Target upgrade by 22.4% (Ebioss Energy)

TARGET CHANGE

CHANGE IN EPS2016 : € 0.00 vs 0.00 +371%
2017 : € 0.09 vs 0.10 -6.63%
Reported net income loss is better than expected, supported by top-line performance (revenues and earnings) above expectations, although lower on the adjusted side from lower impairment charges. Moreover, the removal of Conecta2 from the holding after the divestment of the company has no effect on 2016 estimates but slightly impacts the EPS of the group from 2017 as that was the year when the net income of the company was expected to push into positive territory.

CHANGE IN NAV€ 3.31 vs 1.72 +91.9%
The rollover of 2018 estimates into our model positively affects or SOTP valuation, driven by higher earnings expectations across all business units as the international footprint gains momentum with the acceleration of the commissioning of third-generation gasification units, offsetting the divestment of Conecta2 (which had little impact on the NAV due to its low earnings contribution).

CHANGE IN DCF€ 6.89 vs 5.77 +19.3%
After the inclusion of 2018 estimates, we have maintained our CAGR at 5% from 2018 onwards driven by positive expectations on new project developments that may arrive from the Chinese partnership agreement, supporting growth forecasts. Moreover, we have normalised capex expectations in line with the growth objectives and increased the expected invested budget as we believe a higher capex will be needed (including maintenance charges) to finance the growth forecasts.

Also, the divestment of Conecta2 Energia positively affects margins (driven by the low margins provided) and has a positive effect on WCR as electricity trading requires high levels of cash to enforce output contracts in the wholesale market.

Both effects combined create a positive impact and an upward revision in our DCF valuation.
