A weakening trend seen in refining as new ethylene capacity is brought onstream over the next two years. PetroFina's leadership position, combined with its high degree of integration with its refining activities will act as a buffer to the downturn. January 17, 1997 Goldman Sachs Bfr 11,075/Bfr 734 Market Performer o Now trading in line with the group Peter Nicol o Despite a flat production profile, costs should decline over the next few years and the prospects in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea and offshore Angola offer scope for faster production growth. o Refining and marketing remains the key area for the company's fortunes. PetroFina has insufficient marketing outlets in relation to its refinery output. November 4, 1996 Dewaay Servais Bfr 9,600/Bfr 650 Hold/Sell o High exposure to low return on capital employed businesses like refining and petrochemicals will generate unappealing returns over a full cycle. Stock does not seem compellingly cheap. o Sell PetroFina as soon as the share price approaches the Bfrl0,000 benchmark. o Even if the refining overcapacity problems were solved, the industry economics are deteriorating steadily. November 1, 1996 SBC Warburg Bfr 9,810/Bfr 678 Reduce o Lower earnings and cash flow momentum than the oil sector average between 1996 and 2000. We see little to justify the continued premium of PetroFina to the European oil sector average on debt adjusted cash flow multiples. Goldman, Sachs & Co. 57 Research Analyst Comments FINA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fitch Investors Service - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Anne Sudol o FINA's commercial paper rating of F-1 reflects its excellent chemicals business position and performance, strengthened credit protection measurements, and consistent free cash flow generation. In recent years, the company has substantially refocused all operations and upgraded asset quality while continuing to lower costs. After completing required environmental spending and refinery upgrading, rising capital outlays are now focused on growth projects in exploration and production and chemicals. FINA now funds itself independently of its parent company, PetroFina, having developed access to diverse funding sources. o FINA's challenges are to achieve solid profitability in its upstream and downstream businesses while maintaining reasonable chemicals margins in cyclical downturns. Fitch expects FINA to be able to generate free cash flows, even with higher capital expenditures. Strengths -- Operations upgraded and tightly focused; constant cost reduction -- Chemicals operations are world scale and low cost, with strong market shares in key products -- Consistent free cash flow generation and positive cash flow adequacy ratio -- Diverse funding sources are in place -- Improving profitability remains the highest corporate priority Concerns -- Commodity price risk exists in all areas of the business -- Reserve replacement must be done at competitive costs -- New environmental regulations may require additional spending -- Capital expenditures are still highly selective, possibly missing growth opportunities - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goldman, Sachs & Co. 58 Comparison of Profit Breakdown by Business Segment FINA vs. PetroFina [The following table was depicted as a pie chart in the printed material.] - --------------------------------- --------------------------------- 1992-96 Average 1996 - --------------------------------- --------------------------------- FINA EBITDA by Segment Chemicals 48% 57% E&P 35% 31% R&M 17% 11% PetroFina Operating Profit by Segment Chemicals 30% 27% E&P 51% 59% R&M 14% 11% Paints 5% 3% 59 FINA vs PetroFina Geographic Breakdown of Fixed Assets [The following table was depicted as a pie chart in the printed material.] - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINA PetroFina North America 100% 23% Belgium - 39% Other Europe - 37% Africa and Other 1% 60 - ------- Goldman Sachs - ------- Exhibit 8 61 Next Steps o Satisfy outstanding due diligence requests o Finalize valuation analysis o Finalize assessment of cash v. stock o Confirm recommendation to Special Committee o Initiate discussions with Parent Goldman, Sachs & Co. 62 - ------- Goldman Sachs - ------- 63 Comparison of Publicly-Traded Companies Median Multiples Price/Earnings Multiple (a) Price/DCF Multiple (a) Enterprise Value/EBITDA (a) ------------------------------- ---------------------- ------------------------------ 1996E 1997E Norm(b) 1996E 1997E 1996E 1997E Norm(b) =========================================================================================================================== FINA(c) 13.2x 12.7x 12.0x 6.6x 5.5x 6.2x 5.7x 5.4x FINA Undisturbed (c) (d) 10.2 9.8 9.3 5.1 4.3 5.2 4.8 4.5 Composite Medians: Domestic Integrated 14.9x 13.9x NA 5.5x 5.2x NA NA NA Commodity Chemicals 14.6 13.6 8.0x 6.9 6.6 6.9x 6.8x 5.2x Exploration & Production 19.4 16.8 NA 6.3 4.8 NA NA NA Refining & Marketing 24.2 18.7 NA 9.3 6.1 8.9 7.2 7.2 =========================================================================================================================== (a) Based on GB Research estimates as of 4/4/97.
