My adjusted NAV including Solimoes is about $418 million or $0.70 per share.  This includes writing down all the Namibian asset which I think you have to do based upon the results.  About 185% upside.  How are getting 5 to 10x the current price?

How did you calculate your adjusted NAV?

Would be curious to know what assets did you include to calculate the NAV? According to my estimates, Polvo at cost , cash & securities and some other assets  is around US$350m. It is difficult to estimate the value of Solimoes and Namibia which can be anywhere between couple of hundred millions to billion. Also this does not include the tax credits which may be substantial and should soon be realized due to revenues from Polvo.

Namibian assets are probably worth more than zero, though on a prudent valuation basis i wouldn't assign any liquidation value to the blocks HRT holds.  Five to ten bagger upside implies some kind of oil discovery in Namibia. Supposedly HRT has opened a data room and is looking for a farm out partner.

 

Shell bought into the Orange basin and will be drilling in 2014.

So their 6% stake in the Solimoes Basin was sold for $99 million.  So HRT's remaining 49% stake is being valued at $808 million  (.49* $1.65 billion).  This represents $2.735 per share or $6.34 BRL per share pre-tax (295.41 million shares outstanding & 2.32 USD/BRL).  That is 6.8 times the current stock price of 0.93 BRL and only one of their assets. 

 

If we wrote down Rosneft's value of Solimoes by 80%, this would be a total value of $330 million.  HRT's 49% stake would be worth $161 million pre-tax, or $0.545 per share.  This would equate to $1.26 BRL per share, or 135% of the current market value. 

 

Now how much are their other assets worth?

I dont think 6% stake was sold for $96m. In fact the press release does not even provide info on the price of 6% stake. AS per the press release, the amount includes outstanding cash calls.

 

"The total amount refers to the sale of 6% working interest, the transfer of operatorship in their Joint Venture in the Solimões Sedimentary Basin to Rosneft, the sale of four heli-transportable drilling rigs and the settlement of the outstanding cash calls owed by Rosneft until October 2013."

I am still getting around $0.90 cents per ADR assuming Namibian assets are worth nothing.  Polvo is worth lets say $10/BOE so $230 m, cash of $72 m and Solimos in a range of $174 to $289 based upon a JPM DCF of the project results in a total value of $467 to $591 or $.80 to $1.00 per ADR.  The current transaction with Rosneft includes control so there is some premium above the 6% economic interest they purchased.

Namibia has until recently been largely overlooked by the oil majors. A spate of farm-in agreements over the last six months suggests that this is changing. International oil companies are keen to secure a stake in the southern African country’s oil boom, should one materialise.

Hi Tom

so your investment thesis here is that they either find commercial oil in which case this is a multi bagger

or they fail, and basically close the shop, liquidate, and the net asset should still be a one or two bagger?

No I think it's quite unlikely that they find commercial oil at this point. The only upside this asset might give is a renewed interest in the region by the majors which could provide new partners. Otherwise the Namibian assets are pretty much worthless imo.

I don't see this being liquidated either. This is a token position on their other assets with a possible kicker. Equity is even hated by all the value guys so it could surprise.

I dont see any catalyst except some farm outs in Namibia and the company is trading significantly below its net asset values. However the positives are offset by bad management. I also feel that the company is not transparent and i wont be surprised if there are some sloppy deals behind the curtains. Discovery just sold their large stake as they probably did not want to fight a battle with JG who is looking to control the board and eventually the company. I think minority shareholders will probably loose out.

 

Disclosure: I do have a small position but have to admit that i feel that it may have been a mistake.

I guess I'm confused....

 

So I still don't see what's the catalyst or reason for the company to trade at its intrinsic value, which based on what I have read here is being approximated as the NAV. Are we saying if there's renewed interest in Africa oil then some bugger player might come along and buy this thing up? 

 

I know there's some bigger fund guys that have large holdings of this - I wonder what they are seeing here.
