Caltex Moves Into New Zealand With Gull Acquisition; No Change in View

We make no change to our AUD 28 per share fair value estimate or to our earnings forecasts. Caltex has agreed to purchase Gull New Zealand for AUD 325 million and expects the transaction to be earnings-accretive in the first full year of ownership. We err on the side of caution, assuming an earnings-neutral outcome. That said, materiality is limited, given Caltex’s AUD 8.0 billion market capitalisation and our AUD 1.0 billion 2016 EBITDA forecast. Purchase consideration represents 8.2 times 2017...
