Chile Company News CCU and Postobon begin formation of executive team and design for new plant in Colombia (CCU: UNDERPERFORM; T.P.: CLP 6,530) CCU and Postobon have begun the process of formation of the executive team for their new joint venture, Central Cervecera de Colombia (CCC). This new team is formed by Colombian executives, as well as executives from CCU and Heineken. The presidency of CCC was assumed by Mauricio Medina Yepes, former executive of Colcafe. Alberto Schiappacasse Dasati, former engineering executive in CCU, was assigned to the area of project development. Vicente Rosselot, who was the former executive for Planning and Finance in Eccusa (nonalcoholic drinks subsidiary of CCU) was assigned to CFO. Finally, Philippe Saintigny assumed the new commercial executive position, coming from Heineken International. Also, the association began the design and planning of the new beer plant, advised by Heineken. The new plant will be built in Sesquile, north of Bogota, and will have a capacity of 3mn HL (operational by 2H17). The construction will provide between 1,000 and 1,800 new jobs. CCU stated that the basic engineering for the project is already defined and while will develop the budget for the new equipment, before putting on a tender for the construction of the new plant. Colombia Economics and Politics Imports increased by 11.2% y/y in Dec-14. Trade balance deficit stood at USD 6.3 bn in 2014 According to DANE, Colombia’s external purchases grew by 11.2% y/y during Dec-14 (from USD 4.9 bn in Dec-13 to USD 5.4 bn). This behavior was mainly explained by an expansion of the purchases of manufacturing goods (7.8% y/y), “fuels and extractive industries” (37.7%) and “agricultural products, food and beverages” (9.1%). Thus, during 2014, overall exports grew by 7.8% y/y (from USD 59.3 bn to USD 64 bn). With this result, in addition to the exports’ drop in Dec-14 (-28.5% y/y), 2014’s trade balance’s deficit stood at USD 6.2 bn. This was Colombia’s first trade deficit since 2008. This large deficit was mostly explained by the Cartagena’s refinery expansion process, which caused a relevant deterioration of the refined oil products component. 2 BanRep will held its monetary policy meeting today The market expectation (and ours) is for the repo rate to remain unaltered at 4.50%, amid increased uncertainty over the local economic activity but an upward trend in inflation. In the last meeting’s minutes, a member of the board stated its expectation of the economic activity to grow between 3.0% and 3.5% during 2015, well below market and government’s expectations (3.74% and 4.2%, respectively). There is no consensus regarding the sustainability of natural gas in Colombia According to The Colombian Petroleum Association (ACP) the natural gas sector could face a shortages if Colombia does not develop the necessary E&P investments in the sector. On the other hand, according to the Natural Gas Colombian Association (Naturgas), the natural gas supply in Colombia is guaranteed for coming years. According to Naturgas, the country has been stressed by the increase in natural gas demand from thermal power generators due to the drought experienced by the country last year, and the expectation for the arrival of El Niño phenomenon. However, according to the association, this should be a temporal disruption and the sector would be prepared to meet the demand in the short term. On the other hand, the ACP argues more structural supply-demand problems and alerts that Colombia could lose its self-sustainability in 2018, leading to imports of LNG. According to Francisco Lloreda, director of the ACP, the imports of natural gas in Colombia could increase the cost of the natural gas as the current local production price is ~USD 3-5 MMBTU, while the price of LNG imports in South America is ~USD 11 MMBTU. Company News The BoD of Celsia announced dividend proposal of COP 120. On the other hand, Juan Guillermo Londoño announced his resignation as CEO of the Company (CELSIA: HOLD; T.P.: COP 7,020) The BoD of Celsia proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting that will take place on March 24th, 2015, a dividend distribution of COP 120/share, equivalent to a dividend yield of 2.3% at current prices, which is entirely in line with our dividend estimate for 2015. On the other hand, Juan Guillermo Londoño announced his resignation as CEO of Celsia, after 9 years leading the company, due to retirement. Londoño will remain in office until the arrival of his relief, which is expected for Jun 2015. EEB announced the resignation of Claudia Castellanos to the BoD of the company (EEB: BUY; T.P.: COP 1,930) EEB announced the resignation of Claudia Castellanos, current VP of supply and marketing of Ecopetrol, to the BoD of EEB. This is not surprising considering that Ecopetrol is currently advancing on the sale process of its stake in EEB (6.9% stake; USD 450 mn at the sale price defined by Ecopetrol of COP 1,740/share). 3 Celsia: Disappointing 4Q14 results well below our estimates (CELSIA: HOLD; T.P.: COP 7,020) Celsia Y/Y A/E (%) (%) 4Q14A 4Q13A 4Q14E Rev enues 660,548 626,923 782,788 5.4% EBITDA 151,966 213,280 276,308 -28.7% -758 168,285 155,396 -100.5% -100.5% P/BV -1 234 EBITDA Mg. 23.0% 34.0% 35.3% Net Mg. -0.1% 26.8% 19.9% (COP mn) Net income EPS Celsia LTM 2014E 21.7x 16.2x -45.0% EV/EBITDA 9.2x 9.4x -15.6% P/E 216 -100.5% -100.5% Div . Yield 1.1x 1.0x 2.2% 2.3% Celsia posted 4Q14 financial results with disappointing figures in all lines of the income statement. We expected higher figures boosted by: 1) a good power generation (4Q14 Celsia's power generation of 1,711 GWh in line with our estimates), 2) still high spot prices (4Q14 average spot price of COP 183 kWh), and 3) the beginning of the consolidation of acquired assets in Central America. However, Celsia was below our estimates in wholesaler power sales (-23.6%) and retail power sales (-4.6%). On the other hand, Celsia posted the lower quarterly margin EBITDA of its recent history; EBITDA margin stood at 23% compared with 34% in 3Q13 and our estimate of 35.3%. The cost of sales during grew 17.7% y/y, while administrative expenses grew 11.0% y/y. Finally, a higher financial expense explained by the higher indebtedness to acquire the Central American assets, along with high taxes (effective tax rate of 57% in 4Q14) led net income to negative ground. We are waiting for more information to be provided in the 4Q14 financial results conference that will take place today at 7:30 am (Bogotá time). ISA was awarded a new transmission project in Colombia (ISA: UNDERPERFORM; T.P.: COP 8,910) The Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME) awarded to ISA the project to design, acquire supplies, build, operate and carry out maintenance of the 500-kV Ituango and Medellin substations, and associated transmission lines with an approximate length of 530 km. The project, which should be in operation by August 31st, 2018, will allow the connection of the Ituango generation project with the SIN. The project will generate annual revenues to ISA of USD 42.42 million (December 2014 dollars), which represents near to 3% of the total revenues of the company. The news is positive for the company as ISA continues increasing its project portfolio in the Colombian power transmission system. 4 Nutresa closed the acquisition of El Corral (NUTRESA: BUY; T.P.: COP 32,000) Nutresa announced yesterday that it has closed the acquisition of El Corral. The total amount paid for the equity value was COP 743 bn and the operation will be funded with COP 58.4bn in cash and a credit line of COP 685bn, in line with our expectations. The enterprise value of the transaction was COP 830bn and due to the equity payment, El Corral keeps its debt of COP 86.5 bn. We see this announcement as positive as there were no major delays on the process. On the other hand, the numbers of El Corral are not public yet so we expect the company to provide further information in the 4Q14 conference call results that will be hosted next week. BVC 4Q14 results; revenues and EBITDA in line with our estimates, while net income disappointed (BVC: HOLD; T.P.: COP 24.2) BVC 4Q14A 4Q13A 4Q14E Y/Y (%) A/E (%) BVC 2015E Rev enues 21,230 23,818 20,137 -10.9% 5.4% P/E 13.4x EBITDA 7,559 6,693 7,474 12.9% 1.1% EV/EBITDA 8.3x Net Income 4,715 5,879 6,815 -19.8% -30.8% P/BV 3.2x Div . Yield 4.8% EBITDA Mg. 35.6% 28.1% 37.1% Net Mg. 22.2% 24.7% 33.8% (COP mn) Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (the local stock exchange) reported financials for 4Q14 and full year 2014. Revenues and EBITDA for 4Q14 were in line with our estimates as we did not expect any major surprises in the operating front. Meanwhile, net income was 30% below our estimate; here, we will provide more information once the company releases the full financial statements and conducts its quarterly conference call. Although operating revenues for full year 2014 grew 2% y/y, we highlight that revenues from trading fell 9% y/y, led by equities, which decreased 14%, compared to 2013. As we mentioned in previous reports trading volumes continue to disappoint and so far in 2015 this has not improved. On the positive side, BVC was able to achieve a 40% EBITDA margin during 2014 relative to 37% in 2013. Overall, we consider the results as neutral but we will provide further insight once we obtain the full financial statements. Finally, we continue to fear that the main growth drivers for the company (volumes and equity offerings) do not provide neither clear visibility nor major upside for 2015 which is worrisome, in our view. 5 Peru Economics and Politics In June, regional governments could be affected by canon’s reduction According to Eduardo Ballón, technical secretary of the regional government assembly, local and regional governments that have already started their projects could be affected by a reduction in the canon, a situation that will limit the available resources needed for their continuity. The initial national budget considers the following assumptions: a GDP growth of 6%, an oil price of USD99 per barrel and an exchange rate of PEN 2.9. Besides this, regions and municipalities have already used part of their canon resources for the implementation of public investment projects; however, transfers to these entities will take place in June. The commercial sector is expected to grow more in Peru than in Chile and Brazil According to Cesar Peñaranda, Executive Director of the Lima Commerce Chamber, the commercial sector is expected to grow 4.9% and 5.5% in 2015 and 2016, respectively, and should outpace the growth in Brazil, Mexico, and Chile. This growth should be driven by a recovery in private consumption. Mr. Peñaranda also noted that the country reached a total of 90 shopping centers by end of 2015. Lots for oil exploration expected to be awarded in 2015 Oscar Miro Quesada, Marketing Manager of Perupetro, ruled out the suspension of the bidding process for the first package of 7 lots in Peru’s rainforest due to the fall in oil prices. Mr. Miro also noted that there are fifteen companies interested in participating, but it is expected that these will submit their official intent letters. The deadline expires in May and the award is scheduled for August. 6 Trading Information Traded Volume Country Vol. (USDmn) Best sector Worst Sector Chile 67.1 Commodities / +0.34% Industrial / -0.19% Colombia 25.0 - - Peru 7.8 Agribusiness / +4.65% Industrial / -1.10% Volume Leaders Chile USD Th.

Distribution of Ratings Rating N° of Companies covered with this Companies covered with this rating rating (% ) Buy 35 42% Hold 37 45% Underperform 9 11% Under Review / Restricted 2 2% Total 83 100% 10 F.Price Target Unless otherwise stated in the text of this report, target prices in this report are based on either a discounted cash flow valuation or comparison of valuation ratios with companies seen by the analyst as comparable or a combination of the two methods. The result of this fundamental valuation is adjusted to reflect the analyst’s views on the likely course of investor sentiment. Whichever valuation method is used there is a significant risk that the target price will not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Risk factors include unforeseen changes in competitive pressures or in the level of demand for the company’s products. Such demand variations may result from changes in technology, in the overall level of economic activity or, in some cases, in fashion. Valuations may also be affected by changes in taxation, in exchange rates and, in certain industries, in regulations. Investment in overseas markets and instruments such as ADRs can result in increased risk from factors such as exchange rates, exchange controls, taxation, and political and social conditions.
