The JPM E&P group is up 12.3% YTD. E&Ps trading at 102% of NYMEX NAV. The stocks are trading at 102% of NAV using NYMEX prices (long-term prices of $4.34/Mcf gas and $85.54/Bbl oil). In 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, the group traded at an average of 89%, 96%, 88%, and 109% of NYMEX NAV, respectively. E&Ps trading at 6.1x/5.2x 2013E/2014E EBITDA. Assuming the J. P. Morgan price deck, the group is trading at 6.1x 2013E EBITDA and 5.2x 2014E EBITDA. The median E&P stock is trading at $2.60/Mcfe on an EV/proved Mcfe basis. NAVs imply $4.86/Mcf and $82.86/Bbl. Based on our NAV calculations for the E&P group, the E&P stocks are discounting a flat Henry Hub gas price/wti oil price of $4.86/$82.86. Our DCF NAV company models allow us to calculate the flat commodity price deck that matches the current stock prices to the companies NAVs.

Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe: J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst s (or the analyst s team s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst s (or the analyst s team s) coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of the stocks in the analyst s (or the analyst s team s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock s expected total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts coverage universe. If it does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
