Chapter 4, Problem 25PS

DCF and free cash flow Permian Partners (PP) produces from aging oil fields in west Texas. Production is 1.8 million barrels per year in 2016, but production is declining at 7% per year for the foreseeable future. Costs of production, transportation, and administration add up to $25 per barrel. The average oil price was $65 per barrel in 2016.

PP has 7 million shares outstanding. The cost of capital is 9%. All of PP’s net income is distributed as dividends. For simplicity, assume that the company will stay in business forever and that costs per barrel are constant at $25. Also, ignore taxes.

  1. a. What is the ending 2016 value of one PP share? Assume that oil prices are expected to fall to $60 per barrel in 2017, $55 per barrel in 2018, and $50 per barrel in 2019. After 2019, assume a long-term trend of oil-price increases at 5% per year.
  2. b. What is PP’s EPS/P ratio and why is it not equal to the 9% cost of capital?
