What We’ve Been Reading

page 1

• With a string of reports released this past month across a range of topics, July is an unofficial

“summer reading” month. The reports begin at the macro level with BP‟s latest release of its annual

Statistical Review of World Energy. BP‟s website provides helpful reviews by energy type, plenty

of downloadable statistics for those inclined to make their own charts, and their “Energy Outlook

2030.” If time is a constraint, the following summary may be helpful. Global energy demand grew

at the fastest level since 1973 with growth rates above long-term trends in every region of the world.

While non-hydro renewables grew at the fastest rate (15.6% off of a small base), coal consumption

led the charge, growing 7.6% and outpacing natural gas (7.4%) and hydro power (5.3%). Expect

this trend to continue as inefficient energy consumers (read: developing nations) continue to drive

economic growth.

• Those trends may help explain why energy efficiency is top-of-mind for executives, building

owners, and facility managers in China and India. According to Johnson Controls‟ 2011 Energy

Efficiency Indicator: Global Results, China and India once again outpaced their North American

counterparts with regards to the prioritization of energy management initiatives. Globally, energy

efficiency remains a top priority, and this year‟s report shows some moderate improvement from

last year. More than three-quarters of respondents now have an energy reduction goal in place.

However, the greatest barrier to implementing efficiency improvements remains return on

investment. Not surprisingly, capital costs are a bigger issue for North American and European

survey respondents.

• Black & Veatch‟s 2011 electric utility survey, Strategic Directions in the Electric Utility Industry,

was released this past month. While the top ten “insights” published as part of the study will

surprise few (in no particular order these include: your utility bill will go up, coal will still be used

to supply energy, energy infrastructure is crumbling, the lack of U.S. energy policy is not a good

thing, natural gas is the new wind, and China is a competitive threat), they do provide a glimpse of

how the utility industry is thinking about the current environment.

• The Wall Street Journal proclaimed this past month that “Natural Gas [is] Entering „Golden Age‟.”

Also in June, MIT released its comprehensive interdisciplinary study, The Future of Natural Gas,

which seems to say, “Maybe it is, maybe it isn‟t.” Acknowledging that “shale gas is

transformative” and that we are still in the early stages of its effects, the study indicates that the U.S.

will most likely be an importer of natural gas within two decades. While in recent months the

“abundance” of natural gas seems to have shifted discussion of the resource from a “bridge to the

future” to just “the future,” Henry Jacoby, a professor of management at MIT, notes, “you had better

have something at the other end of the bridge.”

• Finally, the White House was kind to provide us with some additional reading material through its

heralded (read: a press conference was held for its release) report, A Policy Framework for the 21st

Century Grid: Enabling Our Secure Energy Future. While we applaud the effort, it may be best to

refer them to the Black & Veatch study above. Until a more holistic energy policy is created, we

may have to classify this report under the fiction category (for this summer at least).

LTM EBITDA Multiples1

Industry Observations

LTM Indexed Stock Performance1

Indexed LTM EBITDA Multiples1

• The Infrastructure and Industrial Services Indexed LTM EBITDA Multiple has continued to

climb from its three year low in November 2008 and shown particular strength through 2011.

• The Energy LTM Indexed Stock Performance continues to outperform the overall market due

to rising oil prices, surging natural gas activity, and increased aggregate demand.

• Commodity prices remain close to 52 week highs:

– Gasoline and ethanol trade at $2.72 and $2.52 per gallon, respectively.

– Oil currently trades at $91.16 per barrel.

– Central Appalachian Coal prices remain high at $76.16 per ton.
