Romania Company update June 30, 2015 Oil&Gas Integrated Company OMV PETROM Waiting for better times ν Update We estimated 12m TP of RON 0.3817 (vs. RON 0.5238, previously) for OMV Petrom (SNP) stock and we downgraded the stock to Hold from Buy, given the insignificant upside potential of 0.7% from current market price. Main changes to our model refer to the inclusion of: lower oil price given the latest developments on the market; lower oil&gas production following the planned reduction of CAPEX for maintaining a stable production; a revision of power segment forecasts following a more depressed view on local electricity market; a new liberalization calendar for households gas price expected to be implemented with marginal positive impact on Petrom, as the company sells more to industrials than to households; changes of WACC assumptions. However, considering our new set of estimates, we have revised downwards our EPS by 32.3% on avg. for 2015-23e and clean EBIT by 33.2% on avg. for 2015-23e. ν Catalysts for the share price The outcome of drilling of exploration wells in Neptun Block and the results of the evaluation of the consolidated block potential should be the most important catalysts for the share price in coming years. The analysis of data gathered from Domino-2 exploration well hasn’t been finished yet as it requires a longer period of time than initially anticipated. An improvement in spark spreads isn’t seen by the end of the year, but gradually the situation might turn profitable for the company. However, marketing sales are in recovery mood and we expect to counteract to some extent the anticipated poor performance of Downstream Gas. We consider highly improbable the re-launch of the SPO for 9.84% this year, but the story might be different for the stake held by Fondul Proprietatea (FP), which is likely to decide to sell some of the SNP shares owned. Periods of higher risk aversion, triggered mainly by Eurozone debt crisis, should impede positive evolution of local stocks, including OMV Petrom one. ν 12m target price and methodology Our 12m TP is derived based on DCF model and exit approach to estimate terminal value. The peer group analysis showed a mixed picture with SNP stock trading at discounts to its major peers, namely 17.8%-41.9% in terms of EV/EBITDA 2015-16e in spite of better expectations of EBITDA margin for OMV Petrom, and at premium of 11.0% in terms of EV/EBIT 2015e and at discount of 24.5% in terms of EV/EBIT 2016e, respectively. ν Alternative scenarios and risks to our valuation The risks related to an unstable fiscal framework are very likely to manifest mainly next year, while persistent low oil price might hinder company’s investment plans with negative effects on medium-long term production outlook.

    Oil&Gas Integrated Company

    OMV PETROM Waiting for better times

    Update We estimated 12m TP of RON 0.3817 (vs. RON 0.5238, previously) for OMV Petrom

    (SNP) stock and we downgraded the stock to Hold from Buy, given the insignificant upside potential of 0.7% from current market price. Main changes to our model refer to the inclusion of: lower oil price given the latest developments on the market; lower oil&gas production following the planned reduction of CAPEX for maintaining a stable production; a revision of power segment forecasts following a more depressed view on local electricity market; a new liberalization calendar for households gas price expected to be implemented with marginal positive impact on Petrom, as the company sells more to industrials than to households; changes of WACC assumptions. However, considering our new set of estimates, we have revised downwards our EPS by 32.3% on avg. for 2015-23e and clean EBIT by 33.2% on avg. for 2015-23e.

    Catalysts for the share price The outcome of drilling of exploration wells in Neptun Block and the results of the evaluation of the consolidated block potential should be the most important catalysts for the share price in coming years. The analysis of data gathered from Domino-2 exploration well hasnt been finished yet as it requires a longer period of time than initially anticipated. An improvement in spark spreads isnt seen by the end of the year, but gradually the situation might turn profitable for the company. However, marketing sales are in recovery mood and we expect to counteract to some extent the anticipated poor performance of Downstream Gas. We consider highly improbable the re-launch of the SPO for 9.84% this year, but the story might be different for the stake held by Fondul Proprietatea (FP), which is likely to decide to sell some of the SNP shares owned. Periods of higher risk aversion,triggered mainly by Eurozone debt crisis, should impede positive evolution of local stocks, including OMV Petrom one.

    12m target price and methodology Our 12m TP is derived based on DCF model and exit approach to estimate terminal value. The peer group analysis showed a mixed picture with SNP stock trading at discounts to its major peers, namely 17.8%-41.9% in terms of EV/EBITDA 2015-16e in spite of better expectations of EBITDA margin for OMV Petrom, and at premium of 11.0% in terms of EV/EBIT 2015e and at discount of 24.5% in terms of EV/EBIT 2016e, respectively.

    Alternative scenarios and risks to our valuation The risks related to an unstable fiscal framework are very likely to manifest mainly next year, while persistent low oil price might hinder companys investment plans with negative effects on medium-long term production outlook. Local Government might publish a new royalty regime by end of 2015, but also a potential new tax regime of the Upstream activity of oil&gas companies.

    Next events IFRS H115 results to be released on 12 Aug15 and a conference call is scheduled for discussing half-year results on the same day.

    Market performance

    SNP vs. BET yoy share price performance, rebased

    Over the last 12 months, SNP shares underperformed BET, by 15.2% on avg. SNP stock price ascribed on a downward trend starting the end of Aug14, when it reached a maximum of RON 0.49 per share, with the exception of the second part of Dec14, first part of Apr15 and second part of Jun15, when it recovered part of the losses. We believe that future oil price evolution will remain the main driver of SNP share on short term.

    SNP vs. European peers price performance, rebased, RON denominated, fixed FX rate

    SNP shares barely overperformed by 0.9% on avg. its European peers for the period Jun14 - Jun15, mainly because of its good performance during the second half of 2014. This year, SNP underperformed its European peers.

    SNP price vs. Brent/Ural oil price, yoy evolution, rebased

    The evolution of SNP share price became more correlated with Brentand Ural oil price for Jun14 Jun15, translated into a positivecorrelation coefficient with Brent oil (0.96) and Ural oil price (0.95) for this period.

    Valuation

    Target price calculation and fundamental valuation

    We revised our rating on OMV Petrom stock to Hold from Buy, with a downward revision of our 12m target price (TP) to RON 0.3817 (Fair value per share of RON 0.3437) from RON 0.5238 (Fair value per share of RON 0.4469) and a tiny potential upside of 0.7%. DCF model is constructed based on the assumptions detailed in Key drivers and outlook section presented below.

    We have included in our DCF model the 2024 estimates, so the explicit timeframe spans now over 2015-24e. We have slightly changed our parameters for the terminal value assessment following adjustments of our estimations. Thus, we have used a normalized EBITDA (EBITDAn) of RON 6.40bn (i.e: average EBITDA for 2007-24e), compared with EUR 7.51bn (average EBITDA for 2007-23e) used in our previous report to estimate terminal value. Also, we increased the multiple of EV/EBITDA to 3.5x vs. 3x in our previous report, as a result of higher multiples for mature peers multiples as compared with our previous report (average of median EV/EBITDA18 is approx. 3.7x for largest comparables) and lower discounts at which SNP stock is trading in terms of EV/EBITDA15.

    As regards WACC estimations, we have included also 2024e WACC, with several major changes on WACC parameters as following:

    1/ LT risk free rate revised down to 3% from 4.5% for each year of the period 2014e-2017e and from 4% for 2018-23e, respectively. Moving forward, we use 3.5% as LT risk free rate for discounting the terminal value;

    2/ equity risk premium (ERP) has been reduced to 7% for 2015e and kept unchanged at 7% for 2016-18e, maintained at 6.5% for 2019-23e, and 6% starting 2024e-onwards;

    3/ beta coefficient () was reduced to 1.05 from 1.1 in our previous report;

    We have reduced our estimation for companys cost of debt (before tax) given local low credit demand and easing monetary policy, while we havent changed the target debt/equity from our previous report. All the above modifications led to a downward revision of WACC by 1.16% on avg. for 2015-23e.

    The table below depicts WACC assumptions:

    A new Fiscal Code, which contains several fiscal measures aiming at reducing taxation as detailed in Key drivers and outlook section, was approved by local Parliament on 24 Jun15.

  • OMV PETROM

    June 30, 2015 5

    These fiscal easing measures are planned to be enforced starting with Jan16. However, given the constraints stated by the deficit targets assumed by local authorities under Fiscal Compact provisions (structural budget deficit to be equal or below 1% of GDP starting with 2015), we expect an increase of other taxes, which should counterbalance the positive effects on consumption of fiscal easing measures. The uncertainties lie ahead and it is very difficult to define and model different scenarios as unexpected changes might appear.

    Nevertheless, we have decided to gather all possible additional taxes or increases of current taxes that might influence OMV Petroms performance negatively under the royalty tax, although only a part of amount is strictly referring to royalty tax. In our base case scenario, we have used a royalty tax of 16% (average) starting with 2016-onwards and we have derived 12m TP of RON 0.3817 per share. Consequently, we have run another sensitivity analysis on different values of royalty tax that might be applied in two periods with 5 years the first one and 4 years the second one. All the other assumptions were kept unchanged from base case scenarios, and the modifications on fair value and 12mTP are presented below:

    Assumption on royalty tax Fair Value (RON/share)

    12mTP (RON/share)

    Chg. of 12mTP (%) to 12mTP

    16% in 2016-2020; 12% for 2021-2024 0.3583 0.3978 +4.2%

    12% in 2016-2020; 10% for 2021-2024 0.3906 0.4337 +13.6%

    10% in 2016-2020; 8% for 2021-2024 0.4104 0.4557 +19.4%

    14% in 2016-2024 0.3635 0.4037 +5.8%

    Peers comparison We have noticed a significant reduction of OMV Petrom (SNP) shares trading discounts compared to its peers from our last report. Currently, SNP shares are trading at discounts of around 17.8%-41.9% in terms of EV/EBITDA for 2015-16e. In terms of P/E, SNP shares are trading at premium of 8.6% for 2015e and at discount of 33.1% for 2016, respectively. The expectations in terms of EBITDA margin for Petrom (avg. of 36.32% for 2015-16e) have been maintained at higher levels as compared to its peers (avg. of 11.97% for 2015-16e). However, the unfavourable local fiscal environment, low oil price and increasing risk aversion triggered by a possible Grexit might refrain investors from taking significant positions. The results of peers analysis are presented in the table below (closing prices as of 26 Jun15):

    We made several changes to our estimates in the E&P segment to reflect a new outlook on oil prices and on oil and gas production levels for 2015-24e. SNP share price lost approx. 18.3% yoy, while EuroStoxx/Oil&Gas (RON, fixed) declined by 13.2% yoy, losses driven by declining crude oil Brent price from USD 113.8/bbl on 26 Jun14 to USD 62.8/bbl on 26 Jun15. Below, we include the summary of adjustments in our assumptions: 9 Groups hydrocarbon production outlook for the company is strong correlated with oil

    price forecasts. The low oil price environment isnt supportive for investments in increasing and/or maintaining production, especially in case of OMV Petrom (SNP) which has significant mature fields. Companys officials stated that the investments allocated to workover jobs and new wells drilled will be scaled down, while negative effects on hydrocarbon production will be seen in coming future. The Q115 results have already shown that workover jobs dropped by 17% yoy in Q115, while for the entire year the estimates are for 30% yoy decline, and number of new wells to be drilled are seen to halve as compared to 2014. We estimated the Groups hydrocarbon production to go down by 2.2% yoy in 2015, as a consequence of lower investments in Romania, and in spite of good results posted in Q115, which were triggered by previous years CAPEX. We dont expect improvements in Kazakhstan production level due to technical constraints and we estimate a drop of 7.5% yoy. As regards domestic production, we expect a decline by 1.9% yoy, mainly on lower gas production (-2.3% yoy), and oil production is estimated to decrease by 1.5% yoy in 2015. All in all, we expect the Groups production to go down by 0.8% CAGR 2015-24e, with risks tilted for a higher downside. However, the investments in offshore exploration will continue, with ongoing drilling campaign in Neptun Deep as Pelican South-1 exploration well finalized in Mar15, Dolphin-1 well completed early May15, while Ocean Endeavor drilling rig moving to the new drilling location. The data from Domino-2 exploration well are being evaluated and the announcement of the results was delayed from initial estimation (early 2015). For the moment, we havent included in our model any potential hydrocarbon production from Neptun Block, as further assessments are required. Also, the company mentioned the focus on deep exploration targets in partnerships with the current status of exploration wells as following: 4000 Piscuri (Repsol JV) reached target depth and is preparing for testing, good hydrocarbon showing in multiple reservoirs; 6500 Baicoi Deep (Repsol JV) will resume drilling in 2016. The 700 Burcioaia (Hunt Oil JV) drilling has been completed, plugged and abandoned. OMV Petrom, unlike some of its peers, has a low gearing ratio (5.6% as of end-Mar15) and a large maneuver space to raise additional financing sources to cover its investment program, even if low oil price environment continues to persist. On 21 May15, OMV Petrom (SNP) announced that it contracted a multi-currency credit line worth EUR 1bn from 17 national and international banks with 5 years maturity that can be extended for another 2 years. The company decided to replace a similar credit facility worth EUR 930m contracted in 2011 maturing in 2016, which hasnt been used up to now. The credit line will be used by OMV

    Petrom (SNP) for financing current operations when needed in a low oil price environment. No details regarding the costs of the credit line have been disclosed.

    9 Brent oil price evolution has been in a recovery mood in the past months, after reaching the minimum level of the last five years on 13 Jan15 at USD 46.59/bbl. Since the lowest level, oil price increased by 36% as of Jun15, but the upward trend isnt expected to continue in coming months. SG analysts expressed their view for rangebound trading of crude oil (for WTI, Brent and the global oil complex) in coming 18 months in SG Commodities Review report One swallow does not a summer make released on 3 June 2015. SG analysts believe that the global rebalancing will be driven by US crude oil production in the next 18 months, especially in the second half of next year. US supply has finally stopped growing due to sharp cuts in Upstream spending and drilling, hitting a plateau in the last three months, with declines expected soon. This has already provided support for prices, and helped to set a floor. On the other hand, according to the above mentioned report, US oil rig counts should stabilise and increase gradually in Q315. US supply will increase gradually, but once again with a long 3-6 month lag to rig count increases. As this dynamic develops, and the markets look ahead toward US supply increasing, this will exert downward pressure on prices, and will help to set a ceiling. As regards OPEC decisions impact on future evolution of oil price, SG analysts expect that OPEC will continue to let prices to balance the market, without any policy or quotas change. In case of an agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear policy, which is highly expected by international analysts, Iran oil exports wont weigh significantly on the market, as it should take some time for resuming oil production. So, Iran production should have a marginal and gradual influence until 2016, according to SG analysts. The latest SG forecasts for ICE Brent oil are: USD 62.3/bbl for 2015e (vs. USD 55.2/bbl previously), USD 65/bbl in 2016e (flat as compared with previous estimation published in Mar15), USD 70/bbl for 2017e (flat as compared with previous estimation published in Mar15), USD 75/bbl for 2018e (vs. USD 72.5/bbl, previously) and USD 75/bbl starting with 2019e-onwards. We have incorporated a slightly different evolution pattern for Brent oil price (as presented in the table below) together with our estimation for differential Brent-Ural, which should be narrower given the poor oil price environment. As a result, Groups average realized price is seen to fluctuate between USD 52.89/bbl in 2015e and USD 71.65/bbl in 2024e. OMV Petrom entered into oil price hedges for a volume of 15,000 bbl/d of the Upstream oil production (approx. 20% of the group annual oil production) to protect the Groups cash flow from potential negative impact of oil price between Jul15 and Jun16. Via a zero premium collar program, OMV Petrom has secured a Brent price floor of USD 55/bbl by giving away the upside above USD 69/bbl throughout Jul15 to Dec15, above USD 73/bbl through Jan16 to Mar16, and above USD 82/bbl through Apr16 to Jun16. As our estimates are above the collars floor and below the collars cap for the periods specified in the hedging contract, we havent included any profit from hedging instruments above presented for the time being.

    9 We believe that two forces will trigger Groups production costs in opposite directions, mainly on short term. One factor is related to FX developments, as appreciation of USD against EUR and indirectly against RON should prove supportive for a decline of domestic production costs in local currency. Also, the reduction of tax on special constructions to 1% in 2015 from 1.5% previous year and its elimination starting 2016 together with low inflationary expectations with influence on material costs are other factors weighing on

  • OMV PETROM

    June 30, 2015 8

    decreasing production costs in Romania. On the other hand, the expected decline of Groups production should increase average production cost per bbl. Thus, we have included in our model, Groups production cost between USD 14.25/bbl in 2015e and USD 17.06/bbl in 2024e. Otherwise, we expect a tight control of cost management in order to preserve to some extent companys EBIT during period of low oil price.

    9 We have made changes to the estimated USDRON FX rate based on BRD and SG economists estimates to reflect central banks monetary policy decisions and prospects for US and Eurozone economic growth. USDRON is seen at 4.0 for 2015e, at 3.95 for 2016e, at 3.85 for 2016e and at 3.6 from 2017e-onwards.

    9 We have made also changes to the liberalization calendar of gas market for households as detailed in Downstream Gas. However, the largest impact of gas market deregulation calendar is reflected in Upstream, and not in Downstream Gas.

    9 In a low oil price environment, fiscal outlook becomes critical in assessing companys

    future performance. After two years of relative stability regarding taxes, although at higher levels as compared with 2012, changes to current regulatory framework included in the new Fiscal Code and Fiscal Procedure Code have been approved by the Parliament on 24 Jun15. Among the most important modifications expected to be applied starting with Jan16, we may mention: the cut in regular VAT rate from 24% to 19%, elimination of tax on special constructions, the cancelation of the additional excise duties of Euro 0.07 per 1 liter of fuels introduced back in Apr14. These fiscal easing measures should have a positive influence on demand, but they might not prove sustainable under the restriction of meeting public deficit targets. Hence, is likely to see other taxes to be raised in order to diminish higher fiscal deficits foreseen starting 2016.

    Another unknown variable is the royalty regime, which has been subject of negotiations between local authorities and oil&gas producers for the past two years, at least. We reiterate the fact that the public authorities announced their intention to set a new level of royalty tax to be applied for new exploration licenses and also that they will establish a different royalty for on-shore and off-shore licenses. Under current circumstance, chances for higher royalty tax for on-going licenses as a result either of higher tax rate or of methodology changes are going up. Another possibility is to introduce new taxes in relation with the exploitation of hydrocarbon fields which will rise the level of overall taxes paid by the company.

    Moreover, the applicability of the windfall tax expires in 2015, and we believe it wont be renewed for 2016. As we have previously mentioned in this report, its rather difficult to foresee what fiscal regulatory changes might be applied for coming period, but is likely to see new taxes in order to counterbalance the cut of VAT rate, mainly. We tried to reflect potential new taxes and a higher level of royalty tax under a generic name of royalty tax.

    Overall, we see clean EBIT E&P to fluctuate between a minimum of RON 2.36bn (2016) and a maximum of RON 3.15bn (2021), but any change in fiscal regulations, CAPEX pursued and exploration activities success within the next years might have a significant impact on EBIT estimation.

    Dowstream Oil and Gas (former R&M and G&P)

    Downstream Gas In the past months, discussions over resuming the liberalization of gas price for households revived and apparently a new calendar is waiting Governments approval, hopefully during H215. The gas price for households is proposed to increase by RON 7/MWh to RON 60/MWh in the second half of the year. Also, an increase of RON 6/MWh will be applied annually to the households gas price until 2018, when the gas price for households is seen at RON 78/MWh. We have incorporated in our model this scenario, as we believe that is only a matter of time until the Government approves it. Regarding the industrials gas price, we dont see any change from current levels.

  • OMV PETROM

    June 30, 2015 10

    Also, we dont forecast significant transformation of the gas supply and demand pattern, with a very balanced gas market in coming years. Hence, domestic gas consumption is likely to exhibit no increase until 2018 and only 1% per year from 2019-onwards.

    In Europe, the gas prices might experience an increase after recent tightening of production at Groningen, Europes largest gas field. According to SG research publication European Gas Special released on 23 Jun15, Less Groningen gas means more Russian gas and higher prices, if the tightening of gas production at Groningen lasts in coming months, following the spate of earthquakes in the region, higher need for Russian gas and a possible increase of gas prices will be recorded.

    Given the above mentioned features of local gas market, we dont see gas imports growing significantly from levels recorded in Q115, so local gas price should be only marginal influenced.

    Power segment After electricity prices posted gains in the last quarter of the year, the losses hit the market and drove electricity prices on Day Ahead Market below 3-year average period between Mar15 and May15. The monthly average of electricity price on Day Ahead Market declined by 5.4% yoy to RON 122/MWh in Jun15. The net domestic electricity consumption increased by 1.7% yoy in Q115, while our forecast for the whole year points to an upside of 1% yoy in 2015 and another 1% yoy for 2016. With more power supply from hydro, wind and solar power plants to come during spring and summer, we dont see major improvement of power prices from current levels.

    The past months evolution pattern of domestic power prices didnt differ too much from the ones at European level, with SG analysts expecting that 2015 to be a difficult year for generators, partially driven by declining fuel prices, and by still low overall carbon prices, as stated in SG Commodities Review report One swallow does not a summer make released on 3 Jun15.

    Consequently, the outlook for the power segment remains challenging with spreads under pressure. We expect Brazi power plant to operate below its capacity throughout this year, with

    gradual improvement in coming years. Moreover, a three-week planned outage of the Brazi was in place by 7 May15.

    Downstream Oil

    Downstream Oil segment seems to have embarked on a recovery path, as marketing volumes are seen to be higher this year, while the advance of refining margins on Western markets might not continue in coming months due to current overcapacity on local and European markets. The low oil price environment together with positive effects from modernization of Petrobrazi refinery should support expectations for a positive overall performance of Downstream Oil segment.

    In Q115, marketing volumes went up by 5% yoy to 0.75m tons on improved demand from retail clients (+4% yoy of retails sales) and commercial clients (+6% yoy of commercial sales), mostly as a result of lower prices. The forthcoming driving season should improve further marketing performance this year, while lower taxation starting 2016 should amplify the recovery of this segment.

    Consequently, we estimated clean EBIT15e at RON 448.4m (vs. RON 252.7m, previously) and EBIT16e at RON 671.1m (vs. RON 610.9m, previously), mainly because of higher volumes and poor oil price environment. In our valuation model, we did not consider positive/negative inventory effects in P&L lines, because they are not recurrent and we might have false upsides/downsides biases on EBIT.

    All segments for one bottom line

    We have downgraded our sales estimation by 15.9% on avg. for 2015-23e, mainly as a result of the downward revision of oil price and hydrocarbon production.

    For 2015e, we expect sales of RON 19.43bn (-9.8% yoy) and clean EBIT of RON 2.64bn (-49.3% yoy). We anticipate a financial loss worth RON 194.8m (vs. financial loss of RON 277.6m, previously). Thus, gross income should reach RON 2.44bn in 2015e, by 16% lower than a year-ago period, whilst net income after minorities is seen at RON 2.03bn (-3.3% yoy), as 2014 result was dampened by one-off items (impairment in Kazakhstan and of Brazi power plant).

    CAPEX plan and financial resources from 2015e onwards

    As we have already mentioned, the company plans to reduce its CAPEX, if the low oil price environment will continue. However, the majority of capital expenditures will be directed on E&P segment, without cutting resources allocated to offshore exploration programs. OMV Petrom will put up for sale selected marginal fields in order to optimize Upstream portfolio, while in Kazakstan will pursue further water injection schemes in both TOC and Komsomolskoe fields in order to secure reservoir pressure and slow down the natural decline of production. The levels for CAPEX and clean CCS EBIT recorded by OMV Petrom for different values of Ural Crude oil price are presented in the chart below:

    CAPEX seen at RON 4.3bn in 2015e, down by 14.3% from our last report

  • OMV PETROM

    June 30, 2015 14

    We continue to keep our view of no threat for OMV Petrom to find resources to finance its CAPEX, keeping the medium-long term financial stability of the company. First reason to support our view is low companys gearing ratio at 5.6% as of end-Mar15 vs. 3.3% as of end-Dec14.

    Second, significant operating cash flow (OCF), as our estimations point to an annual avg. OCF of RON 6.2bn for 2015-24e, will cover the forecasted CAPEX (annual average of RON 4.24bn).

    Dividends

    We cut payout ratio from our previous report as a result of lower cash-flow generation power with payout ratio seen at 35% for 2015-17e (vs. 30.14% for 2014), 38% for 2018-21e and 50% for 2022-24e, if our cash-flow scenario proves to be correct. Fiscal regulations changes and the developments in Black Sea might affect also the companys dividend policy.

    Significant operating cash flow will cover CAPEX
