DNG: Solid Q3 Revenue and Cashflow Generation
What you need to know:
• DNG reported Q3 financial results that were mixed relative to our expectations, missing on production results and beating on financials.
• Q3 revenue was $100.5M compared to our estimate of $89.7M, and Q3 OCF (before WC) was $6.6M compared to our estimate of $4.7M.
• Management maintained its annual guidance for production, revenue, and net income but does not expect to hit its capex guidance. We encourage investors to look out to 2026 when DNG’s growth investments start to make an impact.
This morning, Dynacor Group (DNG:TSX, DNGDF:OTC) announced its Q3 financial results that were mixed compared to our estimates, but beat on all financial metrics. Revenue grew 32% YoY, largely due to the increased gold price. DNG confirmed its 2025 guidance for revenue and net income but outlined that capex will be below its expectations as certain planned investments will be made in 2026. We remain bullish on DNG as it sets up for a strong 2026 when the story returns to growth mode. We are maintaining our BUY rating and C$7.50/share target price on Dynacor.
Key Highlights
• Tonnes processed for Q3 came in at 39.5Kt (-17% YoY), below our estimate of 42.9Kt. The decline was due to two weeks of artisanal miner road blockades in July, but the plant has operated at full capacity since then. DNG would have processed 43Kt, excluding the disruption.
