YANSAB: Q2-2016 earnings came above our expectation with a positive surprise for second consecutive quarter.

Forecasts 2Q-16 1,577.7 375.1 0.67
Actual 2Q-16 1,900.08 689.3 0.71
Deviation (%) 20.4% 83.7%
Higher than expected operating rate; along with higher production efficiencies contributes to strong performance in 2Q2016: 2Q2016 net profit came significantly above our estimates, and the market consensus of SAR 433.3mn. YANSAB posted net income of SAR 689.3mn; indicating an increase of 203.1%YoY and 71.5%QoQ. The company attributed the YoY stronger profitability to i) the increase in volumetric production and sales due to the completion of maintenance during 2Q-2015. ii) higher other incomes. iii) the reduction in some of feedstock prices, and despite lower average sales prices for majority of the products. We believe that despite the weak average product prices, the higher than expected sales volume and product spreads have strongly revived the financial earnings in 2Q2016.

Based on our estimates, Yansab continued operating at high operating rate of 113.1% that is higher than our expectation of 101.5%.

2,591mn in net income (4.60 EPS) for 2016, recording an increase of 114.6%YoY for the year that mainly attributed to higher efficiencies after scheduled maintenance during 2015, and despite impacted by higher electricity cost and low level in product price. We update our recommendation to “Overweight” for the stock with higher target price at SAR 48.10/share; indicating a potential upside of 10.6% over current market price of SAR 43.50/ share (as of 24 July 2016). The company is trading at a forward PE and P/B of 9.64x and 1.54x respectively based on our 2016 earnings forecast. We expect the company to raise dividend payment to SAR 3.0/share (6.8% D/Y) in 2016 and over the next two years owing to a strong operating cash flow and no additional capital expenditure in the near to medium term.

Yansab reports high gross margin of 41.9%; however the current spreads seem unsustainable after grace period: The company benefitted from the high spreads across products, where the increase in profit was primarily ascribed to some high product margins. In 2Q2016, Saudi propane prices rose only by 7.4%QoQ to an average price of USD 325 Per MT. However, polypropylene prices increased more by 13.5%QoQ. Consequently, lower increase in propane price than propylene prices led to expansion in PP-Propane spreads in 2Q2016. PP-Propane spread expanded 13.9%QoQ to USD 714/ton. Yansab is projected to continue to benefit from higher spreads across products in the short-term. However, in the medium to long term, the current spreads seem unsustainable and is likely to narrow further after 2Q2016 with the new pricing of propane and after FY2016 with the new pricing of Ethane.

Gross profit stood at SAR 795.2mn depicting an increase of 113.2%YoY and 52.5%QoQ. Gross margin expanded in 2Q2016 to 41.9% vs. 34.9% in 1Q2016 and 23.9% in 2Q2015, which we believe was due to i) high production efficiency ii) lower increase in some feedstock (propane) compared to its derivatives that revived spreads. Operating Profit stood at SAR 738mn depicting an increase of 133.3%YoY, and 55.8%QoQ; where the company recorded higher OPEX (SG & A) at SAR 57.2mn, as compared to SAR 47.5mn in Q1-2016 and SAR 56.6mn in 2Q2015.
