Adam Grimes Presents Valero Energy
Sector Returns vs. Price of Oil • Conventional wisdom says Energy sector companies make more money when oil prices are high. • But… is this true? And does this equal higher stock prices? • Created an equal-weighted annual log change index of the Energy sector dating back to 1988.
The Oil Price Model: Thesis • “It’s all about oil.” • Goal was to make a limited-scale (large models have thousands of moving parts) supply/demand regression model for oil price. • A complicated task: • relevant data not readily available. • increased supply does not always mean lower price (because at some times and price ranges, supply is the dependent variable). • If possible, would provide an “apples to apples” baseline across the sector.
World Demand • Current (2006) world use is 86.8 million barrels/day. • Projected to grow about 2.1% per year. • Much of the new demand is from China and India. (China is the second largest world consumer of oil, and responsible for 40% of the world demand growth in the past four years.) • Depletion of working fields is 4 mmb/d annually (and accelerating). • Total new additions of 27.5 mmb/d are needed to meet demand to 2010.
Supply • Realistic estimates for new additions are 6-8 mmb/d. • Even the most optimistic forecasts (CERA) are for 11.5 mmb/d additions. • Demand forecasts are 27.5 mmb/d…
The Oil Price Model: Assumptions • Central America will continue supply growth linearly. • Asia will continue to have problems getting its oil to world supply. • Africa will do very well increasing supply. • Middle East will increase ~3%/year, but will flood market after 2010. • Demand not seriously constrained by higher prices (some roll-off above $80/bbl). Once prices fall, demand is robust.
Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) • Largest independent US refiner. Capacity of 3.3 mbd (crude throughput) is 19% of total US capacity. • High proportion of capacity is heavy/sour capable. This has allowed them to capture the spread between sweet/sour crude. • Most new reserves are sour. Is this a sustainable competitive advantage? • Extensive retail network allows them to capture retail margins which are less volatile than refining margins. • “Ideal” level of integration into pipelines and distribution networks.
Valero Energy Corporation • Management has demonstrated excellence in managing growth through organic projects and timely acquisitions. • Refining margins should remain strong through 2010 • Little to no excess capacity. No new refineries expected soon. • Has also shown fiscal discipline by being willing to walk away from projects.
VLO: Modeling Assumptions • Revenue: used Oil Price Model (R2=.9586, p-value < 7*10-16) • CoGS: depends on refining margins (which in themselves depend on the price of oil), but presence of retail operations smooth out fluctuations in margins. • CapEx: tracks revenues closely (based on historical data for VLO and examination of peer group). Will be no large CapEx outlay for new refineries. Expenditures will continue as in the past for upgrading refineries to heavy/sour and to comply with EPA restrictions. • Capital Structure: less borrowing in “good years”. • Margins are very volatile through 2010. Refinery margins increase above historical highs (not above current 2006 numbers) for the supply-constrained periods. Margins get hit hard when new supply comes on-line after 2010. • 9.51% discount rate. 5% terminal growth rate.
Strengths Largest independent US refiner. Large capacity for sour crude. Expanding that capacity. Good financials. Strong management. Performance will be tightly correlated to energy prices. Risks Operational risks: fires, shutdowns. Regulator risks: EPA. Highly volatile earnings. Performance will be tightly correlated to energy prices. VLO: Summary of Strengths and Risks
VLO: Summary Recommendation • Buy a large position. This is the major directional play for the sector. • Not for the faint of heart. Possibility of 4-6 month pull back and expect a wild ride! • Potential for large gains outweigh the risks. • Position size will be determined by sector weighting.
