4QFY18 EPS of PKR 5.0 to take full year earnings to PKR 18.2/share

Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) is scheduled to announce its 4QFY18 result on September 7, 2018, wherein we expect an earnings growth of 6% QoQ to clock in at PKR 21,302m (EPS: PKR 5.0). It will result in full year earnings of PKR 78,123m (EPS: PKR 18.2), which is 22% higher than the earnings in FY17. During the quarter, the company is expected to post a meager increase of 1% QoQ in gas production whereas a decrease of 3% QoQ in oil production is likely to be seen. Moreover, we anticipate a cost write off associated with 2 dry wells (Sheikhan Bhutta 1 and Tolanj East) in 4QFY18 results. On YoY basis, better crude oil prices coupled with currency depreciation will drive the growth of 31% in the earnings. Along with the result, we expect a cash dividend of PKR 3.0/share, which will take annual dividend to PKR 10.5/share.
