EDISON EQUITY RESEARCH: LIQUEFIED NATURAL
GAS LTD - CRITICAL SIX MONTHS
Despite the fall in oil and gas prices over the last six months,
LNGL should be largely insulated from the effects of the fall in
oil prices over the last six months. While many LNG markets are
linked to oil prices, the revenues of Magnolia (and its other
projects) are achieved through fixed tolling fee agreements. As a
result, the main risk to LNGL due to the oil price is whether it
can reach project sanction and financial close (due in mid-2015) –
this is dependent on a number of parties, including EPC contractors
and tolling partners. It is the tolling partners that take the
commodity risk, trading LNG on the global markets. These are all
large companies with long-term horizons. We have refreshed the
valuation, which produces a risked DCF-derived NAV of US$9.3/ADR.
This value should increase over the years towards first production.
A multiples/cash flow analysis backs up our value, implying a
2015-20 CAGR of over 25%.
Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd (LNGL) is an ASX-listed company devoted
to the development of an LNG export terminal in the US, which is
planned to reach financial close in mid-2015 and start production
in 2018.
