Gresham Mining & Infrastructure Services Quarterly We are pleased to present Edition 24 of the Gresham Mining and Infrastructure Services Quarterly (GMISQ), a snapshot of the performance, news and trends across the resources and infrastructure services sectors. The Gresham Mining and Infrastructure Services Index (GMISI) fell 6% during the September quarter, compared to a 2% increase in the broader equity market. This was driven by share prices decreases from several of the largest companies in the index, including a 30% decline in CIMIC’s price. Excluding the 5 largest constituents, the GMISI would have increased by 3%, with 33 of the 50 companies seeing share price appreciation. In this edition we review the FY19 reporting season across the sector, which was characterised by generally strong performance. Around two thirds of participants recorded double digit revenue and earnings growth, with companies exposed to mining production well represented in the top half of the group. The outlook also remains positive, evidenced by most companies providing outlook statements guiding towards continued growth in FY20, and favourable demand noted across both resources and infrastructure. This is consistent with significant contract award activity observed during in the quarter, and median consensus forecast revenue growth of 10% pa over the next two years. Despite the positive FY19 reporting season, the market reaction was mixed across the sector, reflecting high expectations heading into results. Valuation multiples have generally strengthened slightly, driven by increasing share prices across the majority of smaller constituents. The median FY20 PE and EV/EBIT ratios sit at 12.4x and 8.2x respectively, both above long term averages. There was limited corporate activity during the period, with QIC’s proposed acquisition of Pacific Energy and Cardno’s planned demerger the most notable. However, there is likely to be further activity in the coming months, with a number of processes underway. In addition, after virtually no primary equity raisings for the better part of a decade, there are some potential IPOs in the pipeline for the next 12 months. The first successful listing was maintenance services group Mader, with the fate of other potential candidates depending on conditions in a relatively fragile IPO market.
