Below is what I think should be an appropriate value given to the company. I am still learning so I may be off:
IMP current reserve value is $8.2 billion when allowing for the following variables:
120m barrels 75% interest US$81 per barrel $AUS-$US= 0.90
Lets say that there is about a 40% margin. (I had a look at Roc's latest quarterly as a benchmark and they were getting at least 50% in their last 2 quarters so 40% may be conservative)
Gross revenue: 8.2billion x 0.4 = 3.28billion
Lets say it will take them 20 years to extract all the oil. This would equate 600,000 barrels per year or 1,643 barrels per day (once again a very conservative figure)
I'll also use a discount rate of 5% (value of money will be worth 5% less each year) and then we get as the present value of the project as:
3.28 billion / (1.05 ^ 20) = $1.24 billion
Using 182million shares as the fully diluted amount in my calc then the value of each share would be $6.81
I believe the company should be valued at $6.81 per share
Of course any of the variables may change
Any thoughts?
