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.
