2020 Outlook

Storm reported 2Q19 financial and operating results below GMPFE and consensus expectations (CFPS $0.10 vs. GMPFE $0.12 vs. recently lowered consensus of $0.12, which was $0.14 only three weeks prior). Volumes and CFO were negatively influenced by unplanned third party outages of ~2,000 boe/d during the quarter, with lower realized pricing and increased cash costs due to unutilized take or pay agreements only compounding the matter. While only mid-way through August, the company has communicated another outage at the McMahon gas plant, with corporate volumes impacted by ~16,000 boe/d for July 30th-August 12th. The third such outage of 2019 has seen 77% of corporate production shut in for a total of 37 days thus far, which is notable. In light of the above, while further acknowledging the recent deterioration in North American natural gas and NGL pricing, Storm has opted to revise its full year 2019 outlook. The company is now contemplating full year volumes of 20,000-22,000 boe/d from capital investment and funds flow of $110 mm and $55-$61 mm, respectively (previously 21,000-24,000 boe/d, capex $128 mm, FFO $65-$77 mm).

Storm reported solid fourth quarter financial and operating results ahead of our expectations and slightly ahead of consensus (CFPS $0.25 vs. GMPFE $0.23 vs. consensus $0.24). Strong reserve costs consistent across all categories enabled Storm to deliver a cash recycle of 2.5x/2.2x/2.6x in the PDP/1P/2P categories which will be at or near the top of the bulk of the Intermediate/Mid/Small cap E&P space this year.
Storm announced a processing arrangement with Spectra, securing 65 mmcf/d of processing capacity at McMahon on favourable terms. Concurrently, it has accelerated its 2016e capex plans and lifted its 2017e growth forecasts. We have increased our 12-month target price to $6.50/sh from $5.25/sh on the maintenance of our prior 2017e EV/DACF target multiple. Decent stock price performance leading up to this announcement, coupled with market expectation that Storm could accelerate its program and its relative trading illiquidity, could see the stock reflect only partially the kind of CFPS uplift we forecast.
Impact: Positive. This processing arrangement and capex acceleration has 2017e volumes moving higher on $20 mm increase in 2016e capex and unchanged 2017e capital program, with Storm benefitting from reduced (15%-20%) operating costs. This is positive to our estimates, likely driving 2017e CFPS +20% higher. With this deal representing 55% of projected Umbach processing footprint come January 2017e, we view this as a bridge in the medium term as Storm works towards a longer term solution (ie. operated gas plant).
Storm reported second quarter financial and operating results that were in line with our and the market’s expectations. The Company has largely reaffirmed its 2H16e guidance and provided a preliminary 2017e outlook that is effectively in line with our prior view. It could accelerate efforts in 2H16e on confirmation of price recovery, and while its 2017e outlook implicitly offers a slightly lower growth target on lower investment than our prior forecast, there should be no surprises to market estimate adjustments on receipt of this report. We have reduced our 12-month target price to $5.25/sh from $5.50/sh on the maintenance of our prior 2017e EV/DACF target multiple.
Some Recovery on Segmented Cash Flow Generation Over Q1 Though Still Down 56% Y/Y. In aggregate, the Intermediate, Mid, and Small Cap groups are expected to generate 2Q16e cash flow of $1,281 mm, $183 mm, and $53 mm, or $1.517 billion in total, that while depressed relative to the same period last year (~$2.647 billion combined), is up 17% sequentially from the prior quarter, largely on the strength of crude oil price recovery in the period. Severely weak natural gas pricing picture markedly reversed into summer, market likely to ignore financials for natural gas producers and look ahead to winter and formalization of sell-side 2018e estimates in coming months. Spot AECO natural gas prices recently crested C$2.60/mcf, and with a reasonable alignment of previously distressed NE BC Stn2 differentials, augmented by a withdrawal expected next week, view the market psyche as constructive and looking ahead, with the analogy that this market is shaping up to mirror 2012 still holding. That said, with crude oil poised to retest support levels, combined with strong stock price performance broadly observed YTD, we would characterize sentiment as slightly pessimistic in the near-term which could reduce or unwind momentum-based investment strategies that have worked thus far in 2016.

With this publication we highlight forecast revisions associated with our commodity price update (Natural Gas Update; Crude Oil Update), reaffirming a view of commodity price recovery in 2017e. In the interim until then, 2016e Canadian oil price realizations are up ~11% in the synthetic and Edmonton Light streams, with heavy WCS crude up ~20% which is amplified by Canadian oilsands output curtailments. While 2016e Canadian natural gas prices are projected to be ~20% lower, we expect much of this effect to be mitigated by strong hedging positions this year, and remain focused on price recovery next year with very strong increases reflected in both the strip and our revised forecast. Overall, broad valuations are flat to slightly higher coming out of this exercise, with oil/ liquids levered entities observing the highest 2017e CFO uptick. We remain constructive on the space, though the market will need to look past a trough of potentially weak pricing this summer.

Storm reported first quarter financial and operating results that were in line to ahead of expectations. As telegraphed, Storm has formally reduced its capital investment outlook for 2016e once again in light of sustained weak natural gas prices, delaying the construction of its 3rd Umbach compression facility to April 2017e, now offering ~$40 mm capex for 2016e to achieve 15,500-16,000 boe/d and exit the year at 13,000-14,000 boe/d. We continue to believe the market will endorse the Storm business strategy in this cycle, with no changes to our valuation or ranking coming off of this report.
Neutral to slightly negative. Storm posted quarterly volumes slightly behind our forecast while cash flow came in 7% higher on lower cash costs and better realized pricing. As previously communicated to the market in terms of potential future moves, Management has elected to reduce 2016 capital and production volumes in light of an ongoing weak natural gas tape. While our near-term estimates will be moving lower, a minimalist capital program that includes the deferral of the 3rd Umbach facility and voluntary shut-in volumes should not adversely affect our 2017e outlook or overall investment thesis on the stock.

Storm reported fourth quarter nancial and opera ng results that were in line to ahead of our expecta ons. Further, the Company’s year-end reserve book was a highlight, characterized by markedly strong PDP reserve growth and excep onal FD&A costs across each category. As an cipated, Storm has formally reduced its 2016e capital investment outlook for 2016e, delaying the construc on of its 3rd Umbach compression facility to 4Q16e, now o ering $80 mm capex for 2016e to achieve 15,500-16,000 boe/d. We con nue to believe the market will endorse the Storm business strategy in this cycle, with no changes to our valua on or ranking coming o of this report.
Impact: Slightly positive. The Company posted quarterly results ahead of our thinking while prudently reducing its 2016e outlook, which is now more in line to notionally ahead of our existing outlook. Storm managed to grow its reserve book y/y while posting strong FD&A metrics.
With this publication we highlight forecast revisions associated with our crude oil commodity price update. Concurrent within a dynamic time for E&Ps, some of which have already begun the process of 2016 capital budget downdrafts, revised estimates attempt to directionally capture a shift towards capital conservation, though severely weakened futures curves have influenced our thinking for the better part of 6 months anyway. We expect further capital investment reductions forthcoming from E&Ps in the coming weeks.

i3 Energy has provided an interim update the highlights of which are: • Production is exceeding expectations with lower declines than modelled resulting in stable production from November 2020 to January 2021 averaging 9,150 boe/d (41% liquids) – about 1,000 boe/d greater than expected by the forecasts of the company's competent persons' reports at the time of its relisting. • Based on the futures curves for oil & gas, the company anticipates net operating income for 2021 (revenue minus royalties, operating costs, transportation and processing) of approximately CAD $35m (US $27.6m). • Maintenance capital expenditure guidance in conjunction with the net operating income amounts to CAD$3m. • i3 Energy completed an 80 hour flow-test on a horizontal Falher well located on its Noel acreage in Northeast British Columbia. The flow test ran for a sustained period at 4,200 mcf/d (700 boe/d) on a 1/4” choke. The well is expected to be brought on production at approximately 500 boepd during the second quarter of 2021, following tie-in. This well was not included in the company's 2P reserve estimates. The result represents a materially value enhancing development. Both the net income guidance and maintenance capital guidance excludes the potential contribution of the Noel acreage. • The Company continues to progress the legal process to allow it to declare a dividend in Q1 2021. As previously disclosed, the Company aims to distribute up to 30% of free cash flow as a dividend to shareholders. • The company indicated that discussions continue with a potential farm-in partner for the Serenity discovery and terms are being negotiated. The recent strengthening in commodity prices has reinvigorated activity within i3's virtual data room, and additional parties previously contacted during early 2020 have now re-engaged with the company. The company indicated that the market will be updated if and when an agreement is reached. (see Table 1 for asset scale/value estimates in relation to the company's North Sea assets).

Pantheon Resources has this morning announced that the better than expected well-logs from the Kuparuk formation warranted a change in plan for the testing of that formation, namely, from an open hole test to a more rigorous cased hole test (with a 4 ½ inch liner). However, due to equipment failures and technical issues, the formation started to become damaged in its current location and as such it was not possible to set the casing string (4 ½ inch liner). Accordingly, the company has made the decision to drill a new modestly angled sidetrack in the Kuparuk formation. It is estimated that the sidetrack will take 2-3 days to drill, some 650 feet through the Kuparuk formation, which should then allow a better testing operation. As a result of the cold weather in Alaska, the drilling season may be extended into early April.

UK railway privatisation, which was launched in the mid-1990s, has finally turned full circle: the Department of Transport has recently confirmed that its controversial railway franchise system will be scrapped. In this month's feature article, Nigel Hawkins, the Infrastructure analyst at Hardman & Co, examines the 25-year history of railway privatisation and chronicles its ups and its downs. The successes of railway privatisation, such as new rolling stock, are addressed, along with the many shortcomings, which included minimal vertical integration. With the winding up of the franchise system, the UK railway sector is effectively reverting to its former status as a nationalised industry, a shift started with the renationalisation of the collapsed Railtrack – later re-badged as Network Rail – in 2001.

The Calabar power station, which accounts for the majority of Savannah’s Nigerian gas sales, has entered a new power supply agreement with the Republic of Togo, with more in discussion, raising the prospect of meaningful increases in Savannah’s gas supplies to the plant. These additional volumes will come at negligible additional cost, leveraging the bottom-line impact. The recently signed Mulak Energy gas sales agreement demonstrates this, boosting our 2022 earnings by 8% and our risked-NAV and price target by 6% to 55p/sh.

We are replacing our preliminary valuation of i3 Energy, which had been premised on the valuations of GLJ and Sproule, with our own valuation model and our own commodity price assumptions. The resource estimates assumed in our valuation remain aligned with those of i3 Energy's resource evaluators, namely, GLJ, Sproule and AGR Tracs. Our fair value amounts to 15.0p/share, which compares to our prior and preliminary valuation of 17.7p/share. Our valuation is premised on the proven and probable reserves of the company's Canadian assets; therefore, we believe that the company's current share price provides an opportunity to acquire a compelling investment at a steeply discounted entry price.
