This document provides discussion materials for a conference on trends in the Australian mining services M&A market and what this means for Asia. It includes macro observations on improving sentiment in the mining sector and commodity prices. There has been increasing M&A activity as balance sheets strengthen and strategic rationales like geographic expansion and diversification drive deals. Transaction multiples have rebounded from lows, with mining products going for around 9x EBITDA and services 5x EBITDA. The positive fundamentals are expected to support further dealmaking in the region.
U.S. markets saw mixed returns in December as signs of economic recovery were offset by weaknesses emerging in the housing and bond markets. While job growth and consumer confidence recovered from hurricanes, housing data showed declining sales and rising inventories. Bond yields also inverted for the first time since 2000, a potential warning sign of recession. The Federal Reserve raised rates again but investors hoped this signaled the end of the tightening cycle. Overall, the document assessed recent economic indicators and market performance in December and provided an outlook looking into 2006.
Active Trading Plan: Insights & Opportunities 09 & 10 August 2021Unum Capital
The document provides an active trading plan and analysis for the week ahead, covering various global markets, sectors, and stocks. It identifies technical setups and trading opportunities based on chart patterns and recent price action. Key areas discussed include the strong US jobs report supporting the US dollar, weakness in gold and other commodities, mixed opportunities across South African sectors, and long and short setups developing on individual stocks based on technical indicators.
The first report was published in 2010. Each year, our report canvass the views of mining leaders across the country on their growth outlook and prospects, employment and pricing, challenges, opportunities and business priorities, and their advice to Canberra. Over the last seven years, the Mining Business Outlook Report has reported on the highs and lows of the industry first-hand. From broadcasting sentiment when mining was at its peak, to documenting the collapse in confidence as the sustained fall in commodity prices killed the mining investment boom, this report has provided expert insights into an industry facing turbulent times. In 2016, the Federal Government continues to lead the discussion of an economy in transition away from mining and resources. However, as this report shows, in an industry sector that accounts for more than 50 per cent of the value of all Australian exports, our interviews with mining leaders clearly suggest a shift in industry sentiment and potentially, a sustained improvement in the outlook for the sector. Despite the lows that still exist in parts of the industry, there has been a huge surge in sentiment. The outlook for mining appears more positive than it has been in the last three years, with a rise in cautious optimism from below 10 per cent two years ago, to nearly 50 per cent today. The underlying reasons for this are that many leaders have made the difficult changes necessary for their businesses to survive in today’s climate
of low commodity prices. There is a growing sense that prices have stabilised and the next price trend, though it may not occur soon, will be up. In addition to our 50 interviews with mining leaders across key commodities, this year we were also fortunate enough to conduct an exclusive interview with Gina Rinehart, one of Australia’s mining magnates, well-documented for her achievements with Roy Hill, Australia’s largest iron ore mine. Mrs Rinehart remains cautiously optimistic about iron ore, but also warns that in order to retain global competitiveness for Australia’s mining sector, the Australian Government and industry leaders must take urgent action. In summary, there appear to be signs of resurgence in the sector over the next 12 months, with a more confident outlook for the future. However, the sector is also calling out for clearer polices and Government backing in order to support its ongoing contribution to Australia’s economic prosperity, as we once again get ready for an election.

As part of its ongoing Breakfast Forum series, BoyarMiller gathered industry experts for a panel discussion on the look ahead for Houston’s Commercial Real Estate for 2016.
Speakers included: Jimmy Hinton with HFF; Jonathan Brinsden with Midway; and Trey Odom with Avera Companies.
U.S. core real estate funds provide international investors with:
1. Immediate diversification across major U.S. markets and property types.
2. Steady income from high occupancy properties.
3. High transparency thanks to the widely used NCREIF ODCE benchmark index.
The document provides an overview of major topics affecting the global economy and various industries. It discusses the proposed merger between Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller, which would create the largest beer company in the world. It also analyzes the struggling global economy, falling oil prices, and a high-risk mining company called Red Rock Resources that investors should avoid. The editor provides commentary on these various economic and industry news items.
1) Oil prices rose dramatically between 2004-2008, peaking at $145 per barrel in July 2008. However, many cited reasons for high prices like increased demand from China/India, dollar depreciation, and Middle East instability were myths and not supported by facts.
2) In reality, oil price increases were due to speculative trading on futures markets. Investors poured $60 billion into oil futures in early 2008, driving prices up, then withdrew $39 billion later in 2008, causing prices to fall dramatically.
3) Oil prices behave similarly to stock prices, driven more by expectations and speculation about future supply and demand rather than physical market fundamentals. The large influx of speculative money into futures markets caused
The document discusses expectations for the US and global economy and markets in 2016. It predicts:
- US economic growth of 2.5-3% driven by increases in manufacturing, business spending, and net exports taking larger roles than in 2015.
- Returns of mid-single digits (5-6%) for the S&P 500 as stocks may offer near historical routine returns with earnings growth normalizing.
- Limited returns for bonds as interest rates rise, reducing bond prices, though bonds still provide diversification.
The year may follow an unfamiliar path but end with routine outcomes, though investors must prepare for potential unexpected turns and volatility.

The document provides an overview of investment activity in various Asia Pacific real estate markets in Q2 2015. It notes that the Japanese economy is showing signs of recovery while real estate transactions have remained strong. It also discusses strong investment volumes in the commercial property markets of Australia, signs of increased investment activity in China and Korea, and uncertainty introduced by stock market volatility in Hong Kong. The document concludes by stating that big ticket commercial deals will determine if Singapore's investment sales perform better than last year.
The document discusses the Russell 2000 index compared to other US stock market indices. It notes that the Russell 2000 has greater diversity than indices like the S&P500 which are dominated by a few large companies. The Russell 2000 provides exposure to smaller, growing companies and is more sensitive to market movements. The document suggests the Russell 2000 may see stronger performance than indices heavily weighted in large energy companies, as smaller firms benefit more from lower energy prices.
The report analyzes price movements and patterns in crude oil and Pakistan's KSE-30 stock index, finding synchronous rallies ending in sideways movement from late 2009 to mid-2010, potentially forming a "Head & Shoulders" topping pattern. Similar patterns exist across other major indices like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 as well as commodity sectors, suggesting markets may be exhibiting exhaustion after 15-18 months of rallies rather than an "Armageddon-like" downturn.
- Kasbah Resources has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Toyota Tsusho Corporation, a major Japanese tin trading company, to earn a 20% interest in Kasbah's Achmmach tin project in Morocco.
- Under the MOU, Toyota Tsusho will make a series of payments totaling over $16 million, including a $1 million non-refundable payment, $15 million in project milestone payments, and a final payment based on the net present value of the definitive feasibility study.
- The agreement significantly de-risks development of the Achmmach tin project by providing funding to accelerate development works and exploration, while Kasbah retains 80% of

It's not getting any easier to invest, with the US economy growing quickly in the midst of trade wars and rising interest rates. The rest of the world is performing more modestly, and is more worried by US developments than the Americans.
Australia's doing better than we realise, with expansion of our resource exports, and population growth supportive of our economy, if not our stock market.
The easy gains in markets are past - we are confronted by rising world interest rates in conjunction with already elevated asset prices. Managing risk and avoiding complacency will be key.
Growth stocks are most expensive relative to their net present value, while value stocks have been depressed in relative terms. Markets are overpricing growth and underpricing stability.
This document provides a summary of global market performance in the third quarter of 2019. It discusses performance of various asset classes including US, international developed markets and emerging market stocks as well as real estate, bond and commodity indexes. US stocks outperformed international developed and emerging markets in the quarter. Within international markets, emerging markets underperformed developed markets. Real estate indexes outperformed equity indexes globally. The document also provides long-term average annualized returns for various asset classes over 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods.
Mining Investment Asia Conference Deck March 2018Nicholas Assef
This confidential document discusses trends in the mining sector, including:
1) Investment in exploration has reached near-record lows, which may lead to increased M&A activity as larger companies seek to acquire development projects.
2) Technology adoption, such as automation, sensors, and data analytics, has the potential to significantly increase productivity and efficiency in mining operations.
3) In the immediate future, dealmaking in the mining sector will likely continue, driven by factors such as consolidation, early adoption of technology, and volatility in commodity prices and markets.
This confidential document discusses trends in the mining sector, including technology adoption and investment levels. It notes that conservative spending after the global financial crisis has led to low levels of exploration and a lack of growth in project pipelines. However, it argues that technology will be a driver of value and that early adoption of productivity and efficiency innovations will provide competitive advantages. It predicts increased mergers and acquisitions as companies seek to consolidate and fill portfolio gaps. Volatility is also expected to drive more dealmaking activity.
Stocks rallied in May, with several indexes reaching record highs. Economic conditions have improved from a year ago, with inflation stabilizing and business spending recovering. Corporate earnings grew 8.1% in the first quarter, ending a streak of 14 quarters of double-digit growth. While markets have reached milestones, valuations are still relatively reasonable compared to the tech bubble peak in 2000.
This workbook provides an overview and analysis of M&A opportunities in the oil and gas sector. It begins with a macro analysis of historic and futures oil prices and recent deal activity trends. It then observes current market conditions, noting strategies companies are employing to adapt. The workbook validates M&A as a opportunity by examining two recent deals that demonstrated value creation through synergies and portfolio optimization. Contact details are provided for the project team at the end.
In our annual Calgary event, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, we presented Strategic Decisions for an Uncertain Future:
Mark Therriault, Nicola Wealth Financial Advisor and Partner, addresses several issues facing high net worth families:
• How will the Liberals’ tax changes affect financial planning for Canadians?
• How will inflated prices impact future returns?
• Are there best practices for navigating the current environment?
Rob Edel, Chief Investment Officer provides an investment roadmap for 2018:
• After a record-breaking period for the S&P 500, what signs might indicate an economic downturn?
• What current events could most affect the economy and investment strategy?
• What should one make of bitcoin, marijuana stocks, electric vehicles, and other hot topics for the upcoming year?
The document provides an overview of key issues and trends in the Australian equipment finance market based on a survey of 869 businesses. It discusses four main topics:
1) The economic update notes that while mining and construction are growing, non-mining business investment is mixed with soft demand. The federal budget's small business package may boost confidence.
2) Workplace safety is highlighted as a key consideration in equipment purchasing, as modern assets can reduce injuries and costs. Fewer accidents positively impact cash flow and productivity.
3) When considering new brands, businesses are advised to thoroughly evaluate quality, lifetime, costs and service, rather than just purchase price. Hiring experts can aid due diligence on new entrants
The Deloitte Queensland Index increased by 6.8% in the 2013 financial year, outperformed by the broader S&P/ASX All Ordinaries index which rose 15.5%.

The article discusses how an eight-year extension of the solar tax credit in the US provides opportunities for concentrated solar power (CSP) projects, but traditional tax equity investors are pulling back due to the financial crisis. This leaves utilities as potential new investors in CSP. Several large CSP projects totaling gigawatts are proposed in southwestern US states. While CSP costs 10-16 cents/kWh currently, the goal is to reduce costs through economies of scale and more efficient plant designs to be competitive with gas-fired peaker plants.

MACRO SECTOR OBSERVATIONS
7. The IMF forecasts robust global growth of 3.1%, 3.4%, 3.6% for FY16-FY18
Monetary conditions in the major world economies remain loose in historical terms.
China and India are forecast to continue to grow at above 6% and 7% per annum respectively, and this
is off a sizeable base
The new US administration has committed to a material increase in infrastructure spending and
sizeable increase in military hardware (but can Trump deliver ?)
The Australian economy continues to grow at trend, with some slack in the labour market allowing
companies to expand selectively
Commodity prices have rebounded over the past six months – but what sustainable levels ?
Material increases in infrastructure spending globally will underpin further commodity price gains
The value of Australia’s resources and energy exports is forecast to increase by 30% in 2016–17, to a
record $204 billion. This forecast represents a 16% upward revision from the previous estimate made
in September. (Department of Industry 2016)
Prolonged supply disruptions at large mines overseas will reinforce Australia’s reputation as a safe
jurisdiction for commodity producers and investors

8. A number of Australian-based miners have announced expansions in recent months. This is positive
for Service Providers potential project pipeline
BHP Billiton is investigating significant expansion opportunities at its massive Olympic Dam complex
Newcrest is seeking to ramp up and expand output from its Cadia mine over the next few years. This
expansion in capacity is largely to offset a decline in grade. This is certainly a theme with copper and
gold mines globally. Lower grade ores means more material has to be crushed and processed just to
maintain steady state production
Australian gold production has reached a 17 year high as miners seek to capitalise on strong
Australian dollar gold prices. New mines are opening, even as average ore grades are declining
Australian coal mines are also looking to expand as coal prices recover. This is on the back of large
mining curtailments in China due to uneconomic reserves and poor coal quality
Inbound queries from overseas investors looking to acquire and expand mining assets in Australia
have surged in the past six months
Australia is seen as a low-risk, politically-stable destination for foreign mining capital
Australia often seen as a platform jurisdiction for moving into Asian markets
Foreign acquirers tend to take a longer term view of commodity cycles than Australian-based
investors. They are seeking assets that they can grow over the medium-long term
Increasing inquiry of Western companies looking into emerging Asian regions – driven by anticipation
of ongoing increased growth of sector importance and the chase for Margin
Scale of in country operations often seen as a challenge – too small to be able to function as a local
platform to build other assets / operations around
Specialisation a much easier decision for a Board to sign of on to enter a market: “Sleep at night test”
Capitalising On Positive Market Sentiment
31 March 2017 Page | 8
‘Over the past year, Australia has generally gained market share of global resource commodities supply. The gains have come as a result of a large investment
in new capacity over the past decade, low production costs and the relatively high quality of Australia’s resources. Global consumption grew in 2016 for most
of the resource and energy commodities that Australia produces’. (Depart of Industry 2016)

Balance Sheets in good shape (Bidder & Target)
Cost cutting arguably delivered more effective, streamlined operations
Macro Factors “feeling” positive – although still fragile on US Policy
Bidders looking to diversify footprint / strategy quickly – ahead of perceived spend
Australian Mining Services & Engineering Companies have enjoyed aggressive valuation recovery
over the past 12 months, driven by commodity price recovery and Sponsor activity
Level of inquiry for Australia and South East Asia risen dramatically
Corporates & Financial Sponsors (selected) in deal making mode – although many PE now trying Exit
Multiple Cross Border and In Market plays unfolding – last quarter really accelerating
Rationales include acquiring :
1. like operations for geographic / client penetration
2. hetrogeneous business modelling – avoiding risk concentration
3. Market entry at the perceived lower risk part of the cycle curve
4. Specialisation
Capital for M & A is becoming increasingly available, although often from alternate sources to
traditional commercial trading banks – Mezz & Special Sits Funds
There is a reluctance for Boards / Management to return business models to gearing levels of pre
GFC and the “Resources Great Depression”

20. Mining Services Technology sought after– particularly where productivity improvement
Products and companies with high IP will also be attractive, as international players will
be able to leverage their products through cross border sales channels
Acquisitions in Asia will likely increase – but in particular as bolt ons for existing
operations or Private Equity portfolios
A key issue in Diligence is potential of any Target being CAPEX starved during down times
Valuation separation of those with IP in their operations and those that commoditised
Deal quality, in particular assets that have seen the market a number of times before
Aggressive assumptions on future performance being used as the basis of valuation in
a still fragile global economy and US Presidency that needs to get agenda delivered
Increasing commercial competition as new entrants acquire cheap equipment in what
is still a flooded market and attempt to carve out a market segment for themselves
Retention of deal teams post any transaction should lead to ongoing preference for
structured transactions. Legal relief in any emerging economy non existent – so
protection needs to be built into the contract (in particular dealing with flight risk)
Specialist Services players including marine services, oilfield services, pipeline services
and electrical engineering will be attractive as boutique offerings into emerging Asian
markets. Established PE players already have significant portfolios in such sub sectors
and are anticipated to be active
Diligence challenges should not be underestimated, and thorough preparation to
engage in the commercial negotiation is critically important.

Confidence is returning to the sector

is likely held back as assets are put on sale)
Profitability will lead to emphasis on
