Cheese Price Discovery Structures, Reasons, & Consequences Mike Brown Dairy Economist Glanbia Foods, Inc.

-OR-

CME Cash Markets & Cheese Price Discovery Structures, Reasoning, and Consequences Mike Brown Dairy Economist Glanbia Foods, Inc.

Slide 4 Cheese Pricing Methods Current US Practices - Pricing Structure Based on CME Adjustments - World Markets - Why use the CME? - Challenges Alternative Ideas

Slide 5 Almost All Cheese Priced the Same Price Base is CME Spot Markets - CME Cash Barrel price used for Barrel cheese for further processing - CME Cash Block Price used for most all other commodity cheese.

Slide 6 Many Adjustments to CME Pricing Dates Location Cheese Composition Variety Market Demand

Slide 7 Price Timing “Date of Make” - Most common pricing for commodity cheese Most cheese is sold under longer-term contracts, usually for a year. Date of make usually reflects a weekly average CME spot price. Price reflects the price when the cheese was manufactured and the milk was purchased. Fresh cheese most often delivered about days after manufacture, and most is sold within a month. Weekly price average is based on average CME price from 1-2 weeks previous. Even “commodity” aged cheese is sold on date of make. – Covers cost of milk at time of production, plus aging costs.

Slide 8 Price Timing Date of Sale - Some sales based on at time of delivery. - Current demand is moving ahead of supplies of fresh cheese Higher price than DOM - Current production and/or inventory levels too high Lower price than DOM - Spot cheese may be still invoiced based on date of make Premium/discount to reflect current date of sale conditions. Keeps the Accountants Happier.

Slide 9 Composition Adjustments Price can reflect milk ingredient costs – adjustments for level of moisture, and thus fat and protein Higher moisture cheese: Less solids & more water = possible lower price – Doesn’t necessarily mean less margin – Monterey Jack vs. Cheddar is one Example Lower moisture cheese Barrels generally sold at standardized moisture of 39%, but most commonly contain 35-36% moisture. Milk Component content of cheese also can impact adjustments from CME Cash Market. – Historically, butterfat monitored more closely in Cheddars

Slide 10 Location Adjustments Delivery Cost to Markets big part of price adjustment. - Closer to Buyers = Higher Value Price Differentials don’t have to be set by regulation West Coast cheese worth less Wisconsin & NY cheese worth more - Export sales can change this relative location value CA, WA cheese best positioned for Asia NM, West TX best positioned for Mexico EX: Western whey > central whey when exports are strong Less so when exports slow

Slide 11 Export Pricing World Markets also want open price discovery - Buyers may want fixed price, but they prefer it be based on some reference price. GDT provides bi-weekly price discovery tool for NZ products. CME provides daily price discovery. What determines their point of reference? Importer may want the seller to offer a fixed price based on these markets, plus cheese futures. – Generally leave the process to fix price to Seller

Slide 12 Why CME? “Not perfect but it’s the best we have” - Customers want open-market price Market Traded Price, if with limited volume Buyers, Sellers know others pay off the same price Aligns with CME Cheese Futures – Two week lag is quite predictable – Biggest issue can be block barrel spread.

Slide 13 Why CME? - Processors want alignment with regulated milk price FMMO Pricing : NDPSR vs CME Cheese correlation about 98% with a two week lag. Obligated to Class III under FMMO rules unless depooled CDFA Pricing: Price is entirely based on CME Blocks Near-perfect correlation for processors

Slide 14 Other Options NDPSR Price - Not Common Combination of Blocks and Barrels No one wants circularity to become an issue - Works well with CME Cheese Futures - Minimize cheese milk cost basis with Class III Pricing Class III Price - Used with some products Still strongly correlated with CME

Slide 15 Other Options Cost-Based Pricing - In its infancy - Most workable with longer-term sales (>1 Year) - Cheese Costs based on changes in primary inputs Futures-based so inputs can be hedged by buyer Costs reflect change in input costs - Limitations Everyone’s costs are different “Aligning the stars” for producers and buyers is difficult

Slide 16 Overall: In a perfect world, our the CME markets would have more volume. But, both Buyers and Sellers have enough comfort in the CME cash markets to use as a pricing tool. Buyers do not want a market price that may be out of sync with their competitors – they will hedge when they want. Close relationship to NDPSR prices make Cash Cheese Futures hedging workable. Most foreign buyers also prefer a public cash market.

Slide 17 Overall: Regulated milk pricing makes use of CME nearly mandatory, and limits the opportunity for more creative and differentiated price discovery. - Unregulated competitive price risk vs. regulated price obligations. - Regulation ties realistic risk management options to futures. Difficult to exercise more creative approaches in FMMO regulated markets. Even less opportunity in California.
