OGDC_PPL_POL_FY17 Result Previews

We preview FY17 financial results for companies in our E&P universe where we expect OGDC/PPL/POL to post earnings of PkR63.32bn/25.65bn/9.90bn for FY17E, up 5.6%/48.8%/36.8% over the previous year. Improved earnings of the companies is attributable to 1) upward movement in Intl. oil prices (up 19%YoY) and 2) heightened oil production across the board (+9%/9%/8%YoY for OGDC/PPL/POL). Briefly commenting on their individual performances, OGDC lagged in comparison with its peers largely due to reduced revenues from Natural Gas (down 11.25%YoY) on the back of lower contribution from its JV fields: Bhit & Badhra, Miano and Kadanwari. PPL, on the other hand, benefitted from incremental gas volumes (320 BCF against 284BCF last year) by virtue of consistent spudding of wells in its flagship leases: Sui and Kandhkot; while for POL, lower exploration expense aided in the upliftment of its bottom-line. At current levels, we have an ACCUMULATE stance on PPL with a target price of PkR205/sh.
