Redwineday, listening to the calls, Duffy did not want to "publicly forecast that" as it is largely dependant on diamond prices. He obviously believes they will be fcf positive. We already were in fy2019.
He also mentioned 75% of the 150-200fcf will be weighted towards the last 2 years. Therefore 25% in fy2020.
A continued negative diamond price could put further stress on that figure, especially if they drop another 10-15%.
But they have said they have many contingency plans if this happens.
If diamond prices go back up 10-15% however, the profits/fcf are going to go through the roof.
Colonel I don't see your point. Pdl have been indebted for a long time. Yes they have spent a lot of money on the mines, have reduced and are going to reduce spending significantly. This is a good thing. If it wasn't for diamond prices falling they would be throwing off 9 figures of fcf yearly.
