Operational outperformance priced in

Raise target price by 74% to GBp200/share; but downgrade to Neutral. We raise our valuation to include i) higher production (520-540k oz) and cash cost guidance (USD530-550/oz) for 2016 (from 470k oz at USD680/oz previously), and ii) higher production and lower cost forecasts in 2017 as the downward shift in costs was likely driven by economies of scale, lower oil prices and EGP devaluation (16% of cash costs are in EGP). Lower costs account for 60% of our TP upgrade, while a fasterthan- expected production ramp up presents the balance. We however think that this is largely priced in at current levels and change our rating to Neutral from Overweight.
