7 What kinds of businesses have exposures? Consumer Goods Travel and Leisure Retailing Construction Sales of beer or ice cream (eg) are highly correlated to temperature. Marketing specialists know the relationships very well, and use the data to manage their weather risk, often through supply chain relationships Tour operators use weather promotions to attract new business Resort business is affected by weather ski stations need snow; beach resorts need sunshine Weather drives foot traffic through shopping centers Retailers use promotions to push product Adverse weather limits work at outdoor sites, creating direct and indirect expenses for contractors All of these industries and more -- use weather protection to manage their exposures Energy Risk Central & Eastern Europe Warsaw 10 November 2011 Stuart Brown, Swiss Re 7
8 Energy firms are particularly exposed Weather risk equals price exposure Energy Risk Central & Eastern Europe Warsaw 10 November 2011 Stuart Brown, Swiss Re 8
9 How weather protection works Begin by creating or choosing an index Payout based on index levels provides recovery that hedges the risk HDD: The number of degrees below 18 Celsius in average temperature per day Limit 2500 Trigger point Weather Index CDD: The number of degrees above 18 Celsius in average temperature per day Customised Index: based on cumulative weather variables (temperature, precipitation, irradiation, etc) with a fixed payout per index unit.

17 Guide to structuring weather protection Attribute Definition How to determine Attachment point Payoff pattern Limit Type of protection The level of temperature or rainfall at which the protection buyer needs to be paid for the risk of profits not being realised Recovery formula once the protection is triggered. The recovery is either index points times a fixed unit cost or times a commodity price vs a strike The total amount of payoff the protection buyer can receive Swap fixes the level of revenue from an asset with a contract for differences Floor the most common structure, which establishes a minimum level of revenue Collar like a swap, but has both a cap and a floor Typically, the level at which cash flow failure becomes problematic Based on exposure: what happens when it's too warm and gas (eg) is very cheap? How much is needed to replace the economics of lost profits Economics and buyer preference Energy Risk Central & Eastern Europe Warsaw 10 November 2011 Stuart Brown, Swiss Re 17
