    private investor

6
Industry Analysis
  • In 2003, the industry contributed approx. 16
    billion to government revenues
  • Crude oil natural gas trade surplus responsible
    for 57 of the countrys 2003 merchandise trade

    sands as a, pillar of North American energy and
    economic security.

8

11
Regulation

    national, international
  • Constitution Act 1982 gives jurisdiction to
    provinces over natural resources
  • Natural Energy Board (Fed body) has control over

Oil Extraction
  • Canadian Oil Sands
  • 1. Mining
  • Oil that is near the surface can extracted using
    traditional techniques
  • 2. SAGD Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage
  • Because of the rising prices of natural gas,
    crude producers are moving towards using bitumen
    or high sulphur fuels to generate steam.
  • Natural Gas
  • Wells are drilled and gas flows under its own
    pressure.

24
Oil Refining
  • Steps
  • 1. Fractional Distillation
  • 2. Conversion
  • 3. Recombination
  • 4. Treatment

  • Recommendation

27
Background
  • Canadian Oil Sands acts as a middleman between
    oil producers and pipeline operators.
  • Takes possession of the oil and markets it to
    pipelines
  • Generates income from a 35 interest in the
    Syncrude operation in the Alberta Oil Sands.
  • Largest pure-play investment opportunity in Oil
    Sands.
  • Organized as an Open-Ended Investment Trust.
  • Currently has approximately 91.1 million units
    outstanding.
  • Traded on TSX (Ticker COS.UN)
  • Market Capitalization of approximately 5.8
    Billion
  • Distributions in 2003 totaled 2.00 per unit

28
Core Business
  • Income trusts are equity investments designed to
    deliver cash flows from operations to
    shareholders in a tax-efficient manner.
  • Reduces double taxation of income.
  • Core business is marketing oil from its 31 share
    of Syncrude oil.
  • Pure-play oil company. Revenues derived solely
    from selling crude oil.

29
Business Strategy
  • Expand Syncrude Production Capacity
  • Expansion began in 2001.
  • Expected to boost current production by 50 to
    approximately 350,000 barrels per day 124,000
    barrels per day net to Canadian Oil Sands Trust.
    based on its interest.
  • Product quality will also be enhanced to Syncrude
    Sweet Premium (SSP).
  • The total capital budget for the expansion is
    estimated at 7.8 billion, or approximately 2.8
    billion net to the Trust.
  • It is expected to be in-service by mid 2006.

30
Corporate Value Drivers
  • Increase production capacity from existing
    assets.
  • Reduce operating costs of existing assets through
    economies of scale and by upgrading process
    technologies.
  • Increase reserves (asset base) by pursuing new
    developments.

31
Reserves
  • Very long-life reserves compared to industry
  • average.
  • Thus, disbursements in income trust are quite
    safe.

32
Factors That Affect Financials
  • Ongoing volatility of CDN/US exchange rates
  • Ongoing volatility of global and North American
    oil markets
  • New introduction of crude oil supply to North
    America
  • Ongoing variability in refining retail margins
  • Unscheduled maintenance shutdowns
  • Oils Sands Alberta Crown Royalties
  • Suncor ability to compete for projects
  • Extreme cold weather in 4Q

33
Hedging Strategy
  • Value of revenues is dependent on
  • Price of crude oil
  • Exchange rate with USD
  • Interest rate on debt
  • Crude Oil Hedging
  • Lost 82M in revenues in Q3 2004 (10.22 per
    barrel).
  • YTD 2004 have incurred a 182M loss.

34
Hedging Strategy (continued)
  • Crude Oil Hedging (continued)
  • As the funding requirements for expansion
    diminish (and balance sheet becomes stronger due
    to Stage 3 revenues), they intend to reduce crude
    oil hedging
  • Foreign Exchange Hedging
  • Q3 2004 made 3M in foreign exchange hedging
    (0.39 per barrel).
  • Interest Rate Hedging
  • Impact cash flows based on amount of floating
    rate debt that is outstanding.

35
Consolidated Balance Sheet
36
Balance Sheet Analysis
  • The trust increased its capital assets by 2.5
    billion during 2003 (stage 3 expansion).
  • Capital assets are recorded at cost and include
    the costs of acquiring the working interest and
    subsequent additions to property, plant, and
    equipment.
  • In February 2003, the trust gained 732 million
    in new equity to finance a significant portion of
    the 10 percent working interest in Syncrude from
    EnCanca. In July 2003, an additional 220
    million was raised.
  • The long term debt increased by 810 million.

37
Consolidated Statement of Earnings
38
Income Statement Analysis
  • Revenues higher due to increased oil prices.
  • Operating expense increased by 200 million
    mainly because of an unplanned coker turnaround
    and expended maintenance work.
  • Coker Vessels in which bitumen, the
    molasses-like substance that comprises up to 18
    of oil sand, is cracked into its fractions and
    from which coke is withdrawn to start the process
    of converting bitumen to upgraded crude oil.
  • Coker maintenance resulted in a 24 cent increase
    in operating cost per barrel in 2003.
  • The trust lost 135 million as a result of
    hedging.

39
Stock-based Compensation
  • Before Q3 of 2003, Canadian Oil Sands recorded no
    compensation costs for unit options granted to
    its employees and directors.
  • The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
    modified the rules for stock-based compensation
    program.
  • During the third quarter of 2003, Canadian Oil
    Sands adopted the fair-value method of accounting
    for stock based compensation.
  • Compensation costs of 0.6 million have been
    included as Administration expenses in the
    companys net income.

40
Statement of Cash Flow
41
Cash Flow Statement Analysis
  • Free cash flow amount to 2 billion dollars for
    2003, due to the acquisition of Syncrude working
    interest.
  • On February 28, 2003, Canadian Oil Sands closed
    the acquisition With EnCana Corporation to
    purchase an indirect 10 percent working interest
    in Suncrude for approximately 1.05 billion cash
  • On July 10, 2003, Canadian Oil Sands purchased
    EnCanas remaining 3.75 percent interest in
    Syncrude for 430 million cash
  • The acquisition is treated as a purchase of asset
    under GAAP
  • Cash flow from operating activities decreased due
    to a 147 million foreign exchange loss on
    long-term debt

  • Reduce operating costs of existing assets through
    economies of scale and by upgrading process
    technologies.
  • Increase reserves (asset base) by pursuing new
    developments.

64
Reserves
  • Evaluating natural resource companies must
  • take into account their ability to
    replenish
  • their assets.
  • Petro-Canada boasts 1.220 Billion BOE in
  • proven reserves.
  • At current production this will last 7 years.

65
Factors that Affect Financials

    exposure.

67
Balance Sheet
68
Balance Sheet (continued)
  • Assets
  • Increase in cash on hand by 400M sign that
    company is not rushing into imprudent
    investments.
  • Property, plant, and equipment form more than
    two-thirds of asset value.
  • Very capital intensive.

    350 million
  • Overall long-term debt decreased by 500 million
  • Cancelled loans outstanding to provide

    exceptional earnings into actively recalling
    debt.

70
Balance Sheet (continued)
  • Equity
  • Increased by 2 Billion in 2003 almost all
    attributable to increase in retained earnings
  • Retained earnings increased by 1.5 Billion
    dollars per quarter.
  • Since dividends increased as well (from 0.10 to
    0.15 per share), we know that the increase in
    retained earnings is due to higher profits

71

  • Expanded operations
  • Higher oil prices

    buyback crude oil for refining closer to
    distribution points).
  • Exploration expense decreased slightly
    year-over-year.
  • Earnings
  • Increase in net earnings and EPS is a function of
    high oil prices in conjunction with the fact that
    Petro-Canada does not hedge commodity prices.

73
