HEADLINES ONE-WEEK OUTLOOK
NWR The 1Q earnings season is drawing to an end. Moreover,
- 1Q11 results disappointing on all levels no big macroeconomic data are on the agenda this week.

markets and possible unexpected meetings regarding the
VIG
European debt crisis. S&P's cut in the rating outlook

Pegas Nonwovens particular at the beginning of the week.
- Projection of 1Q11 results
The domestic earnings season will continue on
Erste Group Thursday with the results of Pegas, Orco and AAA
- Shares traded ex-dividend Auto. We expect Pegas to announce a decline in EBITDA
- Bank wants to repay participation capital by end of 5.3% to EUR 8.4m, mainly owing to the price-setting
June mechanism (higher polymer prices will be reflected first in
CEZ costs and then in revenues). Investors will watch for a
- Stress tests on German nuclear power plants commentary on potential acquisitions. We believe the
numbers alone will be neutral but an indication of
KIT Digital
acquisitions could trigger some activity.
- New contract in China
This week will not be very rich in macroeconomic releases.
ECM A report of US durable goods orders will be released on
- 1Q11 results worse on all levels Wednesday (exp. -2.4% from +2.5%) and the 1Q GDP
- Company files its own insolvency petitions revision on Thursday (exp. to be revised up to 2.2% from

3.1bn Consumer Sentiment Index is due on Friday (expected
stagnation at 72.4 points). In Germany the Ifo Business
Climate Index on Tuesday and the 1Q11 GDP will be
followed.
2. EQUITY MARKET – PRAGUE STOCK EXCHANGE
MARKET NEWS
The week No. 20 was marked by volatile trading. The PX Index closed the week at 1,255 points, down 0.8%. Media
reports were all about commodities again, although the commodity markets got relatively stabilized. We must not forget the
arrest of IMF chief Strauss-Kahn, which could complicate things are regards the voting on another rescue package for
relevant European countries, favoured by Strauss-Kahn, and investors' perception of this development. Last but not least,
the IPO of LinkedIn is worth mentioning as its shares posted an increase of over 100% on their first trading day.
KIG Digital was the star of the week (+1.2%, CZK 207.5) on the PSE, still influenced by earnings results and positive
commentaries of the management on future consolidation. In addition, KITD got a large contract in China. By contrast,
ECM was the most declining stock (-11.1%, CZK 40.2). The insolvency proceeding against the company is in progress.
Further steps, taken with an aim to restructure the company, will probably continue to put pressure on the stock.

REPORTED EARNINGS RESULTS
NWR
The earnings results for 1Q11 reported last Wednesday fell short of market expectations on all levels and we expect a
negative market reaction. Only sales came in as expected by market. Since NWR had already published production
volumes and prices in April, the sales were not surprising. In year-on-year comparison, sales were up 17.1% y/y at EUR
384.8m, boosted by growing prices of coal and coke. The price of coking coal reached EUR 159/t in 1Q11 (+62.2% y/y)
and steam coal was sold at EUR 70/t (+11.0% y/y). The price of coke even surged by 74.6% to EUR 337/t. The negative
factor was the proportion of coking coal and steam coal volumes, when the company produced more steam coal at the
expenses of the coking coal, its main commodity.
Operating costs increased to EUR 335.4m (+10.8% y/y), less in comparison with our projection, as we had calculated with
higher personnel costs. Material and energy costs were up 11.1% y/y at EUR 99m, service expenses up 17.2% y/y at
EUR 90.9m and personnel costs increased by 3.5% y/y to EUR 96m.
EBITDA came in at EUR 81.6m (+42.3% y/y), falling short of market expectations of EUR 48.3m by 11.5% and almost in
line with our projection (+2.4%). EBIT of EUR 37.6m (+110% y/y) was below market expectations by 22.1%. We had
expected EBIT of 33.5m due to higher expected costs. The company generated net income of EUR 3.4m, after a loss of
EUR 15.6m in 1Q10, falling short of expectations of EUR 20.8m by 85.6%. We had expected EUR 7.9m. The notable
difference between the market consensus and the actual figure can be ascribed to the items described above. The
difference compared to our estimate is due to higher-than-expected tax.
The management repeated production and sales goals for 2011.

NWR held a conference call to discuss 1Q11 earnings results. The highlights are as follows:
NWR sees strong demand in the region and expects prices of coal to be at high levels in 3Q11.
The trend of lower volumes of coking coal should reverse in the second half of the year when the company
expects a rise in production volumes, in particular in the fourth quarter. The full-year production target of 11mt
3. EQUITY MARKET – PRAGUE STOCK EXCHANGE
coal (the same volumes of steam and coking coal) remains unchanged. In the subsequent year (2012) the
proportion should change to 60:40 in favour of the coking coal.
The Debiensko project in Poland is underway as expected. Mining should be launched in 2015/2016 (2.5mt), and
it is expected that most (80%) of the coal will be coking coal. More information about the project will be
announced in June.
After its reincorporation in Great Britain, NWR should be included in the FTSE index in June as expected.
As to potential acquisitions, NWR is monitoring mostly Polish and Ukrainian markets. The IPO of JSW, the
largest miner of coking coal in the EU, will be the nearest event.
The management also provided information about the outlook. It is confident that the goals for this year are achievable.
Nothing major was said.
VIG
Last Tuesday Vienna Insurance Group (VIG) published its consolidated earnings results for 1Q 2011, which are in
line with our expectations on all levels. Net profit reached EUR 109m, i.e. 7.8% y/y. Gross written premiums increased
by 2.9% to EUR 6,603m, mostly thanks to growth in the non-life insurance segment. Regarding earnings guidance the
company reiterated that this year it expects pre-tax profit to grow by 10% and written premiums to grow in the low single
digits. Overall, we rate the results as neutral. The company again confirmed the stability of its performance. We consider
the affirmed guidance for this year quite conservative and the company should not have any difficulty beating it.

EXPECTED EARNINGS RESULTS
Pegas Nonwovens
Manufacturer of nonwoven textiles Pegas Nonwovens will report 1Q11 results on Thursday 26 May.
Earnings will be significantly impacted by a major increase in polymer price indices. We expect the higher prices to be
reflected in operating expenses at once while the prices of final production should lag behind. Given the firming of the
koruna against the euro we expect a profit on the financial level.
Total sales should be up 19.2% at EUR 41m compared to the same period a year ago. Sales volumes should stay about
the same but we expect increased product prices.
Operating expenses will be affected by higher prices of polymers, the key raw material used by the company. Their price
grew by about 14% in 1Q11. EBITDA should show a decline of 5.3% y/y to EUR 8.4m. Depreciation charges should be
down in comparison with previous quarters (approx. EUR 4m) at EUR 2.5m as Pegas extended the life-span of
manufacturing assets effective from 1 January 2011, thus reducing depreciation and amortisation costs. That should
boost EBIT, which we expect at EUR 5.9m (+23.3% y/y).
Financial items should have a positive impact on the final result, mainly thanks to the FX effect. Thanks to the
appreciation of the koruna against the euro we expect a gain from the revaluation of the euro-denominated debt (EUR
2.5m). Debt service costs should reach EUR 0.9m. The company is projected to post net income of EUR 6.7m in 1Q11.
The 12.0% y/y decline is due to a considerable increase in currency gains in 1Q10.
Besides the earnings figures, investors will be interested in information about a potential acquisition. The management
is expected to cast more light on that during 2Q11 and it could do so at the time of the earnings release.
The target for full-year EBITDA of 2 – 7% should be confirmed.

COMPANY NEWS
NWR
NWR announced that another 2,769,054 shares accepted the share offer. The total rate of acceptance is 259,549,442
of existing A shares, i.e. more than 98% of the A shares issued. Trading in the new shares commenced last Friday (20
May) in London and Prague and today (23 May) in Warsaw. Note that the offer is related to reincorporation to UK and the
subsequent qualification for the FTSE index. We consider the news neutral.
Erste Group
Erste Group's shares went ex-dividend last Tuesday (EUR 0.7 per share; gross div. yield of 2%).
According to Andreas Treichel (CEO of Erste Group), the bank is aiming to repay EUR 1.2bn in state participation
capital by the end of June. In our view, this step should not significantly compromise the bank’s capitalization. However,
given the fact that Erste has had lower capital adequacy than most competitors in the region, the step may slightly
increase market fears from a future capital increase due to Basel III requirements.
CEZ
German environment minister Norbert Roettgen presented a report on the safety of nuclear power plants. Politicians will
base their decision regarding the future of nuclear energy in Germany on this report and the decision should be
made on 6 June. According to the document, Germany needs to improve security at its nuclear plants against external
flooding and airplane crash. The results of stress tests performed on reactors that had been switched off (8 out of 17)
were less favourable than in the case of newer reactors. According to the minister, the results do not give grounds for an
immediate exit from nuclear industry. In our opinion, market has already priced in that the switched-off reactors will not be
restarted. The question whether Germany will fully exit atomic energy by 2022 as announced remains open.
KIT Digital
The company announced that it had signed a contract with a consortium of Chinese televisions to provide a platform
for distributing video content. More details or the size of the transaction were not released. However, we assume that the
contract is quite large enabling the company to penetrate more the Chinese market.
ECM
ECM REI filed its own bankruptcy petition, according to the company's statement. This comes after the insolvency
petitions filed by Ceska sporitelna and Volksbank on grounds of unpaid obligations of ECM were joined by Glancus
Investments and Conseq. ECM said that reorganization through insolvency proceedings would speed up some
transactions and negotiations with creditors. This step is one of the possibilities presented with the release of 2010
results. Please note that trading in shares of a company in insolvency proceedings may be suspended or terminated by
the Prague Stock Exchange.
ECM REI published 1Q11 earnings results last Wednesday before market close. In comparison with 1Q10, the results
further deteriorated on all levels. The operating loss deepened from EUR 2m to EUR 7.1m and the net loss more than
doubled from EUR -6m to EUR -12.4m. The value of assets further declined compared to the end of 2010 while
obligations of the company rose, and therefore the equity value further fell from EUR -73m to EUR -85m. No commentary
on the ongoing insolvency proceedings was given. We consider the results negative.

Astin Capital Management filed a claim totalling CZK 3.1bn against ECM on Friday. ECM was to pay Astin Capital
Management interest of CZK 116m last October and the principal became due last week. Other creditors include Ceska
sporitelna (CZK 194m), Glancus Investments (CZK 140.8m) and Volksbank (CZK 104.8m). ECM wants to resolve its
indebtedness by restructuring. Last week, ECM joined other creditors and filed an insolvency petition against itself.

MARKET COMMENT
In the third week of May trading activity in VUB picked up. The shares found support at EUR 80 and most trades were
executed well above it. After climbing to EUR 85 on
SAX Index
Thursday the stock closed the week at EUR 81, i.e. up 255
1.25% w/w. At that price, the P/E multiple is 7, which is 250
quite attractive.
245
TMR added 0.7% last week, closing at EUR 40.30. BHP
gained 0.2% to EUR 11.18. After a recent decline, 240
Slovnaft's shares are still seeking a new market price and
235
no trade was executed last week. Biotika grew by 10% to
EUR 18.90. 230
The SAX Index closed the week at 230.59 points, flat 225
week-on-week. Traded volumes reached EUR 930

8. FOREX
CZK/EUR USD Koruna EUR
16.0 23.7
The koruna continued weakening against the euro last
week, moving from 24.4 to a 6-week low of 24.51 on Friday. 16.2
Other regional currencies more or less stagnated, not 24.0
16.4
responding to the released macroeconomic data (PPI, current
account). The increased nervousness on financial market was 16.6
probably the decisive factor. 24.3
16.8
We still expect rather calm and stable trading, and the
koruna could weaken further in the short term (24.6). By the 17.0
24.6
end of the summer the koruna could get stabilized around 17.2 USD
24.2-24.6. The long-term outlook remains unchanged and we EUR
expect to see the Czech currency firm to 23.8 by the end of 17.4 24.9
22/04 29/04 6/05 13/05 20/05
the year.
CZK/USD
The koruna was hovering around 17.20 per USD all week. It stopped weakening in connection with only a minimum
change in CZK/EUR and stabilization on the euro-dollar market.
Higher volatility will probably continue and the dollar could continue correcting its losses (17.80?). In the long term
(months) rather than a clear trend we expect to see higher volatility within CZK 16-20 per USD.
USD/EUR
The euro went through certain consolidation after the previous depreciation and moved from 1.410 to 1.434. However,
at the end of the week nervousness returned to financial markets, fuelled by another cut in Greece's rating by Fitch and a
cut in a rating outlook for Italy by S&P. Euro weakened to 1,415, erasing previous weekly gains.
The continuing technical correction and renewed risk regarding the eurozone debt crisis may continue to put pressure
on the euro. The next important level will be 1.38. Data from German economy due on Tuesday (GDP structure, Ifo index)
may be important.
