Key from Trading update is…. DIRT CHEAP VALUATION8 Dec 2022 08:11
Plenty of info on here.
Net net the KEY TAKE is as follows:
* GUIDANCE for 22: EPS 131Ran/sh (No shares of 133.7m) => this figure includes one off hit from closure of Kwezela complex one off NON cash charge of USD63m. Excluding this: net income 2022 guided at USD1080m. This number is the fire CONSISTENT WITH H1 performance, annualised. This means we trade on BOMBED 1.2x PE ex cash!!!
If there is one take from the results it is this…
This factors 236/t average raised price with 15% discount to spot.
* Whole costs guidance are higher, BUT the volume impact from strikes, rail performance and derailing is much less than people had expected. In fact relative to volumes, -0.6Mt from these in 2022 (-5% on group volumes). The new target of saleable volumes of 12.8Mt is indeed 0.1Mt better than prior mid range guidnace! In sum, the volumes hit from the strikes etc is probably less than HALF what’s priced. As such, the hit to the shares are more than factoring in the net effect of these two.
*Massive cash pile as at Nov: USD 1150m vs 909 in H1. This is BETTER than I had expected.
