Good comments Petunia. I hope the following helps, can't say who published it though or they would have to kill me. 24 February 2011 DUE 24/02/2011 Duet Group Last Traded: $1.62 Market Cap: $1,469m Sector: Utilities Summary of report dated 18/02/2011 BUY Price target: $2.00 Rebound overdue DUE reported proportionate asset level EBITDA of $320m, which was up 6.7% pcp. Overall, the result was slightly softer than our expectations, with proportionate revenue and proportionate EBITDA lower by 4% and 2.1%, respectively versus forecasts. We have made downgrades to our proportionate earnings forecasts, mainly due to the higher senior debt levels in UED. This has more than offset the reduced SOLA interest payments. Our price target is reduced slightly to $2.00/security and remains, based on a 10% discount to our asset DCF. Retain Buy. DUE has taken substantial steps to simplify its corporate structure with the divestment of Duquesne, gradual de-leverage of the assets and more recently, re-capitalisation of UED. We remain confident that DUE can adequately fund the equity capex requirements of the assets and maintain current distributions. The acquisition of minority stakes in DBP and Multinet Gas would be viewed positively if it were to occur.
