Beach Energy's LNG Swaps Create Material Headwind -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

5 hours ago

0039 GMT - Morgans frets about Beach Energy's liquefied natural gas swaps from its Waitsia Stage 2 project in Australia. Morgans says these arrangements present a material headwind to future earnings. Beach has delivered around 11 LNG cargoes so far. Of these, some 70% were fulfilled via swap arrangements and third-party purchases, rather than equity production. These volumes must be returned to counterparties roughly evenly over the next three years, analyst Adrian Prendergast says. "We estimate this creates A$150 million per annum of Waitsia production delivered with zero revenue recognition," Morgans says. "Cumulative net profit impact is A$200 million-A$250 million over three years, or 20% downside to current consensus if captured." Morgans downgrades Beach to trim, from hold.
