Coronado Global Resources Inc. (ASX:CRN)

Coronado Global caught investors eye at Goldman Sachsâ Mining and Metals Conference after the company pitched its expectation of 27.5% rise in FY19 earnings.

The Group stated that its FY19 earnings before interest tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is forecasted to increase by 27.5% to US$737 million. Cost efficiencies drive the earnings growth guidance at Curragh, higher realised pricing and expected increase in sales tonne from 20.9Mt in FY2018 to 21.5 Mt in FY2019.

Further, the company expects its free cashflow to increase to US$347 million in FY2019 on the back of higher operating cashflow which offsets an increase in capital expenditure. Based on this, the company targets dividend policy to distribute between 60% to 100% of free cash flow post FY2019. Moreover, the company intends to pay out 100% of free cash flow relating to the period from Settlement to 31 December 2019.

Coronado positioned as a largest US met coal producer by production volume mainly exports its coal production to steelmakers across Europe, South America and Asia. Currently, the company is witnessing a strong coal market fundamental. It is primarily because Spot Queenslandâs Hard Coking Coal (HCC) coal price of US$220/t is higher than the Companyâs Queensland HCC price forecasts for FY2019 by approximately US$44/t.

In Australia, the company expects to achieve higher average realised pricing per tonne on the back of significant blending opportunities. Therefore, the company expects its EBITDA margin to grow by approximately 24% from FY2018 to FY2019.

In todayâs morning session, Coronado stock traded at higher price level of $3.18 before concluding its day at $3.050, down 0.327% as on 29 November 2018.
