Woodside reported DecQ16 Production above market estimates on stronger LNG production. The result was driven by a stronger-than-expected performance from North-West Shelf & Pluto LNG.
The production beat helped DecQ16 revenue which increased to US$1 billion
CY17 production guidance will see volumes down 5- 10%. This is mainly due to the reduction in Woodside’s share of the NWS Joint venture.
2017 forecast revenue US$3.9b (flat on previous year), EBIT of US$1.5b, net profit of US$1b, EPS of US$1.30 places the stock on a forward yield of 4%.
