Hub Power Company Limited - Laying Down the Details of Upcoming Projects

  • We expect Hub plant’s operating costs to normalize in FY18, which coupled with increased capacity utilization factor of 69.2%, will drive Hub Plant’s profitability up by 23.7%YoY to PKR9.13/share
  • Reduced overhauls in FY18 at the Narowal plant will result in PKR2.8/share earnings contribution from Narowal in FY18, compared to PKR2.12/PKR1.86 in FY16/FY17.
  • Allocation of 1.5% stake in CPHPGC to Government of Balochistan reduces our PT by PKR1.33/share.
  • HUBC will have exposure to USD1.875bn of project debt used to finance CPHPGC and TEL’s power plants. As per our understanding, PKR volatility could translate into accounting FX losses, in which case reported earnings will not reflect cash flows
