    Focusing on Strong Operational Drivers as Uncertainty Fades

    The settlement of Vales multi-billion tax dispute is a major milestone. We are,therefore, updating our TP to R$49/share (from R$54/share) to reflect not only thisupdated liability, but also the strengthening of Vales balance sheet after VLI andNorsk Hydro asset sales. Furthermore, despite previous concerns regarding thedeceleration of the Chinese market, the iron ore market surpassed expectations and dailyChinese output has remained at an elevated level. Consequently, iron ore prices sustainedan average of US$135/t for 2013 (our estimate was US$122/t) thus leading us to calibratethe curve to reflect the upward shift. Lastly, Vale did an outstanding job in trimmingcosts in a sustainable way and it is adhering to a conservative capex approach(justifying the incorporation of the strategies into our models). Given the clearer

    skies ahead and Vales above-average multiple discount versus its global peers, weare currently more positive about the company and keeping our Outperform rating.

    Iron ore inventories at Chinese ports are increasing, but still below the level that ledto the price collapse in Aug. 2012. The price scenario remains favorable as the winterusually curbs Chinese production (year-end) and imports accelerate. Meanwhile, dailyChinese steel output remains above 2mn tons per day while rebar prices recently tradedabove US$585/t (an eight-month high) supported by a low inventory level (three-year low).Our iron ore price forecast for 2014 was updated to US$120/t from US$110/t.

    Vale announced its capex plan for 2014 (US$14.8bn), which was the thirdconsecutive decrease of its annual budget. The company expects to deploy US$9.8bnto develop projects, with an intense focus on major projects, such as: Carajas (35%),Moatize/Nacala (28%), Itabiritos (11.5%), a distribution network (5%) and Salobo II (4%).

    Meanwhile, sustaining capex was further reduced to US$4.5bn (from US$4.8bn) and thereis room for a further contraction of US$107mn (a non-recurrent ERP implementation cost).

    Settling the tax liability was an important achievement and the decision removed amajor source of uncertainty. The substantial discount (axing 50% from R$45bn, equalingR$22.3bn) was a positive surprise, and translates into a NPV liability of R$14.4bn (aboveour previous provision of R$7.5bn). Despite the negative impact of the upwardadjustment, we believe this settlement removes a significant burden.

    Vale successfully delivered key projects in 2013, such as Carajas 40, CLN150,Conceicao Itabiritos, Teluk Rubiah (distribution center), Long Harbour and Totten.Despite concluding the works at CLN150, the railway capacity will be limited to 128mtpydue to changes in planning and this will curtail the upside of Carajas 40 for the short term.When Teluk Rubiah starts up in 4Q13, Vale will be able to optimize its logisticsinfrastructure by using Valemax ships and cargo redistribution techniques.

    Overall, Vales current valuation is attractive as favorable operational drivers(resilient iron ore prices and a depreciated BRL) are combining with focused growthprospects. The settlement of its tax liability removes the most important uncertainty, whilethe only remaining non-operational risk is the mining code (and the possible inclusion of aspecial participation tax). Nevertheless, the new mining code should only be votedupon after 2014s elections so this will not have an impact in the short run.

    Iron Ore Market: Healthier Price Outlook and Lower Volatility

    Despite increasing fears of a more accentuated deceleration in Chinese growth,

    iron ore prices are showing an astonishing degree of resilience.Currently trading

    just slightly below US$140/t, the price trajectory has been a positive surprise that is

    surpassing previous expectations for 2013. For instance, our estimate was US$122/t,

    while the actual average has been around US$135/t (11% above the forecast).

    Rebar prices currently lack the support to go above US$585/t as the winter in China

    typically curbs the demand at the end of the year and thus caps prices. Meanwhile,

    rebar inventories held by Chinese traders have reached a three-year low at 5.18mn tons

    (Mysteel data), thus limiting the potential downside. Even though current rebar prices are

    still considerably below last years average (US$628/t), the daily steel output has been

    reasonably strong at above 2.1mn tons per day and the latest data still shows strong

    momentum (Novembers average came in at 2.14mn tons per day).

    Figure 1: Iron Ore Prices vs. Rebar Prices (US$/ton)

    Source: Bloomberg

    Chinese steelmakers remain reluctant to accept higher iron ore prices for imported

    ore (above US$135/t), but it seems inevitable considering the limited domestic iron

    ore production during the winter season. The inventory of iron ore at Chinese ports is

    still rising and reached 87.4mn in the last week of November. Nevertheless, stocks are

    considerably below the 100mn tons seen in September 2012 before the collapse of iron

    ore prices when it traded below US$90/t.

    Figure 2: Iron Ore Price - Volatility

    Source: Bloomberg

    Iron ore price volatility continues to be on a downtrend as the addition of new low

    cash-cost supplies limit the room for price hikes, while cost inflation and

    deterioration of Chinese mines clearly creates a solid floor for prices. We believe

    that this is indeed a favorable scenario, and there is room for further price improvement

    ahead of the Chinese New Year in 2014. At the beginning of December, the Chinese

    government is expected to discuss urbanization plans that could include a new target of a

    60% rate for 2020 (from the current 52%).

    In light of the new developments, we are revisiting our iron ore price curve

    forecast. While we remain skeptical about the supply/demand balance in a scenario

    where there is a more accentuated deceleration in Chinese iron ore demand, we

    believe that this shock will not occur in the near future.Considering the strength of

    the Chinese daily steel output and the iron ore price dynamic in 2013, we are applying an

    upward shift in the iron ore price curve. For instance, we have updated our iron ore price

    for 2014 to US$120/t in this revision (from US$110/t).

    Settlement of Tax Disputes: The End of the Imbroglio

    Vale decided to participate in the federal tax settlement program (REFIS) to pay

    amounts related to Brazilian corporate income tax (IR) and social contributions

    (CSLL) on net income from its foreign subsidiaries for 2003-2012.The total amount

    was estimated at R$45bn,a value composed of the principal of R$17.1bn; R$9.8bn in

    penalties; R$12.0bn of interest and interest on penalties, as well as R$6.1bn in statutory

    fees.Out of the options provided by REFIS, Vale selected to pay the principal taxes

    upfront for 2003, 2004 and 2006, and to pay in installments (principal, penalties and

    interest) for the remaining years 2005 and from 2007 through 2012. This decision

    resulted in an estimated NPV of R$14.425bn and a face value for payments of

    R$22.235bn (including a principal of R$16.286bn, R$1.565bn in penalties, and

    R$4.474bn in interest and interest on penalties). Vale paid ~R$6bn at the end of

    November and now has another ~R$16.4bn to be paid in 179 monthly installments that

    will be adjusted based on the Selic interest rate. The company highlighted that payments

    will be funded by operating cash flow, without requiring any additional debt. It is

    important to highlight that we had a provision of R$7.5bn in our model for this tax

    dispute settlement, and now adjusted it to reflect the current amount of R$14.4bn.

    Furthermore, we emphasize that Vale adequately prepared its balance sheet for

    this kind of settlement after selling VLI (35.9% for R$2.7bn) and its Norsk Hydro

    position (for R$4.2bn).

    New Capex Plan: Further Reduction to US$14.8bn in 2014

    Vales Board of Directors has approved its investment budget for 2014. This was

    reduced for the third time in a row to a total amount of US$14.8bn (versus

    US$15.5bn in 2013e), after peaking at US$18bn in 2011. The company reiterated its

    focus on capital efficiency through the creation of a smaller portfolio of projects with high

    risk-adjusted expected returns.Such a strategy is justified by the fact that more than

    80% of the budget for project execution, which totals R$9.3bn, is dedicated to core

    projects such as expanding the iron ore production and distribution network(Carajs/Itabiritos), developing the integrated mine-plant-railway-port coal

    operations in Mozambique (Moatize/Nacala), and the Salobo copper project.

    Figure 7: Evolution of Capex Breakdown and Project Budget Division

    Source: Company

    The sustaining capex budget was reduced to US$4.5bn for 2014 from US$4.8bn in

    2013, which represents 4.7% of the asset base, lower than the average ratio of 4.9%

    during the last three years. Sustaining capex basically provides funding for five classes

    of initiatives: operations, made up of mainly equipment replacements; building andexpanding waste dumps and tailings dams; health & safety issues; corporate social

    responsibility (CSR); administration and others. There is the potential for a further

    reduction going forward, as the abovementioned total considers a non-recurring

    expense of US$107mn related to an ERP implementation project.

    R&D expenses should remain broadly stable in 2014 compared to the expected

    final standing of 2013 of US$0.9bn. Nevertheless, a reduction in R&D can be

    observed since 2012, especially due to decreasing feasibility studies expenses, a

    downtrend that is a direct result of the companys increased focus on its key

    projects. The budget for 2014 is comprised of US$384mn to be used for mineral

    exploration, US$356mn for feasibility studies, and US$163mn to be invested in

    technological innovation and adaptation.

    Revisiting Supply/Demand Balance: Delaying Oversupply

    Although concerns about the Chinese growth deceleration could have sparked a

    sequence of project cancelations, it appears that such fears are fading away.We

    continue to believe that a substantial amount of projects will reach the market in the

    coming years, although delays have been more significant than previous expectations.

    According to our estimates, supply could grow to 1.6bn tons in 2020 (from the 1.2bn tons

    currently), considering an annual depletion rate of 50mn tons each year. Furthermore, it

    is important to notice that a substantial amount of new projects are located in Brazil or

    Australia, and in either the first or second quartiles of the cash-cost curve.

    Demand growth has been healthy this year, and Chinese iron ore imports

    expanded 10% YoY when comparing the data up until October 2013.The demand

    adjustment related to the rebalancing of the Chinese economy - from investment-driven

    to consumption-driven growth - seems further away and we have therefore postponed the

    demand contraction to 2017-18 (from in 2016 previously). The delay in oversupply

    expectations is behind our upward adjustment of the iron ore price curve (+8% higher on

    average). Indeed, by incorporating the above-mentioned details, even if we accept thatdemand should increase by 100mtpy, this might be insufficient to absorb the supply

    expansion of more than 400mtpy (ex-depletion).

    Pending Disputes: Only the New Mining Code Remains

    After a resolution of the tax dispute, the main pending issue that could impact Vale

    will be the resolution of the new mining code.The Brazilian government prepared a

    first draft of the new rules to be applied in the market that was disclosed and sent to the

    Brazilian Congress in June. This initial version contained the following points that raised

    some worries among market players: i) royalties should increase to 4% from 2% and this

    should be charged on gross instead of net revenues (as is currently done); ii) changes in

    methodology for concessions, with the implementation of an auction process, similar towhat exists in the oil & gas sector; iii) more regulations regarding the development of

    concession (time limit); and iv) inclusion of a special participation tax (between 2% and

    10%) to be charged on top of an EBITDA proxy of highly-profitable mines.

    Figure 12: Mining Codes in Various Countries

    Source: Bradesco Corretora

    Due to some of the aforementioned points, Congressman Leonardo Quinto, the

    projects sponsor in the Brazilian lower house, proposed a friendlier alternativecode that was presented in November.In terms of the main differences, this second

    version excludes the implementation of the auction process, restoring the first-come

    preferentiality, and defines Royalties as a fixed ratio, instead of a variable one. The

    mining code was supposed to be voted upon by Congress on December 10,

    however, since the executive disagreed with the amended points, and an accord

    with the Deputies has not yet been reached, voting on the mining code has been

    delayed. With the elections coming in 2014, we believe it is likely that voting on the

    new mining code will only occur in 2015.

    Caves: Mitigating Risks

    The cave issues have always represented a burden on the Brazilian mining

    industry. Caves were considered to be property of the Union in the 1988 Federal

    Constitution and exploring of any these sites has been restricted ever since. After

    pledges from the mining sector and more than 20 years of unclear legislation, it was

    declared that the caves could be declassified according to their environmental and

    cultural importance, from maximum to high, medium and minimum relevance.Those with

    maximum importance will never be explored by miners, while the others may be

    only explored after compensation is paid.

    Figure 13: Caves Regulation Milestones

    Source: Company and Bradesco Corretora

    This classification process is usually a complicated one as it has to be extended for at

    least a one-year period (both dry and wet seasons have to be considered). Vale has over

    200 caves yet to be classified. The process is usually simpler for new projects and

    S11D represents a successful example. Vale obtained the environmental permit for

    S11D that was already complying with existing cave legislation, and therefore not

    representing an unplanned risk for the project. A total of 137 caves were preserved.

    Base Metals: Copper Time to Reap Rewards

    During 2013, Vale managed to successfully ramp up the Salobo projects phase 1

    and production should reach 69k tons. Furthermore, the second phase is expected

    to start in mid-2014 and should double production when the expansion is

    concluded.Considering Salobos cash cost of US$0.95/lb (first quartile), it assures the

    profitability even with a challenging price outlook. Prices have remained above US$3/lb

    since 2010, thus we believe it is fair to assume that Vale could reach an EBITDA margin

    of between 40% and 50%. Given these assumptions, Vale should generate EBITDA

    of almost US$1bn once the operation is running at its full capacity utilization.

    Valuation: Time to Price Operational Drivers instead of Disputes

    To arrive at our final TP of R$49/share for VALE5 (US$20/share for VALE US), we

    have evenly blended our multiple-based valuation of R$51.40/share with a DCF-

    based valuation that points to a reasonably attractive TP of R$46.90/share. We

    believe the market is exaggerating the current discount between Vale and its comparable

    peers, such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. Vale has historically traded at an averagediscount of 6% to the Australian miners, a number that has been stretched to the current

    value of 22%. Even though Vale struggled for a long time with uncertainties brought up by

    the REFIS and still faces potential risks evolving the new mining code, we acknowledge

    that there is room for this comparable discount to shrink back to normal levels. Combining

    both methodologies, we believe it is fair to reiterate our Outperformrating for Vale.

    Figure 15: Vales Multiple vs. Peers

    Source: Bloomberg

    Although we have assumed a historical multiple of 6.0x, by looking at the current

    stock price we can see that it is trading at below the target multiple. It is worth

    adding that we have adjusted the provision for the tax dispute from the previous

    US$7.5bn, to the project net present value of US$14.4bn. Also, we incorporated the

    impact of the Norsk Hydro sale of R$4.2bn.

    Figure 16: New vs. Old Estimates

    Source: Bradesco Corretora estimates

    Our DCF-based valuation uses a WACC of 11.5% and long-term growth of 6%. We

    are assuming iron ore prices at US$100/t from 2017 onwards.We assume Iron ore

    and pellet capacities should increase to 446mtpy in 2018, and Moatize and Salobo ramp-

    ups should enter primarily in 2015-2016.

The factors Bradeco Corretora considered include, but are not limited to: Anyexpectations in connection w ith quarterly results, market conditions, ow nership issues and any expectations involving mergers and acquisitions.

    The ratings reflect only the analysts expectation on the future performance of the relevant stock. A Outperform rating does not necessarily represent that the analyst approves ofthe company and its management w hilst a Underperform rating does not necessarily means that the analyst has a negative view on the company. Within Bradeco Corretora coverageuniverse there are sound companies, with good fundamentals as per the market consensus, and fair priced stock, and would not be Bradeco Corretora investment pick.
