Pakistan Power: A much needed first dose of liquidity

  • After a delay of three months since the payments to the IPPs became due, the federal cabinet has finally accorded approval to the clearance of first installment to the IPPs. The first installment is expected to be received by 7th Jun’21 latest.
  • Some of the best placed bets in the power sector on upcoming payments could be KAPCO, followed by PKGP and ALTN, for whom liabilities amount to 46/33/20% of the receivables, respectively (refer to table), with KAPCO having a potential to pay out PkR12.5/sh over the next 12 months.
  • PSO’s receivables from HUBC stand at PkR23.3bn as of Mar’21and assuming a 40% clearance in first installment, we expect cash inflow of PkR6.6/sh while EPS impact from PIB and T-Bills is expected to be at PkR0.8/sh (2.5% of FY22F EPS) however the expectation of payout rests on receipt of late payment surcharge, in our opinion.
