RESULT PREVIEW
Asciano Group
FY09 Result Preview
Result Date:
• Wednesday, 26 August 2009
GSJBW Estimates:
• EBITDA: $650.4m
• NPAT (pre NRIs): -$0.6m
• Dividend: n/a
• Divisional EBITDA
Patrick $342.0m
Pacific National $331.7m
Trading Comment:
• Given AIO provided an earnings update at its capital raising for the 11 months to 31 May, the result is not likely to contain any surprises.
• The market's focus will be on outlook comments regarding port and rail volumes, cost control, capital structure and distributions.
• While the steep declines in port volumes observed in early 2009 have not continued, they still remain fairly weak. We don’t expect to see much improvement until early 2010.
• Intermodal and Auto volumes also remain weak while conversely coal volumes have been very robust and will continue to grow into FY10.
Look Out For:
• Update on deleveraging process ie how much debt will be repaid and will remaining debt be refinanced or restructured before maturity.
• Update on cost control initiatives and progress vs target of ~$100m.
• Discussion on likely level of distributions, if any, in FY10 and distribution policy thereafter.
• Update on negotiations to secure contracts for remaining ~6mt of capacity in Queensland coal market.
• Further detail on likely price increases on Hunter Valley coal contracts.
Briefing Details:
• TBA
