Even though refining margins are passing the bottom in 3Q14, they are unlikely to improve much as oil prices should remain weak for the time being. While we are positive about S-Oil s petrochemical and lube oil divisions whose profit contribution is relatively larger than other refiners, this has already been reflected in valuations. Lower refining margin in 3Q14 is structural: We believe the lower refining margin in 3Q14 is due to structural reasons. First, crude oil prices keep falling. Second, China s diesel demand is weakening and diesel exports rising, which is dragging down prices. Moreover, as China s industrial production is slowing, there is less demand for diesel. And with homegrown refining capabilities getting stronger, exports of surplus products are growing. China s refining capacity and petroleum product exports should continue to grow, while petroleum product prices remain weak as well. Better profitability from PX and lube base oil is a pro: At present, S-Oil s petrochemicals comprise 70% paraxylene (PX) whose profitability has been improving from 3Q14. Another plus is the profitability from lube base oil continues to get better. In 2Q14, the PX-naphtha spread fell to as low as USD205/tonne. And when PX profitability turned downward, companies made aggressive utilization adjustments. This sent prices higher and the PX-naphtha spread now stands at USD376/tonne. But as refiners are set for massive PX capacity expansion through 2016, any PX profitability upswing is unlikely to last for the long-term. 3Q14F OP to turn upward and reach W21.8bn: Despite poor refining margins, better PX and lube base oil profitability should help OP turn upward and reach W21.8bn in 3Q14F. For the refining business, we expect margins to pass the bottom in 3Q14 and move into positive territory from 4Q14. However, earnings are unlikely to make a meaningful improvement in And if refining margins do not recover, shares will likely see a limited upside.
