Endeavour Mining is a research client of Edison Investment Research Limited

For the third time in succession, Endeavour’s (EDV) quarterly results were materially ahead of our expectations in Q119, driven by universally higher production and lower all-in sustaining costs (AISC) at each of its operating assets (with the exception of the Ity heap leach operation). Output was further augmented by 8.8koz of pre-commercial production from the Ity CIL plant. While production and sales were both c 31% below Q418’s record level, therefore – as a result of c 30% of total mill feed being derived from low-grade stockpiles – they were nevertheless c 22% above our expectations at 121koz apiece.

Q1 positions EDV to meet full-year guidance

In the wake of its Q119 results, we have increased our FY19 production forecast for Endeavour, from 619.7koz to 634.1koz, and reduced our forecast for all-in sustaining costs, from US$802/oz to US$788/oz cf the official FY19 production and AISC cost guidance ranges of 615–695koz and US$760–810/oz, respectively.

Small positive change to FY19 earnings expectations

Notwithstanding our production and cost forecast changes, when incorporated into our full-year estimates, the resulting changes are essentially immaterial on an annual basis. Nevertheless, FY19 is a transition year for Endeavour as capex reduces to almost exclusively sustaining capex in H2 at the same time as process grades at Houndé and Karma rise and the Ity CIL project makes its first positive contribution to cash flows. All other things being equal, we estimate that net debt should decline rapidly from H219 onwards such that we estimate Endeavour will be net debt-free in early FY22 (notwithstanding capex related to the Kalana project) – a timetable that may be accelerated further given management’s stated intention to increase the Ity CIL plant nameplate capacity by 25%, from 4Mtpa to 5Mtpa during the remainder of FY19 at a minimal cost of c US$10–15m.

Valuation: Homing in on US$32.58/share

In valuing Endeavour, we have opted to discount potential cash flows back over four years from end-FY18 then to apply an ex-growth, ad infinitum terminal multiple of 10x (consistent with a discount rate of 10%) to forecast cash flows in that year (FY22). For Endeavour, our estimate of cash flow in FY22 is US$3.26 per share (including exploration expenditure), in which case our terminal valuation of the company at end-FY22 is US$32.58/share (cf US$32.93/share previously), which (in conjunction with forecast intervening cash flows) discounts back to a value of US$27.58/share at the start of FY19.

Q119 results

In general, Endeavour’s Q119 results were worse than Q418 (which was expected given the effective cessation of activities at its Ity heap leach operation), although they were better than our expectations (see Exhibit 1). Gold sales exceeded production at each of EDV’s operations. In addition, production was augmented by 8.8koz of pre-commercial production output from the Ity CIL plant. While production and sales were both c 31% below Q418’s record level, therefore, they were nevertheless c 22% above our expectations. As a result, there was a positive variance of US$28.9m in actual revenue relative to our forecast, which was partially offset by a negative US$10.8m variance in operating expenses and a negative US$2.5m variance in royalties paid. However, depreciation was US$8.6m below our expectations, such that earnings from operations were US$23.3m higher. A summary of Endeavour’s financial and operational performance, relative to both the previous quarter and our prior expectations (as set out in our note, Ity CIL project pours first gold, published on 1 April 2019) is as follows:

Source: Endeavour Mining, Edison Investment Research. Note: *Q118 restated to reflect Tabakoto as a ‘discontinued operation’. Company reported basis. **Edison estimate.

The positive variance in the interest expense relative to our prior expectation could be principally attributed to the capitalisation of interest associated with the financing of the Ity CIL project ahead of commercial production (which was declared on 8 April – approximately one quarter ahead of schedule). Otherwise, it should be apparent that both the tax charge and the minority interest charge during the quarter were anomalous and not reflective of the commercial realities of Endeavour’s commercial environment.

In general, Q119 was characterised by the use of low-grade stockpiles to temporarily supplement plant feed at the same time as mining focused on waste capitalisation activities at each of Endeavour’s three remaining continuing operations. In addition, mining was temporarily constrained to low-grade areas of the North Pit and West Pit 3 at Agbaou while, at Houndé, unit processing costs increased by 4.0%, quarter-on-quarter, owing to a higher proportion of fresh ore milled as the mine plan shifted to focus on the Vindaloo Main and Central pits. Mining unit costs similarly rose, by 34.1%, quarter-on-quarter, at Karma, owing to the mining of deeper and more transitional material in the Kao pit.

FY19 cost and production guidance and Edison forecasts

Historically, Endeavour has a good record of meeting its production and cost guidance targets. For FY19, these are as follows (cf Edison’s updated forecasts):

To all intents and purposes, the Ity CIL project has now reached full capacity and will make a full contribution to earnings in Q219. During the remainder of the year, the high-grade Bouéré deposit is expected to be commissioned at Houndé. While the proportion of fresh ore processed at Houndé is thus anticipated to rise to in excess of 30% (from c 20%) in the interim, it will reduce in Q4, before increasing once again in 2020 as mining at both Vindaloo and Bouéré transition to deeper levels. Given exploration success at Houndé and its increasing reserve and resource profile, management has confirmed that a review of the plant will be conducted during Q319 with a view to increasing its capacity. Otherwise, pre-stripping is expected to be completed at Karma in Q219, after which the operation will benefit from the stacking of oxide ore once again from the North Kao pit.

Compared with our previous forecasts, the only noteworthy changes to our operating forecasts for Q2–Q419 relate to the assumed gold price in Q2 (now US$1,283/oz cf US$1,318/oz previously) and the grade of ore processed at Agbaou (now 1.67g/t cf 1.80g/t previously). Within this context, our financial forecasts for Endeavour for FY19, by quarter, are as follows:

Readers are cautioned that forecasting on a quarterly basis is prone to large variations between actual and forecast numbers (as demonstrated, not least, by the variances observed between Q1a and Q1e in Exhibit 1). To this end, it is worth noting that the top end of Endeavour’s production guidance is 60.9koz gold above our forecast for the year, which is worth a material US$78.1m in additional revenue to the company (at the current spot price of gold of US$1,282/oz) for a potentially negligible incremental cost and therefore has the ability to more than double Endeavour’s profit before tax in the year relative to our forecasts above. In addition, as in FY18, a degree of seasonality may be expected between Q319 and Q419, which has not been taken into consideration at this stage. As such, the exhibit above should be regarded as more indicative than prescriptive with respect to the individual quarters. Within that context, however, the table above nevertheless demonstrates the effects of a number of anticipated operating developments over the course of the year, including:

■

the processing of low-grade stockpiles at Karma in H1;

■

production from the higher-grade Bouéré pit at Houndé in H2; and

■

the start of commercial production from the Ity CIL project in Q2.

By contrast, to date, we have given no credit to Endeavour’s plan to increase the Ity CIL plant nameplate capacity by 1Mtpa to 5Mtpa (which is a major factor in the difference between the maximum and minimum levels within its production guidance range). These plant upgrades are expected to be completed during scheduled maintenance shut-downs over the next six months. However, should the process be completed by the end of Q3, then we estimate that it would have the potential to increase quarterly Ity CIL production from 55.3koz to 69.1koz in Q4 and group adjusted net earnings attributable (see Exhibit 3, above) from 15.6c per share to 22.9c per share.

Valuation

Endeavour is a multi-asset company that has shown a willingness and desire to trade assets to maintain production, reduce costs and maximise returns to shareholders (eg the sale of Youga in FY16, Nzema in FY17 and Tabakoto in FY18). Rather than our customary method of discounting maximum potential dividends over the life of operations back to FY19, therefore, we have opted to discount potential cash flows back over four years from end-FY18 and then to apply an ex-growth terminal multiple of 10x (consistent with using a standardised discount rate of 10%) to forecast cash flows in that year (ie FY22). In the normal course of events, exploration expenditure would be excluded from such a calculation on the basis that it is an investment. In the case of Endeavour, however, we have included it in our estimate of FY22 cash flows on the grounds that it may be a critical component of ongoing business performance in its ability to continually expand and extend the lives of the company’s assets.

In the wake of its Q119 results, however, our estimate of Endeavour’s cash flow in FY22 remains effectively unchanged, at US$3.26 per share (cf US$3.29/share previously – but only on account of the increase in the number of shares in early 2019), on which basis our terminal valuation of the company at end-FY22 is US$32.58/share (cf US$32.93/share previously), which (in conjunction with forecast intervening cash flows) discounts back to a value of US$27.58/share at the start of FY19 (cf US$27.91/share previously).

Financials

Endeavour had US$615.3m in net debt (including restricted cash) on its balance sheet at end-Q119 (vs US$517.5m at end-Q4, US$509.2m at end-Q3 and US$399.9m at end-Q218), after US$103.9m in capex during the quarter (vs US$87m in Q4 and US$110.8m in capex in Q318). This level of net debt equates to a gearing (net debt/equity) ratio of 72.4% (vs 60.3% at end-Q4 and 52.1% at end-Q3) and leverage (net debt/[net debt + equity]) ratio of 42.0% (vs 37.6% at end-Q4 and 34.3% at end-Q3). Note that US$615.3m accords with Endeavour’s Q119 financial statements; it differs from the figure of US$635m quoted in some of the company’s other materials because the formal accounting treatment of the finance leases on the balance sheet in particular requires future cash flows to be discounted back to present value – whereas the higher figure is quoted on an undiscounted basis. In addition, the higher figure does not include restricted cash.

With capital expenditure relating to the Ity CIL project now having been, to all intents and purposes, completed, Endeavour has no major capex commitments in the future until the development of Kalana. After one further quarter of outflows in Q219, therefore, we estimate that cash flows will revert to the strongly positive in H219, such that, overall in FY19, they will be close to break-even, such that we are forecasting that Endeavour will have net debt of c US$531.9m as at end-FY19 (cf US$528.7m previously), which will equate to a gearing ratio of 61.0% (cf 60.6% previously) and a leverage ratio of 37.9% (cf 37.7% previously). Thereafter, net debt should decline rapidly such that we estimate the company will be net debt-free in early FY22 (notwithstanding capex related to the Kalana project), at which point it will potentially be able to make dividend distributions to shareholders.
