Strong sales and improving macro outlook

The continued strength of the Egyptian residential property market has supported strong Q3 sales for Palm Hills and further residential project launches to come in Q416 are expected to keep the sales pipeline full in the medium term. Commercial real estate has contributed 10% to net profit over the year so far, a growing share of which is now recurring, and three commercial construction projects are due to be completed in FY17. Management plans to securitise up to EGP2.5bn of receivables to help accelerate construction and possibly to repay the syndicated loan earlier than scheduled. We have decreased our 2016 EBIT forecasts to reflect the accounting changes and delivery mix; our overall valuation is only slightly lower due to the reduced scope of three residential projects.
