Many Australian fund managers chose not to participate in the IPO of Coronado Global Resources, forcing private equity firm Energy & Minerals Group to scale back the size of the raising and the issue price of Coronado share. Some resources-focused fund managers are said to have taken the view that Coronado’s offer price was less compelling than similar IPOs, while its commitment to pay out all free cash flows in its first year as dividends is also believed to have been a concern.

Coronado Global Resources is slated to commence trading on the Australian sharemarket on 23 October. The IPO raised $774m and was oversubscribed, although Coronado had scaled back the size of the offering from an initial target of $1.4m. Metallurgical coal accounted for about 75 per cent of Coronado’s total production in 2017. The company owns coal mines in Queensland’s Bowen Basin and the US state of Virginia. Energy & Minerals Group (EMG) will retain a stake of up to 78.9 per cent in Coronado.

Coronado Global Resources will have a market capitalisation of more than $4bn after its proposed IPO. The company, whose primary listing will be in Australia, proposes to issue 166.5 million CHESS Depositary Interests to local shareholders; its only shareholder Coronado Group will in turn sell more than 123 million CDIs. Coronado Global Resources’ assets include the Curragh coking coal mine in Queensland and several coking coal mines in the US. MD and founder Garold Spindler expects the price of coking coal to remain above $US170 per tonne in the near-term, due to continued strong demand.

US-based Peabody Energy has a market capitalisation of around $US4.7bn ($A6bn) just over a year after it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Peabody’s Australian operations in particular have performed well in the last year, having achieved a pre-tax operating profit margins of nearly 40 per cent in the March quarter. There has been speculation about potential acquisitions, but Peabody CEO Glenn Kellow says the company’s priority is to return capital to investors via share buybacks and dividends.
