OMCs: CY17 herald’s supremacy of retail volumes

Altered composition of POL product volumes, with a clear pivot to retail fuels (HSD + MOGAS volumes made up 62% of overall industry volumes vs. 58% for CY16) underpin Dec’17 total volumetric offtake of 1.87mn tons, moving -2%MoM/-10%YoY. FO sales were a blight, receding broadly +7%MoM/-44%YoY, whereas HSD/MOGAS sales grew +9%/+12%YoY. CY17 volumes point to an only +1%YoY growth in total volumes, led by +13%/+7%YoY growth in MOGAS/HSD offtake. Additionally, one year after HOBC’s complete margin deregulation, volumes have propelled higher by +155%YoY selling 125ktons during CY17. As expected, mean reversion played its part, where annual growth in volumes settled below 5/10YR historical total industry volume CAGRs of 6.5/3.8%. HASCOL looks to benefit from this shift, something CAPEX plans for the OMC are to supplement, allowing it to grow earnings at a forecasted 5YR forward earnings CAGR of ~30%. At current price levels the stock trades at CY17E/18F P/E of 19.5/15.2x, where our Dec’18 TP of PkR318/sh offers 19.4% upside.
