    RegionalMine & Dime - POSCO: Impact of power-shortage warning to be limited Simon Francis*

    Korea issued a preliminary power-shortage warning after a corruption scandal forced the suspension of two nuclear reactors. In response, the nations major steel mills have agreed to participate in the governments move to save electricity bycurtailing usage during the peak season.

    The Korea Iron & Steel Association announced on 9 June that its members will reduce their daily electricity consumption by 1.1m KW in August when the demand for electricity tends to spike due to air conditioning usage.

    China & Hong KongFrom the horses mouth - The latest on local government debt in China Qu Hongbin

    In its latest report, the State Audit Office estimates local debt has grown 6% pa since 2011, implying the local governmentdebt-GDP ratio has fallen from 26% to 23%

    HSBC estimates that total local government debt topped RMB12trn, of which 78% are bank loans Issuing municipal bonds and selling assets could be feasible ways to mitigate the liquidity risk

    IndiaIndia - Still moderating: May WPI inflation eased to 4.7% y-o-y Leif Eskesen

    May WPI inflation eased to 43-month low of 4.7% y-o-y (vs. 4.9% in April) led by energy, minerals and manufactured goods. However, food inflation picked up and inflation rose slightly on a sequential basis. Inflation is likely to remain relatively benign in coming months as commodity prices remain low and domestic demandremains soft.

    Concerns on PX oversupply risk and disadvantages in crudecost weigh on investor sentiment

    Ex-growth and lower dividend yield could lead to a de-rating

    Retain Underweight and TP at KRW60,000

    Continuing underperformance: Despite a rebound in benchmark refining margins fromUSD4.8/bbl to USD7.8/bbl in the past 7 weeks, S-Oils share price has dipped by c10% inthe past 10 days, extending ytd losses to -23% vs KOSPIs -5%. A weak 2Q13 earningsoutlook has partly contributed to this underperformance, but we believe our concerns onthe medium-term business outlook have started to play out.

    Disadvantaged crude cost: As we have anticipated, ME crude is becoming unattractively priced compared with international benchmarks on tightened OPEC supply. The Brent-Dubaicrude differential has narrowed from USD3-5/bbl in 2011-12 to USD2/bbl in 2Q13 qtd,making S-Oil who relies solely on Arabian crude less competitive. As Dubai crude has already

    become more expensive, the recent cut in Aramco OSP (Official Selling Price, a price premium that S-Oil pays over Dubai crude) has little positive impact. It may become more pronounced if OPEC cuts crude output in response to higher non-OPEC production.

    PX golden age likely over: PX the largest earnings contributor to S-Oil (c45% in 2011-13e) has been in a sweet spot in the past three years thanks to a surge in Chinas imports asa result of downstream PTA expansions in the country. New PTA plants in China have beendisplacing PTA imports and consuming more PX during the period, but as PTA self-sufficiency has risen (from 79% in 1Q11 to 131% in 4Q12 in terms of capacity) Chinas PXimports will likely decelerate while regional PX capacity grows by 47% in 2013-15e. Thedownturn has started already, evidenced by a cUSD200/t fall in PX-gasoline spread ytd.

    Lower dividend yield and ex-growth may lead to a de-rating: Well-disciplined high pay-out ratio (40-50%) has attracted investor interest to S-Oil, but a weak earningsoutlook suggests the dividend yield (4.1% in 2013e) will be far lower than in the past(7.2% in the past 10 years). The viability of the refinery upgrade project is still vague, soex-growth concerns may lead to a de-rating until the company draw a clearer blueprint.

    We maintain our UW and target price at KRW60,000. We have cut our 2013e DPSforecast from KRW4,500 to KRW 3,250 as we believe the company will likely retainmore cash for future maintenance and capex. Our target price is derived from applyingtarget PE multiple of 9.1x (unchanged), which is the Korean refining sectors historicalaverage, to our 12 months forward EPS. 2013e consensus EPS have fallen by 25% during

    the last 6 months, but its still 21% higher than our estimate. Key upside risk to our call isa sudden rise in crude oil price that may cause unexpected inventory gains.

    POSCO: Impact of power-shortage warning to be limitedPOSCO announces plans to cut energy use after shortage warning

    Korea issued a preliminary power-shortage warning after a corruption scandalforced the suspension of two nuclear reactors. In response, the nations major steelmills have agreed to participate in the governments move to save electricity bycurtailing usage during the peak season. The Korea Iron & Steel Associationannounced on 9 June that its members will reduce their daily electricityconsumption by 1.1m KW in August when the demand for electricity tends to

    spike due to air conditioning usage. In particular, POSCO plans to reduce its electricity consumption by 380,000 KW.This will be achieved by lowering the capacity utilization rates of its electric-arcfurnaces (including its stainless plant), as well as reducing working hours during

    peak electricity usage hours. The company and its subsidiary POSCO SpecialtySteel will also adjust revamp schedules to August from the original plans set for later this year.

    From a full-year perspective, impact on earnings to be minimal

    We believe these measures will have a limited impact on POSCOs annualshipments, with the recent completion of Gwangyang Blast Furnace #1. Followingthe revamp, the blast furnaces annual capacity increased from 3.28mt to 5.65mt,which should more than offset any volume declines from lower utilization rates atthe electric-arc furnaces.

    This shift should also allow POSCO better energy efficiency. Not only does the blast furnace have lower electricity costs relative to electric-arc furnaces, but BF#1 has been designed to enhance the energy recovery ratio and thus shouldtranslate into better margins. Also we note that POSCO already generates morethan 70 % of its own energy requirements, which should minimize any further risks on the downside.

    Valuation and risks for POSCO: Our target price of KRW420,000 is based on a2013e PB of 0.8x, given our 2013-15e ROE forecast of 7.1%. Key downside risksinclude: 1) an unexpected cut in product prices; 2) a sharp increase in raw material

    prices; and 3) a steep depreciation in the KRW.

    A note on our stock ratingsUnder HSBCs equity research model, the Neutral rating band equals the local hurdle rate (9.5% for China and Mongolia, 9%

    for Taiwan, 11% for India and 10% for Korea), plus or minus 10ppt for volatile stocks or 5ppt for non-volatile stocks. At the

    time we set our target prices for the stocks discussed above, they implied potential returns above, below, or within this band;

    accordingly, we rate the stocks Overweight, Underweight, or Neutral, with a (V) if they are volatile (see disclosure appendix

    for HSBCs definition of volatility). Potential return equals the percentage difference between the current share price and the

    target price, including the forecast dividend yield when indicated.

    The State Audit Office has published a report on its investigation of provincial and

    municipal government debt. In this issue of From the horses mouth, we summarise the

    results and key messages from the report.

    On 10 June, the State Audit Office (SAO) published the results of its latest investigation

    of local debt, covering 36 provincial/prefecture governments. It shows outstanding localdebt grew 12.9% from 2010 to 2012 (annual rate of 6.3%). Based on this report, we

    estimate that total local government debt is likely to have topped RMB12.1trn in 2012, or

    around 23.3% of 2012 GDP (down from 26.6% in 2010).

    The debt structure of the 36 local governments suggests that bank loans remain the largest

    source of funding, representing 78.1%. This number was 79% in 2010 when the SAO

    published its last audit report on local debt. Bond issuance is playing an increasingly

    important role in funding local government spending, accounting for 12.1% of the total at

    the end of 2012, up from the 7.1% in 2010. It has considerable potential to grow further.

    As for usage of the fund, 92% of these borrowing are channelled into transportation, cityinfrastructure, land reserve, medical and culture, agriculture and water conservancy,

    environmental protection and public housing construction. This paints a relatively similar

    picture to 2010, when more than 90% of local debt was used to fund similar long-term

    infrastructure projects. Therefore, there is no material change in the composition (and

    possibly also quality) of local government balance sheets.

    The 36 local governments are responsible for repayment or guaranteeing repayment of

    71.5% of the RMB3,848bn outstanding debt in 2012, down from the 84.4% in 2010.

    Although the overall local government debt level is still manageable and there is no material deteriorationin local government balance sheets, the SAO indicates there are some warning signs that justify the

    central government taking pre-emptive policy measures to curb local government solvency risk through

    debt restructuring.

    Firstly, the debt-to-income ratio measured by outstanding debt as a percentage of local revenuegeneration capacity exceeds 100% in 10 out of the 36 local governments surveyed. This number increases to 16, or 44% of the local governments surveyed, if we include local-government-guaranteedcorporate debt. In addition, when local-government-guaranteed corporate debt is included in thecalculation, 20 out of 36 local governments have a debt-service ratio of above 20% (the highest being67%). The average overdue debt ratio measured by overdue debt as a percentage of outstanding debt also rose by 0.48ppts to 0.75%.

    Secondly, outstanding debt raised via local government financial vehicles (LGFVs) increased by 11.3% pa and accounted for 45.7% of total debt in 2012, down from 46.4% in 2010. The report claims 151 out of the 223 LGFV financing platforms that were surveyed had difficulties meeting principal and interest

    payments in 2012, while 37 recorded a book loss in 2012. Illiquid assets and a lack of transparencyremain the main challenges facing most LGFVs.

    Thirdly, the report claims some local governments are heavily reliant on land sales for revenue. Of the 36local governments surveyed, 21 were committed to repaying 54.6% of their debt in 2012, just as incomefrom land sales contracted by 2.8%. Debt principal plus interest payments amounted to 1.25x of their land

    sales revenue in 2012.

    Fourthly, funding through trust loans, finance leases, sale-and-leaseback agreements, wealth management products and build-transfer contracts, with an implied interest rate of as high as 15-20%, increased byRMB215bn between 2011 and 2012. Given that total local debt increased by RMB300m in 2011, most of the 12.9% increase in outstanding debt should have occurred in 2012, in line with the strong growth intrust loans and bond issuance for the purpose of local government financing.

    Conclusion

    The SAO report confirms that Chinas overall local government debt level is still manageable, but withover 70% of the debt funded by bank loans, there is a liquidity problem. This is because there is a

    mismatch between the maturity structure of the debt used to finance long-term projects and the projectsexpected payback period. The good news is that local government debt is being closely monitored byBeijing. Given that the amount of debt maturing in the next two to three years is about 70% of total localdebt, we believe the authorities need to take decisive action to restructure local debt in order to avoiddisorderly defaults.

    HSBC believes Beijing has three options for restructuring local debt (see China Inside Out: Local debt:

    Three options , published on 1 August 2011.)

    Municipal bonds for loans swap. Local governments could issue municipal bonds and use the proceeds

    to pay back bank loans. In the near term, this would mitigate the risk of a maturity mismatch, as it would

    enable local governments to roll over old debt (short-term loans) into new debt (long-term bonds). In thelong run, as urbanisation continues in China, bond issuance opens a channel for local governments to raise

    funds needed for infrastructure investment in a more transparent and market-based fashion.

    IndiaStill moderating: May WPI inflation eased to 4.7% y-o-yMay WPI inflation eased to 43-month low of 4.7% y-o-y (vs. 4.9% in April) led by energy, minerals and manufactured

    goods. However, food inflation picked up and inflation rose slightly on a sequential basis. Inflation is likely to remain

    relatively benign in coming months as commodity prices remain low and domestic demand remains soft. Good

    monsoon rains may also be in the cards and help lower inflation. However, if the weakness of the INR persists and leads

    to higher imported inflation, this may partly counter the other moderating trends.

    Facts

    - WPI inflation eased to 4.7% y-o-y in May (vs. 4.9% in April), which is a shade below market expectations of 4.9% and our

    4.8% estimate.

    - On a sequential seasonally adjusted (sa) basis, WPI inflation rose 0.3% m-o-m (vs. -0.1% in April)- Core inflation (non-food manufactured goods) slowed to 2.4% y-o-y (vs. 2.7% in April). On a sequential basis, core inflation

    rose 0.1% m-o-m sa vs. -0.4% in April

    - The deceleration was driven by energy (7.3% y-o-y vs. 8.8% in April) and manufactured goods (3.1% y-o-y vs. 3.4% in

    April)

    - Meanwhile, primary articles rose 6.7% y-o-y (vs. 5.8% in April) led by primary food (8.2% y-o-y vs. 6.1% in April). The

    uptick in food was the result of cereals, vegetables, and protein-rich foods. However, non-food primary articles (4.9% y-o-y vs.

    7.6% in April) and minerals (0.6% y-o-y vs. 0.9% in April) continued to slow

    Implications

    Inflation continues to moderate on the back of the weaker global commodity cycle and softer domestic demand. However, theuptick in food inflation was a bit of a surprise, which may, in part, have reflected temporary weather-related factors.

    Looking ahead, inflation is expected moderate a bit further in coming months as commodity prices and domestic demand

    remains soft. Moreover, preliminary weather forecasts suggest we may get a normal monsoon, which would help lower food

    inflation, including when you consider last year's relatively high base following the below-normal monsoons. Of course, if the

    depreciation of the INR persists, it may partly counter these moderating trends by adding to imported inflation.

    However, as we head into the second half of the fiscal year we expect a gradual rise in inflation as commodity prices find a

    floor as the global economy regains its footing. Moreover, the gradual recovery expected in India during the second half of the

    fiscal year should also slowly build up inflation.

    In the meantime, however, we believe that the RBI will deliver a few more cuts (50bps in total) in light of the lingering

    economic softness and the moderation in inflation. The next cut (25bps) will likely come on Monday June 17, although the

    recent weakness in the INR may delay it.

    Bottom line: WPI inflation eased as expected led by weaker commodity prices and softer domestic demand conditions.

    However, food inflation firmed. The RBI is likely to ease monetary policy a bit further in light of this.

    Disclosure appendixImportant disclosuresEquities: Stock ratings and basis for financial analysisHSBC believes that investors utilise various disciplines and investment horizons when making investment decisions, whichdepend largely on individual circumstances such as the investor's existing holdings, risk tolerance and other considerations.Given these differences, HSBC has two principal aims in its equity research: 1) to identify long-term investment opportunities

    based on particular themes or ideas that may affect the future earnings or cash flows of companies on a 12 month time horizon;and 2) from time to time to identify short-term investment opportunities that are derived from fundamental, quantitative,technical or event-driven techniques on a 0-3 month time horizon and which may differ from our long-term investment rating.HSBC has assigned ratings for its long-term investment opportunities as described below.

    This report addresses only the long-term investment opportunities of the companies referred to in the report. As and whenHSBC publishes a short-term trading idea the stocks to which these relate are identified on the website atwww.hsbcnet.com/research. Details of these short-term investment opportunities can be found under the Reports section of thiswebsite.

    HSBC believes an investor's decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances such as the investor'sexisting holdings and other considerations. Different securities firms use a variety of ratings terms as well as different ratingsystems to describe their recommendations. Investors should carefully read the definitions of the ratings used in each researchreport. In addition, because research reports contain more complete information concerning the analysts' views, investorsshould carefully read the entire research report and should not infer its contents from the rating. In any case, ratings should not

    be used or relied on in isolation as investment advice.

    Rating definitions for long-term investment opportunitiesStock ratingsHSBC assigns ratings to its stocks in this sector on the following basis:

    For each stock we set a required rate of return calculated from the cost of equity for that stocks domestic or, as appropriate,regional market established by our strategy team. The price target for a stock represents the value the analyst expects the stock to reach over our performance horizon. The performance horizon is 12 months. For a stock to be classified as Overweight, the

    potential return, which equals the percentage difference between the current share price and the target price, including theforecast dividend yield when indicated, must exceed the required return by at least 5 percentage points over the next 12 months(or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). For a stock to be classified as Underweight, the stock must beexpected to underperform its required return by at least 5 percentage points over the next 12 months (or 10 percentage pointsfor a stock classified as Volatile*). Stocks between these bands are classified as Neutral.

    Our ratings are re-calibrated against these bands at the time of any 'material change' (initiation of coverage, change of volatilitystatus or change in price target). Notwithstanding this, and although ratings are subject to ongoing management review,expected returns will be permitted to move outside the bands as a result of normal share price fluctuations without necessarilytriggering a rating change.

    *A stock will be classified as volatile if its historical volatility has exceeded 40%, if the stock has been listed for less than 12months (unless it is in an industry or sector where volatility is low) or if the analyst expects significant volatility. However,stocks which we do not consider volatile may in fact also behave in such a way. Historical volatility is defined as the pastmonth's average of the daily 365-day moving average volatilities. In order to avoid misleadingly frequent changes in rating,however, volatility has to move 2.5 percentage points past the 40% benchmark in either direction for a stock's status to change.
