Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure / Equity Capital Markets

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI from hereon) aims to raise around US$500m in its Australian listing. It is owned by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/brookfield-asset-manage-cl-a-0483cfb5-71a5-4931-af80-901e5f30aace" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:23741:1" rel="noopener">Brookfield Asset Management (BAM US)</a>. It holds a 99-lease for Dalrymple Bay Terminal (DBT), a coal export terminal. DBT was commissioned in 1983 and is located close to Bowen Basin, the world’s largest met coal export region, in Queensland.  The terminal is a common-user facility providing services to a large number of mining customers. Approximately 80% of the coal shipped through DBT in 2019 was metallurgical (met) coal. It is the largest met coal terminal, handling 15% of global met coal in 2019 and 30% of Queensland coal exports. While the current revenue for DBI is regulated and hence, fairly stable, it has been trying to change that so that it can set its own tariffs directly with clients. However, even if it manages to do that the upside might be limited.As per my calculations, if it doesn’t manage to succeed in doing so, its revenue could drop by an amount far exceeding the projected upside. This doesn’t make DBI appear particularly attractive.
