Australian Gold Miners Wholesale earnings upgrades Event

We have upgraded our earnings forecasts and price targets for the Australian

Gold Miners after incorporating our new A$/U$ forecasts. Our currency

changes drive substantial earnings uplifts but the spot gold price represents

significant downside risk to our valuations.

Impact

Cuts to A$ drive earnings upgrades: Macquarie’s economics team has

made some material cuts to our exchange rate forecasts. Our A$/US$

forecasts fall 4% in FY15 and 13% in FY16, while our long-term rate declines

6% from 0.87 to 0.82. See The Global Outlook - The never-ending liquidity

story for more detail.

Positive earnings impact but modest TP upgrades: Incorporating our new

A$/US$ forecasts has had a materially positive impact on earnings. We have

taken the opportunity to mark-to-market precious metals for the 3QFY15 and

this has offset earnings upside in FY15 for most companies. Our earnings

upgrades from FY16 are wide ranging. We upgrade earnings for NCM 53% in

FY16e and 44% in FY17e with the larger mid-cap gold producers upgraded by

a similar quantum. Despite our earnings upgrades, upgrades to our target

prices and recommendations are modest. A number of our target prices

remain unchanged, in general reflecting the already substantial upside implied

from current share prices. Our target prices for NCM rises 5% to $15/sh and

NST increases 18% from $2.00/sh to $2.35/sh. Target price for IGO, RRL,

EVN, SAR, GOR, MML and SLR all rise by 6% to 9%.

Currency drops the free cash flow breakeven point: Under our new

currency forecasts all but PRU and SLR are US$ free cash flow breakeven

and the current US$ spot price. NCM and AQG remain the most robust

operators with the mid-tier producers all breakeven below US$850/oz, IGO

however is hampered by its nickel exposure. We note that a 10% change in

the A$/US$ exchange rate moves the free cash flow breakeven gold price for

A$ producers buy almost $100/oz.

Material downside to all our valuations at spot gold price: Our

commodity team maintains its longer-term positive outlook for gold, despite

the potential for ongoing price volatility in the near term. However, the current

A$ spot gold price of A$1,530/oz (US$1,170/oz, AUDUSD 0.77) still

represents material downside to most of our valuations. At spot our valuation

of NCM falls ~30% to A$10.85 with other valuations falling as much as ~70%.

Outlook

Maintain overweight stance on A$ gold: We continue to be overweight

gold with 11 of the 18 gold stocks under coverage rated as Outperform. Of

the producers our key picks in the sector are EVN for the scale of its

consistent +400koz production profile, RRL which we continue to believe has

been oversold, SAR for the upside potential in the Thunderbox development,

BDR for its exposure to both the declining Brazilian Real and A$ and DRM

which we believe has conquered the dilution issues at Andy Well and has an

attractive development option at Deflector. Our key developer pick remains

GOR with its substantial Gruyere project and significant exploration upside.

Key changes to exchange rate forecasts

Macquarie’s economics team has made a number of changes to its exchange rate forecasts. Our

A$/US$ forecasts have fallen by 4% in FY15, 13% in FY16 and 6-10% from then on. For more

detail on our FX changes see our Economics team note The Global Outlook - The never-ending

liquidity story.

Changes to earnings and valuations

Incorporating our new A$/US$ forecasts has had a materially positive impact on earnings. We

have taken the opportunity to mark-to-market all base and precious metals for the 3QFY15 and

this has offset earnings upside in FY15 for most companies. Our earnings upgrades from FY16

are wide ranging. US$ denominated AQG and MML are the only stocks for which our earnings

are unchanged. Outside of these upgrades range from ~25% to ~250% for marginal producer

PRU.

We upgrade earnings for NCM 53% in FY16e and 44% in FY17e with the larger mid-cap gold

producers upgraded by a similar quantum. BDR’s earnings also benefit from depreciation in the

Brazilian Real with a sustained 54% to 77% upgrade to earning between FY16e and FY19e. More

leveraged stock such as KCN, PRU and SLR achieve higher percentage changes although actual

earnings moves are modest. TRY’s earnings forecast suffers the largest fall in FY15 and muted

upgrades from FY16 due to a mark to market for silver and a change in our forecast silver to gold

ratio from 67:1 to 73:1 in FY16 and FY17.

Despite our earnings upgrades, upgrades to our target prices and recommendations are modest.

A number of our target prices remain unchanged, in general reflecting the already substantial

upside implied from current share prices. Our target prices for NCM rises 5% to $15/sh and NST

increases 18% from $2.00/sh to $2.35/sh. Target price upgrades for IGO, RRL, EVN, SAR, GOR,

MML and SLR, all rise by 6% to 9%.

TRY is the only stock for which we have downgraded our target price which falls to $0.60/sh from

$0.72/sh due to the changes we have made to our silver forecast for the company. PRU is the

only recommendation change that we make, upgrading the stock from Neutral to Outperform

based on the substantial upside to our valuation; we note however that there is significant

downside to PRU at spot gold as is the case with many other stocks in our coverage universe.

Currency drops the free cash flow breakeven point

Under our new currency forecasts all but PRU and SLR are US$ free cash flow breakeven at the

current US$ spot price. NCM and AQG remain the most robust with the mid-tier producers all

breakeven below US$450/oz, IGO however is hampered by its nickel exposure. We note that a

10% change in the A$/US$ exchange rate moves the free cash flow breakeven gold price for A$

producers buy almost $100/oz.

Material downside to all our valuations at spot gold price

Our commodity team maintains its longer-term positive outlook for gold, despite the potential for

ongoing price volatility in the near term. In conjunction with the changes in our A$ exchange rate

we now forecast the A$ gold price peaking at A$2,000/oz in 3Q2016.

Fig 5 Our A$ gold forecast achieves A$2,000/oz 3Q2016

Source: Macquarie Research, March 2015

However, the current A$ spot gold price of A$1,530/oz (US$1,170/oz, AUDUSD 0.77) still

represents material downside to most of our valuations. At spot our valuation of NCM falls ~30%

to A$10.85, again IGO is impacted by its base metal exposure which compounds it downside at

spot to ~60%. Sensitivity to spot price valuations increases for the more marginal producers with

~60%-70% downside to KCN, PRU and AMI.
