Our key assumptions include (1) 3.5% PGR, (2) 16.5% terminal EBITDA margin, (3) 1.5% terminalcapex/revenue, and (4) 9.6% WACC.

Key risks include execution tomigrate customers to cloud-based solutions on the infrastructure side of the business, and incrementally greater competition in applications againstenterprise software peers.Saudi AramcoOur SAR 31/sh PT is derived from the average of a DCF model and sum of the parts. Aside from commodity price volatility, key risks relate to KSA /OPEC imposed production levels, the KSA dominant shareholding position along with Aramco's importance in covering the KSA's budget, as well asthe risk of regional conflicts that could affect the company's operations.Saudi Telecom CompanyWe derive our SAR46.0 PT based on a 50-50 mix of a DCF-based SOTP and target 2025E DY of 4.5%. Our key assumptions include: (1) 2.0% PGR, (2)33.0% terminal EBITDA margin, (3) 15.0% terminal capex/revenue, (4) 8.9% WACC.

We use transaction values and our 2025E net debt estimate to calculate value of a minority interest in a new TowerCo. We usecurrent market price to calculate value of a minority interest in stc Kuwait and a 9.9% stake in Telefonica. We apply a 5% target discount related toM&A/execution risks.
