Core portfolio changes

Reducing our net short on Kuwait We close our Avoid position in Kuwait Finance House. We could expect the market-talk about the bail-out or equity fund to continue moving Kuwaiti bank shares higher. KFIN is the cheapest from our current Avoids in Kuwait in terms of P/tNAV12e of 1.8x vs. pre provisioning RoE of 22%. We continue to be net underweight on Kuwait due to the poor credit outlook and relatively high valuations. Burgan bank remains firmly in our Core portfolio (as the only attractively valued Kuwait bank, with a very solid profit growth helped by its recent Turkish acquisition), while we maintain Boubyan and Gulf Bank in our Avoid portfolio, as both remain strongly overvalued. Only 25% of the Kuwaiti fund that was established after the fall of Lehman of KWD1.5bn appears to have been deployed in the equity markets. Next to that, a KWD1bn real estate fund has been approved. There has been market talk about a new potential fund of KWD2bn that could be used to either buy publicly listed equities, buy out distressed assets or provide collateralized loans to distressed borrowers. The potential size is impressive as the total NPLs of the banks under our coverage is approximately the same amount, and equals to 7% of the market value of Kuwait stock market. We do not expect a quick fix and remain underweight on Kuwait: 1) The fund may only buy listed equities and as a consequence may only lift the Kuwait stock market for a limited period of time (7% of market cap). 2) The fund may direct lending to troubled borrowers, but we do not expect the fund to be used to buy out bad loans without a sharp discount, and we expect the fund to be run on commercial terms. 3) We expect this potential fund to be relatively slow moving. 4) We see room for further NPL formation, particularly relating to investment companies, such as Kharafi group, which represents an estimated c10% of NBK’s loan book. 5) We continue to see very limited fundamental upside in Kuwaiti banks, considering the average valuation of P/tNAV 12e of 2.0x vs. an average ROTE of 13.9% in FY13e and pre-provisioning ROTE of 21.6%. Within UAE we remain very comfortable with our long positions in FGB and UNB, as we expect both banks to receive waivers with respect to most of their single party exposures. The UAE CB should not postpone the deadline, but instead would look at banks case by case. We continue to recommend NBAD, but we are unwilling to put it in our Core Portfolio: it is still unclear how NBAD's growth strategy would be impacted by the new rules. We see the recent weakness in CIB and CAE as attractive entry points, and we see room for the valuation gaps to further narrow vs. the sector, particularly if interest rates fall further, and we expect a very strong Q3

We see however downside in NSGB, and we see a downside risk in the stock as we expect if QNB reaches an agreement with SocGen, its 77% majority owner, it would do so below the current market cap (41% increase since the talks were announced). QNB has until the end of the month to submit an offer. If the offer is not made or QNB withdraws interest, the law stipulates preventing QNB from making further bids for six months. ENBD has bid for BNP's Egypt unit, implying a P/tNAV11 of 1.34-1.67x & P/E11 of 17-20x. We expect a negative effect on CET1 of 0.5-0.7%. We would expect a positive effect on EPS of 1.3-2.1% & an ROI of 6.5%. We are becoming slightly more cautious on KSA banks. We expect 8.7% y/y net earnings growth, a marked slowdown vs. 10.9%, however the first two months of the Q3 profits rose only 0.3%, suggesting room to underperform our Q3 12 forecasts.

Important Notice

1. Author, regulator and responsibility Arqaam Capital Limited (“Arqaam”) is incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”) and is authorised and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority ("DFSA") to carry on financial services in

and from the DIFC. Arqaam publishes and distributes (i.e. issues) all research.

Arqaam Capital Research Offshore s.a.l. is a specialist research centre in Beirut, Lebanon, which assists in the production of research issued by Arqaam.

2. Purpose This document is provided for informational purposes only. Nothing contained in this document constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice or guidance and should be disregarded when considering or making

investment decisions. In preparing this document, Arqaam did not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any particular person. Accordingly, before acting on this

document, investors should independently evaluate the investments and strategies referred to herein and make their own determination of whether it is appropriate in light of their own financial circumstances and

objectives.

3. Rating system

Arqaam investment research is based on the analysis of regional and country economics, industries and company fundamentals. Arqaam company research reflects a long-term (12-month) fair value target for a

company or stock. The ratings bands are:

Ratings

Buy Total return > 20%

Hold -10% < Total return < 20%

Sell Total return < -10%

In certain circumstances, ratings may differ from those implied by a fair value target using the criteria above. Arqaam policy is to maintain up-to-date fair value targets on the companies under its coverage, reflecting

any material changes to the analyst’s outlook on a company. Share price volatility may cause a stock to move outside the rating range implied by Arqaam’s fair value target. Analysts may not necessarily change their

ratings ifn this happens, but are expected to disclose the rationale behind their view to Arqaam clients.
