However, the real crowd pleaser was the 4.3% dividend increase, which was larger than expected—and ALA is expected to increase the dividend again Key changes in mid-2018 (once the WGL acquisition closes). That said, we continue to view the stock as fairly valued Norm EBITDA (C$) at current levels. 2017E Old 771 New 791↑ 2018E Old 776 Highlights New 847↑ AltaGas reported normalized 3Q EBITDA of C$190m, ahead of consensus of C$179m. Relative to our Norm FFO/sh estimate of C$174m, the EBITDA beat was primarily attributable to wider-than-expected frac spreads 2017E Old 3.49 and higher-than-estimated equity income from Petrogas. New 3.52↑ Payout ratio (%) 2017E Old 75 ● Dividend boost ahead of our expectations. ALA increased the dividend to C$2.19/share (from C New 77↑ $2.10/share) on an annualized basis, an increase of ~4.3% (we were looking for an increase of 2.9%). 2018E Old 79 Given AltaGas’s annualized dividend growth guidance of 8–10% to 2021 (contingent on closing the New 73↓ WGL acquisition), we anticipate another dividend increase in mid-2018. Source: Desjardins Capital Markets ● North Pine NGL separation facility trending below budget and ahead of schedule. The first train of the facility (10 mbbl/d) is expected to be completed in December 2017 (ahead of the original schedule of 1Q18) and cost C$100–110m (below the initial budget of C$120m). ● The WGL acquisition remains on track; ALA launches first phase of asset dispositions. AltaGas continues to expect the WGL acquisition to close in mid-2018. As part of its plan to finance the acquisition, AltaGas has launched the first phase of its asset sale process (which it expects will be completed in early 2018), which includes Blythe and the Tracy facility in California (additional asset sales may be undertaken in 2018). Valuation We reiterate our C$29 target, which is derived through a blended valuation of our DCF (C$35/share) and a sum-of-parts valuation (C$23/share). Recommendation We reiterate our Hold–Average Risk rating. 3 OCTOBER 20, 2017 Cenovus Energy Inc. Justin Bouchard, P.Eng., CFA • (403) 532-6615 • [email protected] Zaakir Karim, CFA, Associate • (403) 532-6625 • [email protected] Petur Radevski, Associate • (403) 532-6601 • [email protected] Rating: Buy, Risk: Above-average, Target: C$14.00 CVE C$12.51, TSX/CVE US$10.01, NYSE Palliser sale; three of four done, but (much) more to go The Desjardins Takeaway Cenovus’s sale of the Palliser asset (in conjunction with the sale of Pelican Lake and Suffield in 3Q) has Click here for full document removed many of the risks around the divestment strategy and reduced balance sheet risk, and thus represents a clear step in the right direction. Nevertheless, uncertain commodity prices, still elevated Key changes debt levels, high breakeven prices (relative to peers), 208m shares off lock-up on November 17 and DACF (C$m) uncertainty around the Deep Basin strategy remain headwinds to the story. 2017E Old 3.4b New 3.3b↓ 2018E Old 3.9b Highlights New 3.6b↓ Over the past five months, the execution of Cenovus’s C$4–5b divestment strategy (and with it the Ttl prd (mboe/d) company’s opportunity to rightsize the balance sheet) has been front and centre on the minds of 2017E Old 461 investors. The Palliser disposition gives CVE ~C$2.8b for its first three asset sales, which is ahead of our New 446↓ 2018E Old 590 estimated mid-point for these assets (C$2.4b) and suggests the company will likely close toward the low New 534↓ end of the target range for its four legacy conventional assets. As a result, we believe the asset sales CFPS (dil) (C$) announced to date have helped to accomplish three key objectives: reduced the risk around potential 2017E Old 2.45 credit downgrades, meaningfully strengthened its balance sheet and removed the risk that CVE might New 2.39↓ have to divest of assets at fire sale prices. 2018E Old 2.54 New 2.34↓ That said, the work to rightsize the balance sheet is not yet finished (in our view). Assuming CVE is able to Source: Desjardins Capital Markets fetch C$1b for Weyburn (our sales price expectation is C$975–1,350m), we estimate it needs a ~US$60/ bbl WTI price environment to sport net debt/cash flow of sub-2.0x in 2018. The problem with this is that oil prices have not touched US$60+/bbl WTI since mid-2015. Meanwhile, in a more modest recovery to US$55/bbl WTI, CVE would require an additional C$1.5b in asset sales to realize net debt/cash flow of 2.0x in 2018. As a result, we believe more asset sales are coming in 2019. Possible divestiture candidates include its undeveloped Kirby West oil sands assets and Deep Basin midstream assets. Even then, the headwinds noted above continue to loom large. Valuation We reiterate our target price of C$14 per share, based on the equal weighting of our estimated 2017 NAV/share of ~C$15.50 and a 6.5x EV/DACF multiple (2018E).

  • Rating Action: Moody's Downgrades Canadian Banks
    Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Canadian Banks Global Credit Research - 10 May 2017 Toronto, May 10, 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today downgraded the Baseline Credit Assessments (BCAs), the long-term ratings and the Counterparty Risk Assessments (CRAs) of six Canadian banks and their affiliates, reflecting Moody's expectation of a more challenging operating environment for banks in Canada for the remainder of 2017 and beyond, that could lead to a deterioration in the banks' asset quality, and increase their sensitivity to external shocks. The banks affected are: Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, National Bank of Canada, and Royal Bank of Canada. The BCAs, long-term debt and deposit ratings and CRAs of the banks and their affiliates were downgraded by 1 notch, excepting only Toronto-Dominion Bank's CRA, which was affirmed. The short term Prime-1 ratings of the Canadian banks were affirmed. All relevant ratings for these banks continue to have negative outlooks, reflecting the expected introduction of an operational resolution regime in Canada. "Today's downgrade of the Canadian banks reflects our ongoing concerns that expanding levels of private- sector debt could weaken asset quality in the future. Continued growth in Canadian consumer debt and elevated housing prices leaves consumers, and Canadian banks, more vulnerable to downside risks facing the Canadian economy than in the past." said David Beattie, a Moody's Senior Vice President. In the same action, Moody's affirmed the BCAs, long-term ratings and CRAs of CIBC Mellon Trust (CIBC Mellon), the Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec (the Fédération) and Caisse centrale Desjardins.
