Unipro 4Q 19 - Berezovskaya relaunch delayed yet again

Today Unipro reported weaker yoy results for 4Q 19 EBITDA-wise on the back of lower electricity prices (-20% yoy in Siberia and -7% yoy in the European part) and electricity production (-9% yoy). Yet the results turned out better than we had expected on the back of a higher share of new more efficient units in the overall generation. The latter had resulted in higher than expected electricity spreads and lower unit fuel costs, similarly affecting the bottom line. Nevertheless, we treat the new delay in the Berezovskaya relaunch as more important and overwhelmingly negative for our FCF forecasts together with the higher capex guidance. Nevertheless, the dividends in 2020-22e are still confirmed at the RUB 20 bn/year plan, with DY of 11%.
