1 Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd Power Packed Performance BSE Code 514 NSE Code HINDPETRO Bloomberg Code Face Value 1 CMP Rs Market Cap Rs 18bn (as on September 1, 24) Share Holding Pattern 19% 7% 2% 13% Govt. of India 8% Banks, FIs, Insu Cos, Private Corporate Bodies Share Price Chart 51% Mutual Funds and UTI FIIs Indian Public Industry Background Last fiscal saw Indian economy registering a handsome 8.2% growth in GDP. Higher growth resulted from increased industrial activity and favorable government policies. As the wheels of economy raced ahead the need for fuel consumption grew accordingly. Petroleum product consumption increased 3.4% to 17.7mmt as against 14.2mmt in the previous year. The product-wise consumption break-up is as follows: Products Growth (%) HSD ATF Bitumen LPG Kerosene (1.9) Figure in mmt (million metric ton) The regulation on parallel marketing of kerosene saw HSD consumption growing at a healthy rate in later half of the fiscal, even registering a double digit growth in the last quarter of the fiscal. Interestingly, HSD consumption growth was negative in first half of the FY4. Automobile boom led to a growth of 5.2% in MS consumption, whereas Naphtha sales dropped by about 3% due to increasing acceptance of natural gas in place of naphtha. Bitumen consumption increased on account of large-scale road construction projects. The domestic refinery capacity in fiscal 23-4 increased to mmt from 115mmt in FY3. All the refineries put together recorded a throughput of 119mmt. In order to meet the new fuel specification as laid down by the Mashelkar Committee, the refineries are expected to invest close to Rs3bn Rs18bn by 25 and an additional Rs12bn by 21. Thus further capacity expansion are on anvil in conjunction with the upgradation plans, which is expected to increase refineries capacity to 14mmt by FY7. However, demand is expected to be around 124mmt by FY7, thus surplus in refinery capacity is likely to continue in the extended future. The country exported 14.6mmt of petroleum products and at the same time imported 7.87mmt of petroleum products (mainly LPG), thus becoming a net petroleum product exporting nation. Export of petroleum products jumped 56% in US$ terms. Export of ATF, HSD and MS grew 138%, 9% and 27% respectively. The fiscal saw unabated increase in crude prices, particularly in later half of the year. The average Brent crude oil prices increased to US$29/bbl in FY4 as against US$27/ bbl in the FY3. However, the increase in product price was higher than the increase in crude price, thereby leading to improved refiners margin across the world. September 3, 24 1

2 The fiscal also saw entry of private and foreign players viz Reliance, Essar and Shell in retail business, which is expected to drive major restructuring of the business and will considerably improve delivery mechanism to the consumers. The industry saw addition of more than 3, retail outlets (mostly by PSU companies) as against average yearly addition of 6 outlets during the period of , indicating the intensity of competition. Another important event in the industry was commissioning of first LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) terminal by Petronet LNG Ltd, the company promoted by oil PSUs and Indian financial institution for import and regassification of LNG. Natural gas is environment friendly and are expected to replace a major quantum of industrial liquid fuels in the days to come. Government Policies During first week of August the Government came out with a guideline on petroleum product pricing. Under the mechanism the oil marketing companies (OMCs) will be given autonomy to change prices within a band. The prices of MS and HSD will be based on mean of last three months and last 12 months average CIF prices of respective products. The OMCs can change prices within 1% of the price so arrived at and for changes beyond this band the OMCs have to take permission from the Oil ministry. This will help OMCs to stem downward pressure on marketing margins, and partially set-off losses on account of under-recovery on LPG and kerosene subsidy. The recent cut in custom and excise duty on petroleum products by the Government will put pressure off OMCs marketing margins. The cut in custom duty on petroleum products will reduced refinery margins and will affect standalone refineries the most. However with the fundamentals in favor of refineries, the duty cut will not have any severe impact on their balance sheet. Integrated company will not have any impact, as the lower refinery margins will be setoff against increased marketing margins. The ONGC and GAIL will be least affected, as there is no duty cut on crude oil and duty cut on LPG will not have any material impact, as LPG is a small part of their business. September 3, 24 2

8 EBITDA EBITDA recorded a CAGR of 2.5% over the last five years. EBITDA for the FY4 was at Rs36.4bn as against Rs31.3bn in FY3 thus showing a 16% yoy growth. The growth in EBITDA was due to deceleration in raw material cost for two reasons first, rupee appreciation in the fiscal brought down the crude import bill and second discount received from upstream oil companies on purchase under the directive of Government for sharing under-recovery on LPG and SKO subsidy. The company received a sum of Rs6.9bn from upstream majors a part of their share of subsidy on LPG and SKO. Crude Procurement During the year company procured 9.18mmt of imported crude oil worth Rs91.2bn, which accounted for two third of the total crude oil cost. The import bill on account of crude purchased stood at Rs79.4bn in FY3, representing 6% of its crude requirement. Thus indicating increased dependence on import. Exhibit 4: Gross Refinery Margins (GRMs) over the years 5 4 US$/bbl FY FY1 FY2 FY3 FY4 Bottomline PAT increased by impressive 24% to Rs19bn in FY4 as against Rs15.3bn in FY3 on account of better realization, increased volumes, sharing of under recovery on LPG and SKO subsidy by upstream companies and lower interest outgo.

11 Outlook Refinery The company is expanding its refinery capacity from existing 13mmtpa to 16.2mmtpa by the end of FY5. Though, we have surplus refinery capacity, the strong refiners margin prevailing throughout the world is making refinery attractive, even if the company has to export its surplus. Despite the recent cut in custom duties on petroleum products, refineries are expected to register high GRMs on back of continued favorable crude/ product prices, which augurs well for the company. Retail With the entry of new players and consequent increase in competition the industry dynamics will take a structural shift. The future would involve uncertain margins, change in dealer-distributor loyalty, high customer expectations and competition for experienced manpower. The company is expected to set-up 6 retail outlets during FY5, which will help it consolidate its marketing operations and will also act as an entry barrier for upcoming private and foreign players. Others During the FY4 the company commissioned its Mangalore-Hassan-Bangalore pipeline. The pipeline is being developed on a common carrier principle, which will help company diversify earning streams. The shift towards NG/LNG as cheaper alternate to liquid fuels like naphtha/furnace oil is a cause of concern on two counts, first loss of market sales and second, creation of surplus within the country. The company s definite but small step towards vertical integration will help stabilize volatility in its earnings and secure its input requirements. The company is also exploring farming in opportunities, where it will take a stake in a developed oil field, thus avoiding considerable risk involved in the exploration business. The company is also eyeing lucrative city gas distribution business, which offer great potential considering legislative move towards making all public transport run on cleaner and cheaper CNG (compressed natural gas).
