Overall growth but little market recognition
For a company that reported double-digit EBITDA and operating cash flow growth for FY16, Augean continues to confound our analysis by trading on a low P/E multiple and well below our fundamental fair value. Given its excellent market position and sustainable competitive advantage through ownership of scarce hazardous landfill assets, we believe the stock should trade well above current levels. Granted, the company had one or two negative items at the full year, most notably the East Kent impairment, but cash conversion at 95% allowing for growth capex and a 50% increase in dividends is an attractive earnings story which is supported by our discounted cash flow valuation of 80p/share.Augean is engaged in waste management businesses. Co.'s business units are: Energy & Construction, which disposes air pollution control residues, asbestos and other contaminated waste materials and soils; Radioactive Waste Services, which treats and disposes low level radioactive waste; Industry & Infrastructure, which is engaged in the recovery and recycling of oil and solvents and the generation of secondary liquid and solid fuels from waste; Augean Integrated Services, which provides total waste management; and Augean North Sea Services, which provides drilling waste management, production waste management, onshore & marine industrial services, decommissioning and water treatment.
