Judging from te body-language of te incoming administration regarding te oil and gas sector and te approval of te recommendation for te complete removal of subsidy by te FAAC committee in April 2014, we tink subsidy reforms are now imminent in te near term. Wat s more, te 2015 budget makes zero allocation for subsidy payments. but it may take a longer time tan te market anticipates We tink te full deregulation of te sector via total subsidy removal olds te maximum benefits to players in te downstream. However, we note tat tis is practically a daunting task given current political dynamics. Moreover, complete subsidy removal remains unpopular among major oil producing countries globally. Te current scenario owever makes market players worse off given mounting pressure from FX weakness. More importantly, it is unsustainable for te government in ligt of current fiscal pressures. We terefore envisage a pased deregulation of te sector, were subsidy removal is staggered alongside domestic refining capacity build-up. Ultimately, a full deregulation of te sector will lead to market-determined petroleum prices. Tis will support top-line growt for players even as market determined pricing of petroleum products will attract significant level of private investment in te sector wic will lead to increased competition, iger level of productivity and lower prices. In spite of te direct impacts o from macro eadwinds, te Oil and Gas sector as outperformed te market in te last one year NSE ASI Oil & Gas Apr-14 Aug-14 Dec-14 Apr-1 NSE, United Capital researc Analyst: Kayode Omosebi kayode.omosebi@unitedcapitalplcgroup.com Team lead: Kayode Tinuoye Kayode.tinuoye@unitedcapitalplcgroup.com
2 United Capital Researc Furtermore, a deregulated downstream sector will attract interest in local refineries and pipelines. We expect te privatization of te four (4) stateowned refineries 2 in Port-Harcourt (PHRC) and 1 eac in Kaduna (KPRC) and Warri (WRPLC) to commence tis year wile greenfield refineries are expected to begin production in te near term. We also foresee some downstream players embarking on investment in refineries as te sector opens up. Petrol Demand to it 41mn liter/day in 2015, wit plenty room for upside Petrol demand is expected to be about 41mn liter/day in 2015 from 39mn liter/day in Demand for petrol may grow to 51mn liter/day in 2020 and could it 60mn Current liter/day Price by Te projected 24.3 increase in petrol consumption 2015 in Year 2015 Hig stems from increasing 25.2 industrial, transportation, tecnology and infrastructure needs as well as residential needs mostly for 2015 Year Low 17.0 cars and generators. We do not expect a quick fix in te power reform by te YTD Return -3.6% incoming administration, terefore PMS demand from generators will remain ig in te near Average term. Volume We believe (mn units) Nigeria is going troug 21.7 a process of energy transition wic Average will drive Value demand traded ( for N'mn) energy going forward. On average, fuel contributes c.90% of revenue for te quoted downstream players wile PMS contributes c.78% of revenue. Te projected increase in petrol demand will support revenue growt; a drop in cost of sales (post-deregulation) wile efficient local refineries will improve revenue margin of downstream players. PMS Consumption per liter in Nigeria (Historical & Forecast) Billions Source: CITAC, United Capital Researc Crude Oil Price Slump; negligible impact on downstream players In a deregulated market, drop in oil price will bode well for downstream players as crude oil prices correlate positively wit te all-in cost of refined products. For subsidy-paying countries, tis also means lesser occurrence of under-recoveries on account of selling fuels below cost. Altoug oil marketers mostly get fully compensated for te under-recoveries, payments from te government come wit long delays wic usually forces players into eavy borrowing and stretced balance seets. Tis said, it is important to note tat since te drop in crude oil price is supply driven, rater tan demand, tere is noting to worry about for downstream players. However, despite te decline in input costs for deregulated products suc as AGO and lubricants, te existing regulated environment continues to restrict expansion in te operating margins of players in te downstream.

4 United Capital Researc Foggy Climate of Uncertainty will stiffen Q earnings It is no news tat te 2015 budget of N4.5trn wic as been passed by bot te upper and lower camber as sown total exclusion of fuel subsidy payment. Toug we expect te budget to be reviewed by te incoming administration, we tink te lack of clarity and foggy climate of uncertainty will affect operations of players in te sort term and stiffen Q numbers. Te recent devaluation of te Naira as affected operation of downstream players in terms of forex differentials of under recovery of subsidy and a longer period in dollar bidding to import petrol. Tis as led to a reduction in importation of PMS over te past four monts. Furtermore, downstream players ave been faced wit eavy financial burden due to outstanding subsidy payments; te resultant effect of tis is an increase in impairment carge on loans to downstream players by te bank. Te lack of clarity and foggy climate of uncertainty certainly means tat te banks will be muc more cautious in extending credit to te downstream sector wile players will ave to tread carefully in future imports. However, we believe tis issue is temporary as we expect te incoming administration to provide clarity on te future of te industry wic will guide operators. but diversification and retail expansion will support profitability in 2015 Players in te industry ave begun to pus sales of non-regulated petroleum products troug enanced distribution and retail network. Petrol sales promotes sales of oter petroleum products, terefore evenly distributed service station will elp drive sales of oter products. Furtermore, growing market sare will play a major role. Petrol margin is slim at 10% of pump price, terefore pusing volumes and growing market sare is key to operating profitably. Players wit low market sare will end up as fringe players wit eavy investment outlays yielding low returns. OANDO and TOTAL dominate te market Market Sare by turnover based on recent fillings FO 10% Eterna 7% Mobil 6% MRS 6% Oando 40% Conoil 12% Total 19% Source: Company Fillings, United Capital Researc
5 United Capital Researc Strong brand name, retail outlet distribution, good tecnical support and strategic assets will elp support retail expansion. We expect te big downstream players to expand teir operations into refining post deregulation. Forte Oil and OANDO ave diversified teir business to nontraditional petroleum marketing activities, wit FO s acquisition of Geregu power plant and OANDO s acquisition of ConocoPillips s assets; we expect tis to drive growt for bot companies. We expect to see greater efficiency in cost management Te recent drop in petrol pump price means an increase in subsidy payments, wic ave often been delayed; ence players ave ad to borrow more to offset cost due to lengtened subsidy reimbursement on te back of government s weak fiscal position. Given our outlook of a long route to full deregulation, we believe cost management will be a major driver of profitability in te medium term. We expect opex-to-sales ratio to drop by 3bps to 7.2% for 2015 but te retail drive of most players will exert pressure on OPEX. We tink players like Mobil will continue to be pressured by its iger operating leverage relative to te industry wit opex-to-sales ratio of 10% versus peer average of 7.5% despite its past stellar performances in cost efficiency. Overall, we tink downstream players will need to manage cost efficiently especially for deregulated products. We expect to see a decline in industry cost-to-sales to 88.3% and an average of 88.5% for te next 5 years toug reduction in petrol price and oter cost factors will pressure top line and stiffen margin in te sort term.
