Acquisition of 5.85% interest in ViOil (Feb 2019)
◼ Kernel acquired 5.85% interest in ViOil Holding Ltd and entered into a The start of long-term cooperation with reputable international financial
customary shareholder agreement in relation to ViOil with other shareholders institutions demonstrates Kernel transparency and high standards of
of ViOil. corporate governance.
◼ ViOil assets: two multi-seed oil-extraction plants with annual crushing
capacity of 1.1 million tons of sunflower seeds and a network of silos in
Western Ukraine.
◼ Rationale: initial step towards a possible future consolidation of major
Western Ukraine competitor in crushing business.
◼ FY2020 sunflower seed acreage remained relatively the same as y-o-y as temporary weakness in global sunflower oil prices observed throughout
FY2019 discouraged farmers to further increase planting areas;
Oilseed ◼ The most recent field data make us expect sunflower seed harvest in Ukraine at 15.2 million tons in FY2020, flat y-o-y, securing strong supply of
Processing seeds in the market;
◼ Competitive landscape is not expected to change. Low margin environment prohibits further investments in the sector keeping the aggregate oilseed
processing capacities at 18.5 million tons in Ukraine;
◼ Global sunflower oil prices recovered at the beginning of the FY2020 season, creating a momentum for the improvement of crushing margins;
◼ We expect over US$ 6m EBITDA contribution from cogeneration heat and power plants to be commissioned in FY2020.
◼ Grain harvest in Ukraine is envisaged to reach 75 million tons compared to 70 million tons last year, assuring robust supply of feedstock;
◼ We expect to originate over 11 million tons of grain and oilseed in FY2020, up 20% y-o-y-y (including crops harvested by our farming business) and
export over 8 million tons of grain and oilseeds from Ukraine in FY2020 as a result of:
Infrastructure
& Trading – Commissioning of our brand-new TransGrainTerminal in the port of Chornomorsk with aggregate 4 million tons of annual transshipment
capacity, with over 7 million tons of grains throughput targeted in FY2020 by TransBulkTerminal and TransGrainTerminal facilities;
– Commissioning of two new silos and upgrade of several other silos, completed at the end of FY2019;
– Full-season use of grain railcar fleet acquired in February 2019. We expect to transport 6.7 million tons of cargo (grains, oilseeds, sunflower
meal) in FY2020 by our wagons.
◼ Profitability-wise, we expect flat margins in grain export operations and infrastructure businesses.
