5 5 1. Why do we need to hedge? - Macroeconomic conditions unstable - Production costs keep rising - Seasonality & re/de-stocking cycles - Changing trading environment on the underlying physical markets - Trade patterns constantly shifting (FOB/CIF arbitrage) - Raw material prices volatility - Changing correlation between the asset classes
6 6 Short term macroeconomic conditions: Global overview Percent points % Industrial capacity utilization Index points Index Global manufacturing sentiment 7 9% 8% 8 6 7% 6 5 6% 4 4 5% 3 4% 8 Jul 8 Jul Jul Jul Jul USA China World EU Japan (Index) Macroeconomic conditions remain challenging with Capacity Utilization flattening and PMI below levels We remain long-term positive but at the same time we cannot ignore some warning signals: 8 USA EU JAPAN CHINA Global Risk Aversion - Industry capacity utilization still below pre-crisis levels - Debt and de-leveraging driven slowdown worldwide - USD strengthening not US government policy but rather flight to quality - Stagnant manufacturing and sluggish lending - EU27 demand is weak, not expected to pick up this year Jul 8 Jul Jul Jul Jul ICAP Shipping International Limited

8 8 Short term market outlook: Seasonality in play Iron ore imports seasonality Domestic iron ore production seasonality Mt 7 14Mt Feb Mar May Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Average Domestic production of iron ore subject to strong seasonal fluctuations But prices well supported on the back of higher production costs The import trend when seasonally adjusted suggests that imports should rise towards Q4 ICAP Shipping International Limited
9 9 Short term market outlook: China s iron ore re/de-stocking cycles The iron ore production costs in China are generally 2-3 times higher than that in Australia / Brazil. The price differential between domestic ore and international ore will affect China s import appetite. A falling international iron ore prices will eventually push China to rely more on the international market. $/tonne China s iron ore imports & price differential China IO Imports Price Diff Mln Tonne 7 65 The current port stocks are available for around 32 days of consumption, whereas this level was 21 days in average during 6-7, and 28 days in average during -. The average level of iron ore stocks at China s large and medium-sized steel plants is around 21 days, the current level is only 13 days The poor profit margin explains why steel plants postponed their restocking activities. 5 Sep- Dec- Mar- - Sep- 45 Days 4 3 Iron ore stocks at plants & plants profit margin Large and medium-sized steel mills Monthly profit margin (rhs) 5% 4% 3% 45 Days Iron ore stocks at China s major ports Days of production IO stocks (rhs) Mln T 8 2% 1% % -1% 5-2% Sep- - May- Sep- - May- Sep- - May- Sep ICAP Shipping International Limited

11 2. Forward markets overview - Paper iron ore trading volumes - Correlation between spot & forward for steel, iron ore and coking coal - Market volatility
12 ICAP Shipping International Limited Iron ore swaps market: Trading activity The trading volume has increased significantly over the past years Q2 registered the highest so far trading volume on record (23mln tonnes). Q3 is expected to far exceed that record Around 8mln tonnes are traded each month as cleared swaps We understand that the share of the bilateral transactions keeps falling gradually and it is currently at around 15-% of total We estimate that in the annual US$ value of the market will exceed $bn with volume in metric tonnes reaching nearly 14mln tonnes This represents around % of the underlying physical market (seaborne import flow into China) Monthly trading volume (Mln tones) Mln tones cleared bilateral Oct- - Oct- - Oct- - Oct- 14 Mln mt Mln mt 16 Quarterly trading volume vs. Annual US$ value Market volume (mt) Annual market volume (us$, rhs) Bn us$ $22 $ Q2 Q4 Q2 Q4 Q2 Q4 Q2 Q4 Annual trading volume vs. Annual US$ value Market volume (mt) Annual market volume (us$, rhs) $ $18 $16 $14 $ $ $8 $6 $4 $2 Bn us$ $22 $ $18 $16 $14 $ $ $8 $6 $4 $2 $

16 16 3. Statistical arbitrage between the spot & paper steel production margins - What are the cost elements for producing 1 tonne of steel? - Which production cost centers can be hedged against future adverse price movements? - Trading scenarios
17 17 Arbitrage: Steel producers cost structure Emissions Ferroalloys 2% 3% Fluxes 3% Depreciation 6% Electricity Other costs 2% 2% Refractories Labour IO freight 1% 2% 2% Coal freight 1% Oxygen 1% Scrap freight % Iron ore 23% Interest 7% Scrap 9% Margin 22% Coal 13% The major five production cost centers are: iron ore, coal, scrap, interest on existing loans and asset depreciation These are however not the most volatile one Volatility of -15% is normal for cost elements such as alloys, emissions, electricity or freight The diagram above shows in dark blue the costs which can and should be hedged We also include these in our statistical arbitrage model ICAP Shipping International Limited
18 18 Arbitrage: The alchemy of hedging the steel price Iron ore Iron ore can be hedged through the available swaps market The average daily swaps volume is 45-5, metric tonnes which gives sufficient liquidity for a small/medium size steel mill to hedge its exposure out Coal Coal can be hedged through the nascent coking coal swaps market The liquidity is poor with many bilateral transactions typical for the early stages of any market development Using thermal coal swaps as a proxy should not be excluded as an option on this stage Freight Freight can be hedged through the available swaps market The average daily swaps volume is 4-4.5mln tonnes which gives sufficient liquidity for any hedging operation Scrap Scrap can be hedged through the available swaps market The liquidity is poor with many bilateral transactions typical for the early stages of any market development Ferroalloys Ferroalloys can be hedged through the available futures markets for base metals Two of the most important alloys in the steel making process are ferroaluminum (FeAl) and ferrochrome (FeCr). The spot market price for FeCr is >+95% correlated to aluminum future price therefore we choose aluminum to hedge also the ferroalloy exposure Electricity & Emissions Electricity can be hedged through the available futures European power markets Emissions can be hedged through the available futures EUA markets These are very liquid markets which give sufficient liquidity for any steel mill to hedge ICAP Shipping International Limited
19 19 Arbitrage: Spot (cash) vs. Forward (paper) margin usd/t Cash vs. Paper production margins FORWARD MARGIN SPOT MARGIN Trading scenarios Scenario 1: Both steel price and raw material costs likely to increase Buy the raw material components in the forward margin Leave your steel price exposure open 25.. Scenario 2: Both steel price and raw material costs likely to fall Buy steel futures Leave your raw material exposure open Scenario 3: Paper margins > Cash margins Buy raw material components Sell steel futures Scenario 4: Paper margins < Cash margins Sell raw material components Buy steel futures. Aug Oct Dec Feb Aug Oct Dec Feb Both the spread between the margins and the ability to trade in/out each of the components create attractive opportunities ICAP Shipping International Limited
20 Arbitrage: Conclusions 4. Reasons to trade the paper margins: - Challenging macroeconomic conditions - Mitigating the underlying physical market uncertainty / volatility - The forward curve provides market transparency - Improve profitability through locking attractive raw materials price - Improved liquidity across the asset classes involved in the hedge
