We upgrade Alaris Royalty shares to Outperform (from Sector Perform) and
recommend using recent share price weakness to accumulate shares. Shares
currently trade below L3Y historical median ranges and present attractive risk/
reward given the company’s expectations of a strong year of growth (i.e., new
investments) and positive developments in the portfolio.

Upgrade to Outperform - What’s changed? We note several changes in the
company and the stock over the last three months that in our view, positively shifts
risk/reward. More specifically:
• Management provided added clarity into KMH Cardiology’s revenue deferrals
from the company – “…We expect a resolution over the next few months.”
• A doubling of new investment pipeline which could see Alaris closing on more
than 3-4 new partners previously indicated this year. This would imply Alaris
may meet and/or exceed our forecasted run rate of $180MM/year of net new
investments.
• Strong +5.5% y/y organic growth of portfolio distributions in 2014.
• Share prices are down 14% over the past three months – significantly more than
we expected – and now trade at 17.6x 2015E P/E and 1.9x P/BV, below L3Y
historical median trading values of 19.8x and 2.01x, respectively.
Net/net, a call on valuation in consideration of the above: We believe recent share
price weakness provides an attractive entry point.
All values in CAD unless otherwise noted.
FQ4/14 results largely in line: Total investment income of $19.2MM, was slightly
below our estimate of $20.0MM. Partner income was $18.9MM, in line with
consensus of $19.0MM. NOI per share was $0.46, below our forecasted $0.48, but
above consensus of $0.43.

• Net debt/EBITDA covenant changed: First Quantum announced today that the
required threshold of syndicate banks have agreed to the changes requested by
the company to the net debt/EBITDA covenant under its $3.0 billion credit facility
and $350 million Kansanshi facility. The changes are effective at the end of the
period. With the tax change in Zambia and the drop in commodity prices, First
Quantum had indicated with its Q4/14 results that it would breach its net debt/
EBITDA covenant and had been seeking covenant relief from its lenders, which
it expected by March. First Quantum remains compliant with all existing finance
covenants currently and expects to remain compliant with the new covenants at
the next covenant test date of March 31, 2015.

• Q4/14 EBITDAR below on higher expenses. HNZ reported Q4/14 EBITDAR at
$1.8MM, well below our $9.6MM estimate. Revenues were in line at $42MM
(RBC at $42.5MM), with the variance the result of higher operating expenses.
While we had anticipated more aggressive cost reductions in relation to the
completion of the Afghanistan military contract, we do expect a period of higher
expense variance as HNZ balances new growth opportunities with softer industry
demand.
• Strong financial and operating position. While quarterly results came in below,
HNZ produced FCF of $2.4MM and $28.5MM in Q4/14 and 2014, respectively.
HNZ remains in a very strong financial position with no outstanding debt, $14MM
in cash, and positive working capital of $49MM.
• Looking over the valley. While management noted that HNZ is likely to face
headwinds in 2015, current market conditions were leading to increased tender
activity for offshore production support contracts. We will be looking for
additional colour on the call as to the potential market opportunity for HNZ, both
from a new contract and acquisition perspective.
• Assessment: Positive thesis intact. Should the HNZ shares pull back following
Q4/14 results, we recommend accumulation for longer-term investors. While
market headwinds have developed, operational discipline and low debt levels
position HNZ to effectively navigate current market conditions, while setting the
stage to achieve an inflection in EBITDAR growth in 2016.

BRP will report FQ4/15E on March 27th, closing out a challenging and very backend loaded year. We expect solid results, and anticipate that investor focus will shift
to next FY and the longer-term perspective. We continue to see solid brands and
product portfolio, and expect more consistent financial performance in F2016E. At
11.4x C2016E EPS, valuation remains compelling, in our view.

• Wrapping up a (very) back-end weighted year: Driven by several product
launches, we forecast FQ4 revenue of $1.02B (+12.6% Y/Y), in-line with consensus
$1.03B. On this, we anticipate Adj. EBITDA increases 72% to $182MM, and Adj.
EPS increases 96% to $0.80, roughly in-line with consensus of $180MM and
$0.79, respectively.
• Looking ahead – using ‘lessons learned’ in F2015 to offer initial F2016E
guidance: We may see some conservatism in F2016E outlook, increasing the
likelihood of achieving/beating guidance. We also believe it would be prudent to
provide a more detailed view on the expected quarterly progression of revenue
and earnings through the year – a key investor issue in F2015E.
• F2016E looks positive, with Y/Y increases largely coming in the first half of the
year: We forecast revenue increases 4.2% Y/Y to $3.47B, Adj. EBITDA increases
17.0% to $473MM, and Adj. EPS increases 21.3% to $1.78.
• On the surface, our forecasted increase in EBITDA seems a steep challenge.
However, about half of this increase reflects the avoidance of one-time F2015
factors.
5
• We also expect the seasonal pattern to normalize in F2016E, meaning the first
half of the year should see significantly higher revenue and earnings Y/Y.
• Attractive risk/reward despite F2015 challenges: Looking ahead, we expect
revenue to grow at a 5% CAGR F2015-2018E, driving an 11% EBITDA and 16%
EPS CAGR. With this, we view DOO’s trading multiples as attractive - 7.1x
C2016E EBITDA and 11.4x EPS, a significant discount to Polaris at 9.3x and 16.7x,
respectively.

volumes from its increased backlog, driving double digit EPS growth in 2015, 2016.
We expect ROE to improve, and we expect investors will see solid upside to CAM

• Focus on greater $ per project vs. broad market share growth. Management
prefers to gain a larger project contribution with existing clients vs. bidding on
more 1 off projects to gain market share. This direction ties in with CAM focus
on improving margin, particularly in expansion cycle co is now seeing.
• Significant backlog to drive operating leverage, higher margin. CAM ended 2014
with backlog at $1B, at current USD FX this is $1.1B. Co sees ability to generate
~9% EBITDA on careful attention to project execution as well as stronger volumes
driving SG&A down as a % of sales. We have slightly adjusted our EBITDA margin
up in F16 closer to 9% from 8.5% previously).
• Balance sheet and FCF. CAM does have $69M in convertible debentures (at $12/
share) due in October 2015, management is evaluating refinancing in the case
of repayment but these are currently in the money and hence likely to convert.
We have adjusted our estimates to reflect CAM debentures now "in the money"
with the share dilution and debt repayment. We expect CAM to generate ~$25M
of FCF in F15 and co sees its current additional borrowing capacity of $140M as
sufficient to finance its working capital and growth needs.

• Decisions largely in line with our expectations. At first glance, the new
framework is largely consistent with the proposals put forward by the CRTC
in its August 2014 working document and is consistent with what we had
expected. For investors, the key decisions are: (i) a low-cost maximum $25 "entrylevel" basic package (with no children’s services included); (ii) pick-and-pay and
small packages in addition to the "status quo"; (iii) the allowing of volume and
penetration-based rate cards with limitations; and (iv) the phasing out of access
rights and introducing a "1:1 ratio" for vertically integrated BDUs. For more detail,
please see our industry report titled “CRTC Releases Unbundling Framework for
Television”.
• Corus has significant exposure. We believe the earnings of the English-language,
specialty broadcasters are most exposed to this new framework reflecting the
likelihood of: (i) lower channel penetration including some channel failure; (ii)
6
the loss of affiliate fees, ratings, and advertising; and (iii) higher promotional
costs. Mitigating factors could include higher channel pricing, the resilience of
strong brands, any re-allocation of household entertainment budgets between
channels, higher advertising rates for popular channels, and a potential easing in
the rate of cord-cutting given greater packaging flexibility. Corus has the highest
exposure within our coverage, with television broadcasting accounting for ~68%
of total revenue in F2016E. Our analysis points to NAV downside as high as -20%
and -30% under our Impactful and Disruptive scenarios, respectively.

please see our industry report titled “CRTC Releases Unbundling Framework for

• Some headwinds but exposure is manageable. We believe the new framework
is directionally negative for content (71% of DHX revenue in F2016E including
20% production) given the likelihood of lower broadcaster and BDU funding.
However, mitigating factors include the opportunity to produce and distribute
content globally to a growing pool of OTT buyers. In our view, stronger headwinds
relate to television broadcasting (29% of DHX revenue in F2016E), reflecting the
likelihood of: (i) lower channel penetration; (ii) loss of affiliate fees, ratings, and
advertising; and (iii) higher promotional costs. Mitigating factors could include
higher channel pricing, the resilience of strong brands, re-allocation of household
entertainment budgets between channels, and a potential easing of cord-cutting
given greater packaging flexibility.We see mid-to-high single-digit NAV downside
under our impactful and disruptive scenarios.

Q4/14 Results: Mix fluctuations may indicate increasing reimbursement
pressures
The Q4 results fell below expectations due to the normal fluctuations in payor/case
mix. Recall, Q3 was stronger than anticipated for the same reasons. That said, Q4
typically has the lowest proportion of low margin cases and may reflect increasing
reimbursement pressures. We have reduced our long term growth assumptions
modestly but believe new recruitment and savings initiatives could help to offset
these headwinds.

reductions YoY. The company also saw a $1.3MM decline in e-health incentive
payments.
• EBITDA declined on mix as well. Total EBITDA was $30.5MM vs. $32.1MM
last year, our $31.5MM forecast and consensus of $32.6MM (ThomsonONE:
4 analysts, range $30.9-33.9MM). EBITDA ex-minority interests decreased to
$18.2MM (20.8% margin) from $18.5MM (20.6% margin) last year and was
ahead of our $17.2MM estimate. The aforementioned shifts in payor/case mix
negatively affected EBITDA.
• Distributable cash of C$12.9MM (C$0.41/sh) excluding FX. Distributable cash
ex-FX was C$12.9MM (C$0.41/sh) vs. our C$14.7MM estimate (C$0.47/sh) and
C$13.7MM (C$0.44/sh) last year. The payout ratio was 68.4% ex-FX for the
quarter vs. our 59.8% forecast and 64.2% last year.
• Attractive holding for yield-oriented investors. Given the stable cash flows,
cash reserves, and organic growth opportunities due to an aging population
and higher quality of care rankings relative to its peers, Medical Facilities,
in our opinion, remains an attractive alternative for yield (currently ~6.5%)
oriented investors. We are monitoring reimbursement headwinds carefully, but
the dividend appears secure considering the payout ratio was ~81% in 2014 and
the continued strength of the US dollar.

One of our best ideas; dividend increase expected next quarter
Historically, during periods of macro uncertainty, POW and PWF’s shares typically
were viewed as defensive within Financials. Given increasing macro uncertainty
coupled with the wider-than-historical discount to NAV, we believe POW’s shares
are likely to Outperform over the next year. POW is also likely to announce a
dividend increase in the coming months, which could be incrementally positive for
the stock.

• Power Corporation reported Q4/14 operating EPS of $0.74, a penny above our
$0.73 our forecast. Relative to our forecast, lower than forecast earnings from
PWF were more than offset by a better than expected contribution to earnings
at the POW corporate level.

• Maintaining 12-month target of $39/share and Outperform rating. We believe
that increasing macro uncertainty and POW/PWF’s shares historically being
viewed as defensive within Financials is likely to drive the discount to narrow,
particularly given other defensive and/or high U.S. exposure stocks within our
coverage have experienced significant share price appreciation over recent
months.
• We expect a 7% dividend increase when POW reports Q1/15 in May (to $1.24/
share annualized).
• POW is our favourite name in the Power Complex and we prefer POW over PWF
(PWF is also Outperform rated) due to a higher expected total return. We also
view POW and PWF as the better way to gain exposure to GWO and IGM (vs.
owning GWO and IGM separately).

We prefer PWF over GWO/IGM. Maintain Outperform
Historically, during periods of macro uncertainty, PWF’s shares typically were
viewed as defensive within Financials. We believe PWF’s shares are likely to
Outperform over the next year given increasing macro uncertainty coupled with
the wider-than-historical discount to NAV. PWF also announced a 6.4% dividend
increase which we believe is incrementally positive for the shares.

• PWF reported Q4/14 operating EPS of $0.74, a bit below our $0.77 forecast.
The variance to our forecast primarily reflects a lower-than-forecast earnings
contribution from Pargesa.
• 6.4% dividend increase incrementally positive for PWF. PWF’s quarterly
dividend will be increased from $0.35/share to $0.3725/share ($1.49/share
annualized), payable on May 1, 2015 to shareholders of record on March 31,
2015.
• Maintaining 12-month target of $42/share and Outperform rating. PWF’s
shares trade at a 13.6% discount to NAV, significantly wider than the 9.4%
long-term average. Our target reflects a 3.7% discount to NAV as we believe
that increasing macro uncertainty and PWF’s shares historically being viewed as
defensive within Financials are likely to drive the discount to narrow, particularly
given that other defensive and/or high U.S. exposure stocks within our coverage
have experienced significant share price appreciation over recent months.
• We prefer POW over PWF (POW is also Outperform rated) due to a
higher expected total return with essentially the same underlying investment
exposure (PWF drives 84% of POW's gross NAV). We also view POW and PWF
as the better way to gain exposure to GWO and IGM (vs. owning GWO and IGM
separately).

Solid cash flow from a high quality portfolio
Silver Wheaton is well positioned to provide investors with solid cash flow
given a portfolio backed by low cost and relatively long life assets. Although the
company's share price has come under pressure on the back of the recent equity
offering and Salobo deal, we believe the pull-back provides investors with an
attractive entry point.
Solid cash flow backed by portfolio of low cost, long life assets

• Silver equivalent sales are forecast to increase to 43.5 Moz in 2017 from 32.9 Moz
in 2014, implying a 3-year per share CAGR of 6%. Over this period, all-in costs
(including interest payments) are expected to average $5.74/oz implying an allin margin of ~65% based on spot metal prices.
• Growth is expected to be driven by the start-up of Constancia, ongoing rampup of Salobo as well as higher output at San Dimas and Penaquito. Reduction of
the gold stream at 777 (due to satisfaction of Constancia completion test) and
expiry of the silver stream agreement at Cozamin are expected to partially offset
these gains.
Salobo deal enhances long-term optionality
• The acquisition of a second 25% gold stream on Vale's low cost Salobo copper
mine significantly enhances Silver Wheaton's underlying optionality given the
potential to participate in multiple price cycles over a 45+ year mine life, future
exploration success and possible operational enhancements. Although both
transactions were completed at similar implied spot IRRs (~4%), we believe the
second deal comes at a more opportunistic time in the current cycle.

• Most important decision of the 'Let's Talk TV' review largely in line with
expectations. The CRTC released its widely anticipated decision regarding
consumer choice and flexibility (i.e., channel unbundling) in the Canadian
television industry. From an investor perspective, this decision is the most
important one coming out of the ‘Let’s Talk TV’ review. At first glance, the new
framework is largely consistent with the proposals put forward by the CRTC in its
August 2014 working document and is consistent with what we had expected.
• For distributors, the earnings impact should be manageable. We believe the
earnings impact on the telecom operators should be manageable reflecting: (i)
an effective Internet hedge to mitigate the loss of television distribution EBITDA;
(ii) limited NAV exposure to television broadcasting, which in our view, is the
segment that will be most exposed within the current television ecosystem; and
(iii) an existing unbundled television regime for Quebec-based operators.
• Multiple compression: An illustrative scenario analysis. Our analysis examines
four scenarios – benign, mild, impactful and disruptive – with each scenario
characterizing the magnitude of the potential impact. Shaw is the only company
among the telecom operators where we could see a material high-single digit
NAV impact but only under the disruptive scenario.

• Coal and energy-related volumes weigh on weekly carload growth. Total freight
volumes transported by the Class 1 railroads increased +1%Y/Y in the week
ending March 14th as continued strong volume gains by CNR and CP were
tempered by flat carloads in the U.S. From a commodity perspective, singledigit volume gains across most segments was offset by a -5%Y/Y decline in coal
traffic and an -8%Y/Y drop in both petroleum products and non-metallic minerals
shipments.
• Operating statistics hold steady. Average train velocity reported by the Class 1
railroads (excluding CP) declined -1%W/W to 22.7Mph with all carriers reporting
flat or lower train speeds compared to Week 9. Average terminal dwell for this
group improved modestly (2%W/W) to 25.7hrs with all rails (excluding UNP)
posting a sequential improvement in dwell time.

• Broadcasters are most exposed, particularly specialty. We believe the earnings
of the English-language, specialty broadcasters are most exposed within the
current television ecosystem to this new framework reflecting the likelihood
of: (i) lower channel penetration including some channel failure; (ii) the loss of
affiliate fees, ratings, and advertising; and (iii) higher promotional costs.Corus
has the greatest exposure among the publicly traded broadcasters with television
broadcasting accounting for 75% of enterprise value, followed by TVA Group
(49%) and DHX (18%).
• Multiple compression: An illustrative scenario analysis. Our analysis examines
four scenarios – benign, mild, impactful and disruptive – with each scenario
characterizing the magnitude of the potential impact. Corus faces the highest
risk of material NAV impact. DHX could see high-single digit NAV erosion but only
under the disruptive scenario. Finally, we believe the impact for TVA should be
modest given existing channel flexibility in the Quebec market.

Equity Rebound On Track With Small and Mid-caps Leading
11
(212) 858-7065; anna.drotman@rbccm.com
• Equity recovery continues from oversold levels established last week with small
and mid-caps leading/breaking out. We continue to view the recent 12-month
breakout by the small-cap indexes as a bullish resolution to the macro headwinds
that overhung equities through 2014. Sentiments surveys vary widely, but the
recent decline in bullish sentiment could/should support further upside in
equities.
• Despite Wednesday’s Fed related sector ‘volatility’, we continue to see many
of the same group themes reaccelerating/emerging notably in the Healthcare,
Technology, Transports and select Discretionary sector. In contrast we view
rebounds in many of the Resource/Energy areas as counter-trend, multi-week,
oversold rebounds rather than the beginning of multi-month/quarter uptrends.
• IDEAS - (+) Healthcare – Leadership intact, accelerating with more Biotech
(REGN, AMGN, CELG, ALXN), Pharma (BMY, LLY, MYL, PRGO) and Hospitals (UHS,
LPNT) emerging/accelerating from 3-6+ month trading ranges WITH relative
performance leading. (+) Technology – Software (ACIW, CRM, CDNS, ANSS, FTNT,
ORCL), Internet (FB, AKAM), Data Processors (GPN, JKHY) and select Semis
related (ADI, SLAB) building leadership while PC related themes test next support.
• (+) Transports – Leadership accelerating – Airlines (JBLU leads DAL emerging),
Truckers emerging: ODFL, R, WERN, JBHT.
• (+) Discretionary – Accelerating ideas include NKE, UA, MAR, HOT, M, while GPS
is showing early signs of bottoming.
• (=) Bond Proxies – Rebound continues, notably REITs: AVB, AIV, BXP, SPG
• (-) Staples – Beverages remain in weak relative performance trends: KO, PEP. (-)
Chemicals/Fertilizers – Despite becoming ‘oversold’, relative performance trends
remain weak: ARG, PPG, FMC, MON

Dissemination of research and short-term trade ideas
RBC Capital Markets endeavors to make all reasonable efforts to provide research simultaneously to all eligible clients, having
regard to local time zones in overseas jurisdictions. RBC Capital Markets' equity research is posted to our proprietary website
to ensure eligible clients receive coverage initiations and changes in ratings, targets and opinions in a timely manner. Additional
distribution may be done by the sales personnel via email, fax, or other electronic means, or regular mail. Clients may also
receive our research via third party vendors. RBC Capital Markets also provides eligible clients with access to SPARC on the Firms
proprietary INSIGHT website, via email and via third-party vendors. SPARC contains market color and commentary regarding
subject companies on which the Firm currently provides equity research coverage. Research Analysts may, from time to time,
include short-term trade ideas in research reports and / or in SPARC. A short-term trade idea offers a short-term view on
13
how a security may trade, based on market and trading events, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. A
short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports reflecting the
research analyst's views of the longer-term (one year) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons,
methodologies and/or other factors. Thus, it is possible that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term
'Sector Perform' or even an 'Underperform' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure
in the market; conversely, a subject company's common equity rated a long-term 'Outperform' could be considered susceptible
to a short-term downward price correction. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and
the firm generally does not intend, nor undertakes any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade
ideas may not be suitable for all investors and have not been tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and
investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact
