OGDC & PSMC: Result Previews,(AKD Daily, Oct 25, 2019)

  • For OGDC we expect modest NPAT growth of 4%YoY (EPS: PkR6.45) on the back of lacklustre production and stability in realized oil/gas prices, while production and exploration expenses remain relatively firm. Accompanying payout of PkR2.75/sh is aided by other income.
  • PSMC is slated to release 3QCY19 earnings today where we expect them to post LPAT of PkR613.1mn (LPS:PkR7.45/sh.) recording a slide of 10%YoY, taking cumulative 9MCY19 LPAT to PkR2.14bn (LPS:25.99/sh).

OGDC- Growth only from macro externalities: OGDCL reports 1QFY20 results today (25th Oct’19) where we expect cumulative NPAT to rest at PkR27.74bn (EPS:PkR6.45/sh) climbing 4%YoY where key catalysts are: 1) ~16.1%YoY/~7.1%QoQ decline in realized oil prices, coupled with average exchange rate pullback of -2%QoQ for the PkR vs. US$, 2) modest production declines for gas (-3%YoY) and oil (-7%YoY) keeping production stable, while LPG production also moderated, and 3) slightly elevated below the line exploration and admin expenses are forecasted, where treatment of two dry wells (in Nashpa and Khewari blocks) remain below 4QFY19’s expense booked over failed offshore exercise. Other income is expected at PkR1.12/sh (after tax on investment income) clearly aiding in the expected accompanying payout of PkR2.75/sh.

PSMC - Forgettable CY20 continues with 3Q results: PSMC is slated to release 3QCY19 earnings today where we expect them to post LPAT of PkR613.1mn (LPS:PkR7.45/sh.) recording a slide of 10%YoY, taking cumulative 9MCY19 LPAT to PkR2.14bn (LPS:25.99/sh). Cumulative 2%YoY rise in net sales for 9MCY19 (~12%QoQ decline in 3QCY19 sales) are underpinned by 15.4%YoY dip in unit sales during the period, where sales price hikes are the key driver for growth, where cost inflation remains drastic, leading profitability on a depreciative path (GM to recede to 3.2%). Spiked finance costs keeps the bottom line in check (expected at PkR340mn for 3QCY19, crossing PkR1bn for 9MCY19), while the company’s expansive CAPEX outlay makes the case for a payout completely void.
