Neutral
H.J. Heinz Co. HNZ, HNZ US
Price: $58.43
Tough to Fly When the Fog Is Thick ▲ Price Target: $58.00
Previous: $52.00

Following last week’s earnings, we maintain our Neutral rating on Heinz. We see Food Manufacturing and Retail
Heinz as a “true Neutral”, a stock that because of its dividend yield probably has AC

limited downside, but because of its higher multiple may have minimal upside too
(1-212) 622-0359
(at least in the near term). We are raising our target price to $58 from $52 merely [email protected]
to reflect the shift in our target price date to December 2013 from December 2012.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
Thus, though we are not negative on Heinz, we think over the next 12 months
investors are likely to find better total shareholder return in names such as Price Performance
Mondelēz (MDLZ), ConAgra (CAG), and Smucker (SJM), all Overweight rated. 64

And as HNZ CEO Bill Johnson suggested last week, there is a great deal of fog 60

facing the company at the moment. $ 56

 Near-term downside risk probably minimized by the dividend yield (for
48
now). Between the aging US population and lingering uncertainty on the Street Nov-11 Feb-12 May-12 Aug-12 Nov-12
about the market’s direction (as perhaps evidenced by the relative lack of HNZ share price ($)
S&P500 (rebased)
trading volume versus prior years), dividend-paying stocks should remain
YTD 1m 3m 12m
attractive to many investors, in our opinion. Thus, assuming that the tax rate Abs 8.1% 2.4% 5.3% 17.1%
does not rise dramatically, we believe dividends will continue to be an Rel -4.0% 2.7% 4.8% -4.2%

important determinant of food stock valuations. At 3.5%, Heinz has one of the
more attractive dividend yields in the group. Indeed, with over $1B in cash on
its balance sheet and still-solid cash flows, we are not certain why Heinz does
not raise its payout ratio by a greater degree. Perhaps the company is waiting for
the proverbial fiscal cliff issue to be resolved (in fact, Mr. Johnson reiterated last
week his belief that dividends are still the best way to give cash back to
shareholders).
 Near-term upside potential probably limited by the multiple. Heinz is
trading at a 15.4x multiple on FY14E EPS, near the middle of the pack among
consumer staple stocks. But this places it near companies like Coca-Cola (KO –
Overweight-rated, covered by J.P. Morgan Beverages analyst John Faucher).
The P/E also is above such names as J.M. Smucker (SJM – Overweight, which
we think has less uncertainty than HNZ right now), Kraft Foods Group (KRFT –
Neutral, which has a more attractive dividend yield and no overseas risk),
Mondelēz (MDLZ – Overweight, which has superior emerging markets
exposure than HNZ and in our view plays in better categories overall), and
ConAgra (CAG – Overweight, which is more challenged than HNZ in numerous
fundamental ways but recently has been growing EBITDA at a faster clip).

 We see little room for Heinz’s P/E multiple to expand, and we think that
the 10.5x EV/EBITDA multiple may actually be slightly inflated given the
lack of operating growth in recent years. Heinz has grown EBITDA by a
CAGR of 2.9% over the last 10 years. While we appreciate that comparing
FY03 to FY13E is not fully apples-to-apples, this growth is not enough, in
our view, to justify an EBITDA multiple over 10x.

 Tough to fly when the fog is thick. When asked last week about whether
he would add more to spending on marketing or other projects, Mr. Johnson
said he is “dealing with a world right now that [he] can’t figure out” thanks
to the fiscal cliff, Europe, currency, US consumer confidence, etc. We
appreciate his candor and do not disagree with his stance; indeed we think a
bit of prudence may be smart right now. But if the skies in front of HNZ are
so foggy at the moment, then perhaps investors should take a short-term
breather until they clear a bit. Keep in mind that HNZ has outperformed the
packaged food group and the SPX since the midpoint of 2012 (+7.4%
versus +3.6% and +3.4%, respectively), which is why despite the
company’s EBITDA growth issues the stock’s multiple has expanded.
 Adjusting estimates. We are boosting FY13E to $3.53 from $3.51 to
account for the 2Q beat. We are reducing FY14E to $3.77 from $3.82 as we
now model a bit less gross margin growth because of commodity inflation.
 Investment thesis. We are Neutral the HNZ shares. Though we respect the
company’s strategy to spend more on marketing and we like the emerging
markets exposure, we find better opportunities to capitalize on dividends
(KRFT) and emerging markets (MDLZ) elsewhere in our universe. We
think the stock will probably put forth a total shareholder return somewhere
in the middle of the pack of our coverage in CY13.
 Valuation. We employ a 50/50 P/E EV/EBITDA methodology when
valuing packaged food stocks. We believe that given the company’s
roughly industry-average growth over the last decade or so, the multiples
should trade roughly in-line with the current group averages of 16.0x P/E
and 9.5x EV/EBITDA on NTM estimates. Using P/E and our CY14E EPS
estimate of $3.96, we come to fair value as of Dec-13 of $63. Using
EV/EBITDA and our CY14E EBITDA estimate (plus income from non-
controlling interests) of $2.2B, we come to fair value as of Dec-13 of $54.
The average of these two figures is ~$58 and thus we establish a Dec-13
price target of $58, versus our previous Dec-12 target of $52.
 Risks to rating and price target. Upside: 1) Commodity costs could fall,
2) the US government may not raise the dividend tax rate by much, and 3)
marketing spending may improve sales by a greater degree than we model.
Downside: 1) Commodity costs could rise, 2) the US government may raise
the dividend tax rate by a large degree, and 3) marketing spending may
improve sales by a smaller amount than we model.

The chart(s) show J.P. Morgan's continuing coverage of the stocks; the current analysts may or may not have covered it over the entire
period.
J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated
Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is
compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear
in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research
website, www.morganmarkets.com.
