Kalekim: a growth story worth paying for (initiation of coverage)

In this report, we initiate our sponsored research coverage of Kalekim, one of Turkey’s leading building chemicals producers. We see the company as a solid growth play with a strongly cash-generative business model and an unlevered balance sheet. Kalekim benefits from organic growth in the domestic market, while also generating around one-third of its revenues from exports, the majority of which are destined for Iraq. We believe also that its solid business model and unlevered balance sheet leave room for acquisition targets in adjacent sectors. We estimate 158% yoy growth in revenues in 2022E, as a result of pricing, a weaker TRY and the acquisition of Lyksor Chemicals; and 168% yoy EBITDA growth. We also project 38% and 32% CAGRs in revenues and EBITDA for 2022-25E. Kalekim trades at a deep discount to its global peers on our 2022-23E EV/EBITDAs and P/Es. We estimate the potential fair valuation range at TRY 29.2-44.9 vs. the current price of TRY 20.4.
