Cash flow hedge (CFH) are simply ineffective (loss/gain) hedge portions of the RMSC which has been liquidated (settled) as of 30th June and awaiting respective physical market transaction to take place to offset these hedging losses.

Only when physical sales & purchase of the commodity takes place it can be reflected on P&L statement.

HEDGE ACCOUNTING & how it is reported on OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (OCI)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5P_M9fWqGg

The above simple example for ORANGES can be viewed as CRUDE OIL for HY where the hedge is going LONG (i.e, the higher the future price, the higher the hedging gain)

For refined products hedge, it is about going SHORT, the higher the future price, the greater the hedging loss.

The net effect of both above is what reported by HY under their OCI.

What is refining margin Hedging?
.............................

In order to mitigate their exposure to crack spread price volatility, many refiners hedge the crack spread by purchasing crude oil futures or swaps and simultaneously selling refined products futures or swaps as the results allows the refiner to lock-in or fix the refining margin.

Cash flow hedge reserve and cost of hedging reserve:

The cash flow hedge reserve is used to record gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and that are recognised in other comprehensive income. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when the associated hedged transaction affects profit or loss.

The cost of hedging is seen as cost of achieving the risk mitigation inherent in the hedge. It is incurred to protect the Company against unfavourable changes in price. The changes in the cost of hedging is initially recognised in other comprehensive income and removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss in the same period that the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.

The figures of the above reported in OCI of HY Q2 results, was purely to do with the effects of the Refining Margin Swap Contract (RMSC) that HY had entered.

Cash flow hedge (CFH) are simply ineffective (loss/gain) hedge portions of the RMSC which has been liquidated (settled) as of 30th June and awaiting respective physical market transaction to take place to offset these hedging losses.

Whereas, Cost of hedging reserve (COHR) is simply the following:

Forward looking Mark-to-market estimate of the difference between the fixed price (hedged) and the future spot price multiplied by the notional quantity and discounted back to a present value based on a reasonable discount rate determined by the producer.

If one understands the above, it shall be perfectly clear why both (CFH & COHR) are not reported in P&L statement.

Unrealized Cost of Hedging Reserve (COHR) , loss / gain: (A-M) x V

A = hedged crack spread value, 12.7 USD/brl
V = barrels volume of refined products hedged, 18 million
M = Marked to Market pricing of the hedged refined product at end of reporting period (mark to market)

Since at the end of June 22', the avg crack spread of the refined products, e.g gasoline at 31.6 USD/brl, the opportunity lost for the period of hedging is

Unrealized Cost of Hedging Reserve (COHR):
= (12.7 - 31.6) USD/brl x 18 million barrels
= - 338 million USD or MYR 1,490,267,000

...

Now lets see what happens when say at end of Sept 22, Gasoline crack drops to its usual average of 5.7 USD/brl

Unrealized Cost of Hedging Reserve (COHR):
= (12.7 - 5.7) USD/brl x 18 million barrels
= 90 million USD or gain of MYR 395,000,000

Rock bottom EPS analysis
.........................

let us assume as extreme conservative scenario where 50% of HY throughput is hedged where they will only reflect hedge margin at 10 USD/brl, with the balance free to capture market margin

1. Diesel at 46% yield, cracks USD 50.36/brl
2. Jet fuel at 7% yield, cracks USD 38.40/brl
3. Gasoline at 35% yield, cracks USD 7.77/brl
3. Rest of product yield at 12%, using Mogas 95 cracks USD 7.77/brl

Gross profit from (Hedged) portion:
..............................

= (10.7 million x 50%) x (10 USD/brl) x (MYR 4.45/USD)
= 238 million MYR .....(1)



Gross profit (UN-HEDGED) portion:
............................

Refining margin/brl:

= (0.46 x 50.4 ) + (0.07 x 38.40) + (0.35 x 7.77) + (0.12 x 7.77)
= (23.18 + 2.70 + 2.72 + 0.93)
= US $ 29.5 / brl

Gross profit:
= (10.7 million x 50%) x (29.5 USD/brl) x (MYR 4.45/USD)
= 702 million MYR ......(2)



Total gross profit (1) + (2)
= 238 + 702
= 940 million MYR

PBT = 840 million
PAT = 638 million
EPS = 2.12

Fair estimation:
...............

Even if we assume the RMSC covers complete Gasoline production capacity of 35% yield x 10.6 million, 3.7 million barrels, you are securing the below gross profit after hedging losses or gain.

= 3.7 million x 12.7 USD/brl x 4.45 ex
= 209 million MYR.....(1)

No matter what the figures are reported on CFH & COHR, they are purely trying to show the ineffectiveness / effectiveness of the hedging but the profit contribution remains the same.

The CFH shows how much 'opportunity for greater profit than 209 million / per qtr' is confirmed loss while COHR shows potential loss if the scenario prolongs indefinitely for the balance notional value.

For every negative value on CFH & COHR that will take place, there will be equally higher gross profit in future physical market transaction where after deducting the hedging loss anticipated, you will report the same 209 million for gasoline per qtr.


For the balance refined products diesel, jet fuel and others (10.7 - 3.7 = 7 million barrels per qtr) , you have the following:

1. Diesel at 46% yield, cracks USD 50.36/bbl
2. Jet fuel at 7% yield, cracks USD 38.40/bb
3. Rest of product yield at 12%, using Mogas 95 cracks USD 7.77/bbl

Gross refining margin/brl:

= (0.46 x 50.4 ) + (0.07 x 38.40) + (0.12 x 7.77)
= (23.18 + 2.70 + 0.93)/ (0.65)
= US $ 41.2 / brl

Gross Profit :

= (7 million barrel sales per qtr) x ( US $41.2/brl) x (MYR 4.45/USD)
= 1.283 Billion MYR........(2)


Total gross profit after hedging gain / loss: (1) + (2)
= 1.483 Billion MYR

EPS will be exceeding RM 3 per QTR

The above is what we will obtain going forward if the Diesel & Jet Fuel margins are stable around there. The hedging losses reported on page 8 (438 million) are the effects of monthly hedging of Diesel & Jet fuel as all refinery does (refer my article on Q2 results prediction earlier) and this is expected to become zero as crack spread stabilizes from month to month.

Whereas, Cost of hedging reserve (COHR) is simply the following:

3. Rest of product yield at 12%, using Mogas 95 cracks USD 7.77/bbl

Gross refining margin/brl:

= (0.46 x 50.4 ) + (0.07 x 38.40) + (0.12 x 7.77)
= (23.18 + 2.70 + 0.93)/ (0.65)

Gross Profit :

Total gross profit after hedging gain / loss: (1) + (2)

Forward looking Mark-to-market estimate of the difference between the fixed price and the future spot price multiplied by the notional quantity and discounted back to a present value based on a reasonable discount rate determined by the producer.

Even if we assume the RMSC covers complete Gasoline production capacity of 35% yield x 10.6 million, 3.7 million barrels, you are securing the below gross profit after hedging losses or gain.

= 3.7 million x 12.7 USD/brl x 4.45 ex
= 209 million MYR.....(1)

No matter what the figures are reported on CFH & COHR, they are purely trying to show the ineffectiveness / effectiveness of the hedging but the profit contribution remains the same. (SERIOUSLY, THINK ABOUT THIS)

The CFH shows how much 'opportunity for greater profit than 209 million / per qtr' is confirmed loss while COHR shows potential loss if the scenario prolongs indefinitely for the balance notional value.

For every negative value on CFH & COHR that will take place, there will be equally higher gross profit in future physical market transaction where after deducting the hedging loss anticipated, you will report the same 209 million for gasoline per qtr.


For the balance refined products diesel, jet fuel and others (10.7 - 3.7 = 7 million barrels per qtr) , you have the following:

1. Diesel at 46% yield, cracks USD 50.36/bbl
2. Jet fuel at 7% yield, cracks USD 38.40/bb
3. Rest of product yield at 12%, using Mogas 95 cracks USD 7.77/bbl

Gross refining margin/brl:

= (0.46 x 50.4 ) + (0.07 x 38.40) + (0.12 x 7.77)
= (23.18 + 2.70 + 0.93)/ (0.65)
= US $ 41.2 / brl

Gross Profit :

= (7 million barrel sales per qtr) x ( US $41.2/brl) x (MYR 4.45/USD)
= 1.283 Billion MYR........(2)


Total gross profit after hedging gain / loss: (1) + (2)
= 1.483 Billion MYR

EPS will be exceeding RM 3 per QTR

The above is what we will obtain going forward if the Diesel & Jet Fuel margins are stable around there. The hedging losses reported on page 8 (438 million) are the effects of monthly hedging of Diesel & Jet fuel as all refinery does and this expected to become zero as crack spread stabilizes from month to month.

What is a Cash Flow Hedge?

keyword - FORECASTED TRANSACTION (thats why its not placed into P&L).

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a specific asset or liability, or of a forecasted transaction, that is attributable to a particular risk. It is possible to only hedge the risks associated with a portion of an asset, liability, or forecasted transaction, as long as the effectiveness of the related hedge can be measured.

Accounting for a Cash Flow Hedge

The accounting for a cash flow hedge for the hedging item is to recognize the effective portion of any gain or loss in other comprehensive income, and recognize the ineffective portion of any gain or loss in earnings. The accounting for a cash flow hedge for the hedged item is to initially recognize the effective portion of any gain or loss in other comprehensive income.

Reclassify these gains or losses into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Cash flow hedge:

Settlement Risk

In an oil and gas transaction, settlement risk is the risk that a counterparty takes physical delivery of the producer's oil or gas and fails to pay for any or all of the delivered product. Settlement risk is, therefore, unique to physically settled contracts, including fixed-price and floating-price contracts. An oil and gas producer's exposure to settlement risk can be estimated in advance of delivery by multiplying the quantity of oil or gas to be delivered by the price to be paid by the purchaser.

Failure by a purchaser to pay under a physically settled oil and gas contract can impact the producer's ability to satisfy its obligations under a financially settled hedging contract. When a producer enters into an oil or gas swap contract it relies on its physical purchaser to take, and pay in a timely manner for, the oil or gas produced. When the oil or gas index price specified under the swap is greater than the fixed price under the swap for any specified period, the producer
owes the difference to the swap counterparty (see Swap Contracts). The producer often secures the funds to make payment under the financially settled hedging contract from funds received under the physically settled oil and gas contract.

The physical oil and gas transaction and the swap transaction are separate and distinct transactions. As a result, failure of a purchaser to perform under its contract does not excuse the oil and gas producer's obligation to make payment under the swap.

Both counterparties to a fixed-price contract are exposed to mark-to-market exposure as spot prices fluctuate during the term of the contract

@BLee, FYI on core principle of hedging (how it works)

Posted by probability > Sep 4, 2022 4:56 PM | Report Abuse

@MM, i bet if you can squeeze your brain cells a bit after a strong cup of coffee and spend 10 minutes to understand the below concept, you will be quite confident HY makes money (secures) through hedging

try taking this challenge for you:

Extract from below article:

Fixing Refiner Margins Through a Simple 1:1 Crack Spread

In January, a refiner reviews his crude oil acquisition strategy and his potential gasoline margins for the spring. He sees that gasoline prices are strong, and plans a two-month crude-to-gasoline spread strategy that will allow him to lock in his margins. Similarly, a professional trader can analyze the technical charts and decide to “sell” the crack spread as a directional play, if the trader takes a view that current crack spread levels are relatively high, and will probably decline in the future.

In January, the spread between April crude oil futures ($50.00 per barrel) and May RBOB gasoline futures ($1.60 per gallon or $67.20 per barrel) presents what the refiner believes to be a favorable 1:1 crack spread of $17.20 per barrel. Typically, refiners purchase crude oil for processing in a particular month, and sell the refined products one month later.

The refiner decides to “sell” the crack spread by selling RBOB gasoline futures, and buying crude oil futures, thereby locking in the $17.20 per barrel crack spread value. He executes this by selling May RBOB gasoline futures at $1.60 per gallon (or $67.20 per barrel), and buying April crude oil futures at $50.00 per barrel.

Two months later, in March, the refiner purchases the crude oil at $60.00 per barrel in the cash market for refining into products. At the same time, he also sells gasoline from his existing stock in the cash market for $1.75 per gallon, or $73.50 per barrel. His crack spread value in the cash market has declined since January, and is now $13.50 per barrel ($73.50 per barrel gasoline less $60.00 per barrel for crude oil).

Since the futures market reflects the cash market, April crude oil futures are also selling at $60.00 per barrel in March — $10 more than when he purchased them. May RBOB gasoline futures are also trading higher at $1.75 per gallon ($73.50 per barrel). To complete the crack spread transaction, the refiner buys back the crack spread by first repurchasing the gasoline futures he sold in January, and he also sells back the crude oil futures. The refiner locks in a $3.70 per barrel profit on this crack spread futures trade.

The refiner has successfully locked in a crack spread of $17.20 (the futures gain of $3.70 is added to the cash market cracking margin of $13.50). Had the refiner been un-hedged, his cracking margin would have been limited to the $13.50 gain he had in the cash market. Instead, combined with the futures gain, his final net cracking margin with the hedge is $17.20 — the favorable margin he originally sought in January.

glad you are absorbing fast

in everything there is risk

seriously, if they can break down HY refinery into 100 smaller refinery , i would definitely buy out one mini refinery (take over the company).

where to find 2 qtr payback period?

Posted by PSAi3alert > Sep 6, 2022 8:49 PM | Report Abuse

Probability,

I rationalized it by imagining hedge positions that are being closed for previous positions and being opened for future positions, on a monthly basis.

The marked-to-market derivative losses were high because the crack spread margins were very high on 30th June, and were above the contracted price to sell.

So, come July, Aug, etc, they will just deliver the products at those contracted prices.

However, there are just to many variables to consider.

MM might drive into the refinery in a car full of explosives. Suddenly the options become naked.

(Rare events can happen. The Kobe earthquake on 17 January 1995, took Nick Leeson's short straddle positions into tailspin and total losses were £827 million.)

@Blee, FYI on risks..

Infact, hedging is to reduce risk (not the other way).
We have a paranoia in i3 where now hedging is viewed negatively as a form of gambling..

if they are hedging 18 million barrels distribute over 24 month that like 2 million barrel hedged every qtr for a plant that produce 10 million barrels...

Its calculated risk. If the plant got into fire and it has prolonged shutdown, they can always clear their hedge position on the market albeit with small loss or even gain.

risk is too low

Of course they know their production handling capacity. But to Hedge without goods and for futures that are uncertain....is pure Gambling.

why? Hedging GAIN from gasoline.

The present market cap of Hengyuan = 1.458 billion.
PAT for the first half of FY2022 = 715 million.
I believe the PAT for second half of FY2022 = 1.3 billion.
I also believe total PAT for FY2022 = 2.0 billion which is 542 million more than the present market cap.
My sifu taught me the 5 most important FA criteria to assess the FA report for the first half of FY2022.
1.) Growth > 917% better than the previous first half year.
2.) Free cash flow = -16 million. However, Hengyuan is still able to make an operating profit before changes in working capital of RM 939.171 million in the first half of FY2022.
3.) PER = 1.73 very good.
4.) ROE = 45% which is very high.
5.) EV/EBIT = 2.13 very good.

I can see the free cash flow is = -16 million which is not a positive free cash flow.
The rest of criteria are excellent.
I will say the fundamental of Hengyuan is very good after the first half result of FY2022.
Is there any stock listed in KLSE has PER = 1.73 and EV/EBIT = 2.13 ?
The answer is no. You cannot find any stock with such low PER and EV/EBIT.
I still conclude the fundamental of Hengyuan is very good.
