BGC Partners - Towards the 2nd Round of Sanctions on Iran - TUPRAS

IRAN SANCTIONS – IMPACT ON TUPRAS: In this report we analyzed the global oil trends, compared the sector in the 1st vs 2nd round of Iran sanctions (2nd to be effective by Nov 4th) & impact on TUPRS. 1) Balanced supply-demand environment expected: Iranian oil to be replaced by higher production from US, OPEC, while demand may also be slightly weaker than exp. 2) Turkey’s imports from Iran probably declined further in Sep-Oct from 43% (8M18). We expect Turkey to get exemptions along with other countries that have been reducing Iran imports, 3) Compared to past, TUPRS is now a more complex refinery, able to process heavier crude. Plus IMO 2020 sulphur cap is expected to create surge diesel demand: +ve for complex refineries like TUPRS. 4) Still, we factor in a 11% decline in clean US$ EBITDA (2019) for TUPRS due to: i) increasing global competition, ii) higher crude costs due to fall in Iranian exports, iii) regional competition with STAR refinery in Turkey. 5) All in all, we maintain BUY for Tupras (ex-divi TP of TL175.8/sh, 45% upside).
