Yield (%) August 2014 FY15 Results Update Sector: Oil & Gas ONGC CMP: INR402 TP: INR485 Buy EBITDA above estimates, but PAT impacted by dry well write-offs: ONGC reported above estimate EBITDA at INR126b (est. INR114b; +50% YoY, +13% QoQ) primarily due to lower subsidy at INR132b (est INR149b), and (b) lower opex at INR28b (est INR32b). Adjusted for subsidy differences, adj. EBITDA is largely in-line. However PAT at INR48b (est. INR61b; +19% YoY and -2% QoQ) was impacted by (a) higher D,D&A at INR64b (est. INR42b; +64% YoY and +7% QoQ) led by INR35b dry well write-off at KG-DWN-98/2 and Rajamundri blocks, and (b) lower other income at INR10b (est. INR13.5b; -22% YoY and -45% QoQ) impacted by lower interest income. FY15 net realization at USD47.2/bbl (v/s USD41/bbl in FY14): FY15 gross realization stood at USD109.7/bbl (+6% YoY and +3% QoQ) and post the subsidy of USD62/bbl net realization stood at USD47.2/bbl (+17% YoY and +44% QoQ). Production uptick expected: FY15 standalone production in oil was at 5.5mmt (-0.3% QoQ) and bcm (-2.7% QoQ). ONGC guides FY15 standalone production for oil at 23.5mmt (v/s 22.3 in FY14) and for gas at 24bcm (v/s 23.3 in FY14). Expect under recoveries to halve by FY16 v/s FY14: We estimate diesel reforms to cut gross under recoveries by ~46% by FY16 to INR750b. However, we model ONGC s subsidy reduction only at 28% as we believe given the precarious government finances it will first keep the benefit before passing it on to upstream. Upside potential to our FY15 gas price assumption: We model gas price of USD4.2/mmbtu in FY15 and assume est. USD5.3/6.3/mmbtu in FY16/17. USD1/mmbtu hike increases ONGC s EPS by ~6%. Maintain Buy: We remain positive on ONGC due to (1) likely increase in net realization due to lower subsidy driven by continued diesel price hikes, (2) significant upside potential of decision on gas price, and (3) attractive valuations. The stock trades at 9.4x FY16E EPS of INR42.7 with an implied dividend yield of ~3%. Our SOTP-based target price for ONGC is INR485. Buy.

2 ONGC (standalone): Quarterly performance snapshot FY15 subsidy payout of INR132b; net realization at USD47/bbl ONGC s subsidy payout stood at INR132b (v/s INR126b in FY14 and INR162b in FY14). Gross realization stood at USD109.7/bbl, while the subsidy was at USD62/bbl resulting in net realization of USD47.2/bbl, +17% YoY and +44% QoQ.

While on the gas front it guides for standalone production of 24bcm and including JV at 25.34bcm. KG-DWN-98/2 update: ONGC management indicated that DGH is yet to reply its submission of its Declaration of Commerciality (DoC) of the KG-DWN-98/2 discoveries. ONGC has submitted DoC for 9 oil & gas discoveries to DGH. ONGC will continue to capitalize interest cost on the Mozambique related loans, while Oil India had indicated that it will be expensing the same from P&L. 13 August

4 FY15 operational highlights Oil production (excl. JV) stood at 5.5mmt (-1.4% YoY and -% QoQ); sales (excl. JV) were at 4.72mmt (-1.6% YoY and -0.1% QoQ). Gas production (excl. JV) stood at 5.65bcm (down 2% YoY, -2.7% QoQ); sales (excl. JV) were at 4.38bcm (-4.4% YoY, -3.9% QoQ). JV oil production was 0.95mmt (+4.2% YoY, flat QoQ), while JV gas production was 0.38bcm (-5.7% YoY, +6.1% QoQ). QoQ gas production increase was led by higher Panna-Mukta production Oil standalone (excl. JV) production down 1.4% YoY (mmt) Oil sales (incl.

5 High well write-offs increases D,D&A sharply on YoY basis ONGC s D,D&A expenses in FY15 stood at INR64b (v/s est. of INR42b); +64% YoY and +7% QoQ. The sharp YoY increase is led by INR35b dry well write-offs. ONGC incurred high exploratory write-off cost at INR35b (v/s INR16b in FY14) primarily due to abandonment of deep-water wells at KG-DWN-98/2 (write-off at ~INR17b) and Rajamundri (write-off at ~INR9b) As on March 2014, management indicated that it had carried exploratory wells of INR100b on its balance sheet. Despite the current quarter write-off the exploratory wells on the balance sheet are largely same due to further additions. ONGC s depreciation declined led by increase in useful life as per the companies Act Historically it has been observed that the D,D&A charges are normally higher during second half of the year as ONGC typically charges the well write-offs at the end of the year when it reviews its exploration performance.

6 Valuation and view We remain positive on ONGC due to (1) likely increase in net realization due to lower subsidy, driven by continued diesel price hikes, (2) Decision on gas price hike in FY15, and (c) attractive valuations. Key things to watch are: (1) continuance of diesel reforms, (2) clarity on benefit of gas price hike, (3) subsidy sharing, and (4) visibility on production growth. Upside potential to our gas price assumption: We model gas price of USD4.2/mmbtu in FY15 and assume est. USD5.3/6.3/mmbtu in FY16/17. USD1/mmbtu hike increases ONGC s EPS by ~6%. Timely execution of diesel reforms and passing on of benefits of gas price hike could lead to a re-rating. The stock trades at 9.4x FY16E EPS of INR42.7 with an implied dividend yield of ~3%. Our SOTP-based target price for ONGC is INR485. Buy. ONGC: Valuation Summary Source: MOSL ONGC: Key Assumptions 13 August

9 ONGC: an investment profile Company description ONGC, a Fortune 500 company, is an eminent exploration and production (E&P) company in India. With over 300 discoveries, it has established in-place reserves of 6.9b ton of oil equivalent (btoe), with ultimate reserves of 2.4btoe. It currently accounts for ~68% of India's domestic oil and gas production. Through its 100% subsidiary ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), it has equity investments in E&P blocks in 16 countries. Downstream presence is marked through its subsidiary (71.6% stake), MRPL. Key investment arguments Diesel reforms to significantly cut under recoveries: Recently announced diesel reforms (a) increasing diesel prices by INR /ltr every month and (b) Market pricing for bulk buyers; would lead to a significant cut in under recoveries (~46% reduction in under recoveries in FY16 over FY14). Gas price hike could add significantly to ONGC s earnings: We model gas price of USD4.2/mmbtu in FY15 and assume est. USD5.3/6.3/mmbtu in FY16/17. USD1/mmbtu hike increases ONGC s EPS by ~6%. Increased capex, IOR/EOR projects to provide production growth: Impressive RRR>1 for last 6 years. Production likely to be flat in short-term, however we expect volume growth in long term led by IOR/EOR, marginal fields and monetization of the discovered fields. Increased capex in the large unexplored NELP acreage could result in significant reserve accretion in future. Key investment risks Ad-hocism in subsidy sharing. Delay in implementation of announced diesel reforms. Acquisition of overseas assets at high valuations against stiff competition from China. Slowdown in deep water development due to technological barriers. Recent developments In FY15 ONGC reported 5 discoveries (2 New Prospects and 3 New Pools) Valuation and view The stock trades at 9.3xx FY16 EPS of INR42.7.
