Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the most popular metric for measuring the overall wellbeing of an economy. GDP takes into account the value of all the goods and services that are produced within a given year. Recently, US GDP growth has been strong, posting positive growth for six straight quarters as demonstrated in the chart below.

The Chart above validates oil price volatility within the last five years (from its 2011 high of $113.93/b to the recent low of $38.22/b). Since the summer of 2014, oil has seen an alarming decline of around 50% and currently sits at $41.85/b. This dramatic falloff can be explained by an oversupply of oil in the market due in large part to the US shale boom propelling an exponential increase in domestic oil production Source: whitehouse.gov which began in 2012.

Despite a global economic slowdown headlined by economic crises of China and Greece, the US still continues to have healthy GDP growth. We believe this will change in 2016 affirming that the current state of the global economy will finally begin to affect the US. Red flags close to home such as NAFTA partner Canada’s recent recession to the possible bailout for US territory Puerto Rico signals that an economic slowdown may come sooner than most think. We predict the US to post negative GDP growth in either Q2 or Q3 of 2016 and expect lower GDP growth in Q1 and Q4 of 2016 compared to the historical average of 6 3.24%. Source: cfainstitute.org

34% decline in the S&P 500 energy index in the past year. Low oil prices hinder companies that specialize in oil exploration and extraction as oil prices reflect these companies revenue per barrel drilled. In turn, these low oil prices provide an opportunity for refiners who use crude oil as input and therefore reduced oil prices lower these companies’ cost of goods sold and increase their gross margins.

We expect that oil prices will eventually make a significant recovery sometime in 2017 due to gradual global economic recovery, policy changes, and OPEC continuing to decrease its oil output. However, we believe that low oil prices are here to stay for the foreseeable future with an average price of $55/barrel in 2016. Source: nasdaq.com

The ban is a hot button issue with much debate. In December of this year, the Fed is expected to The popular opinion is that lifting the ban will raise the federal funds rate by 0.25%. increase jobs and GDP in the long run, but the greatest impact will be felt in the oil markets.4

We believe that lifting the ban will cause US oil prices to rise due to the decrease in the domestic oil supply while in turn lowering global oil prices due to the flood of oil from new US exports. This means that both US and global oil prices will converge to the point where they will equal one another. The biggest winners will be the US drilling companies as they will be able to sell their crude oil at a higher price.

Defining the Industry

The Oil, Gas, & Consumable Fuels industry is composed of three large segments: 1. Exploration & Production, 2. Transportation & Delivery 3. Refining & Marketing. These three segments make up what is often referred to as the integrated process.7 Integrated oil companies (i.e. Exxon and Chevron) specialize in all three of these facets. and are hard to categorize into only one of these criteria.

Company Analysis In addition to Valero producing fuels such as gasoline and diesel in their refineries, “specialty products” are also produced and included in Valero’s refining Business Products and Strategy segment. These specialty products are produced at specific refineries and are used to better diversify the company into other sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture. Asphalt, sulfur, and petrochemicals are the three biggest specialty products that are sold by the refineries. Asphalt is sold to construction companies for use in road work and repair. Valero is a large producer of sulfur which is marketed and sold to customers in the agricultural sector who manufacture fertilizer. Finally, petrochemicals are produced and sold to chemical manufactures which further process these petrochemicals into products such as paints,

adhesives, and plastics.1 Provided by: valero.com

Dividends and Buybacks

For the second time this year, Valero has increased Valero is valued very low right now compared to their quarterly dividend. Currently Valero is paying the past few years. Valero’s trailing P/E is out an annual dividend of $2.00 which is a yield of currently 6.78. There have been times in the past 5 2.87%.12 This new dividend was announced after strong 2015 Q3 earnings where Valero declared that they would increase their quarterly dividend to $0.50 from $0.40. Previously in 2015, Valero increased quarterly dividends by $0.125 to $0.40 in January. In 2014, Valero paid out $554 million of its $3.8 billion net income in the form of dividends and seems committed to improve upon that for 2015 and onward.13 That commitment seems to hold water years where Valero traded at a P/E of 20 which is as the annual rate of dividend growth over the past over three times its current value.14 three years was 51.8%.13 We believe that Valero will Source: Seeking Alpha continue to disperse their profits to shareholders through dividends.

Valuation Metrics Valero’s Price to free cash flow is also low at just 7.1. This gives Valero a cash flow yield of 14% which “theoretically could mean Valero could finance a dividend yielding 14% through its free cashflow.”14 This information seems to reaffirm our position of a possible increase in dividend yields in the near future.

Production and Distribution

Valero refines its products from crude oil. Crude oil is rich in hydrocarbons and refiners break down or “refine” these hydrocarbons into different products Source: Y Charts such as diesel fuel and gasoline. To isolate the

Having a high revenue/employee value indicates that Valero is much more productive than its competitors. This could also mean that since Valero can generate competitive revenues with less labor, they have a lower wage expense which can lead to higher profit margins. Valero is also the largest refiner in the industry based on refining capacity. This is a huge advantage in an industry with historically low margins where volume becomes a key Data provided by: Market Watch and Respective 10K’s component in the ability to produce significant profit.

Valuation Discussion Relative P/E Ratio Revenue Decomposition

Valero’s two reported sources of revenue are through We used a relative P/E ratio in order to get a better its Refining and Ethanol segments. For refining, to idea of how Valero compares to similar firms in the find revenue per refined barrel, we took the reported industry, comparing Valero to the following firms: volume of refined barrels produced per day and Phillips 66, Tesoro, HollyFrontier Corp, Western converted it to barrels/year. Then, we took the Refining and Marathon Petroleum. We produced an refining segment revenue and divided it by our average forward P/E ratio of 9.0. After multiplying refined barrels/year. The process was the same for this P/E by our 2015 EPS of 8.04, we found a relative ethanol except instead of barrels/day we were given price of $72.72 and $77.88 for 2015 and 2016, gallons/day. Readers may be confused as to why our respectively. calculated revenue/gallon is larger than current gas prices. This is because ethanol production is This signals that Valero is more accurately valued subsidized by the government and these subsidies are than we previously thought. While concerning, this already built into our revenue/gallon making them valuation should be taken with a grain of salt. As we appear inflated when compared to normal gas prices. have explained earlier, oil companies tend to suffer from abnormally lower P/E ratios when oil prices are Refining accounts for roughly 94% of the revenue, down and are historically low regardless of oil prices. with ethanol making up the other 6%. We forecast an Because of this, oil companies are difficult to value initial large drop off in Revenue in 2015 due to the using a relative P/E method. However, this does help lower gas prices. Currently, Valero is not producing reaffirm our hold rating even if the results may be at its refining capacity. We believe this will change slightly skewed downward. when we predict a lifting on the US oil export ban in 2017. The lifted ban will squeeze Valero’s margins and force them to increase out to its capacity of 2.9 Dividend Discount Model Million barrels/day. Valero is in the process in expanding capacity in one of its Texas refineries that Our Dividend Discount Model estimated an intrinsic will allow them to increase capacity by 100,000 value (after partial-year adjustment) of $81.72, which barrels/day.
