Cash Offer for DP Eurasia N.V by Jubilant Foodworks

Response to DP Eurasia statement

On 28 November 2023, Jubilant Foodworks Netherlands B.V. ("Jubilant Foodworks"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jubilant Foodworks Limited, announced its intention to make an offer for the entire issued and outstanding ordinary share capital of DP Eurasia N.V. ("DP Eurasia") not already owned by Jubilant Foodworks (the "Offer") at 85 pence per DP Eurasia Share (the "Original Offer Price") (the "Offer Announcement").

On 19 December 2023, Jubilant Foodworks announced an increase to the Original Offer Price to 95 pence per DP Eurasia Share (the "Offer Price") and the publication of the offer document setting out the terms of the Offer (the "Offer Document").

Jubilant Foodworks notes the announcement made on 19 December 2023 by DP Eurasia that it is not recommending the Offer.

Jubilant Foodworks disagrees with DP Eurasia's assessment of the Offer as being significantly below fair value and not reflecting the company's prospects. Rather, Jubilant Foodworks believes the Offer presents an immediate and certain enhanced return event to all shareholders of DP Eurasia at a fair price based on historic share price performance, DP Eurasia share liquidity, a peer group of comparable quick service restaurant companies, the wider macroeconomic environment and intensifying competition in Turkey. Further detail of each of these factors and the reasons why Jubilant Foodworks considers the Offer to represent a fair price are included below.

Jubilant Foodworks notes that DP Eurasia's announcement was released prior to the Offer Document becoming available on Jubilant Foodworks' website on 19 December 2023. Certain statements made in DP Eurasia's announcement therefore appear to have been made without having first reviewed the Offer Document and are in some cases incomplete and may be confusing to shareholders. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to read the Offer Document in full (which is available from Jubilant Foodworks' website at https://www.jubilantfoodworks.com/) including the full terms of the Offer set out in Part II of the Offer Document and in particular paragraph 3 in Section A of Part II. Jubilant Foodworks has suggested to DP Eurasia through its advisers that they clarify any misleading statements by way of a regulatory news service on the London Stock Exchange.

Separately, Jubilant Foodworks also wishes to make reference to DP Eurasia's statement in its announcement that the company "suffers from extremely limited minority protection rights in takeover situations" due to it not being the subject of the UK's Takeover Code nor any EU takeover provisions. Jubilant Foodworks disagrees with DP Eurasia's suggestion that it has sought to exploit the absence of such regulation to its advantage and to the detriment of minority shareholders.

Shareholders are reminded that the Mandatory Bid Provisions in DP Eurasia's articles of association (which the Offer is being made in accordance with) were last year agreed with the then independent committee of the Board of DP Eurasia and were unanimously recommended by the then Directors of DP Eurasia to all shareholders that they vote in favour of their introduction. At the time, the relevant Directors referred to the provisions as providing shareholders with "substantially similar protections" to those provided under historic UK and Dutch takeover regulation, as well as the then Chair of DP Eurasia referring to them providing "satisfactory safeguards to minority investors". Jubilant Foodworks supported the amendments to the articles of association when they were introduced, to the detriment of its own ability to increase its shareholding, as it takes minority investor rights seriously.

Jubilant Foodworks wishes to make clear that it has and is following and complying with the very provisions (being the Mandatory Bid Provisions in DP Eurasia's articles of association) that were negotiated and agreed with the Independent Committee, were recommended by the then Directors of DP Eurasia, and approved by shareholders. Furthermore, such provisions were labelled by or on behalf of DP Eurasia as providing substantially similar protections under historic takeover regulation, as well as providing satisfactory safeguards to minority investors. Accordingly, Jubilant Foodworks disagrees with DP Eurasia's suggestion that it is acting to the detriment of minority shareholders when it is following and complying with the very provisions that were introduced by DP Eurasia to afford that protection and which were explicitly labelled by it as such.

Finally, Jubilant Foodworks also wishes to highlight that as an unconditional offer, settlement for those shareholders who accept the Offer will be effected within 14 calendar days of receipt of that acceptance, thereby providing such shareholders with an immediate and certain enhanced return event.

Valuation

DP Eurasia has stated that multiple valuation methodologies have been considered and triangulated with Liberum but has only highlighted one peer group multiple based valuation that Jubilant Foodworks considers inadequate.

Jubilant Foodworks acknowledges that certain Domino's Pizza franchisees, including itself, trade at high valuations. However, the Jubilant Foodworks Directors believe that the hyper-inflationary environment in Turkey makes comparisons with Domino's Pizza Group plc and Domino's Pizza Enterprises Limited whose businesses primarily operate in stable developed markets of limited value.

DP Eurasia has excluded from its limited analysis Dominos' Pizza franchisees trading at lower multiples, such as Alsea which has a similar 2023 consensus forecast EBITDA margin (19.8%) to DP Eurasia (19.0%) and operates corporate owned and franchised quick service restaurants in Mexico, a country with a 2022 GDP per capita of $11,091, very similar to Turkey at $10,616 (Macrotrends). Jubilant Foodworks believes a peer group of listed emerging markets quick service restaurant businesses is more representative of the value of DP Eurasia.

Source: Refinitiv Eikon

Jubilant Foodworks believes DP Eurasia's 2023 EBITDA forecast is flattered by the use of an average exchange rate. With a depreciating currency, the EBITDA is more accurately valued using the current spot rate. On this basis, at the Offer Price, DP Eurasia is valued at 8.1x its 2023 forecast EBITDA, ahead of comparable peers.

Furthermore, the average multiple DP Eurasia has traded at since 2021 on a NTM EV/EBITDA basis has been 7.3x. DP Eurasia has not traded at a valuation close to the DP Peer Group referenced by DP Eurasia (18.3x for CY23 EV/EBITDA and 15.1x for CY24 EV/EBITDA) over the last three years. Therefore, the average of the DP Peer Group referenced by DP Eurasia is at best an aspirational valuation and at worst an erroneous comparison.

Jubilant Foodworks reminds shareholders that DP Eurasia recommended that shareholders did not tender their shares in accordance with the terms of the reverse bookbuild at 95p per share in 2021 (the "RBB"). The DP Eurasia close price did not exceed the RBB price between closure of the RBB on 1 November 2021 and the Offer Announcement so shareholders who followed the DP Eurasia Board recommendation did not benefit from any incremental value. Those shareholders who did not tender their shares and subsequently sold may have suffered financial losses compared to shareholders who sold their shares in the reverse bookbuild.

Finally, Jubilant Foodworks recognises DP Eurasia is covered by only one broker meaning that the market consensus forecasts are driven by one party and, as such, it therefore views with caution such market consensus forecasts.

As mentioned above, Jubilant Foodworks believes the Offer presents an immediate and certain enhanced return event to all shareholders of DP Eurasia at a fair price and, in addition to the above, DP Eurasia shareholders should note the following factors concerning DP Eurasia's share liquidity, the wider macroeconomic environment and the intensifying competition in Turkey.

DP Eurasia's share liquidity:

DP Eurasia's shares are highly illiquid with an average daily volume of just 68,692 shares in the twelve months to 27 November 2023 (being the last practical date before the Offer Announcement) causing volatility in the share price and difficulties for shareholders who wished to sell a meaningful stake through the market. When a significant shareholder sold their 4.3% position in October 2022, Jubilant Foodworks believes they were the only buyer of size and enabled them to exit at the market price.

Jubilant Foodworks reminds shareholders that there is no requirement for it to make another offer for DP Eurasia in the future as the Offer will satisfy the one time obligation to make such an offer as is required by the Mandatory Bid Provisions under DP Eurasia's articles of association. Liquidity may be further reduced following the Offer exacerbating exit challenges for remaining shareholders.

Macroeconomic environment:

DP Eurasia's Turkish business has performed well and continues to deliver on the company's strategy with system sales growth of c.35% for Turkey Domino's Pizza and c.299% for COFFY in the ten months ended October 2023. However, hyperinflation causing depreciation in the value of the Turkish lira has consistently eroded DP Eurasia's pound sterling valuation. A highly inflationary environment in Turkey is expected to persist and further weaken the Turkish lira.

The Central Bank of Turkey increased its benchmark interest rate to 40% in November 2023. High interest rates increase the cost to DP Eurasia of servicing its TRY denominated debt, forecasted by DP Eurasia to be TRY 653 million (£17.8 million) at the end of 2023, and negatively impact the company's profitability.

Competition:

Low barriers to entry in the quick service restaurant industry are driving intensifying competition across the Turkish pizza market making it an increasingly challenging landscape to operate in. Aggressive marketing campaigns, digitalisation, dynamic and competitive pricing are being deployed by all market participants. As part of the Jubilant Foodworks group, DP Eurasia could benefit from Jubilant Foodworks' experience in operating in a highly competitive market.

Jubilant Foodworks has the operational expertise, as India's largest and most profitable food service company, and the investment required to assist DP Eurasia to remain competitive and grow its market share.

Terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the same meaning as set out in the Offer Document.
