Vermilion Energy - Q2 FFO in line; oil price upgrade drives valuation

Vermilion Energy (VET) reported Q2 fund flows from operations (FFO) of C$193m, in line with consensus estimates and a 23% increase q-o-q. The acquisition of Spartan drove a 15% q-o-q increase in production to 80.6kboed, c 1% ahead of consensus, which includes volumes from Spartan after close of the C$1.4bn acquisition on 28 May 2018. We increase our expectations for FY18 FFO from C$887m to C$946m (+7%) and FY19 FFO from C$1,104m to C$1,208m (+9%), reflecting higher oil price expectations for H218 and 2019. We use EIA short-term WTI price projections of US$66/bbl in 2018 and US$62/bbl in 2019. Our valuation increases from C$53.8/share to C$57.9/share as a result.
