TSI is a specialist price information service
• Impartial organisation focused on compiling prices for ferrous metal products
• Founded in in 2006 as subsidiary of the Steel Business Briefing (SBB) Group, acquired by
Platts in July 2011
• Continues to operate under TSI brand as a separate unit within Platts, part of S&P Global
• Data-driven methodology using transaction data to calculate volume-weighted price
indices
• TSI “Data Providers” submit spot transaction data to TSI under confidentiality agreement;
physical market participants only (over 650 registered today)
• Submission direct to TSI database through secure on-line channel
• Data normalised and “cleaned”, minimising opportunities for manipulation/data bias
• Volume-weighted averages calculated for the day or week based on actual spot market
transaction data
The Steel Index (TSI)
The Steel Index (TSI)
TSI pioneered a methodology which uses actual
spot transaction data to produce price indexes
for use by the ferrous market
European HRC and plate steel indices
referenced in supply contracts. ASEAN steel
benchmark referenced in floating priced deals
62% iron ore index is used by numerous
exchanges to settle the overwhelming majority
of all global iron ore derivatives trade
Scrap indices are used as the basis of
settlement for futures and swaps contracts on
LME, LCH.Clearnet, CME Group and Borsa
Istanbul
Our FOB Australia Premium coking coal price is
entered into the majority of all index-linked
supply contracts between producers and

Key Principles
To maximise industry participation and the accuracy of data submitted
To minimise opportunities for manipulation or subjectivity in the compilation of
each index
To apply a consistent approach: TSI uses the same approach for compiling all its
iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal reference prices worldwide:
• legal agreements with relevant Data Providers active in the physical market
• secure confidential on-line data collection of actual transactions
• prices normalised to reference product specifications
• data ‘cleaned’ with outliers excluded
• volume-weighted averages calculated and published
Methodology
TSI “Data Providers” submit spot
transaction data to TSI under
confidentiality agreement
Physical market participants only (over
650 registered)
Representatives from all relevant points of
the supply chain, buy and sell sides

Introduction
• Companies are exposed to a range of ‘economic’ risks over
which they have no direct control
– interest rates, foreign exchange, commodity prices, ...
• Companies are rewarded for reducing their exposure to these
types of risk
– valuations
– improved access to capital / lower cost of capital
• Well-established financial tools (futures contracts and
derivatives) have existed for many years to manage most of
these risks, but until recently not to manage steel, ferrous
scrap, iron ore or coking coal price exposure

Managing Price Risk – The Challenges!
• Price volatility and future price uncertainty is detrimental to all
companies participating in the supply chain in many ways:
– commercial negotiations
– supplier/customer relationships
– investment and project planning
– production planning
– raising finance, cost of capital
• Steel industry consolidation and upstream integration will not
remove price volatility or uncertainty (in the foreseeable future)
Managing Price Risk – Historical Approaches
• Historically companies have looked to manage steel price risk
in various ways:
− entering into long-term fixed price contracts
− breaking long-term fixed price contracts
− integrating upstream and downstream
− branding products
− adjusting inventories
− scheduling production downtime/maintenance
• Many companies are finding that these strategies/tactics
are not sufficient to meet the challenges of today’s pricing
environment and are looking to new approaches
Managing Price Risk - Developments
• Availability of spot price indices for steel, iron ore and scrap
– produced with robust, verifiable methodologies
– timely, reliable
– reflect transactions from all participants in supply chain
• Collapse of iron ore fixed price mechanism
– 40 year-old system
– annual contract price
• Adoption of index-linked price contracts
• Emergence of financial tools
– OTC swaps, options and futures
– iron ore, ferrous scrap, long products and flat products
Agenda

- Methodology: How an Index is Compiled
- The Role of Price Indices and How They Are Used
- Physical Market Price Discovery
- Index-Linked Pricing
- Settlement of Financial Contracts
- Ferrous Financial Contracts Available
Role of Price Indices: Price Discovery
• The role of a spot price index is to provide:
− clarity and confidence in spot market prices
− a firm foundation for index-linked floating price
arrangements for physical trades
− the settlement prices for Over-the-Counter (OTC)
financially-settled contracts and futures, trusted by the
physical market and financial community, providing the
industry with effective price risk management tools
Role of Price Indices
• Index providers (price reporting agencies) are objective observers of the market,
responding to the rising need for a clear, accountable and transparent approach to
price discovery
• The quality of an index depends on the strength of its methodology and the quantity of
data it receives
An Index Providers Responsibilities…
Implement a robust, transparent and
consistent methodology
Encourage market participants to
submit accurate, timely data
consistently
Put in place checks and balances
Be impartial and objective
Publish indices that are representative
of the spot market
An Index Provider Cannot…
Control the size of the underlying spot
market
Compel companies to contribute their
transaction information
Compel any company to use their index
to benchmark contracts
Role of Price Indices
 Price indices are now
widely used in both the
physical and financial
markets
 Trades in the physical
market feed into price
indices
 Indices are used as the
basis for physical
contracts and to settle
futures and derivatives.
Using the same index for
both eliminates basis risk.

- Ferrous Financial Contracts Available
Role of Price Indices: Index-Linked Pricing
• Index-linked pricing arrangements typically involve:
− agreeing long-term supply volumes
− agreeing basis product prices will be determined by a
published spot price index for a given reference product
− agreeing premium/discounts for the specific material to be
supplied, compared to the ‘basis’ reference product
• Iron ore contract supply agreements since April 2010 have
moved almost entirely to index-linked price arrangements, not
only in China but around the world
• Steel contracts are following this trend. The US has led the way
in the use of steel index-linked pricing, but this is becoming
increasingly widely adopted in Europe and Asia.
Role of Price Indices : Index-Linked Pricing
• Index-linked pricing arrangements can be structured in a variety of
different ways to fit the purposes of buyers and sellers
• Different approaches for the index basis:
− ‘direct’ index, e.g. HRC for HRC (single or a basket of indices)
− ‘indirect’ index, e.g. scrap for billet (single or basket of indices)
− combination of ‘direct and indirect’ indices
− etc.
• Different approaches for time periods:
− index average over a quarter (preceding or current, or lagged by
a month)
− index average over a month (preceding or current)
− index average over preceding rolling 15 days, or 5 days, etc.

Indexing and Hedging – Direct Indexing
Trading firms view logistics, storage and other transformations as their core businesses, and so do not
have an advantage in bearing price risk
Secondary benefits therefore arise from price indexing – as having secured a price acceptable to both
parties, focus can shift to other areas of the customer-client relationship

Index Linked Pricing: Users
Physical market users include steel mills, miners, scrap yards, traders, distributors,
service centres, steel processors and steel consumers
Physical market players use TSI prices in a variety of ways, including:
- for reference in price negotiations
- to track performance against the market
- for benchmarking
- as escalators and in clauses within supply/purchase contracts, triggering a
price adjustment or renegotiation if the index moves by more than a defined
amount
- to identify opportunities to take trading positions
- in index-linked pricing arrangements
- for hedging physical price exposure (locking in future revenues, costs or
margins)
- for speculation (traders)
Financial market users include brokers, banks and exchanges
Index-Linked Pricing: Benefits & Implications
• Removes need for protracted negotiations to agree annual
fixed price each year
− difficult when market prices are volatile and unpredictable
− price indexing can be equable to both sides
• Enhances supplier/customer relationships
− focuses commercial discussions on specific premiums for value-
added products or services, not where the price cycle will be in the
future
− removes feeling of ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ as spot market prices
move during the period of supply (a key cause of tension between
suppliers and customers)
• But leaves both sides exposed to floating price market
volatility
Financial Price Risk Management Tools
• Is there a way to smooth the impact of the ‘floating price’ volatility?
Yes!
• Use financial price risk management tools
(swaps, futures, etc.) in parallel with the
index-linked physical pricing
arrangements
• This is known as ‘hedging’
• Using the same index for both the
physical index-linked price and for the
financial hedging contract enables clients
to mitigate any basis price risk

Financial Price Risk Management Tools
The emergence of financial tools (swaps, futures, etc.) offers companies the
opportunity to hedge iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal price risk
There are 3 key types of financial tools emerging to manage steel, scrap and iron
ore price risk:
− Over-The-Counter (OTC) swaps and other forward contracts
• Bilateral agreements, using brokers (carry counterparty credit risk)
− Cleared OTC swaps, options, etc.
• Bilateral swaps, using brokers, financially cleared through a
clearing house (mitigating bilateral counterparty credit risk)
− Futures contracts
• Traded transparently on exchange and cleared through a clearing
house (mitigating bilateral counterparty credit risk)
Financial Price Risk Management Tools
The emergence of financial tools (swaps, futures, etc.) offers companies the
opportunity to hedge iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal price risk
Swaps, options and futures contracts can either be financially-settled or offer a
delivery option
Financially-settled (“cash-settled”) contracts will mature (close out) when the
contract date is reached (if not closed out before then)
Contracts with a delivery (and sometimes warehouse) option do not have to be
closed out
− by not closing out a position, buyers can choose to take delivery of the
standard physical product at the settlement price (and sellers can choose
to make delivery of the standard physical product) if they do not wish to
close out their position before then
− typically an option of last resort (<1% of trades)
Financial Contracts: Settlement
The emergence of financial tools (swaps, futures, etc.) offers companies the
opportunity to hedge iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal price risk
Financially-settled contracts require robust independent price indices (such as
The Steel Index) to determine the settlement prices
− it is essential that they accurately reflect physical market transactions
(otherwise there is a risk for users of the futures contract that the hedge is
ineffective) and are not open to manipulation
For contracts with a delivery option, the settlement prices are ‘discovered’ in the
financial trading process
− the delivery option ensures price convergence
Indexing and Hedging – Dispelling the Myths!
Indexing does not commoditize products as it allows for preferences to be built
into the index price.
If material produced is considered a value-added product then it can be sold at a
premium fixed value or a percentage to the index value.
Discounts or premiums can be built in to the index price for credit lines, or any
number of commercial terms buyers or sellers value.
Using futures/derivatives contracts as a price risk management tool is not
speculative measure!
On the contrary, it carries a myriad of benefits to users throughout the steel
supply chain. It allows for forward planning, fixed price certainty and (certainty)
of cash flows as well as an efficient allocation of capital resources.

  • 4. TSI is a specialist price information service • Impartial organisation focused on compiling prices for ferrous metal products • Founded in in 2006 as subsidiary of the Steel Business Briefing (SBB) Group, acquired by Platts in July 2011 • Continues to operate under TSI brand as a separate unit within Platts, part of S&P Global • Data-driven methodology using transaction data to calculate volume-weighted price indices • TSI “Data Providers” submit spot transaction data to TSI under confidentiality agreement; physical market participants only (over 650 registered today) • Submission direct to TSI database through secure on-line channel • Data normalised and “cleaned”, minimising opportunities for manipulation/data bias • Volume-weighted averages calculated for the day or week based on actual spot market transaction data The Steel Index (TSI)
  • 5. The Steel Index (TSI) TSI pioneered a methodology which uses actual spot transaction data to produce price indexes for use by the ferrous market European HRC and plate steel indices referenced in supply contracts. ASEAN steel benchmark referenced in floating priced deals 62% iron ore index is used by numerous exchanges to settle the overwhelming majority of all global iron ore derivatives trade Scrap indices are used as the basis of settlement for futures and swaps contracts on LME, LCH.Clearnet, CME Group and Borsa Istanbul Our FOB Australia Premium coking coal price is entered into the majority of all index-linked supply contracts between producers and customers Iron Ore Scrap Steel Coking Coal
  • 6. Key Principles To maximise industry participation and the accuracy of data submitted To minimise opportunities for manipulation or subjectivity in the compilation of each index To apply a consistent approach: TSI uses the same approach for compiling all its iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal reference prices worldwide: • legal agreements with relevant Data Providers active in the physical market • secure confidential on-line data collection of actual transactions • prices normalised to reference product specifications • data ‘cleaned’ with outliers excluded • volume-weighted averages calculated and published
  • 7. Methodology TSI “Data Providers” submit spot transaction data to TSI under confidentiality agreement Physical market participants only (over 650 registered) Representatives from all relevant points of the supply chain, buy and sell sides Submission direct to TSI database through secure on-line channel Data normalised and “cleaned” before volume-weighted averages calculated for the day or week Legal Agreement Submits price data through a secure online system Transaction data sample Prices normalised1 Outliers & high/low excluded 2 Buy/Sell balance3 Volume–weighted averages calculated4 Final data set TSI Prices Published
  • 8. Methodology Trades normalising to MORE and LESS than one standard deviation from the mean are excluded. So too are the unique lowest and highest prices Data set included in index calculation proceeds to volume- weighting stage. Data submissions exhibiting inexplicable trends or inconsistencies are also excluded - - LP + + + 1 Standard Deviation Data Submissions HP - 1 Standard Deviation
  • 9. Introduction • Companies are exposed to a range of ‘economic’ risks over which they have no direct control – interest rates, foreign exchange, commodity prices, ... • Companies are rewarded for reducing their exposure to these types of risk – valuations – improved access to capital / lower cost of capital • Well-established financial tools (futures contracts and derivatives) have existed for many years to manage most of these risks, but until recently not to manage steel, ferrous scrap, iron ore or coking coal price exposure

Regular Cycle Irregular, Volatile Movements Source: TSI
  • 12. Managing Price Risk – The Challenges! • Price volatility and future price uncertainty is detrimental to all companies participating in the supply chain in many ways: – commercial negotiations – supplier/customer relationships – investment and project planning – production planning – raising finance, cost of capital • Steel industry consolidation and upstream integration will not remove price volatility or uncertainty (in the foreseeable future)
  • 13. Managing Price Risk – Historical Approaches • Historically companies have looked to manage steel price risk in various ways: − entering into long-term fixed price contracts − breaking long-term fixed price contracts − integrating upstream and downstream − branding products − adjusting inventories − scheduling production downtime/maintenance • Many companies are finding that these strategies/tactics are not sufficient to meet the challenges of today’s pricing environment and are looking to new approaches
  • 14. Managing Price Risk - Developments • Availability of spot price indices for steel, iron ore and scrap – produced with robust, verifiable methodologies – timely, reliable – reflect transactions from all participants in supply chain • Collapse of iron ore fixed price mechanism – 40 year-old system – annual contract price • Adoption of index-linked price contracts • Emergence of financial tools – OTC swaps, options and futures – iron ore, ferrous scrap, long products and flat products

  • 16. Role of Price Indices: Price Discovery • The role of a spot price index is to provide: − clarity and confidence in spot market prices − a firm foundation for index-linked floating price arrangements for physical trades − the settlement prices for Over-the-Counter (OTC) financially-settled contracts and futures, trusted by the physical market and financial community, providing the industry with effective price risk management tools
  • 17. Role of Price Indices • Index providers (price reporting agencies) are objective observers of the market, responding to the rising need for a clear, accountable and transparent approach to price discovery • The quality of an index depends on the strength of its methodology and the quantity of data it receives An Index Providers Responsibilities… Implement a robust, transparent and consistent methodology Encourage market participants to submit accurate, timely data consistently Put in place checks and balances Be impartial and objective Publish indices that are representative of the spot market An Index Provider Cannot… Control the size of the underlying spot market Compel companies to contribute their transaction information Compel any company to use their index to benchmark contracts
  • 18. Role of Price Indices  Price indices are now widely used in both the physical and financial markets  Trades in the physical market feed into price indices  Indices are used as the basis for physical contracts and to settle futures and derivatives. Using the same index for both eliminates basis risk. TSI Physical spot trades Settlement of futures and derivatives Index-linked pricing in physical contracts

  • 20. Role of Price Indices: Index-Linked Pricing • Index-linked pricing arrangements typically involve: − agreeing long-term supply volumes − agreeing basis product prices will be determined by a published spot price index for a given reference product − agreeing premium/discounts for the specific material to be supplied, compared to the ‘basis’ reference product • Iron ore contract supply agreements since April 2010 have moved almost entirely to index-linked price arrangements, not only in China but around the world • Steel contracts are following this trend. The US has led the way in the use of steel index-linked pricing, but this is becoming increasingly widely adopted in Europe and Asia.
  • 21. Role of Price Indices : Index-Linked Pricing • Index-linked pricing arrangements can be structured in a variety of different ways to fit the purposes of buyers and sellers • Different approaches for the index basis: − ‘direct’ index, e.g. HRC for HRC (single or a basket of indices) − ‘indirect’ index, e.g. scrap for billet (single or basket of indices) − combination of ‘direct and indirect’ indices − etc. • Different approaches for time periods: − index average over a quarter (preceding or current, or lagged by a month) − index average over a month (preceding or current) − index average over preceding rolling 15 days, or 5 days, etc.

  • 30. Indexing and Hedging – Direct Indexing Trading firms view logistics, storage and other transformations as their core businesses, and so do not have an advantage in bearing price risk Secondary benefits therefore arise from price indexing – as having secured a price acceptable to both parties, focus can shift to other areas of the customer-client relationship Price Quality JIT delivery Credit Lines Single Invoicing Point Consistency of Material Spot Trade Service Quality JIT delivery Credit Lines Single Invoicing Point Consistency of Material Indexed Trade
  • 31. Index Linked Pricing: Users Physical market users include steel mills, miners, scrap yards, traders, distributors, service centres, steel processors and steel consumers Physical market players use TSI prices in a variety of ways, including: - for reference in price negotiations - to track performance against the market - for benchmarking - as escalators and in clauses within supply/purchase contracts, triggering a price adjustment or renegotiation if the index moves by more than a defined amount - to identify opportunities to take trading positions - in index-linked pricing arrangements - for hedging physical price exposure (locking in future revenues, costs or margins) - for speculation (traders) Financial market users include brokers, banks and exchanges
  • 32. Index-Linked Pricing: Benefits & Implications • Removes need for protracted negotiations to agree annual fixed price each year − difficult when market prices are volatile and unpredictable − price indexing can be equable to both sides • Enhances supplier/customer relationships − focuses commercial discussions on specific premiums for value- added products or services, not where the price cycle will be in the future − removes feeling of ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ as spot market prices move during the period of supply (a key cause of tension between suppliers and customers) • But leaves both sides exposed to floating price market volatility
  • 33. Financial Price Risk Management Tools • Is there a way to smooth the impact of the ‘floating price’ volatility? Yes! • Use financial price risk management tools (swaps, futures, etc.) in parallel with the index-linked physical pricing arrangements • This is known as ‘hedging’ • Using the same index for both the physical index-linked price and for the financial hedging contract enables clients to mitigate any basis price risk

  • 35. Financial Price Risk Management Tools The emergence of financial tools (swaps, futures, etc.) offers companies the opportunity to hedge iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal price risk There are 3 key types of financial tools emerging to manage steel, scrap and iron ore price risk: − Over-The-Counter (OTC) swaps and other forward contracts • Bilateral agreements, using brokers (carry counterparty credit risk) − Cleared OTC swaps, options, etc. • Bilateral swaps, using brokers, financially cleared through a clearing house (mitigating bilateral counterparty credit risk) − Futures contracts • Traded transparently on exchange and cleared through a clearing house (mitigating bilateral counterparty credit risk)
  • 36. Financial Price Risk Management Tools The emergence of financial tools (swaps, futures, etc.) offers companies the opportunity to hedge iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal price risk Swaps, options and futures contracts can either be financially-settled or offer a delivery option Financially-settled (“cash-settled”) contracts will mature (close out) when the contract date is reached (if not closed out before then) Contracts with a delivery (and sometimes warehouse) option do not have to be closed out − by not closing out a position, buyers can choose to take delivery of the standard physical product at the settlement price (and sellers can choose to make delivery of the standard physical product) if they do not wish to close out their position before then − typically an option of last resort (<1% of trades)
  • 37. Financial Contracts: Settlement The emergence of financial tools (swaps, futures, etc.) offers companies the opportunity to hedge iron ore, steel, scrap and coking coal price risk Financially-settled contracts require robust independent price indices (such as The Steel Index) to determine the settlement prices − it is essential that they accurately reflect physical market transactions (otherwise there is a risk for users of the futures contract that the hedge is ineffective) and are not open to manipulation For contracts with a delivery option, the settlement prices are ‘discovered’ in the financial trading process − the delivery option ensures price convergence
  • 38. Indexing and Hedging – Dispelling the Myths! Indexing does not commoditize products as it allows for preferences to be built into the index price. If material produced is considered a value-added product then it can be sold at a premium fixed value or a percentage to the index value. Discounts or premiums can be built in to the index price for credit lines, or any number of commercial terms buyers or sellers value. Using futures/derivatives contracts as a price risk management tool is not speculative measure! On the contrary, it carries a myriad of benefits to users throughout the steel supply chain. It allows for forward planning, fixed price certainty and (certainty) of cash flows as well as an efficient allocation of capital resources.
