„

For the first time in a long time, and after tough reality checks, Indra’s latest quarterly reporting exceeded expectations, and showed healthy FCF generation.

„

It is still early to call this a trend. We see it as wake up call that the end of the tunnel may be not that far away.

„

Company guidance for 2013E will not be provided until late January, but we have lowered our numbers by 9-10%

which are now around Consensus. We think that both of us are now more or less up with events.

„

We expect 3% CAGR in sales, c6% in EBIT (post

restructuring) and 14% in earnings to 2015E. We assume a different geographical mix (less Spain, more

international), more modest margin recovery, a small deterioration in working capital, and assume a payout around half that of 2011. This renders a valuation of

€11.7-12.3 per share (down from €13.0-13.5).

„

The shares are 35% up since the start of the short selling ban, but trade at a 20-25% discount to sector peers (not justified on growth grounds), and have de-rated by 30- 40% since the start of the Euro sovereign crisis.

„

Overhang risk (20% Bankia; 5% Liberbank) and absence

of company guidance in the next two months would

suggest short term caution. We do not disagree, but

recommend to start looking at fundamentals. Reported

shorts are c9% of Indra’s capital.

1. Indra – 9M12 results. A turning point?

„ For the first time in a long time, Indra’s latest quarterly reporting exceeded expectations and showed healthy FCF generation.

„ It is still early to call this a trend, and FCF should suffer in 4Q12 from working capital deterioration. However, 9M12 results suggest that the end of the tunnel may be not that far away.

Indra’s 9M12 results (see Figure 1) was the first earnings beat in a long time (1% ahead in sales, 2% in EBIT pre-restructuring and 4-9% ahead in net profit). We expect this to reassure Consensus' forecasts (we are in line) and persuade the sceptics about limited earnings risk.

Moreover, FCF generation was better than expected, and the net debt stood at €661m, up from

€587m in June after the payment of a €0.68 DPS in July (€109m of cash outflow) and 4 days of additional working capital (to 105).

On the negative, however, we would highlight yet another q/q acceleration in the fall of the Spanish business (-8% in 1Q; -18% in 2Q; -24% in 3Q), which suggests an 18% contraction in 2012FY, almost twice the 10% initially estimated by Indra. A fourth of this contraction is explained by telecoms & media (-20%) and defence (-8%) which we estimate are due to lower business from key domestic clients such as Telefonica, Prisa and the Ministry of Defence. The remaining 75% is more difficult to track, but we understand that pressure was well spread across sectors in Spain. We take comfort from Indra’s comments that

cancellations/renegotiations of contracts are rare exceptions.

This contrasts with a q/q acceleration in the organic growth of the international business (+14%

in 1Q; +19% in 2Q; +35% in 3Q).

Working capital is expected to deteriorate by 5 days more before year end, but we still expect Indra to be FCF break even ex financial investments in 2012E (and €49m FCF negative including them). 9M12 results suggested that things are moving in the right direction.

2. Indra – Life after reality checks

„ Company guidance for 2013E will not be provided until late January.

However, after tough reality checks over the last two years, and an 8%- 10% reduction in our estimates, both Consensus and ourselves seem to be up with events.

„ Our estimates forecast 3% CAGR in sales, c6% in EBIT (post restructuring) and 14% in earnings.

„ We now factor in a different geographical mix (less Spain, more international), more conservative margins, some modest deterioration in working capital, and a payout around half that of 2011.

In Spain the crisis is proving tougher and longer lasting than expected, and so we reckon that we have been far too early thinking that Indra’s Spanish business was about to trough. The company, Consensus and ourselves have gone through some reality checks in recent times.

Currently, after earnings downgrades of 33-35% over the last two years (see Figure 2), we believe that estimates are for the first time in a long period, more or less up with events.

As one can see in Figure 3, we have fine tuned our 2012 numbers, and lowered our 2013-14E numbers by 8-10% to get very much aligned with Consensus.

FIDENTIIS -3 The main changes that we have introduced are as follows:

A different geographical mix of sales

Spain should account for a third of group sales in 2014-15E (vs. 50% in 2011 pro forma1). From an 8% fall in 1Q12, sales in Spain fell by 18% in 2Q12 and by 24% in 3Q12 (see Figure 4), and we now estimate a 19% fall in 2012FY /(see Figure 5).

Figure 4:Indra - Sales growth per quarter YTD, 2012

1Q12 2Q12 3Q12

Spain -8% -18% -24%

International 32% 52% 59%

of which organic 14% 24% 34%

Source: Company data

As one may recall, company indications about the domestic market started at -10% and were revised towards -15% at the release of 1H12. It is important to highlight, however, that this miss, rare in the context of Indra’s track record, is not mainly due to cancellations/delays in the order book (65-70% coverage at the end of 1Q12) but to poorer than expected performance in the 30-35% of the business not yet contracted at the end of March. However, this worse than expected performance in Spain has been more than compensated for by greater than expected growth abroad. This is key as it underlines the successful expansion of Indra’s business abroad as well as the good progress in the integration of recent M&A, mainly Politec, 6% of group sales. As an illustration, we estimate that around 50% of Indra’s business in LatAm is already due to local corporations. In fact, in 2012 FY, we have modestly upgraded our sales estimates for the group (see Figure 6) to take them towards the top end of the 8-9% guided by Indra, up from 8.5%.

Figure 5: Indra – Organic sales growth by market, 2011-15E

2011 2012E 2013E 2014E 2015E

Private demand 7% -9% -9% -4% 0%

International 14% 21% 10% 8% 6%

Source: Company data and Fidentiis’ estimates

Going forward, as shown in Figure 5, we have downgraded Spain again, which we now expect will continue to contract over 2013E and 14E, before more or less stabilising in 2015E. This implies a sharper and longer lasting fall than previously expected, i.e. 48% peak to trough in Indra’s domestic business to 2015E vs. 40% to 2014E in our former numbers. We may once again fail to assess the severity of the contraction of the Spanish business. However, one should note that this -48% is based on a 70% fall in institutional demand, in line with the 60- 70% fall for Spanish civil works to date, the sector that benefited the most in the booming years. In the absence of much visibility at present, our model assumes that this greater than expected contraction in the domestic business is only partly offset by higher growth abroad.

Overall, we have lowered our sales growth expectations at the group level to c2-3.5% from 3.5- 4.5% (see Figure 6).

Source: Fidentiis’ estimates

One could claim that our new numbers are overly conservative. For instance, we estimate that the roll out of the railways contract for Mecca-Medina a year after signing should add around

€100m to group revenues, 50% of the 2013/12 delta that we estimate for Indra’s international business. However, with the Spanish economy still struggling and awaiting the implementation of some of the austerity measures, we prefer to be cautious and see it as a cushion against potential negative surprises in the domestic business.

Lower margins

One could argue that a 12-18 months payback of Indra’s restructuring plan is the mathematical rationale behind company guidance of a 10% EBIT margin in 2014E, up from 8-9% in 2012E (8.5% in our estimates, in line with the margin reported as of September 12). Likewise, one could argue that this target is not realistic due to pressures from (a). the business mix, with an increasing weighting of lower margin services vs. solutions (see Figures 7 and 8)

Figure 7: Indra – Divisional breakdown, 2011-15E

and (b). the need to share part of these efficiency gains with clients. We agree with both arguments, but also highlight that efficiency gains at Indra are not only due to restructuring (elimination of middle managers) but to other initiatives/issues such as the following:

Indra Global Delivery, a project which is not only about near/off shoring but to the horizontal display of resources across verticals at the early stages of the projects. This should help to optimise efficiency.

Production management technology or a more industrial approach towards some of their world leading solutions (e.g. radars) as the business has gained critical mass.

Politec’s turnaround, from break even in 2011 towards a 6-7% EBIT margin in 2014E.

All in all, we estimate a theoretical contribution of these initiatives of 300bps at the EBIT margin level. Thus, company guidance of an EBIT margin in 2014E around 10% seem to assume that 50% of the improvement is absorbed by the above mentioned headwinds. This sounds reasonable, but we prefer to be more cautious due to weakness in the domestic market, which we assume is often higher margin than the international operations. Thus, we now assume a flat EBIT margin in 2013E at 8.5% (down from 9%) on the basis that the improvement in Politec is fully absorbed by further pressure at home. In 2014E, we assume a 9.3% EBIT margin (down from 10%), not far from Consensus’ 9% estimate.

Modest deterioration in working capital

Uncertainty around working capital in Spain remains as the Spanish government’s €27bn plan to pay overdue bills from public administrations proved to be no more than a one off, rather than a turning point in payment practices in Spain. Some government sources point at the FLA (€18bn liquidity fund for the regions that should be made available before year end) as the real turning point. We are sceptical. Indra sees working capital days picking up to 110 days in 2012E, and predicts a long term range of 100-110 days. We agree that this assumption is reasonable in the context of an increasing weight of the international business (Brazil has 60 days of receivables) and assuming more or less stability in Spain. However, we prefer to be more cautious, and assume that working capital days peak at 112 next year, and then progressively come down to 108 in 2015E. We insist that visibility is limited, and so we have tried to play on the conservative side.

A change in the dividend policy

We believe (and expect) that 2011 will be the last year when Indra’s dividend will be debt financed. Even if self imposed, it does not make much sense to exceed the 2x net debt/ebitda limit to pay €109m in dividends (7.5% yield). As the restructuring of the Spanish banking sector progresses, foreseeable changes in the shareholding structure – sale of 20% by Bankia and maybe 5% by Liberbank - should make thing easier. Thus, our model assumes a 30% payout, half that of 2011, which a). renders a decent 2.5-3% yield in 2012/13 and b). can be paid out of FCF and still allow for a reduction in net debt towards 2x Ebitda. (see Figure 10).

„ Indra has been play on Spain’s country risk, but this effect should reduce over time as exposure to Spanish institutional demand comes down towards 10% in the next three years.

„ The shares are 35% up since the start of the short selling ban, but trade at a 20-30% discount to sector peers than cannot be justified on growth grounds, and have de-rated by 30-40% since the start of the Euro sovereign crisis.

„ Overhang risk (20% Bankia; 5% Liberbank) and absence of company guidance for 2013E until late January may advise to wait. We do not disagree, but recommend to start looking at fundamentals. Reported shorts are c9% of Indra’s capital.

The stock is, and will remain a play on country risk (see Figure 11).

In the shorter term in 2012E, for the first time ever, the Spanish operations will account for less than 50% of the business (43% in our numbers). Looking at the medium term, if our

projections are about right, Spain will be no more than a third of the business, and exposure to Spain’s institutional demand will be little over 10% (see Figure 12). This, along with realistic earnings estimates for the first time in a long run and a foreseeable return to positive FCF generation (6-6.5% FCF yield), suggests that it is maybe time to look at fundamental valuations again.

DCF Analysis: €11.7-12.7 per share

We value Indra off a 9.5% WACC (1.4x Beta) and assume a perpetual growth rate of 1.5-2%

(versus 2% formerly). We have rolled over our model for next year, which renders a DCF valuation of €11.7-12.7 per share (see Figure 13).

Long term growth rate: €12.3 per share valuation

Another variation of the DCF analysis is to value Indra doing a long-term (10 year over the projected period) earnings growth analysis on the assumption that EPS in IT is a cash flow proxy. In the case of Indra, this assumes “normalisation” of working capital days, a key hypothesis in our analysis.

We use an 11% discount rate (cost of equity), assume 2% long-term (2016-2021) earnings growth and an 10x exit PE, in line with that of Indra’s peers in 2014E. This suggests a valuation of €12.3 per share.

Market multiples and peer comparison

In this section, we look at Indra’s current PE both compared with historical levels and the sector. As one can see in Figure 14, the short selling ban and some moderation in country risk have meant a rebound from the historical lows of this summer. However, the stock is still well below average of the last few years. Reconquering the levels of April 2011, before the start of the Euro sovereign crisis, suggests 30-40% upside.

Source: Factset

Compared to its peers, and excluding SAP (truly global, 100% solutions), Indra trades at a 20- 25% discount to its main comparables. As one can see in Figure 15 on the right hand side, this discount cannot be justified on growth grounds.

Further upside?

Visibility is limited, and so we do not dare to model much of a recovery in Spain. However, it is reasonable to expect some rebound at some stage. If we were to assume 10% growth in the Spanish operation in 2015E, a 10% EBIT margin (more in line with company guidance of a margin around 10% in 2014) and 100 days of working capital in our terminal year (2015), Indra would render an 18% FCF yield, put the stock on 6.4x PE and suggest a valuation would go up to €16.2-17.5 per share.
