TeraPlast: Building up (BUY - initiation of coverage)

We initiate coverage of TeraPlast with a BUY rating and a price target (PT) of RON 0.437/share, implying 42.4% upside. TeraPlast Group is the largest Romanian construction materials manufacturer, and it has been listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange since 2008. We like its growth profile, at 13% p.a., on our estimates, over 2019-22E, taking into account a potential slowdown in the construction market in 2021E. The growth should come with some improvement in margins: we forecast the EBITDA margin to reach 10.4% in the medium term, from 9.2% in 2019, driven by improvements in the profitability of its metal tiles business, and dilution of non-raw materials costs. An active dealmaker, we believe that TeraPlast is well-positioned for an acquisition, given its strengthening balance sheet. The company is focused on sub-segments of the construction market with attractive long-term development opportunities, but also some level of protection in the COVID-19 economic slowdown. On our 2020E numbers, TeraPlast is trading at a P/E of 6.4x and an EV/EBITDA of 4.5x, discounts of 69.2% and 40% vs. its peers. We believe it is attractively valued at these multiples.
