Iofina (IOF): FY 2017 results – Turning the corner
Key data
- Share price (p): 18.1
- Target price (p): 35.0

Solid FY 2017 results, in line with expectations and confirming the continued improvement in costs and leverage to the ongoing recovery in iodine prices. Iodine production +6% y/y despite fewer facilities operational. The new IO#7 plant, which started up in February, is ramping up nicely and should drive higher iodine volumes in H2 2018 and lower unit costs further. An additional plant, IO#8, is also expected to be developed this year, in line with our expectations. Company on track to execute on renewed growth ambitions, which alongside lower costs and higher iodine prices drives improved profitability and higher cash flow.
