· Q3 Broker consensus vs. actuals
Endeavour Mining just published Q3-2021 results. The press release is quite lengthy, below is a quick digest.
› Positioned to beat full-year production guidance of 1,365-1,495koz within the guided AISC range of $850-900/oz; which would mark the ninth consecutive year of meeting guidance.
· Healthy balance sheet with Net Debt reduced to $70m despite having returned $105m to shareholders during Q3-2021; Net Debt to EBITDA leverage ratio stands as near zero
· Continued strong focus on shareholder returns with $224m paid year to date
› As a reminder, dividend strategy is to distribute at least $500m over the next three years, with supplemental returns by way of additional dividends and buybacks if the gold price prevails above US$1,500/oz and leverage remains below 0.5x Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA
› Paid H1-2021 interim dividend of $70m during the quarter, which is over half the FY-2021 minimum dividend, demonstrating commitment to paying supplemental returns over the fixed minimum
› Completed $35m of buybacks during the quarter; a total of $94m of buybacks have now been completed since the start of the program in April
