Disclosures Appendix 41
We now expect a sharp increase in international contract
prices for iron ore (+80%) and coking coal (+60%). With the
largest exposure to the mining segment, Mechel and Evraz
are our preferred plays in the sector.

Preferred exposure: Mechel and Evraz. Among major Russian steel
holdings, Mechel and Evraz offer the largest exposure to the mining
segment, with its share in the groups’ 2010F EBITDA at 56% and 35%,
respectively. Mechel is well positioned to benefit from a long position in
coking coal. Evraz enjoys the highest level of vertical integration in the
Russian peer group, while control over 40% of Raspadskaya provides
exposure to the coking coal market.
Upgrade for bulk commodities. We revise upwards our assumptions
for bulk commodities, and we now assume an 80% increase in April 2010-
March 2011 contract prices for iron ore and a 60% increase for coking coal.
15% valuation discount. Sector wise, Russian steel producers trade at
c.15% discount to emerging markets peers based on 2011F EV/EBITDA
multiples, providing modest upside for the sector. According to our estimates,
Russian steel companies trade at an average 2011F EV/EBITDA of 5.6x,
compared with the average for emerging market peers of 6.6x.
Increase in earnings forecast and target prices. We raise our earnings
forecasts for Russian steel producers on the back of updated steel and raw
material price assumptions, with EBITDA forecasts for 2010F going up on
average by 19%. We revise upwards our target prices for Russian steel
companies and reiterate our BUY recommendations on Mechel and Evraz.
