Russneft 2H 19 - When exact figures do not matter anymore

Yesterday, the company reported 2H and FY 19 results, which, although better on EBITDA (on more moderate opex growth) and FCF (on capex cuts) than expected, are overshadowed by the current oil price environment, vague loans to affiliated companies (RUB 16 bn, which basically wipes out all of the one-off trade paybables hike in 2019), guarantees provided to third parties and the forward contract on own shares with VTB. Thus, we remain negative on Russnefts ordinaries.
