WHAT WE’RE TRACKING TODAY

THIS MORNING: Export-oriented manufacturers can have customs duties waived on input materials

Good morning, friends, and welcome to a brisk almost-THURSDAY issue. Leading the newswell this morning is Almoosa Health pricing its IPO at the top of its guidance range, implying a market cap of SAR 5.6 bn once it lists on the Tadawul.

^^ We have the details on this story and others below.

HAPPENING TODAY-

The two-day Impact Makers Forum (ImpaQ) is set to open its doors today, bringing together media influencers, industry experts, and digital content creators in Riyadh’s Mayadeen Hall.

ALSO- The two-day Forbes Middle East’s Women’s Summit gets underway in a few hours at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.

An all-star speakers lineup: Confirmed speakers include Princess Lamia Bint Majed Saud Al Saud, Princess Prof. Mashael Bint Mohammed Al Saud, Princess Doaa Bint Mohammed, and our friend Dalia Khorshid.

It’s the final day of the International Forum for Saudi Reef taking place at the Intercontinental Al Ahsa, covering sustainable agriculture, rural entrepreneurship, and technology in farming.

AND- It’s the penultimate day of the UN’s Internet Governance Forum in Riyadh.

Across the pond: It’s the second and final day of the last US Fed meeting this year. The Bank of England and the Bank of Japan will follow suit tomorrow.

Expect the Fed to sound a note of caution. The expectation since Donald Trump cruised to victory last month is now for fewer rate cuts over a longer period of time. A quarter-point today seems fairly likely (though less so than before US voters returned The Donald to office), but the swaps market is pricing in just 0.75 bps worth of cuts by next September, suggesting we could see as few as two 0.25 bps cuts next year. The FT has more on what to expect from the three meetings.


WEATHER- Bundle up in Riyadh today, where temperatures will peak at 19°C before plummeting to a crisp 6°C after sunset. Meanwhile, Jeddah will be basking in warmer temperatures at 32°C, tapering off to 23°C. Over in Madinah, expect cloudy skies with a high of 24°C by day and a low of 9°C.

PSAs-

#1- Manufacturers can now benefit from a waiver on customs duties for inputs they use in export-targeted products, according to a post on X from the Saudi Export Development Authority spokesperson.

The caveat: Companies looking to waive the duties must have a valid industrial license, and the inputs covered must be listed by the Industry and Mineral Resources Ministry. The company’s export performance for the last 12 months must also be reviewed before the waiver is granted.


#2- Companies are not permitted to send marketing material without the recipient's consent, which is a violation of Personal Data Protection Laws, the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence warned in a post on X. Recipients of unsolicited marketing material have the right to ask promoting companies to delete their personal data.

WATCH THIS SPACE-

#1- Some 91 agreements worth SAR 8.3 bn were signed at the Supply Chain and Logistics Conference in Riyadh, which concluded on Monday, according to state news agency SPA. The agreements aim to enhance the operations and efficiency of supply chains in the Kingdom. Details on the companies involved and the specific agreements were not disclosed.

#2- Yamama Cement board green lights new company for mineral sector investment: Yamama Cement ’s board of directors approved the company signing an MoU with Obeikan Investment Group and Sultan Holding Company (SHC) to form a holding company to start investing in the minerals industry, according to a disclosure to Tadawul. The company will focus on lithium, graphite, and silica production, among others. The MoU will be valid from the signing date until the end of June 2025.

#3- Some 30 Polish companies are setting up shop in the Kingdom in 1Q 2025, state newsagency SPA quotes Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gavkowski as saying at a meeting with the Federation of Saudi Chambers. The meeting probed areas of potential cooperation in food security, and agriculture, as well as mutual access to both the Polish and Saudi markets.

#4- The Capital Market Authority signed off on two IT solutions firms debuting on the Nomu, allowing Axelerated Solutions to list a 10.7% stake, and Anmat Company to list an 11.6% stake, according to statements from the authority (here and here).

About Axelerated Solutions: Founded in 2015, the Riyadh-based company offers a wide range of IT services, including mobile app development, cloud computing, data protection, and technical support.

About Anmat: Also based in the capital, Anmat was set up in 2007 as an ICT systems integrator. The company specializes in IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, unified communications, and digital solutions. It operates across several sectors, including education, healthcare, and finance.

DATA POINTS-

Power distribution networks are now 32% automated, with plans to raise the automation level to 40% by the end of 2025, state news agency SPA quotes the Energy Minister Abdulaziz Bin Salman as saying at an industry event. The ministry also has plans to add nine advanced control centers by 2026.

SPORTS-

The Next Gen ATP Finals kicks off at King Abdullah Sports City and will see four matches played each day — two in the afternoon, and two in the evening — with the final scheduled for Sunday, 22 December. Each player will have three round-robin matches, before the top two in each group meet in the semifinals. Matches are best of five sets, with the first player to take four games taking the set.

THE BIG STORY ABROAD-

No single story is capturing the attention of the foreign pages this morning. Among those worth noting:

Japan’s Nissan and Honda are in talks over a potential merger, which could help the auto giants stay resilient in the face of increased competition from EV players. The two sides are expected to ink an MoU soon to officially kick off discussions of “partnership-broadening steps, including the details of a potential merger.” The news sent Nissan's shares soaring, rising as much as 24%, while Honda’s shares fell as much as 3.4%. (FT | Reuters | Bloomberg | NYT | BBC | The Guardian)

IN NEW YORK — The killing of UnitedHealth’s Brian Thompson stirs public opinion: Luigi Mangione has been indicted for the murder of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, facing charges of first-degree murder and terrorism after gunning down Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel earlier this month. The killing, described as a “well planned attack meant to sow terror,” has sparked public debate about healthcare costs in the US and donations to Mangione’s legal defense fund. Mangione’s extradition hearing is set for Thursday in Pennsylvania, where he is being held on unrelated gun charges. (Reuters | CNN | NYT | AP)

The final pricing will see the firm lock in nearly SAR 1.7 bn in proceeds, giving it a market cap of SAR 5.6 bn at listing. The story also got ink from Bloomberg.

Use of proceeds: Part of the proceeds — after deducting an estimated SAR 52.4 mn in offering expenses — will be distributed to the selling shareholders (Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Almoosa Investment and Abdulaziz Abdullah Almoosa Charity) while the remaining will fuel the company’s growth plans and repay outstanding debt.

Latest earnings: Almoosa logged SAR 13.7 mn in net income in 1Q 2024, dipping 47.4% y-o-y, despite a 19.1% uptick in revenues to SAR 277.2 mn on the back of a new tower opening in Al Ahsa, according to its prospectus (pdf).

M&A activity rebounds with USD 3.5 tn in transactions in 2024, ending two-year decline -Bain

Muted growth for M&A activity this year: M&As are expected to end the year with a 15% y-o-y growth to USD 3.5 tn, marking a 7% y-o-y increase in volume, and reversing a two-year decline, Bain & Company says in its latest report. Still, activity fell short of earlier hopes for a robust recovery, especially with regards to a detente on valuations and regulatory concerns — prompting dealmakers to become more selective and look for cost synergies amid a higher interest rate environment. Strategic M&A valuations also remained at a historical low, well below public market valuations, which spiked this year.

The Middle East played a big role in M&A transactions throughout the year, with inbound and domestic M&A activity growing 88% y-o-y, totaling USD 36 bn in the first ten months of 2024, according to a press release (pdf) from Bain. This growth has been primarily driven by sovereign wealth funds and government-related entities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Middle Eastern acquisitions of European targets also doubled in 2024, with a bigger focus on cost synergies.

The breakdown: Globally, private equity transaction value grew by 29% y-o-y, while venture capital showed a similar 30% increase, and corporate M&A is on track to grow 12% y-o-y.

Energy, natural resources and technology were the biggest M&A sectors for the region: The energy and natural resources sector saw transactions grow 140% y-o-y, while activity in the technology sector grew 90% y-o-y, and advanced manufacturing services saw an increase of around 300% y-o-y.

M&As took longer to close due to increased regulatory scrutiny, which extended acquisition timelines in 2024, with nearly 47% of dealmakers saying that regulatory concerns influenced their acquisition considerations. The Middle East became a good region for M&A activity due to its comparably favorable regulatory environment, Bain said.

Smaller M&A transactions accounted for the lion’s share of activity: Transactions valued at less than USD 1 bn accounted for 95% of all activity, with volume growing for the first time in four years.

Scale deals — where companies target a bigger market share through an acquisition — accounted for 59% of total global transaction value, marking the highest proportion since 2015. This trend was also prominent in the Middle East as firms sought to consolidate their leading positions in key sectors.
