CITI'S TAKE Neutral

Price (07 Jul 26 08:24) £50.45 The formal part of CCH’s Bitesize Event in Egypt has just concluded. Egypt

Target price £50.25 represents 11% of group volumes and is the group’s #3 market. The

business has faced significant macro/geopolitical headwinds since Expected share price return -0.4%

acquisition in 2022, but the presentations clearly showcased the Expected dividend yield 2.6%

impressive transformation and more recent acceleration in share/top-line Expected total return 2.2%

growth CCH has been delivering. More importantly, many of the Market Cap £18,387M

learnings/best practices deployed in Egypt have relevance for the soon to US$24,333M

be consolidated CCBA acquisition. As such, this event should further

reinforce investor confidence in CCH's ability to deliver strong growth in

Africa overtime. Nevertheless, although we continue to applaud CCH
