BUSINESS SUMMARY Chevron Corporation is one of the world's largest integrated energy companies. The company is headquartered in San Ramon, California and conducts business in more than 100 countries. CVX is engaged in every aspect of the crude oil and natural gas industry, including exploration and production, manufacturing, marketing and transportation, chemical manufacturing and sales, geothermal and power generation. CVX is a world leader in renewable energy investment and advanced energy technology. Chevron’s commitment to technological development provides ways that help the business increase energy efficiency. CVX is taking steps to form partnerships to help improve the overall quality of life and health of people in emerging markets.

INVESTMENT THESIS

Growth in worldwide energy consumption is increasing the need to develop innovative sources of renewable energy and additional supplies of traditional energy. CVX is strategically positioned and diversified to meet the world’s growing demand for renewable and traditional energy.

CVX has a strong historical and projected dividend growth compared to its key competitors, evidenced by its steady and consistent growth in free cash flow per share and 21 consecutive years of growing dividends.

ROA, ROE, and ROIC are all sufficiently high to ensure CVX remains on pace for shareholder value creation in the long term, even if the company’s future operating environment becomes more challenging than it’s been in the recent past.

Our conservative model projects a relatively small spread between the ROIC and WACC, but one that is consistent with long‐term value creation.

MACROECONOMIC THESIS Worldwide energy consumption is projected to rise more than 50% by 2030, fueled by growth in the global

population. Higher energy demand will be driven by rapid growth rates in emerging economies such as China

and India, which will continue to develop into more energy‐hungry economies (similar to the United States

and Europe).

Energy demand will rise with economic output and improved standards of living, which in turn will put

added pressure on energy supplies. As economies become increasingly industrialized they drive their cars

more each year and live in houses that are equipped with an increasing array of energy‐demanding appliances,

computers and other conveniences.

The combined aspects listed above will lead to an increase in the need to develop innovative, renewable

energy sources and additional supplies of traditional energy. Even if the use of renewable energy supplies

double or triple over the next 25 years, the world will still depend on fossil fuels for as much as 85% of its

energy needs. (Projections reported by the National Petroleum Council)

President Obama’s plan to cut $35 billion in U.S. oil preferences over the next 10 years will have little effect on Chevron’s revenues due to the company’s geographic diversification and strategic positioning, which is further discussed below in the global presence section.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS CVX's Upstream segment (26.9% of 2008 total sales revenue) includes the exploration, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas. Earnings for the upstream segment closely follow industry price levels for crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas prices are subject to external factors over which the company has no control, including product supply and demand connected with global economic conditions and industry inventory levels. Besides the impact of the fluctuation in prices for crude oil and natural gas, the longer‐term trend in earnings for the upstream segment is also a function of other factors, including the company’s ability to find, acquire and efficiently produce crude oil and natural gas; changes in fiscal terms of contracts; changes in tax rates on income; and the cost of goods and services. The United States accounted for 46.9% of upstream sales revenues in 2008; whereas, international sales accounted for 53.1% of upstream revenues. CVX's Downstream segment (71.8% of 2008 total sales revenues) includes refining and marketing of petroleum products and other products derived from crude oil. Additionally, it includes the transportation of products. Earnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to margins on the refining and marketing of products such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil and feedstock for chemical manufacturing.


Jacob Krause

The energy industry's margins are often volatile, and can be affected by the global and regional supply and demand balance for refined products and by changes in the price of crude oil used for refinery feedstock. Industry margins can also be influenced by refined‐product inventory levels, geopolitical events, refinery maintenance programs and disruptions at refineries resulting from unplanned outages due to severe weather or other operational events. Other factors affecting profitability for downstream operations include the reliability and efficiency of CVX’s refining and marketing network, the effectiveness of the crude oil and product supply functions and the economic returns on invested capital. Profitability can also be affected by the volatility of tanker‐charter rates for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude oil and product tankers. Other factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy costs to operate the company’s refinery and distribution network. The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast of North America, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Latin America, Asia, Southern Africa and the United Kingdom. In 2008, 42.2% of downstream sales revenues were based in the United States with international sales accounting for 57.8% of downstream sales revenues. CVX's Chemicals segment (0.7% of 2008 total sales revenues) includes the manufacture and sale of additives for lubricants and fuel. Chevron’s 50‐50 joint venture, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of commodity petrochemicals. Chevron Oronite markets more than 500 performances enhancing products and supplies, which is ¼ of the world’s fuel and lubricant additives. Earnings in the petrochemicals business are closely tied to global chemical demand, industry inventory levels and plant capacity utilization. Feedstock and fuel costs, which tend to follow crude oil and natural gas price movements, also influence earnings in this segment. In 2008, United States sales accounted for 26.4% of sales revenues in CVX’s chemicals segments, with 73.6% of the sales revenues driven by international markets. CVX's Other Businesses segment (0.6% of 2008 total sales revenues) includes coal mining operations, power generation businesses, insurance operations, real estate activities and technology companies. 95.3% of the other businesses revenues were based in the United States; 4.7% of the sales revenues were international.

GLOBAL PRESENCE Chevron has an impressive diversified portfolio with key operations in important oil and gas regions, as well as geothermal interests in Indonesia and the Philippines. Diversification into renewable energy helps shield against possible losses caused by traditional energy price movements, new legislation and losses of traditional energy reserves. Furthermore, investment in renewable energy resources ensures Chevron will remain an industry leader in the future. The map below show how geographically diversified Chevron’s production is. The graph highlights the main countries in which Chevron has upstream operations, exploring, producing and selling crude oil and/or natural gas.

In addition to the upstream interests depicted on the above map, Chevron has downstream, chemical and renewable operations in over 100 countries worldwide. Broad geographic diversification buffers against possible losses due to regional civil unrest, natural disasters and war. In 2008 56.4% of total revenues were international and 43.6% of total revenues were domestic. Other than the United States, no single country accounted for 10% or more of the company’s total sales and other operating revenues in 2008.

VALUATION Our valuation model analyzes CVX's historical financials (2004‐2008) and explicitly forecasts all income statement and balance sheet items as a percent of sales over a 10 year horizon (model shown in appendix). Using conservative assumptions, a discounted cash flow (DCF) model suggests that CVX is slightly undervalued. The model returns a fair value of $79.11 for 2009 and supports a 12‐month target price of $86.61. CVX’s closing price on May 01, 2009 was $66.87. Our model suggests that CVX’s DCF price could grow as high as $169.81 by 2018 (11.05% annual returns, in addition to the stock's 3.9% dividend yield). Inputs:

Revenue growth is modeled on a year‐by‐year basis to better reflect CVX’s prospects (see technical appendix). Despite CVX’s historical 5‐year growth rate average of 15.1%, the revenue growth forecast we used forecasted a decline in energy demand due to the global economic downturn and the volatility of prices in the industry. Our average 10‐year projected growth rate is therefore a conservative 5.26%. Revenues are projected to grow ‐30% in 2009, 10% in 2010, 6.5% in 2011, 6% in 2012, 5.5% in 2013, 5% in 2014, 4.5% in 2015, 4% in 2016 and then taper off to a long‐term sustainable rate of 3% in 2017 and beyond. Our long‐term forecasted growth rate of 3% is significantly more conservative than Thomson‐Reuters and the analysts' consensus, both of whom project a long‐term growth of 7%.

Cost of Goods Sold was conservatively forecasted to be slightly higher than the 5‐year average of 74%, contrary to the historical decline in COGS and further predicted decline in costs (Argus Research). Our forecast assumes that higher input costs will accompany the global economic recovery.

Other Operating Expenses are adjusted 0.3% higher from the historical average. CVX has a historical trend of slightly increasing other expenses. By adjusting the expenses above the historical average to 7.2% our forecast continues a trend that offsets future increases in operating expenses.

Share Growth/Diluted Share Growth is set at ‐3.0%, which is lower than the historical average of ‐0.9%. CVX has historically bought back shares, as represented in the negative historical average. The ‐3.0%% rate ensures that earnings per share and intrinsic value per share are modeled conservatively.

Dividend growth is adjusted down 0.4% from the historical average. CVX has a recent trend of a slower dividend growth. The 12.0% dividend growth rate reflects CVX's historical commitment to growing dividends faster than peer firms such as Exxon‐Mobil and Conoco‐Phillips.

Net Property Plant and Equipment is modeled on a year‐by‐year basis to better reflect CVX’s net PPE as a percent of sales. We anticipate that future exploration of oil will be more capital intensive. Therefore, we based our PPE projections off of historic growth in PPE/Sales. The historic growth from 2005‐2008 in PPE/Sales is 13.0%. To keep our model conservative and account for the impact the projected ‐30.0% revenue growth in 2009 had on PPE/Sales we projected a 7.0% increase in Net PPE year‐by‐year out to 2015. Forecasted year‐by‐year PPE/Sales, 51.39% in 2009, 49.99% in 2010, 50.22% in 2001, 50.70% in 2012, 51.42% in 2013, 52.40% in 2014, 52.50% in 2015 and 2016, and holding the PPE/Sales at 53.00% in 2017 and 2018. The historical average of 32.5% compared to the forecasted average of 51.71% shows our large increase in Net PPE.


Jacob Krause

Cash is modeled slightly higher than the historical average. Although CVX’s cash/sales have been decreasing, we increased the cash to help keep our model conservative and compress forecasted ROIC.

Receivables are modeled slightly lower than the historical average. CVX’s receivables/sales have declined significantly recently from 10.2% in 2007 to 5.8% in 2008. CVX is reducing the amount held in receivables; therefore, we forecasted receivables/sales lower than the historical average.

WACC and Beta. The model uses a WACC at 10.40%. Our estimates of CVX's historical beta vs. the S&P 500 was 0.84. We used a much higher beta of 1.15 to allow for reversion to the mean and possible increases in the volatility of CVX’s stock price. The higher beta increases the cost of capital, which compresses the value of the stock price. The cost of capital was calculated using a risk‐free rate of 4%, which is higher than the current rate of 2.75%, and market risk premium of 6%.

PROFITABILITY

Margins. The forecast model projects no growth in margins over the 10‐year forecast period. This helps to compensate for some of the current economic uncertainty. CVX has shown average Gross, Operating and Net Profit Margins for 2004‐2008 of 27.9%, 14.5%, and 8.4%, respectively. When we employ conservative forecasting assumptions the average forecasted margins compress to 26% for Gross Margins, 12.3% for Operating Margins and 7.1% for Net Profit Margins.

Dividends Per Share. One of the key factors in choosing a mega‐oil stock was the ability of a company to grow its dividends. CVX’s potential to grow DPS is substantially better than its key competitors due to CVX’s ability to steadily and consistently grow their FCF per share. Even with conservative assumptions, CVX has the ability to grow its dividend as high as $10 per share in the long term, whereas their key competitors cannot, which benefits the tax‐free status of the student investment fund.

Free Cash Flow Per Share. The stability in FCF per share supports CVX’s ability to grow its dividends. XOM’s FCF/Share is higher historically, and COP’s has the chance to be higher in the future, but CVX’s FCF/Share has undeniable stability that suits our selection criteria for a big oil stock, as shown in the historic average of $3.67 per share and forecasted average of $6.46 per share.

Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Return on Invested Capital. CVX has earned strong and sustainable ROA, ROE and ROIC for 2004‐2008, with an average of 13.5%, 26.4%, and 22.4%, respectively. In employing conservative forecasting assumptions, these metrics compress to 13‐14% for ROE and ROIC and 9% for ROA. The forecasted averages are all sufficiently high enough to ensure CVX remains on pace for shareholder value creation in the long term, even if the company’s future operating environment becomes more challenging than it’s been in the recent past.

VALUE CREATION METRICS

Net Operating Profit After Tax and Free Cash Flow. Historically, NOPAT and FCF both have steadily increased. In employing conservative modeling assumptions, the forecasted NOPAT and FCF drop far below their steadily increasing historic trend. Yet, CVX is still a compelling stock and has the potential to continue increasing NOPAT and FCF in the long‐run. Their FCF is increasing at a much lower rate than NOPAT due to the offset of higher PPE/Sales assumption discussed earlier. Both NOPAT and FCF depict CVX’s ability to enhance shareholder value through generating steady free cash flow.

ROIC v. WACC value spread. Comparing a company's ROIC to its cost of capital reveals whether they

are increasing the value of invested capital.

Historically, CVX’s growing ROIC to WACC

spread has been a key value driver. There are

signs this will continue in the future.

Although our conservative modeling

assumptions compress the spread by

approximately 10%, CVX maintains a positive

ROIC to WACC spread, suggesting the firm

will continue to create shareholder value.

Economic Value Added and Market Value Added. Even with a compressed ROIC to WACC spread, CVX has significant potential to continue their trend of creating value for shareholders as shown through EVA and MVA. The large decrease in EVA is contributed to the revenue growth predictions mentioned earlier. In 2008 CVX created $13.7 billion of economic value. After the decline in 2009 we forecast a constant EVA overtime. The EVA is projected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2009 to $3.8 billion in 2018.

CVX had a MVA of $61.2 billion in 2008. Our projections show steady increase overtime from $63.1 billion to $92.8 billion. This evidences CVX’s ability to create value for the market beyond the value of contributed capital as Chevron effectively controls and manages its assets.

RELATIVE VALUATION

We do not just rely on one valuation metric to measure the intrinsic market value of price. We also look at the historic valuation multiples which include:

o Price/Sales o Price/EBITDA o Enterprise Value/EBITDA o Price/Earnings

We compressed the historic multiples and compare forecasted multiple prices to our estimated DCF valuation. Our DCF price tracks closer to the extrapolated multiples prices, which shows the DCF share price is consistent with the multiples value estimates, which often reflects the market price.

Current Price/Earnings, Price/Sales, Enterprise Value/EBITDA and Price/Book indicated that CVX is priced at a slightly lower premium compared to XOM, suggesting favorable relative valuation compared to competitors and the industry.

INSIDER SELLING

An additional metric we look at is the pattern of

net insider purchases/sales. We prefer companies

where executives are heavily invested in their own

stock. The net insider selling strongly favors CVX

over XOM. Since 2004, XOM's insiders have

divested roughly $432 million, whereas CVX's

insiders have divested only $262 million.

RISKS

There is no stock in the current environment where everything is positive. Some risks we are concerned with include:

Governmental policies regulating how companies are structured and where and how companies conduct their operations and formulate their products, which could hinder CVX’s ability to outperform their competitors. Government imposed price controls on refined products such as gasoline or diesel fuel could have an adverse effect on the operations of CVX. Strained relations between the government and CVX may also impact the company’s operations.

Change in prices, which are generally determined by the supply and demand of oil could adversely impact operations. OPEC production levels are the major factor in determining worldwide supply of oil. Demand driven by the condition of local, national, and global economies, weather patterns and taxation relative to other energy sources can have an adverse effect on the price of oil.

A longer recession than forecasted could continue to put downward pressure on oil and gas prices.

Production and distribution disruptions from either natural or human causes could have an adverse effect on the operations of CVX. Hurricanes, floods, fire, earthquakes, and other forms of severe weather would impact CVX’s ability to generate future revenues. Additionally, war, civil unrests, acts of violence, and other political events could adversely impact CVX’s operations.

If Chevron is not successful in replacing the crude oil and natural gas it produces with good prospects for future production, the company’s business will decline. Creating and maintaining new projects depends on many factors including: obtaining and renewing rights to explore, developing and producing hydrocarbons, drilling success, ability to bring long‐lead‐time, capital‐intensive projects to completion on budget and schedule, and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties.

Activities that could result in liability, either as a result of an accidental, unlawful discharge or as a result of new conclusions on the effects of the company’s operations on human health or the environment.

Regulation of greenhouse gas emissions could increase CVX’s operational costs and reduce the demand for CVX’s products.

The risk we are most concerned with is an ongoing environmental damage lawsuit filed by Ecuador. Chevron management cannot currently estimate a range of possible loss from the case, but believes the case lacks legal and factual merit and plans to fight it. Chevron has also recently hired William “Jim” Haynes II, who ran one of the largest law departments in the U.S. federal government. We feel the addition of his world‐class legal talent and leadership will ensure minimal loss to the company.

OTHER VALUATION MEASURES Piotroski’s Financial Fitness Scorecard Piotroski’s Financial Fitness Scorecard gives a company a maximum of 11 points based on items on the income statement and balance sheet. Historically, CVX’s scored an average 8 out of the 11. The forecasted average scored an average of 9 out of 11, which indicates we are projecting CVX to become more financially stable. Altman’s Probability of Bankruptcy Test The Altman Z‐Score uses eight different variables from a company’s income statement and balance sheet to predict a company’s probability of failure. In 2008, CVX scored a 4.55 indicating the company is well‐above the safe zone and should not go bankrupt in the near future.

Analysts' Consensus Recommendations If analysts' recommendations were ranked on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being a strong buy and 5 being a strong sell, CVX's mean recommendation would have averaged a steady 2.2 for the past two weeks indicating a buy, but not a strong buy, signal from analysts. Graham and Dodd Relative Valuation Graham and Dodd is a Thomson‐Reuters relative valuation metric. It measures the premium investors are paying for future earnings compared to all stocks in the S&P 500. CVX ranked in the 5th Decile of Graham and Dodd, indicating the stock sells for an average premium, and is not overvalued.


Jacob Krause

Earnings Momentum When we began screening for stocks one of the criteria was for the company to have convincing earnings momentum, because growing profits in the current economic environment would be a sign of even stronger prospects when the global economy eventually recovers. CVX has better earnings momentum than 82% of the stocks in the S&P 500. Based on our forecasts, this strong earnings momentum is likely to continue. RECOMMENDATION: “BUY” We believe every portfolio has a place for a big energy stock. We like CVX in terms of its relative and discounted cash flow valuation, strong dividend per share growth, ability to create shareholder value and financial stability:

CVX is undervalued at its current price of $66.87 (05/01/2009), compared to our conservative DCF valuation of $79.11.

CVX’s has strong historical and projected DPS growth compared to its key competitors, evidenced by its steady and consistent growth in FCF per share and 21 consecutive years of growing dividends.

ROA, ROE, and ROIC are all sufficiently high enough to ensure CVX remains on pace for shareholder value creation in the long term, even if the company’s future operating environment becomes more challenging than it’s been in the recent past.

Our conservative model projects a relatively small spread between the ROIC and WACC, CVX is still able to create value, as evidenced by its increasing EVA and MVA.

CVX’s proven financial stability, evidenced by Piotroski’s Financial Fitness Scorecard, Altman’s Probability of Bankruptcy test, NOPAT and FCF.

The growth in worldwide energy consumption will lead to an increase in the need to develop innovate, renewable energy and develop additional supplies of traditional energy. CVX is strategically positioned through diversification to meet the world’s growing demand in renewable and traditional energy.

Forecasted Stock Prices Based on Historical Multiples -- 10 Years

Historical Ratios and Valuation Forecasted Ratios and Valuation

In this section we are going to examine historical and forecasted ratios (or "multiples") typically used to value stocks ‐‐ P/CF, Enterprise Value/EBITDA, etc. We first want to compare the historical trends in these ratios to the trends in their forecasted values. If our forecasted multiples are systematically increasing or decreasing our forecasts may be too optimistic or pessimistic, and our forecast assumptions may have to be adjusted. Second, we want to compare our discounted cash flow valuation estimates with those derived from the various multiples. Once again, if there is a large discrepancy between our DCF valuation estimate of the company's stock and the range of values obtained from the various multiples, we may want to adjust our forecast assumptions. 1. You will need to look up the company's year‐end stock prices and enter them in the first 5 (historical) years of the "per share value" category.2. Use the estimated DCF price per share in the forecasted period (link to your forecasted prices in cells BG47‐BP47.3. Market capitalization will be calculated as basic weighted shares x historical year‐end prices and then forecasted basic weighted shares x DCF forecasted prices.4. As with previous calculations, historical multiples use actual historical values and forecasted multiples use forecasted values.
