TURKEY METALS & MINING - Outstanding results in 3Q19
Koza Gold’s 3Q19 net income significantly beat the RT consensus and our estimates. Operationally, 3Q19 EBITDA beat our estimates by 22% backed by a significant increase in gold production and a drop in cash costs. Based on higher gold production, cash cost per oz fell by 18% y-y in 3Q19. It also raised its 2019 gold production guidance to 330k-355k oz from 300-320k oz.
Despite assuming higher revenue and lower cash costs for 2019 and 2020, our TPs for Koza Gold and Koza Metal inched down by 1%, based on lower peer comparison based valuation contribution to our TP and stronger TRY against USD forecasts. We maintain our positive stance on Koza Gold as it is a promising turnaround story supported by increasing gold production amid rising interest rates and TRY weakness. We view Koza Metal as a value play that provides alternative exposure to Koza Gold.
