EXMAR - KBC Securities Company Note 22.11.2018 - FLNG ready to "Tango"

Exmar announced the signing of a long term Argentinian export project for the FLNG unit. The project does not require additional Capex and is projected for a fast-track upstart already by 2Q19. The expected EBITDA ($43m/year), combined with the FSRU barge ($23m/year) provides a potential EBITDA jump of 60% (FY18E-20E) to $130m. Additionally the unit can provide a proof of concept for new FLNG projects. Furthermore the contract unlocks the majority of the $67m restricted cash.We saw an initial very positive market reaction (+15%) that cooled down during the day (+3.9% at market close) which we find leaves a lot of value on the table. A haircut off €4.8 p.s. of the full value for both contracted vessels (FLNG and FSRU) is still being taken by the market. We increased our TP from €9.00 to €11.0 p.s. TP and reiterated our Buy Rating.
