4Q16 results – still motoring along

Motor Oil’s 4Q16 results capped a year of strong performance for 2016. Production volumes were up 9% qoq and 3% yoy. For the full year, sales volumes were up 1.5% and down 7% qoq. Due to lower margins than in previous periods, we see flat adjusted EBITDA for the quarter, whilst it was down 11% for the full year, although still high by historical standards. Net debt/EBITDA stood at just 0.66x at the year-end, and the company is restructuring its debt, increasing tenor and cutting costs. An investment plan focused on incremental growth is under way, which will cost around EUR 50m annually for the next few years. Management plans to continue to grow volumes in a steady and sustainable manner. Given the current state of the refining margins in the region, we expect Motor Oil to continue to perform strongly in 1Q17E.
