Contact Energy has a narrow economic moat, which reflects the oligopolistic structure of New Zealand's electricity market. The firm generates a fourth of the country's electricity and supplies power to more than 400,000 residential customers. Being a net generator, Contact Energy benefits from high spot prices. These typically occur during a dry year when lake levels are below average. The establishment of the low-cost geothermal plant has lowered Contact Energy's cost of generation and improved...

Storage levels in the North Island remain low, at around 60% of mean, allowing South Island-based Contact to benefit from elevated electricity prices. Contact's hydro generation assets...

Conditions are extremely favourable for narrow-moat Contact Energy at present, with low lake levels and gas supply outages causing wholesale electricity prices to spike. Fortunately, the issues causing prices to spike haven't impacted Contact to a material extent and it has increased electricity generation to take advantage of high prices. We estimate EBITDA in the first four months of fiscal 2019 in the core integrated energy division is up nearly 30% on the previous corresponding period, and u...

Narrow-moat-rated Contact Energy’s fiscal 2018 result was largely in line with expectations, given good monthly disclosure. EBITDA slipped 4% to NZD 481 million, and underlying net profit fell 8% to NZD 130 million. The dry spell that marred the second half of fiscal 2017 continued into fiscal 2018 before rainfall improved in recent months. With storage levels still well below average, we expect headwinds in hydro generation to persist in the short term. However, as weather conditions normalis...

Narrow-moat Contact Energy sold its LPG business, Rockgas Limited, to Gas Services NZ, which also recently bought Contact's Ahuroa gas storage facility. GSNZ is an associate of First Gas Limited.

We incorporate the asset sale, which should complete Dec. 31, 2018, into our forecasts. On a full-year basis, EBITDA falls by around N...
