WOOD Flash – Rosneft: 1Q18 results – improving FCF is quite encouraging

Rosneft reported generally strong 1Q18 results yesterday (14 May), with a notable improvement in FCF generation. We estimate c.USD 1bn of lost profit from the weaker domestic refining market, which we expect to recover throughout FY18E as domestic crack spreads improve. We believe that the stronger oil price, coupled with the recent initiatives to boost shareholder value through deleveraging and a buyback, make Rosneft’s investment case quite attractive, with yesterday’s results generally proving that the company is on track to achieve its goals, in our view. Hence, we reiterate our BUY and recently-raised PT of USD 7.3/GDR.
