Morningstar | Genesis Should Continue to Benefit from its Low-Cost Hydroelectric Generators Over the Longer Term

Genesis Energy is a vertically integrated electricity generator and retailer accounting for more than 15% of New Zealand's total electricity output and a fourth of the retail market. It enjoys a strong competitive position, and we rate the firm as having a narrow economic moat based on its position in the oligopolistic New Zealand electricity market. The regulatory environment has been favourable, and the market is dominated by four major electricity companies, providing an attractive landscape supportive of solid cash flow and returns. The firm targets increasing EBITDA to NZD 400 million-430 million in fiscal 2021. Growth should be driven by contributions from recent acquisitions, cost-out initiatives, roll-off of unfavourable gas contracts and higher retail LPG volumes.
