    BP

    Retaining financial flexibility

    We believe BPs management took the right position with its recent update to

    investors. Whilst recognising the importance of dividends to investors the company

    also focused on the importance of long-term shareholder returns. These returns will

    be best served by the group restoring its operational credibility and rebuilding its

    reputation in the US. The company as yet cannot quantify the total costs associated

    with managing the spill, and we believe that the decision on the 2Q dividend may be

    contingent sensibly enough on the success of the containment options currently

    being pursued. We are cutting our price target by 40p to 610p to reflect fine

    provisions and higher spill costs. Our 2-Equal Weight rating reflects the continuing

    uncertainty that is likely to overhang the groups Gulf assets, which comprise some116p of that value.

    Caution on gearing raises risk on dividend: On the call the company said it would be

    looking to keep debt to capital at the lower end of its 20-30% range. In this report we

    present our estimates of gearing under a range of oil price and cost scenarios. If

    containment costs were to rise above $6bn this year we would see significant risks to

    our current expectation of a sustained dividend.

    Discount sector: BP is trading at a 29% discount to our price target, in line with the

    sector average. Inside we look at BPs sensitivity to discount rates we currently use

    10% nominal every 1% increase in discount rate would cut our price target by

    approximately 10%. Cost of equity may be another consideration in terms of the

    appropriate level of the dividend for the long term.To accompany this report we also are publishing an updated copy of our Oil Spill

    Flexor that allows investors to make their own assumptions around the ultimate costs

    and liabilities facing BP, which we now estimate to be over $17bn.

    Balancing returns

    On the call the Chairman Carl Henrik Svanberg re-iterated the groups aim to strike the

    right balance for shareholders between current returns though the dividend, sustained

    investment for long-term growth and maintaining a prudent gearing level. The Chairman

    said all issues would be taken into account at the time of setting the 2Q dividend (27th

    July)and there is no formal commitment to sustain the dividend. On the call CEO Tony Hayward

    mostly passed questions on the dividend to the chairman to answer. In part we believe this

    may be to distance himself directly from any future decisions that are made on the payout.

    In the immediate aftermath of the spill BP had drawn attention to the financial flexibility

    afforded by its balance sheet with a debt/capital target range of 20-30% and 1Q gearing at

    only 19%. On the call the company seemed to strike a more cautious note on its gearing

    with both the CEO Tony Hayward and CFO Byron Grote signalling that uncertainty about

    costs both clean-up and containment as well as eventual fines and liabilities would

    increase a preference to keep gearing at the lower end of range. In the table below we have

    shown a number of cost and oil price scenarios and the impact on gearing. We have

    included the Devon acquisition costs of $7bn in this assessment. CFO Byron Grote said theGulf of Mexico part of the deal had already closed, the Azerbaijan part was expected to

    close before the end of 2Q and Brazil in 3Q. Although we continue to forecast the company

    will maintain a flat dividend in 2010, there are clear risks to that estimate if the oil price

    comes under pressure and if costs continue to rise while the company aims to keep gearing

    below the mid-point of its range. We had previously had a rise in the dividend for our 2011

    estimates; we now have cut this 5% to remain flat in 2011 and now assume resumption of

    growth in 2012.

    Light blue shading indicates where the gearing level would reach between 25-30% and dark blue a level above 30%

    The payment of the dividend is unlikely to be purely a function of the gearing level in any

    one year, with the management and board likely to consider the scale of all future potential

    liabilities and payments that the company may face. Given the high level of uncertainty

    associated with the size of the eventual cost of third-party litigation, government fines and

    penalties the companys caution on gearing on the call clearly was to afford itself with

    slightly more headroom. To reflect this, we have shaded in light blue scenarios under which

    BPs gearing would be in the 25-30% range, levels we now believe the company may be

    nervous of reaching.

    There is also the issue of the political affordability of the dividend with BP facing significant

    political pressure from some members of the US government who question the

    appropriateness of paying a dividend in the current environment. A major theme on the call

    was the necessity for BP to rebuild trust as a long-term member of the business

    communities in the US.

    Although the company has indicated that it currently does not intend to provision for coststhat are yet unknown, we believe that perhaps one way that BP may be able to address the

    political sensitivity around payment of dividends may be to create an oil spill provision fund.

    This fund could be used to cover any future costs associated with the spill, in addition to

    what could be supported by BPs future operating cash flow. With such a fund in place it

    may be seen as less sensitive for BP to elect to continue to pay a dividend to its shareholders

    than would otherwise be the case.

    Longer term we think the current issue of whether BP can sustain the dividend could be

    turned into an opportunity. If there is no lasting impact on BPs operational reputation from

    this spill we believe it may not be a bad thing to see some rebasing of the dividend in favour

    of investment for the longer term if investors are persuaded that BP will not be restricted

    in its access to future attractive reinvestment opportunities.

    Gulf of Mexico valued at 116p

    With 11% of the groups production coming from the Gulf, as well as the high margin nature of

    these barrels, this basin is of extreme strategic importance for the company. We currently see a

    scenario in which the company is forced to exit these assets as highly unlikely, and value these

    assets at $34.2bn, pre any spill costs, and $16.8bn on a post cost basis. In total the US upstreamand downstream comprises some 249p of our sum of the parts.

    Clean-up and containment costs estimate rise to $5bn

    With its regular spill updates, BP has provided periodic updates on the running total of the

    cumulative costs incurred on a gross basis. The last of these updates was on June 1 when

    BP had indicated that the total costs had reached $990m. Our estimated breakdown of this

    figure based on information provided by the company is shown in the table below, but todate mainly reflect:

    The direct clean-up and containment costs incurred by BP as well as the indirect costsincurred by the various Government agencies aiding BP in its efforts.

    The costs incurred to date of the two relief wells that are currently being drilled. Grants given to the Gulf States Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. The first

    tranche of grants was $100m and a secondary payment of $70m has been given.

    The settlement of 15,000 claims for a combined total of $40m.

    The run-rate of clean-up and spill containment costs based on the new information we have

    is now $19m per day, higher than our previous estimate of $16m. Adjusting our previous

    assumptions for this higher run-rate and increasing the length of the clean-up period from

    300 to 500 days imply a gross cost estimate of $5.0bn, $2bn above our previous estimate of

    $3.0.bn. The table below shows our updated estimate of the total costs, assuming that the

    spill is uncontained until the first relief well is completed and that the clean-up of the spill

    extends a further 400 days beyond this point.

    Given the high cost of the current sub-sea operations we expect that the daily costs will fall

    significantly, and model a 50% reduction following the completion of the relief well. As a

    result we believe that BPs ability to completely stem the flow of oil could have a major

    impact on the overall costs of the spill, both by reducing the total costs of clean-up and

    containment and by reducing the ultimate environmental and economic impact of the spill.

    The table below shows the impact that the updated cost estimates have on our 2010 and

    2011 estimates. The main impact can be seen in 2011, reflecting our assumption that the

    total clean-up of the spill will take longer than previously anticipated. The announcement

    that the flow of oil is occurring at a faster rate than previously thought, leads us to expect

    that the total time required to clean-up the spill will be significantly longer and now assumea 500 day clean-up versus our previous 300 day estimate.

    Fines and other costs increases non-clean up cost by $8bn

    Trying to assess clean up and containment costs is relatively straightforward relative to the

    bigger unknown of third party liabilities. It will be some while before we know where

    ultimate responsibility for the leak vests and the scale of the liabilities that BP, its lease

    partners and other counterparts in the well might face.

    As can be seen from the reconciliation table on page 6, BP has included a charge of $40m of

    liabilities already paid. So far 30,000 claims have been filed and 15,000 have been paid. This

    implies a payment of only $2,667/claim. The speed with which the claims have been settled

    would suggest that these initial claims are low cost. Again the speed (as well as price) of

    settlement would suggest that lawyers have not yet become involved. We do not think wecan use the liabilities paid to date as indicative of eventual charges.

    It is quite difficult to find precedents for this kind of spill in order to assess potential

    liabilities. In BP: Increased clarity over spill costs (May 24), we estimated a potential liability

    of $6.5bn net to BP. Although we have no reason to reassess this cost, we now see the risk

    for further potential costs arising from fines and criminal investigations that the US

    government has indicated it will initiate against the company.

    Perhaps the estimate of these to quantity is the fine associated with the Clean Waters Act.

    Under this legislation BP could face a fine of $1,000/bl of oil spilt, rising to $3,000/bl

    assuming that the company is found to have been negligent. Given the updated guidance of

    a flow rate of 12-19k bl/d, we would estimate that the total oil leaked into the Gulf of

    Mexico between May 20 and the time that the relief wells are due to be completed could

    reach 1.6m bl. This would imply a total fine of almost $5bn on a gross basis and $3.1bn net

    to BP given its 65% stake in the field.

    In addition to this fine, we assume that the group will face other federal fines and charges

    resulting from any potential investigations of a similar magnitude, increasing BPs net cost

    by a further $2.6bn. These fines, as well as BPs $500m contribution to deepwater research

    of $500m, and further assumed grants to federal states, results in our total estimate of non-

    clean-up and containment costs rising from $7bn to over $15bn.

    As we have done previously, we have not included any third-party liabilities within our

    adjusted earnings or cash flow forecasts, but we are now increasing the liabilities within

    our sum of the parts to reflect these costs. This change results in a reduction in our price

    target of a further 40p, from 650p to 610p.

    In addition to the stock rating, we provide sector views which rate the outlook for the sector coverage universe as 1-Positive, 2-Neutral or 3-Negative (see definitions below). A rating system using terms such as buy, hold and sell is not the equivalent of our rating system. Investorsshould carefully read the entire research report including the definitions of all ratings and not infer its contents from ratings alone.

    BP is, or during the past 12 months has been, a non-investment banking client (securities related services) of Barclays Bank PLC and/or anaffiliate.

    Valuation Methodology: Our price target for BP's shares is derived using a discounted cash flow methodology, using a 10% discount rate. Ourcalculation includes our estimate of value created from future growth based on the company's past and expected future return spread over itscost of capital. The cash flows in our DCF calculation comprise both dollar and local currencies. Our price target is set in local currency, based onthe dollar exchange rate on the date the target is initially published. Subsequently, the corresponding ADR price target in US dollars will move withthe prevailing exchange rate on a daily basis. If the dollar exchange rate relative to the local currency moves significantly compared with the rateused when the local currency price target was initially published, we re-calculate and re-publish the local currency price targets using the currentdollar exchange rates. Our price targets are not market linked.

    Risks which May Impede the Achievement of the Price Target: Our BP share price target and recommendation depends upon our estimates of

    profitability and cash flow and the rate at which we discount the cash flows. These estimates in turn are based on assumptions for oil prices anddownstream margins. These assumptions depend on the Barclays Capital European Oil and Gas equity research teams estimates for future energysupply-demand patterns, exchange rates, commodity prices. All of our estimates are subject to revision and may be materially different fromeventual outcomes. In addition the company operates on a global basis in many regions with sometimes unstable political regimes and changingfiscal terms. The actions of OPEC can also have a significant influence on the oil market. All estimates assume no marked changes in the currentpolitical landscape. Both upstream and downstream operations are subject to planned and unplanned downtime. BP has a greater than averageexposure to Russia where it has close to 25% of its production base.
