Event
¦ We spoke to PSN competitors to better understand current tank market.
Implications
¦ Pricing could be lower than our previous expectations. Pinning
down a day rate across different tank sizes, quality, geographies, lease
durations, and product offerings (i.e., single tank vs. an integrated well
site solution) was and will likely continue to be a humbling experience.
We have reduced our 2013 consolidated day rate to $1,400 (from
$1,817) but acknowledge actual rates may vary significantly due to
lower competitor pricing or superior integrated service (higher pricing).
¦ Using our revised day rate assumption our 2013 EBITDA reduced
to $93M (down 27%). A sensitivity analysis is provided in Exhibit 2.
¦ Dividend sustainability also hinges on collection of A/Rs. Besides
CFFO uncertainty (given pricing uncertainty), collectability of existing
and future receivables is essential to maintaining PSN's dividend. Under
our revised assumptions, we are of the view that the current cash
dividend (not including DRIP) might not be sustainable. Further writedowns
of A/Rs would strengthen our view.
Recommendation
¦ Our PT reduces to $5 (from $11) on lower estimates but also on
compression of our target multiple (given our more cautious stance on
A/Rs and potentially saturated tank markets). We upgrade PSN to 2-SP
as we expect the stock to be range-bound through 2012FY results. Of
note, our 1-year ROR of 53% is based on PSN`s current dividend.

Lowering Our Estimates as Competition Could Put Pressure on Pricing
¦ Day rates vary significantly. We dialogued with a handful of tank providers in the WCSB,
North Dakota, Marcellus, and Rockies. Some have recently started to bid for work outside of
these markets, including the Eagle Ford. It is difficult to obtain apples-to-apples price
comparisons across different tank sizes, quality, geographies, lease durations, and product
offerings. Below are some generalizations from our discussions:
1. Canada and northern U.S. markets appear saturated. Most of our contacts have
not expressed incremental E&P demand to pursue further expansion of their tank
fleets; most view expansion cautiously. Capacity to continue to add tanks appears to
be readily available.
2. Some producers are electing to directly purchase tanks, bypassing the rental model.
3. Day rates could be correlated to level of service. While the swimming pool tank
itself is arguably (now) a commodity, some rental companies vary the way the tank is
offered. Stand-alone tanks appear to earn a lower day rate while a tank packaged as
part of a well-site integrated service offering (including drilling, completions, and/or
fluid handling) can earn a higher equivalent day rate for the value-added-service.
¦ As a recap, Poseidon missed Q3 results. While management noted some added competitive
pressures, lower utilization (particularly in the Bakken and Rockies) was the key factor
driving pricing lower in the quarter.
¦ Looking forward, we believe Poseidon's tank pricing could trend lower. As such, we
have taken a more cautious stance on our estimates, reducing 2013 day rates to $1,400 (from
$1,817). Given the humbling experience of recent Q3 results, we note that our confidence in
our estimates is not high but we feel the revised day rate is more appropriate, given our
discussion with Poseidon's competitors. In Exhibit 2, we include our 2013E EBITDA
sensitivity to consolidated day rates and operating time. In Exhibit 3, we provide a summary
of our revised forecast.
¦ We are concerned the dividend may not be sustainable. We currently forecast 2013E cash
flow of $85 million, cash dividends of $88 million (excluding DRIP), and a capital program
of $20 million, resulting in a cash flow deficit of roughly $23 million. In our view, the
collectability of existing and future accounts receivables remains a key swing factor.
Assuming the company collects half its $126 million in accounts receivables by 2012YE,
Poseidon could theoretically pay off its $56 million line. This would leave enough financial
flexibility to maintain the dividend. On the flip side, should we continue to see a high rate of
funds from operations being absorbed by accounts receivables (i.e., 74% of funds were
allotted to changes in non-cash working capital through the first 9 months of 2012), this
implies a dividend cut could be imminent. For context, consider that Poseidon has $44
million of undrawn lines as of Q3/12. This is the equivalent of approximately two quarters of
cash dividends (i.e., $22M/quarter), of which Q4/12 has been declared. Given the
uncertainly, we model flat A/Rs which is a middle of the road assumption, in our view.
