PhosAgro - 1Q19 IFRS Results Strong, as Expected

PhosAgro has released its 1Q19 IFRS results, which came in line with our and the consensus expectations. The results were strong, supported primarily by a working capital release. Now, however, phosphate fertilizer spot prices are trading below 1Q average levels and have limited upside in our view. We thus think the 1Q high earnings could be a one-off. At spot fertilizer prices and the current USD/RUB, PhosAgro is trading at a 2019E EV/EBITDA of around 6.2 and leveraged FCF yield of 7-8% (depending on the size of the working capital release this year). A conference call will be held today at 14:30 London/16:30 Moscow time.
