Considering limited preparation time, the PML-N governments FY14 Budget, delivered by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar comes across as focused on pushing through energy reforms (circular debt stock to be eliminated in 60 days) and reviving the privatization program with a view to curbing the fiscal deficit to 6.3% of GDP vs. 8.8% in FY13. Also laudable is the decision to continue with the previous governments targeted support program, a welcome sign that the PML-N government is not looking to rescind previous positive steps. That said, much remains contingent on execution capability (revenue collection targets appear ambitious) as well as on the materialization of foreign assistance. We see a generally positive impact from the market's perspective due to 1ppt reduction in the corporate income tax rate (exBanks) and continued exemption from OMCs and Refineries from 1% turnover tax. Specifically, the high PSDP allocation spells positives for Cements while the Oil & Gas and Electricity sectors should continue momentum on resolution to circular debt. Our revised end-Dec13 Index target is 23,300 points. The Economy: With provisional FY13 GDP growth logging in at 3.6%, the FY14 Budget envisages achievable GDP growth of 4.4%. The total budgetary outlay for FY14 is PkR3,985bn, up 15%YoY, underpinned by an ambitious FBR tax collection target of PkR2,475bn (+23%YoY) leading to a fiscal deficit target of 6.3% of GDP. While revenue collection (tax + non-tax) is highly contingent on execution capability and dependence on external sources (incl. privatization proceeds) will remain strong, key positives include planned 40%YoY reduction in tariff differential subsidies and high PSDP allocation of PkR1,155bn given the myriad backward linkages of the construction industry. The Market: No change to the CGT regime is a key positive. Although turnover tax increase to 1% will hurt specific sectors, reduction in corporate income tax rate (ex-banks) to 34%, which is proposed to be gradually reduced to 30% is a key positive in the broader context where the AKD Universe (ex-banks and E&P) should see EPS estimate upgrades of 1%-2% across FY14F/FY15F. Other noteworthy measures include mandating dividend income for companies as final tax and withdrawal of tax exemption on specie dividends (e.g. bonus issues). In our view, initial market movement will track sector-specific developments with attention to soon turn to the Jun 21'13 MPS, IMF-Pakistan talks at month-end and the upcoming energy reform plan. We expect foreign investors to remain engaged with the Pakistan Market with relatively undemanding valuations (FY14F P/E: 7.8x) underpinning our revised end-Dec'13 Index target of 23,300 points although we caution that the market could witness near-term volatility as divergent sector themes come into play. Sectors: A mixed bag - we see clear positives for Cements (big PSDP allocation) while OMCs/Refineries may see a relief rally due to exemption from higher turnover tax (no change in the specific clause of the Income Tax Ordinance related to oil & gas exemptions). OMCs, Refiners and Gas T&D companies will continue to be subject to 0.5% turnover tax. Sectors that appear largely unaffected include Index heavyweights E&P and Banks as are Telecoms, Textiles and Electricity. We see negatives at the margin for Fertilizers (high urea import subsidy) and Autos . (higher taxes on new registrations). .

Although turnover tax increase to 1% will hurt specific sectors, reduction in corporate income tax rate (ex-banks) to 34%, which is proposed to be gradually reduced to 30% is a key positive in the broader context together with no change to the CGT regime. Other noteworthy measures include mandating dividend income for companies as final tax and withdrawal of tax exemption on specie dividends (e.g. bonus issues). While initial market reaction may depict volatility as divergent sector-specific themes come into play, we expect investor attention to soon turn to the Jun 21'13 MPS, IMF-Pakistan talks at month-end and the upcoming energy reform plan. Importantly, we expect foreign investors to remain engaged with the Pakistan Market as valuations remain relatively undemanding (FY14F P/E: 7.8x) underpinning our revised end-Dec'13 Index target of 23,300 points. From a sectoral perspective, we expect Cements to outperform in the near-term. Genesis of market performance: After 49% returns in CY12, the KSE-100 Index has gained another 34%CYTD where recent strong market performance has been driven by 1) a smooth democratic transfer of power and the emergence of a strong central government, 2) expected priority focus on energy sector reforms, 3) lower inflation (May'13: 5.8%YoY) which opens up the prospects for further monetary easing and 4) continued foreign interest that has seen CYTD FPI clocking in at a net US$400mn.

Eyeing 23,300+! With the FY14 Budget containing a blend of positives and negatives for the listed corporate sector, initial market performance could depict volatility post initial positive momentum. That said, investor attention should shift very quickly to the state of the economy (covered in detail in the next section) as well as to market specific developments. In this regard, considering market valuations are still undemanding (FY14F P/E: 7.8x) ; D/Y: 7.0%) we raise our end-Dec'13 Index target to 23,300 points with potential for further gains provided monetary easing sustains. In addition to the economy particularly the Balance of Payments position, key flags going forward include the execution capability of . the new government, corporate sector profitability and FPI outlook. The GoP's deliverability: While an energy reforms plan will shortly be announced separately, the FY14 Budget appears focused and cements the market's views that the
04
The upcoming reforms plan will go a long way towards setting the tone
new government will attach priority focus to the resolving the energy crisis where the vow to eliminate the circular debt stock in 60 days points to a likely hefty T-bill issuance. This will, in our view, be a key litmus test for the next government where success in resolving the energy issue would give immense credibility. Within this backdrop, the GoP has outlined ambitious targets for FY14 with respect to: 1) revenue collection (tax + non-tax), 2) subsidy control, 3) high PSDP allocation and 4) external receipts including revival of the privatization program. Consistent deliverability on the same will likely further buttress investor confidence and potentially lead to a valuation rerating going forward. Corporate sector profitability: Based on a sample of 40 top-tier companies, corporate profitability decelerated to 5%YoY in 1QCY13 vs. 10%YoY growth in 4QCY12. This was largely due to weak earnings delivered by Index heavyweights Banks (tighter NIMs) and Oil & Gas (upstream sector disappointed due to production slippages and high exploration costs). However, ex-financial growth was 11%YoY while ex-financials/oil & gas growth was a robust 60%YoY, underpinning continued strong performance for Cements, Textiles and Fertilizers, among others. At the same time, broader corporate profit growth remains inline with expectations. Going forward, we expect headline corporate profitability growth to recover to the mid-teens in 2014 with hitherto lagging Index heavyweights poised to depict a turnaround. As a result, while the Pakistan Market's FY13F P/E of 8.9x is at a 44-month high, FY14F P/E contracts to a more palatable 7.8x with room for upside as corporate income tax rates are reduced and turnover tax exemptions are potentially obtained.

FPI outlook: The MSCI World Index gained 13.2% in CY12 and has followed that up with 8.9%CYTD gains, with global equity market rallies ostensibly being driven by availability of cheap funds with global central banks engaging in coordinated monetary easing amidst bond buyback programs. Of late however, global equity markets are facing pressure (MSCI World Index down 4.9% since CYTD peak) with burgeoning expectations that a strengthening US economy will lead the Federal Reserve to scale back stimulus. That said, we believe foreign investors are likely to remain engaged with the Pakistan Market considering earnings growth is poised to rebound, valuations remain attractive (Pakistan trades at a 29% discount to the MSCI Asia Pacific Index) and that Pakistan's weight in the MSCI Frontier Markets Index may increase by 2ppt to ~7% in May'14 when the Qatar and UAE indices will be upgraded to the Emerging Market Index. In this regard, CYTD net FPI of US$400mn (which contains one-off flows related to ULEVER buyback) are at 0.8% of market capitalization,

still lower compared to several regional peers such as India and Philippines. Over the medium-term, further unlocking of value will emerge post elevation to the MSCI Emerging Market Index where the Pakistan Market already meets the quantitative criteria for upgrade (four companies needed with market cap of US$1.01bn; free float market cap of US$505mn and 15% AVTR) while uptick in activity - CY13TD volumes and value at 262mn shares and . US$400mn - provides clear insight on the qualitative aspects, in our view. Regional Valuations

Investment perspective: In our view, the FY14 Budget holds a mixed bag for the listed corporate sector with divergent themes to potentially lead to volatility in market performance post initial positive momentum. Specifically, we see clear positives for Cements (big PSDP allocation) while OMCs/Refineries may see a relief rally from exemption from doubling of turnover tax. Sectors that appear largely unaffected include Index heavyweights E&P and Banks as are Telecoms, Textiles and Electricity. We see negatives at the margin for Fertilizers . (high urea import subsidy) and Autos (higher taxes on new registrations). AKD Universe Snapshot

Budget Implications
Budget FY14 is a mixed bag for the KSE. Emergent positives include a clear focus on addressing the circular debt issue, higher PSDP spending and reduction in corporate taxes. Increase in turnover tax rate is the the big negative for the market though
Market
Neutral
Positive
Significant infrastructure development plans announced which include spending on dams, canals, power projects, roads and low cost housing. Corporate tax rate reduced by 1% to 34%. GST has been increased to 17% from 16% in FY13. Taxes are being levied on real estate devlopers and builders.
Cements
Overall impact should be positive as demand due to spending on big ticket infrastructure projects and the decrease in coroprate tax rate offset the negative impact of the levy of tax on real estate developers and builders.
Neutral to Negative
Advance tax on registration of new cars increased. Furthermore add. valorem tax of 10% imposed on 1800cc+ cars. Additionally, duty reduction is proposed on Hybrid cars which could eat into the share of OEMs.
We view budget implications for the Auto sector to be neutral to negative due to increase in advance tax on new registrations, reduction in import duties of hybrid vehicle cars and application of add. valorem of 10% on 1800cc+ cars. Status quo maintained on CKD and CBU imports. Announcement of taxi scheme going forward could be a trigger, particulalrly for PSMC.
Autos
Neutral to Positive
Considering no change to the relevent clause for oil & gas exemptions in the Income Tax Ordinance, we understand that OMCs and Refiners will continue to be subject to 0.5% turnover tax. Elmination of outstanding stock of circular debt within 60 days is a broader positive for the sector.
The Budget is a non-event for the E&P sector but status quo in turnover tax rates spells a relief rally particularly as GoP focus remains on circular debt elimination.
Neutral to Negative
Increase of 1% in GST will increase inflationary pressures, reducing purchasing power ceteris paribus. However, the packaged milk sector will continue to enjoy exemption on GST on output, as the exemption of GST withdrawn on certain products containing milk preperations does not include EFOODS products as per management.
FMCGs
While FMCGs could witness kneejerk downward reaction, EFOODS management has indicated that GST imposition will not apply on their products. We advocate a Buy on Dips stance.
07
Budget Implications
Zero rating scheme for intermediary textile products is being reintroduced while sales tax will be levied on finished textile goods such as home textiles, made ups and garments.
Neutral
Electricity
Positive
A one- time cash injection of ~PkR500bn is expected in the next 60 days. In addition, total power subsidies allocation of PkR220.1bn is 37% lower than FY13R allocation of PkR349.287bn.
Elimination of circular debt will ease liquidity constraints for IPPs, resulting in higher fuel supply and enhanced utilization levels. While sustained positivity will depend on long-term structural reforms, lower subsidy allocation for FY14 indicates power tariff rationalization.
Neutral
An amalgam of minor positives and negatives. Positives include decision to allow tax on dividend income to be treated as final tax and freezing tax on income from money market funds/income funds at 25%. Negatives include increasing WHT on cash withdrawals (PkR50k and above) to 0.3% while corporate income tax rate will stay unchanged.
Banks should not witness any material direct impact from the FY14 Budget although they stand to reap medium-term benefits if economic growth picks up. For now, interest rate trajectory holds more meaning for Banks. We retain a selective preference for the larger banks with a liking for UBL and BAFL.
Banks
Telecom
Neutral
The Government has set a rather ambitious 3G auction license target of US$1.2bn, which should result in a per license cost of ~US$300mn (PkR31.2bn)
Budget is largely a non-event for the telecom sector. 3G auction, if successfully conducted will help lift cellular ARPUs but could result in curtailment of PTC dividend and higher sector leverage.
Neutral to Positive
Subsidy for urea import has been set at PkR30bn, 15%YoY higher than last year's budgeted amount. Up gradation of Guddu Power Project, which is allocated gas from the Mari network, has been announced, which could potentially lead to higher gas curtailment for Mari supplied plants.
With subdued international urea prices, the allocated amount for urea subsidies is estimated to result in urea imports of ~0.85mn tons, accounting for ~15% of total consumption for FY14. Gas supply to Guddu Power is currently suspended, where resumption in production could lead to higher gas curtailment for Mari based plants.

Budget Review
Although the FY13 GDP growth target of 4.3% was missed (FY13P growth: 3.6%) due to a persistent energy crisis retarding manufacturing growth and security concerns, positives for the fiscal year included 1) benign CPI average of 7.8%YoY (11MFY13) much lower than the GoP target of 9.5%, 2) a lower than expected CA deficit of ~1.1% of GDP partly due to receipt of CSF flows amounting to US$1.8bn and 3) contained 4.2% depreciation in the PkR/US$ parity. That said, structural deficiencies persist with the FY13 fiscal deficit clocking in at a high 8.8% of GDP vs. the 4.7% target as provisional FBR tax collection of PkR2.07tn fell some way short of the FY13 target while the subsidies target was again overshot. At the same time, the investment-to-GDP ratio remained subdued at 12.6% of GDP. Going forward, while the FY14 Budget rightly prioritizes the energy issue as well as reviving the privatization program, the Balance of Payment position stands out as the key-nearterm risk, potentially leading to a formal IMF program before too long. . Within this backdrop, the FY14 Budget pinpoints structural reforms such as widening the tax net, addressing the acute energy deficit (5,000MW shortfall at peak hours) and privatization as holding the keys for unlocking Pakistan's true growth potential even as the economy will likely remain reliant on the materialization of foreign flows in the near-term. The FY14 Budget envisages: GDP growth of 4.4% which appears achievable, in our view, particularly if the energy issue is tackled head-on. A total budgetary outlay of PkR3.9tn and FBR tax collection target of PkR2.5tn (+23%YoY) underpinned by a 1ppt increase in GST to 17% and doubling turnover tax to 1% even as corporate income tax rate is proposed to be reduced by 1ppt to 34% A fiscal deficit target of 6.3% of GDP. Provided subsidies are contained, actual budgetary shortfall should be similar to the target Average inflation of 8.0% vs. an average of 7.8% in FY13 (11M). Target appears broadly achievable but is susceptible to risks emanating from an increase in power tariffs, a weaker PkR/US$ parity etc. External inflows amounting to US$5.9mn emanating from programme loans, privatization proceeds etc. Failure to realize the same in a timely manner may necessitate an IMF program in 2HCY13. In our view, almost as important as the Budget will be the GoP's energy reforms plan to be unveiled shortly. From a broader vantage, any respite on the energy front will firstly be positive for the Oil & Gas and Electricity sectors (resolution of circular debt) to be followed by across-the-board benefits where capacity utilizations for various sectors should increase while private sector credit offtake (presently 5%YoY) should also revive. This should ultimately result in higher employment generation and an improvement in overall social conditions and living standards, potentially lead to a second round of positives for the corporate sector in terms of stronger domestic demand. In our view, the GoP's resolve and execution capability will determine the extent of sustainable macroeconomic improvement that shall be witnessed across FY14, with our without an IMF program. .

The Economy
With provisional FY13 GDP growth logging in at 3.6%, the FY14 Budget envisages achievable GDP growth of 4.4%. The total budgetary outlay for FY14 is PkR3,985bn, up 15%YoY, underpinned by an ambitious FBR tax collection target of PkR2,475bn (+23%YoY vs. nominal GDP growth of 12.5%YoY) even as an eye on expenditure control leads to an achievable fiscal deficit target of 6.3% of GDP. While revenue collection (tax + non-tax) is highly contingent on execution capability and dependence on external sources (incl. privatization proceeds) will remain strong, key positives include planned 40%YoY reduction in tariff differential subsidies pointing to a likely increase in power tariffs ahead and high PSDP allocation of PkR1,155bn given the myriad backward linkages of the construction industry.

Ambitious tax collection target: Pakistan has one of the lowest Tax-to-GDP ratios in the world at less than 10% of GDP. In this regard, FY13P FBR tax collection is PkR2,007bn, much lower than the budgeted PkR2,381bn target. Going forward, the new government is aiming to raise the Tax-to-GDP ratio to 15% across the next 5yrs through a widening of the tax net. In the near-term, the FY 14 Budget envisages FBR tax collection of PkR2,475bn which would represent an increase of 23%YoY - ambitious considering nominal GDP growth of not more than 12.5%YoY. In this regard, the 1ppt increase in GST to 17% will only add an estimated PkR50bn to overall revenue collection while doubling of turnover tax to 1% will likely come under severe pressure for exemptions from affected corporates. Within the backdrop of proposed 1% p.a. reduction in corporate income tax rate (ex-Banks) to 30% over the medium-term, tax collection targets will hinge on widening the tax base. For now, we expect the FY14 revenue collection target of PkR2,598bn to be missed by about 10%.
Non-tax revenues require execution: According to the revised revenue estimates for FY13, the GoP achieved non-tax revenue of PkR712bn, broadly inline with the target of PkR732bn. This was despite failure to conduct the 3G license auction where Defense Receipts came to the rescue. For FY14, the government is targeting non-tax revenue generation of PkR822bn, up 15%YoY. In this regard, considering that the interest rate environment may potentially remain soft, the targeted SBP profits of PkR200bn may not
11
materialize. At the same time, even if the 3G license auction finally goes through, targeted receipts of PkR120bn appear on the higher side, in our view. As a result, we eye a 15% shortfall in budgeted non-tax revenue leading to total gross revenue receipts of PkR3,103bn vs. the targeted PkR3,420bn. Privatization proceeds can be a winner: Recognizing the acute need to revive the privatization process, the GoP has budgeted an amount of PkR79bn against this head for FY14. In our view, provided the GoP prioritizes execution, the privatization proceeds target can easily be met through second round GDR/SPOs for the large E&P companies as well as selected commercial banks together with targeted privatization of GENCOs/DISCOs. At the same time, the GoP has signaled its intent to focus on restructuring bleeding SOEs including Pakistan Railways. In addition, an amount of PkR50bn has been earmarked through issue of Eurobonds which we believe can possibly go through particularly as Pakistan's risk perception appears to have reduced going by the recent reduction in CDS spreads and existing Eurobond yields. That said, any inordinate delay in the privatization process will likely necessitate another IMF program.
EXPENDITURE
Current Expenditure
10% 8% 11% 48%

Pension Subsidies
Looking to limit current expenditure: On the current expenditure side, the GoP has increased defense allocations for FY14 to PkR625bn (+10%YoY). That said, the GoP is planning to reduce overall subsidies by 35%YoY largely due to a reduction in the tariff differential subsidy. In this regard, considering the GoP appears to be serious in conducting energy sector reforms, including tough decisions such as raising power tariffs, we believe the actual subsidy burden should not exceed the budget target by a wide margin. This is within the backdrop of focused targeted subsidies where the GoP has earmarked a 29%YoY increase in the Benazir Income Support Program to PkR75bn. At the same time, while the FY14 Budget envisages a 12%YoY increase in domestic debt servicing to PkR1,065bn, this figure could potentially tag in below PkR1,000bn if the interest rate environment remains soft. In sum, together with a planned austerity drive at the governmental level (underpinned by a 45%YoY reduction in the PM office's own budget), the GoP plans to limit increase in current expenditure to a manageable 10%YoY. Large development budget: The total budgetary allocation for PSDP has been set at a record high PkR1,155bn (federal component: PkR540bn; up 40%YoY) where inline with
12
expectations, the PML-N government has outlined a vision to embark on large-scale infrastructure projects including dams (Gomal Zam, Diamer Bhasha, Mangla raising etc.), motorways (Gwadar-Karachi-Northern Areas) and low income housing projects (1,000 colonies). While the GoP's vision to revive economic growth through the construction industry given its myriad of backward linkages is laudable, actual PSDP allocation remains hostage to revenue collection where shortfall in the same will likely lead to a cut in the federal development budget as has been the case in prior years. Fiscal deficit & Financing: We estimate that the actual FY14 budget deficit will likely remain close to the targeted 6.3% of GDP with revenue slippage to be compensated for by a reduction in the development budget. In this regard, with materialization of targeted external resources of PkR576bn subject to risks, the onus of bridging this gap will continue to fall heavily onto domestic banking channels where targeted bank borrowing of PkR975bn may potentially be exceeded. Medium-term Economic Framework: While the FY14 Budget acknowledges that this coming fiscal year will remain a year of consolidation ahead of stability, projections for the next few years are more optimistic. In this regard, the GoP is targeting GDP growth of 5.5% in FY15 and 7.0% in FY16. In our view, while FY14 GDP growth should clock in above the 4% mark, consistent improvement up to the 7.0% growth mark will likely need resolution to the energy deficit coupled with an uptick in private sector credit offtake. At the same time, the GoP is aiming to restrict inflation to 8% across the next 3yrs which appears relatively more achievable provided natural calamities are averted, international oil prices remain stable and there is no speculative run on the PkR. Considerably more challenging, in our view, is the aim to raise the Tax-to-GDP ratio to 15% across the next 5yrs where this may require agriculture tax/wealth tax in addition to a comprehensive widening of the tax net. In sum, while the FY14 Budget focuses on the right areas and provides a policy guideline for the next 5yrs, the road ahead remains challenging where we reiterate that an IMF program appears likely in the next 3-6 months.

As part of near-term measures to curb the circular debt, the government is likely to issue T-bills worth ~PkR500bn in the next 2 months, where an immediate relief across the energy chain will spell positives for IPPs. Addressing of structural concerns relating to recoveries and reduction in line losses is also a long term positive for the sector. While sustained positivity for the sector would depend on long-term structural reforms, lower subsidy allocation for FY14 (PkR220bn vs FY13R allocation of PkR349bn) indicates potential planned tariff hikes during the year. Our preferred plays in the IPP space are HUBC and KAPCO.

The budget has remained silent over the International Clearing House Mechanism which in itself is a positive. Ambitious 3G auction target of US$1.2bn, translating into a per license fee of ~US$300mn (PkR31.2bn). We maintain our conviction call on PTC (Dec'13 end TP of PkR34/hare, implying 52% upside from current levels). 1% reduction in corporate tax rate would increase our annualized earnings estimates by 2% or PkR0.08/share. While the auction of 3G license will help in boosting cellular ARPUs which have been stuck in the US$2.5 range, higher cash outlay will result in curtailment of dividends for PTC. .
