As such, the c25% drop in Ag tyres that we see in trade data equatesto €215-250m of lost EBIT from the Ag end market alone.Questioning the catalyst for Conti to Hold.Another common area for discussion has beenaround what the catalyst for Conti moving to Hold is, with upcoming CMDs & the actual spin-offstill to come. Whilst this is true, we see limited scope for medium-term targets to be upgradedat the CMD (current mid-term margin targets are 13-16% for Tyres, 6-8% for Automotive, &9-11% for ContiTech). The implied Autos/ContiTech valuations are now c6x EBIT vs 6.8x EBITfor peers (Valeo/Forvia) and c1x EBIT previously. This implies that for the shares to continueto re-rate, Continental & the Automotive business would need to be on a premium to Michelin& Valeo/Forvia, respectively. This is certainly possible, as discussed previously — A ProperComparison | Conti RemainCo vs Michelin | RemainCo €55 + Autos €27.Figure 2 - Conti: Implied ex tyres EV/EBIT multiple and Auto's comp multipleComps used are Forvia/Valeo.0.01.02.03.04.05.06.07.08.09.0Apr-24Jun-24Tires EV/EBITSource: Jefferies, FactsetPlease see important disclosure information on pages 3 - 8 of this report.This report is intended for Jefferies clients only.
