelling innovation, could be above the group's average, at 5-6% of the brand's sales in the period. Insourcing (Romania): Braun currently outsources its entire supply, except only for engines Insourcing (Romania) for Minipimer handblenders. Part of this supply could be gradually insourced, located in the group's new Romanian plant. This should give a small additional boost to the group's margins, via stronger operating leverage. As there is no disclosure from the company about the insourcing programme, we assume about one third of the total supply could be insourced over the next 2-3 years. In our estimates, this could translate into a 27% sales CAGR 2014-16E and almost 7x EBITDA over the period, with the margin reaching the level we expect for De Longhi's pre- A 27% sales CAGR over 2014-16E Braun perimeter at the end of the period (15.5% in 2016E). The following table summarises Braun’s and De Longhi's old perimeter contribution to the group's expected performance. Braun is expected to contribute 42% and 50% to the cumulated increase in group sales and EBITDA over 2014-16E; quite a significant addition.

Basically, the currency drag we expected for H1 (taking into account forex turbulence that emerged last summer) is now set to extend into H2. The EUR8m lower EBITDA we now forecast for this year is entirely connected to higher currency headwinds (based on the same EBITDA/sales as last year: we estimate EUR22/EUR50m for 2013 and EUR15/EUR30m for 2014).

We estimate Bran’s sales contribution (not disclosed) at EUR145m in FY 2013, after EUR145m from Braun EUR55m in Q4. This reflects the typically high seasonality of the SDA business in Q4 2013 (sustained by the Christmas season), which we expect to be stronger than the EUR25EUR35m-EUR30m seen in 9M 2013. Net of the Braun addition, we estimate De Longhi’s old perimeter at EUR1,488m sales in FY 2013 and EUR540m in Q4 2013, respectively -2.8% and -0.3% YOY LFL. The organic performance gradually improved along the year: -7.0% in Q1, -3.5% in Q2, -2.1% in Q3 and -0.3% expected in Q4. This was the result of the improving performance in Europe (reported at +17% in Q4 2013), both western and eastern Europe, even though the latter was hit by mismanagement issues and following the reorganisation in Russia (in Q3 2013). 21 keplercheuvreux.com -2.8% YOY LFL (exBraun), Q4 flat helped by strong Europe De Longhi Target price change Germany (fuelled by Braun) and Italy were the strongest countries in western Europe, while Poland and Ukraine were among the best performers in eastern Europe, offsetting weak Russia.

We expect the group’s adjusted EBITDA to be down by 1% YOY and EBIT down 2%. Net profit could decrease further, down 7% YOY, due to higher bills for currency hedging (EUR4m) as well as a higher tax rate (by 190bp to 25.0%).

We project a 3Y group sales CAGR of 7%. Our estimates are based on the assumption that 4-5% is the normal organic annual pace of the SDA business globally and De Longhi is poised to perform at least in line with the market. Braun’s additional sales are mostly in the UK, France and Australia in 2014 and the US in 2015. Current forex levels are taken as a proxy of the 2014-16 averages. We assume a currency drag of EUR30m and EUR15m for sales and EBITDA in 2014.

Based on slightly faster cash flow growth in the long run and lower cost of equity (9% from 10%, reflecting a lower equity risk premium and free-risk rate on Italian stocks), our DCF now yields a TP f EUR16.5 versus EUR13.5 previously. Upside is 14%. We confirm our Buy rating. DCF: EUR16.50 (our new TP) We value De Longhi using a DCF model (rolled over), based on the following assumptions: Sales growth in the "second-stage" period 2017-23E of 5.0% (sustainable organic growth, as we determined above). Global demand drivers, which are structural in coffee and kitchen businesses, should remain at work. EBIT margin expanding from 13.0% of 2016E up to 14.0% of 2019E, then stable for the following years. Operating leverage is set to gradually increase, along with progressive insourcing at the Romanian plant. Cash flow long-term CAGR lifted from 7% to 8% (on D&A and WC fine-tuning). Capex above the maintenance level, currently indicated at EUR40-50m by the company. We assume capex at 3% of sales over 2014-23E. WACC of 9.0% - from previous 10% – intended just as a cost of equity, based on slightly squeezed risk free and risk premiums, both at 4.5%, reflecting Italy’s generally increasing appeal (lower risk perceived). DCF yields EUR16.50, our new TP (EUR13.50) Our DCF valuation yields EUR16.50 per share, which is our new TP (up from EUR13.50).
