Mriya Too sweet to be true
Low quality of earnings: 42% of revenues and 45% of EBITDA in 2011 came from sugar beet sales to related parties at USD 73/t vs. our calculation of market average price of USD 45/t. Sugar beet production costs per ha were 1.8x below those Astarta reports, which we find hard to believe
The sugar price drop in 2011/12 vs. 2010/11 (USD 525-660 vs. USD 830-1,000) should lead to lower earnings from sugar beets in 2012, unless the company sells to related parties at a price which implies booking losses at related parties-?
Overly aggressive CapEx in greenfield silos does not pay back, in our view: we estimate Mriya`s average selling prices only 5% above Ukraine`s average in 2011 and 12% less in 2010, sugar beets excluded
Highest land lease rights acquisition costs among public farmers: USD 1,500/ha in 2011 vs. USD 250-1,050/ha paid by other farmers
