Solid performance for Yandex.Taxi, Uber IPO likely to be a positive catalyst
Yandex.Taxi has made impressive progress over the past two years. Its popularity continues to grow, it is far ahead of peers in terms of usage and top-line growth has been impressive post the consolidation of Uber Russia. More importantly, the business managed to significantly reduce losses over the past year, with ride-sharing turning profitable in 3Q18 (with negative c. RUB700mn EBITDA due to investments in food delivery).
The solid results suggest we were clearly too negative in the past, and we now think
Yandex.Taxi is well positioned to maintain its leadership and realise value longer term.
That said, we note that:
1.Competition is unlikely to disappear in the medium term, with Citimobil, Rutaxi and some other players continuing to invest. Even in the much more mature US market, Uber has been losing share to Lyft over the past few years (Uber’s share fell from c.85% in early-2016 to c.70% currently);
2.Given that there are, as far as we know, no other profitable online taxi businesses yet at the country level (except Gett in Israel), forecasting risk remains high, with very little visibility on what a sustainable level of long-term profitability might be. We assume a 30% long-term EBITDA margin, reflecting the forecasting risk in our WACC (13.5% for Yandex.Taxi vs 11.0% for the core business) and arrive at a $2.7bn valuation for 100%, which is materially below most other sell-side estimates.

Uber IPO likely in 2019, with potential valuation implying a c. $3.7-6.4bn value for Yandex.Taxi
According to press reports, Uber plans an IPO in 2019, with a potential valuation of up to $120bn. While such a significant increase vs the last private round valuation of c. $70bn seems aggressive, a valuation of somewhere between $70bn and $120bn should be possible, which is equivalent to c. 1.5-2.5x GMV (LTM), on our estimates. Applying the same GMV multiple range to Yandex.Taxi’s 2018 GMV (which we estimate at $2.5bn) implies a c. $3.7-6.4bn valuation for 100% of the company. Despite our relatively cautious view on Yandex.Taxi, we believe the run-up to Uber’s IPO is likely to be supportive for Y.Taxi’s valuation and Yandex’s share price.

Russia’s e-commerce market still highly fragmented; Beru gaining traction
Greater investment likely to accelerate market growth and consolidation
As discussed earlier, the Russian e-commerce market has been growing fast (Figure 33) but with penetration still low (c. 5%) we see significant scope for strong growth. At the same time, the market is highly fragmented (vs the more mature US or China markets where the top two players account for the bulk of sales) and likely to go through a material consolidation in the medium term. The relatively recent Yandex/Sberbank (which launched its Beru marketplace in 2H18) and Mail/Alibaba deals are likely to lead to faster consolidation, we believe, as their investments should, on the one hand, be positive for overall user adoption and market growth, and on the other increase competitive pressure on small players that do not have the same access to capital. In our view, among pure online generalist e-commerce platforms, the best positioned to secure long-term leadership are AliExpress, Beru and Ozon.

We think the market is still quite early-stage, and current scale or product advantages do not guarantee a strong market position longer term. Nevertheless, comparing the platforms, we would make the following points:
▪There is no outright price leader. On our observation, prices do not differ significantly on Beru and Ozon, and delivery is free for high-value items on both platforms (as well as on AliExpress). That said, both Beru and Ozon are currently active in promo and we believe are, on average, cheaper than, for example, M.Video.
▪Ozon’s logistics infrastructure is its key competitive advantage. Ozon has been operating in the Russian e-commerce market for over 20 years and as a result has the most developed logistics infrastructure, operating eight fulfillment centres / warehouses with total space of c.80k m2 and over 5k pick-up points (including partners’). This allows Ozon to offer faster delivery vs competitors, an important advantage right now, in our view. However, despite being the largest among peers, its current infrastructure is relatively small and with high investment could be replicated quickly. For example, Ozon added around 40k m2 of warehousing space just during 2018 and plans to add another 120k m2 in 2019, with a five-year target of up to 1mn, according to the company.

▪AliExpress’ key differentiator is assortment; Beru has room to improve. In our view, AliExpress does not directly compete with Beru and Ozon due to its different focus. Given its long delivery time and relatively unattractive prices for A- brands, it is not competitive on high-ticket items, in our view. However, AliExpress accounts for a substantial share of Russia’s cross-border e-commerce market, as it offers a vast choice of cheap products from Chinese merchants, in particular in the consumer electronics, accessories and clothes categories. That said, Alibaba is now also developing its Tmall platform in Russia, which is more similar to Beru and Ozon, although it is currently early stage.
In terms of assortment, Beru has a narrower choice vs its direct peers, and does not offer, for example, large consumer appliances. We understand, however, that it is still early days for the platform.
▪Traffic and strong financial positions are Yandex’s and Mail’s clear competitive advantages. Given the relatively early stage of the market’s development, an ability to invest material amounts of dollars into product, infrastructure and marketing are likely to be more important in the medium term than the current stage of development vs peers. In this regard, Beru and AliExpress, which received (should receive upon the deal closure in case of AliExpress) significant cash injections and are backed by shareholders with strong financial positions, have clear advantages, although Ozon can continue to raise funds. Moreover, large traffic generated by Yandex’s and Mail’s other internet properties should also help, to gain traction for their e-commerce divisions. This is illustrated by Beru which has achieved material usage in less than six months post launch and Pandao which became sufficiently popular over the course of 2018 to reach a deal with Alibaba.
▪M.Video and Detsky Mir are also well positioned in their segments. We believe strong offline retailers with online platforms, such as M.Video (HOLD, TP RUB435, CP RUB402) and Detsky Mir (BUY, TP RUB117, CP RUB923) are also quite well positioned in their respective segments. Both have strong brands, generate positive free cash flow, own established supply chains and also have a large offline presence, with stores active as pick-up points, which is a very popular way to purchase online in Russia. M.Video’s online platform is currently one of the largest in the country by sales.

Financials and valuation
Our Yandex TP is derived using a DCF methodology, with an 11% WACC (13.5% for Yandex.Taxi) and a 3% terminal growth rate. Upside risks to our forecasts include: faster- than-expected ad market dynamics and higher-than-expected search market share gains; greater-than-anticipated monetisation of the core search business; higher-than-assumed long-term earnings of Yandex.Taxi as well as lower-than-expected SG&A cost inflation; and material rouble appreciation vs the dollar. Key downside risks include: deterioration of the macro and advertising market environment in Russia; tougher competition from Google; stronger competition and lower long-term returns in the online taxi segment; higher-than-expected cost inflation and material rouble depreciation vs the dollar.

Each research analyst hereby certifies that with respect to the Issuer and such securities and markets, this document has been produced independently of the Issuer and all the views expressed in this document accurately reflect his or her personal views about the Issuer and any and all of such securities and markets. Each research analyst and/or persons connected with any research analyst may have interacted with sales and trading personnel, or similar, for the purpose of gathering, synthesizing and interpreting market information. If the date of this report is not current, the views and contents may not reflect the research analysts’ current thinking.
Each research analyst also certifies that no part of his or her compensation was, or will be, directly or indirectly related to the specific ratings, forecasts, estimates, opinions or views in this research report.

Investment ratings
Investment ratings may be determined by the following standard ranges: Buy (expected total return of 15% or more); Hold (expected total return of 0-15%); and Sell (expected negative total return). Standard ranges do not always apply to emerging markets securities and ratings may be assigned on the basis of the research analyst’s knowledge of the securities.
Investment ratings are a function of the research analyst’s expectation of total return on equity (forecast price appreciation and dividend yield within the next 12 months, unless stated otherwise in the report). Investment ratings are determined at the time of initiation of coverage of an issuer of equity securities or a change in target price of any of the issuer’s equity securities. At other times, the expected total returns may fall outside of the range used at the time of setting a rating because of price movement and/or volatility. Such interim deviations will be permitted but will be subject to review by Renaissance Capital’s Research Management.
Where the relevant issuer has a significant material event with further information pending or to be announced, it may be necessary to temporarily place the investment rating Under Review. This does not revise the previously published rating, but indicates that the analyst is actively reviewing the investment rating or waiting for sufficient information to re-evaluate the analyst’s expectation of total return on equity.
Where coverage of the relevant issuer is due to be maintained by a new analyst, on a temporary basis the relevant issuer will be rated as Coverage in Transition. Previously published investment ratings should not be relied upon as they may not reflect the new analysts’ current expectations of total return. While rated as Coverage in Transition, Renaissance Capital may not always be able to keep you informed of events or provide background information relating to the issuer.
If issuing of research is restricted due to legal, regulatory or contractual obligations publishing investment ratings will be Restricted. Previously published investment ratings should not be relied upon as they may no longer reflect the analysts’ current expectations of total return. While restricted, the analyst may not always be able to keep you informed of events or provide background information relating to the issuer.
Where Renaissance Capital has neither reviewed nor revised its investment ratings on the relevant issuer for a period of 180 calendar days, coverage shall be discontinued.
Where Renaissance Capital has not provided coverage of an issuer for a period of 365 calendar days, coverage shall be discontinued.
Where Renaissance Capital has not expressed a commitment to provide continuous coverage and/or an expectation of total return, to keep you informed, analysts may prepare reports covering significant events or background information without an investment rating (Not Covered).
Your decision to buy or sell a security should be based upon your personal investment objectives and should be made only after evaluating the security’s expected performance and risk.
Renaissance Capital reserves the right to update or amend its investment ratings in any way and at any time it determines.
