Strong results and above consensus with adj. EBIT of €5.2bn (+36% qoq) with Exploration & Production up by 21% qoq (€4.38bn) and the Global Gas & LNG portfolio division up 74% qoq (€931m). These numbers were supported by higher oil & gas prices (overall realization price for hydrocarbons up 16% at $75.5/boe), and partly offset by lower production (-5% qoq at 1.65mbd).

AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.060 per share: Flow rate at the top end of expectations at important appraisal well - The Anshof-3 well flowed ~75 bbl/d of light oil (and no water) on test from the Eocene reservoir. This has positive implications for production, reserves and the upside case. The flow rate was at the upper end of expectations (40-80 bbl/d). The well has not been acidized yet which could boost production rate b

At just US$70/bbl, the overall FCF yield is estimated at 15% for 2023 and >20% for 2024. Assuming US$110/bbl, this increases further to ~40% for each of 2023 and 2024.

We view this CMD as confirmation of the distribution to shareholders, yet updated with the higher oil price environment. With oil above $90/bbl, the company will use 30% of the excess free cash flow in share buy-backs. During the call, management confirmed that the payout would equal €1.2 per share at $100/bbl, or a 9.15% yield at the current share price.

The results are slightly above consensus with an adjusted operating profit up by 53% qoq, whereas TotalEnergies, for comparison, reported an EBIT up by 30% qoq. The results were driven, of course, by the higher oil and gas prices, but also higher production (+3% qoq at 1.7mbd), with the E&P division accounting for 96% of the group’s results. Unfortunately, there is no update on the distribution policy and we will have to wait another month for the capital markets day (18/03/21).

Eni presented its retail & renewables company, Plenitude, which will be listed next year. Both divisions are set for growth, but the retail side of the business will partly help in funding the strong expansion in renewables. While expectations on returns in renewables have been set lower, they are now in line with utilities companies. The project pipeline in renewables is visible, and within reach, mainly where Eni has customers (Italy, Spain, France), which could bring some synergies.
Strong results in Upstream, leading to a cash flow from operations before working capital of €3.3bn (+19% qoq). While Brent was up by 7% qoq, natural gas realised prices were up by 40% qoq, which appears higher than expected given the company’s gas portfolio. All in all, a solid set of results.

A well workover programme has started in October to add 100-150 boe/d. The Anshof-1 exploration well is expected to be spudded in December. An updated reserves report is expected in the coming weeks.

Sylvania’s end March 2022 cash balance improved by 25.5% to US$138m and Q322 revenue increased by 17% as a result of higher platinum group metal (PGM) prices. Production improvement was slower than expected, which put pressure on unit costs over the quarter. Most of the operational issues of Q322 have now been or are almost resolved, with the company expecting a ‘significant increase’ in production in the fourth quarter.

ARC has announced it has signed a JV agreement with Anglo American (LSE:AAL, Market Cap $45bn) over its Zambian licences. This has long been in the offing and we view the terms as advantageous to Arc and a validation of the prospectivity that it (and we) see in its licences. The headline JV payments are staged but could ultimately lead to Anglo owning 70% of the licences, by investing $74m in exploration and paying Arc $14.5m. The licences will be held under a JV which will have an initial ow
