Background Information:
Recommendation structure
Swedbank Markets’ recommendation structure consists of six recommendations: Buy, Accumulate, Hold, Reduce, Sell and Avoid. The
recommendations are based on an absolute return for the security 12 months forward. The absolute return includes share price appreciation
and dividend yield combined.
The recommendations for the securities mentioned in this report are based on risk and return considerations. The higher the risk category of
the investment, the higher the required return. For equity investments, returns are defined as capital appreciation and dividends received over
the investment horizon of 12 months forward. The expected capital appreciation is the ratio of a stock’s target price over the current price. A
company risk rating depends on its stock price volatility, liquidity and business outlook. The target price depends on a company’s
fundamentals as well as the market valuation of peer stocks, and can be changed at any time if the relevant changes occur within a
company/market perception of the peer group. “Buy”, “accumulate”, “hold”, “reduce”, “sell” and “avoid” recommendations may be used in this
report. The table below presents the relationship between recommendations and target prices compared to risk level of the stock. These are
indicative ranges and actual recommendations may deviate from the indications if other relevant issues are considered. For more detailed
information about the recommendation system please visit http://www.swedbank.ee/disclaimers/recommendation2007.pdf

Recommendation structure

Buy > +20% to target price


Accumulate +10% < target price < +20%
Hold 0% < target price < +10%
Reduce -10% < target price < 0%
Sell < -10% to target price
Avoid used when security does not match the standards presented in SWB’s investment guidelines

The recommendation by Swedbank Markets Equity Research department is based on a variety of standard valuation models. However, the
base for the calculation of the target price is our DCF model (DCF = discounted cash flow) with the exception of financial and investment
companies. The DCF model discounts future cash flow at present value.
In preparation of this report different valuation methods have been used, including, but not limited to, discounted free cash-flow and
comparative analysis. The selection of methods depends on the industry, the company, the nature of the stock and other circumstances.
The target price (previous fair value) takes into account the DCF value, the relative valuation of the share versus others peers (national or
international) and news that can have a positive or negative effect on the share price. Relative and absolute multiples that we consider are:
EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, PE, PEG and Net Asset models for companies with liquid markets for their assets and other industry specific ratios
when available. Break-up valuation models are also sometimes considered.
