6 Commodity trade finance : the value chain (simplified) The different players have different financing needs adapted to their respective production cycles Producers Traders Processors Traders End users Origination DOWNSTREAMING Destination Financing Post trade financing (short term) Transactional financing (short term) Pre-payments / Pre-export finance (medium term) Borrowing base financing (revolving) 6
7 Lenders Commodity trade flows need financing Commodities generate trade flows that in turn generate financing needs at all stages of the supply chain: > Producers / exporters > Trading companies > Processors > Importers > End users / distribution FINANCING NEEDS: Pre-payments / Pre-export finance Transactional financing Post trade financing Borrowing base financing Commodities trade flows intervene at an early stage of industrial processes and economic life in developed and emerging countries. They are therefore highly strategic for most countries, industrial companies and end users which makes the financings attached to them strategic too As a result, financings linked to commodity trade flows have demonstrated a high level of resilience and robustness, particularly during economic down cycles 7
8 Commodity trade finance : the market > Commodity finance is predominantly a bank market dominated by large commercial banks. European banks are among the top players with global reach (geographies, commodities, borrowers) > Commodity Trade Finance has grown faster than other syndicated financings: Development of free trade policies Growing investment and consumption needs in emerging countries Significant increase in volumes traded and in prices fuel for growth effect Growing demand for secured assets due to change in risk appetite by banks, new regulatory framework and constraints on liquidity > Despite the credit crisis and tougher regulations several top commodity finance banks have stated that commodity trade finance remains within their core lending activity. As a comparison these very same banks have closed or dramatically reduced other lending activities. This demonstrates further the resilience of the asset class through the cycle > Regulatory capital treatment remains favorable when compared to other lending businesses although at a level higher than historical performance 8
9 Commodity trade finance : challenges REGULATIONS > Growing capital and liquidity requirements > Restrictions on banking business model and activities > More constraints on accounting rules > Greater scrutiny of regulators and governments ENVIRONMENT > Pressure on European banks to reinforce their capital base and stable funding > Greater defiance of USD lenders vis-à-vis European banks > Banks seeking solutions to meet their funding requirements of their USD assets base 9
10 Trade finance example - Crude oil from Angola to the US Pre Export Financing example of Angolan crude oil exports to US refineries Angola OPEC member Local Exporter Refiner USA Largest consumer of liquid fuels with 23 mbbls/day 7 th largest producer with 1.8 mbbls/day Crude oil accounts for 90% of export revenues and 80% of GDP 2 1 Pool of Lenders 3 Imports account for approx. 50% of consumption Largest importer of Angolan crude oil with more than bbls/day Offshore Account Based on solid track record of Angolan crude oil exports to US refiners, a pool of Lenders will pre-finance future exports of Angolan crude oil by a local exporter (the Borrower ) to US refiners. The financing is secured as the Borrower assigns the proceeds of the exports contracts payable in an offshore collection account pledged to the Lenders. The actual and future value of the export proceeds (based on prevailing market prices) shall at all times represent more than 100+% of the outstanding amounts under the financing. Additional security package can include security interest in onshore current and fixed assets. On receipt of the cargo the Refiner pays into an Offshore Account pledged to the Lenders. The financing is then repeated.! During the whole transaction price risk is mitigated. 10
11 Commodity (Collateral) Understanding the commodity Understanding and mitigating the risks behind a commodity transaction is at the heart of the expertise Performance The risk that an exporter does not deliver the goods in the context of a commercial contract backing a credit facility Mitigants Track Record, contractual terms, capacity and cost analysis Commodity Price The risk that commodities price volatility negatively impact the cash flows of a specific transaction or the value of assets Overcollateralization, marked-to-market adjustments or hedging Country The risks inherent to the situation of a particular country that may directly or indirectly negatively affect a transaction Analysis of commodity s strategic importance, offshore repayments, political risk insurance. Corporate The risk related to the financial health of a counterparty based in most cases on an assessment of the business model, balance sheet and income statements and cash flow analysis Financial analysis of the company, ownership and strategy. In-depth liquidity analysis. Payment The risk that an importer does not comply with its payment obligation in the context of a commercial contract backing a credit facility Track record, letter of credit or payment guarantee Damage or loss of goods Self Explanatory Track record, insurance Quality & Quantity FX Legal Goods delivered do not comply with contractual specifications in terms of quantity and quality Self Explanatory Self Explanatory Track record, Client/Supplier relationship, overcollateralization, first class inspection companies Trade is back to back in USD, offshore repayments Legal opinions (local and international) 11
12 Why invest in commodity trade finance Today more than ever Commodity Trade Finance represents a stable and de-correlated yield enhancer > Global commodity trade of strategic commodities will continue to grow fuelled by new emerging demand > The default rate is minimal compared to other debt investments as credit line is secured or backed by underlying commodity flows. Risk profile is also improved by the strategic nature of commodities that provide a strong incentive to the parties involved to perform their obligation even in times of stress: commodities need to flow on a continuous basis > Enables to participate in global commodity trade without being exposed to underlying commodity volatility > Tightening regulations are forcing banks to limit the size of their balance sheets and pushing them to increasingly syndicate their very good quality assets > Current risk free levels highly improve the strategy s risk return attractiveness. 12
