A publication of
the Greater Houston Partnership Volume 19, Number 8 • August 2010 Drilling Moratorium Impact — Since the Obama Administration issued its ban on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, there have been numerous studies on the moratorium’s impact upon the energy industry and the economy. Joseph R. Mason, an economist at Louisiana State University, estimates that the Gulf states (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas) will lose 8,169 jobs, $2.1 billion in economic output, and $487 million in wages. Texas’ share of that loss: 2,492 jobs, $622 million in gross domestic product, and $153 million in wages. If the mora- torium lasts more than six months, the losses would at least double or triple, Mason notes. In June, Morgan Stanley released a study suggesting three different scenarios for when deepwater drilling would resume: o Bull Case: The presidential commission studying the blowout completes its re- view and makes recommendations in six months. Congress enacts new rules and regulations in the following two months. Drilling resumes soon afterward. Morgan Stanley gives this scenario a 5 percent likelihood of happening. o Bear Case: The commission takes 12 months to review safety procedures and make recommendations. Congress bogs down in debate. Two years elapse be- fore new regulations are issued. Another 12 months elapse before rigs return to the Gulf. Morgan Stanley gives this scenario a 35 percent likelihood. o Base Case: The commission completes its work in six months. Congress takes six to 12 months to pass legislation. Although some rigs have moved out of the Gulf, activity resumes soon after legislation passes. Morgan Stanley gives this scenario a 60 percent likelihood. The study also suggests the moratorium will have the greatest impact upon the sub- sea equipment makers and offshore drillers. Smaller service companies and land- focused drillers will not be affected. An IHS Global Insight study, commissioned by Houston-based Cobalt Energy, es- timates that offshore activity supports 382,250 direct, indirect and induced jobs, adds $69.8 billion to the U.S. economy, and generates $30.1 billion in wages and salaries. The independent energy firms are responsible for approximately half of that employment, wages and impact to the U.S. economy.

HOUSTON—THE ECONOMY AT
A GLANCE so arduous that independents can no longer work offshore, their contributions to the economy would be at risk. Most studies have dealt with the moratorium’s impact at the state, national and in- dustry level. If a detailed study has been completed on Houston, the GHP research department has yet to find it. (If you have one, please share it with us.) Most im- pact figures that are cited are anecdotal or from news reports. Last week, Baker Hughes announced the drilling ban would force it to move 300 Gulf workers over- seas. In a recent meeting with the real estate firm CB Richard Ellis, several brokers noted tenants asking for short-term renewals on their leases. They were reluctant to commit to long-term contracts until the impact of the moratorium is more apparent. One study that went almost unnoticed was the Energy Information Admin- istration’s International Energy Outlook 2010. EIA noted that worldwide energy consumption, on a BTU basis, is projected to grow by 49 percent from ’07 to ’35. Worldwide demand for liquid fuels and other petroleum products will grow 29 percent, from 86.1 million barrels per day in ’07 to 110.6 million in ’35. World- wide demand for natural gas is projected to grow 44 percent, from 108 trillion cubic feet in ’07 to 156 trillion cubic feet in ’35. The United States faces tough competition for oil and gas supplies on the world market. The Gulf of Mexico ac- counts for 30 percent of the crude and 13 percent of the natural gas produced in the United States. If U.S. policy shuts down exploration and production in the Gulf, that would have dire consequences for U.S. energy supply and energy security. Employment Continues to Recover — The Texas Workforce Commission reports that the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown Metropolitan Statistical Area creat- ed 600 net new jobs in the month of June, marking the fifth consecutive month of job gains. Though the net increase is small a look at the details suggests a som- ewhat different picture. o Sector Gains and Losses: The private sector created 13,100 jobs in June with solid gains in several sectors—leisure and hospitality (3,100 jobs); professional and business services (2,600 jobs); trade, transportation, and utilities (2,600 jobs); manufacturing (1,700 jobs) and oil and gas (1,200 jobs). These gains were offset by losses of 12,500 government jobs. Federal employment fell (- 4,200 jobs) as Census workers finish their contracts and educational em- ployment dropped (-9,200 jobs) because of teachers and support staff on 10- month contracts. The offset illustrates the challenge of working with seasonally unadjusted em- ployment data. As teachers leave school for the summer holidays their entry in- to the job market, albeit temporary, pulls down the job numbers while hotels and restaurants hiring for the vacation season lift the numbers. In the fall, the two will swap places. Leisure and hospitality employment will decline while employment in education will rise. August 2010 ©2010, Greater Houston Partnership Page 2

HOUSTON—THE ECONOMY AT
A GLANCE o Employment Trends: Employment in health care and social assistance con- tinued to grow throughout the recession, thanks to Houston’s growing and aging population. Over the past 12 months, the sector added 9,000 jobs. Mining employment has also held up well. In Houston, energy employment is more closely tied to worldwide activity than to anything else. The energy sector has added 1,200 jobs over the past 12 months. Changes over the past 12 months or from a specific point in time offer a better insight into employment trends. • For the 12 months ending June ’10, the Houston region lost 17,400 jobs, or a loss of 0.7 percent. As recently as December, the 12 month loss was 92,500 jobs, or 3.5 percent. • Private sector employment peaked at 2,268,500 jobs in August ’08 and trended downward for 17 months, bottoming out at 2,106,100 jobs in January ’10. Since January, the private sector has regained 42,700 of the 162,000 private sector jobs lost in the recession or about 26 percent of the total. Again, these are seasonally unadjusted numbers. The recovery, though slow, continues across the nation. Eight of the nation’s large- st metro areas now show over-the-year job growth. Houston is among 13 large metros that have over-the-year losses of less than 1 percent. Jobs losses for all large metros, those with 1.5 million or more in population, are now less than 3 percent. Unemployment Rate — Houston’s June unemployment rate stood at 8.8 percent. The unemployment rate for Austin was 7.4 percent, for Dallas-Fort Worth, 8.5 percent, and for San Antonio 7.1 percent. McAllen had the highest unemployment rate in the state at 12.2 percent and Midland had the lowest at 5.9 percent. The un- employment rate for Texas stood at 8.5 percent and for the United States at 9.6 percent. (All rates are not seasonally adjusted.) Office Market Remains Weak, Industrial Market Improving — The office market remains weak while the industrial market shows signs of improvement, according to Lynn Cirillo with CB Richard Ellis. The number of office leases signed in the first half of the year is up but net absorption is down as tenants downsize their space and take advantage of incentives such as free rent, abated parking, and flexible contract terms offered by landlords to keep tenants in their spaces. Though several submarkets reported positive net absorption this year, nota- bly the Energy Corridor and FM 1960/Highway 249 area, the market overall re- ported a negative net absorption of 645,000 square feet, which represents about 0.3 percent of the 190.2 million square feet of available space in Houston. Occupancy has declined for six consecutive quarters and the trend is anticipated to continue until the economy strengthens, Cirillo notes. August 2010 ©2010, Greater Houston Partnership Page 3

HOUSTON—THE ECONOMY AT
A GLANCE The industrial market absorbed 2.7 million square feet of space during the first six months of ’10, moving the vacancy rate from 7.1 percent in the first quarter to 7.0 percent at the end of the second. As in the office market, tenants are receiving concessions such as free rent or increased tenant improvement dollars as landlords negotiate early renewals to insure cash flow and continued occupancy. The in- dustrial market should continue to tighten as only 417,000 square feet of space is under construction, the U.S. economy continues to recover, and activity in the Port of Houston grows. New Vehicle Sales Up —Total monthly sales volume of new cars, trucks and SUVs in the Houston region increased from 13,474 vehicles in June ’09 to 16,642 vehicles in June ’10, according to TexAuto Facts Report published by InfoNation, Inc. of Sugar Land. This represents a 23.5 percent increase over the same month last year. Nationally, sales increased 14 percent for June ’10 compared with June ’09. Average sales price for the Houston region in June ’10 was $31,334, an 8.3 percent increase from the pre-recession price base of June ’07 when the average vehicle sales price was $28,932. Houston region truck/SUV sales continue to be significantly higher than the natio- nal trend. In ’09, truck/SUV market share was at 54.8 percent in the Houston re- gion while national truck/SUV sales were 46.6 percent in the first-half of ’10. Houston Airport System Posts Gains — The Houston Airport System posted year-to-year gains in passenger volume and air freight in June ’10. Passenger volume rose 1.6 percent over June ’09, as 4.5 million passengers passed through Houston’s commercial airports. Domestic volume had a 1.0 percent increase, while international volume rose 5.1 percent. International passenger vol- ume has had year-to-year gains since September ’09. This June saw international passengers account for 17.1 percent of total passengers—one of only 10 months since 1980 where the international share has accounted for 17 percent or more of total passengers. Landings and takeoffs fell 5.2 percent shy of the June ’09 total. Air freight volume, however, posted a 17.3 percent increase for the month. Postings and Foreclosures Drop — Harris County foreclosures totaled 1,252 in July ’10, down 2.0 percent from July ’09, while July ’10 postings totaled 4,092, down 8.4 percent from last July, reports Foreclosure Information & Listing Service. August 2010 ©2010, Greater Houston Partnership Page 4

HOUSTON—THE ECONOMY AT
A GLANCE A posting for foreclosure occurs when a property in default is scheduled for sale at a monthly foreclosure auction. A foreclosure occurs when the lienholder assumes ownership of a property in default. Since April ’10, the postings’ 12-month running total has been trending downward. The 12-month running total for foreclosures appears to have stabilized over the same time period. “While there will continue to be some volatility in posting activity, totals should continue to stabilize contingent upon the admittedly anemic recovery from the recession,” notes the service. Other good news is that the ratio of foreclosures to postings remains low, indi- cating that a large share of problem loans continues to be resolved before actual foreclosure. Over the past five years, the ratio has been as high as 49 percent, but since January the 12-month ratio has hovered around 27 percent. Foreign Trade Continues to Rise — The Houston-Galveston Customs District handled foreign trade valued at $18.3 billion in May, up 42 percent from $12.8 billion in May ’09, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Exports totaled $7.9 billion, up 26 percent from $6.3 billion in May ’09. Imports totaled $10.4 billion, up 57 percent from $6.6 billion in May ’09. Foreign trade has been trending upward since bottoming out in February ’09. For the first five months of ’10, trade totaled $88.9 billion, up 34 percent from $62.7 billion last year. Exports were $36.9 billion, up 29 percent from $28.7 billion last year. Imports were $46.9 billion, up 38 percent from $34.0 billion last year. Fuel oils, chemicals, plastics, industrial machinery, boats, cereals and vehicles comprise the bulk of the goods passing through the Houston-Galveston Customs District. The recent surge in exports and imports reflects the improving U.S. and global economies. However, economists have expressed concern over imports rising faster than exports, indicating that foreign trade could pull down the nation’s growth in the second quarter. Oil Prices Remain Strong — The Friday closing spot market price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI) averaged 77.49 a barrel for the first half of ’10, compared to $57.11 for the first half of ’09. In its July Short-Term Energy Out- look, the Energy Information Administration projects the WTI spot price, which ended June near $76 per barrel, will average $79 per barrel over the second half of ’10 and $83 per barrel in ’11. The Friday closing spot market price of Henry Hub natural gas averaged $4.80 per MMBtu for the first half of ‘10, compared to $4.08 for the first half of ’09.
