What’s on our minds

- General credit market news

• Last week there were several international macroeconomic andpolitical events that were of high relevance to the credit markets. TheFed increased the federal funds rate by 25bp and the overallmessage from the FOMC meeting was that the Fed is on track andhas delivered one of the three hikes it projected back in December2016. Post the announcement, the USD depreciated somewhat andthe US 10-year government yield dipped 10bp to c.2.5%.

• The Dutch elections did not lead to further uncertainty and negativereactions in the European credit markets, as Geert Wilders’s PVVparty came in second after the currently ruling VVD party of PM MarkRutte. This election might have important repercussions for theupcoming French presidential election and Le Pen’s winning chances.Market sentiment improved clearly post the Dutch election and theFOMC meeting, reflected by a tightening in credit indices. ItraxxCrossover slid by 9bp to 275bp over the week, while Itraxx Maintightened 2bp to 70bp over the same period.

• Both Bank of England and Norges Bank announced in their monetarypolicy meetings that they are keeping their bank rates unchanged at0.25% and 0.50%, respectively. The news that the UK parliament hascleared PM May to move forward with Brexit did not, however, haveany material impact on credit indices.

• In the financials space, last week started with an overweight ofinvestors selling cares, though without any panic selling. Thefinancials primary market was, however, fuelled by new issuancesprinting at relatively tight levels. BNP Paribas issued for example a5.5-year senior bond with a coupon of 3M EURIBOR+85bp (c.MS+73bp).

Medium credit risk – Buy Kungsleden 2019s in SEK

- Reducing leverage through rights issue (published 7 February)

Buy NOKIA 2019 USD, trading at wide margin to Nokia 2019 EUR

Published on 23 May 2016

Key arguments for the trade

• Last week, Kungsleden announced that its board had decided to conduct a rights issue of around SEK1.6bn in order to strengthen its balance sheet. Consequently, we see a positive credit trend for Kungsleden.

• Kungsleden also presented a revised financial policy, with a near-term target for LTV of 50-55% (previously 55% target for 2020).

• Kungsleden’s bonds have previously traded in line with sector peers such as Klövern and Sagax and the SEK ‘BB’ index. Considering the company’s ambition to strengthen its balance sheet, we think a repricing corresponding to around one credit notch is justified (i.e. around 30-40bp tightening potential on the 2019 bond).

• As of end-September 2016, Kungsleden’s gross LTV was 58%, down from 64% at YE 2015. The secured LTV stood at 54% at end-September. In conjunction with the rights issue announcement, the company stated that it will strive for an LTV in the interval of 50-55% ‘at this point in the cycle’ (pro forma rights issue: 52%).

• Following the company’s announcement, we upgraded our bond recommendation on Kungsleden from Marketweight to Overweight (see Kungsleden - Reducing leverage through rights issue, 7 February 2017).

Name News Implication

Heimstaden

Heimstaden (MW) agreed to acquire Ståhl Fastigheter with some 90,000 square metres ofproperties, of which 50% in Norrköping and 50% in Uppsala. The properties in Norrköpingare mainly residential, while the properties in Uppsala are commercial (offices plus onehotel). The agreed price, including some land, is SEK1.5bn. Heimstaden has been managingthe properties on behalf of Ståhl Fastigheter since 2015. The financing is 60% bank loansand the remainder in cash. The transaction is in line with Heimstaden's acquisitive strategy.We maintain our Marketweight recommendation on the company's SEK bonds that webelieve to be fairly priced relative to sector peers, contingent on Heimstaden maintaining a(net) LTV of below 65% over time (end Q4: 50%).

Credit neutral

SAS

In the seasonally weak Q1 SAS posted EBITDA of SEK-302m versus SEK77m in Q1 16. Thepre-tax loss amounted to SEK697m versus SEK309m in Q1 16. The higher loss is due tofierce price pressure, higher fuel cost y/y and unfavourable FX movements y/y mainly relatedto the stronger USD. The cash outflow was SEK1.1bn and the cash and cash equivalentsamount to SEK7.2bn end Q1 17. With SAS guiding for positive pre-tax profit for the full-year(unchanged) this should support the cash holding in the coming quarters. Adj. net debt toEBITDA was around 4x. Overall a result much in line with expectations, as SAS had alreadywarned of a higher loss y/y in Q1. We continue to see support for the 19cb - it should tradearound the b- curve, which still leaves around 50-70bp tightening potential.

Switch to NDASS 2% 21s from NDASS 4% 20sThe 20 has outperformed – take the opportunity to extend in Nordea

Buy NOKIA 2019 USD, trading at wide margin to Nokia 2019 EUR

Published on 23 May 2016

Key arguments for the trade

• NDASS 20 has clearly outperformed NDASS 21.

• NDASS 21 is trading at a quite decent level in line with Nordic peers and, while we do not consider it ‘cheap’ on a relative value basis, we think now is a good opportunity to take profit on the 20s and pick up the 21s to maintain Nordea exposure.

• Nordea’s Q4 results beat expectations, driven by higher trading income and lower loan losses. Costs are increasing temporarily due to a number of group-level initiatives but should peak in 2017. The CET1 ratio increased to 18.4% and the management buffer is now a comfortable 100bp.

• On the back of a fairly strong report and more attractive EUR senior pricing, we upgraded our recommendation on Nordea from Underweight to Marketweight in conjunction with the Q4 results (see Post-results - Nordea Q4 16 - Stability despite headwinds, 26 January, for details).

Outright Buy Vestas EUR2022s EUR Vestas bonds are trading just tighter than the ‘BB+’ fair value curve, 09 Feb 2017

which leaves them with a substantial performance potential compared to the 'BBB' fair value curve.

Switch Switch to SHBASS 1.125% 2022s from SHBASS 4.375% 2021s EUR The SHBASS 1.125% 2022s have underperformed the SHBASS 4.375% 2021s since the bank reported Q3 16 results. While the impact of Brexit and Basel 4 remain risks, they do not justify the kink in the SHBASS curve, in our view.

ESB

ESB delivered a strong H2 16. Revenues declined 3% y/y while group clean EBITDA rose11% y/y, driven mainly by stronger tariffs and by the commissioning of new gas capacity inthe UK being offset partly by weaker GBP/EUR and lower power prices. ESB’s net debt wasunchanged h/h. Lower pension provisions helped drive adjusted net debt-to-EBITDA strongerat 3.6x, down 6% h/h. Overall, it was a credit positive result, which should not have an impacton the rating. We see most value in the ESBIRE 24s and call 28s.

Credit positive

Metso

Metso (OW): S&P affirms the BBB/Stable rating. Metrics are solid for the BBB rating but theweakness in the mining industry has left investors fearing a potential rating downgrade.However, with the increase in order intake in H2 16 (although Metso had a weak Q4 16order intake y/y due to tough comps) and the solid metrics for the rating we expect asignificant tightening of the EUR22bond over the coming months. Yes, it is illiquid but currentvaluation wider than the BBB- curve is way off. We remain Overweight Metso.

Credit neutral

G4S

G4S (MW) reported a credit positive 2016 result with EBITDA of GBP592m vs GBP526min 2015. Operating cash flow increased to GBP638m from GBP395 in 2015. Net debt waslowered to GBP1670m from GBP 1782m in 2015 and net debt to EBITDA declined to 2.8xend-2016 vs 3.4x end-2015 and 3.2x H1 16. G4S still expects to reach the target of netdebt to EBITDA below 2.5x end-2015. The lower leverage moves S&P further away fromdowngrading G4S from the current BBB-/Neg Outlook in our view. With continueddeleveraging in 17 this should support the EUR23 bond that is trading significantly widerthan the BBB curve.

Credit neutral

Danfoss

Despite making bolt-on acquisitions worth DKK1.9bn during 2016 Danfoss kept creditmetrics flattish y/y due to strong operating cash flow and relatively low dividends. Withannual operating cash flow of around DKK5bn Danfoss is well positioned to do more M&Aand we believe these ambitions are likely to postpone any rating upgrade in the short tomedium term, although metrics are solid for the current BBB rating. With the EUR22 bondalready trading close to the BBB+ curve we see the bond as fully valued and maintain ourMarketweight.

Scania

Q4 numbers out this morning. Solid truck order bookings in the quarter driven by largely allregions. Order bookings in Europe remained strong and increased in unit terms 19% y/y inthe quarter. Truck demand from Eurasia rose y/y in the quarter driven by the Russian market,which appears to have bottomed out according to Scania. Service revenues grew 6% y/y inlocal currencies, leaving the service share of group revs at 21% during the full-year 2016.While the favourable development in Europe, high service volumes and FX had positive effectson earnings, this was partly offset by investments related to Scania’s new truck generationand lower deliveries in Brazil. The operating margin was 9.2% in the quarter (Q4 15: 10.3%)and for the FY it was 9.8% (adj. for non-recurring items), compared to 10.2% in FY 15.

Credit neutral

Elisa

Buys part of small Finnish Estonian network company Santa Monica. No acquisition pricedisclosed but co had revenues of EUR44m and an EBIT of EUR3m, i.e. the acquisition price islikely between EUR25-EUR50m (more likely the low end of the range). Elisa does not changethe guidance on the back of this acquisition. Credit neutral overall. Credit neutral
