PTT: After the Tom-Yum-Kung Disease February 24, 2003 Piyaworn Chankanit Sunny Lo Jennifer Pawlowski Sam Shin
Agenda • PTT and the Industry • PTTEP • EGAT • Country Background • Privatization Process • Risk Assessment • Valuation • Recommendations • IPO Update
Case Summary • In November 2001, the Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT), privatized through the largest IPO in Thai history.
The Industry • Oil Reserves • Thailand has 300 mn barrels of proven oil reserves • In 1997 107,000 barrels/day produced • Natural Gas Reserves • Proven in 2000: 12,705 Bcf • Probable/possible reserves: 21,000 Bcf
PTT • Operations began in 1978, state-owned enterprise • Merger between Oil & Fuel Organization and Natural Gas Organization • Thailand’s only fully integrated gas and oil company • Industry leader in marketing and distribution of gas and oil products
PTT • Oil • Purchased in/outside Thailand • Customer distribution – 1519 nationwide service stations • Gas • Principal processor and distributor • Purchases from PTTEP and other producers in Thailand & Myanmar • Customer distribution – large volume (power plants) and small volume (local vendors)
PTTEP • Subsidiary of PTT, which has 61% equity interest • Exploration and production of natural gas • Owns 22% natural gas reserves • In 2000, involved in 13 projects • 9 with proven reserves, 5 exploratory • 3 on shore, 10 offshore
EGAT • Thailand’s principal state-owned power producer • PTT’s largest customer • Approximately 13% of PTT’s total 2000 revenue • PTT highly dependent on EGAT sales to generate sufficient cash flows • Reductions in EGAT demand highly affect PTT
Country Background • Strong decade of economic growth pre-Asian financial crisis • July 1997 Thai government floats currency (baht) resulting in immediate decline in value • Spread of financial crisis to Asia and then global markets
IMF Involvement • Post-Asian Crisis IMF granted $17.2 bn package to help institute economic reform • Restructure financial sector, increase competitiveness, improve legal environment for business sector • Thai government ordered to privatize many public industries • PTT set for IPO in November 2001
PTT Privatization • Original date in Q4 1998, but ultimately set for November 2001 • Expectations • PTT established as holding company and listed on Thai Stock Exchange • PTT would gradually sell off subsidiary holdings • Raise $14 bn in first 3 years of privatization
PTT Strengths • Dominant position in industry • Integrated natural gas operations • Gas earnings reduce exposure to oil price volatility • Low cost and growing upstream operations • Experienced management team
Cost of Capital Calculation • From ICCRC, the country rating of Thailand as of September, 2001 was 50.0 • Cost of Equity: 21.00% • Risk Adjusted rE: 17.00% • Cost of Debt: 10.20% • Cost of Capital: 12.23% (in 2002)
Recommendation • Macroeconomic conditions in 2001 much worse than today. Expected IPO price of Bt 37.5 – 65 overestimated PTT’s value. • Our valuation indicates a proper value between Bt 24.06 (FCFU) – 31.64 (AE).
IPO Update • November 22, 2001 Thailand secured largest privatization and fourth largest equity offering to date • IPO raised proceeds of $726 mn • Market capitalization of $2,741 mn • Final pricing at the Bt 31 and Bt 35 range • Currently trading at Bt 42 per share (02/0703)
