Source: FactSet, Macquarie Research, May 215 (all figures in AUD unless noted) 26 May 215 Macquarie Securities (Australia) Limited Cowal pushes EVN beyond 8kozpa Event EVN has announced it has reached an agreement with Barrick Gold to acquire the Cowal gold mine for US$55m. The acquisition will be funded via an A$248m rights issue and increased debt facilities. Cowal produces 24-26kozpa and should lift EVN s annual production above 8kozpa. Impact Cowal acquisition in detail: EVN has announced it will acquire the Cowal gold mine for US$55m. Including stamp duty the total acquisition cost to EVN is estimated at A$752m. The deal requires both FIRB and NSW Government approval. We do not expect any impediments to the transaction proceeding and expect completion to occur as scheduled in late July. A game-changing acquisition: The acquisition of Cowal is a game-changer for EVN. The mine is expected to produce 24-26kozpa over the next three years, lifting EVN s group production to over 8kozpa. Production from Cowal is more than double EVN s next largest asset and accounts for more than 3% of EVN s gold reserves. Increased gearing in the short-term: EVN is funding the A$752m total acquisition cost through an A$248m rights issue, A$14m drawn from its existing debt facility and a A$4m new five-year term loan. EVN s debt will increase to over $6m as a result, increasing gearing to ~3%. However, on completion of the La Mancha Australia acquisition, La Mancha will subscribe to a placement in line with the rights issue, raising $112m and lifting La Mancha s equity stake back to 31%. The cash injection combined with operating cash flow should see EVN return to net cash in ~18 months. Earnings and target price revision Incorporating the Cowal acquisition and recent changes to our A$/US$ forecasts has translated to 9% and 15% cuts to our FY15 and FY16 EPS estimates. Our earnings for FY17 and FY18 rises ~2% after incorporating Cowal into our forecasts. Our price target falls from $1.15 to $1.1 as a result of these changes. Price catalyst 12-month price target: A$1.1 based on a DCF methodology. Catalyst: Successfully completing the Cowal and La Mancha acquisitions presents the next major catalyst for EVN. The shareholder meeting for La Mancha is expected to occur in early August. Action and recommendation Downgrading from Outperform to Neutral: Incorporating the Cowal acquisition was effectively NPV neutral with the modest cut to our target reflecting changes to our A$/US$ forecasts. The stock is now trading in line with our price target on a TERP basis and we are downgrading our recommendation to Neutral. We concede that EVN could deliver both reserve and resource upgrades and cost out opportunities at Cowal, which presents upside risk to our base case for the stock. Please refer to page 7 for important disclosures and analyst certification, or on our website www.macquarie.com/research/disclosures.

Acquisition of Cowal a game changer EVN has announced it has reached an agreement with Barrick Gold (ABX CN, C$15.11, Underperform, TP: C$11., Ron Stewart) to acquire the Cowal open pit gold mine in NSW for US$55m. Cowal currently produces 24-26kozpa at an AISC of A$85-9/oz. EVN will fund the acquisition through the combination of a A$248m rights issue at $.9 and $54m of debt, $4m of which is from a new five-year debt facility. Fig 1 Cowal acquisition funded from debt and equity Sources of funds A$m Uses of funds A$m Rights Issue 248 Acquisition cost 694 Existing debt drawdown 14 Transaction costs including stamp duty 58 New Debt facility 4 Total Sources 752 Total uses 752 Source: Macquarie Research, May 215 The Cowal mine is expected to account for around 3% of EVN s total production and EVN s current gold reserves. Significantly the AISC at Cowal of A$85-9/oz is lower than EVN s average production cost. Incorporating Cowal into our forecasts for EVN pushes group production above 8kozpa for the next three years.

We had previously expected EVN to produce around 43kozpa for the next two years before declining output at Edna May saw production fall to 34kozpa by FY19. Incorporating the La Mancha Australia assets and Cowal has translated to 93-14% increases in our production forecasts for EVN over the next four years.

Importantly, both the La Mancha assets, White Foil and Frog s Leg, and the Cowal mine are expected to produce at an All-in sustaining cost (AISC) below A$1,/oz. Incorporating the lower cost production from both the La Mancha and Cowal assets reduces our average AISC for EVN by 7-12% for EVN over the next four years.

Cowal accounts for 31% of EVN s total reserves and 18% of resources.

La Mancha was expected to have a 31% equity stake in EVN post the La Mancha Australia acquisition and indicated a willingness to support future deals up to $1m. Under the terms of the Cowal rights issue, La Mancha will subscribe to a $112m placement that will reinstate its 31% equity interest, with the placement expected to occur before the end of the September quarter. At the completion of the La Mancha placement, EVN s total shares on issue should have increased to 1,438m. Earning and valuation downgrade Incorporating the Cowal acquisition and recent changes to our A$/US$ forecasts has translated to 9% and 15% cuts to our FY15 and FY16 EPS estimates. Our earnings for FY17 and FY18 rises ~2% after incorporating Cowal into our forecasts.
