• What is the credit health of my suppliers?
• Can I identify ―at risk‖ suppliers?
– Can I assess the credit quality of each supplier?
– The Impact to my revenue as part of a “critical factor”?
– Operational dependability in terms of uniqueness and disruption
– Can I measure the operational risk to my supply chain when there are limited substitutes?
• Can I monitor suppliers for early warning signals of credit deterioration?
• Do we have a consistent and transparent framework for our supply chain?

Supply Chain Management
A Major Focus
―Supplier relationships and performance management are increasingly important. Managing supply risks and
reducing avoidable costs require close integration and visibility into suppliers‘ operations, even more so when
suppliers are immature or constrained..‖
Source: Ernst & Young‘s ―Supply Chain Management in Shale Environment‖
―The market is quick to punish companies that report supply chain disruptions. On average, affected companies‘
share prices dropped 9 percent below a benchmark group during the two-day announcement period (i.e. the day
before and the day of the announcement).‖
Source: PWC‘s ―From Vulnerable to Valuable: How Integrity Can Transform a Supply Chain‖
―We‘ve moved from everybody can do their own thing in supply chain to a much more centralized or centre-led
approach in our industry—learning from other industries […] We must keep that focus.‖
Source: Head of Procurement Supply Chain at BP
―Oil and gas companies‘ supply chains are playing an increasingly vital role […] from steel and drill bits to
transportation and catering – [it] is required to meet global oil and gas production demand.‖

Assessing Supply Chain Risk: BP Case Study
7. Permission to reprint or distribute any content from this presentation requires the prior written approval of S&P Capital IQ. Not for distribution to the public.
Fundamentals Based Peer Analysis:
BP European Suppliers
Industry: Energy
• 54 suppliers in Europe: 43 unrated, 11 rated by Standard & Poor‘s Rating
Services
• Unrated companies have limited information compared to rated, therefore
they need to be assessed in a different manner and from a different
perspective:
– Monitoring changes in suppliers’ financial strength and credit quality
– Relative peer analysis of BP’s Energy suppliers
– Credit Scoring Models, Stress Testing, and Probability of Default evaluation
highlights the level of risk in BP’s supply chain

Relative Peer Analysis
A Fundamental Credit Health Ranking Of BP‘s Suppliers
•Suppliers are ranked
based on a number of
Operational, Solvency
and Liquidity metrics
•The largest group of
companies in the lower
quartile of BP’s supply
chain are from Oil &
Gas Equipment &
Services
•Depending on BP’s
exposure to these
particular suppliers,
further in-depth
analysis may be
required

Criticality Of Suppliers – BP Supplier Example
– Important to reduce exposure to risky/volatile suppliers.
– BP can monitor performance of its suppliers and reduce deals with the most risky ones.
– Suppliers with low credit quality and high criticality pose a greater risk as they are crucial to BP‘s
operations, regardless of credit quality
Position Of Suppliers In Oil & Gas Equipment & Services Industry
Criticality scale assesses revenue dependence and
operational reliance from 1 (low) to 4 (High)

A Holistic View Of BP‘s Supply Chain
Monitoring Suppliers Credit Performance
• Surveillance template enables analysis of entire portfolio of BP‘s suppliers
• Combine proprietary data (such as criticality), auto populate financials, and conduct
analysis on the broad portfolio
• AGR Group ASA which was in the bottom quartile in relative analysis has seen its share
price fall by 36% in last twelve months.

AGR Group ASA
• BP‘s own credit score is ‗a‘ whereas the average credit score of its suppliers is seven
notches below at ‗bb-‘
• A deeper look at relative credit health of BP‘s suppliers reveals AGR group ASA as the
lowest placed supplier
• One might want to look for suitable alternatives in case mitigation of risk associated with
an AGR default is needed
Probability of AGR defaulting in next twelve months

Peer Comparison of Profitability:
Peer Comparison of Operational Efficiency:
• Analysis using Credit Health Panel shows that AGR was not only one of the lowest ranked suppliers when
compared to all of BP’s suppliers, it is also one of the lowest ranked amongst a group of its 41 GICS peers
globally
• AGR Group is placed in the lowest quartile for Operational, Solvency, and Liquidity metrics
• It also utilizes more debt given its financial leverage ratio of 52% compared to the group average of 34%
• Its EBITDA interest coverage ratio is significantly lower at 3.56x compared to a mean of 50.13x

Quantitative Creditworthiness – AGR Group
• AGR‘s credit score is
most sensitive to
Operating Margin (1st)
and Asset Turnover (2nd)
• Changing the value of
these ratio‘s provides
valuable insights into the
resilience of this
company
Scenario Analysis
• Even if the Operating
Margin and Asset
Turnover are reduced
by 10% each, the score
remains at ‗b-‘

Finding Potential Alternatives
• We shortlisted 24 Oil & Gas Equipment & Services companies operating in Norway
• AGR is at bottom quartile relative to its industry and geographic peers
• The Credit Health Panel shows that, for example,TGS-Nopec Geophysical Company ASA has a better
quantitative CreditModel score and lower probability of default than AGR
Norwegian Oil & Gas Equipment & Services

Monitoring Your Supply Chain Exposure
• Applying holistic approach to evaluate supplier exposure and pockets of risk concentrations enables risk
managers to conduct due diligence effectively
• We look for alternatives to AGR Group based on key fundamental metrics such as debt to capital ratio and
total assets
Moving From Relative To Absolute Analysis
• TGS Nopec Geophysical Co. ASA, Sevan Marine ASA, and On & Offshore Holding AS are placed at the top
of the table in terms of debt to capital ratio, total assets and operating income to revenues.
• Petroleum Geo Services ASA has the highest total assets amongst this group
• BP can use a mix of solutions to select a replacement supplier if required using relative, fundamental and
internal assessments
• Criticality should also be assessed in the final decision making process

Summary And Uses Of BP‘s Supply Chain Risk Management
• Out of BP‘s 54 European Suppliers in Energy industry, only 11 are currently rated. This
requires using other risk assessment metrics to evaluate financial strength of suppliers
• Using quantitatively driven models such as Credit Model, we extend the coverage to 46
companies with credit scores.
• Using absolute quantitative models you can stress test financial ratio‘s to determine how the
creditworthiness changes in an adverse scenario
• Relative peer analysis identifies AGR group, which is placed at the lower end of BP‘s
suppliers and within its own industry
• Looking for potential alternatives, we shortlisted Norwegian Oil & Gas Equipment & Services
companies and focus on top quadrant in relative analysis, before we perform an absolute
analysis.
• TGS-Nopec, Sevan Marine, On & Offshore Holding and Petroleum Geo Services can be
potential alternatives to AGR Group based on industry, geography and fundamentals
