Montauk Energy | Off to a flyer

Montauk Energy delivered a strong set of FY ‘18a results. Revenue increased by c.22.5% y/y to $109.1m. EBITDA increased by c.42.3% y/y to $53.3m. All of Montauk's RNG sites have agreements with terms of 15 or more years. Montauk's electrical sites which have agreements in place with terms of 10 or more years, constitute 89.8% of its total electrical sites.

The current Presidential Administration has affected the stabilisation of the RIN market, resulting in price volatility and limited ability to sell RINs on a forward basis. We estimate a one-year total return of 34.5%; a 20.3% outperformance relative to the benchmark. We maintain our OUTPERFORM rating.
