WOOD Flash – Sistema: to monetise Segezha’s stake partially, while Segezha will acquire forestry assets for USD 515m

The deal looks value accretive to us, as the combined OIBDA of Segezha and Inter Forest Rus will be 38-45% higher than Segezha’s stand-alone OIBDA, while the EV will increase by only c.21%. On our estimates, Segezha trades at 6.7x 2021E EV/EBITDA; while, following the deal, the new range will be between 5.6-5.9x 2021E EV/EBITDA. Although we would prefer Sistema to sell Segezha’s shares without a discount to spot prices, we believe that the deal should strengthen Segezha’s competitive, operational and financial position significantly; therefore, even a smaller share of Segezha in the portfolio, following the deal, could be worth more than the larger share of Segezha prior to this deal.
