♦ Incorporating KLIA 2 and SGIA into our fair value. We are taking the Relative Performance To FBM KLCI
opportunity to incorporate the KLIA 2 and SGIA projects into our fair value.
For the KLIA 2 project, we have assumed a project internal rate of return
(IRR) of 8.0%, which implies an equity IRR 17.9%. Discounting back the
MAHB
projected cashflow at 10%, we estimate that MAHB will yield an
enhancement of RM716.3m, translating to 65.1 sen per share. On the other
hand, for the SGIA project, we have assumed a project IRR of 10.0%,
FBM KLCI
translating to equity IRR 24.4%, by discounting back the projected cashflow
at 10%, we estimate that the investment will yield an enhancement of
RM213.7m based on its 20% stake, translating to 19.4 sen per share.

Key Takeaways
♦ Brief recap. A consortium consisting of Limak Holdings (LIMAK), GMR Infrastructure Limited (GMR), and MAHB
had acquired the concession right to operate and manage Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SGIA). The
terminal commenced operations in Nov 2009.
♦ Highlights. Key takeaways during our recent visit to Sabiha Gocken International Airport (SGIA) are:
1. In the near term, SGIA will not significantly contribute to MAHB’s earnings as it expects a period of
gestation of seven to eight years. Nonetheless, management is optimistic in the long-term terminal given
its high growth potential.
2. SGIA is poised to register strong traffic growth going forward mainly due to: 1) Spillovers of capacity
constraints in Ataturk International Airport (AIA) in tandem with growing passenger traffic; 2)
Geographical advantages (areas adjacent are mainly industrial and residential areas with estimated 20m
population); and 3) Increasing connectivity by fast-growing airlines i.e. Pegasus Airlines, Anadolu Jet and
SunExpress (Turkish Airlines-Lufthansa). Already, SGIA was Euro’s fastest growing airport in 2002-2008.
2. Concession fee EUR1.9bn to be paid in 20 years, with no fee payable within the first three years
7. Operational rights Terminal buildings, car parks, ground handling, cargo, aircraft refueling operations, construction
of the operation of the new terminal building, hotel and etc

♦ One for the future. According to management, SGIA will not significantly contribute to MAHB earnings in the
short term as it expects a seven to eight years’ gestation period. However, management is optimistic on the
development of SGIA given its high growth potential. While currently only 20% of passenger traffic in Istanbul is
from SGIA, management expects this to increase to 45% within the next couple of years.

♦ One airport’s loss is another airport’s gain. Currently, there are two airports in Istanbul, SGIA and Ataturk
International Airport (AIA) of which SGIA rests on the Asian side while AIA is located in the European side. While
currently AIA is considered to be the main airport of Istanbul, AIA is facing capacity constraints and is estimated
to have exceeded capacity by 40%. Also, we note that constraints are further exacerbated by the lack of space
surrounding the terminal. Therefore, we believe this provides SGIA with the opportunity to capture AIA’s spillover
passengers. Already, it has shown significant increase in passenger numbers i.e. Jan-Sep 2010 registered 88.8%
yoy growth of total passenger number (see Chart 6). In addition, SGIA is expected to handle a capacity of 35-
40m towards the end of the concession period.

♦ Geographical advantages. In the same vein, we note that the Asian side of Istanbul is located in the industrial
and residential areas i.e. Bursa, Gebze, Izmit, Sakarya, Yalova and the Istanbul Anatolian side. The areas are
estimated to have 20m population while AIA’s location caters to only around 3% of the Istanbul’s total
population. In addition, despite AIA’s distance being closer to city centre vis-à-vis SGIA, we highlight that the
route to and fro AIA is typically congested. We believe this would give SGIA advantage in relation to airport
choice.

1. Capacity 25m passenger capacity (capacity 30m passenger capacity (limited by space)
expansion to 35-40 passengers by 2028)
♦ SGIA the gateway for future prospects. Given the success in completing the terminal well within its expected
time of 18 months vs. estimated 24-30 months, we believe this could potentially boost MAHB’s reputation and
open to further opportunities going forward. Note currently there are about 50 terminals in Turkey which provides
MAHB with ample opportunities.
♦ Growing destinations on the back of low-cost carriers. SGIA is the hub for fast-growing low-cost carriers
i.e. Pegasus Airlines, Anadolu Jet and SunExpress. We believe the surge in passenger traffic is a testimony to the
growing demand for budget flights. Already, SGIA has increased its international destinations (see Chart 7).
♦ Incorporating KLIA 2 and SGIA into our fair value. We are taking the opportunity to incorporate the KLIA 2
and SGIA projects into our fair value.
1. For the KLIA 2 project, we have assumed a project internal rate of return (IRR) of 8.0%, which implies
an equity IRR 17.9% (based on 70:30 debt-to-equity, 5.0% costs of debt and 25% tax). Discounting
back the projected cashflow at 10%, we estimate that MAHB will yield an enhancement of RM716.3m,
translating to 65.1 sen per share.
2. On the other hand, for the SGIA project we have assumed a project IRR of 10.0%, translating to equity
IRR 24.4% (based on 75:25 debt-to-equity, 6.5% cost of debt and 20% tax), by discounting back the
projected cashflow at 10%, we estimate that the investment will yield an enhancement of RM213.7m
based on its 20% stake, translating to 19.4 sen per share.

Earnings Forecasts
♦ Forecast. Maintained.
♦ Investment Case. Following the incorporation of KLIA 2 and SGIA projects, our indicative fair value is raised from
RM5.96 to RM6.81 based on “sum of parts” (see Table 4). We are positive on MAHB as: 1) It is an excellent proxy
to the booming air travel sector in the region; and 2) It allows investors to piggy-back on Air Asia’s air passenger
growth. Maintain Outperform.
