Polymetal - Strong 3Q19 Production; Upside to 2019 Output Guidance Touted

Polymetal has reported strong 3Q19 production results and indicated that it could exceed its 2019 output guidance by up to 50 koz (in line with our forecast). The company noted additional cost pressures from higher royalties due to the increase in the gold price but left its 2019 cost guidance unchanged. Reported net debt indicated good FCF generation of around $90 mln in 3Q19. At the spot gold price and the current USD/RUB rate, the stock is trading at a 2020E EV/EBITDA of 7.4, a leveraged FCF yield of 6% and a dividend yield to be paid in 2020 of 5% (based only on regular dividends at a 50% payout from adjusted net income).
