FFC_FATIMA & EFERT 3QCY17 Earnings Previews

FFC: 3QCY17 Earnings Preview

FFC is scheduled to announce its 3QCY17 financial results tomorrow (Oct 20'17), where we expect FFC's earnings to clock in at PkR2.03bn (EPS: PkR1.60) - down 22%YoY. This decline in earnings is expected on the back of GM coming off by 12pptsYoY to 19.6% (includes subsidy) on account of lower urea prices (down 8%YoY), higher discounts offered during the period and higher proportion of low margin DAP sales in sales mix (DAP offtake: up 11.6xYoY to 249k tons in 3QCY17). On a cumulative basis, we expect 9MCY17F earnings to stand at PkR5.85bn (EPS: PkR4.60) compared to PkR7.51bn (EPS: PkR5.90) in 9MCY16, down 22%YoY. Alongwith the result, we also expect an interim cash dividend of PkR1.30/sh. Having lost 24%CYTD, the stock currently trades at a CY17F PE of 11.3x where our Jun'18 TP of PkR96.9/sh offers an upside of 22% from current price level. BUY!
