Product/servicedifferentiation
APL will need to developdifferentiated valuepropositions, to improve
revenues and their bottomlines; by adopting acustomer focussedapproach and build strongbrand equity. It can beachieved by offering non-fuel products and services.Non-fuel products, whichoffer higher marginscompared to petroleumproducts, enable companiesto sustain themselves,
especially during times whenoil prices are high.
Fuel Based Proposition:
APL can sell multiple gradefuels based on the octaneratings, with different pricesat different stations, wherethe customer can hunt for abargain.
Non-Fuel BasedProposition:
To get a larger share of thecustomers' wallet, non-fuelproducts and services arenecessary. Non-fuel revenuescontribute significantly forthe petroleum retailers.

The power of buyersdescribe the effect thatAPL customers have onthe profitability of itsbusiness. Since APL hasmany large as well assmall buyers incl. bulkinstitutions, industries,distributors, dealers,individuals, third partiesetc.
Overall buyers have lesserpower than APL due tofact that direct consumersdo not have many optionsfor their demands.However, APL must becreative in dealing withconsumers, usually byoffering loyalty programsand increasing perceivedvalue.
APL has benefit of offeringproducts that are indemand even in strikes orin adverse conditions,firstly due to itssubstantial distribution &supply chain network &secondly due toavailability of product allthe times because of itsfacilities/terminals in boththe group refineries i.e.

supply decisions lieswithin key suppliers, i.eNRL & ARL. Since both themain suppliers ofpetroleum products to APLlies with same group of

The earnings growth inthe sector shows that PSOwitnessed the highestearnings growth of 235%versus 16.61% for APLand -36.96% for Shell.
PSO had reported a netloss in FY09 due to theliquidity crisis, thus itprofits grewphenomenally in FY10.Although APL witnessedthe highest sales growth,the profitability growth ofAPL was the lowest,indicating inefficiency inmanagement of costs.
Fluctuation ininternational oil prices hasrendered the performanceof Oil MarketingCompanies (OMCs)unpredictable in terms ofproductivity. Sales aredirectly linked with theinternational oil prices,therefore, any increase ordecrease will affect theindustrys performanceaccordingly.

Challenges:
The biggest challenge growth companies face is dealing with the constantrange of issues bidding for more time and money. Effective management is
required and a possible new business plan.
Volatility in International Oil Prices and Regulatory Risk:
Oil prices are directly affected by its global supply and demand. Factors thatinfluence demand and supply include economic conditions, operationalissues, natural disasters, weather, political instability and conflicts or actionsby major oil-exporting countries. In addition to this, OGRA also controls theseprices through implementation and adjustment of levies, duties andsubsidies. Prices are the key drivers of an OMCs profitability. Higher pricestranslate into increased revenues and vice versa. Price fluctuations havedirect impact on Companys development and investment plans. Further,
imposition / enhancement of duties, taxes, other levies and revision in pricingformula of products remain a possibility.
The Company continues to focus on efficient mix of products maintainingsustainability and generating growth. OGRA has demonstrated a strongcommitment and taken a number of steps to deregulate the Oil and Gassector in line with the overall vision of a liberalized economy.
Security Risks:
The entire world in general and Pakistan in particular is facing securitythreats. Deteriorating law and order situation may result in disruption in thesupply chain of the oil industry at any point in time resulting in halting the
economic growth and development.
The OGRA with the support of International agencies has taken concretesteps of eliminating terrorism. The oil industry has adopted extraprecautionary security measures to avoid any such risk. The Company inparticular has taken the specific insurance cover against this risk as one ofthe precautions.
Strategic Recommendations:
Corporate level:
To enable APL to attain new heights of success through investment in humancapital, implementation of lean production methods and a commitment to
Total Quality and Environment Management, APL plans, with the help ofAlmighty Allah, to further expand its existing retail network and penetrateuntapped markets with pro-active measures and effective planning,implementation and execution. APLs objective is to successfully deliver
18

premium quality products and services, which will translate into maximumcustomer satisfaction. Beyond the technical excellence of its products, APLintends to set an example in all dimensions of its entrepreneurial activities.APL sees its employees committed to the self-defined models of economic,social and ecological responsibility, which means not only economic successbut also conscientious interaction with its employees, people and the
environment.
Business Level:
The ultimate objectives of the Companys management are to come up to theexpectations of all the stakeholders and adopt a balanced approach in thisregard, which is also reflected precisely in the corporate strategy and thecore values. The priorities for action are set and reviewed at regular intervalsto grab the available opportunities and minimize the risks and threats arisingdue to change in the internal and external environment.

The presence of two refineries in the Attock Oil Group augurs well for thecompany which has spread its operations rapidly in the past and is continuingto do so with aggressive expansion plans going forward. With fuel demandexpected to remain robust in the country, especially in the furnace oilsegment, volume growth is expected to register a substantial increase.
In order to meet the mid country fuel demands, a terminal was built andcommissioned at Machike recently. This terminal connects APL with MFM(Mehmoodkot-Faisalabad-Machike) pipeline and WOP (white oil pipeline). Thisterminal has a storage capacity of High Speed Diesel, Superior Kerosene Oiland Premier Motor Gasoline. This storage/dispatch facility has furtherincreased APLs market share and is a step towards companys prosperousfuture. The other major achievement is in the sector of quality assuranceunit, by setting up of quality control lab at Machike and mobilization ofanother quality control mobile unit for central Punjab.
Further, APL also entered into a Joint Venture with Askari CNG, which iscurrently operating 52 CNG outlets, to convert 20 of its existing CNG outletsinto multi-fuel facility outlets. APL was awarded the contract of DGP-ARMY for
