Based on the link posted by Mcy56 (she leaked the forward documents not me incase you are prosecutor ), does this make sense? Am I missing something?

At the rate we are going Oando might not need to release any result again

Me i don permutate equity value (or na shareholder funds sef i no know)

Osita don do P&L

e remain who go do cashflow oooooooo



God is watching all of us

it is actually looking like signalling

Sunrisepebble:
Oil and Gas companies share price performance since BAT assumed office
Upstream
Seplat: +276%
Aradel: +4868%
Oando: +1,193

Downstream
Conoil: +218%
Total: +147%
Eterna: +328%
MRS: +225%

Hmmmm the percentage gain of Aradel is 4 times more than Oando. its okkkk

yMcy56:

Lol
See the valuation of your so called "Yahoo Oil"
I know you'll term it as media hype again....

"It has a Certified Professional Reserves Report (CPR) from D&M, the second largest in the world, which has also been auditing ENI/NAOC, Chevron, Shell and other oil Majors for decades.

With the CPR indicating Gross Recoverable 2p reserves on original 20 per cent Certificate of Proficiency (CoP) stake and new NAOC 20 per cent stake Net Present Value (NPV), (10 per cent is $2 billion respectively), total value of the company has now hit $4 billion, that is, before deduction of acquisition debt of the newly acquired company plus legacy debt.

When appropriate discounts are applied, including working capital, Actual Net Asset Value (NAV) of company, less all long term debt, equity value is about $3 billion."


so Oando don dey release result without releasing result hmmm na wa ooo

Net equity value of $3b (after deducting all debt/ liabilities) hmmmmm which equals N4.8 trillion

meaning at 12b outstanding shares equity value is N400/share

God is watching all of us on 5D


Is this signalling?

The only bank that paid 200k int.dividend is stanbic and it is trading for N57

it takes more than N2 dividend to trade at N57

Omooloriredade:


You mean some people saying Oando should focus on their upstream business and not dabble into a risky refinery business led to some others being discouraged and missing the rally? The same upstream business that was the catalyst for the rally?




https://nairametrics.com/2024/06/13/dangote-refinery-to-set-up-terminal-in-the-caribbean-for-export-of-petroleum-products/

This one?

In my opinion, still not the best move for Oando. Consolidate your Upstream business and clean up your books first. There is money to be made in Upstream liquids and Gas.

Oando is late to the party. Dangote has some positives - brand new refinery, latest technology, economies of scale, largest in the region. They will just be able to squeeze out their desired margin.

Sometimes it is better to buy a brand new car than buy a very old Mercedes benz. The benz might send you to an early grave.

Read this one too:
https://www.guardian.co.tt/business/petrotrin-refinery-attracts-nine-new-proposals-6.2.2051474.3eb2e1115c

Disclaimer - Please it's just my opinion. May be it's because I just find the refinery business too risky. Operations management must be best in class to make money.

you nailed it perfectly. Seems Wale had forgotten/ never learnt anything per his misadventure on Conoco (buying at the height of the market cycle/price with no operatorship included in the buy) which nearly sent him to oblivion, safe for the asset stripping he had to do to get some breather, all in a bid to feed personal EGO which was then (during conococ) Czar of African intergrated energy company which is now czar of African international IOC. May unneccessary ego never sent us to oblivion.

These UBA financials are not good at all. ROE down 8%, made huge derivative losses.

Hello Chief, Please point me to where the derivatives losses are, i can only see the net trading and foreign exchange gain of 98,179

But debt is not the biggest item in Uche's liabilities. But provisions for the school he opened with his side-chick to settle omo-onile as well as provision he made for removing his business when he retires. He infact has not spent the provision but set aside the money on paper. Yet his JV school and assets are generating surplus cash. He pays his bankers, employees and contractors as when due and still had surplus cash.

Uched has no need for recapitalization to run current business. He only needs more money to fund new diamond mining assets he just acquired.

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

I am loving this comic relief to the serious business of company valuation

mikeapollo:


The provisions are meant to provide required funds for the eventual decommissioning of the assets in future, even if in 20 years time from now.
It is an industry requirement or standard that players in the upstream sector must comply with, because the decommissioning costs can be very huge and it is better they make adequate provisions long before the actual time/year the costs are incurred or expended

meaning its not cash outflow yet? (please correct me if i am wrong). Hence it just an accounting treating like depreciation, which is only expended (becomes an outflow) when the actual event (decommissioning) happened, but it is yearly charged against profit?

BabsO2:


Oando had a negative SHF of N214b in unaudited 2023 from a priot year negative SHF of N183b. Its rate of depletion of shareholder funds decelerated in 2023. The depletion of shareholder funds started in 2019 with a huge acceleration.

Looking at SEPLAT. Its shareholder funds increased in 2023 by N800b

Oando should be able to get a positive SHF in 2024 mid year assuming its unaudited 2023 is not restated. This is premised on SEPLAT's SHF growing by another N1000b in the first six months of 2024. Turning a negative N214b shareholder's fund to positive right now should not be a beggie for OANDO. Otherwise it has very very very serious issues.

Too ambitious

Yemy3m:
Oando still in debt but income near double.
Result out soon.
Dnt sell.

Income as in PAT or Revenue?

Debt did it reduced or increase?

ololufemi:


That's what seems visible to all of us o! There are some people or a consortium out there with deep pockets buying these shares up at every slight opportunity they have. 🤔

When the story of shares being purchased with deep pockets are told, Oando don show say levels pass levels o! It could even be transactions are being done to take control of the company sef. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Third time touching full offer in a single day

would it survive it??

KarlTom:
If you get BIG liver, you can still enter OandO...

i think it is moving towards a price when some VERY HEAVY CROSS DEAL would be done

what that Price is, is what i dont know (someone mentioned 94 as magic number here about a week ago when it was around 70ish)

mikeapollo:


Does that mean that Oando would have paid cash of about $583m for the ENI deal?

i mean real price / value could have been $900-$1b and the 783 paid was net of the pending judgement debt of >$200m.

$900-$1b looks more near to real price/ value if you consider what other oil major divestment figures were (including oando/ conoco)

Raider76:
Oando traded 93.8m shares worth N6.8b. Clearly institutional buyers at play. Probably Wale himself was buying.

hmmmmm Jite (Notore) that used to be the 3rd leg of the famous Ocean and Oil three musketeers just collected (within last 2-3 weeks) $150m for sell of 60% stake in Notore with management of Notore also relinquished in that sale.

could he be teaming up back with the remaining two musketeers?

hmmm $150m = N225b

KarlTom:
I dropped the ENI FY20323 report here some days ago (I will search for it again).
I asked myself the bolded and took time to search for answers...

NB: Mobil, Shell and co are also selling some of their assets.
I will bring this up again AFTER the deals are completed...

I am in the industry...

You dont need to go too far. check the notes to the last FY report published by oando and you would see that oando and naoc were already in arbitration for a judgement debt of over >$200m which is heavily tilted in favour of oando (such that naoc had to quickly get an appeal against enforcement) the Oando-Naoc deal is subsequent to that judgement. the deal was to be settled net of the judgement debt (this is also in the notes in the same financial report).

Pesuzok:


Afreximbank that gave a loan of $650m did not look at the past performance of Oando aka FA, rather the future potential. A lot of people missed Oando because they were judging the company based on its past.

Oando is now the operator of the upstream assets and are already taking the bull by the horn with fantastic projections based on a presentation they did yesterday.

It's still not too late to enter for those still interested.

Grateful if you can share the presentation (the bolded)

Streetinvestor2:
The bank does not own the money in question. It is shareholders fund.And the senerio you painted is different

No mind Oga Hog he is just trying to rationalise a clear wrong decision/ policy from the govt for reason best known to him.

He even said the gain is from "forex sharp practices" and i wonder if the industry has any regulator and if so, what was the regulator doing by condoning sharp practices that yielded in excess of 3 trillion, yet no licence was revoked for the sharp practices.

if it stand and is fully implemented then it is clearly an expropriation (which is a good euphemism for collecting something with force) and not a taxation.

Because with taxation you know before you do the business and not after, i guess that is why finance / appropriation bill comes at the start of a fiscal cycle and not at the end of it.

This whole issue on Dangote is shocking and creating bad waves for Nigeria globally. - Akinwunmi Adesina

Monopoly often exists where there are high barriers to entry or high capital costs.

How many individuals or companies can do railways? How many can do refineries of the scale of Dangote Refineries?

In a nation that has been importing refined petroleum products for several decades, the abnormal simply became very normal.

No smart investor would make a $19.5 billion investment and want it to be undermined by importers.

To manufacture is extremely expensive and risky. This is even more so in Nigeria, given the very challenging business and economic environment, fraught with policy uncertainties and policy reversals, and where the self-defeating default mode of “simply import it” is always so easily rationalized and chorused to solve any problem.

Competition is good for everyone. But is Dangote refineries anti-competitive? What is the evidence?

Has Dangote refineries prevented any other company from setting up refineries? Why have others not done so? How come they have not done so for several decades? Was it Dangote that held them back?

But Dangote refineries surely cannot be asked to ‘compete’ with importers of petroleum products.

That is not competition. Let the importers set up local refineries and compete by refining in Nigeria. That is fair and justified competition.

We cannot and must not undermine, disparage or kill local industries, talk less of one that is of this scale — a jewel of industrialisation in Nigeria.

It is more than simply delivering the cheapest product to the market. It is about domestic supply security, driving (and yes, protecting) globally competitive industries, maximizing forward and backward linkages in the local economy, job creation, reducing forex expenses and shoring up the Naira.

We must not be myopic.

This whole disparaging of Dangote is uncalled for. It is self-defeating. And it is very bad for Nigeria. Who will want to come and invest in a country that disparages and undermines its own largest investor?

Investing is tough. Pettiness is easy.

It sadly sends a signal that the price for sacrificing for Nigeria is to get sacrificed.

Just finished my research. Summary: Not worth it. It’s illiquid in JSE. Just 20k units traded on average, so can’t find units to buy

Hello Bovali.

would you be kind to enumerate/educate on what the process looks like. you never can say when a worthwhile arbitrage would come up on any of the dual listed companies (Seplat/Airtel or Oando).

Agbalowomeri:


Sure the Forex gains are baked in for this financial year. What happens next financial year? It's more like a one-off and not sustainable. That's why you don't see the price flying through the roof. Again, they are not allowed to pay dividends with the Forex gains and dividend is the major propeller of banks price appreciation.

On the technical angle, NGSEBNK10 is bearish with formation of lower highs and lower lows on the daily and weekly. Also the daily candles are playing below the Ichimoku clouds.

However, there is a recent volume spike and if NGSEBNK10 could break above the 860 region, we might witness a trend reversal. So, overall I am bearish on the banks.

Ahh talk too much. I dey my house dey sip my garri ijebu.

Oga Agba let me play the devil advocate on the fundamental part of your above thesis (i would leave the technical side to the in house expert like BullBearMarket and others)

Considering that the FX gain are baked in this year (just like last year also, i.e. two year running now) and that the regulator is not allowing distribution from it, do you think those gains would be idle in the books / operations of the banks. E.g would the about a trillion FX gain by UBA (2023&2024 inclusive) be lying down idle (considering its not allowed to be distributed) or it would be employed for further gain like all other capital in its arsenal. if employed for further gain wont that be impacting the bottomline going forward? let assume at current risk free rate of at least 20% as is currently isn't that an extra 200billion impacting the bottom-line going forward for UBA as an example (it would be practically the same for all other banks)?.

Omooloriredade:


It was in reference to OP's opinion of an offer price (N30 - N35). My point was that UBA will not tap the market for funds at a price higher than the prevailing market price on the NGX. Discounts will always be offered to attract investors. So not sure why he believes the price will be in that range except he also believes the price on the floor or bvps will be much higher than it is today when that time comes to raise funds in any combination of options available at their disposal.

All in my opinion.

Thanks

This is normal legal finance talk. Nothing genius about it. I suggest you don't read too much into it. ALL banks will do the same. It's not about Tony.

Read note 9 of GT notice of AGM too. Any other bank notices that doesn't include book building doesn't mean they won't do it. It's just normal if you have a whole array of options for capital raising. Price discovery mechanism to be adopted won't be uniform across these avenues or platforms. Make no mistake about it though, a public offer on the NGX won't be at a premium.

Hello Chief, can you please explain / expatiate on the bolded.

Tony is smart. Book building strategy is fantastic. Probably eyes fixed on an offer bid prices in the range of N30-35 judging by the new shares tabled (but a higher cut off is still possible) to raise the extra capital. He only needs to show that UBA can sustain a dividend policy above N3.00 yearly after recapitalization to achieve good uptake/bids. He has my respect 🫡 . He probably has a foreign underwriter. On this route, UBA should meet recapitalization in weeks or a couple of months. This is a clear pointer to a fantastic Q1 result. No one does this without good sure back up. Q1 results would probably come in right after closure of register to give wind to the sails of this option.

Hello Chief. Please can you share the document you are referring to in your write up? the document cannot be found in the link. Appr8

If he wanted, he would have done it long time ago the way Ardova did. I think he needed the drama to tidy the results up. You might not be far from the truth, he wanted to turn a new leave now. Oando remains a stock to watch, but one has to know dinning with Oando is like dinning with the ....

"I think he needed the drama to tidy the results up" == in hindisght (20/20), this is looking more like the intention.


"You might not be far from the truth, he wanted to turn a new leave now"== i would not bet on this, i would rather say my goals are aligned with his. the day that goals does not align again you would really understand that he has not turn any new leave (or tree)

WT like most (if not all) Nigeria big man are driven by ego (forbes thing e.t.c.) so you can be rest assured since they are in government that would be on his top radar also. so Oando might not be going anywhere, might even witness a lot of pumping once the AFS are sound enough i.e. post release of AFS for 2022 and 2023 FY

( i am seeing/dreaming something like the AP / Otedola saga from sub 10 to over 300)

chillykelly86:


The CBN is in order not to allow banks use forex revaluation gains to pay dividends or for opex. It should be in a reserve account. This is because the exchange rate is not fixed and when naira stengthens, such reserves will come in handy to avoid rocking the boat. It's still part of equity and can be used to make money but shouldn't be seen as profits attributable to stakeholders.

for me the bolded is the key, imagine 500bn revaluation gain from UBA being invested in TB at current rate of over 20%, that is an assured 100bn profit for 2024 FY without any cost involve (no depositor to pay interest on the capital because it is part of equity)
