Raising South32's Near-Term Commodity Price Forecasts, but Long-Term Outlook Unchanged

Fiscal 2017 production guidance for South32 is maintained for most commodities following the second quarter. However, lower coking coal output after issues at Illawarra is the primary driver of our lower fiscal 2017 EPS of AUD 0.23, down from AUD 0.26 previously. The reduction in coking coal matters, given current elevated prices and margins. Slower first-half production is also likely to dilute this year’s realised price, as volumes contracted at lower prices are yet to be delivered.
