canada goose outlet nyc The Stable Outlook reflects our view that Uralkali financial metrics will improve from the current weak levels as a result of the group renewed focus on deleveraging. Management has made debt reduction a priority and publicly guided to a net debt to EBITDA target below 2.0x. This provides clarity on the new owners stance on shareholders returns and appetite for leverage and contrasts significantly with last year aggressive financial policies.

canada goose outlet parka Under our base case, Uralkali vertical integration and competitive cost base continue to translate into EBITDA margins around 50% through the buy canada goose jacket cycle. The group leading market and cost positions place it well to withstand the current weak pricing environment and its high profitability cushions it against the inherent demand volatility of the canada goose coats on sale potash market. Uralkali operations comprise of five ore mines and seven processing plants in Russia. In 2013, EBITDA was USD1.6bn on sales of USD3.3bn (47% margin) amid challenging market conditions. The break up of BPC resulted in intensifying competition on prices in late 2013 as Uralkali fought to regain lost market share. This was a stark departure from the canada goose uk black friday supply discipline that Canada Goose Outlet had characterised the market and underpinned the resilience of potash prices through the cycle. prices dropped to USD287/t in May, a level below the trough of the 2009 downturn.

canada goose outlet uk Uralkali seaborne contract to China, the floor for global prices, was set 24% below 2013 levels in January at USD305/t. In April, its 2014/2015 contract with India was at a seven year low at USD322/t (USD375/t in 2013). The group reported an increase in production to 6mt in 1H14 from 4.5mt in 1H13 but has reduced its guidance for 2014 to 11mt, from 12mt previously (10mt in 2013). While this could indicate that Canada Goose Parka supply discipline is returning to the industry, we expect the recovery to be slow. We assume that the group will continue to have access to the bank and debt capital markets to refinance maturing debt. In June, Uralkali signed a USD450m five year unsecured club facility with five international banks at Libor + 1.75%. FCF is forecast at around USD300m annually over 2014 2015. This assumes continuous investments towards capacity expansion with capex increasing to USD750m in 2016 from around USD500m in 2015, and dividend distributions in line with the group policy (50% of net income). canada goose outlet uk
