Valuation
• DCF/PER blend TP (A$164.10/A$134.81, respectively) moves to A$114 (from A$111) with
impacts from EPS revisions offset by lower spot AUD/USD (0.69 vs 0.71 previously).
• We maintain our prior 20% discount to TP which incorporates risks around the scale/
duration of IG inventory issues, greater volume decline in the China albumin market,
and ongoing management uncertainty. We would expect to partially or fully unwind this
discount as these risks diminish, either through improved operational delivery or as further
analysis provides us with a higher level of comfort that these risks have subsided
