    SAHM ADRANGI,PORTFOLIOMANAGER,KERRISDALE CAPITALMANAGEMENT

    JONES LANG LASALLE(NYSE: JLL): Industry leader in real estate advisory services. Asset-lite,

    service-based business model (roughly 40% of revenue is recurring). Prestigious brand name with

    global footprint can attract and retain talent. Leading competitive position in an oligopoly industry (#1

    market share in Europe and Asia). One of only two brokerages (C.B. Richard Ellis) with global scale

    and full product suite. Financial crisis has allowed JLL to consolidate weaker, regional brokerages.

    Ability to reinvest cash flows at attractive ROIs. Roll-up of boutiques provides for continued

    compounding (generally preferably to buybacks; pays 78x EBITDA for its deals, translating into

    immediate value creation ). Global commercial real estate transaction volume remains 35% below

    pre-recession levels. JLLs 14.5x 2014 P/E multiple appears too cheap given its competitive position

    and projected earnings growth of 15%+ based on European real estate recovery, a strengthening

    U.S. economy, and emerging market growth. Even after deducting revenue contributed from

    acquisitions, JLL has grown at a 12% CAGR over the past seven years. Margin expansion opportunity

    as JLLs EBITDA margin is ~300bps below CBRE and newly installed, GE-trained CFO may drive

    cost efficiencies. Advisory-focused investment banks (Lazard, Evercore, Greenhill) are a decent

    comparable and they trade at 22x 2014E P/E versus JLL at 15-16x. At a 22x 2014 P/E multiple,

    which, is warranted given JLLs growth prospects, competitive position in a oligopoly market, and

    exposure to the emerging markets, JLL would be worth $155 per share, or a 50% increase from the

    recent share price. Adrangi's discounted cash flow model yields a $150 per share fair value.

    JEFF AUXIER,CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER,AUXIER ASSETMANAGEMENT

    LABCORP(NYSE: LH): ~15% share price decline since mid-November provides an opportunity to

    buy a compounder in the attractive clinical lab industry and benefit from a shareholder-friendly

    management team. Recent concerns about declining volumes and pressures on reimbursement rates

    are likely temporary as doctor visits have been delayed due to a slow recovery out of the recession

    and uncertainty over health care legislation. But, in time, this will change as patients cannot delay

    critical health testing forever (similar to Zimmer's experience over the past few years in knee and hip

    replacements). Bigger picture: long runway for demand growth as 10,000 people a day are turning 65

    and that age group has historically been the biggest user of lab tests. Also, recent negative Supreme

    Court ruling related to competitor Myriad Genetics may provide opportunities for increased volumes

    for certain products. LabCorp has historically invested well in technology and relationships with

    doctors and through its increasing scale has become the low-cost provider in an effective duopoly

    with Quest. Potential for value-enhancing acquisitions as temporary pressures on volumes and

    reimbursement rates disproportionately hurt smaller-scale providers. Generating $600+ million ofFCF, which implies a high single digit free cash flow yield. CEO David King has been a disciplined

    capital allocator (50% of cash flow has historically gone into buybacks, rest into acquisitions). Since

    2002 shares are down from 147 million to 86 million.

    MYRIAD GENETICS (NASDAQ: MYGN): Stock out of favor (~30% decline since November end

    DAVID ROLFE,CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER,WEDGEWOOD PARTNERS

    EMC(NYSE: EMC): EMC stub valued at just 4-5x earnings, adjusting for VMware stake at market

    value (~$30 billion) and net cash (~$8.5 billion), which account for about 75% of EMCs recent market

    capitalization. EMC's forward P/E, on a non-adjusted basis, is still only 11.5x. This is too low given

    EMC's entrenched ecosystem (services represent ~45% of revenue), sticky customers and

    unparalleled distribution (direct sales force). Companys strategy of both R&D and scalable

    acquisitions drives competitive product/service offerings. At the recent valuation, the bear case

    (current decelerated growth is secular, not cyclical; flash storage and software-defined storage will

    cannibalize traditional hard disk drives; public cloud is only a threat and not an opportunity; VMwares

    entrenched vSphere gets displaced by Open-Source and Microsofts Hyper-V; and recent premium-

    priced acquisitions of Data Domain and Isilon are evidence of lack of internal product development)

    has to be so overwhelmingly right as to render EMC a broken growth company. - which Rolfe does

    not see materializing. Therefore, the new $6 billion stock buyback should be quite accretive at current

    valuation. Rolfe see downside of about 10% to $22 and fair value of $32-35, or 30%+ upside.

    JAKE ROSSER,MANAGING PARTNER,COHO CAPITALMANAGEMENT

    UCP(NYSE: UCP): One of the cheapest ways to participate in the recovery of the U.S. housing

    market. Asymmetric return potential with low downside risk and significant upside. Simple NAV story,a dollar trading for $0.50 based upon undeveloped land. UCP is a hybrid land developer and home

    builder focused on high growth western markets with three quarters of operations based in California

    PAUL LOUNTZIS,PRESIDENT,LOUNTZIS ASSETMANAGEMENT

    PEPSICO(NYSE: PEP): Potential separation of snacks and beverages businesses to create value

    (50%+ upside from recent share price). While investors still think of Pepsico as a beverages business,

    the majority of value is in the snacks business, which has better growth prospects than beverages.

    While management's willingness to effect a spinoff and an eventual timeframe are difficult to predict,

    Lountzis believes Yum! Brands, which was spun-off by Pepsico in 1997, represents a precedent for

    spin-off success at the company. Another issue favoring a spin-off is that Frito's volume weakness in

    recent years is likely linked to the weakness in the Americas beverages business. Lountzis agrees

    with shareholder Trian that the status quo is not a viable long-term option. However, Lountzis prefers

    the option of a simple separation of snacks and beverages to the more complex alternative (also

    proposed by Trian) of merging Pepsico and Mondelez, followed by a snacks/beverages separation.

    Separately, Lountzis also likes the following two preferred stock ideas for income-oriented investors:

    USB SERIES F(FRAP), WFC SERIES R(FRAP)

    CHRIS SWASBROOK, PORTFOLIOMANAGER,ELEVATION CAPITALMANAGEMENT

    POST HOLDINGS(NYSE: POST): Third-largest cereals business in the U.S. (market share: 10%)

    after Kellogg (34%) and General Mills (33%) undergoing a significant, yet still underappreciatedtransformation under hall of fame capital allocator and CEO Bill Stiritz of Ralston Purina fame. A dollar

    invested with Bill Stiritz when he became CEO of Ralston Purina was worth $57 nineteen years later.

    peers) due to structural advantages (owns midstream assets; shipper status on pipelines; relationship

    with Walmart; small format). This gives the company competitive fuel gross margins while also being

    a low-cost provider and making the business less sensitive to oil price swings. Recent insider buying.

    Likely year-end portfolio clean-up selling pressure (spin-off). Trading at discount to peers and

    absolute sum-of-the-parts value: 7.1x LTM EBITDA-capex (normalized), 7.0x base case CY2014E

    EBITDA-capex. Growth opportunity: plans to open 60 stores per year with 200 openings over the next

    three years and 400-500 more through 2020 within Walmart network. Equity offers 50%+ near-term

    upside. Downside protection: Retail segment real estate worth more than current enterprise value.

    Strong balance sheet. Catalysts: 1) sale of non-core ethanol plants; 2) increased appreciation of the

    quality of the business and its near-term growth prospects; 3) margin expansion from higher mix of

    larger floor plan stores; 4) announcement of dividend or restructuring (conversion to REIT or MLP).

    CHRIS KARLIN,CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER,AQUITANIA CAPITALMANAGEMENT

    CHIMERA INVESTMENT(NYSE: CIM): Mortgage REIT formed in 2007 and managed by FIDAC, a

    subsidiary of Annaly Capital Management. Owns non-agency residential mortgage backed securities.

    Why this company might be mispriced: 1) financial statements are not current due to accounting

    restatement; 2) potential NYSE delisting resulting from non-current financials; 3) limited

    communications with investors; 4) GAAP accounting treatment deviates from cash economics; 5)

    priced below $5 per share; and 6) trades with agency mortgage REIT peer group although facingdifferent set of risks and opportunities. Karlin views Chimera as effectively a closed-end bond fund

    selling at a deep discount to NAV. Closed-end because of delinquent filer status (which should

    long ways off. In the meantime, investors collect a 4% dividend yield on a debt-free balance sheet.

    Earnings growth and multiple expansion are likely due to improving business sentiment in the U.K.,

    possible higher utilization of balance sheet, and moving past prior issues (ICM, Sanofi). If, as Olesen

    believes, Creston is 30% undervalued (at a low teens fair value earnings multiple), and value

    increases 10% per year, a 20% IRR is possible if the stock is fairly valued in three years.

    RANDALL ABRAMSON,PORTFOLIOMANAGER,TRAPEZE ASSETMANAGEMENT

    MANITOK ENERGY(Canada: MEI): Western Canada oil and gas company trading at $2.15 per

    share compared to Abramson's estimated value of $4.50 and growing. Short term noise has created

    an opportunity as the recent flow-through financing created an overhang on the stock and the

    company revised downward 2013 guidance (due to disappointing third quarter results) related totiming issues and production mix. In addition, the Entice acquisition created uncertainty about the

    future direction and the COO left the company. However, management are astute buyers of the stock

    and there has been insider buying recently. Currently trading at an enterprise value of $35,000 per

    boe/d, 4.5x Q3 annualized cash flow and 2.3x 2014 cash flow guidance. It is also trading at a discount

    to its 2012 reported reserve-based NAV per share of $2.84. Value added through 2013 and the

    addition of Entice should raise the current NAV to about $3.50. Abramson's private market value

    estimate is $5.75 per share in a takeout scenario based on an EV per boe/d of $85,000.

    Industry consolidation has favored the largest competitors

    The 2009 financial crisis led to an industry reshuffling

    Grubb & Ellis, formerly a Top-5 firm, filed for bankruptcy in February 2012 and merged with

    Knight Frank in April 2012

    Poorly positioned middle-market brokers have lost market share

    Full product-suite model has cost advantages over boutiques

    Transitionally-oriented boutiques (HFF, Eastdil Secured, Marcus & Millichap, etc.) generally

    dontoffer property management and leasing services

    JLL can underbid on transactional fees in order to win recurring property management

    business and long-term client relationships

    Along with CBRE, JLL is the only firm with a truly global footprint

    Real estate is a local business, and global clients demand expertise in various geographies

    Representatives for multi-million dollar transactions are risk-averse

    Harder to be fired for hiring a top-tier brand like JLL or CBRE

    The real estate services business has evolved more and more into two models, the global model where you have mulitiple service

    lines and very broad geography to service clients around the globeThen you have the niche models. Anything in the middle is hard

    because either youre competing against a global company with clout and infrastructure or a niche player who does a single job in a

    single location better than anyone.Cushman & WakfieldsCEO (March 2012)

    Ability to reinvest cash flows at attractive ROIs

    JLL has taken advantage of the crisis by investing in growth

    55% of earnings have been reinvested into acquisitions over the past three years

    Roll-up of boutiques provides for continued compounding (generally preferably to buybacks)

    Generally pays 7 8x EBITDA for its deals, translating into immediate value creation

    Acquisitions have translated into robust growth over the past three years

    Transaction activity is more dependent on a strengthening economy

    Indicators such as GDP growth, unemployment rate, and the health of capital markets are

    more predictive of transaction volumes

    Leasing, in particular, is highly correlated to the unemployment rate

    Leasing revenue, representing 32% of JLLs business, has lagged the transactional

    segments on high E.U. and U.S. unemployment

    We believe JLL should trade at a premium to the S&P

    Advisory-focused investment banks are a decent comparable

    At a 22x 2014 P/E multiple, JLL would be worth $155/share, or a 50% increase from the

    current share price

    We believe a 20x 25x P/E is warranted given JLLsgrowth prospects, competitive position

    in a oligopoly market, and exposure to the emerging markets

    "... we try to exert a Ted Williams kind of discipline. In his book The Science ofHitting, Ted explains that he carved the strike zone into 77 cells, each the size

    of a baseball. Swinging only at balls in his "best" cell, he knew, would allow him

    to bat. .400; reaching for balls in his "worst" spot, the low outside corner of thestrike zone, would reduce him to .230.

    In other words, waiting for the Fat Pitch would mean a trip to the Hall of Fame;swinging Indiscriminately would mean a ticket to the minors."

    Thesis

    Consensus erroneously focus on lower margins and consolidated financials (which include volatile,non-core segments that have been sold or are being sold)

    Obscured higher EBITDA and FCF, attractive return profile (ROIC 2x peers) and structuraladvantages which make the on-going business less sensitive to oil price swings

    Cursory sell-side coverage, wait and see mentality from buy-side

    Meaningful recent insider buying; likely year-end portfolio clean-up selling pressure (spin-off)

    Trading at significant discount to peers and absolute SOTP value

    7.1x LTM EBITDA-capex (normalized), 7.0x base case CY2014E EBITDA-capex

    Equity offers +50% near-term upside

    Downside protection: Retail segment real estate worth more than current EV

    Strong balance sheet

    Catalysts

    Sale of non-core ethanol plants Estimated after-tax value: $44M-47M

    Removes low return, volatile segment and focuses the business

    Increased awareness and appreciation for the quality of the business and its near-term growthprospects

    Margin expansion from increased composition of larger floor plan stores

    Announcement of dividend or restructuring (conversion to REIT or MLP)

    Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs)

    Overview

    RINs are created by blending ethanol and bio-diesel fuels

    Sold in the market (exchange trading started on CME in May) to companiesthat are unable to meet annual quotas as set by the EPA

    In 2012 D6 ethanol RINs traded for $0.05-0.10 per gallon

    FDAs increasing requirements under Renewable Fuel Standards 2 (RFS2) ledto a spike in RIN prices (ethanol RINs up to $1.45 per gallon in July 2013)

    RINs prices currently $0.30

    MUSA

    RINs created in MUSA Wholesale business (not related to ethanol plants) 15M RINs per month capacity with 100% contribution margin

    Normalized EBITDA: $30M per year ($0.25 per RIN, 10M RINs/ month)

    Risks Secular decline in gasoline consumption: MUSAs stations are located in the SE and

    MW, regions with a lower adoption of alternative fuel vehicles and limitedtransportation alternatives to cars

    Spike in oil prices: low cost sourcing and history of effectively managing throughchallenging pricing environments

    Walmart relationship: MUSA is not permitted to sell higher margin prepared foods,but are allowed to sell fountain drinks. WMT also has right of first refusal on thesale of any MUSA land. Mutually beneficial relationship mitigates risk of separation.MUSA owns land limiting WMTs leverage

    Murphy USA (MUSA): Detailed Financials

    Notes:- Historically MUSA consolidated financials includedrefining in 2010 (divested in 2011) and ethanol (being sold)

    - MUSA does not provide separate financial information forthe wholesale segment for competitive reasons

    - Any fluctuations in its financial contribution can beconsidered intercompany since the wholesale businessspurpose is to support retail

    - In order to estimate contribution separately from core-retail, wholesale and RIN, retail EBITDA per store isassumed to be is $320k per year and RIN revenue is

    assumed to have 100% EBITDA margins
