Recovering markets (Leighton, WorleyParsons, Boart Longyear) Growth in the Australian resources sector (Leighton, WorleyParsons, UGL, Downer, Transfield Services, Boart Longyear) Growth in Australian infrastructure revenues (Leighton, UGL) Growth in offshore markets (Leighton, WorleyParsons, UGL, Boart Longyear).

However while the companies delivered very strong organic revenue growth driven by growth in the resources market and a recovery in markets, we note the companies are expecting future growth to be mainly driven by growth and entry into new markets. These new markets are:
# #
Asian markets for Leighton Developing markets (i.e. South Africa, China) and unconventional oil & gas for WorleyParsons The Australian structural, mechanical and piping market for Downer Defence and global commercial real estate for UGL Energy and coal seam gas markets for Transfield Services
# # #
In our view, the companies are targeting new markets because the growth in their existing markets is slowing. We believe this is due to the entry of new competitors (both offshore and domestic) and difficulties in increasing market share. While we do not disagree with the expansion strategy and think the expansion into new markets should allow the companies to keep delivering EPS growth, we think the rate of future growth will be slower than historic levels.

In our view the low margins have also been caused by a number of changes in the industry. These include:

Higher costs associated with entry into new markets Shift to less alliance work, thereby requiring more detailed tenders Additional training costs required for lower skilled employees

a) Higher costs associated with entry into new markets In the last section we noted that companies have articulated growth strategies into new markets. In our view margins will be negatively impacted as the companies incur a higher level of business development costs to build their presence and require a greater investment in systems to oversee a wider span of control. b) Shift to less alliance work, thereby requiring more detailed tenders We have witnessed a shift in the industry away from alliance work. While not all companies have disclosed how much alliance work represents of their total WIH, we believe UGL and Transfields declining levels of alliance work is representative of the sector. Figure 14: UGL orderbook vs alliance work

In our view a lower level of alliance work will mean more costs being incurred because a contract under the traditional structure requires more detailed costing and project information than under an alliance structure. While we do expect the level of alliance work to remain at low levels, we see the growing prevalence of framework agreements partially offsetting the negative impacts from less alliance work. Figure 16: Recent framework agreements

c) Additional training costs required for lower skilled employees The companies averaged 11% headcount growth in the 6 months to Dec 11. We were surprised by the headcount growth given the known tightness in the Australian resources employment market. We believe the headcount growth was primarily achieved through immigration or headcount growth in offshore markets. We believe this will lead to higher labour costs due to additional training costs and reduced productivity associated with lower skilled employees. Figure 17: Headcount

We expect future margins to expand slightly as legacy contracts roll-off, markets recover and framework agreements minimize future bidding costs. However these positive factors will be partially offset by higher costs associated with entry into new markets, an industry shift to less alliance work, increased training costs and lower productivity levels. Figure 18: Future margin drivers
Positive impacts Framework agreements Recovering markets Roll off of legacy contracts

Negative impacts Higher costs associated with entering into new markets Industry shift to less alliance work Increased training costs and lower productivity levels
Therefore while we expect margins to increase, we do not believe they will reach the peak levels achieved in 2007-08.

Guidance statements
All June year end companies confirmed their guidance statements. While the guidance statements do imply a second half weighting, our analysis shows the skew is generally in line with historic levels. The one exception is Transfield Services, with its implied 2H12 NPAT being higher than the companys historic 2H skew levels. While the company did report a higher 2H skew in FY11, we note in that period the company benefited from a windfarm sale. Hence we believe there are risks of Transfield Services not achieving its guidance. Figure 28: LEI 1H vs 2H NPAT

Boart Longyear has a December year end. For 2012 the company has guided to revenues of ~US$2.3bn and EBITDA of ~US$460m. This implies 8% revenue growth and 20% EBITDA growth from the annualized 2H11 numbers. We think this is achievable given the run rate delivered in the 2H11 period (11% revenue growth and 16% EBITDA growth) and better pricing to flow into CY12. While our analysis suggests a guidance update is typically given in April and May, we believe that no update will be given in this financial year as the companys new IT system allows for quicker processing times and access to information.

WorleyParsons
Valuation Our valuation for Worley Parsons uses an average of DCF, sum-of-the-parts and PE valuation methodologies. Our DCF valuation uses a WACC of 11.26% (beta 1.15, coe 13.15%, target debt/equity 25%, risk-free rate 6.25%, terminal growth rate 3.5% - the terminal value growth rate is based on nominal global GDP forecasts. Our SOTP based methodology applies comparable peer EV/EBIT multiples to each business segment (Hydrocarbons 13.2x, Power 10.2x, Minerals & Metals 9.4x, Infrastructure 10.3x). For our PE valuation, we have applied our 12 months forward EPS estimate to the market multiple of the ASX Industrials (ex banks), and adjusted that for the company's historical premium relative to the market. Risks We see the following upside risks to our investment thesis: 1) Stronger recovery in the O&G sector. 2) Acquisitions. 3) Strong growth in the Minerals & Metals division. We see the following downside risks to our investment thesis: 1) Slower recovery in the O&G sector. 2) Increasing levels of competition. 3) Capacity constraints. 4) FX risk.
UGL
Valuation Our 12-month target price is derived from the average of our DCF valuation, SOTP and PE valuations. Our DCF valuation uses a WACC of 11.33% which assumes a beta of 1.1, CoE of 12.85%, risk free rate of 6.25% (assumed long term govt bond rate) and target D/EV of 20%. We forecast explicit cashflows to 2020 and then use a terminal growth value of 3.5% (the terminal value growth rate is based on our nominal global GDP estimates. Our sum-of-the-parts multiples based valuation applies FY12E EV/EBIT multiples to each of UGL's divisions: Infrastructure 8.5x, Rail 7.5x, Resources 7.0x and Services 10.5x. In deriving our P/E based valuation we have applied our 12 months

forward EPS estimate to the market multiple of the ASX Industrials (ex banks). This is in line with the companys long run historical average PE rel. Risks Downside risks include: 1) Increased competition and ongoing weakness in the rail division. 2) Inability to renew infrastructure pipeline as contracts roll-off. 3) A slowdown in the US commercial real estate market caused by economic uncertainty. 4) Inability to reduce overhead costs in DTZ.
Downer EDI
Valuation Our 12-month target price is based on the average of our DCF valuation, sum-of-theparts multiples-based valuation and FY12E P/E valuation. Our DCF valuation uses a WACC of 13.2%, which assumes a beta of 1.1, CoE of 15.05%, risk free rate of 6.25% (assumed long-term govt bond rate) and target D/EV of 20%. We forecast explicit cash flows to FY14, followed by a 10-year horizon period where cash flow growth fades from 4% to our long-term terminal value growth rate of 3%. The terminal value growth rate is based largely on our nominal GDP estimates. Our sum-of-the-parts multiples based valuation applies peer-group FY12E EV/EBIT multiples to each of Downer's divisions: Downer Australia 7x, Downer New Zealand 5x, Mining 7x and Rail 6x. Our P/E-based valuation is derived from applying a 20% discount to the 12 month forward market multiple (ASX Industrials ex banks), to reflect the company's lower growth profile and potential for greater volatility in earnings compared to the market. Risks Upside risks include: 1) Better-than-expected delivery of the Waratah trains contract. 2) Achievement of cost-out initiatives. Downside risks include: 1) Weakness in Downer Australia & Downer New Zealand divisions. 2) Cost overruns & project specific issues. 3) Issues with delivery of the Waratah trains maintenance contract. 4) Deferral of State Govt project expenditure.
Transfield Services
Valuation Our target price for Transfield Services is the average of our DCF and sum-of-the-parts multiple based valuation methodologies. Our DCF valuation uses a WACC of 11.47% (beta 1.1, CoE 12.85%, target D/EV 20%, risk free rate 6.25% (assumed long-term govt. bond rate), terminal growth rate 3.5%). Our terminal growth is based on nominal GDP estimates. Our SOTP valuation uses applicable EV/EBITDA multiples for each of the company's business segments: Aus/NZ 6x, Easternwell 6x, Americas 6.5x and Middle East & Asia 5x. Our P/E based valuation is derived from applying our 12 month forward EPS estimate to the company's long run historical average PE relative to the ASX industrials (ex banks). Risks We see the following upside risks to our investment thesis: 1) Acquisitions. 2) Increased outsourcing of Government maintenance services. 3) Cost reduction initiatives. We see the following downside risks to our investment thesis: 1) A slowdown in resource capex or maintenance spend. 2) Failure to properly assess and manage project risks. 3) Deterioration in market conditions.

Boart Longyear
Valuation Our target price is derived from an earnings based sum-of-the-parts valuation as we believe this methodology best reflects the cyclical nature of the company. We crosscheck our sum-of-the-parts valuation with DCF and P/E relative to the market valuations. Our SOTP valuation uses comparable peer FY12e EV/EBITDA multiples for each division: Drilling Services 5.3x and Products 5.8x. Our multiple for the Drilling Services division has been adjusted for: (1) a 10% premium to reflect the company's larger scale and greater breadth of service offerings, and (2) a 15% discount for uncertainty and low visibility. Our multiple for the Products division has been adjusted for: (1) a 20% discount for less diversified operations, and (2) a 15% discount for uncertainty and low visibility. We translate our US dollar SOTP valuation at the current spot rate to derive an AUD valuation. Risks Key downside risks to our investment thesis include: 1) Falling commodity prices-key commodity exposures are to Gold (40% of rev) and copper (21% of rev). 2) Labour shortages. 3) Rising raw material costs-steel used in constructing drill rigs. 4) Adverse weather conditions. 5) Competitors gaining market share. 6) Junior miners unable to raise capital.

As a result of Deutsche Banks March 2010 acquisition of BHF-Bank AG, a security may be covered by more than one analyst within the Deutsche Bank group. Each of these analysts may use differing methodologies to value the security; as a result, the recommendations may differ and the price targets and estimates of each may vary widely. In August 2009, Deutsche Bank instituted a new policy whereby analysts may choose not to set or maintain a target price of certain issuers under coverage with a Hold rating. In particular, this will typically occur for "Hold" rated stocks having a market cap smaller than most other companies in its sector or region. We believe that such policy will allow us to make best use of our resources. Please visit our website at http://gm.db.com to determine the target price of any stock.
