Morguard reported largely in-line Q4 results. Looking forward, the REIT's Target
exposure appears challenging, but should be manageable, given low rents and
lease guarantees. On the call, management appeared upbeat suggesting there was
good interest in the space. Still, we see a tougher year ahead given above-average
exposure to Target, Sears and Western Canada. We're moving to SP and trimming
our TP to $19.

• Q4/14 results in-line ex-items – FFO per unit of $0.44 increased ~4% in Q4,
coming in ahead of our $0.42 estimate and Street at $0.41. Included in NOI was
lease cancellation income totalling $0.9 million or ~$0.01 per unit. Excluding this
income, FFO per unit was broadly in line with our estimate.
• Target re-tenanting will likely prove challenging, but manageable, given low
rents and lease guarantees from its U.S. parent – Given that Morguard's Target
locations largely consist of enclosed malls in secondary markets, we believe
the re-tenanting process may prove challenging – particularly for multi-level
locations and where Sears is a co-anchor. That said, early indications are
promising as management indicated on the call that it has seen interest in all
seven Target locations on a break-up basis. In total, Target accounts for 2.3% of
the REIT's annualized gross rent or ~$0.10 per unit. All leases but one carry a
rental guarantee from the retailer's U.S. parent, with the exception being Pine
Centre Mall in Prince George, B.C., representing ~0.4% of annualized gross rent
(~$0.02 per unit). For a detailed look at Morguard's Target exposure, please see

Timmins has the potential to grow production to over 300koz from 120koz
following recent acquisitions and is trading at a discount to NAV. However, it
could be 2–3 years before this growth can be demonstrated and we expect the
shares to trade inline with peers in the near term.

• Significant growth profile brings added risks: Timmins has the potential to grow
annual gold production to over 300koz from 120koz over the next 3–4 years
with capex of less than $300MM following the 2 recent acquisitions. However,
this brings execution, financing and permitting risk. Additionally, the recently
acquired Ana Paula project is located in the Guerrero state which has faced recent
issues with violence.
• Production growth 2–3 years out: Timmins is trading at 0.6x NAV compared to
Tier III peers at 0.8x NAV; however, this discount could persist until production
growth can be demonstrated which could be 2–3 years from now.

Barrick is looking to reduce total debt by $3.0B to $10.1B by the end of 2015. The
sale of two mines producing 790koz of gold could generate $1.4B to pay down
debt, although the loss of the optionality associated with operating leverage would
reduce our price target. However, the sale of the Acacia equity stake or asset swaps
could generate a positive re-rating.

• The strategy to generate $3B to reduce debt could involve a combination of:
(1) divestment of operating mines; (2) 2015 operating improvements that could
generate cash flow of $481MM at $1,200/oz gold; (3) pursuing joint ventures and
strategic partnerships; and (4) issuing new equity, albeit a low possibility at this
point. The stated asset sales and our estimated free cash flow could result in an
estimated $1.9B in debt reduction.
• Selling operating mines with optionality associated with operating leverage/
exploration to pay down debt recorded at face value would have a negative
impact on our price target. We would argue that it would make more sense
to sell the entire Acacia stake (circa $1.1B) which we carry at market value
with no material change in valuation for the company and reduce associated
management time.

Getting paid to wait out the AB power storm, but it might be a long storm
Investors looking to clip what is likely to be a growing dividend stream while
waiting for an Alberta power recovery should consider CPX's shares, as we
see limited downside risk in the business itself (i.e., decent balance sheet
and dividend coverage). However, we have trouble seeing what factors could
meaningfully increase Alberta power prices on a sustainable basis.

• Q4/14 results weaker than expected. Capital Power’s Q4/14 normalized EPS
(diluted) was $0.18 as compared to our estimate of $0.36. On a basic basis,
normalized EPS was $0.20 in Q4/14. Normalized EBITDA for the quarter was $104
million compared to our estimate of $109 million with the variance also driven
by modestly higher-than-expected interest, depreciation and tax expense.
• Guidance for 2015 directionally reduced; revising estimates to reflect lower
power price environment. Capital Power maintained its 2015 FFO guidance
range of $365–415 million, but due to low power prices it directionally guided to
the "lower end" of that range. We have reduced our 2015 and 2016 EPS estimates
to $1.13 and $0.92 (from $1.25 and $1.35), respectively.
• We have trouble seeing what factors could meaningfully increase Alberta
power prices on a sustainable basis in the next two years. With year-to-date
power prices averaging $33/MWh and forward prices on the NGX site averaging
$36/MWh (2015 balance of year) and $39/MWh (2016), the Alberta power
outlook seems awfully challenging. In 2015, the 800 MW Shepard gas plant has
not meaningfully dispatched any power yet, although it appears set to do so in
the next two weeks.
• Reducing price target to $26.00 (from $28.00). Our lower price target is driven by
our reduced 2016 EBITDA forecast, partially offset by a slightly higher valuation
multiple at 10x EBITDA, reflecting our view that the share price is likely to be
propped up by the above-average dividend yield and expected dividend growth.

• Q4 earnings expect to decline slightly: We forecast Q4/14 EPS of $0.11, down
from $0.13 in Q3/14, and slightly below consensus of $0.14. We also forecast
Q4/14 CFPS of $0.22, down from $0.29 in Q3/14 and below consensus of $0.26.
The sequential decline in earnings is mostly driven by lower commodity prices
and lower quarterly production.
• Production guidance in 2015: Nevsun previously released its Q4/14 production
results and 2015 guidance. Bisha produced 196Mlbs of copper in concentrate in
2014, at the high end of the company's 180-200Mlbs guidance. The company
has guided 160-175Mlbs copper production in 2015, in-line with the 170Mlbs
presented in the most recent technical report. Throughput is expected to
improve in 2015 as copper grades continue to decline.
• Operational updates expected in the near term: Nevsun intends to release
updated mineral reserves with its year end financial results, following the
resource update released in February 2015, where inferred resources increased
by 341%. The company plans to spend $10M in 2015 to drill 25,000 meters
in three main areas - Harena, targets at depth and on strike from Bisha
Main, and greenfield targets on the Mogoraib River license. Scoping studies on
underground mining at Bisha and Harena are planned in 2015, and a revised
mine plan including underground scenarios is expected for Q3/15. Nevsun has
also stated that the zinc plant is on track for commissioning in mid-2016 and has
maintained the $90M budget.

• PrairieSky Royalty reported headline CFPS (f.d.) of $0.44 (-17% QoQ). Adjusted
for prior period compliance of $0.03/share, CFPS of $0.41 compared to our
$0.32 estimate vs Street consensus of $0.36 (range $0.32-$0.40) mostly on lower
transaction costs and taxes.
• Thoughts on the stock. We continue to see PrairieSky primarily as a defensive
option vs dividend-paying E&P's due its perpetual resource exposure over 5.2
million acres of fee simple lands, clean balance sheet, and unique commodity
price leverage unburdened by future costs (opex, capex, abandonment). We look
for more color on tomorrow's 8:00 am ET conference call, dial-in 877-291-4570

deliver positive exploration results at depth.

• With a significant delineation drilling program near existing infrastructure and
focus on underground development to add additional stopes to its mining
inventory, we expect Primero's flexibility in the underground to improve over the
coming quarters as the company targets underground throughput of 1,000 tpd
by mid-2015.
Looking to fill excess mill capacity
• Primero also announced the discovery of two new near-surface targets at Black
Fox (Tamarack and Froome) and continued exploration success from the nearby
Grey Fox property (Exhibit 2) which could eventually be developed to help fill
excess capacity in the Black Fox mill once the current open-pit is depleted later
this year.

In our minds, Encana Corporation’s repositioning efforts over the course of 2014

Eagle Ford and Duvernay, which support a fairway of higher margin oil and natural

• Encana’s portfolio is much better equipped today to support lower cost growth
than it was a year ago. That said, in response to the sharp retreat in WTI prices,
Encana is likely to undertake measured steps to protect its balance sheet.
• Potential Capital Spending Cut. In connection with the release of its fourthquarter results, Encana is likely to announce a reduced 2015 capital program. As
it stands, Encana’s 2015 mid-point investment program sits at $2.8 billion, prior
to estimated disposition proceeds of $800 million, or $2.0 billion on a net basis.
The Montney, Permian, Eagle Ford and Duvernay occupy about 80% of Encana’s
investment this year. Encana’s signal in December that it planned to add no
incremental debt during 2015 would point towards a circa $725 million (26%) cut
by our analysis, assuming no further asset dispositions. This move could reshape
Encana’s oil & liquids production growth outlook pending improved commodity
price conditions.
• Ample Liquidity. Encana’s average net debt-to-trailing cash flow ratio sits at
4.9x (vs. 3.6x average for our North American peer group excluding Talisman
Energy) in 2015, and should fall to 2.8x in 2016 under our $77/b WTI outlook
and 4% production growth picture. Encana possesses ample liquidity, with a
debt-to-adjusted capitalization covenant on its credit facility agreements of 60%
(Encana’s debt-to-adjusted capitalization ratio was 26% as of September 30,
2014). Encana’s common share dividend of $0.28 per share would equate to a
modest annual outlay of $208 million (before DRIP proceeds).

consideration of $307mm with a targeted closing date of April 16. Kelt will issue
26.9mm shares and will assume $89.5mm in debt to complete the deal, which
will bring Kelt's ownership of regional producing assets and related infrastructure
to nearly 100%.
• Accretive on all key metrics. The transaction rounds out Kelt's footprint in the
area, adding 5,400 boe/d of production (60% gas), 202,967 net undeveloped
acres of land and 46.4 mmboe of 2P reserves. Pro forma corporate production
will increase 35% to roughly 21,000 boe/d. Transaction metrics of roughly
$56,850/boe/d and $12.89/boe (including FDC) are attractive in our view when
compared to recent (albeit few) transactions. Furthermore, the deal is accretive
to our estimates of cash flow per share (+13%) and production per share (+5%).
• Montney and Doig inventory expanded. Kelt will add 85 net Montney sections
and 91 net Doig sections to its portfolio, bringing the total Montney land in the
area to 151 net sections and Doig land to 132 net sections. At four wells per
section, this maps to >700 additional locations.

Regal reported Q4/14 results modestly below our expectations. Overall, the
business is beginning to normalize, with stable occupancy and projected rental
growth of 2%-3% according to management. Going forward, Regal has identified
preliminary intensification opportunities with upwards of 500 suites. In the interim,
management is reinvesting in its portfolio with increased capex spending.

• AFFO/share comes in $0.02 short in Q4/14; Targeting margin improvement in
2015 – AFFO per share of $0.17 increased 1.8% YoY in Q4, coming in modestly
short of our estimate largely due to an unfavourable variance in NOI which was
partially offset by a favourable variance in interest expense.
• SP-NOI growth of 3.1% is beginning to normalize – In our view, the portfolio
is reaching stabilization, following lease-up over the course of 2014. We note
that total portfolio occupancy of 95.5% now stands largely in-line with sameproperty occupancy of 95.6%. In general, we are pleased to see SP-NOI growth
of 3.1% and note that same-property revenue growth of 3.7% is approaching
guidance of 2%-3% annually. In addition, the lease up of Birkdale Place in Milton,
ON continues to progress well, with a 2.1% sequential increase in occupancy to
84.6%.
• Capex spending running above normalized guidance – Maintenance capex
spending increased in Q4 and totalled $2.3 million or $632 per suite, largely due
to life safety programs and related spending. Management notes that spending
on items such as roofing were previously identified but accelerated due to timing
and that additional items were identified during the course of planned repairs.
9
This brings the 2014 total to $2.9 million or 2.8% of revenue (~$888/suite),
coming in above guidance of 1.5%-2.0%.

2015 Healthcare Conference Preview
Adnan Butt (Analyst)
• The RBC Capital Markets’ Healthcare Conference will be held February 24–25
in New York City. This year, we will host senior management from more than
100 companies, over 1,500 management one-on-one discussions, and 10 expert
panels. This year’s panels will cover a range of timely and critical issues presently
impacting the Healthcare sector, from the Emerging Consumer Dynamic in
Healthcare to Hospital Purchasing Trends to Generic Drug Pricing to the Future
of Robotic Surgery and Emerging Treatments in the Oncology space.
• In this report, the RBC Capital Markets’ Research Healthcare Team has identified
key themes we expect investors to be focused on at the conference this week
across the Biotech, Medical Devices, Specialty Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare
Services, Healthcare IT, and Pharmaceutical Distributor sectors. Furthermore,
the Team has provided central investor questions for each of their presenting
management teams. Finally, our Chief US Market Strategist, Jonathan Golub,
has provided a macro overview of the Healthcare space which supports his
overweight position on the sector.
• For your convenience, we have also included the full two-day Conference agenda.
We hope you find the report helpful and, as always, encourage you to reach out

• Large projects drive Canadian public infrastructure growth balancing
challenges on private side. We note there are several large upcoming awards
in Canada for 2015/2016. (Champlain Bridge, Eglinton LRT in Q2 2015). We
note these larger, more complex Canadian infrastructure projects represent an
increasing dollar opportunity.
• See US non-residential construction up with continued growth ahead. We
believe STN, WSP and CAM will benefit from continued moderate strengthening
of US non-residential investment in 2015.
• Focus for Q4: Outlooks for 2015 with weaker commodities, weak CAD FX impact
to acquisition pace. For SNC, we expect investors will look to core E&C guidance
for F15 as well as for clarity on impact of criminal charges laid on corporation last
week. With larger exposure to oil & gas we expect focus re SNC, ARE, STN and
SOX will be on impact of lower crude pricing on organic growth and margin in
2015 as well as potential backlog hit re F16. We expect an updated outlook and
target guidance for WSP post its PB acquisition. For CAM, we look for evidence
of operating leverage into F15 from recovering US market volumes and ability to
leverage lower cost CAD base for US orders.

• Our take in Q4: In line quarters for STN, CAM, above for WSP and below for
SNC, ARE, and SOX relative to Street.

• Based on our net asset value analysis, excluding Cenovus Energy, our large cap
independent and integrated coverage universe is currently discounting a longterm escalated WTI equivalent (WTIE) price of US$76/boe (vs. US$77/boe), down
1% from last week, and a long-term WTI price of US$91/b (vs. US$92/b), also
down 1% from last week.
• Current WTIE implied prices would compare with prior 2009–2014 YTD peak
and trough levels of US$84/boe and US$61/boe, respectively, while current WTI
implied prices would compare with peak and trough levels of US$102/b and US
$62/b, respectively.
• Spot WTIE prices of US$41/boe (vs. US$45/boe) were down 9% from last week.
Long-dated (2015–2018) WTIE prices of US$54/boe (vs. US$55/boe) were down
2% from last week.
• Our implied WTIE price (defined as an equivalent barrel economically weighted
approximately 75% to WTI crude oil and 25% to Henry Hub natural gas) is the
long-term price incorporated into our collective net asset value analysis, which
equates current share prices for our group to a P/NAV ratio of 100%. This analysis
incorporates an 8.5% after-tax discount rate. Please refer to Exhibit 1 for our WTI
equivalent price analysis.

Chart of the week: Performance of Gold Equities, A Period of Seasonal
Weakness
• This week we highlight the first quarter relative performance of gold and gold
equities over the past 3 years and average since the conception of GDX in 2006.
• In 2015 and 2014 the equities outpaced gold to start the year and in 2014 the gold
equities sold off in the second week of March and subsequently gave up much
of the 30-40% performance achieved in the first 10 weeks of the year (Exhibit 1,
Top). We remain cautious on gold equities as we enter a seasonally weak period.
• Weaker seasonality trends following the Lunar New Year (Exhibit 1, bottom)
coupled with likely US interest rate hikes in mid-year are expected to put
downward pressure on gold prices. Assuming US rate rises happen at the end of
Q2, we believe that this could be the low watermark for the year in a $1,150 to
$1,175/oz range. We then expect firmer prices in H2/15 underpinned by rising
inflation expectations as global growth picks up and Indian wedding and yearend holiday buying.

• TSMC reported impressive daily operation data on 40W source power and one
week worth of data on 80W upgraded source power.
• While the source power and ecosystem are far away from HVM readiness, we
note that this is the most significant progress reported on EUV source in over a
decade.
• While EUV, when available for HVM, might provide much needed relief for the
industry, we note that scaling performance beyond 10nm will require a lot more
than dimensional scaling.

Steel: January global output at 133.1mt, utilisation falls to 72.5%
Ioannis Masvoulas, CFA (Analyst)
• The World Steel Association (WSA) has announced January 2015 global steel
output at 133.1mt, slightly down from 133.7mt in December.
• On a daily production rate basis, January steel output was down ~3% yoy to
4.29mt/day, mainly due to weaker output in China.
• Global capacity utilisation stood at 72.5% in January 2015, down significantly
from 76.9% in January 2014.
• Chinese production down: China's steel production came in at 65.5mt in January
2015, or 2.11mt/day on a daily rate basis. The daily production rate was down
3.8% mom and down 4.7% yoy. The step back in China's January production rate
accounts for 80-85% of the decline in monthly global output on a year-on-year
basis.
• European production recovers from December low: Europe's steel production
came in at 17.2mt or 0.56mt/day in January 2015. The daily production rate was
up 12.2% mom (seasonally weaker output in December) and down 2.5% yoy. The
key countries of Germany (0.12mt/d), Italy (0.06mt/d), France (0.04mt/d) and
Spain (0.04mt/d) accounted for 47% of total European output.
• South American production up on Brazil's output: South America's steel
production came in at 3.9mt or 0.13mt/day in January 2015. The daily rate was
up 8.1% sequentially, and up 6.8% yoy on stronger output in Brazil.

Dissemination of research and short-term trade ideas
RBC Capital Markets endeavors to make all reasonable efforts to provide research simultaneously to all eligible clients, having
regard to local time zones in overseas jurisdictions. RBC Capital Markets' equity research is posted to our proprietary website
to ensure eligible clients receive coverage initiations and changes in ratings, targets and opinions in a timely manner. Additional
distribution may be done by the sales personnel via email, fax, or other electronic means, or regular mail. Clients may also
receive our research via third party vendors. RBC Capital Markets also provides eligible clients with access to SPARC on the Firms
proprietary INSIGHT website, via email and via third-party vendors. SPARC contains market color and commentary regarding
14
subject companies on which the Firm currently provides equity research coverage. Research Analysts may, from time to time,
include short-term trade ideas in research reports and / or in SPARC. A short-term trade idea offers a short-term view on
how a security may trade, based on market and trading events, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. A
short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports reflecting the
research analyst's views of the longer-term (one year) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons,
methodologies and/or other factors. Thus, it is possible that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term
'Sector Perform' or even an 'Underperform' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure
in the market; conversely, a subject company's common equity rated a long-term 'Outperform' could be considered susceptible
to a short-term downward price correction. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and
the firm generally does not intend, nor undertakes any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade
ideas may not be suitable for all investors and have not been tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and
investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact
your investment advisor or institutional salesperson for more information regarding RBC Capital Markets' research.
