THE PATH AHEAD... RECOVERY CURVES TAKE SHAPE / VBA FORECAST ENGINE INDUSTRY IMPACT STUDY, ISSUE 3   2
Introduction
Ten months into the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic recoveries for each of the 24 analyzed industries have begun
to take shape. Hindsight, along with the narrowing of analyst estimates and reduction in Q3 surprises, provide us with
a much clearer picture of the path ahead for each industry.
In the first two issues of our VBA Forecast Engine Industry Impact Study, we assessed the initial damage from the
crisis and analyzed the expected recovery curves by industry to help bring the future picture more into focus.
In this third issue, we revisit the themes from the previous studies and explore the following questions on the
economic recovery:
X Has the disconnect between forecasted fundamentals and equity prices persisted, or are estimates catching up to
      the rapidly climbing equity markets?
X Has the accuracy of analyst estimates improved as we turn the page into 2021?
X Now with ten months of hindsight, can we start to make sense of the vast array of recovery curves?

 To answer these questions and more our team has utilized our proprietary Forecast Engine to help analyze over
 20,000 estimates for 419 public companies spread across 24 industries*. Leveraging data algorithms and dashboard
 analytics, we’ve synthesized the estimates by industry.

Study Highlights
Is a decisive V-shaped recovery realistic at this point in the economic crisis? Most industries continue to see a long
road to recovery, although there is evidence that expectations, and some actual results, have improved for many
industries over the last three months.

Analyzing the results by industry continues to show stark differences, both in terms of near-term impacts as well as
the timing and extent of recovery. Although a decline in revenues and profits is to be expected for certain industries,
the magnitude of the reductions and long-term impact conveyed by analyst estimates is still severe for more than a
few industries.

RECOVERY CURVES TAKE SHAPE

Ten months into the global pandemic multiple patterns for recovery have
emerged. With some hindsight now available, combined with the narrowing
of analyst estimate dispersion in most industries, we see a coalescence
around a handful of specific recovery patterns.

                                            THE PATH AHEAD... RECOVERY CURVES TAKE SHAPE / VBA FORECAST ENGINE INDUSTRY IMPACT STUDY, ISSUE 3   13
In this section we discuss the recovery curves, and the
following pages highlight those industries which exhibit each
respective recovery pattern:

� “L-Shaped”
       A long-term or permanent degradation in future
       estimates compared to pre-COVID-19 expectations.
� “U-Shaped” or “Swoosh”
       A long-term expected recovery to, or near, pre-
       COVID-19 expectations beginning in 2021 or after.
� “V-Shaped”
       Evidence of a decisive recovery to, or near, pre-
       COVID-19 expectations which occurred or began
       prior to 2021.
� “No Impact”
       Little or no impact since the onset of COVID-19.
� “Hockey Stick”
       An increase or acceleration in actual results and
       forecasted results since the onset of COVID-19.

The trend analysis graphs below include the aggregate estimate for the companies in the industry set as of February
2020, January 2021 and in some cases, June 2020. The estimates extend out for each future period in which
meaningful data is available. The aggregate estimates for each year (and at each point in time) are common sized to
the aggregate actual result for 2019. For example, a 2020 estimate of 110% would indicate an expected 10% growth
for the industry set, whereas a 2020 estimate of 90% would indicate a 10% expected decline.

These graphs show a time lapse of the movement in estimates and provide insights for how both the near-term
impact as well as the path toward recovery have changed since the beginning of the economic crisis.

“L-SHAPED” INDUSTRIES

COVID-19 has had a profound effect on eight seemingly diverse industries, which include:

X   Telecommunications (see page 55 for Industry Spotlight)                                    X     Banks (see page 34 for Industry Spotlight)
X   Oil & Gas (see page 47 for Industry Spotlight)                                             X     Gaming, Hospitality, Leisure (see page 39 for Industry Spotlight)
X   Retail – Discretionary & Luxury (see page 50 for Industry Spotlight)                       X     Distribution (see page 38 for Industry Spotlight)
X   Insurance (see page 44 for Industry Spotlight)                                             X     Manufacturing (see page 45 for Industry Spotlight)

Despite operating in unrelated markets, each of the industries above shares one key characteristic: each industry has a significant reliance on tangible assets/capital as part
of its value creation strategy. This reliance is evidenced by high book value to market value ratios. While the relative mix of tangible assets versus intangible assets in value
creation for enterprises has long been shifting toward intangibles in the modern economy, the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have accelerated that trend.

“U-SHAPED” / “SWOOSH” INDUSTRIES

Companies in this group are expected to experience a long and slow recovery toward pre-COVID-19 expectations:

X   Restaurants (see page 48 for Industry Spotlight)                                        X   Asset Management (see page 33 for Industry Spotlight)
X   Media & Entertainment (see page 46 for Industry Spotlight)                              X   Construction - Commercial (see page 35 for Industry Spotlight)
X   Airlines (see page 32 for Industry Spotlight)

While the early days of the pandemic promised quick recoveries for Restaurants and Airlines, the new reality not only shows a slower top-line recovery but also a prolonged
compression in margins. The latest estimates now show a multi-year recovery for both Restaurants and Airlines.

“V-SHAPED” INDUSTRIES

Companies in this group have shown a decisive recovery to, or near, pre-COVID-19 expectations that began prior to 2021:

X   Technology – Hardware & Equipment                      X    Healthcare - Provider                                  X     Healthcare - Medical Devices

While a V-shaped recovery was expected, or hoped, for much of the global economy in the early days of the pandemic, only a few industries have shown such a rebound. Two
industries that experienced the expected pause but then picked back up where they left off are Healthcare - Medical Devices and Healthcare - Provider. In fact, despite the
pause, Healthcare - Provider 2020 results are expected to meet pre-COVID-19 expectations.

THE 2020 VALUE DIVERGENCE

In our inaugural issue, we analyzed how fundamental estimates and equity
prices moved in opposite directions during April and May of 2020. As many
of the prior graphs show, analyst estimates did begin to rebound from
lows at the end of May. However, equity prices have continued to outpace
estimates and exacerbated the overall disconnect.

Market Disconnect

As the disconnect between profit estimates and equity
prices persists, the instinctive reaction is to assume a market
disconnect (e.g., irrational investor behavior). However,
there are clear patterns that have emerged.

As noted earlier, those industries expected to be most
impacted for the long run (L-shaped recovery curves) have
value creation strategies largely dependent on tangible
assets and capital. The lack of recovery in fundamentals is
also reflected in their market value performance relative to
other industries. Tangible asset intensive industries including
Construction - Multi Family and Construction - Single
Family have a similar outlook, despite their sharp recovery
in fundamentals.

Alternatively, those companies with the best market value
performance rely heavily on intangible assets for value
creation. As such, we must consider that financial statement
operating metrics fail to capture the intangible value
creation capacity for intangible intensive value creation
strategies. In future issues, we plan to monitor and further
explore the nontraditional valuation metrics and their
impact on equity prices in certain industries.

TREND ANALYSIS INSIGHTS

While forward estimates have generally decreased from pre-COVID-19 to
post-COVID-19 expectations, recent observations do point to a significant
recovery in estimates for many industries. From September to January, eight
industries had upward revisions to estimates. This is in contrast to estimates
from March through May, which were generally declining from month
to month.

ANALYST ACCURACY

A multi-year look back of analyst estimates compared to actual results
reveals that near-term estimates (e.g., one year forward) have been
extremely reliable*. Moving further out in time (e.g., three to five years
forward) unsurprisingly shows increasing variability as unforeseen
macroeconomic events and company-specific trends drive divergence. With
additional hindsight now available, we have analyzed accuracy of Q2 and Q3
2020 estimates and compared that to historical accuracy.

*For purposes of the accuracy calculations, actual results have been adjusted to exclude the impact of
acquisitions and dispositions that occurred between the time the estimate was made and the time the
actual result was disclosed. The adjustment assures a like-for-like assessment of organic performance.

                                                                                  THE PATH AHEAD... RECOVERY CURVES TAKE SHAPE / VBA FORECAST ENGINE INDUSTRY IMPACT STUDY, ISSUE 3   25

MARKET CAPITALIZATION CHART

The market capitalization of each company in the industry set, as reported by S&P Capital IQ, is summed to derive a market capitalization value for the industry set. The
resulting charts and movements in market capitalization value are therefore “value weighted,” meaning the movement is more heavily influenced by companies with higher
values. The “value weighted” amounts are then compared to the movement in the S&P 500 index for the same period.

inform users of both the historical and expected profit margins observed in each

to benchmark a forecast for a subject entity, helping to identify inconsistencies and
assess reasonableness.
