Wednesday, July 27, 2016 | update PGNiG: accumulate (reiterated) PGN PW; PGN.WA | Gas & Oil, Polska High FCF Guarantees Sustained Dividends Current Price PLN 5.50 Target Price PLN 6.06 PGNiG has generated a total return of 13% since our last update in April, outperforming the WIG20 index by 19 points, and at the Market Cap PLN 32.45bn current level the first-quarter positive earnings surprise is fully Free Float PLN 9.47bn priced in. That said, we still see upside potential in the Company ADTV (3M) PLN 65.18m even despite a disappointing preliminary second-quarter report, and we maintain an accumulate rating for PGN with the price target Ownership raised to PLN 6.06 per share. We have upgraded our FY2017 outlook for the Power Generation business and the E&P business which will State Treasury 70.83% more than offset the slowdown in Trade and in Distribution. According to our calculations, PGNiG will end 2016 with a net debt Others 29.17% close to zero even after this year's acquisitions, and with the 2017- 2018 FCF projected at PLN 1.9bn this leaves a thick cash cushion to Business Profile sustain dividends. PGNiG is still at risk of becoming involved in PGNiG is Poland’s largest natural gas company with furthering the government's energy policy, but at this time there are annual sales exceeding 14 billion cubic meters. The no specific plans on the table (the potential acquisitions of EDF Company produces 4.5bcm of gas and 1.2mmt of Poland assets or Petrobaltic should not significantly hurt crude oil per year (including from international deposits, most notably the Skarv project in shareholder value, and the Norway pipeline plans are a remote Norway). A key business for PGNiG is distribution prospect). effected through its own transmission infrastructure. As well as natural gas, PGNiG is also a producer of Solid 2016 outlook electricity and heat. Even after a PLN 0.68bn impairment loss incurred in Q2, PGNiG will have achieved 55% of our full-year EBITDA forecast in H1 2016 (59% on an PGN vs. WIG adjusted basis). The strong earnings growth this year is driven mainly by 7.00 Trade (capitalizing on a high retail tariff through the end of the year) coupled with Distribution (old tariff extension with a higher cost base, higher PLN WACC, and lower volumes). The Generation segment as well has delivered 6.50 upside surprises thanks to lower costs of coal and higher prices of heat. PGNiG has a strong outlook ahead in H2 2016 in our view as adverse regulatory changes are likely to be offset by rising prices of crude oil and 6.00 natural gas, benefitting E&P. 2017 EBITDA may top PLN 6bn 5.50 PGNiG is set to experience a slowdown in Trade in 2017 due to higher costs of natural gas purchases, especially LNG, and in Distribution its profits will be affected by new tariff rules. On the upside, the E&P segment is poised for 5.00 PGN an acceleration next year driven by higher sales prices, a lack of impairment, slightly higher volumes, and cost savings, underpinned by WIG 4.50 favorable base effects (PLN 0.48bn hedging losses in H1 2016) and higher Jul-15 Oct-15 Jan-16 Apr-16 Jul-16 costs of the LNG terminal operation. Further, with 40% of the gas and oil sales now done on an arm's length basis, PGNiG's sales margin is protected against commodity price volatility. Finally, a resolution of the Gazprom dispute next year could add as much as $0.6 billion to PGNiG's 2017 earnings.
