Things are going for 3.4-3.5 X >>> Dan why have TP at 5 and 6 when things are going for 3.4 x?
The transaction was acquired at approximately 3.4x 2023 EBITDA1 and a 17% free cash flow yield1, accretive relative to Marathon Oil's 2023 stand-alone metrics at the same price deck (4.7x EV/EBITDA2, 13% FCF Yield2).
Enhances Return of Capital Profile: As the transaction is accretive to Marathon Oil's cash flow profile, it will immediately enhance shareholder distributions, consistent with the Company's transparent Return of Capital Framework that is uniquely driven by operating cash flow and, in a $60/bbl WTI or higher price environment, calls for at least 40% of annual operating cash flow to be returned to equity holders. More specifically, Marathon Oil expects the transaction to increase 2023 shareholder distribution capacity by approximately 17%1. Additionally, due to the cash flow accretive nature of the transaction, Marathon Oil expects to raise its quarterly base dividend an additional 11% post transaction close to 10ct/sh. Importantly, for full year 2022, Marathon Oil still expects to meet its objective to return at least 50% of adjusted operating cash flow to shareholders, outperforming its 40% framework minimum.
