Dividend Declared

On July 20, 2018, Apple Hospitality announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.10 per common share for the month of August 2018. The distribution is payable on August 15, 2018, to shareholders of record as of August 02, 2018.

Apple Hospitality’s indicated dividend represents a yield of 6.73%, which is more than double compared to the average dividend yield of 3.06% for the Finance sector.

Dividend Insights

Apple Hospitality has a dividend payout ratio of 68.6%, which denotes that the Company distributes approximately $0.69 for every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts’ estimates, Apple Hospitality is forecasted to report earnings of $0.95 for the upcoming year compared to the Company’s annualized dividend of $1.20. One of the primary reasons for the difference between earnings and annualized dividend is that Apple Hospitality is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) which is structured by law to distribute at least 90% of earnings. Moreover, since REITs generate income from owning portfolios of investment real estate, they are likely to have higher depreciation charges.

Since depreciation is a non-cash charge, it does not directly impact the ability of dividend the companies can distribute. For this reason, Fund from Operations (FFO) is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization (D&A) to earnings and subtracting any gains on sales which then provides a better picture of any company’s profitability and capacity to pay and to sustain dividends. For instance, Apple Hospitality reported net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, of $42.2 million, or $0.18 per share, compared to $34.4 million, or $0.15 per share, in Q2 2017.

On the other hand, Apple Hospitality’s modified FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, was $87.9 million or $0.38 per share, compared to $86.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in Q2 2017. The FFO number indicates that the Company should be able to comfortably cover its dividend payout through earnings.

Upcoming Earnings

On June 28, 2018, Apple Hospitality announced that it plans to report second quarter 2018 financial results after the market closes on August 06, 2018, and host a conference call for investors and interested parties on Tuesday, August 07, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to discuss the results.

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=BHP

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=BP

BHP expects that the divestment will enable it to simplify and strengthen its business operations, pay off debts, and provide value and returns to its shareholders.

Comments from Management

Commenting on the sale of the US onshore oil and gas assets, Andrew Mackenzie, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BHP, said:

“The sale of our Onshore US assets is consistent with our long-term plan to continue to simplify and strengthen our portfolio to generate shareholder value and returns for decades to come.”

Bob Dudley, Group Chief Executive of BP, stated:

“This is a transformational acquisition for our Lower 48 business, which is a major step in delivering our Upstream strategy and a world-class addition to BP’s distinctive portfolio.”

Details of the Divestment

As per the terms of the divestment, BHP Billiton Petroleum (North America) Inc. has agreed to sell 100% of issued share capital of Petrohawk Energy Corp., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BHP, to BP America Production Co., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BP PLC. Petrohawk owns assets at Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and Permian Basin. BP American has agreed to pay $10.5 billion in cash for Petrohawk’s assets. Initially, BP America will pay half of the agreed amount, subject to adjustments at the time of completing the deal; and the balance half of the payment (deferred consideration) will be payable within the next six months in six equal instalments. The second half of the consideration is not subject to any conditions.

Additionally, the entire share capital of BHP Billiton Petroleum (Arkansas) and the 100% membership interests in BHP Billiton Petroleum (Fayetteville) LLC has been divested to MMGJ Hugoton III, LLC (“MMGJ”), which is a Company owned by Merit Energy Co. Both BHP Companies hold the Fayetteville assets. MMGJ has agreed to pay these BHP Companies $0.3 billion for the Fayetteville assets. The consideration amount is subject to adjustments at the time of the closing of the deal.

These deals are effective as on July 01, 2018. BHP has indicated that the above divestments are expected to be completed by the end of October 2018, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. BHP will continue to operate the divested assets until the completion of the deal, and it will ensure that the transition of the business to BP is completed smoothly.

BHP expects to incur a one-time impairment charge of approximately $2.8 billion post-tax (approximately US$2.9 billion pre-tax) as a result of this deal. The Company plans to classify this one-time impairment charge as an exceptional item when compiling its financial results for FY18. The Company also expects that it will incur approximately $0.2 billion as income tax as a result of the divestments. However, the estimated cash tax payable will be less than $0.1 billion after considering the carried forward tax losses of the BHP’s groups consolidated US tax.

The proceeds from the assets sale will allow BHP to pay off a significant portion of its debts, and it will be able to allocate part of the proceeds to pay returns to its shareholders. The Company will be making an announcement in this matter at the time of the completion of these divestments.

BHP’s Divested US Onshore Oil And Gas Assets

The divested assets include entire interests in the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Permian fields, and Fayetteville Onshore US oil and gas assets. The assets in Eagle Ford, Haynesville, and Permian fields consist of 526,000 net acres and the Company-produced oil, gas, and natural gas liquids which were sold by BHP domestically in the US. These assets produced a total of 58.8 million barrels of oil equivalent (Mboe) in FY18.

The Fayetteville Onshore US oil and gas assets are in north central Arkansas, and consist of approximately 268,000 net acres. The production from these assets was 13.3 Mboe (including 79.9 billion cubic feet of gas) for FY18.

Effect of Acquisition on BP

The acquisition of BHP’s assets is one of the largest deals made by BP in a long time, and it is a great opportunity for BP to expand its footprint in the US shale business. The deal sees BP emerging from the $65 billion payments as penalties and clean-up, as well as the backlash faced due to the Deepwater Horizon accident and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010.

The acquisition will allow it to gain high-quality oil and gas assets in the resources rich Permian and Eagle Ford basins in Texas, and in the Haynesville gas basin in Texas and Louisiana. The total production from these assets is approximately 190,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

BP plans to merge the acquired BHP’s onshore US business with its existing US onshore business. David Lawler, the current CEO of BP’s US onshore business will head the merged entity.

BP expects the deal to be accretive to its earnings per share (EPS) and cash flows, and will increase BP’s onshore production from 14% to 27%, and onshore resources from 17% to 29%. BP also expects the deal to result in over $350 million in annual pre-tax synergies and savings.

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=OI

Earnings Highlights and Summary

For the second quarter of the fiscal year 2018, Owens-Illinois’ net sales were $1.77 billion, which was 1% higher than $1.75 billion in Q2 2017. The prices were up approximately 2%, reflecting cost inflation and sales mix. The Company’s revenue numbers lagged analysts’ estimates of $1.82 billion.

During Q2 2018, Owens-Illinois’ global sales shipments were down 1% on a y-o-y basis, largely attributed to the impact of external transportation strikes in Brazil and a raw material batch disruption in Mexico.

Owens-Illinois’ segment’s operating profit was $255 million in Q2 2018 compared to $252 million in Q2 2017. The Company’s earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $78 million in the reported quarter compared to $152 million in the year earlier same quarter.

For Q2 2018, Owens-Illinois’ earnings from continuing operations were $56 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $143 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in Q2 2017. The decline was primarily driven by higher charges related to restructuring activities.

Excluding certain items that the management considers not representative of ongoing operations, Owens-Illinois’ earnings per share (EPS) were $0.77 in Q2 2018, up 3% compared to $0.75 in Q2 2017; and beating Wall Street’s estimates of $0.75.

Segment Results

During Q2 2018, Owens-Illinois’ Americas segment’s net sales totaled $930 million compared to $942 million in Q2 2017. The segment’s operating profit was $152 million in the reported quarter versus $161 million in the prior year’s comparable quarter, as a favorable pricing was largely offset by higher operating costs. The Company announced during the reported quarter that its plans to shut down a plant in the US that primarily produces megabeer and is progressing with plans to expand capacity in Brazil to support customer needs.

For Q2 2018, Owens-Illinois’ Europe segment’s sales were $674 million, up 6% compared to $635 million in Q2 2017. The segment’s operating profit was $101 million in the reported quarter, up more than 25% compared to $80 million in the prior year’s corresponding quarter. This increase was driven by favorable foreign currency exchange rates, price increases, continued benefits from Total Systems Cost, and the recognition of an energy credit.

During Q2 2018, Owens-Illinois’ Asia/Pacific segment’s net sales totaled $153 million compared to $155 million in Q2 2017. The segment’s operating profit was $2 million in the reported quarter compared to $11 million in the year earlier same quarter. The magnitude of the y-o-y decline was less than that reported in Q1 2018.

Share Repurchase

Owens-Illinois launched its $400 million share repurchase program during Q1 2018, and repurchased 2.7 million shares for approximately $50 million.

Outlook

Owens-Illinois is forecasting EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $2.29 to $2.39 for FY18. Excluding certain items that the management considers not representative of ongoing operations, the Company continues to expect adjusted EPS to be in the band of $2.75 to $2.85, based on current foreign currency exchange rates.

Owens-Illinois is projecting EPS from continuing operations, and adjusted EPS to be approximately $0.75 for Q3 2018. For FY18, the Company continues to expect cash provided by continuing operating activities to be approximately $800 million, and adjusted free cash flow to be approximately $400 million, with downside pressure from currency.
