TRANSPORTATION 5 November, 2020 TORG (Buy tp NOK190): 10x P/E, cash equivalent 20% of mcap and 11% FCF yield Lars-Daniel Westby Petter Kongslie Phone : (+47) 24 14 74 16 Phone : (+47) 24 14 74 96 Mobile : (+47) 90 03 96 65 Mobile : (+47) 98 41 1080 E-mail : [email protected] E-mail : [email protected] 10x P/E, cash equivalent 20% of mcap and 11% FCF yield Reiterate our Buy rec. and target set at NOK190, which is 2021 P/E of 15x + 6% stake in NTS During Covid-19 and the following complete shutdown of society, TORG has demonstrated an impressive resilient business model driven by a combination of being an very important Norwegian infrastructure giant (Ferry, Bus, Air) with leading market position in all its verticals with high share of gross contracts (no risk on price and volume). Where Ferry revenues are down only 12% in 1H20 and Air only -18.7% YoY, Bus revenues is actually up 1% in 1H20 due to star-up in Sweden and new contracts in Norway. Moreover, with cost initiatives implemented, the blended EBITDA margin is set to decline only 1.2pp from 14.1% to 12.9%. The investment case in TORG is therefore highly compelling as we see it at a 2021 P/E of 10x adj. for the 6% ownership stake in NTS. Indeed, with a order backlog of NOK42bn with a duration of 7-8 years, TORG is set for significant revenue growth from a trough in 2020 (CAGR of 16% between 2006-2019). Moreover, with a lower fixed cost base and fall through from scale, EBITDA margin rebound is set for both Bus (5.5% EBITDA margin in 1H20 vs. 7.5% in 2019) and Air (7.7% margin in 1H20 vs. 10.1% in 2019) post 2020. Coupled with peak capex last four years, TORG is set to generate NOK14 per share in FCF in 2021, which on last close correspond to ~11% yield. On top is a strong balance sheet with NIBD/EBITDA of ~2x, of which cash equivalent to 20% of mcap. Consequently, we reiterate our Buy rec. and set target at NOK190, which correspond to 2021 P/E of 15x + 6% stake in NTS Source: SB1M, TORG, Bloomberg 2 High share of gross contracts show strength during Covid-19 TORG trades at 2021 P/E of ~10x adj. for the 6% ownership in NTS Estimates Comments Torghatten ASA History New NOKm 2016A 2017A 2018A 2019E 2020E 2021E Ferries; Revenues 9.386 9.740 10.209 11.401 9.946 10.622 Expenses -8.040 -8.426 -8.790 -9.793 -8.661 -9.041 - Revenues down 12% in 1H20 EBITDA 1.345 1.314 1.419 1.608 1.285 1.581 EBITDA-margin 14.3% 13.5% 13.9% 14.1% 12.9% 14.9% DA&I -612 -689 -734 -782 -731 -766 - EBITDA margin of 30% EBIT 733 625 684 826 554 815 Net financials and other -143 -67 -3 -140 -94 -141 Pre-tax profit 590 558 681 686 460 674 Tax & Minorities -244 -153 -137 -189 -106 -192 Net income to TORG 346 405 544 497 354 482 EPS to TORG (adj. for treasury shares) 7.4 8.7 12.0 11.1 7.9 10.7 Bus; Adj.
