DESCRIPTION

Lonmin plcSolid 3Q12 operations report, production guidance lowered, growth capex deferredLonmin reported a strong production performance for its third fiscal quarter on the back of higher tons, grade and concentrator recoveries. Platinum produced at the concentrator in the quarter amounted to an annualised run rate of 808koz, while metal produced at the refinery amounted to an annualised rate of 744koz. In past years the group has tended to sell 40% of its refined platinum in 1H, which this year amounted to some 309koz Pt (or 773koz for the year on a 40/60 basis). For the 9m to 30 June 2012, refined production amounted to 491koz Pt, sales to 469koz, so 4Q refined production and sales must amount to 259koz and 281koz, respectively. This likely means that for the group's 750koz Pt sales guidance to be achieved a "trouble-free production run" will be required through year end. Meanwhile capex guidance has been slashed, with FY13 & 14 cut to $250m from $450m, each. This’ll mean the planned build-up to 900koz Pt sales in 2015 will be delayed (by at least two years in our view). FY13 guidance has been cut from 800koz sales to 750koz. Management has advised the market that it is examining possible external funding options that may be required to shore up the balance sheet. Production summary. Sequential improvement in mining and production performance. The improvement is broadly based with increases in tons, grade and process recoveries.Balance sheet. At the end of March 2012, the group’s balance sheet showed net debt of $356m, including $528m of debt. The bulk of the debt (involving a facility of $700m) is subject to a covenant that requires the 12m trailing net debt/EBITDA ratio not to exceed 4x, measured at end-September and end-March each year. At spot metal prices our models show that the September test should be passed - however the March 2013 test could be problematical. In this context we note management’s comments that external funding options are currently being considered. Management mentions specifically debt market options, but has not ruled other options out. In our view the possibility of an equity capital financing cannot be ignored – though management appears to be signaling that it would prefer to access debt financing based on the text of the latest disclosure. Production guidance. Platinum production guidance for FY12 remains at 750koz. FY13 has been lowered c50koz to flat at 750koz. Further out, no specific guidance has been provided though management states that the 2015 target of 900koz will be delayed owing to the planned reduction in capex. It is our view that the delay is likely to be at least two years since reduced investment in the new Hossy, Saffy and K4 shafts was where the bulk of the previously guided increase in production was to be sourced. Conclusion. The current weak PGM market environment though it is unfortunate that the group is not operating at its optimum capacity of 900koz Pt pa. Lonmin’s cost base is largely configured for this level and for as long as it is not achieved, costs will not be optimised (some 70% of operating costs are fixed). What we have here is a kind of “Catch 22 scenario”: Without investment, the group can’t get to where it needs to be to reduce costs. And with depressed rand PGM prices, when it can’t afford to invest, it needs lower costs... PGM markets have always been linked to consumer confidence - particularly in Europe.
