Change of Forecasts
TGK-1
9mo18 IFRS; profits on track, dividends not in sight
TGK1 released its 9mo18 IFRS results on 7 November. Net income gained 26% YoY, slightly beating our estimates, albeit growing at a slowed pace. The financials suggested that TGK1 is not preparing for a 50% dividend payout, taking into account the cash balances and accelerated deleveraging. We have updated our model and rolled it forward into 2019F, taking a closer look at the 2019 outlook, which suggests a profitability plateau for the company in coming years. Along with stability, but no growth, in profitability metrics, we forecast a 6-7% dividend yield at a 25% dividend payout that is unlikely to change, in our view. We believe that this is subpar. Thus, we do not see any shortterm triggers that could immediately cause the stock to rerate. Our unchanged 12-month Target Price of RUB 0.013 implies an ETR of 54%. Buy reiterated.
9mo18 – 26% bottom line gain exceeds expectations. TGK1’s 9mo18 numbers were another set of financials to show decent profitability growth. The company’s top line was RUB 63,494mn, up 6% YoY on the production results, export operations and capacity payments. There were no surprises reported on the costs side, and accounting for accelerated cost growth, adj. EBITDA increased only slightly YoY, to RUB 16,202mn, 5% above our expectations due to higher revenues. However, because TGK1 continues to record a sharp moderation of finance costs (with total debt reduction of 43% from the end of 2017), net income still jumped 26% YoY to RUB 8,548mn, albeit with the rate of increases slowing from 1H18.
Short-term outlook implies stability, but almost no growth. For most of the companies in the sector, the period of high double-digit profitability growth has already passed – and TGK1 is no exception, after having posted cumulative 39% growth of EBITDA in 2015-2017 and 17% only in 2017. In FY18, we forecast a 1% YoY slide and only marginal gains in the next two years, implying that TGK1 has reached its profitability plateau, which we expect to slide as early as in 2021F. Although, this profitability alone would be sufficient to justify a substantially higher valuation, the reluctance of Gazprom as controlling shareholder to step up its dividend policy from the current 25% is unfavorable for the investment case, in our view.
Buy maintained. We update our model for the released production results and financial data, incorporate updated economic forecasts and modernisation expectations, along with rolling the model forward into 2019. We continue to rate the stock as a Buy with a 12-month target price of RUB 0.013 and ETR of 54%.

Company description
TGK 1 produces electricity and heat in NorthWest Russia (St Petersburg and the Leningrad region, as well as the Karelia and Murmansk regions). It owns 55 power plants with a total capacity of 6.9GW of electric and 14,362GCal/h of heat. TGK 1 is the only TGK with notable hydro assets (46% and 50% based on capacity and production, respectively). Gazprom is TGK 1's controlling shareholder, with 52% ownership. Another 26% is owned by Fortum. One of the key risks for the company is a potential sale of hydro assets to either Fortum or RusHydro (both have expressed interest). However, at the current stage the potential sale has a low chance of going through given i) comments by Gazprom that there are no negotiations taking place and ii) the high valuation demanded by Gazprom at the level of EM peers, which would be unlikely to be paid, in our view.

9mo18 results summary
TGK1’s 9mo18 IFRS results again delivered on profit growth – though at a decelerated rate. However, they still came slightly above of our estimates. Revenue of RUB 63,494mn, implied a 6% increase, 1% higher than our estimates. Adjusted EBITDA added 1% YoY to RUB 16,202mn, 5% higher than our estimates, while net income, due to the reduction of finance expenses, grew 26% YoY to RUB 8,548mn.

Short-term outlook
TGK1 will next year operate in a business-as-usual environment, in our view. We expect both stable EBITDA and net profit as company remains a beneficiary of its strong operational numbers, DPM revenues and the favourable economics of its hydro capacity. In such environment, cost control and the electricity market price outlook gain importance; however, we question the extent to which the company can alter the investment outlook on the stock.
Thus, in 2019F, we forecast a 1% YoY increase in adjusted EBITDA vs. a 6% net income slide to RUB 9,105mn.

2020F could depict a slightly more positive meaningful improvement, with 7% YoY adjusted EBITDA growth; however, we forecast that the company’s active deleveraging will lead to higher upside on net income, with a 13% YoY increase to RUB 10,322mn. At the same time, even with this bottom line improvement, the dividend yield might stand at 7.5%, along with 24% FCF yield and an 11% FCFE yield.

Long-term drivers
In the longer-term, we estimate that TGK1 requires far less modernisation capex (RUB 31.4bn for 918MW of capacity) due to the limited amount of its capacity that could qualify for DPM-2. Taking into account that the company’s DPM-1 is set to start to phase out only from 2021F, TGK1 is much more well positioned to overcame any financing hardships. Thus, first company’s DPMs would reduce to RUB 10bn, then RUB 7bn in 2022F and reach RUB 3-4bn in the next six years. At the same time, the maximum DPM-2 contribution could be RUB 4,980mn, representing 20% of EBITDA, compared to the maximum DPM contribution being almost twofold higher.

Thus, in contrast to Mosenergo (another subsidiary of Gazprom Energoholding), TGK1 does not require any borrowing for modernisation and, on our estimates, along a step by step debt reduction path, TGK1 could reach -0.1x net debt/EBITDA by 2021F at a 25% dividend payout only, despite the company’s hefty 21% FCFF yield. The dividend yields throughout the investment cycle could stand at 4% to 8%, with meaningful growth only in 2026F when, at 25% TGK1, could start to deliver doubledigit 11%+ dividend yields. Moreover, we see sufficient room for dividend upside on back of a higher payout, but refrain from making it the base case, considering the reluctance of the controlling shareholder to significantly step up dividend payments.
