Vermilion has reported Q219 FFO (fund flows from operations) of C$222.7m, 4.8% below consensus of C$233.8m and 8.2% below our forecast of C$242.5m despite a 14% increase in FFO y-o-y. Key drivers of the miss versus our forecast include reduced production in France due to a refinery outage which had a post-tax FFO impact of C$11m and an inventory build in Australia which had an impact of C$8m. At 103.0kboed, production was 1.2% ahead of our forecast despite the outage in France, driven by new wells contributing in the US (production +21% q-o-q) and Australia (+14% q-o-q). Guidance for FY19 production remains 101–106kboed (with the mid-point implying 19% y-o-y growth) and Vermilion’s capex budget of C$530m remains unchanged. Our last published valuation was C$47.5/share, based on a blend of FY19 P/CF, EV/EBIDAX and multiple of FCF plus five-year NAV growth. We note that there has been a material de-rating in the Canadian large-cap E&P sector which currently trades at an average 2.7x FY19e P/CF versus 3.8x at the time of our last Vermilion publication.
