Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold


Equity Research

Leveraged names bounce on gold price move but valuations look stretched
Gold up 20% off lows on speculation,
physical buying and heightened risk
Gold has rallied 20% to trade above $1,400/oz off
lows, before receding back to $1,350/oz. The
recent uptick is a result, in our view, of investors
speculating on a slower exit to QE, higher
inflation and potential intervention in Syria.

resulting in a justifiable rally in more


leveraged names in our coverage
As the gold price rallied, fourth quartile leveraged
stocks have rallied (ABG +77%, ANG +15% and
HAR +20% from lows in May and June) on greater
operating leverage. As the gold price declines, we
believe that the stocks will de-rate.

After the rally leveraged names stretched on


valuation: ABG off CL-Sell, remains Sell, HAR
down to Sell; reiterate Sell on ANG
Since the gold price rally post July, the gold
names have been among the top performing
stocks vs. our broader coverage. Following this
rally, our gold names are trading on average
2013/14E P/Es of 29x/61x far above the historical
range.

Sibanye provides a compelling valuation


opportunity; catalysts ahead; upgrade to Buy
Sibanye is trading on 2013/14E P/Es of 3.2x/7.1x.
Given it has the highest dividend yield (2013/14E
7.5%/3.5% vs. sector 1.7%/1.1%) with a strong FCF
yield, we believe this discount is unwarranted.

We forecast gold to decline from here


We expect gold to fall on improvement in US
economic activity and less accommodative
monetary policy (supported by our benign outlook
for inflation). We also expect ETF holdings to
continue to fall and central bank and physical
buying to be insufficient to offset price declines.
We believe this process has started.

12-MONTH PRICE TARGETS AND RATINGS

Another round of above CPI wage increases


in South Africa is disappointing
After much trepidation, the wage talks in SA are
coming to an end with the likely outcome of 8%10% wage increases as well as a 1-2 week strike.
While there is still risk of further disruption, the
more disappointing aspect is continued above CPI
wage hikes impacting costs.

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

Leveraged names bounce on gold price move but we remain negative on the commodity
and valuations look stretched
After reaching a multi-year low in July the gold price has rallied 20% (primarily on uncertainties surrounding QE tapering
and the Syrian crisis) to trade range bound between US$1,380/oz and US$1,425/oz. With this rally off lows of US$1,175/oz,
the higher cost, more leveraged gold and silver names have rallied (ABG 93%, ANG 18% and HAR 16% from their lows in
May and June) which we believe is justified as operating leverage increased. However, our ECS colleagues continue to
believe that gold prices will fall post this rally on continued improvement in economic activity in the US (leading to higher
bond yields) and less accommodative monetary policy (our Economists expect that the decision to begin tapering by
September end will be taken with the September 18 FOMC meeting). This process has already started with gold trading
under US$1,350/oz.

Gold has rallied but we believe a US recovery, higher yields and end of QE will see gold lower
The gold price has rallied more than 20% after reaching a multi-year low of US$1,175/oz in July this year. This rally in our view is a
result of uncertainty surrounding timing of QE tapering and more recently the Syrian crisis. We mark-to-market 3Q13 to US$1,400/oz
which results in an increase of 7% to our 2H13 forecasts: now US$1,388/oz (previously US$1,300/oz). However, we expect gold to fall
on continued improvement in economic activity in the US and less accommodative monetary policy (our Economists believes that
tapering will begin by September end). We expect ETF holdings to continue to fall and that continued central bank buying will not
be sufficient to offset this decline in prices. Further, we expect this decline in prices to coincide with rising jewellery/retail demand
(given the upcoming wedding/festival seasons in India/China), which we view as price responsive and not price setting.

Justified rally in more leveraged names has led to stretched valuations; we expect stocks to derate as gold price declines
With the rally in the gold price our fourth quartile leveraged stocks have rallied from their lows in May and June of this year. Most of
these stocks have total cash costs in the range US$1,200-1,300/oz and a small uptick in the gold price affords these names a high
operating leverage. Post this rally all these stocks are trading at significant premiums to both the sector and their historical valuation
range. We believe that as the gold price declines these stocks will de-rate sharply.

SA miners avoid big disruptions but 8%-10% wage rises continue to drive costs
The relatively minor one- to two-week disruptions felt by the majority of the gold mining industry in South Africa were not as bad as
many had forecast. But this outcome needs to be balanced against the decade-long cycle of above-CPI wage rises in the industry
and the companies objective of a less than CPI agreement. Most of the major producers have agreed c.8% yoy wage increases and
have taken minor one- to two-week disruptions. Overall, while not earnings destructive in 2013, the inability of the industry (and
government) to stop the trend above-CPI wage increases is disappointing.

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

Stocks in review Sibanye to Buy, Harmony to Sell, reiterate Sell on African Barrick and
AngloGold
African Barrick: Turnaround plan stabilises, but reiterate Sell on valuation
We downgraded ABG to Sell with a thesis that as one of the highest total cash cost producers at peak capex levels it would be under
severe pressure in a declining gold price environment. The stock declined to under 100p (June 28) as gold declined to under
US$1,200/oz. Since then the company has announced its turnaround plan with 1H13 results, gold has rallied to above US$1,400/oz
(retreating since to back under US$1,350)and the stock is up c.90% from lows. We can understand investors buying into the most
leveraged name but we believe the stock will again come under pressure as gold declines towards our target of US$1,144/oz in 2014
(-16% from todays spot) and the valuation for the stock is 43x/129x P/E on 2013/14E (and 42x/12x P/E on spot). After taking into
account the turnaround plan, we still do not forecast that ABG will generate free cash after capex and dividend in 2013, 2014 or 2015.
Our investment case remains that ABG has a portfolio of high cost mines, does not generate cash and is trading at a significant
premium to our coverage. It remains cheap on price-to-book and could screen strongly as a value stock but we believe that the book
value is over stated on our gold price assumption. We reiterate our Sell rating but remove ABG from the Conviction List as the risk
that investors continue to play the most leveraged names remains and the impact on the gold price of tension in Syria reduces our
conviction. Our 12-month price target is 110p, implying 35% downside.

AngloGold: Reiterate Sell on valuation; balance sheet actions positive but portfolio challenges ahead
New CEO, Venkat (former CFO), has aggressively managed the balance sheet with a new US$1.25 bn high-yield bond and the
relaxation of the debt covenants for 2014 to an upper limit of 4.5x net debt/EBITDA. This has reduced the immediate balance sheet
pressure given the >3x on our 2014 estimates and the upcoming May 2014 US$725 mn convertible. The challenge, however,
remains the portfolio, which has many high-cost mines that are producing well below capacity and will need either a) time to
address sub-capacity production performance (e.g., Obuasi, Geita); b) to take costs out of high cost mines, particularly in South
Africa; or c) to sell/close end-of-life assets. If gold goes to sub US$1,200/oz, as we forecast, then restructuring the portfolio is likely to
occupy management for the next 12-18 months. This challenging outlook is balanced with the low-cost, volume increase coming
from the Tropicana and Kibali projects in 2014. We remove AngloGold from the CEEMEA Focus List after underperformance.

Sibanye Gold: Upgrade to Buy on valuation, Cooke acquisition and dividend catalysts
Our primary investment thesis for Sibanye is that it is undervalued relative to peers trading on P/Es of 3.2x/7.1x on 2013/14E vs.
29x/61x for our broader coverage. With no significant growth projects and hence spending only sustaining capex, Sibanye is
generating cash at low gold prices at the corporate level. The company has announced (September 12) a maiden interim dividend of
37 rand cents (15% on underlying earnings) but is targeting a 35% payout for FY13 which would translate into DPS of c.R1 or up to a
8% dividend yield, making it the highest dividend yield in our mining coverage. Finally, Sibanye has announced the expected
acquisition of the Cooke operations from Gold One including the surface retreatment operations which could deliver c.220koz in
2014 rising to c.400koz in 2016 on our estimates at an average cost of c.US$1,200/oz, with the surface ounces planned to come in at
c.US$928/oz. We add Sibanye to the CEEMEA Focus List.

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

Harmony Gold: Downgrade to Sell on expected de-rating and over optimistic production guidance
We downgrade Harmony to Sell as we believe that with a relatively high-cost portfolio of mines and our view of a declining gold
price Harmonys earnings are most challenged into 2014. We also believe that its FY14 production guidance is too optimistic given
the climate in South Africa. We expect Harmony to guide lower in 1Q and 2Q14 results further reducing FY14 earnings.

Randgold Resources: The high quality miner; catalysts ahead; Neutral on weak outlook for gold
Randgold remains the best-positioned name with the strongest balance sheet and strong cash flow from operations on our
estimates. After the capex is complete at Kibali we estimate that the companys total cash cost (TCC) will be under US$800/oz. We
expect production to grow to 1,200koz by 2015 from an estimated 845koz in 2013 The company, on our estimates, has a strong 2014
FCF yield of 2.6% growing to 7.3% by 2015. The company has no development project in the pipeline post Kibali and we expect the
company to start ramping up its dividend. But given our weak outlook for gold and that Randgold is trading at 22.5x 2013E P/E, we
remain Neutral.

Gold Fields: South Deep delays impact investment case but Yilgarn acquisition positive; Neutral
The two most important announcements with the 2Q13 results were the delay in ramp-up schedule of South Deep (which will now
not hit the targeted 700koz annual run-rate in 2016) and the acquisition of Yilgarn South assets (for a total consideration of
US$300 mn) from Barrick Gold which could add c.450koz of gold to GFIs production profile. This acquisition improves the sovereign
risk profile of the company (Australia will account for 42% of production) but the impact of yet another setback for the South Deep
project will negatively impact sentiment towards the stock.

GDX index reweighting; positive for Sibanye and African Barrick


The rebalancing of the NYSE ACRA gold miners index scheduled for September 20, 2013, and the implied flows for the GDX ETF
will be a positive catalyst for Sibanye Gold US and ABG LN. The NYSE ACRA gold miners index is looking to increase the weights
of Sibanye Gold (US listing) and African Barrick Gold (ABGL.L).
For Sibanye the rebalancing will involve 26 days of buying which represents c.US$24.6 mn of additional buying, assuming daily
average volume of 0.23 mn shares at a share price of US$4.13 (as of September 2, 2013 close). For ABG rebalancing will need 14
days of buying which represents US$73.2 mn of additional buying, assuming daily average volume of 1.81mn shares at a share
price of 185.4p (as of September 3, 2013 close).
This rebalancing scheduled for September 2013 lends a small technical upside to the stocks.

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

We raise our 2H 2013 gold price forecast; bearish medium/long-term outlook unchanged
We mark-to-market 3Q13 to US$1,400/oz and raise our 4Q13 price estimate to US$1,375/oz (from US$1,300/oz) which raises our 2013
price forecast to US$1,456/oz (from US$1,413/oz) given geopolitical tensions and upcoming seasonal buying in India where we
expect stronger bar and coin demand. Despite these changes we continue to have a bearish view on the gold price in the medium
and longer term:

We believe that with the 18 September FOMC meeting the Fed will take a final decision on QE tapering. Our Economists believe
that tapering will start by September end.

We expect ETF holdings to continue to fall. Furthermore, we expect continued central bank gold buying will not be sufficient to
offset this decline in prices. We also expect the decline in prices to coincide with rising jewellery/retail demand (given the
upcoming wedding/festival seasons in India/China), which we view as price responsive and not price setting.

Finally, while this forecast implies that the unwind of physical gold investments will push gold prices below the marginal cost of
production, we expect mined output to decline which will maintain prices over the longer term near US$1,200/oz (our forecast
for 2015 and beyond).

Recent rally helped by Syrian uncertainty


Historically in times of war gold prices have shot up as demand for safe-haven assets jump. Gold and oil have had a positive
correlation (Exhibit 4) historically. A higher oil price typically slows economic growth which tends to be supportive of a higher gold
price. This has further added to demand for bullion pushing prices above US$1,400/oz.
With tensions relating to Syria having increased in the last couple of months (Exhibit 5), geo-political tensions have helped drive the
gold price up. We believe continuing geo-political tensions could act as a short-term catalyst for bullion but note that historically,
any risk premium has tended to come out of the metal once tensions subside.
Exhibit 4: Oil and gold prices have shot up in times of geopolitical tension

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

Long interest in gold has recently increased on Syria tension and uncertainty on QE timing
Exhibit 6 shows the historical relationship between gold long and short positions. The market has generally been net long, with long
positions outweighing the shorts. However, post the sharp fall in gold price on April 15 the shorts rose sharply before reaching their
max in July. Since then the gold price has stabilized and has been trading between US$1,380/oz and US$1,425/oz.
The shorts since August (Exhibit 7) have fallen steadily, and the long positions have started to show some signs of recovery, after an
extended period of decline. We believe this is a direct result of the uncertainty surrounding the timing of QE tapering coupled with
Syrian tensions.
Exhibit 6: Short interest in gold has fallen substantially after rising sharply
since May

Exhibit 7: Long interest in gold has shown positive activity which we believe
is largely on Syria concerns and timing of QE tapering

ETFs: Daily outflows have slowed, moving to a net neutral since mid-July
The gold price has rebounded from a low of US$1,215/oz to a range around US$1,380/oz and US$1,425/oz which in our view is a
direct result of strong physical buying of bar and coins and the heightened risk relating to Syria.
ETF inflows and outflows have been strongly correlated to the gold price, and on occasions have even driven changes in the gold
price (Exhibit 8).
Since the gold price has been rebounding outflows have slowed (Exhibit 9) even moving to net neutral over the past month with
some days of additions.
It is hard to say if ETF outflows are reflecting the higher gold price or the slowdown in outflows is driving the gold price but in our
view as the gold price declines to US$1,200/oz we will see more outflows.
Exhibit 9: Since February 2013 a cumulative 24.5moz has been sold off by
ETFs and outflows have continued despite gold price recovering somewhat

We still expect total ETF outflows of 880 tonnes by year end


ETF holdings remained relatively stable while the gold price declined from US$1,800/oz to US$1,600/oz (December 2012-February
2013). However, since late-February, over 660 tonnes (c.21.2 mn oz) have been liquidated from global ETFs, valued at c.US$29 bn (at
US$1,400/oz).
ETFs reflect predominantly institutional holdings, in our view because products such as gold can be owned by many equity funds as
well as by multi-asset funds, and are therefore a good guide to institutional sentiment towards gold.
At the beginning of 2013, global gold ETF holdings were c.84.6moz (2,398 tonnes), but have declined to c.62.7moz as of September
10 (1,786 tonnes). ETFs have been a relatively consistent source of demand for gold over the past few years (adding between 200
and 600 tonnes in the past four years). With outflows of c.580 tonnes year-to-date this has led to a reversal of c.800-900 tonnes in
2013.
Exhibit 10: ETFs have added 200-300 tonnes per year historically; in FY13 we
expect outflows of c.880 tonnes

Exhibit 11: The pace of outflows has decreased over the past month; but we
expect outflows to continue grossing 880 tonnes by FY13 end

India gold demand strong despite RBI measures but SGE premiums indicate China demand
softening
India currently has a 5% current account deficit and gold is the second major driver behind oil. The government has sought to curb
gold imports by: 1) raising import taxes to 10%; 2) restricting supply to domestic users other than against full payment; and 3)
banning sale of gold coins, medallions and dores without a license from the foreign trade office. However, this has only had a
limited impact on the apparently insatiable appetite for gold in India which imported US$2.9 bn worth of gold in July even as prices
hit an all time high as the local currency devalued (INR has depreciated 22% YTD against USD). With the upcoming wedding and
festival season, we expect gold demand to remain strong.
China (where demand, according to the World Gold Council, is set to overtake India) has shown demand softening with premiums
having fallen from a high of c.US$96.oz achieved in April this year just after the gold price collapsed (premium is a reflection of how
much the local market is willing to pay over the global gold price). Another reason why we believe demand in China is softening is
the muted response to the first gold ETFs launched in China. Huaan Asset Management and Guotai Asset Management attracted
just US$195 mn (vs. an expected US$400 mn) and US$66.7 mn respectively.
Exhibit 12: Gold demand has remained strong in India even as the gold price
in India has reached record highs on currency devaluation

Exhibit 13: SGE premiums have declined from their highs in April/May
indicating softening demand

Longer term indicators still support our bearish stance: Gold has decoupled from US treasury
rates which indicates downside risks
Our Economists forecast 10-year US treasury yields to reach 2.5% by year end 2013 and 3% by year end 2014, however, the current
10-year US treasury yields are nearing 3%. A recent phenomenon we have observed is the decoupling of the gold price from 10-year
US treasury rates. This, in our view, is a reflection of risk related to timing of QE tapering, the geopolitical tensions in Syria and
rotation out of EM markets into safe haven assets, a move from which gold has benefitted.
In our view, the gold price will in time align to 10-year yields, i.e., US$1,200/oz. We continue to believe that this is the key long-term
driver of the gold price and therefore retain our bearish stance on the commodity.

Other drivers: Production response unlikely to have a material impact in the short term, but
weaker pricing will eventually bring support from elsewhere
In our note Survival of the fittest as lower gold price puts high-cost mines in jeopardy, May 3, 2013, we argued that miners needed
to cut higher-cost production by at least 10% to lower their total cash costs/oz. With 1H13 results we have not seen any tangible
action by companies on making production cuts except a few announcements by companies about their intention to sell off some
assets. The total mine supply in 1H13 was 1,409 tonnes. We now forecast full year production of c.2,850 tonnes. In our view, the
rationale for not cutting production is based on companies views that the gold price will reach historical highs of US$1,800/oz. But
with the gold price now settling in a range of US$1,380-US$1,425/oz we believe that the companies will start to sell/shutter down
loss-making mines to stem the cash burn.
We continue to believe that mined output will need to adjust to offset the oversupply we forecast, and we expect high-cost mines
that cannot be turned around through high-grading or cost reduction to be put on care and maintenance if the lower price
environment persists. It is not an easy decision for the mining companies to take, and we would expect it to take a couple of
quarters of low prices to drive a response. However, we expect this to happen eventually, as it did in 2000-2002.

Mine production: As we believe that there is no cost support in gold mining, when the price settles we would expect the
miners with high-cost mines to reduce unit costs through high-grading (where possible), or by cutting operating costs and
capex to stay in business. If this cannot be done, then we would expect these mines to be put on care and maintenance.
Consistent with our published view, we believe that c.280 tonnes (c.10%) of mining capacity will have total cash costs above our
gold price forecast, and hence to be under threat of closure.

Producer hedging: Although hedging was still negative in the first half of the year, we expect the trend to change in the second
half as companies acknowledge the reality of a lower gold price. Australias Norton Gold and Evolution Mining have already
hedged a major portion of their output.

Recycling/scrap: We expect recycling to fall 13% yoy reflecting lower gold prices. Electrical and industrial scrap is unlikely to be
impacted, in our view.

Jewellery: Jewellery demand was strong in 1H13 and we expect the trend to continue into 2H13 with the upcoming wedding
and festival season in India and China.

Bar and coin demand: Following the sharp fall in gold price the bar and coin demand for 1H13 was at 914 tonnes (c.70% of
2012 demand). We expect the trend to continue into 2H13 with total demand of c.1,900 tonnes, up 52% yoy.

Central banks to be net buyers: Contrary to our belief that central banks would be large scale buyers of bullion, the total
demand for 1H13 was c.180 tonnes and for the full year we expect total purchases to be c.338 tonnes (down 38% yoy).

Supply-demand model has reshaped; we expect 2H13 to replicate 1H changes


In Exhibit 16 we discuss the impact of the lower gold price on the supply-demand balance. As expected the lower gold price led to a
fall in supply from recycling in 1H13 as investors hoarded bullion. As we move into the second half of 2013 we expect the following
notable changes from 1H13: 1) investment outflow to ease and recycling to pick up as the gold price stabilises; 2) with the upcoming
wedding/festival season in India, we expect jewellery demand to stay strong in 2H13 despite the slew of measures taken by the RBI
to curb demand; and 3) bar and coin demand to remain strong as we believe retail investors will continue to take advantage of the
low gold price.
Exhibit 16: Lower gold price shook up the S-D balance in 2013; we expect trend to continue albeit at a slower pace

Even after recent rally in gold prices and self-help many mines still not generating cash
The recent results calls were all about cost cuts and measures being taken by companies to adjust to the new reality which is a
lower gold price. As published in A weaker Rand can help, but SA golds remain under pressure, June 5, 2013 (in that note we used a
gold price of US$1,400/oz), we continue to believe that more than 50% of the mines are not making cash.
In Exhibit 17 we show the total cash costs for mines in our coverage for 2013 and 2014. Even after the recent wave of self help,
c.50% of mines (especially legacy mines in South Africa) are still burning cash at the current gold price (despite the cost optimization
plans companies have implemented) and in our view closures is the only viable option.
Exhibit 17: c.50% of mines in our coverage have a total cash cost above the spot gold price; the situation improves in 2014 but cash
burn continues on our gold price

At a company level the reduction in capex in 14 and 15 gets coverage under US$1,200/oz
Many companies in our senior gold and silver coverage have a total cash cost per ounce above our current 2013/14 gold price
forecast (Exhibit 18). In many cases, this reflects expansionary capex which should fall through 2014 and 2015 (Exhibit 19). However,
in many cases it is a result of low grades and high cost inflation and cannot be easily rectified (e.g. African Barrick Gold). Exhibit 18
reflects the capex cuts announced by the companies with their results. Most of the cuts, we believe, have been from budgeted
expansionary capex with only slight cuts made to sustaining capex. We believe that companies have very little headroom left to
bring their costs down in case of further gold price falls.
One option is high-grading the mines, increasing the mined grade and thus lowering the tonnes moved and the unit cost per
ounce. This can only be done if the geology or the mine allows mining in higher-grade zones without first having to mine lowergrade ores. ABG and AngloGold have both mined at their reserve grades in 2012, while Harmony, Randgold and Sibanye all mined
well below their reserve grade and have the potential to lower unit costs by focusing on higher-grade ores.

Self-help in full swing: Capex and exploration first to be cutoperating costs harder
The recent quarterly/half yearly production/financial results show all gold producers grappling with the reality of a sustained lower
gold price. They have cut down on exploration budgets, both greenfield and near mine, and are focusing on making their operations
leaner by reducing costs.
Exploration spend is easy to cut. It does not impact short-term production and is material to free cash flow. Capex is harder but can
be flattened out over a longer time period or renegotiated or finally, projects can be deferred. Again this is good for short-term cash
flow and does not impact operations. Head office and support costs are usually next which typically have a smaller impact on total
costs but do not impact operations. Cutting operating costs is significantly tougher and this is where most of the costs are.

Reducing costs is hard: It is no surprise that taking costs out of a mine is very tough. There are three main areas: 1) people, 2)
energy (electricity and diesel), and 3) consumables (e.g., explosives, steel). Reducing employees is hard as a result of
unionization (as is clear from the threat by unions to strike should Amplats go ahead with the proposed 6,000 job cuts which
finally had to water down the job cuts to 3,300 and then only c.2,000 in the final announcement). Reducing workers pay is just
as tough and can also impact productivity. Energy costs are usually set by the government or the global oil price, and typically
efficiency initiatives take time to pay off. Finally, in the case of consumables, the costs of explosives and steel are almost always
linked to the price of the commodity the miner is producing and selling: they only tend to fall in price is when the commodity
price also falls.

Production matters more than costs: It is a truism that in mining units produced matter more than gross costs when
considering unit costs. Mines are effectively fixed cost operations, and producing more output has the dual benefit of lowering
the unit cost (more units on virtually the same costs) and producing extra revenue. If one thinks of the additional revenue as
offset against costs, then the benefits are significant. For example, if a mine produced 100koz gold at US$1,000/oz, gross total
costs would be US$100 mn. Cutting costs by 10% would see the unit cost fall to US$900/oz. Producing 10% more would see unit
costs fall 9%, and if the additional 10koz were counted against costs at US$1,470/oz (US$14.7 mn) then the unit cost would fall
to US$775/oz, or 25% below the original. In many cases, targeting cost reduction in the traditional sense is bad for business, as
spending more to expand production (if possible) almost always is of greater value. High-grading is the main way that a mining
company can increase its output.

In extractive industries such as mining, costs always tend to go up: The start-up of a new mine is always planned to
maximize the first 3-5 years of production, to maximize the NPV of the project. Each subsequent year of production sees the
mines pit (or shaft depth) get bigger (deeper). Consequently, travel times, haul trip times, air ventilation expense (and virtually
every other cost) rises each year. As a practical example: In Year 1 of an open pit mine, the haul truck travel time from loading
to tipping takes 30 minutes. In Year 2 because the pit is wider and deeper, the trip time is 35 minutes. To maintain the same
tonnes/hour output from the mine, management must insert an extra truck into the fleet which needs an extra drive/shift. The
new truck will burn fuel, need maintenance and consume tyres.

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

For structurally high-cost mines care & maintenance is a tough choice, but often the only choice
With the sharp fall in gold price companies have taken steps to cut capex. AngloGold put its Mongbwalu project in Africa on ice
with the 1Q13 results. Harmony recently put its attractive Wafi-Golpu project in PNG on hold citing unattractive returns at the
current gold price. This is a step forward in the right direction but in our view investors need to see more tangible action. Closures
of loss-making mines especially in South Africa in our view could turn the dial for the companies but as the recent developments in
South Africa (Amplats was forced by the SA government to water down its proposed job cuts from 14,000 to 6,000 and keep its
Khusulekha mine operational) have shown this is not straightforward. The Government (upcoming elections in South Africa in 2014)
together with the unions (both NUM and AMCU fighting for dominance) is strictly against any job cuts. The draft mining bill
currently in parliament which proposes tax increases on mining companies in a bid to increase revenues will also hit the companies
already battling the falling gold price.

Weaker currency: A tailwind but comes with risks


Recent currency depreciation in EM (South African rand (ZAR) has depreciated 21% YTD against USD) and Australia (AUD has
depreciated 17% against USD) has helped the companies on the cost front as a major portion of a mining companys costs are in the
local currency. Our Strategists are forecasting even weaker mining currencies going forward.
In our view, with the S&P performing and enough green shoots to indicate a US recovery, investors do not need exposure to EM
markets to get returns. We have seen a rotation out of the ZAR back to the US$. Add to this the impact of the markets heightened
view of country risk and the currency sell-off seems logical. The depreciating currency is clearly a tailwind for those resource stocks
for which the US$ commodity price is set by global markets, as gold is, but the companies book the revenues in ZAR, as the South
African gold miners do.
On the face of it, a weakening local currency is a strong reason to buy stocks and the bounce in the shares would indicate that the
market agrees, but we highlight two risks: (1) one of the main reasons for the currency sell-off (particularly the rand) in our view has
been the instability in the mining sector; mathematically, earnings increase on a weaker rand but clearly the risk to delivery is higher
owing to strikes; and (2) a weaker rand also creates opportunities for unions to push for bigger pay rises (the NUM has negotiated
above CPI wage negotiations from SA golds). In a sense, investors cannot have their cake and eat it on the issue of the rand. The
problems in the sector have weakened the currency and these problems are just as likely to impact company performance.

ANG has the greatest need to turn around cash flow; ABG could muddle through
Exhibit 22 shows the total cash costs (Y-axis) and balance sheet position (X-axis) of our coverage. Stocks such as Randgold (RRS.L),
Sibanye (SGLJ.J) generate cash at our lower gold price forecast and have net cash/improving cash positions. Even in a much lower
gold and silver price environment, both these companies are compelling equity investments in our view. Conversely, companies at
the bottom left of the chart (ANGJ.J) have high costs and deteriorating net debt positions, and will, in our view, come under
increasing pressure unless radical (and speedy) restructuring can be delivered. African Barrick on our estimates is net cash but this
could change rapidly if the gold price was to decline (as we forecast) and/or if the cost optimization savings do not come through.

have higher total cash costs and leverage

Balance sheets for senior golds are safe for now; 2014/15 to be crucial for ANG and GFI
Exhibit 24 shows the net debt and the available debt facilities for the senior gold companies in our coverage. Randgold, Harmony
and Sibanye are relatively secure with net cash/low debt on their balance sheets hence will not require any refinancing, in our view.
The most at risk are AngloGold and Gold Fields which have rising net debt and limited available headroom related to available
financing. Both AngloGold and Gold Fields would have to refinance in 2H2014/1H2015, in our view.
African Barrick is secure for now but if the gold prices were to decline from here (as we forecast) the company could face financing
issues.

some additional facilities or refinancing in 2015

We update our estimates for our new gold price estimates and we now forecast Kibali reaching commercial
production in 4Q13 (we previously forecast first gold pour in 1Q13). Randgold announced with its 1Q13 results a
capex cut of US$50 mn at Kibali without affecting the schedule of the project. The company had also trimmed
capex at the Loulo-Gounkoto complex by US$20 mn.
Our 2013/14/15E EPS move -2%/-29%/-23% as we adjust our production, cost and metal price assumptions.

Implications
Randgold remains the best-positioned name with the strongest balance sheet and strong cash flow from
operations on our estimates. After the capex is complete at Kibali, we estimate that the companys total cash
cost (TCC) will be under US$800/oz. We expect production to grow to 1,200koz by 2015 from an estimated
845koz in 2013. The company has a strong 2014/15E FCF yield of 2.6% and 7.3% respectively. Post the
completion of Kibali we expect the company to start ramping up its dividend.
In our view investors with a positive view on the gold price would view Randgold as one of the better
opportunities since it is well protected on the downside with low-cost assets and operates in three countries
across four mines. But given our expectation for a weak outlook for gold, we believe the broader market will
continue to have a muted interest in the stock.

Valuation
We value Randgold using a 50/50 blend of our P/E valuation (a target multiple of 20x based on our GS SUSTAIN
framework (see Appendix 1) applied to our 2015 (previously 2014) earnings estimate) and our NAV estimate.
This results in our new 12-month price target of 5,700p (from 5,650p), implying 24% upside. We are Neutral
rated on the stock.

Key risks
Randgold operates in Mali (Loulo, Gounkoto, Morila), Cote dIvoire (Tongon) and the DRC (Kibali). All three
countries have experienced political instability in recent years. However, this has abated somewhat more
recently, though it remains a risk. The diversity of Randgolds operations across multiple countries helps, but we
believe country-specific risk impacting production or costs in the future are significant. Additional risks include a
weaker/stronger gold price and execution success/failure at Kibali.

* Returns = Return on Capital

For a complete description of the investment


profile measures please refer to the
disclosure section of this document.

ABGs shares are up 77% since hitting a low of 96p on June 28 this year. In our view the outperformance has
been driven by: 1) the increase in the gold price (+20% off lows); 2) the markets response to ABGs turnaround
plan; and 3) Barricks intention to sell the company. Investors have logically sought a leveraged producer in a
rising gold price environment.
We remove African Barrick from our Pan-Europe Conviction Sell List. Since being added to the Conviction Sell
List on May 3, 2013, the shares are up 11.3% vs. FTSE World Europe +2.5%. Over the last 12 months, the shares
are down 63.6% vs. FTSE World Europe up 18.8%.

We remain bearish on ABG given its constrained capacity to make cash at both current and our forecast gold
prices. The cost optimization plan via which the company plans to save US$185 mn (US$100 mn in 2013 15%
in operating costs and 30% in corporate overheads) is insufficient and on our estimates ABG continues to burn
cash through to 2015E. Management is doing the right things but we believe gold will decline into 2014 and
further restructuring will thus be required.
Consistent with our note Survival of the fittest as lower gold price puts high-cost mines in jeopardy, May 3,
2013, we continue to believe that even with the cost optimization plan in place ABGs total operating cost is still
above our 2014/15 gold price estimates of US$1,144/oz and US$1,200/oz. And this we believe cannot easily be
remedied as the already-high sustaining capex is largely related to overburden stripping (i.e. required to prepare
for mining) in 2013 and 2014, or to delivering lower cost growth ounces at Buly. As such, reducing capex is not
likely to be straightforward. In addition, ABG is mining close to its reserve grade based on current reserves, so it
is likely that the company does not have the flexibility to high-grade the mines.

Also, given the uncertainty surrounding the operations following the resignation of the COO (new CEO Brad
Gordon will take responsibility for all operations until a replacement is found) we highlight that the company
may not be able to get to the higher end of guidance of 540-600koz (1H13 production was 311koz).
We value ABG using a 50/50 blend of our P/E valuation (applying a target multiple of 7x based on our GS
SUSTAIN framework (see Appendix 1) to our 2015 earnings estimate previously 2014) and our NAV estimate.
This results in our new 12-month price target of 110p (was 100p), implying 35% downside. We reiterate our Sell
rating on the stock. The stock is overly expensive in our view trading at 2013/14E P/Es of 43.4x/129x vs. coverage
average of 29x/61x.
The key upside risks come from a higher gold price than we anticipate and better-than-forecast production. A
faster execution of portfolio review would be a positive catalyst. At current reduced valuation levels it is possible
that another M&A offer may emerge as Barrick Gold (ABX), the owner of 75% of the shares, seeks to rationalise
its portfolio.

Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Research estimates, FactSet. Price as of 9/11/2013 close.

We update our estimates for the 2Q13 results and our revised gold price estimates. Production came in at 935koz
at a total cash cost (TCC) of US$898/oz. The company reiterated full year guidance of 4-4.1moz at a TCC of
US$815-845/oz. The company, like others in our coverage, focused on increased capital discipline by reducing
capex by c.US$100-150 mn, exploration expenditure by US$40 mn to US$377 mn. Corporate costs for FY13/14
were reduced by US$51 mn and c.US$130 mn respectively. We remove AngloGold from our CEEMEA Focus List
following recent underperformance.

Implications
Our 2013/14/15 underlying EPS moves to $1.26/-0.21/0.22. On our estimates, AngloGold is burning cash through
to 2015. The above-CPI wage hikes offered to workers (7%-8%) and the constant threat of strikes (platinum sector
wage negotiations up next) could further intensify the cash burn. Also we believe that the guidance for 2013 is
overly optimistic given that production for 1H was 1.8moz at a TCC of 895/oz. On our estimates (even after taking
the planned start-up of Kibali in 4Q) ANG will produce c. 3.8moz (vs. 4moz+ guidance) at a C1 cash cost of
US$848/oz. The new CEO (Venkat, previously CFO) has acted decisively to shore up the balance sheet. The newly
issued US$1.25 bn bond will both replace the May 2014 convertible (c.US$725 mn) and provide some additional
headroom. The new bonds coupon is 8.5% (compared to 3.5% for the convertible) implying an additional
US$40 mn interest costs. Additionally, the relaxation of the 3x net debt to EBITDA covenant to 4.5x for the next
two periods (FY14 and 1H2014) means that there is no imminent risk of the company breaching debt covenants
but on our estimates it could face this issue at end 2014. The net debt to EBITDA for FY2014 on our estimates is
3.21x. With most of the work on the balance sheet done, attention is now likely to turn to improving the
portfolio. ANG has multiple mines which are high cost (even after the cost reduction effort) and have short lives.
The company in our view needs to cut costs quickly and sell loss-making assets. Many of these assets are in
South Africa which 1) makes significant labour reductions hard to achieve (cf. the recent Anglo Plat attempt) and
2) asset sales hard to realize; in addition 3) recurring strike action and work stoppages could further impact cash
flow.

Valuation
We value AngloGold using a 50/50 blend of our P/E valuation (a target multiple of 9x based on our GS SUSTAIN
framework (see Appendix 1) applied to our 2015 earnings, previously 2014) and our NAV estimate. This results
in a 12-month price target of R120 (from R115), implying 11% downside. We reiterate our Sell rating.

Key risks
A higher gold price and no significant work stoppages owing to strike action by unions are the key risks to our
view and price target.

Price performance chart

We update our estimates for the 2Q13 results and revised guidance. Production results were in line with our
estimates but financials were skewed by the impairment charges the company took at its Ghana operations
(US$127 mn). GFI reiterated its production guidance at 1.82-1.9moz at a reduced cash cost of US$830/oz
(previously US$860/oz). It also announced stoppage of the Tarkwa heap-leach operations which on our
estimates will have a production impact of c.100-125koz. In common with the rest of the industry, the company
has implemented a cost cutting programme by cutting staff, reducing capex (FY13 guidance is now US$790 mn
vs. US$970 mn) and exploration budget (reduced to US$80 mn from US$130 mn).
The two most significant announcements were: 1) the ramp-up of South Deep is running behind schedule and
the company is unlikely to be able to hit the targeted 700koz annual run-rate in 2016; and 2) GFI will acquire
three Australian mines from Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX) which delivered c.420koz in 2012 for c.US$300 mn,
pending regulatory approval.

Implications
We update our model for 2Q13 results including lower production from South Deep in 2013-16, but not for the
acquisition as it has yet to close. We provide pro-forma analysis of the acquisition for comparison. Our
2013/14/15 EPS estimates move +29%/-27%/-41% on lower costs in the near term but lower production in 2015,
which lowers earnings. The immediate negative reaction of the shares post the results reflects the
disappointment from yet another delay to the South Deep project. Cuts to the ramp-up of South Deep impact the
investment case for GFI as the mine was planned to add c.450koz production at c.US$750/oz costs by 2016 with
the capital largely spent.
The acquisition of Barricks Australian assets for US$300 mn for c.400-450k oz annual production appears
relatively cheap compared to recent deal comps. The assets have a relatively short life of c.6 years (c.2.6moz
reserves) but the deposit types have relatively short reserve lives that are typically extended as mining expands
into new areas.

We value GFI using a 50/50 blend of our P/E valuation (a target multiple of 8x based on our GS SUSTAIN
framework (see Appendix 1) applied to our 2015 earnings, previously 2014) and our NAV estimate. This results
in a 12-month price target of R55 (was R58), implying 9% upside. We stay Neutral on valuation but look for news
on the South Deep production profile and the deal closure.

Key risks
Higher/lower gold price and/or a weaker/stronger rand, outcome from wage negotiations, and execution
success/failure at South Deep are key risks to our view and price target.

Europe, Middle East & Africa: Metals & Mining: Gold

South Deep delays impact investment case but Australia acquisition a positive; Neutral
Gold Fields 2Q13 production results were in-line with our estimates with financials skewed owing to an impairment charge
at the Ghana operations (US$127 mn). The outlook for production from existing projects is however weak with Tarkwa
heap-leach operations being suspended (an impact of c.100-125koz) and South Deep ramp-up delayed owing to a slower
material build-up. The company announced the acquisition of Yilgarn South mines from Barrick Gold in Australia for a total
consideration of US$300 mn. This acquisition mitigates the SA risk (Australia now forms biggest portion of GFI production
profile at 42%).

South Deep delay a concern; Tarkwa heap-leach suspension takes off c.100-125koz
Gold Fields announced that owing to slower production build-up and delay in destress mining South Deep would not reach peak
production in 2016. We previously forecast South Deep reaching peak production of 700koz by 2016 but now believe that this will be
delayed till at least 2017. GFI also announced suspension of the Tarkwa heap-leach operations in view of the lower gold prices. The
net effect of this is c.140koz and c.170koz of lower production in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
Exhibit 35: New production profile is c.150koz less than original plan (owing
to late ramp up of South Deep and stoppage of heap leach operations at
Tarkwa)

Exhibit 36: The original production profile had full production from Tarkwa
and South Deep ramping up in 2016

Yilgarn south acquisition creates new opportunities


With the 2Q13 results the company announced the acquisition of Yilgarn South mines in Australia from Barrick Gold for a total
consideration of US$300 mn less c.US$30 mn working capital adjustment. As of 2012 the Yilgarn assets (Granny Smith, Darlot and
Lawlers) had a reserve base of 2.6moz and a resource base of 1.9moz. This analysis had been done at a gold price of US$1500/oz.
With the gold price now lower, we expect the final reserve and resource numbers to be lower, once integrated into GFIs resource
model.
The acquisition is positive for the company in our view as it improves its sovereign risk profile. Post the acquisition the company
will have c.42% production from Australia compared to 29% pre-deal (West Africa operations previously accounted for 42% of
production but this will fall to c.33% post acquisition).

Currency tailwinds a short-term catalyst


Gold Fields operates in Australia, South Africa and Peru. All the currencies AUD, ZAR and Peruvian Sol have depreciated 18.5%,
13.6% and 9.3% respectively. We forecast further weakening of the currencies and this creates a short-term tailwind for the company
as a major portion of the costs are based in the local currency.

Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Research estimates, FactSet. Price as of 9/11/2013 close.

We upgrade Sibanye to Buy with a new 12-month price target of R15 (up from R9.6) implying 30% potential
upside. Our primary investment thesis is that Sibanye is undervalued relative to peers trading on 3.2x/7.1x on
2013/14E vs. 29x/61x for our large-cap coverage. With no significant growth projects and hence spending only
sustaining capex Sibanye is generating cash at low gold prices at the corporate level. As expected following the
conclusion of a two-year wage agreement, the company announced an interim dividend of 37 rand cents as a
maiden interim dividend, equivalent to 15% on underlying earnings. Sibanye is targeting a 35% payout on
underlying earnings which on our estimates would translate into a FY13 DPS of c.R1 or c.8% dividend yield, the
highest dividend yield in our mining coverage. Finally, Sibanye announced the expected acquisition of the
Cooke operations from Gold One (JSE: GDOJ.J) including the surface retreatment operations much discussed by
Sibanye management as the potential 4th mine. Sibanye will distribute 150 mn new SGL shares (c.R1.5 bn,
US$150 mn) for the Cooke operations which we estimate can deliver c.220koz in 2014E rising to c.400koz in
2016E at an average cost of c.US$1,200/oz with the surface ounces planned to cost c.US$928/oz.
We update our estimates for the 1H13 results and our new gold price and FX forecasts. The company posted a
solid set of results with production of 656koz at total cash costs (TCC) of $983/oz. The company reiterated its
2013 guidance at 1.35moz at a NCE of R 360,000/kg (c.US$1,125/oz) at 10:1 ZAR: USD.

Catalyst
We see the following potential catalysts for Sibanye: 1) Successful completion of the cost cutting program
(currently underway) which would further reduce TCC and could offset the wage hikes to some degree. 2)
Consensus DPS estimates are currently R0.51, we forecast R1.0. 3) Sibanye has the highest FCF yield (2014E is
11.3% vs. sector average of 1.4%) and dividend yield (2013E is 10.3% vs. sector average of 2.3%) among our gold
and silver stocks and we believe that this is currently being under appreciated by the market as it is trading on
3.2x/7.1x 2013/14E. 4) The announced Cooke acquisition on our estimates is accretive to Sibanye. The Cooke
optimization plan (currently underway) could add c.34koz of gold production and reduce R/tonne costs c.40%.

Valuation
We value Sibanye Gold using a 50/50 blend of our P/E valuation (a target multiple of 6x based on our GS
SUSTAIN framework (see Appendix 1) applied to our 2015E earnings estimates (previously 2014) and 1x our
NAV. This results in a 12-month price target of R15 (previously R9.6) implying 30% upside potential. We upgrade
Sibanye to Buy from Neutral and add it to the CEEMEA Focus List.

Key risks
Key risks to our view and price target are a lower gold price than we expect, and a stronger rand; the above CPI
wage hikes and the continued threat of strike action and/or an extended period of strikes are further risks.

Rel. to FTSE World Europe (GBP)

Mar-13

Jun-13

We downgrade Harmony to Sell with a reduced 12-month price target of R30 (was R40) implying 23% downside.
Our thesis is that Harmony has 14 South African mines which delivered 1,139koz in FY13 (just reported) at an allin total cash cost of US$1,156/oz vs. our gold price forecast of US$1,094/oz for Harmonys FY14 (June year-end),
and we forecast Harmony will have a free cash flow yield of 0.6% and -3.4% in FY14 and FY15 respectively. The
company has guided to 2014 production of 1.3-1.4moz at a total cash cost of US$1,070-1,180/oz. Harmony also
reduced corporate expenditure and capex by R450 mn and R2.1 bn (mainly on account of lower capex at WafiGolpu) respectively.
The continued cash burn leads to Harmonys net debt rising to R926 mn in 2015E from R450 mn in 2013. The
2014 production guidance of 1.3-1.4moz is overly optimistic in our view. On our estimates the company will
produce 1.29moz for FY14 and this does not take into account work stoppages. We see continued threat of
strikes (although the NUM has accepted the 7%-8% wage hikes, AMCU has rejected the offer and it is the
majority union at Harmonys Kusasalethu mine).

Catalyst
We see several catalysts for Harmony: 1) We expect the gold price, which has recently increased to over
$1,400/oz on multiple uncertainty factors, to decline to $1,144/oz in calendar 2014 and given Harmonys total
cash cost position we believe it is negatively geared to a decline in the gold price. 3) Harmonys production
guidance is too optimistic given the climate in South Africa; we expect it to guide lower in 1Q and 2Q14 results.
3) Harmony is expensive vs. peers relative to its competitive position trading on a P/E of 30.3x FY14 and making
a loss in FY15E vs. 10.8x for ANG, 21.6x for GFI and only 3.2x for SGL (all in 2013E).

Valuation
We value Harmony using a 50/50 blend of our P/E valuation (a target multiple of 9x based on our GS SUSTAIN
framework (see Appendix 1) applied to our FY15 earnings (from FY14 previously). This results in a 12 month
price target of R30 which implies a 23% downside.

Key risks
A higher gold price could see HAR shares increase in value as investors seek the leveraged play to a rising gold
price. A potential sale of Harmonys 50% of the Wafi-Golpu project would be a significant upside risk.

Appendix 1: Refreshing our industry positioning framework


Focus on best commodities, volume growth and best positioned assets
We use an industry positioning framework to identify and analyse the factors that we believe will shape returns beyond our forecast
period. Exhibit 56 shows the factors we use for our industry positioning analysis, from which we derive our P/E based price targets.
Change in portfolio quality is driven, in our view, by the following key components:

Average cash costs: Companies which have low cost assets are best positioned in our view in a falling gold price scenario and
therefore deserve a premium versus the sector.

Mining growth: Key to increasing earnings is delivering growth. We believe companies with more growth deserve a premium
versus the sector, whereas those with no growth should trade at a discount.

Asset quality: Long life, low-cost assets which are less complex provide companies with superior positioning and, in our view,
deserve a premium versus other companies in the sector. Conversely, companies with lower-quality assets should trade at a
discount.

Fiscal and sovereign risk: Operating in less risky environments, with more certain fiscal regimes should warrant a premium in
our view. Conversely, those operating in higher-risk environments will likely face bureaucratic and fiscal changes and should
trade at a discount.

Cash costs: Key in falling gold price environment


We forecast gold to average US$1,144 in 2014 and US$1,200 in 2015. In the falling gold price environment we believe that managing
cash costs will be key. Randgold has the lowest cash cost mines hence gets a premium relative to the sector while African Barrick
Gold and Harmony Gold have fourth quartile costs hence attract a discount to the sector.

Production growth: Key to stemming cash burn


We remain positive on near-term (2012-2015E) growth for the miners, and believe that the ability to grow the portfolio is a critical
factor in increasing near-term returns. While holding a portfolio of assets in pre-feasibility stages (a growth pipeline) is essential to
longer-dated growth, we see near-term growth as of greater importance as:

Near-dated growth delivery dictates the ability to increase cash flows (in falling/flat gold price environment);

Near-term prices are easier to forecast, therefore allowing greater certainty on cash inflows;

Capex for near-term growth is mostly spent and there is greater certainty on the cash outlay required, thereby allowing more
accurate cash flow assumptions.

Asset Quality: Sustainably low-cost position assets key to a premium valuation


We build a composite score for asset quality based on two factors: (1) Grade; and (2) relative complexity. Both are scored from 1 to 3.
We use reserve life for grade and our teams judgement for a qualitative score for complexity. We then use the composite score to
adjust our target multiple.

Risk: Who, what and where?


Fiscal risk
We assess the risk of operating in countries using the Fraser Institutes global mining survey (2011/2012), from which we derive the
lower risk (e.g. Sweden, Australia, US) and higher risk (DRC, Zambia) definitions. Based on exposure at the EBITDA level to these
countries, we adjust the target multiples to reflect lower / higher country risk.

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
We, Eugene King, Abhinandan Agarwal, Fletcher Tully, CFA and Christophor Jost, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect our personal views about the subject
company or companies and its or their securities. We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed
in this report.

Investment Profile
The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth,
returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage
universe.
The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI,
ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month

volatility adjusted for dividends.

Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make
comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.

GS SUSTAIN
GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list includes leaders our analysis shows to be well
positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on
quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the
environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitions


Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a

stock's return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review
Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and 10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular
coverage group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee. Regional Conviction Buy and Sell lists represent investment recommendations focused on either the size of the
potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return.
Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all
covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one
of the following coverage views which represents the analyst's investment outlook on the coverage group relative to the group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The

months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage

transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because

there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended coverage of this company. Not
Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The

accurate or complete, and it should not be relied on as such. We seek to update our research as appropriate, but various regulations may prevent us from doing so. Other than certain industry reports
published on a periodic basis, the large majority of reports are published at irregular intervals as appropriate in the analyst's judgment.

recommendations or views expressed in this research.
The analysts named in this report may have from time to time discussed with our clients, including Goldman Sachs salespersons and traders, or may discuss in this report, trading strategies that
reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term impact on the market price of the equity securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analyst's published

potential relative to its coverage group as described herein.
We and our affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, excluding equity and credit analysts, will from time to time have long or short positions in, act as principal in, and buy or sell, the securities or

research is suitable for their particular circumstances and, if appropriate, seek professional advice, including tax advice. The price and value of investments referred to in this research and the income
from them may fluctuate. Past performance is not a guide to future performance, future returns are not guaranteed, and a loss of original capital may occur. Fluctuations in exchange rates could have
adverse effects on the value or price of, or income derived from, certain investments.
Certain transactions, including those involving futures, options, and other derivatives, give rise to substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors. Investors should review current options
disclosure documents which are available from Goldman Sachs sales representatives or at http://www.theocc.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. Transaction costs may be significant in option
