HELLENiQ ENERGY - Dividend shows confidence in future

ELPE reported its final results on 29 February. Adjusted net income of €0.6bn was lower than our forecast of €0.64bn. A positive surprise was that the board is recommending a final dividend of €0.60 per share, which was above our expectation of €0.30 per share. We believe this reflects management’s confidence in the current shape of the business. The balance sheet has been strengthened year-on-year, with net debt reduced from €1.94bn (at end-FY22) to €1.63bn. Our forecasts are under review.

GREEK REFINERIES (HelleniQ Energy - Motor Oil) | Re(de)fining growth

Profitability holding up, valuations remain muted – Greek refineries have displayed noteworthy operational resilience through 2023, thanks to persistently strong refining margins (down just €0.8bn in 2024, when refining margins normalize to more sustainable levels. With the two stocks trading at c5x 2024e EV/EBITDA, at the low end of mid-cycle levels, we believe the current valuation does not capture the rising RES tilt in the profit mix (15-25% for HelleniQ and MOH respectively by 2025e). As su...

HELLENiQ Energy - Another strong set of results

HELLENiQ Energy reported Q322 adjusted EBITDA of €504m, c four times higher than Q321 (€125m) and c 25% ahead of consensus (c €404m; seven analysts).

Hellenic Petroleum - Record Q2 results

Hellenic Petroleum reported Q222 adjusted EBITDA of €535m, almost seven times higher than a year earlier (€79m) and c 50% ahead of consensus (c €350m; six analysts). This was driven by a strong performance across all divisions. Refining saw record-high EBITDA with strong refining margins and export performance, due to market disruption and energy security concerns, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, along with strong demand from improved economic activity. This was despite a scheduled maint...

Greek stocks have bounced c11% since June lows, mirroring a slightly lower advance for Stoxx 600 (8%) triggered by a “peak inflation” narrative across equity markets and dovish signals by the Fed (or at least interpreted so by some investors/traders). Short covering, low positioning and light volumes are likely to have amplified the effect, helping the ASE erase its ytd losses (now flattish ytd). From a sector perspective, banks have led the gainers registering a c16% rally since mid-June, outpe...

Greek Energy/Industrials | Positioning ahead of the fall

Power market in flux; prefer Mytilineos and refineries – Greek industrial/energy-exposed companies have had an eventful 2022 driven by sub-sector dynamics, general macro prospects and idiosyncratic factors. In power generation/supply, the sector remains in flux given the recent regulatory intervention, and, although generation and supply dynamics appear to broadly offset each other, there are several moving parts, not only regarding gas/carbon prices but also regulatory aspects that will determi...

Motor Oil | Record margins, record profits, increased returns

Golden Age fundamentals, valuation disconnect – Refining margins have shot up in 2022 and stand at multi-year highs propelled by a combination of factors. On the demand side, the lifting of COVID-related restrictions across most economies has led to a rebound, evidenced in strong demand for mid-distillates (diesel, jet). On the supply side, the capacity rationalization (shutdowns due to COVID and ageing infrastructure) has been followed by the disruption to Russian exports, further exacerbating ...

Hellenic Petroleum - Strong Q1 results

Hellenic Petroleum reported Q1 adjusted EBITDA of €99m, a 54% increase year-on-year and c 20% ahead of consensus (€82m; based on four analysts). This was driven by strong benchmark refining margins and Greek market recovery (fuel demand was up 16% y-o-y). It was partially offset by higher energy and CO2 costs and an approximate two-month planned outage at the Elefsina refinery. As a result of the outage, net production was 2,798k metric tons (MT), down 16% y-o-y; however, this was partially offs...

Hellenic Petroleum - Low dependency on Russian crude

Hellenic Petroleum, a leading oil refiner in Greece, is making progress in its Vision 2025 strategy by building a 0.3GW renewable energy portfolio as of Q122. The company reported Q421 adjusted EBITDA of €138m, up 80% from Q420 (€77m), supported by a recovery in the refining sector. We expect Hellenic to continue to benefit from favourable refining margins and higher oil demand in Q122 and note that margins increased as an immediate reaction to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, as natural g...

Greek Equity Strategy - 2022 Outlook | Playing Tug of War

2021: “life in the fast lane" – 2021 was quite an eventful year, with swings in risk perception as initial enthusiasm about vaccine progress was followed by concerns about inflation, a pivot in central bank policy (Fed) and the impact from the Omicron variant. As a result, after a 12% return until mid-May 2021, Greek stocks were flat in the remainder of the year, affected by the general de-risking mood and some idiosyncratic headwinds (liquidity drain from capital raisings and issuance activity ...
