• Lower than foreseen quantities transported• But significantly lower operating costs boosted net profit • New regulatory period starts mid 2012

Transgaz reported its preliminary 4Q 2011 results under Romanian Accounting Standards with anet profit above our forecast but close to consensus estimates.

Quantities came in below expectations: Due to the 25% rise in consumption reported by the

regulator for November we were expecting quantities transported over 4Q 2011 up 7.5% yoy.However, our estimate appears to have been too optimistic, the mild December weatherapparently diminished gas consumption. Overall quantities transported over 4Q stood at 42TWh, 6% below our estimates and only 1% higher yoy. FY 2011 quantities were 4% higher yoyat 136 TWh. The decrease was partially compensated by higher other income.

Operating costs lower than we expected: Material costs (incl. technological consumptionexpenses) were some 18% below our estimates and salaries were 10% smaller than our forecast.But the main difference came from third party expenses, representing mainly maintenance costs,

 which were 47% lower than we expected. Third parties expenses for 2011 were almost flat yoy while we were expecting a 40% rise yoy, which seemed appropriate considering the company’sstatements and budget which saw a doubling of these expenses.

The decrease in costs placed the operating profit significantly above our forecast. Net profit forthe quarter reached RON 108 mn, up from our forecast of RON 61 mn.

Estimated dividend yield above 12%: FY 2011 net profit stood at RON 392 mn, up 4% yoy.Taking into account the budgeted 90% dividend pay-out ratio, we estimate a dividend per shareof RON 30, some 14% above our estimate and 4% higher yoy. Using yesterday’s closing pricethe dividend yield stands above 12%

 We remind that mid 2012 starts the next regulatory period of five years and the parameters of the regulatory methodology follow to be renegotiated, including an estimate of operatingexpenses for the next five years. 

Outlook and recommendation: Given that Raiffeisen Capital&Investment is the lead manager of the consortium in charge of the SPO for the 15% stake offered by the state, our recommendationand target price are suspended.
