Revenue Calcs.7 Jan 2021 12:57
I have been trying to reasonably value the company, as I am sure most here, and I would be really happy for anyone to comment on my calcs for discrepancies.
To note I have left off the pellet premium which is huge, currently standing at $45, and makes an incredible difference to EBITDA when added. However I have gone through company accounts and it does not appear to be reflected in the company sales prices. Ferrexpo have some reports on Premium pellet prices, & it seems the premium spot price to China runs at on average a $20 discount.
H1,20 revenue $776M, Fe 65 price $105.90/t,
Average C1 cash cost (US$/t) $40.9/t.
Generated Underlying EBITDA $352M
Jan 21 Fe pellet price $185/t,
an uplift from $65/t achieved to $144/t,
Based on multiple of 144/65 *$352M
=$779M EBITDA for 6 months.
=$1560M p/annum
=£1155M p/annum
For valuation purposes
x4=$6.2B or £4.6B
shares in issue 589M.
Share price £4.6B/589M = £7.80
Final note: standard valuation for similar miners runs at an av of 4 to 6 x EBITDA. So I have chosen to cautiously look at the lower end of the valuation spectrum
Also again without discussions on pellet premiums.
