ADR BUY The ADR is expected to appreciate approximately 12% over the next 6–12 months as the 19%
fundamental upside is offset by 6 percentage point’s downside attributable purely to the anticipated
depreciation of the Euro against the US dollar and 1 percentage point downside attributable to the
reduction of current premium over the same period1.
Ticker: REP
Target price: US$40.98
Current price: US$36.66
We reiterate the ADR (1 ADR = 1 common share) a BUY with a 6–12 month target price of US$40.75.

Report summary
Repsol YPF (Repsol) reported a robust increase in its top-line during 1Q 08 driven by strong
performances across all of its business segments. Although its operating margin was impacted by a
rise in input costs, its net margin improved with a decline in the effective tax rate given the divestment
of its YPF segment. Going forward, we are confident of an expansion in the company’s production
volumes given the company’s extensive capital expenditure plans coupled with the onset of drilling at
its recently discovered field in Carioca. An expansion in production capacity coupled with our
anticipated increase in crude oil and gas prices in the short to medium term will benefit the company’s
top-line over our investment horizon. However, rising prices for oil are likely to increase input costs
within its Downstream segment, pressuring Repsol’s margins. However, based on our fundamental
outlook and current price levels, we view Repsol’s common stock as an attractive buying opportunity.

Currency impact for US investors


By itself, the impact of the anticipated currency movements on the ADR (now US$36.66), without
considering changes in the share price, is broadly negative and is expected to be:

Over 6 months: US$39.04


Over 12 months: US$34.86
