DekelOil Public Limited “Highly cash generative” says Beaufort Securities

DekelOil Public Limited, operator and 51% owner of the vertically integrated Ayenouan palm oil project in Côte d’Ivoire is pleased to provide a production update for the year ended 31 December 2015. Crude palm oil (CPO) production increased by 151% to 35,770 tonnes at the Company’s 60 t/hr CPO extraction Mill, one of West Africa’s largest. DekelOil also commenced first production and sales of Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) and Palm Kernel Cake (PKC) at the recently commissioned kernel crushing plant (the KCP).

  FY 2015 FY 2014 % Increase
CPO production (tonnes) 35,770 14,242 151%
CPO Sales (tonnes) 35,573 13,900 156%
Average CPO price per tonne €604 €647 -7%
Kernel production (tonnes) 6,221 2,504 148%
Kernel Sales (tonnes)* 4,806 2,444 97%
Average Kernel price per tonne €183 €183 nil
PKO production (tonnes)* 492 Nil
PKO Sales (tonnes)* 425 Nil
Average PKO price per tonne €743 Nil
PKC production (tonnes)* 712 Nil
PKC Sales (tonnes)* 417 Nil
Average PKC price per tonne €42 Nil

*Kernel Crushing facility commenced operations in November 2015. Kernel sales ceased and PKO and PKC sales commenced

  • FY 2015 CPO extracted at a rate of 23.6% during the period from 151,702 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) – compares favourably to other CPO extraction mills
  • 6,632 tonnes of CPO produced during Q4 2015 – 127% increase compared to Q4 2014
  • Strong local and regional demand has enabled DekelOil to sell its CPO at a premium to CIF Rotterdam prices. The Company expects this trend to continue and notes that international crude palm oil prices are beginning to improve as very low rainfall caused by a very significant El Nino impact in South East Asia during H2 2015 is resulting in lower production levels which are expected to continue into H1 2016.
  • KCP now fully commissioned with PKC and now PKO being produced and sold locally

Our view: 35,770 tonnes of CPO during what was the Mill’s first full year of operations is an excellent outcome. In our view this reflects the strong relationships DekelOil has established with local smallholders and also the effectiveness of the logistics network we have put in place in the surrounding area to facilitate the delivery of FFB to the Mill for processing.

In 2016 the Company will build on the success to date with CPO production expected to continue to grow, in addition to a ramp up in the production of PKO and PKC at the KCP and a higher proportion of FFB derived from their 1,900 hectares of mature company-owned estates. DekelOil say they are pleased with the on-going performance of the Mill and the extraction rate being achieved and believe the current PKO extraction rate of 37.45% should also improve materially as the newly established kernel crushing operations stabilise in 2016.

Together with the recently announced €5.1 million reduction in debt, the Company is on course to realise the highly cash generative potential of the vertically integrated project at Ayenouan. In line with their strategy, this will provide a strong platform from which to deliver on the Company’s objective and build a leading West African focused palm oil company. BUY
