1 Saudi Arabia 08 June 2017 January 18, 2010 Monthly update In our monthly note, we update price movements of major petrochemical products, manufacturing activity in key demand markets, recent announcements and valuations of Saudi petrochemical companies & peers. Price movement of key petrochemical products Products 1Month* YoY Ethylene 15.6% 15.2% HDPE 4.3% 3.5% LDPE 3.1% +4.2% Propylene +8.9% +21.1% Polypropylene 2.8% +5.5% Methanol 6.7% +17.3% Benzene 1.3% +20.8% Ammonia 16.7% 9.1% Urea 0.0% 0.0% * Last month change Research Department Pritish K. Devassy, CFA Tel , devassyp@alrajhicapital.com Saudi Petrochemicals sector s mixed in May; Trend likely to continue Saudi Aramco kept NGL prices unchanged for June. Aramco has kept Propane price unchanged for June at US$385/t, despite US propane price increasing 3.3% mom in May. Butane price for June also remained unchanged at US$390/t. On the other hand, Naphtha price declined for the fourth consecutive month, down by 4.2% mom in May, primarily on account of a ~3% drop in oil prices. Given the unchanged Propane price for June and the recent decline in Naphtha price, Propane discount (~10% or US$41/t) to Naphtha has reached its historical average. We expect nearterm Naphtha price to continue moving along with oil price, while NGLs prices for July could remain unchanged or marginally decline unless demand becomes strong or oil price increase. Product prices fell in May: Prices of most key petrochemical products that we monitor fell in May, in line with our expectations. Ethylene (15.6% mom) declined the most, due to rising supply from Iran and Saudi Arabia (source: Platts) coupled with weak upstream costs. Other polymer products such as HDPE (4.3% mom), LDPE (3.1%), Polypropylene (2.8%) and Polystyrene ( 2.0%) were also down, mainly due to weak demand in key markets like China amid low operating rates. Despite lower downstream demand, Propylene prices improved during the second half of May, posting a gain of ~9% mom in May on tight supply ahead of a likely maintenance shutdown at three PDH plants in China in June (source: Platts). We expect polymer prices to remain under pressure in June due to weak seasonal product demand. Meanwhile, Methanol prices (6.7% mom) extended its decline for the third consecutive month amid weak demand from the MTO plants in China (source: Platts). Urea prices remained unchanged in May after declining in the previous three months. s remained mixed in May: As expected, product spreads remained mixed in May with Ethane/Naphthabased plants witnessing a decline in its relevant product spread due to a higher decline in respective product prices, while PDH plants witnessed an improvement in spreads on account of a higher decline in feedstock prices. We believe that product spreads are likely to remain under pressure in the nearterm unless oil prices increase. Oil prices fell in May: Oil prices reversed its earlier monthtodate gain after OPEC s decision to extend its agreement till 1Q18. While OPEC countries believe that the ninemonth extension of the production cut agreement would reduce inventory level to historical fiveyear average by the end of this year, there are concerns of rising US crude production amid rising drilling activities, which could limit OPEC s efforts to balance the oil market. Meanwhile, US crude production reached 9.32mmb/d (up by 573,000 b/d yoy) for the week ended June 2. Further, US producers continued to add oil rigs for the 12 consecutive months in May 2017 (722 at the end of May vs. 697 at the end of April 2017; source: Baker Hughes). Additionally, crude inventory surprisingly rose by 3.3mmbbl last week, ending its eighth straight weekly decline. We believe OPEC and NonOPEC compliance level, US production and inventory data remain important to monitor in the coming months. US president s recent decision to withdraw a Paris climate pact renewed worries that US production could increase faster than expected, hinting a downside risk for oil, while the latest geopolitical tensions surrounding several Middle East countries snapping diplomatic ties with Qatar could pose nearterm upside risk though only slightly as Qatar s oil supply is not significant.

Our tracker model shows the stock price movements and relevant weighted price spread are highly correlated and we expect the trend to continue going forward. Based on our tracker model, we expect YANSAB, SAFCO and SABIC continue to trade lower in the nearterm on declining average product spread in Q2.

Explanation of Al Rajhi Capital s rating system Al Rajhi Capital uses a threetier rating system based on absolute upside or downside potential for all stocks under its coverage except financial stocks and those few other companies not compliant with Islamic Shariah law: "Overweight": Our target price is more than 10% above the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 12 month time horizon. "Neutral": We expect the share price to settle at a level between 10% below the current share price and 10% above the current share price on a 12 month time horizon. "Underweight": Our target price is more than 10% below the current share price, and we expect the share price to reach the target on a 12 month time horizon. "Target price": We estimate target value per share for every stock we cover. This is normally based on widely accepted methods appropriate to the stock or sector under consideration, e.g. DCF (discounted cash flow) or SoTP (sum of the parts) analysis. Please note that the achievement of any price target may be impeded by general market and economic trends and other external factors, or if a company s profits or operating performance exceed or fall short of our expectations.
