PTT Public Company Limited 1

Q2/2016

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and operating results for the three-month and

six-month periods ended June 30, 2016

Executive Summary

In the second quarter of 2016 (Q2/2016), net income of PTT and its subsidiaries was Baht 24,879 million,

increasing by Baht 1,210 million or 5.1% from Baht 23,669 million in the first quarter of 2016 (Q1/2016) mainly due

to the gradual declining in feed gas costs in line with crude oil price which had fallen since mid-year 2015.

Therefore, PTT’s performance increased from better performance of Gas Separation Plant (GSP), the decrease

of NGV loss and the improvement in oil business performance from stock gain following the increase of crude

oil price in this quarter. For PTT affiliates, performance of petrochemical and refining business increased due to

the rise in Accounting Gross Refinery Margin (Accounting GRM) as a result from stock gain in line with the rise

in crude oil price since late of Q1/2016, though Market GRM decreased. Meanwhile, the performance of olefins

increased owing to higher product spreads despite PTT group’s unplanned shutdown. Nonetheless,

performance of PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) decreased due to income tax

expenses affected by Thai Baht appreciated against US Dollar which had lower effect compared with Q1/2016.

In addition, the company also recognized an increase in loss on derivatives.

In the first half of 2016 (1H/2016), net income of PTT and its subsidiaries was Baht 48,548 million,

increasing by Baht 2,218 million or 4.8% from Baht 46,330 million in the first half of 2015 (1H/2015) mainly due to

better performance of PTT. On the contrary, the performance of affiliates decreased in almost all business

groups. The drop in refining and olefins mainly from the decline in Accounting GRM and the decrease of

polyethylene price in line with crude oil price, whereas the Product to Feed Margin (P2F) of Aromatics

Petrochemical increased from lower feed cost. The performance of PTTEP decreased in line with declining in

average selling prices following the fallen crude oil price, though, the lower of depreciation and amortization

expenses. The higher appreciation of Thai Baht against US Dollar compared to last year, leading to higher gain

on foreign exchange rates for PTT group in 1H/2016. While, PTT had higher loss on foreign exchange rate in

relation with Japanese Yen outstanding loans caused by Thai Baht depreciated against Japanese Yen.

Q2/2016

Economic Overview in the second quarter of 2016

The world economy in Q2/2016 expanded at a faster pace than in Q1/2016. Primarily supported by

domestic demand, economic growth picked up in advanced economies. Specifically in the US, the overall state

of the labor market remained strong, though worries about a global economic slowdown and volatility in financial

markets had led the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to hold off on interest rate hikes at its July 26-27,

2016 meeting, maintaining policy rates at 0.25-0.5%. As for the euro area, the economic recovery continued on

the back of easy financial conditions, though uncertainty over the outcome of the UK’s EU membership

referendum on June 23, 2016 had somewhat adversely affected private sector confidence. Meanwhile, emerging

market economies and lower income countries started to show signs of stabilization in Q2/2016, amid gradually

rising oil prices and improving economic momentum in China, where effects of the government’s growth stimulus

measures on the housing sector are becoming more pronounced, though overcapacity and growing corporate

debt problems are still of concern. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in July 2016 revised down its global

growth forecast for 2016 to 3.1%, against a projection in April 2016 of 3.2%.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) in June 2016, global oil demand in Q2/2016 averaged

95.5 million barrels per day (MMBD), increasing from 95.2 MMBD in Q1/2016 amid higher Americas, Europe, and

the Middle East demand, and increasing from 94.1 MMBD in Q2/2015. For the whole of 2016, global oil demand

is expected to average 96.1 MMBD, shooting up from 94.7 MMBD in 2015.

Dubai oil price in Q2/2016 averaged US$43.2 per barrel, increasing from US$30.4 per barrel in Q1/2015

amid falling shale oil production, terror attacks on oil facilities in Nigeria, and wildfire affecting production in

Canada. However, Dubai oil price in Q2/2016 was lower than in Q2/2015 which averaged US$61.3 per barrel.

Petroleum product prices in the Singapore spot market recorded a rise in Q2/2016 compared with

Q1/2016, following the rise in the Dubai price. Gasoline crack spreads in Q2/2016 averaged US$14.5 per barrel,

a decrease from Q1/2016 amid surplus and more exports from North Asia. Diesel crack spreads averaged

US$10.5 per barrel, an increase from Q1/2016 amid refinery maintenance season. Fuel oil crack spreads

averaged US$-8.9 per barrel, a decrease from previous quarter amid increasing Japanese and Iranian supplies.

Q2/2016

Singapore gross refining margin (GRM) in Q2/2016 averaged US$5.0 per barrel, decreasing from US$7.7

per barrel in Q1/2016 and US$8.0 per barrel in Q2/2015 primarily due to lower gasoline crack spreads and fuel

oil crack spreads.

Petrochemical prices of Olefins in Q2/2016 for both High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene

(PP) surged from Q1/2016, in parallel with a recovery in crude and naphtha prices, tight supply of Polyethylene

(PE) from unplanned shutdown of PTTGC and Petro Rabigh, and limited cargo offering for Polypropylene (PP).

However, Olefins price in Q2/2016 declined from the same quarter of last year. For Aromatics, the Benzene price

in Q2/2016 increased from Q1/2016 along with rising feedstock price and a peak turnaround period of Benzene

(BZ) plants in Asia. Moreover, arbitrage window for Asian benzene headed to the US has been closed since the

Asian benzene price has remained higher than the US benzene price. Similarly, Paraxylene (PX) price improved

amid high Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) demand and a peak turnaround period of PX plants in Asia. However,

the BZ and PX spreads to Naphtha (MOPJ) in Q2/2016 lowered to US$217 per ton and US$394 per ton from

US$230 per ton and US$407 per ton, respectively, in Q1/2016 as a result of a larger increase in feed prices

compared to product prices. However, Aromatics prices in Q2/2016 declined from the same quarter last year.

The Thai economy in Q2/2016 continued to recover, primarily supported by government spending and

continual growth in tourism sector. Domestic consumption started to show signs of improvement following rising

farm income and alleviation of drought stress. However, private investment and export still contracted, on

concerns over global recovery, despite seeing signs of improvements in sectors benefiting from government

policy. The Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) in August 2016 projected

that the Thai economy in 2016 will expand 3.3%, no change from the previous forecast in May 2016.


Q2/2016

Q2/2016

Second quarter of 2016 compared with First quarter of 2016

In Q2/2016, sales revenue of PTT and its subsidiaries was Baht 420,447 million, increasing by Baht

33,507 million or 8.7% mainly due to the increase in average petroleum and petrochemical product selling prices,

both olefins and aromatics following higher crude oil price, resulting in the rise in sales revenue of almost all

business groups. The improvement of PTT’s GSP performance resulted from a lower feed gas costs in relation to

the time lag effect of the decline in fuel oil price and the increase in product selling prices referring to higher

petrochemical price. The performance of petrochemical and refining business increased mainly from stock gain

following the higher crude oil price from the previous period, even though Market GRM dropped from the

considerable decline in gasoline and fuel oil crack spreads. The rise in performance of olefins caused by the

increase in product selling prices of polyethylene following crude oil price. Meanwhile, the performance of

aromatics decreased following lower in P2F from a soften demand and an increased supply, leading to the

increase in product selling price lower than the feedstock price. The performance of PTTEP also decreased mainly

due to higher unit cost from operating activity and the increase in planned maintenance, even though average

selling prices increased. Hence, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of PTT

and subsidiaries in Q2/2016 was Baht 82,151 million, increasing by Baht 10,808 million or 15.1%.

. In Q2/2016, the share of net income from investments in joint ventures and associates was Baht 839

million, decreasing by Baht 26 million from Baht 865 million in Q1/2016 mainly due to the decrease in performance

of associates in natural gas business group, while the performance of associates in petrochemical and refining

business group increased primarily from HMC owing to the rise in Polypropylene (PP) price, leading to higher

P2F.

Q2/2016

In Q2/2016, loss on foreign exchange rate was Baht 248 million, increasing by Baht 2,597 million from

gain of 2,349 million in Q1/2016 mainly from PTT’s Japanese Yen outstanding loans caused by Thai Baht

depreciated against Japanese Yen. Moreover, the effect of Thai Baht appreciation against US Dollar, which has

lower effect compared with Q1/2016, resulted in lower unrealized gain on foreign exchange rate of many

affiliates within PTT Group.

Moreover, loss on derivatives increased by Baht 3,155 million from Baht 916 million in Q1/2016 mainly

resulted from PTTEP’s oil price hedging contracts.

In Q2/2016, corporate income taxes were Baht 6,912 million, increasing by Baht 3,114 million from Baht

3,798 million in Q1/2016, mainly resulted from the effect of Thai Baht appreciation against US Dollar of PTTEP,

which lower affected compared with Q1/2016 and there was the recognition of deferred tax assets from loss carry

forward and the dissolution of its subsidiaries of IRPC in Q1/2016, Moreover, corporate income taxes of PTT also

increased from better performance.

First half of 2016 compared with First half of 2015

Sales revenue of PTT and its subsidiaries in 1H/2016 was Baht 807,387 million, decreasing by Baht

243,969 million or 23.2% mainly due to the drop in average selling prices following a sharply decline in average

Dubai crude oil price by 35.0% compared with prior year, led to the decrease in sales revenue in all businesses,

especially trading business as well as petrochemical and refining business. Hence, EBITDA of PTT and

subsidiaries was Baht 153,494 million, decreasing by Baht 4,624 million or 2.9% compared with 1H/2015, even

though, gas business had improved performance from lower feed cost in relation to the time lag of the decline in

fuel oil price, as well as oil and trading business which had stock gain and sales of domestic condensate.

Q2/2016

In 1H/2016, the share of net income from investments in joint ventures and associates was Baht 1,704

million, decreasing by Baht 2,620 million or 60.6% from Baht 4,324 million in 1H/2015 mainly from the

recognition of performance of SPRC and BCP amounting to Baht 2,803 million in prior year, while there was no

such recognition in this period (PTT sold its investment in BCP on April 30, 2015 and decreased its

shareholdings in SPRC to 5.4% on December 3, 2015).

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by Baht 9,082 million or 12.5% from Baht 72,835

million in 1H/2015 to Baht 63,753 million mainly due to the increase in petroleum reserve and the recognition of

loss on impairment of exploration and production assets of PTTEP in Q3/2015.

In 1H/2016, there was gain on foreign exchange rate of Baht 2,101 million, increasing by Baht 3,449

million from 1H/2015 mainly resulted from the effect of Thai Baht appreciation against US Dollar. Therefore, many

affiliates within PTT Group had unrealized gain on foreign exchange from foreign currencies debts. Nonetheless,

loss on foreign exchange of PTT increased mainly due to Japanese Yen outstanding loans caused by Thai Baht

depreciated against Japanese Yen.

Furthermore, loss on derivatives in 1H/2016 was Baht 4,987 million, increasing by Baht 3,247 million

compared with 1H/2015 mainly from PTTEP’s oil price hedging derivative contracts and foreign exchange forward

contracts. In addition, in 1H/2015, gain on disposal of investment was Baht 3,096 million primarily from disposal

of investment in BCP (an associate of PTT) and IRPC had revenue from reversal of doubtful account, while there

were no such recognition in 1H/2016.

Corporate income taxes decreased by Baht 1,730 million or 13.9% from Baht 12,440 million in 1H/2015

to Baht 10,710 million in 1H/2016 mainly from the effect of Thai Baht appreciation against US Dollar of PTTEP and

IRPC recognized deferred tax assets from loss carry forward and the dissolution of its subsidiaries. Moreover,

corporate income taxes of PTT also increased from the better performance.

Overview


Q2/2016


In Q2/2016, sales revenue of natural gas business was Baht 114,210 million, decreasing by Baht 4,075

million or 3.4% from Q1/2016 mainly from lower sales revenue of PTT Natural Gas Supply and Trading (GSM),

Natural Gas Transmission (GTM) and Natural Gas Distribution (NGR) business units, as a result of the drop in

average selling prices in all customer groups compared with Q1/2016. However, the average natural gas sales

volume (calculated at heating value of 1,000 BTU per cubic foot) increased by 253 million standard cubic feet per

day (MMSCFD) from 4,628 MMSCFD in Q1/2016 to 4,881 MMSCFD in Q2/2016 or 5.5% because power producer

customers called more gas in summer mainly from IPP, and there were new SPPs started up in Q2/2016.

Sales revenue of PTT’s GSP increased from higher product selling prices in line with global petrochemical

product reference prices. Nonetheless, the sales volume of all products from GSPs (including NGL derived from

Dew Point Control units) dropped from 1,492,241 tons in Q1/2016 to 1,472,580 tons in Q2/2016 or 1.3% mainly

from LPG. This resulted from GPS 6 major turnaround for 26 days (15 May – 9 Jun) in Q2/2016 and Ethane

separation plant (ESP) major turnaround for 23 days (1-23 Mar) in Q1/2016.

EBITDA of natural gas business in Q2/2016 was Baht 16,975 million, increasing by Baht 2,413 million or

16.6% mainly from the decrease of feed gas costs and the increase in fuel oil price as well as petrochemical

prices following crude oil price. As a result, gross profit of PTT’s natural gas business increased especially GSPs

which had higher sales margin of LPG and NGL selling to petrochemical business. Also, industrial customers and

NGV had less losses. Therefore, operating income in Q2/2016 was Baht 12,466 million, increasing by 22.7% in

line with the rise in EBITDA.

The overall performance of infrastructure business, consisting of GPSC, ENCO and PTTES, decreased

compared with Q1/2016, mainly resulted from dividend received from Ratchaburi Power Company Limited (RPCL)

of GPSC in Q1/2016. Nevertheless, there was an increase in sales revenue as a result of the rise in sales volume

of electricity from both Sriracha Power Plant (IPP) and Small Power Producer (SPP).


In 1H/2016, sales revenue of natural gas business was Baht 232,495 million, decreasing by Baht 46,108

million or 16.5% from 1H/2015 mainly from lower sales revenue of PTT GSM, GTM and NGR business units, as a

result of the drop in average selling prices in all customer groups, especially selling prices for industrial customers,

following the decrease in reference fuel oil price, compared with the same period of last year. Moreover, the

average natural gas sales volume (calculated at heating value of 1,000 BTU per cubic foot) decreased 100

MMSCFD or 2.1% from 4,855 MMSCFD in 1H/2015 to 4,755 MMSCFD in 1H/2016 mainly due to lower demand

from EGAT.

In addition, sales revenue of PTT’s GSP decreased in line with the drop in product selling prices in

relation to the global petrochemical product reference prices in 1H/2016. Moreover, the sales volume of all

products decreased from 3,122,182 tons in 1H/2015 to 2,964,821 tons in 1H/2016 or 5.0% mainly from the drop

in sales volume of Ethane and Propane, as a result of PTT’s ESP and GSP 6 major turnaround in Q1/2016 and

Q2/2016, respectively, and planned shutdown of PTTGC’s Olefins and Polymer plants in Q1/2016, and unplanned

shutdown of Olefins 3 in Q2/2016.

EBITDA of Natural Gas Business in 1H/2016 was Baht 31,537 million, increased by Baht 8,592 million or

37.4%. The main reason was from the decrease of feed gas costs which decreased more than the drop in selling

prices. Therefore, gross profit of PTT’s natural gas business increased mainly from GSPs. Furthermore, industrial

customers and NGV losses decreased from the drop in Pool Gas cost despite NGV selling prices decline to Baht

12.55 per kilogram (as of 16 Jun – 15 Jul 2016) for private cars and Baht 10.00 per kilogram for taxi and public

cars. Operating income in 1H/2016 was Baht 22,626 million, increasing by 46.9% in line with the rise in EBITDA.

In 1H/2016, infrastructure business had better performance mainly from GPSC which had the increase

in sales volume of electricity from Small Power Producer (SPP) and revenue from the power plant of IRPC Clean

Power (IRPC-CP) Phase-1 has started its commercial operation since November 2015 and fully operated in

1H/2016. Also, there were the reduction in average natural gas price brought to the decrease in cost of raw

materials, as well as dividend received from Ratchaburi Power Company Limited (RPCL).

condensate price following crude oil price.

Olefins Petrochemicals performance increased for both PTTGC and IRPC due to higher product

prices following the rise in crude oil price, where HDPE price increased, and the spread of PP

and Naphtha increased by 14% owing to the tightening supply from plants shutdown in this

region.

Share of net income from investments in joint ventures and associates of petrochemical and refining

business increased by Baht 190 million from Q1/2016 mainly from HMC performance due to the rise in PP price,

Economic Outlook in 2016

Global economic growth is expected to slow down in the third quarter of 2016 (Q3/2016) as the effects

of the UK’s vote to leave the EU (Brexit vote) are felt in advanced economies – especially in the UK and the euro

area where reduced private sector confidence and heightened market volatility may prove damaging to growth,

though weaker currencies should provide some support to exports. Subsequently, central banks of various

countries announced to stand ready to support the stability of markets. As for the US, growth is expected to

remain modest on the back of resilient domestic demand, though a potentially stronger dollar post Brexit vote

could hurt exports. Meanwhile, emerging market economies and lower income countries are expected to maintain

a roughly steady growth rate in Q3/2016 amid relatively stable oil prices, post-Brexit vote financial market volatility

and China’s economic expansion hitting the government’s growth target of 6.5-7%.

According to the IEA’s estimates in June 2016, global oil demand is expected to grow by 1.4 MMBD to

average 96.1 MMBD in 2016, with emerging market economies and lower-income countries being the key driver.

Meanwhile, oil demand in the advanced economies is expected to remain unchanged from the previous year. As

for global oil supply, oversupply condition is expected to decline following the reduction in Non-OPEC production.

However, increased production in Iran, Iraq, and Libya should help keep oil prices in the US$35-40 per barrel

range which would help boost petroleum product demand

Singapore GRM in Singapore in 2016 is expected to average US$5-6 per barrel.

The Olefins price in Q3/2016 is expected to trend higher amid tight supply, with HDPE price expected at

US$ 1,159 per ton and PP price at US$ 1,083 per ton. Meanwhile, Aromatics price is expected to trend lower with

PX price forecasted at US$ 796 per ton following lower polyester demand in China, and BZ price forecasted at

US$ 616 per ton amid new capacities and lower demand of Styrene Monomer (SM) and Phenol during plants

turnarounds period.

The Thai economy in Q3/2016 is expected to expand at a slightly slower pace amid contracting exports

as a result of global economic slowdown. Government spending, however, is expected to remain a key driver of

economic growth, especially those large-scale public infrastructure investment projects which are expected to

take clearer shape and help partially crowd in private investment. In the meantime, tourism sector is likely to

continue its expansion. Risk factors that need to be monitored include an increase in financial market and

exchange rate volatility as a consequence of Brexit vote, and the outcome of Thailand’s constitutional referendum.
