Finding the Best Way to Privatize NIS
FACULTY OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES Novi Sad UNITED BUSINESS INSTITUTES Brussels MBA, Business intelligence concepts Finding the Best Way to Privatize NIS - Naftna industrija Srbije (Petroleum industry of Serbia) Jasna Hajder Jelena Bajagi Lana Ra kovi Novi Sad, April 2006. Goran Vasi Igor Mandi INTRODUCTION Subject of this business intelligence case study is a privatization of NIS - Naftna industrija Srbije (Petroleum industry of Serbia). At the moment, NIS is totally owned by the State, and also at the beginning of its privatization process. This opens many questions, such as: what is the best moment to actually start privatization process, whether to privatize only refineries or entire company, whether to privatize minority or majority share, whether to make an IPO or offer share package to a strategic partner, whether to distribute free shares to the company s employees and to other citizens. So far, most of oil industries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have been privatized and information obtained from these processes represent a starting point for intelligence analyses in this case study aiming at using a knowledge acquired from these experiences into an actionable intelligence which would enable to the company adequate decision-making and effective action planning. 1. In the first part we have analyzed statistical date of Central and Eastern Europe countries in regard to oil production and consumption, as well as possible increase of oil consumption in Serbia and Montenegro. 2. In the second part, we have presented a company profile of NIS and pointed out investments needed by the company 3. In the third part, we have compared NIS with other oil companies in Central and Eastern Europe. We did it in order to find out what is the NIS position comparing to other companies in the region 4. In the fourth part we have presented in what way oil industries in CEE have been privatized 5. In the fifth part we have in detail analyzed privatization processes of Croatian INA and Romanian PETROM as two privatization models which are paradigmatic for privatization of NIS 6. In the sixth part we have on the basis of the previous analyses proposed a model for NIS privatization 7. In the final part we have analyzed four companies (Lukoil, OMV, MOL, Hellenic Petroleum) which have significant presence in the region and which also have already expressed certain interest to take part in NIS privatization MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts 1 BRIEF COUNTRY ANALYSES CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE COUNTRIES STATISTICS GDP (billion $) Population Per Capita ($) Poland 38.635.144 Poland 463,00 Czech Republic 16.799 Romania 22.329.977 Czech Republic 172,20 Hungary 14.900 S&M 10.829.175 Romania 171,50 Slovakia 14.500 Czech Republic 10.241.138 Hungary 149,30 Poland 12.000 Hungary 10.006.835 Slovakia 78,89 Croatia 11.200 Bulgaria 7.450.349 Bulgaria 61,63 Bulgaria 8.200 Slovakia 5.431.636 Croatia 50,33 Romania 7.700 Croatia 4.495.904 S&M 26,27 Macedonia 7.100 B&H 4.025.476 B&H 26,21 B&H 6.500 Albania 3.563.122 Albania 17,46 Albania 4.900 Macedonia 2.045.262 Macedonia 14,40 S&M 2.400 Source: CIA Factbook MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts 2 OIL STATISTICS BY COUNTRY Production (1000 bbl/d) Reserve (million bbl*) Consumption (1000 bbl/d) Romania 956 Romania 114 Albania 158 Hungary 45 Hungary 102 Poland 37,2 96 Croatia Poland S&M 77,5 Poland 447 Romania 277 Czech Republic 206 28 Hungary 129 Czech Republic 15 S&M 98 13 Croatia 94 Croatia 69 S&M Bulgaria 15 Slovakia 12,6 Bulgaria 86 Czech Republic 15 Bulgaria 1 Slovakia 71 9 Albania 0 Albania 25 Slovakia B&H NA B&H 0 Macedonia 20 Macedonia NA Macedonia 0 B&H 20 All countries in the CEE are net oil importers * 1 barrel = 0,1364 metric tons MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts Source: EIA US Government 3 SERBIA & MONTENEGRO Population GDP billion $ Oil consumption 1000 bbl/d Czech Repubilc 10.241.138 172,20 206 Hungary 10.006.835 149,30 129 S&M 10.829.175 26,27 98 Expected GDP growth MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts Expected oil consumption growth 4 COMPANY ACTIVITIES Exploration and production Refining production Exploration and production of oil, natural gas, ground waters and geothermal energy is the fundamental activity of NISNaftagas, which is an integral part of NIS a.d. Novi Sad. Major part of oil and gas production is being done in the country and part of production which belongs to NIS is located in Angola. Biggest number of oil and gas fields have been discovered in Vojvodina region. Works abroad have been initiated thirty years ago and since then Naftagas have been working in more then twenty countries. Refining production within NIS is done in two refineries located in Pancevo and Novi Sad. They produce variety of products, such as: motor and power fuels, road and industrial bitumen, petrochemical row materials, specialized petrols and other oil derivatives. Total capacities of oil refineries in Pancevo and Novi Sad is 7.3 million tons per year. Trade of oil derivatives Transportation and processing of gas Gas transportation and processing represents an important segment of NIS scope of work. Gas refinery in Elemir which basic function is preparation of liquid gas for transportation and production of gas and gasoline is an integral part of NIS company. Trade of oil derivatives in NIS is done through a retail network of more than 500 public and 1,600 internal petrol stations.

One part through sale of shares Other part through additional capitalization 10% To employees and other citizens with certain privileges 14% To strategic partner or at the capital market 25% Through an offer to strategic partner or at the capital market MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts Dead-line for additional capitalization 2008. In short term In mid term In long term 25 PROTECTION OF THE STATE INTERESTS Privatization contract with a strategic partner must ensure the following: 1. NIS has to stay vertically integrated oil and gas company 2. It is necessary to provide modernization of NIS basic operational activities 3. It is needed to ensure continuous using of refining capacities 4. It is required to maintain certain level of oil and gas production 5. It is indispensable that the Government keeps the right to influence decisions which are crucially important for NIS (golden share or some other way for protection of the state interests) 6. It is necessary to maintain current employees in next three years along with mandatory social program for voluntary departure of surplus staff 7. Obligated increase of ecological standards MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts 26 REASONS FOR THIS PRIVATIZATION MODEL 1. All of the oil companies in the region have been already privatized, what does not live time for long-term, phased privatization 2. Investment through additional capitalization enable immediate investing in modernization of NIS production capacities 3. Majority ownership enables strategic partner future investments in NIS, while on the other hand uncertain ownership structure would slow down investments and development 4. Opposite to diffused ownership, majority ownership of strategic partner would enable defining of clear strategy for NIS development 5. It would increase level of management and introduce international management standards 6. It would lead to quick market liberalization 7. Direct foreign investments in Serbia and Montenegro in approximate amount of 1 billion EUR 8. Positive impact on Serbia and Montenegro credit rating MBA, Business Intelligence Concepts 27 COMPANIES WITH SIGNIFICANT PRESENCE IN CEE - POTENTIAL BUYERS OF NIS - LUKOIL is one of the world's biggest vertically integrated oil & gas companies.
